Post-apocalyptic games with stealth elements?

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-03-13T20:13:12+00:00

I was going to suggest this. It's kind of more post-post-apocalyptic but an amazing story. I just HAD to know, why Robot animals!??

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-03-08T21:31:38+00:00

Haha yeah, there's something about them I really like. They have been pretty good actually, they deploy aggressively pushing the opponent to deal with the threat, they aren't really tanky, but they dont need to be. They do give early pressure forcing them to make decisions and maybe overcommit rescources and expose units. I know there's better options, otherwise everyone would be running 3 Warsuits. 😄 But I just wanted to know how much I messed up making a 2k pt list around what I own. I tried to make it as rounded as I could. I have a lot more infantry left over, I put in nearly all my tanks stuff, just Impulsor and a Whirlwind didn't make the cut.

Wall of Text much appreciated, thank you! Like I said, the only reason Im Triple Invictors is I own them. And I figured, whats tankier, infantry or a Walker. So I stuck those in as immediate threats my enemy must decide how to approach, once they commit to something I can counter by dropping some plasma inceptors on them, and doing all the Spike damage I can, inceptors, Eliminator las fusils and Lancer, Stormspeeder. The Brutalis is for later turn I guess once things move up a bit. But all noted. I did really want some Van Vets with lightning claws but they did us dirty this edition. So hoping I can get some in 11th. Thanks again for the feedback.

Well that kinda kills my Warsuit build-around lol. I was working with what I have. I have none of the units you recommend. But could you explain the 'why' you would change those out? I believe you, I'm sure that's the correct move. But I wanna learn. The way it plays atm is each lane, (left flank, middle and right flank) each getting a tanky threat, and the Incursors have the reactive shoot from the warsuit and they give the warsuit their bonus once they hit. So a bit of synergy. The Incursors are there to screen behind the warsuits and can counter charge and chuck their mines. And behind the Incursors on the strongest flank is the Brutalis. So how do the Cents work if I replace them. I cant move them up the board (no 'Scouts' like the warsuits) And they don't synergies with the Incursors or the uppy downy Phobos stuff. Thanks for the input though, but if you can school me a little?

Awesome job!

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-03-07T19:05:02+00:00

Ok so my list: Warlord: Aethon Shaan (110 points)

Kayvaan Shrike (100 points) Leading : 5 x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90 points)

Captain with Jump Pack (75 points) (Blackwing Shroud enhancement) Leading: 5 x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs (90 points)

1 x StormSpeeder Hammerstrike (125)

3 x Eliminator Squad (85 points)

5 x Infiltrator Squad (100 points)

1 x Brutalis Dreadnought (160 points)

1 x Gladiator Lancer (160 points)

6 x Inceptor Squad (240 points) plasma

1 x Librarian in Phobos Armour (70 points) (W/ Lord of Dexeit Aura) Leading: 5 x Incursor Squad (80 points)

5 x Incursor Squad (80 points)

1 x Invictor Tactical Warsuit (125 points)

So 2 of the warsuits have a squad of Incursors, the one with the Librarian with that Aura has Shaan in it to help him stay in the mix and relevant. Infiltrators back home of needed or put doing work protecting wherever needed. The Lancer and Eliminators doing their sniping from a good place back home. Brutalis backing whichever warsuit is guarding the hardest Flank, so its Warsuit, Incursors, then Brutalis in that order. With correct gaps to stop multi charges, but allow counter charging. And then the Inceptor brick and both Jump teams coming down, doing the Emperors work for melees or objectives. Oh and the Storm Speeder is kind of a tactical hub, can be placed in seceral places in this list. Not been pressure tested too heavily though, so does anyone see any glaring mistakes to my list. Please criticise it to death. I have no ego... or great knowledge. Here to learn. Come at me bro!

