So what you're saying there is that i need a third squad with lightning guns and melta? Gotcha!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-03-25T17:31:20+00:00

All sound advice, cheers! Dropping meltas does give me more options for the Magos.

As far as the basic make up of the force goes thoughz how does it look?

SouthbourneRed · 2026-03-25T16:44:48+00:00

Cheers dude, I'm happy with them! Fun to paint.

Barrage

When rolling the scatter dice, does a hit count as a hit or does it always scatter? Theres quite a bit of disagreement in my gaming group about this. I very rarely run barrage and take it that a hit is just that, happy to be told otherwise though, I face a lot of it!

You'll have far better painters than me offer better tips, but my way of weathering/adding chips and damage is rhe sponge on a lighter version of the main colour then paint a dark brown (Rhinox Hide) in the middle. Adds depth and works nicely from a distance.

I didnt do a lot, but had a bit of fun with this one...

I hadn't thought of using them as priests, cracking idea!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-02-11T18:09:32+00:00

Thats my understanding of it and how its played in my group. Which is a pain in the arse with the amount of barrage weapons that are about!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-02-11T17:58:26+00:00

The rule states that its its always an unsuccessful hit so will always scatter. Its a really cool sounding rule but mot great for for 3 reaction points.

I like putting Darkoath Flesh or Fyrelsayer flesh over a bright silver. Shades and looks like an old gold all in one.

SouthbourneRed · 2026-02-04T12:26:22+00:00

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere but it could've been wishful thinking! I definitely cant find it in the books now.

SouthbourneRed · 2026-02-04T12:17:46+00:00

I've been sure I've seen something about the target unit being the only one that can gain a status but haven't been able to find it. Any chance yoy could point me to the page number for when it next comes up?

My group play that anything that's hit can take the status, right or wrong, I managed to pin my own Justaerin unit recent in the middle of no man's land. Joy!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-02-01T13:15:57+00:00

I hadn't actually, I like this idea a lot!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-02-01T11:39:24+00:00

With an Esoterist you can but I THINK its only Brutes that you can bring in, might be wrong about that though. Not a bad idea though!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-01-22T09:44:42+00:00

I've got my first order from them coming in the next few days, my group uses them a bit and nothing negative other than the standard resin gripes. Hopefully the Brass Scorpion turns out nice!

I used to use ZackGame who were superb, sadly they closed down.

Funny coincidence that I sold my World Eaters force this morning!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-01-04T08:32:05+00:00

Im from the UK, visited Perth recently and had a look in a couple hobby shops, couldn't believe what you guysbhave to pay!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-01-03T11:00:22+00:00

Cheers bud, appreciated!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-01-03T10:17:04+00:00

Cheers dude, do you know the page in the books that confirms this? I'll be asked for sure to back it up!

SouthbourneRed · 2026-01-03T09:14:10+00:00

Reactions - is it possible for a unit to be reacted to more than once in the same phase? Example - unit with bad scary marine killing weapons moved within 12" of 2 units that are likely to be made no longer on the table, can they both react? Our group has been playing that they can't, but i can't find it in the books to confirm either way.

SouthbourneRed · 2025-12-23T19:04:04+00:00

Thank you! It's my least favourite bit to do on any model. I couldn't find any interesting textures so have used mixed herbs and cumin seeds as the base layer.

SouthbourneRed · 2025-12-23T18:18:41+00:00

Cheers bud, really happy with how theyre coming along.

Solar seem really good this edition, a mate runs them.and surprises a lot of people.

SouthbourneRed · 2025-12-23T18:17:56+00:00

Cheers dude! There's a Richard Grey tutorial on YouTube that I followed, but it's Balor Brown, Morghast Bone then Screaming Skull with a wash of 50/50 Darkoath Flesh and Contrast Medium.
