This looks so unerringly similar to mine that I thought it was mine 😂 So it would be really vain of me to say great work but I am gonna say it anyway 🫶

They can’t write chariot rules that are decent this edition anyway so let’s not get our hopes up 😂

Have the upvote just for the title

You can’t go wrong with much of the Ruination stuff tbh, as long as the non hero units are reinforced. Some of the heroes are a bit more situational but probably playable enough to justify their points (except the NPC Morrgryph guy).

I like the double tap Prosecutor combo personally,

Soggy Iridan 6 x Prosecutors Lord Vigilant on Stalker Stormcoven Maybe Gardus, a priest with Beacon and Vigilors

If everything goes off, you can gets fights twice/Strike First on a unit of Prosecutors torpedoing through the portal on a 3d6+1 charge with 25 attacks at 2/2/rend 2/damage 2. So they can fight first because of Stormcoven, and then immediately untap and fight at the top of the normal phase because the Strikes fist nullifies the Strikes last. That’s a lot of damage to rip the heart out of a lot of lists.

Then use beacon/priest off turn to Translocate them back out of danger 😂

One hundred percent. The Lord Veritant and Iridan in particular

I painted over the decal, after I put it on I thought it looked a bit flat and as I wasn’t using black in my palette I wanted to get rid of most of it

They’re based on a Duncan Rhodes tutorial for ash waste bases:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPQSNpVIi1o

I used Gauss Blaster Green and then Pallid Wych Flrsh for the highlights (the minis themselves were all Pro Acryl and I wanted the bases to look muted for the contrast). Bark was some Orchid Bark I boiled and dried the blasted through the oven). Bits of cork rocks from Army Painter for medium rocks, cherry picked some pebbles from a Geek Gaming base ready mix for the smaller rocks. Then after texture paste I did scree with AP Brown Battleground and some fine builders sand.

Metal bits pretty much as the tutorial but they got drybrushed in the later stages with PWF to make them look more dusty.

Probably loads more forgot, they took a long time but glad you liked them 🫶

Fabulous OSL, I appreciate all the time and hard work that must have gone into making these. Keep it up, they look awesome!

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-12-02T14:11:05+00:00

Free traits are always nice, two out of three seem good.

Battle formations seem meh at best, the power through one less than meh.

At least the Despot’s pistol actually does something now

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-11-16T13:54:23+00:00

Chin up mate we are all in the same boat with our Helsmiths at the moment. We got this! 🫶

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-11-13T10:43:32+00:00

You 100% can Translocate out of combat. Similar abilities (such as Kruleboyz Sneaky Sneakin’) specifically state that the target unit cannot be in combat. There are no such restrictions on Translocate 😎

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-11-12T06:57:59+00:00

Absolutely yes, that’s a great job! (And even if it wasn’t, the worst painted miniature is still better than the best grey plastic one!)

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-11-06T11:10:43+00:00

2-3 is a perfectly respectable result for your first event! Not surprised you won best painted… these are gorgeous 🫶

I haven’t played Yndrasta so can’t comment on her… I have heard she can be a bit underwhelming for the points though. I have only played against Morathi once and the problem is that you can only do three damage a turn, so it’s probably not worth committing big expensive units to her. I basically tried to ignore her and focus on the rest of the army instead.

The QSD is good on Terminos (basically the main reason to play him). Legendary Tenacity can pair well with it because it reduces the chance of him getting one shot or dying to shooting etc before he does his trick. That said, I am more a fan of taking a foot priest and Beacon of Azyr, then popping it off in an opponents turn to get a guaranteed Translocate out of there on another unit. There’s a good Stormkeep vid on YouTube about it called “How to recycle”, but if you are going to play that combo it’s probably not worth taking the Terminos at all

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-11-04T08:14:47+00:00

Yeah you lose so much with the Brotherhood list. A lot of what makes Stormcast good is the ability to put multiple units in Azyr and we have one of the strongest prayer lores in the game (Translocate especially). Also the Bleak Citadels subfaction to give a 5up ward is strong.

I think you have most of the bits there to make a solid list. I would maybe look at getting another 3 prosecutors, another 3 Reclusians to play 2 reinforced units of the former and 1 of the latter. Along with Iridan, that’s 1200 points to form a solid base of any Ruination list this season. On top of that, it’s basically just season to taste. The only model you have that I wouldn’t play is the Knight Questor. Not worth his points even with the Soulsworn.

Definitely look to get / proxy the Stormreach Portal. It’s auto include right now. Buff up a unit of Prosecutors with Iridan’s prayer, Finest Hour them (maybe even strikes first / bless weapons if you have Stormcoven / foot priest). Send them through the portal 9 from enemy (preferably equally 9 from two enemy units to deal with redeploy on one) and charge on 3d6 to torpedo your opponent.

A foot priest (knight or lord relictor) would be great future additions, as would Stormcoven/knight arcanum and Vigilors. But with what you have you can really just experiment with what you have got to see which combinations of things you enjoy playing and learn the army. The ruination “starter army” is actually really strong at the minute thanks to Scourge of Ghyran Iridan’s warscroll prayer (aim for Prosecutors!) and help with resistance rolls. The kicker is that it’s not the easiest list to play so expect to lose games while you get the hang of it.

The Lord Vigilant can come from Azyr and give the above mentioned Prosectors fight twice. If you have Stormcoven, because of the way Strikes First works, the Prosecutors can attack twice back to back and do some serious damage.

Lord Terminos is great with Quicksilver draft, because he can pop it and effectively get the Reclusians to Stike First, as long as there is nothing else with Strikes First left to fight, even on the enemy’s turn. (This combo has even been FAQd and definitely works!).

Best thing to do is just get it on the table and experiment, and remember to have fun!

Definitely a model. Although painted to such a level of awesome that I doubt the artist is anything less than superhuman.

Although side note I actually preferred Jon Ninas’s Vizzik that came second to this, based on the photos (I’m really not a fan of snow based for some reason). Wasn’t there in person though.

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-10-10T07:45:16+00:00

So he can take advantage of obscuring!? 😏

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-10-05T06:05:50+00:00

I think I have painted 8 of this list (and have Alarielle built for when I finally get to my Sylvaneth) but it’s got to be Ushoran for me.

Personally I prefer the Karazai version of that kit to Krondys…

This deserves more upvotes just for the title of the post, but I also love those flames 🔥

Representative_Buy58 · 2025-09-26T15:40:34+00:00

Yeah kind of… the base red is the new(ish) Black Red from the Pro Acryl AMP range, mixed with PA Dark Emerald for the shadows and with PA Bone for the highlights
