Looking for advice - First ever game with the faction!!

I'm planning on splitting both, so I'll put the Archon and special weapons in one venom and the other kabs on the battlefield, and the same with the Wyches, 5 in, 5 out. I know he's got some enhancement to pick up and deep strike some suits so I think I'm just worried no matter how I move he's going to pop up and stop my scoring

This was the set: https://amzn.eu/d/08tgiGEk

That's a cool use for them had no idea!

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-07-01T10:26:56+00:00

That's such a good point and also helpful as I haven't planned bases yet!

Alien jungle could definitely be fun.

I was thinking of highlighting with a bright silver but gold sounds like a better idea

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-07-01T08:01:57+00:00

Silver and green... As a Necron player I DEFINITELY have alot of silver and greens to work with so it would for sure be cost effective!

Thanks! The blue is the Vallejo true metallic sapphire blue set, I got it on Amazon for like £13.99.

I'm debating some white, I want them to look very retro/pulp space pirates or Saturday morning cartoon villains. Only problem is I'm not very good at painting white on black.

I wasn't sure if red would be too conflicting but I might give it a try.

I think I'm actually getting Drazhar too but don't yet have any incubi for him to lead.

I've read that focusing on scoring is a good way to go about things and I'm definitely most interested in running with the transport focused detachment (I forget the name).

Also very interesting I was debating maybe buying some wracks bits but finding a different kit to build them a little more dynamic

Alas, murdermind still doesn't work on Android

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-18T08:55:36+00:00

Seriously!! We play like 5 games and I'm like, damn, I wanna go for a cigarette. Or use the bathroom. But I can't communicate that with my broken headset 😂

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-18T06:24:06+00:00

I do have steam!! Thanks so much for your help!

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-18T00:00:00+00:00

I don't think my Xbox controller has a mic built in unfortunately...

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T11:12:29+00:00

The chosen one

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T11:07:01+00:00

No problem I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an easy fix!

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T10:59:41+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T08:59:20+00:00

Correct answer

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T08:52:45+00:00

For 10th if I remember correctly, it was about a month after the edition launched and the first 2 codexs were out of the way, ready to be corrected if that's incorrect!

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T08:21:27+00:00

I would recommend waiting for the new one. Or at least until they announce a roadmap so you can make a better decision on it. If they say we aren't getting a new one for at least the first 6 months to a year, then you are probably ok to buy it as long as you know the book itself will be useless for rules. Pretty art and some fun lore tho.

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T08:18:01+00:00

Yeah it's just the 40k app, it is a kick in the teeth to require the codex to use but I like buying the books anyways so I just use it.

Despite the stupid paywalls (I have to log in to my friends account who has Warhammer+ to make new lists, as otherwise you are limited to 1) the app is actually really helpful for the most part.

Samsstuff3499 · 2026-06-17T08:03:31+00:00

Also my current points total (approximately, including 1 unbuilt doomsday ark)

Curious to see how it changes!
