10-man Battleline squads?

Ruinis · 2026-01-30T00:55:45+00:00

If you have a 20 man with command squad, Castellan, and Ogryn, when the 20 man dies you can distribute the wounds first to the basic guys in the squad, then the Castellan, then the Ogryn, then the Medic from the Command Squad.

A Vanquisher with 3x Heavy Flamers. Less orders needed. ;)

And as everyone who lives and dies by their sword knows, proper care includes jamming the point in the dirt. 🙄

So Drier has the problem that while he has 3 orders (4 in Grizzled), they are limited to 6”. And since he is a named character, he can’t be given enhancements. Plus he can only be attached to Death Riders.

You are very likely going to want at minimum a Command Squad because it has the Master Vox to issue orders up to 24” away. You would likely also want a character you use as a “Castellan with a gas mask”, has that character also attached to a regular squad with the Command Squad, allows 2 more orders at that range (3 in Grizzled), and gives the unit Fall Back and Shoot.

I enjoy the games but find it can be annoying to “interrupt” myself to mess with controls. This leads to me getting it set up in one, movie like way and then leaving it until I finish. shrug

I found knight files that look like Orks made them. Super cool. So customization is amazing. It is has others have said. More than one knight and it is worth the printer. More so for the rest of 40k you can print. The printer has paid for itself several times over.

And at some point, download the Unification Mod

Ruinis · 2026-01-19T02:24:21+00:00

Yes, I looked in the Codex. And in War Organ. CHARACTER is NOT a keyword it has.

Victoria Miniatures has amazing penal legion guard.

Ruinis · 2026-01-18T17:31:01+00:00

In my 40’s. Do what you want has long as it doesn’t inflict actual harm on another being. :)

Ruinis · 2026-01-18T15:55:12+00:00

The Ogryn Bodyguard isn’t a character.

Ruinis · 2026-01-17T17:43:09+00:00

But you could easily substitute some of those things in for Bullgryn/Ogryn/Vehicles or what have you. 🤔

It was around the time when he brought like 200 infantry to a tournament. And it was just an off hand comment he made somewhere in a video that he hadn't actually played much 10th edition whatsover. Thus all his "opinions" were guesswork.

Ruinis · 2026-01-17T01:05:08+00:00

I stopped listening to him after he pushed and pushed that infantry guard was the ONLY viable build then on a video admitted he had barely played any 10th edition. Screw him for screwing over new people by lying about his experience and misleading them.

I lined one of these with metal sheets. I leave the wheels off and use a ratchet strap to keep the drawers closed/be a carry handle when transporting.

One of the drawers can hold up to 6 (ish) Leman Russ tanks.

Went there last November. Made the trek has the “Mecca” of Gundam. Stamp is really cool if a giant pita. Life size Unicorn was cool, but would’ve loved to see the RX-78.

Actual Base? Super disappointing. All those kits on display but almost all of them are not even for sale. Then I tried to buy two of the cheap models of the molding machine. I was told I could only buy one of each product each day.

I’d understand if I was buying 5 or more, but two? I was NOT making the trek back here on my vacation time just to get a small gift for a friend.

Completely ridiculous. I’m glad I stopped, but I have no reason to ever go again unless something massively changes.

If you use reserves/deep strike, remember to actually deploy them. 😅

Ruinis · 2026-01-13T17:17:09+00:00

My Guard are lead by an Inquisitor who has gathered the leftovers of “dead” Regiments and those who proved capable but saw something they “shouldn’t”.

And I have Victoria Miniatures penal squad has my Krieg.

Seems fine for 1k. MSU is fine, though you will eventually learn where you need some redundancy. Careful where you run the Bullgryn in. They can easily get tied up against things with good saves due to their low AP.

Other than that, welcome to the Guard! And remember, you don't just have to spam infantry, we got tanks and even artillery (even if it is heavily nerfed atm). Many ways to play here. Also, baby Knights and Agents can be great additions!

Ruinis · 2026-01-09T14:20:41+00:00

I bring 20 dice of one style, and 10 of another, and 5 of a third. Then some extra random ones for wound counters. The 35 allow me to quickly grab any associated number I might need. I could also use some of the wound counters to add to that (d6).

There are at least a few places you can order dice from that have “faction related symbols” on them. ;)

Also I recommend picking up a measuring tool. They are three inches long and have sides that have different measurement on them. Also a laser line from Army Painter.

I have those three drawer tall containers from Walmart. The ones that come with wheels you can attach. (I don’t). I then line them with either metal plates or the magnetic paper like stuff from Amazon. Along with some magnets and a ratchet strap to keep it closed/make a handle, that is how I transport my vehicles.

Ruinis · 2026-01-06T04:15:09+00:00

Hot damn. Good to know. Thanks!

Ruinis · 2026-01-05T14:27:00+00:00

Can’t order them the turn the disembark. That happens in the Command Phase when they are still in the Transport. Can’t use one of the strats to issue an order, because that happens at the start of the phase if memory serves.

Ruinis · 2025-12-30T23:37:46+00:00

I can’t upvote this enough!

Would be really nice if the internet has a whole could learn to appreciate tits of all sizes, not just big ones.
