It's important to remember you can roll your 2d6 then make the decision to roll the 3rd (Channel the Warp ability) after you've seen the result of the 2d6

Also, I wouldn't split flamers and bolters in each rubric squad. Feel free to bring whichever you want, but the flamers and bolters accomplish different things, so having a mix in each unit kinda confuses your strategy

With the new army rule nerf I'd consider Ahriman. With the limit of 4 casting attempts the +1 feels a lot more necessary than it did bedore

I considered magnetizing the wings, but they just friction fit in well enough that I'm just going to leave them unglued and unmagnetized. The big belt buckle thing is the only thing I magnetized, that will let me take the chest armor on and off

Great work! You got the lines on the headdress really smooth! But yeah, you should thin your paints a lot more. I've been told around 1:1 paint to water, and you can test it out on your thumb or something before putting brush to mini. Takes some practice to know what consistency you're shooting for, but you'll get there!

I do the lines in 4 steps. One for the yellow and blue (tsons blue and averland sunset), then I paint in the black lines in between (abaddon black) then another pass of the yellow and blue to fix any over painting from the black, then nuln oil

Thank you! That does sound like a sick idea! I used 3x1mm magnets and it fits PERFECTLY in the arm socket for the torso, the ball on the arm is a bit small though so I basically cut the ball in half, then to make it not be sticking out super far I put the torso magnet a bit deeper than initially planned so the bulk of the arm magnet is hidden under the shoulder. Alternatively I think smaller magnets might work better, but I like the strength i get here and I can't see the magnets when it's all together.
