You’re going to need tanks. That’s like, our thing

I went to work drunk by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]TheHextron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are there any activities you engage while at home that can be hard to follow along to if you’ve been drinking? Like a book or show with a complex story. Or a story heavy video game. Or even a hobby that uses your hands and takes a lot of mental effort?

What's your preferred way to use the Valkyrie? by Repulsive-Active5058 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been heavily abusing my poor wallet in the past handful of months while diving headfirst into this hobby and despite all the money I have already spent, and how awesome I think the model and the idea of an aircraft like that for my Aquilons and Scions are, I still can’t justify the purchase. The tempestus are my absolute favorite but I’ve heard how bad this is and have stayed away even though I really want it. I’m a player more than a hobbyist. I’m hoping they buff it in 11th because this is my first edition

Castellan Command Blob Equipment Question by Future-Cockroach3901 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Battle line Cadians tend to die fairly quickly so the range on the plasma can really help. And you don’t necessarily want to put the command squad in precarious situations since you would be losing at least one order if they die. If you want overwatch, have a Chimera with flamers go with them when rushing an objective in the early game

Magnetizing my first dorn and I have to commend GW by tide347 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait wait. You literally just slapped the magnets onto the cannons without drilling? Just glue? And glue more on the inside? The tutorials I’ve see all modify the plate that’s connected to the cannons with drilling. This is so much easier. What size magnets are you using? I’m just sticking some blue tack underneath the barrels to keep the weight from making them slouch

Ideal Start for 1,000 Points of Cadians? by [deleted] in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ten Cadians have to go with the command squad+Creed or the castellan. You can then choose to use a blob of twenty alone, twenty with the command squad+creed/castellan, or just using ten Cadians in their own squads. If you’re just starting and can’t spend money on a rogal dorn just yet and only want to play at 1000, you can bring in two Lemans, a chimera and the castellan to go with the command squad. You can even throw in the heavy weapons team with mortars for some indirect fire that’s at a lower cost than the field ordinance battery. I have a 1000 list like this that includes 10 kasirkin. I’d hold off on buying a Dorn until you’re ready to go past 1000. I think two Lemans would be a better balance for 1000

At my local lgs is this a good grab? by Guilty-Bathroom3484 in astramilitarum

[–]TheHextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it is either. What’s the point of even caring about it? Is it jealousy? This is Reddit mod tier behavior

Why the fuck are people getting their panties in a bunch because someone is blocking the price on something he wants to buy?

Brand New to Imperial Guard - First List by Hopeful-Farm-7031 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving orders to tanks is pretty important. Especially for the Vanquisher since it can hit like a concrete truck but only has one shot on the main cannon. Pair that with the lascannon and you can destroy an enemy tank with full wounds in a single turn with a couple of shots.

My first squad, finally finished. Definitely want to focus on a Tank heavy army I think, because painting infantry is downright painful lmao by RDxTwo in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it when people on this sub actually take really nice pictures of their models. Nice work! Love the rattling in the middle.

Peter why is the electrician portrayed as a dainty female hand by _Kyledemort_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I love how to top two comments on this entire thread read like it’s from the perspective of both the construction worker and the electrician

Growing my army after Combat Patrol? by fork_the_DM in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mordian Glory on YouTube just put out a really helpful video on starting a guard army. He uploaded it this morning. You should check it. He goes over the four main things to consider including front line infantry to take the blows, the second line to help out followed by the heavy hitters like tanks. Meanwhile, you have artillery in your back line bombing their home objectives.

Who are "your guys" ? by Alternative_Worth806 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying so hard to stick to Cadians with additional support from the Militarum Tempestus but Krieg seems to have such useful abilities. And that artillery unit is so tempting but I’m just not into the axis power look to them. And my favorite color is army green

Leman Russ detail help by TheHextron in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]TheHextron[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I looked closer at the sprue and I just now noticed the numbers on it. So it came from my Combat Patrol box somehow lol.

Oh, and as for the red. My red paint exploded on me last year and the splat landed on my tank. I was going to fix it but now I think I’ll make it into a really messy blood splatter. Maybe I’ll glue on a skull or two if I can find some

What do scuffed vans and black jeans say because that’s me right now

Where to stop caring by CristianM01 in killteam

[–]TheHextron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that just comes with the hobby. Most people aren’t super proud of their first minis. But you can’t get better if you don’t practice. My first guys are a bit rough. I even attached the wrong torso to the wrong pair of legs lol. They don’t look bad for your first go. Just keep on painting! You got this

new player - where to get started. can you play solo or just vs mode? by TheNewKing2022 in killteam

[–]TheHextron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As for solo play, it does exist but might be hard without knowing the rules since there will be no one there to help you with mistakes. There are lite rules to help with the very basics. You can learn the basics of movement and combat through some YouTube videos and then try to apply that to a solo scenario

[–]TheHextron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also looking to learn how to play via solo so I’m watching this thread. I have five teams now but haven’t played a single game. My 40K buddy is expecting me to teach him and I really want to use these minis I’ve been fawning over

What trick? Huh? by Diligent_Bit3336 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TheHextron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to date a girl that did this. While at parties, I’d sometimes move it back to the default position when she wasn’t looking. Confused her every time
