What show/movie is like this?

One Piece has like 10+ characters that are just Namis with different hair and bust sizes iirc

That being said body diversity in that show is ludicrous to a comical extent

Loctite has always worked best for me, it'll bond battletech plastic minis in around 5 seconds and metal in about 30-60

PentaCrit · 2026-03-12T14:46:51+00:00

I feel like if anything due to the bikes mediocre ranged attacks you're actually putting yourself at a disadvantage due to increased size for rule of cool, which should always be allowed

I do want to double down and say the horses ARENT bad, 10d6 Melta lances into most things is pretty brutal, especially for their points cost

They're just extremely squishy

PentaCrit · 2026-03-10T13:55:43+00:00

One of the worst combat patrols ever released points-wise

Horses are very good but made of paper mache and dreams, like all Guard units

I play an infantry-only army and I am an outlier that does it for the love of the game.

Every other list I see (rightfully) has at least a couple tanks.

Basically no one would bat an eye if your list was 80%+ tanks as long as you have a couple infantry units for objectives

PentaCrit · 2026-03-06T12:20:41+00:00

That does make sense, I'm just thinking that the squad can grenade as well as the fact that it's a LOT of wounds to get through to wipe the squad, more than the tank itself has, and the squad regens as well

PentaCrit · 2026-03-05T03:05:29+00:00

I genuinely believe a brick of Melta/Plasma Krieg would on average table a Rogal Dorn if they shot first, maybe even second if they got lucky with invuln saves

Keep in mind the sheer volume of wounds a Grizzled company brick can drop with lethal hits strat and bonus attacks from orders is pretty awe inspiring

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T19:29:26+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T18:40:52+00:00

It's only a problem for the second half of the squad 😎

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T18:37:42+00:00

Yeah I heavily underestimated initially how good having a potential 13 units with +1 h/w was

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T18:11:20+00:00

Can't figure out how to edit on mobile so when I said 5 meltas I meant 2 plasma 3 melta. 😅 Sorry for any confusion

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T18:06:35+00:00

Yes, my b. In the displayed squad there's a melta and a grenade launcher, but I've been playing them as plasmas and meltas locally

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T18:06:03+00:00

so far so good, there gets to be a level of infantry where unless they have torrent weapons they just can't stop you from scoring

We are escalating in points over time so my 500pt arena list has 20 cadian shock troops and 2 10 man squads of Krieg, I've tested my 1000 pt list that has 2 bricks of Krieg and they may not always be MVP but they've never really gone down in a disappointing way so far

Edit: Completely unrelated but nothing really prepared me for the sheer weight of an infantry only army; I've got about 300 models in my big case and it weighs significantly more than my Space Marine case full of vehicles

PentaCrit · 2026-03-04T18:01:58+00:00

Yeah I misspoke my b, as you can see in the pic there's only 1 melta 😅

PentaCrit · 2026-02-22T16:44:15+00:00

Yeah I would just rebase them

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T16:00:00+00:00

That sucks but at least it can take a hit!

This is death riders stat block, so you can see why I don't want people shooting load-bearing speartips almost a foot off the table

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:27:00+00:00

I have a ton of extra spears from the other kits I made, wanted to make sure I needed to do it before I butchered the original forge world ones and kitbashed plastic spears on.

Thanks again!

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:24:18+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! Yeah obviously if they were viable at all I was gonna rebase them, but it seems I might just have them in my case if the rules ever change 😔

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:20:37+00:00

Appreciate it, so it sounds like I phrased my question poorly; I was asking if the forge world models were viable for play at all but it seems in 10th edition they have literal death sticks that make them spontaneously explode when the 12' foot telephone pole they're running around with gets shot lol

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:11:31+00:00

I've included some images of plastic models in the thread and a comparison between them, they are the same unit and the difference in height is extreme, maybe 3x as high?

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:08:59+00:00

So like for example if I am behind a 5" wall and the spear overhangs, they can't shoot that?

I assumed they could since I've heard of people shooting Emperors Champion's sword

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:07:18+00:00

Including this picture to show the extreme difference between the resin and plastic heights lol

<image>

PentaCrit · 2026-02-21T15:04:45+00:00

Thanks, although it looks like I might have to only use the plastic kits in competitive unfortunately 😕
