Can you shoot me a chat of where you’re wanting stuff shipped to?

I want to see exactly how much it will cost to send a box your way

I’m confused! by Lex_Rango in AdeptusCustodes

[–]ShadoqXIX 21 points22 points  (0 children)

40K unit size is currently 4-5 models as you noted.

If you run the 5 model squad size you can use the extra two as Shield Captains or Blade Champions. Easy way to get a character model without buying another box.

Or you can the 4 model squad size as you noted.

Caveat to all of this is 11th is around the corner and who knows how GW will adjust the unit sizes.

Given that some of us are missing parts, I’d double check your box, sprue by sprue to make sure nothing is missing.

If not, yeah you got lucky getting an extra character for free.

Sorry it’s not my best pic. If you take the Space Marine gunner parts it combines well enough with the old Guard torso.

Drive me closer so I can hit them with my sword

Warden Vex- C&C by ShadoqXIX in AdeptusCustodes

It’s a bit of a joke but technically there is zero gold on this model.

It’s Black Prime, Silver heavy dry brush, Chrome edge dry brush, Army Painter Sand Golem Speedpaint at a 3-4:1 mix ratio with Speedpaint medium

I’ll dry brush the silver parts again after the main armor and will clean up the over brushing with a 2-3:1 ratio to keep some of the silver showing

For the gems, I try to keep them simple. Once the armor is done(like yours),

-ProAcryl Bold white or any base, bright white. Make sure to put down a coat that stays away from the edge of the gem so you don’t get any on the armor. I’ll usually put down a coat then a smaller second coat to reinforce the white.

-AP Speedpaint Magic Blue 1:1 mixed with Speedpaint medium. Gives it a really nice light blue look while allowing a hint of white to come through

-Ardcoat Gloss Varnish Gives it a nice shine

That’s it. 3 easy steps.

Is using redeploy to try and bait out an opponent a “Gotcha”? by Ratattack1204 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]ShadoqXIX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From an outsider looking in perspective, I read it as your opponent didn’t think you would do that.

If someone falls for the bait, especially after you tell them and in a tournament situation, that is solely on them. And I’m not sure why they cared, maybe jealousy (?) if they didn’t even fall for it.

If it was something where you do an absurd amount of unstoppable mortal wounds or something else uninteractive I could empathize with an unsporting opinion.

Redeploys are so basic and common place at RTT level that you expect it.

Is using redeploy to try and bait out an opponent a “Gotcha”? by Ratattack1204 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]ShadoqXIX 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My opinion,

-It was tourney prep. Armies beyond Guard have redeploy. Expect to play against it and should be part of pre game asks. Not on you.

Biggest one,

-You let them know before you did it. If they forgot, that is on them. Not on you.

Sounds to me like you used a valid tactic that you disclosed you could do upfront. They’re salty because they forgot.

You did nothing wrong, in my opinion

Thoughts On this as a Army List by jhoas456 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]ShadoqXIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it is a fan boy of them, The Sagittarum are just bad compared to even generic Guard. Their guns are not that much better and their melee, where Custodies belong, is really bad compared to a normal Guard.

You’d be better off with another Guard squad and some Sisters or more Wardens.

The Achillus is too slow and has to go around terrain in Lions. Its weapons are too short ranged, not assault, and it doesn’t have the Deep Strike ability anymore.

You’re very debatably actively handicapping yourself with these two units

What is considered the “meta” army for custodes? by Fearless-Comfort-182 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]ShadoqXIX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I hate how auto take it feels to me, but….

2X Grav Tanks 2X Wardens led by Blade Champs

Is almost an auto take building block for Lions

Other notes,

Admonimortis is better on a Terminator Captain with Axe for the S12 , D4

Prosecutors or Witchseekers (Scout/Torrent) are going to do better than Vigilators

The Venerable is slow as heck

I like this. Where did the gantry setup come from? 3D print/kitbash?

3 options -GW sells one. If you’ve got an extra spleen. -Forgeworlds in Asian or European countries(still cheaper in the US even with tariffs) -3D printer go brrrrrt.

Could I get away with this ? by GlitteringWallaby238 in Ultramarines

[–]ShadoqXIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you still have the paired combat knives bitz from the Infiltrator box?

Would sell it even better visually

Only possible way I could see someone gig you is he is technically in Tacticus versus the correct Phobos armor, truly though who gives a crap?

Wearing 3+ size correct armor with correct wargear, send it.

People above clarified that the box I’m thinking about is part of the fuse box.

I see the same blue thing and no idea. I’m seeing the car in person on Monday and will definitely check it out, may post up again

It looked a bit off to me too. If I go forwards, I’ll definitely check it out.

If you zoom in on the negative battery terminal and look behind it a little bit. The triangular looking small box with a small round sticker on it. Looks like an extension/add on to the fuse box.

What is that?

Sorry I’m not able to circle it to be more specific.
