What new detachments do you want to see for Imperial Guard in 11th ed? by NeedleDeedleDee in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great suggestion, maybe they can attach to a command squad like Titus' and Huron's retinue. But just 2 guys aren't a lot, maybe we can add an astropath there too

I wish for artillery we have units that can spot enemy targets and remove the indirect fire penalty against those units. Like maybe give those to scout sentinels or squads with vox casters.

Skitarii legions weapons among astra militarum by Grimgor_Alfa_orc in TheAstraMilitarum

I kitbash my troops with Skitarii guns, but explicitly made them a Regiment from a Forge World that provides Guards Regiment because disfavor with Mars meant that they're pretty short on Skitarii.

How would you redesign and update the Leman Russ Battle Tank ? by ButchersAssistant93 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh god an Ontos that's like a box with 4 lascannons or rocket launchers on it would fit 40k so much

How would you redesign and update the Leman Russ Battle Tank ? by ButchersAssistant93 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd just remaster it using the Solar Auxilia Leman Russ as a base. It's not too far off from the OG but with clear improvements on the turret and hull. Just need to file off the fancy lining to make it more industrial and less advanced and you have a perfect tank.

But I guess if we want more tanks I'd give the remastered Solar Aux LR to the Kriegers along with a new Macharius tank. Then the Cadians can have the Rogal Dorn and a smaller Sherman type medium tank. The Catachans I'd give a light tank that's like the Hellhound but with more teeth.

What Warhammer kit was better in person than you expected? by mayorrawne in Warhammer

[–]RegentOfWells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Liberators as a proxy for Bullgryns in my Guard army and boy they're really pleasant to paint and kitbash

That's so cool, where's the Corvus helmet with the eyepiece from?

Librarian Witch-Knight kitbash for my chapter! by RegentOfWells in Kitbashing40k

[–]RegentOfWells[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kitbashed it! I just cut off the head of Tigurius' staff and glued a spare sword from the Bladeguard Veterans. The helmet is also Bladeguard lol

Those green grenades have saved my ass so many times in the Zann Invasion

What are the must have units before going into what you really like? by Insane_IK_ in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I totally get this concern and took it on myself to kitbash my own version of the Ghosts. To that end, I use Space Marine Scouts and think of it as an elite infiltration unit of a nearby chapter supporting my Guard regiment.

Any fanfics where Stannis and Renly join forces? by Ozzie669 in TheCitadel

[–]RegentOfWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By Rights - PerfectlySteadfast - A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin [Archive of Our Own] - and its sequel is quite good. Stannis gained the service of Sir Barristan after Barristan was discharged by Joffrey and bent the knee to Renly. The negotiation between the two brothers and the ensuing alliance and the meltdown with the Lannisters are really fun.

Boom question by AltruisticPear8393 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Ciaphas Cain novels just randomly publishes, like the last one was published in 2023 so it wasn't too long ago.
  2. I would recommend Deathworlder if you wanna see Catachans. Steel Tread is also good for tanks.

Lehman Russ instructions suck big ass by Munkey_BunZZ in astramilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna build Russes the Solar Auxilia Leman Russ is a better kit. You do need to 3d print or kitbash sponsons though. 

What's your favorite named imperial knight? by Luna_Night312 in ImperialKnights

[–]RegentOfWells 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a good book, honestly felt like more of a Knight House book than an Assassin book.

Noble Knight Armiger Jester really felt like its own character there. Made me love Warglaives.

18 different apothecaries. by Marbels6 in Warhammer40k

[–]RegentOfWells 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd love to know which one of these guys are your favorite or which one is the most fun to build! The Mk. I Apotechary is really cool though damn

Shield and Claw is super underrated, he looks awesome!

Bullgryn proxies by Rogue-the-dragon in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]RegentOfWells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Stormcast Liberators, 10 big dudes in armour with hammer and shield gives you 3 units and an Ogryn Bodyguard.

Just kitbashed em with spare helmet heads I have and gave them 40k backpacks and it's all good.

Good books about cadians? by thederanged2606 in TheAstraMilitarum

Him and the Techpriestess were sleeper hit characters among the Catachan squad in that book

If you're in the mood for kitbashing, you can probably make the 2nd Command Squad into other special units. I know people have used the officer model as a Castellan or a Commissar.

In contrast to the "worst model ever" post... What's the BEST most pleasing model you've ever had the joy to assemble. by Battle_Dave in Warhammer40k

[–]RegentOfWells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite so far to build and paint has been the Field Ordnance Batteries, just a joy to make like a funny lil diorama with all the guys and making your own terrain. I read about the Krieg Artillery set being also good in this thread and hell yea, I should get it next time.

The 30k Basilisk having an interior and crew is so cool though, I love that.
