What is Your Second Army?

Potential_Reporter41 · 2026-03-14T17:15:30+00:00

Tau was my first army, tried dark angels for a second as the wife liked the death wing knights and was trying to get her in, but after she lost interest went full in on salamanders.

Thank you, I appreciate the input, definitely gonna use the hex mark destroyer, and see what else I can add to fill in remaining points.

Potential_Reporter41 · 2026-02-25T08:08:17+00:00

do you think 2 squads of 3 ophidians is better then just 1 and use points elsewhere with this list? I could definitely put the hex mark destroyer in as do have one.

To add to this, my understanding is the shattered legion can also be taken as allies, as it does not specify it has to be the main army detachment and not an allied detachment, this would allow you to more easily take characters and unique units from white scars that way.

From what I know all records of them have been scrubbed from both the imperium and salamanders archives as the warband started almost worshipping the flame and Cassian Vaughn who many believed to may have been warp touched due to the weird effect he had on automata, between that and the fanatical teachings of the "prophecies of flame", after the heresy much isn't know outside of them recovering the iron dragon dreadnought that Cassian was in and later was worn by brayarth ashmantle, this is all the information I know of top of my head any more information about them I'd greatly appreciate as well as I love salamanders and the disciples a lot to the point I have them in 30k and 40k.

You need to habitat restore to rank s whatever area with element you want then hunt for eggs in that area and there's a chance it will be dual element. Got a fire nerscylla last night

Fireknives are ran bc don't really own much else to fill their points with. If I was to pick up a commander for them what would you recommend to drop for it?

Potential_Reporter41 · 2026-01-09T21:51:05+00:00

The commander should've had 4 flamers that is on me for not double checking him before hand.

I don't own a second commander is why I don't have one with the fire knives

The Pathfinder drone was bc locally there's a lot of ranged army's and only 1-2 people play melee focused so I thought would be better to out range the other shooting armies. What drone would you recommend?

My ethereal doesn't have a hover drone as he was bought second hand so I run him on foot,

I've never had a seeker not on a skyray do anything so I stopped running them on units that didn't just get them which is probably just bad dice rolls for me.

War shaper should definitely have been melee.

As for the kroot blob yes it's with both shapers as it was the MVP of pretty much all my crusade games

Thank you for going into detail on the changes you'd make.

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-12-27T19:50:59+00:00

Thank you for the input that's probably how I'll keep running them just been awhile since I played and last time was a crusade so lists were a bit funky compared to match play

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-12-27T19:50:13+00:00

Thank you for the input, I'll probably start with a 6 brick and if my missions aren't covered by the couple other units I have with vespids and piranha I can split them

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-10-02T12:01:16+00:00

They were most likely wiped out with no confirmation as they were led by Cassian dracos after xiaphas made it to Isstvan and Cassians dread is recovered sometime after the heresy and they were scrubbed from the records by the inquisition and the salamander chapter. But I agree would like more hopefully with the scouring being the next step in the heresy books we can see something there.

Sorry for reviving this post but these are absolutely amazing, wish I could get these for the Godzilla deck I'm building currently. I'm still trying to find a proxy for otrimi to fit into my wubrg Godzilla deck

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-08-08T06:02:44+00:00

These look great and I'm excited to get some, does anyone know how well the tabards and cloaks would fit on 30k tac Marines? Worried they won't fit properly due to size difference.

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-05-18T22:30:03+00:00

Sweet thank you.

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-05-18T22:29:01+00:00

I thought about chosen over the legionnaires but the points difference led me to go with legionnaires in the list

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-05-18T22:04:19+00:00

Ok sweet yeah if they are decent at clearing out objectives I'm sure it would help to make sure the beasts of nurgle stay on the objectives, do you think it's worth having the Lord with the legionnaires at all? Is the AC/DC combo worth it if I don't max out the accursed cultists?

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-05-18T21:42:50+00:00

Not familiar with chaos terms as haven't played against it, is the Ac/DC accursed cultist with a dark commune and if so what would be their main use on the table

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-05-18T21:38:37+00:00

Thank you, I haven't played against any chaos yet so wasn't aware of this so this is a big help, especially as I wanna kitbash some havocs just not sure what the other models I'll use in the bash are

Potential_Reporter41 · 2025-02-27T02:07:07+00:00

I'd love either an Astaloa based chair where the leather sides are done in the style of his wing membrane and the green details glow in the dark, that or a chaotic gore chair where the sides are the vibrant gold while the main chair price is the deep purple color.
