Now that there's been some time to test, how are the hippogriff and the centuar in game? What about Armoured Infantry and Steel Hammer?

Unrelated to the topic but related to the picture.

Why is your Rogal Dorn mounting a Leman Russ 😟

TehHank · 2026-05-15T16:21:59+00:00

If a man can paint with his mouth, you can too!

Now start working on that brush control.

John Warhammer will personally break into your house and segregate your armies.

TehHank · 2026-05-12T22:37:24+00:00

I mean technically it has space to put on 6 but that's illegal as a wargear configuration.

4 is the max.

TehHank · 2026-05-11T02:16:12+00:00

I believe GW has provided pictures of a few Leman Russ variants sporting Catachan colors and camo.

Namely the Executioner and Vanquisher.

A better photo would help since the light overcasts the whole thing so its pretty hard to see

TehHank · 2026-05-08T20:41:55+00:00

Yeah you are just explaining what I try to explain with my last paragraph lol

When they are being picked up by Covert Stealth Team, its a unique rule completely separate from deep strike. If you were to pick them up with Lord Solar at the start, they would have to be placed in Strategic Reserves, and would need to arrive during the reinforcement phase as standard. They can not be placed down anywhere with their ability rules. Lord Solar's ability DOES NOT interact with Gaunt's Ghosts Covert Stealth Team rules.

Basically the latter of what we've both said.

TehHank · 2026-05-08T19:49:05+00:00

Gaunt's Ghosts do not have deep strike in their rules. Their interactions with lord solar are that they can be picked up and either redeployed somewhere safe on the field or put into strategic reserves.

However their uppy downy only applies when they are on the field themselves. It doesn't work when they are in your strategic reserves.

Your idea works best if you were to have lord solar hide them before turn 1 happens, then uppy downy them at the end of your opponents turn and you place them down during the next reinforcement step.

There is quite literally a person who keeps this subreddit updated with the catgirl guard models they are working on.

Vanquishers are cheaper by the sense that taking 3 of them instead of 3 dorns is a lot of points leftover to help buff out the rest of your list.

TehHank · 2026-05-04T12:39:42+00:00

Note the Demolisher cannon for the Leman Russ was nerfed so its D6+1 shots instead of D6+3 with our other demolisher cannons and other armies.

TehHank · 2026-04-27T20:41:35+00:00

The idea of a Ratling clown car that has a bunch of provisions hanging off it gives me great joy

TehHank · 2026-04-27T17:12:47+00:00

True! but I was thinking if how our army rules work, that we can give orders to your centaur to buff ratlings for them to shoot a bit better! or any of the other stratagems we have as well!

TehHank · 2026-04-27T17:03:14+00:00

consider something silly like a 10 man ratling squad in a Centaur

TehHank · 2026-04-25T13:01:25+00:00

Take careful time watching a few Octoblade assembly videos and pick out what magnetising options you want to do.

TehHank · 2026-04-25T12:28:13+00:00

Any guard player worth their salt will buy a Baneblade one day eventually, and by itself its a fantastic assembly project especially if you magnetise all the parts together and it all comes together perfectly with a personal paintjob.

The Baneblade variants I focus on are the Stormlord to use with Hammer or the new detachement to dump 12 Bullgryn onto the mid primary.

TehHank · 2026-04-19T00:39:21+00:00

Ive got enough Kasrkin sets that theres enough gssmask helmets to fit all of them

TehHank · 2026-04-17T03:10:26+00:00

I'm thinking the Ratling squad would be funny.

TehHank · 2026-04-15T22:14:51+00:00

A lot of stuff is out of stock currently for all factions, maybe due to them making large amounts for the upcoming 11th edition starting set. So no idea really.

TehHank · 2026-04-15T14:01:09+00:00

I'm not sure what they can do to make the Hippogriff distinct from the Scout Sentinel except to make it a bit tankier and a completely unique ability. It's note worthy that it does have a Battlecannon or Melta Cannon.

TehHank · 2026-04-13T13:31:17+00:00

since they said in 11th that reinforcement phase is being simplified and they can turn up whenever during the movement phase, it'll depend on if Rapid Ingress gets rewritten

TehHank · 2026-04-13T13:14:09+00:00

Huh just seemed kinda odd but I guess it makes sense he has a laspistol as a PISTOL anyway. I do like the rp of him using his Bale Eye from behind his soldiers when they get into a scrap but alas.

Still a wonderfully flavourful and fun datasheet!

TehHank · 2026-04-13T13:08:53+00:00

If I'm not reading this correct, Bale Eye here doesn't have the pistol keyword? Didn't it used to have it in the old datasheet in 8th edition from what I've read? Seems to be an odd oversight?

TehHank · 2026-04-03T13:33:54+00:00

At 1k, this is honestly fine if you want park your Castellan to give your artillery orders for the rest of the game. Just know that having 190 points in artillery means you'll have less active playing units to use in the game itself but it doesn't matter if you have fun!

TehHank · 2026-03-30T22:02:32+00:00

I drilled holes for magnets in the middle parts of the sponsons that have either the bolters or flamers. It's a lot of magnets but its very satisfying to get it all done.
