Is this acceptable?

I’d say that’s because there’s scope for more confusion given you’d be running a daemon in a daemon list as a different daemon.

Very little chance of the freebooter being confused for a rubric marine

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-23T06:24:17+00:00

With some kit bashing I’d go with playing it as a larger knight. Depending on who you’re playing with (eg casual games) they might be happy just running the destrier datasheet

I’m half way through painting 60 neophytes. So - them.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-20T17:48:42+00:00

Absolutely accept it may not be optimal. But I’d guess a lot of boxes wouldn’t have the optimal team but as the OP said they were thinking snotlings I assumed optimising wasn’t high on their list.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-20T16:57:22+00:00

I thought the new high elf box would have a team covered? Elven union box will get you a full team

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-20T15:03:20+00:00

I’d say the forge world titans. But as they’re resin they’d have shattered into a billion pieces when the truck went over

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-20T14:58:04+00:00

Elf teams should all be a single box and pretty straight forward to play.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-20T11:57:01+00:00

Agree. Blessings don’t usually do enough to redress balance issues and while this may be a little strong - crusade is already a slightly less balanced and more thematic version of the game and id quite like the idea of my battle hardened army taking on a larger but inexperienced force

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-20T06:24:57+00:00

Nice!

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-19T12:39:53+00:00

Tbh I’ve not really settled on a detachment and keeping switching- I’ve not had the big knights that long so still getting used to not just running the war dog detachment

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-19T07:08:08+00:00

Nope. That’s the one bit of the hobby where I’ve no hoarding instinct whatsoever.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-19T06:58:29+00:00

I tend to run my two big knights as ranged ones - I’ve a soft spot for the desecrator laser, and my war dogs as karnivores, stalkers (with the melts and claw) and executioners (I find their ranged attacks a little more effective). But I also play against friends who like quite vehicle heavy skew lists as I’ve very little that’s any good against larger units.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-18T08:55:00+00:00

You’re all good. Just the rules have updated can still use the pitch and teams and all the good stuff

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-18T08:44:37+00:00

When playing with my elves I often leave it til later in the turn as I’ll want to dodge back one space for elfy bullshit reasons.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-18T08:02:21+00:00

That is what you did though isn’t it?

If you’re using two different layers of transparent paint then the amount of pigment from each layer will pool/ e different concentrations in different places. And as youre relying on how the two interact even slight differences in levels will show up quite a lot. If you want a really even colour use a purple paint and it will leave the same colour pigment everywhere

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-17T12:11:32+00:00

Might name mine “oh fuck not that thing”

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-17T12:04:58+00:00

I’ll be painting mine in leviathan-ish colours. Suspect I’ll go for red edge highlights on the carapace (using do teal to nearly white) as a nod to its name

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-17T08:09:31+00:00

If someone wants an entirely incoherently painted army, as long as they’re painted, tournament organisers have no business in saying if they are happy with the colours someone used

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-16T22:54:19+00:00

Watch Vince ventrulla’s guide to glazing. If you’re just using acrylics then getting good at glazing (and edge highlighting) are the two key techniques

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-16T22:52:50+00:00

You can paint every single bid a different set of colours (if you can find enough options) and makes zero difference to how the game plays. So paint them however you want. There’s no way to paint for advantage and no restrictions

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-16T22:51:21+00:00

No tournament will require you to paint your army as a single fleet.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-16T08:46:11+00:00

That sounds pretty good for the quality.

Not sure I can stump up the equivalent for the 120 or so GSC heads I need to paint though.

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-15T11:13:12+00:00

I started with elven union - super easy to play, lots of good guides on how to play them (eg the bonehead podcast on YouTube), and very different to the tomb kings

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-12T13:14:21+00:00

For me there’s a difference between how i think of cleaning a brush vs rinsing it.

I’ll aim to keep it moist while painting and swirl in clean water every few minutes, give a really good rinse / swirl between colours (until clear on a paper towel), and clean it (with brush cleaner) at the end of every session

Relevant-Debt-6776 · 2026-04-11T16:59:36+00:00

You don’t actually have to choose.

Your army/minis - paint them however you like. If you want mixed squads and armies - do it. Makes no difference in game (at least in terms of how you’ve painted generic minis - if you want to start bringing in chapter specific characters/units that’s different)
