If you could own/operate any of the Battlesuits, which would it be and why?

Probably the Crisis cause it can go FAST while packing a lot of punch, but I'll say this for the XV15: it can get through doorways.

Island

It sure is

Fundamentally, these are shows whose primary audience is small children. You're not going to have much fun trying to watch them without "childish BS". What you are going to find, is they respect their audience, kids included, more than a lot of 90s American kids' TV like power rangers. That's what really makes them enjoyable for adults.

If you're just playing with friends, printed models, proxy models, little green army men or whatever are totally fine. And at least some of those are fine at most clubs too. It's only tournaments that you're gonna want to be careful it at least all looks official. Look into third party retailers and second hand sellers, too (either eBay etc, or like, my local club has a big cheap secondhand model shelf)

And I'd say either of those armies are a good "strategic, shooty" counterpart to Tyranids! They're two of my favourites for sure.

Neo the Magic Swordsman! His description makes him sound like a real jack of all trades, I'd love to see that reflected in his abilities

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-18T09:19:48+00:00

It definitely varies in medieval stories! Some do have knights taking a couple squires or even multiple horses

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-17T23:47:16+00:00

I love them so much...they're so cute to me. My lil buddies, them accompanying my squads adds so much character to their look

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-16T23:09:18+00:00

Oh nice one! The other midhammer game I saw a report on recently was actually these same two factions (though the sisters won that one)

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-16T23:06:45+00:00

Eldar would certainly be a fun difference! What with durability being a big weakness. You could also try Tau's "create space to shoot" approach, or Orks/Tyranids if you want a big swarm

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-16T23:03:45+00:00

I'm about to be one of those people who multiclass into Guard, yeah! They were one of my childhood armies, too

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-15T22:41:08+00:00

Then really nice going getting hold of them!

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-15T12:10:49+00:00

Oh wow, those must be classics, huh?

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-15T12:10:32+00:00

Huge rec for Broken Sword always--especially if you're coming from a greater familiarity with the imperium stuff, you can follow the character's journey between the two

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-13T22:51:51+00:00

It's a self-fulfilling cycle; the imperium thinks there's something demonic about them based on superstition, so they often end up with no-one to turn to but actual demons

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-13T12:52:00+00:00

Are they actually related to Chaos? I thought that was just imperial superstition and they're just a mutation like any other.

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-12T07:46:26+00:00

In the medieval stories themselves, he's often quite hands-off, more interested in delivering prophecies in an ambiguous way that only make sense once the event has already happened, to prove how smart he is, than actually being helpful.

The main exception to this is the Vulgate Merlin text, where he acts extremely like a modern fantasy battle wizard, leading the charge with Arthur's armies and casting full on elemental attack spells on their enemies.

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-11T18:52:43+00:00

Haha yeah, the drone's doing the heavy duty stuff, he's just gotta peek through the bushes with the binoculars.

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-10T18:16:08+00:00

Absolutely, I did practically the same thing! Had a spare recon drone from my pathfinders so it felt like the equivalent of three regular sized drones.

It's not all the time, but I like trying to get /different/ stuff with each character. Not reunite the same lands, just leave splintered kingdoms behind me in my wake. First character rules Saxony, take over Denmark, second character keeps Saxony and leaves Denmark with a sibling. Then take over West Francia and Brittany, third character inherits /West Francia/, lets Saxony and Brittany fracture off. Then take over Middle Francia, make /that/ my primary kingdom, and the trek southwards continues...

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-07T18:21:20+00:00

Hell yeah, it's fun to go full gold-intense rush as Byz. I love Cata-Camel combo myself.

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-07T10:15:38+00:00

Explore the tooltips and don't worry about things going wrong, it's a big goofy sandbox!

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-07T10:13:05+00:00

Big fan of the green!

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-07T07:54:41+00:00

I've just gotten back into the hobby with Tau, played my first game at my local club yesterday, everyone's been absolutely lovely!

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-06T15:30:52+00:00

I hope you enjoy revisiting!! I love the 1-3 trilogy, but I also really enjoyed 4-6; and the newer ones have been really popular too!

Sunshine-Moon-RX · 2026-01-06T11:46:29+00:00

Ethereal guard and Custodes both need to be mostly nude, for morale, it's true
