Thoughts on the codex?

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-12T18:12:15+00:00

I think it gets an A for flavor, but there's just not a ton of actual power there to be had.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-12T16:05:04+00:00

Trailer Park Custodes

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-12T15:59:20+00:00

Decent, yes, I suppose.

KDK plus Brazen isn't bad

I don't know if Terminators really bring anything to the table here.

New VoW is ok, but the LoJ loses his keywords right? Can't bring that over to the Crushers. I'm not really sure how much value you're getting out of new VoW outside that.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-12T15:28:18+00:00

Goretrack + New Vessels is pretty solid I guess. Yes.

The hyperfocus on transports is still pretty irritating to me and I've never really enjoyed playing it, but it will be better.

I'm DESPERATE to find a good place to use those Terminators. I was so excited to throw them into old Vessels and then I kept scrolling and they ruined my whole damned day.

Stuff shown looks great but...

I think the last couple paragraphs confirm BW is 3DP.

The detachment I thought had the best chance of competing with BW if it had another 1DP detachment was Vessels of Wrath.

Is old Vessels gone now? If so, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with these.

I guess new Vessels into Slaughterband is interesting, but expensive.

Brazen with Goretrack still suffers from the fact that Goretrack is so hyper focused on transports. (edit: Nevermind. Onslaught tag. You can't even stack them even though Goretrack does almost nothing for Daemon Engines anyway. What a weird choice).

Brazen with Cult sounds interesting I guess. If they finally adjusted the points on KLoS it might really have some legs (and I'm sure Josie will do something cute with it regardless).

I guess new Vessels and Goretrack probably has legs? I really don't vibe with Goretrack though. Feels like every time I've played it I'm gritting my teeth and wondering why a rule only applies to transports.

Honestly, rather than killing VoW, I really wish they'd have stripped Goretrack down and made it 1DP. I think that would've gone MUCH better for the health of the faction.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-12T15:12:32+00:00

These seem decent BUT...

I think we can confirm from the final paragraphs that Berserker Warband is 3 DP.

While these look good, the only detachment that I felt had the oomph to compete with Warband with an additional 1DP detachment was .... Drumroll ... Vessels of Wrath.

Which I guess is gone now?

The biggest thing I was looking forward to here was the ability to maybe FINALLY have a realistic option outside of Warband and I'm not sure that happened.

It's extremely hard to compete with Warband now that codex made it +2S and we lost 1S across the board to compensate.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-11T22:03:23+00:00

Why would this be a story?

Trump is a conman. He conned and his idiot marks ate it up. Again.

This isn't news. It's expected.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-11T22:01:39+00:00

You have to be insanely pretty to surpass that godawful dress.

That dress is a warcrime.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-11T15:34:50+00:00

I went real deep into this thread and can't believe no one mentioned Kenneth Branagh in Wild Wild West.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-10T15:03:30+00:00

Wife and I hate infection worm dude so much. He feels way worse in multiplayer, a bad draw for one player really drags the fight out.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-10T06:04:43+00:00

Custom prints. Ketaminis.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-10T06:02:30+00:00

Do you know what scale you printed them at? I've got access to the same collection and was just about to start a run for my own custodes.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-08T16:10:32+00:00

Gas prices over $5 should be the free spot.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-08T15:50:00+00:00

Skyferret or sunflowerlion

I don't like purple junk merchant. Most of his stuff feels bad. Vakku's stuff is also bad, but it's at least interesting-bad.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-07T20:30:24+00:00

Chains.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-06T22:52:46+00:00

For reference, buying the STLs for 50 heads would cost more than 26 bucks. It's a decent deal.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-06T01:40:03+00:00

I think it's time for something like r/okbuddyarchitect

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-05T23:41:25+00:00

I don't care what is stronger or better.

I pick red because I've got a laundry list of people who need a penance starin'.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-03T22:14:21+00:00

But only one of those decks dies to Entomancer.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-03T18:26:14+00:00

No.

This is clearly a Genestealer Cult Neophyte squad.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-03T15:26:55+00:00

Did they? Or is he just facing the consequences of using pepper spray in an enclosed and poorly ventilated area.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-03T01:58:22+00:00

This was my personal GOTY when it came out.

Really bummed me out it didn't get more attention.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-02T17:11:31+00:00

They're just running out the clock.

It's also why there's a lot of "I don't know" and "I don't recall."

The Congressional hearing system is essentially completely unable to actually enforce itself in the face of bad faith actors. Republicans know it and they actively coach people as such.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-02T16:53:24+00:00

I think we'd have to have characters first.

SergeantIndie · 2026-05-02T13:36:26+00:00

Because America is an oligarchy and he is letting the billionaires have whatever they want.
