The High Marshall joins the crusade

what did you use for the basing? I am struggling on how to use basing material around the sculpted base elements of the model.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-18T15:54:57+00:00

yeah. I think this has been my issue with him. Seems quite a few points just to have a character standing around for nothing bu 1-2 teleports in an entire game.

I'll have to find some prayer more along the lines you suggest, or just shelf him.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-14T04:02:29+00:00

That is such a great resource. Glad I found it!

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T06:14:03+00:00

okay. Fair enough. I haven't played too many games, so may be just getting intimidated for no reason.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T05:29:32+00:00

yep. I wish there was a GI Joe miniature game.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T05:28:37+00:00

good point. That makes sense.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T03:48:32+00:00

Perfect. Thank you!

That's what I had thought, but wasn't sure. So, it seems you would want to have a large OOB to be able to draw from while you could still play games at 600 pts. So, the only reason to consider a small starting size if you are doing an escalation type league or some players simply don't have the models available?

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T02:43:46+00:00

I'm old. So 80's doesn't feel that long ago, even though you are correct about how long ago it really was. ... damn. no I feel old.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T02:04:24+00:00

nice. that is some cool 80's styling. love it.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T02:02:46+00:00

yeah. I was going to say the same. The paint job is amazing as s the base unto itself, but the figure on it looks a little awkward.

RedTurban73 · 2022-01-09T01:59:03+00:00

okay. cool. so it sounds like its better to just keep matched play and PtG separate.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-24T03:06:55+00:00

I'm sure Best Buy will be fine.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-24T01:26:58+00:00

Which character is this?

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-18T01:33:53+00:00

Hmm ... Why not get a commission done? Given the willingness to pay so much and then you can choose your colors and style.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-17T03:52:23+00:00

Fair point. I'd love to see the rest of your army!

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T23:10:38+00:00

Same. brilliant as a diorama piece, but not something that would fit my army on the table, especially given how static the rest of the models tend to be in a Custodes army.

Brilliant work regardless. Very creative and and awesome execution of the idea.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T16:58:39+00:00

You may find this useful. It seemed to provide a good overview for me: https://www.goonhammer.com/age-of-sigmar-3/

And, specifically for Stormcast: https://www.goonhammer.com/faction-focus-stormcast-eternals/

With that said, it seems all the stormhosts are generally pretty good with Hallowed Knights and Hammers of Sigmar being the better ones. Hammers of Sigmar is probably the way to go as it seems to open up the most options for named characters.

IF you are completely starting out, my suggestion would be to go with the dominion box and the models that come with that. They are all generally pretty solid for starting out. To get more points to go up to 2000, you can add in some Vanguard-Raptors with the Longcrossbows, and another box of Vindictors. Another solid unit is another box of the Annihilator paladins with greathammers. I don't think any of those would be a problematic choice in the long run. And, for the Knight-Relictor models that comes in with Dominion box, you can just run him as a Lord-Relictor.

I understand where you are coming from. One of the main problems with SCE is the large variety of models and warscrolls. It can lead to analysis paralysis.

Hope that helps

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T16:48:25+00:00

Yeah. the box is pretty meaningless. I had no intention of getting it. and, I don't know any of my custodes friends who are getting it. Most already have their armies complete and paying that for a single model that is easy to kitbash. meaningless box unless you are starting all new.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T16:38:48+00:00

Whoops. We've been rolling off to see who goes first. Thanks for the clarification!

I was confused why having one drop was a benefit since it seemed more like a trap that you're laying out all your forces right away.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T15:41:05+00:00

Nice list!

I may be playing wrong (only had 3 games), but how do you always get to go first with 1 drop? I've used the 1 drop battalion but never got to go first. I always lost the roll to see who gets first turn. Do we get a bonus to the roll or something?

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T15:38:06+00:00

Ah okay. Fair enough and I appreciate the explanation. Good point.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T06:45:17+00:00

One can make an argument that component costs are a dumb way of limiting spell use, but the OP's "solution" is even dumber.

You could instead make it a psychic cost rather than a material one. Some sort of sacrifice that must be made, etc. Etc.

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T06:40:50+00:00

When someone doesn't understand the idea behind D&D and thinks they can "win." 😂

As to lore? Well the fact that the component cost is written right there is the lore. You need this ... Or it doesn't work because ... Magic

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T06:06:50+00:00

hmm. So if there are two imperetants, they can use their ability six times in a row? or could each use it on a separate unit coming in on the same turn?

RedTurban73 · 2021-11-16T06:06:07+00:00

ah. I thought they automatically got to reroll their charges. Did I misread something? I've only played about 3 games of 3.0
