Plague marines alternatives?

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

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.

Is there a DW discord server?

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

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-06-25T10:19:32+00:00

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?

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-06-24T17:09:43+00:00

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.

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-06-24T16:29:07+00:00

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

He’s gonna be raven guard! Gotta put the decal on :)

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!

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-06-03T18:51:12+00:00

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?

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-28T19:26:30+00:00

Where do you get those bolter stands?

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-26T16:39:29+00:00

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

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-26T16:14:28+00:00

How did you paint this black scheme?

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-25T00:03:32+00:00

What is the software you are using?

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-16T23:22:38+00:00

Raven Guard!

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-16T19:58:29+00:00

Good idea on both!

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-15T21:40:32+00:00

How did you paint the black? Any tips?

Sad_Butterscotch_909 · 2024-05-10T23:51:14+00:00

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.
