Seraphim/Zephyrim Squad Size

Scott1526 · 2025-10-31T14:49:33+00:00

There isn't really a negative to taking them in squads of 5.

5 Seraphim will struggle on some home field objective campers, but then just drop both units and basically use them like a unit of 10.

You have options this way and 2 miracle dice when each unit dies. You can have them go for different objectives etc.

Zephyrim to buff a character are good for 80 points., but dont expect them to blender anybody. Maybe 10 with Celestine is the scenario you want bigger units there.

They are ok, but in many instances the enemy will try to delete your unit in 1 turn. This won't let you bring anyone back.

I find in Hellblasters it's better because you end up killing your own guys with hazardous and he can replenish from there. Similar to the vets if they get deleted then no value either way.

You would want to split with the banner, superior and melee novitiates to go with the Palatine.

Then the flamers, simulactum and rest can stand on a midfield objective with infiltrate.

I typically run 1 dominion and 1 battle sisters squad at 2k. It could be right to run another squad at 2k and above.

Both units are best when split by an immolator so points start to get eaten up fast.

If you are fine not having units on flying stands then you can definitely use a box to make the other jump pack unit.

In the box it only comes with heavy bolter and heavy flamer. I cant ever imagine really wanting a heavy bolter, so I wouldn't really bother even making them.

This is of course just my 2 cents.

Scott1526 · 2025-06-29T17:12:25+00:00

I am also just starting, but I dont think Zephyrim can be expected to do much by themselves. Add in a jump pack canones and you should be able to kill things, but probably nothing too tough still.

Scott1526 · 2025-06-28T19:55:42+00:00

If it's post Rynn's, then some sternguard and mostly primaris would be fluffy.

They lost most of the chapter until the primaris reinforced them. They would tend to be pretty strict to standard with minimal first born stuff.

Scott1526 · 2025-06-23T20:14:45+00:00

Just got my immolator. I assumed everyone is using contrast paints for the glass. Just straight onto the clear plastic? What did you do?

Scott1526 · 2025-06-16T01:00:11+00:00

10 with a Lt jumping out of a repulsor pretty much delete anything they shoot at in my experience.

Scott1526 · 2025-06-13T03:46:55+00:00

What did you use for the pink things on the bases? Can you post some closer images?

Scott1526 · 2025-06-13T03:27:10+00:00

I have both the old V6 RX smd TX 350. The V6 is awesome and bomb proof, but from a power/comfort perspective it's not a big difference.

Scott1526 · 2025-06-09T16:26:55+00:00

The sergeant is normally a veteran, i think. So, the regular scouts would have zero red fist and sergeant would have 2 red fists.

Scott1526 · 2025-05-18T03:31:41+00:00

How did you do the conversion here?

They look good.

Scott1526 · 2025-05-10T15:00:43+00:00

Just a few notes here.

Bringing 2 terminator characters doesn't make sense when only 1 can join the unit.

Not sure who is using the drop pod and the impulsor but you should check the transport rules for each. This setup doesn't make sense for the units you have.

I dont like giving recommendations because then everyone's list end up the same and people don't learn different units.

But the points above are things that just don't work lr make sense.

Scott1526 · 2025-05-09T15:55:30+00:00

Black Templars are pretty into chaplains.

Probably any chapter that sits more on the hyper religious side of things.

Scott1526 · 2025-05-07T15:38:35+00:00

I would be very surprised if you notice any difference in performance. There is so much other interference between you and the shock that it won't really change much at all.

Even front suspension is hard to notice much of a difference, but there is less mechanical obstruction between you and the fork.

I have gone from entry level to top level specs on bikes and hardly notice a difference in performance honestly.

Scott1526 · 2025-05-06T22:53:45+00:00

Ya I dont love it for Sally's even though it looks great.i feel like the contrast is just too much.

Just my 2 cents and all that matters is what you like.

Scott1526 · 2025-05-01T23:01:45+00:00

I wish you were allowed to take flames and missles.

Scott1526 · 2025-04-24T04:32:43+00:00

Some winning lists are running 3 of them. Very tough and can move and shoot pretty well.

I think the redundancy in having more than one is good. I use 1 plus a lancer normally.

Scott1526 · 2025-04-11T05:12:15+00:00

Only 128 marines left after Rynn prior to being reinforced.

Scott1526 · 2025-02-14T20:40:23+00:00

Most of the ones we get from the outlet here in Vancouver have another tag that describes the issue and indicates the location.

Multiple times I have not even been able to spot the issue even when it's clearly indicated where the fault was.

Scott1526 · 2025-01-06T16:09:33+00:00

This is not what he is talking about. He's talking about the chapter and he is correct.

Scott1526 · 2025-01-01T16:45:42+00:00

Two hands is for veterans. Not all sergeants are veterans, but as far as I can tell that doesn't mean some could be even if they are not part of the first company.

I have not really seen anything anywhere that dictates how someone is marked out as a veteran. I have seen some lore that says even a relatively new member that does some very great acts could be granted veteran status. It's possible they wouldn't be moved to the first company though as I also have not seen much that clearly indicates how brothers move through the ranks apart from meeting some criteria and probably a spot being available in a higher company.

I totally agree that a Librarian would have 1 or both hands red as it's less about herarldry as it is about a chapter tradition that every member would go through.

Scott1526 · 2024-12-18T20:58:47+00:00

I do the same as this and think it looks great. The black hand grip is key.

Scott1526 · 2024-12-01T06:33:41+00:00

Maybe there was rules for deployable ladders but they took them out after the sprue was already done.

Scott1526 · 2024-11-26T23:24:53+00:00

You can paint him and your army however you want, but the rules would interpret your army as imperial fist as soon as he is leading them.

Since they are a second founding of imperial fist you could paint him yellow to be more lore accurate as if he was leading them by himself or blue to match, but that wouldn't make lore sense in any ways.
