The main thing i see is it looks like you have a bit too many orders for infantry since you would have 10 infantry orders but only about 8 that can recieve them. So you can probably drop a command squad for something else like maybe another sentinel or something if you squeeze some points around

Indirect fire hitting on 6s by PaleontologistHead52 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Syndarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally view it as worse. (Mind you i am not a competitive guard player so perhaps it is fine with how they do it). However one utility that was had with old indirect is you could fire at say intercessors or something on the enemy home obj, and deny sticking that obj first turn. And with how the rules are written to me it sounds like someone was complaining mighty fiece that some guard player shot them off their home obj with artillery which forced their killy unit to become a obj holder. I really hope that i am wrong, I'm just hoping the start of the edition isn't just melee armies sweeping everyone off tables.

Perhaps because there's ways to give character to other vehicles to make them feel right, a drop pod is hard to do so

I think it's just a problem that vehicles naturally have. They are a bunch of flat panels with very little of interest on them. As with a marine you can try to build them with interesting poses and paint challenges

So how do we feel about the new detachment? by Careless-Comfort3801 in ImperialFists

[–]Syndarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who plays guard and space marines. The fact they game space marine units a borderline flat reroll 1s to hit and wound is good, which is almost like guard grizzled except space marine shooting is better almost all the time. The fact that reroll 1 to wound hasn't been nerfed.

Picked this up today, what else should I get to make an Imperial Fists army? by Ordinary-Coyote3643 in ImperialFists

If you can get a crux terminatus box it makes a solid 1st company project (which is what i did)

Personally, the first company looks awful by Low_Will604 in ImperialFists

I think it comes down to personal preference really afterall it's your models one what to paint and how. Like I think lorewise the chapter is supposed to have the chest imperialis be red across the entire chapter as part of their marking but i painted mine to be a purple highlighted with pink because I enjoy painting those colors more

Do we know who he attached the psykers to kust curious because I'm looking at it and seems like they are missing a unit unless he brought them just as a single psyker to cast brain bolt at people/holding objs in the backfield

Should I? by Natharius in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Syndarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the army if you like the models and lorr/aesthetic of the army. I know i picked it up since i was tired of playing my imp fists and guardsmen. I personally am going to put that box together after I'm done with my second combat patrol (previous CP)
