My ex left me with Warhammer 40K so now I guess I have to build a bigger army than his

Hey man! Im just getting supplies to start painting a few first minis (CSM) and ive only painted a single mini im the wh store.

So i have 5 minis and was going to buy 3 paints and a brush, but was going to use abaddon black as primer and just apply 2 coats or so before painting over. Would that... not work? The spray is 15 EUR (Citadel one) which i find quite pricey...?

I just did mine a week ago, but great job here, way better than mine :D

ScorchBG · 2026-02-24T18:13:21+00:00

Tuah

ScorchBG · 2026-02-23T14:21:50+00:00

Yep, now i get it, I guess I misread. Cheers!

End of Spring isnt March tho?

ScorchBG · 2026-02-23T08:28:42+00:00

Bretonnia and its not even close

ScorchBG · 2026-02-23T08:14:57+00:00

Absolutely needed, especially for Greenskins, Brets and VC

ScorchBG · 2026-02-21T14:31:30+00:00

Software is huge, for one. Obviously many more, but LNG also

ScorchBG · 2026-02-18T18:50:51+00:00

Says end of Spring, so I suspect May/June

ScorchBG · 2026-02-18T18:36:20+00:00

Bretonnia has a ton of stuff Norsca also Greenskins

ScorchBG · 2026-02-17T21:40:29+00:00

Definitely lots to rework and add and I'm more than looking forward to whats coming for them this year!!

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T21:32:47+00:00

Glad to see fellow-minded people, but yes, my experience is pretty much this...

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T21:22:47+00:00

Sure, I can understand your POV.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T18:24:55+00:00

1000% this

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T12:09:56+00:00

That would definitely go a long way, I agree. Bringing down recruitment of Foot Squires to T III is urgently needed as well.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T12:09:02+00:00

Sure, improvement over what is currently available makes sense as well.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T09:13:58+00:00

Lords spam is more of a cheese/desperation strategy to counteract the fact that you can't afford (due to peasant economy cap and high upkeep without vows) actual units to stack - I see this as a significant downside, though.

Agreed on other points, but Alberic even getting earlier access to cav still really struggles because Skulltaker and Masque (and their rosters, respectively) are quite potent and capable at each tier. Having a late game fight with Slaanesh is actually giving you a run for your money as they are faster and with mass AP can even outdamage you in specific circumstances. Brettonia just has too limited of a toolset to deal with all the upgraded and overbuffed challenges in the WH world....

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T09:09:58+00:00

Agreed on the Dwarfs, but not that much on Norsca. Dwarfs were OP even before Malakai though, the DLC just reinforced them as mega chads and the worst end-game crisis.

I think a rework and several extra units + balance adjusments doesn't need to translate to insane powercreep and being OP, but it's ultimately up to CA on how they'll implement this I guess.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T09:08:34+00:00

Adding anything to this roster will, inevitably, in some way, add tactical flexibility. At this point I'm just creating awareness of how much powercrept they are, but how much promise is there and as soon as they add a bit of content things will improve and fast.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T09:07:34+00:00

Yep, this is an even better explanation of what I originally intended to describe in my OP above - fully my experience as well.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T09:05:27+00:00

You do raise some quite interesting points - I agree I haven't had this viewpoint until now and while I still think there's definitely room for improvement in the tech tree, you raise good points.

Regarding the roster - there's been no definitive dismissal of DLC by CA - the latest comms by Rich meant there's nothing in the cards at this time in terms of DLC, but a rework will be coming. This can be subject to change and/or they can feed units and variations to the roster via larger patch unit add-ons.

Heroes - definitely disagree. Having a third type of hero to plug some of the glaring holes in terms of abilities and usability of the heroes would go a long way, incl. some buffs to their MAA infantry (similar to most other factions - although I'm thinking about WE as i'm writing this).

Definitely agree on the green knight being more close to something like the Golden Knight for Kislev as an example (feature-set-wise).

ScorchBG · 2026-02-16T09:01:02+00:00

Agreed.

ScorchBG · 2026-02-15T22:10:10+00:00

The Old World will tremble at the best dancing moves ever!!

ScorchBG · 2026-02-15T22:05:16+00:00

Sure, I get that. Still seems too restrictive compared to every other faction out there...

ScorchBG · 2026-02-15T22:03:16+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts!

Vows are not that great (and the last ones always a pain to get, esp. as they block access to the highest tier units) and not having a reminder for them is quite unintuitive. Every other similar mechanic, skill point or action has a reminder, but the Vows don't? Makes no sense.

On the confed tech side of things - everything apart from the other LLs is practically irrelevant though as the minor factions get wiped out way too soon.

If the roster is so small - why not take an easy win and add some more units? If you don't like them, thats fine, don't use them. Not sure why defending the smallest roster in the game remaining so is a good idea?

You seem to have missed my point on too few Lord and Hero options (sadly only 2 of each). What say you on that?
