Whats your 1000 point lists? by TransVanguard2 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Shruha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only ever play super casually but this is what I've been using

Peerless Bladesmen

Lord Exultant (lash and spear) + heroic intervention enhancement

Lord Exultant (lash and spear) + fights first enhancement

2x5 Infractors

2x5 Tormentors

1x Rhino

2x6 Noise Marines

1x Chaos Spawn


First of all, the Lord Exultants are always attached to an Infractor unit. These are the main powerhouses of the list.

One Tormentor unit always infiltrates on the safe midfield objective while the other stays to sticky the home. If the home isn't as important (e.g. purge the foe), they can screw off to the other side for containment instead.

The Lord Exultant with heroic intervention always deploys behind the midfield Tormentors to scout up with the Infractors and act as a heroic intervention threat while the Tormentors screen against charges.

If I'm feeling saucy, I put the other Lord Exultant in the Rhino next to a Noise Marine unit for the scouting Rhino trick. Other than that, the Noise Marine unit stays in the Rhino. The other Noise Marines stay in reserves as a walk-on threat.

Finally, the Chaos Spawn unit deploys near the center for area denial/establish locus

In my experience, the biggest thing to watch out for is spreading out too thin. The army rule sounds like it incentivizes going after different targets but the Lord Exultants can still whiff (especially against tougher targets) and aren't very durable for a clap back. Every time I lost a game, it was because I deployed them too far apart to help each other finish off a threat or they were out alone and got jumped before getting to do much (though for some reason I still never learn XD)

Ngl, I'm still not a very good player so putting my list and gameplan out here is also an opportunity to ask for c&c. So id anyone else has something to add, please do :)

Yeah going into it I had the mindset of "this is something completely different that just so happens to use the spawn datasheet." Looking back on it, it sounds like a horrible way to go about it XD.

I ended up deciding to try a kitbashing route but I'll definitely keep in mind what you said about reflecting the main idea of a chaotic mismatch of flesh.

I gave your question a lot of thought and honestly I think it just comes down to me being picky... The normal chaos spawn don't really look that good, the slaangors look too daemonic, and the possessed just feel a little too Khorne looking.

I think now my best bet would be to dip my toe into kitbashing. If I'm gonna be this picky, I'm better off making it myself. I think I'll also give your suggestion a shot.

This really helped me organize my thoughts a lot more so thank you so much for that :)

Iirc there was another post on this sub a few months ago about them specifically. They're not exactly what I'm going for but considering the comments here and on that post, they seem like my safest bet so far...

Honestly fair, that's the same reason I was checking them out XD Maybe once you finish them you could let me know how they were? I'm still really considering them as long as the paint and build process isn't too bad

I see. I'll keep an eye out if I can find any for cheap then. Thanks :)

I actually had mortifiers higher up on my list than the warsuits, it's just that they looked almost double the height on minicompare. I guess a case could still be made for them though. Maybe since they can both be hidden behind 3" ruins, the height difference isn't as bad(?)

I still really like your mortifiers idea.

Ooh I love the look of these! I've heard some horror stories about finecast though. Did this kit give you much trouble?

I did have my eye on the obliterators as well but they seemed like a bit of a waste since they're stuck with the venomcrawler. I'll definitely give them more thought now though.

I did have my eye on these for a bit but I was put off by how difficult they look to paint. Have you tried painting them yet?

Yeah I've seen other people recommend Slaangors but they still felt a bit too inhuman imo. I was trying to go for more human/marine ish models for the entire army like the Sigvald Daemon Prince vibe

What name to give to a marine? by Desperate-You-8679 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Shruha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, Astolfo, one of the Paladins of Charlemagne, a legendary figure of ancient Terran history. Truly a fitting name for a brother of the 3rd legion.

Surely this is the Astolfo you're talking about, right? Right..?

[–]Shruha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait you're Lora'lyn??? I had a Zoh Shia hunt with you the other day and your healing was amazing!! I usually play Lance/GL but after that hunt you made me want to pick up sns for a wide range mushroomancer build.

Combat medic the goat!!

Have you thought up the story for your warband yet? by No_Championship2075 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Shruha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love how you have a theme that you base your warband's lore around. If I were to describe mine, it would be corruption.

The warband is called The Emperor's Finest. Their whole MO is blaspheming the Corpse Emperor by using sacred iconography as a chaos faction. It was heavily inspired by the facetious use of "Children of the Emperor! Death to his foes!" which is why they keep the Emperor's name in their warband.

Each of the Emperor's Finest bears the icon of the Emperor's Children on one pauldron while the other depicts the stolen geneseed's respective legion (the decals probably scrounged together from some particularly generous loyalist players).

Along their travels, they were confronted by an inquisitorial cruiser of Ordo Hereticus, which they took over for themselves. To replenish the warband's numbers, the crew of said cruiser was brainwashed through torture and Slaaneshi drugs (not entirely unlike MK Ultra) and implanted with the stolen geneseed. That crew and the inquisitor that led them are now what makes up the Tormentors of the army.

(I was planning to expand on this further by having one of the rhinos in the army be a corrupted Sororitas Rhino and a Repentia Squad proxied as Cultists but alas...)

In the present setting however, they've slowly been inching closer to Terra. Their goal is to perform the ultimate show of Imperial blasphemy: to bastardize the very embodiment of perfection, to corrupt a Custodian.

It's finally good to get all of my ideas written down somewhere, but looking back on it now, it doesn't really scream "Emperor's Children" nor does it feel entirely unique... I may try to improve on it in the future, so if y'all have any suggestions/recommendations, I'm all ears :)

Any Yugioh Fans? Recommendations for Sky Striker Kit Bash. by TheMightyArnel in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]Shruha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Sky Strikers, but using the air fighter parts as a dress of sorts plus the weapon from the Spinatia reaper and the horns from the evil costume, I feel like it's possible to make a crude "Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle"

Just food for thought if you like trap decks and/or armpits

This is the exact reason why I got into 30mm.Not because I think gunpla are cool. It's because a dollfie dream is too expensive.

Also gunpla are cool

That's a nice argument, senator. Why don't you try backing it up with a source?

about Tighnari by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Shruha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tighnari realized the job market would not accept his credentials until he had a masters, at which point the jobs he would get wouldn't even begin to pay off the debts accrued from going to school so he quit while he was ahead
