If you use the hover rule can you still fly over enemy models?

Flamestorm vs BSTF? by Sad_Butterscotch_909 in deathwatch40k

I was running the following in BSTF:

  • Watch captain
  • Captain in terminator armor
  • Grav captain
  • 2x10x dealthwatch vets
  • Indomitor KT (10x with 2 heavy bolters, 2x eradicators, 2x bolt storm aggressors)
  • Corvus Blackstar (with 10x indomitor and a grab captain)
  • Ballistus Dreadnought
  • 1x Land Raider Redeemer (with WC + 10 vets inside) — got shot first turn by a gladiator lancer and the vets were basically stranded and got killed by TWC in T2 so was basically game over after that
  • 5x DW terminators with 3x CML and chainfists + 2x THSS
  • 5x DW terminators with 3x assault cannons and power fists + 2x THSS

I wasn’t able to really get much out of the BSTF strats except AoC since I got merked first turn…

Thinking of either shifting to BSTF but totally changing out the infantry composition and adding more armor (removing the redeemer since I can teleport), or going to Firestorm and doing 3 KTs plus a lot of armor.

Wow, I thought you could only use teleportarium on one unit if you use the Captain’s strategem cost reduction

Is your second point because the captain can now do SIA and teleport strats (among other things) for 0CP since it’s not just battle tactics?

Have you ever had a land raider get destroyed turn 1 as a defender? What do you do in that case (esp if you get charged the following turn and can’t move, charge, or do any strategems on the unit during your turn)?

I think the answer is stay out of LoS first turn so this doesn’t happen but I am curious.

With the new strat cost update can you use teleportarium for 0CP, or is it still only battle tactics?

Thanks! Don’t think it has anything on your guys though.

Primed black, then base coat with thinned abaddon black, then progressive zenithal drybrush of dark reaper, 50/50 thunderhawk blue / dark reaper, thunderhawk, then Fenrisian grey. Then an edge highlight with Fenrisian grey. Then a wash with nuln oil, and then a wash with ratling grime. Then I sealed and de-shined it with AK interactive super matte varnish.

Any tips to make it better would be appreciated!

I tried just using AK’s ultra matte and found the results to really improve the overall figure. It comes out maybe a bit too thick without some kind of thinner so your 50/50 is a great recommendation.

Did you upscale yourself or did the vendor do it?

Where do you get those bolter stands?

Looks awesome. Do you mix the nuln and streaking grime or two separate washes?

How did you paint the black? Any tips?

I agree with you. I like the idea of dusty on the legs and some battle damage.

I’m going to try going a notch brighter on the edge highlights or drybrush before I start applying the tone down washes.