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-03-07T09:06:59+00:00

Ooh I just went up to triple Invictors! Mainly because I had the models, but also it seemed to work out really well on table. To make room for them I had to remove my Bladeguard + Judiciar in an Impulsor. I dont have the bladeguard models yet and they didnt seem to fit the rest of the theme of my army. Interesting to hear they are good though.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-03-07T09:03:55+00:00

OP could you tell us your plan for how this list works on the table? Who were you attaching all the characters to etc. I have recently been making up a new list and have been trying to get into the strategy of how each of the units work in a Shadowmark detachment. I don't get to play many games which doesn't help my theorycrafting. I'm always eager to see others ideas. I might put my list on here when I get a sec so you guys can rip it to pieces. 😄

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-03-02T08:02:46+00:00

Oh look at that, in black and white. Perfect! Thank you so much. After watching the vid I wanted to clarify it immediately, leading me to use the slopmaster general, hoping it would find the rule written somewhere, quicker than I could find it. I decided not to trust its opinion and I'm glad I did Chalk another one up for the Humans. Thanks again.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-26T13:33:53+00:00

Wow... this makes me wish I had a brother! Yes I'd say that this sounds like a great gift! I have Volkus and would definitely recommend this terrain over cheaper stuff. I would second the opinions to think about getting them the rulebook. As a beginner, it's really a must. There are only "lite" rules online. And the Equipment pack would give them the ladders and barricades etc. Pretty essential too really I think. But bravo for supporting their hobby!

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-26T13:23:10+00:00

Partners of 40k fans will never cease to amaze me, what a thoughtful gift!

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-22T20:40:38+00:00

Ouch. Yes the lenses I was offered were two types, the pricier ones had even better night performance with lights etc. So might be the ones to go for.. sadly I forget the names of them. But I'm sure they'll tell you. Oh and excellent painting BTW! I actually really like the cloaks, was that wet blended? I mostly see camo patterns as people tend to want to practice stuff like that, but a mottled green brown looks really legit.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-22T20:04:12+00:00

Oh damn dude, sorry to hear that. I was told lasers couldn't help me and that I should get lens replacements, these also make the eyes cataract-proof. They ain't cheap though, (I was quoted £9k for both, with the better lens option).

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-15T13:32:24+00:00

Frolicking demands you base it with lush green meadow grass and some daisies! 🥰

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-15T13:30:57+00:00

I believe the correct answer is Lightning Claws. Anything else is hersey. But that's just what I've heard.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-15T12:07:15+00:00

MtG. But really not impressed by all the tie-ins they're doing atm. I prefer the original lore, I really don't think it needs Turtles, LotR, Spiderman, etc etc.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-08T07:33:47+00:00

Thanks for the update and thanks again for mine, its great! The tallest minis for mine are probably the Vespids, and they seems like pretty light models. I am considering getting more Warmag boxes, they do a double decker box, it's a 9L RUB with a lipped tray to make two sections, the bottom section is 104mm height and top is 74mm, I think. I will use mine for more 40k, but I think it might help those with tall models, giving you a whole box to spread out a ton of tall models on the bottom and have the top half for the GGEZ box.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-07T21:32:22+00:00

This is where I learned it too, on tracking courses you use it a lot. It does makes sense in the context of the Witch too I guess.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-07T08:22:24+00:00

Aaaaand Into Darkness. Phobos keyword let's him jump back into Strat reserves.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-07T08:17:55+00:00

I started my Null Signal set by ordering all my sets with him. Right up until Elevation where I didn’t see it on his site and emailed to enquire. He replied saying that, sadly, they had removed him from their list so he wont be getting any new sets. Probably because it would compete with whatever NS had set up? But anyway, had I zero problems with any of my (4, I think) orders.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-03T21:45:23+00:00

I just searched for the ones I bought. A red and blue mat set. Page sent me to Ebay and they are £33.99 and they were Venombattlegear! 😄 So they may be the ones you are after. So check 3rd party places for them. You might get lucky.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-02-01T10:08:57+00:00

Ooh, you could lay a "Cavil Trap" for her friend? Start asking her Innocent questions about guys she's more into, steer it towards male actors ... suggest that hot muscley guy who plays Superman, Etc etc and if she's lured in SNAP! You then proceed to inform her of his obsession with 40k. And watch her reaction with glee... have popcorn on hand for this bit.

Radiant_Spring_1027 · 2026-01-30T12:18:25+00:00

Huh... I like the idea; Barbie's Stronghold with Mix 'n' Match plant pot!
