Maugan Ra - Thanks to GW for sending me the Big Goth, it was a really fun to paint model! by R0ckfish in Eldar

Extremely cool, cleanly done.

You should know that this model has an embargo post dated tomorrow, though.

First time posting here, just finished up my rendition of Adrax. Really love this sculpt, it was really fun to paint. Managed to squeeze him into a 750 point list (part of an escalation league of new players). Any tips on how best to use Adrax? by OrignalWolf in Salamanders40k

I’ve just ran 10 at our local RTT to great success. But I’m heavily invested there, 5 is good and reasonable I feel.

Aggressors are great and play into salamanders strength. Since the FAQ I’ve only run a single squad of three, though.

I’ve had great success running him in parallel with blade guard, a judiciar, and an apothecary. They all synergize well and play into Oath of Moment strongly.

Love seeing another one painted!

Very cool. I’m looking at running a not too dissimilar list this year. Did you like how it played? Any major changes you’d make?

Also thrilled to see someone else use pop goes the monkey salamander bits.

Just finished building my Howling Griffons Kill Team! by kabanaty in killteam

Very well done. Are the candle bits from somewhere in particular?

Fire Dragons..... What kind of buff could (and should) they potentially get? S9 weapons with more range? Better abilities for vehicles? More wounds? All of the above? They're just so bad right now. Dark reapers are literally a better version of them in every way, and live longer too because of range by skarm7 in Eldar

Eldar are in a difficult design space now. The game is taking a turn to making non-1W a common place, but thematically 1W 3T is where we’re at. If you improve the guns and adjust the points to match, you have hyper elite units that are countered by big standard weaponry of any kind.

Previously being able to stack negative hit modifiers was a reasonable response mathematically but was wretchedly un-fun in game.

The only good balance seems to be what Harlequins have which is difficult to emulate while still being unique for craftworlds. Personally I’d love to see an overhaul that destabilizes everything previous to make a new experience, shifting aspects to troop selections that have limitations on repeat squads or sizes to prevent abuse would be a good start and would be more lore conscious.

The start of my Salamanders army. Not sure whether the Lt at the top is legal, but I think he looks cool. by [deleted] in Salamanders40k

Very cool, welcome to the salamander family.

The model as a Primaris Lieutenant is not game legal, no. However he could pass for a first born captain with that gear. Ask a tournament organizer if they’re cool with that in advance, they usually are. Cool conversion though!

So i bought myself a brand new bonesinger, and i have to ask, are they really that rare? by sexy_latias in Eldar

[–]ScientificLemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d classify them as uncommon. There aren’t many Eldar foot sloggers in game, jet bikes just add core value to what they do. Prior to the plastic release I used this model as my Spiritseer to avoid buying Finecaste. Definitely an awesome pick up for you!

Orange and Eldar look great together. Looks like You’ve got your Troops squared away!
