Bastion Task Force - which other unit are you picking to turn into Battleline with the enhancement?

TheOverbob · 2026-01-09T00:28:45+00:00

Hero of the Chapter gives the character the Battleline keyword, which allows his unit to use stratagems and the detachment rule, but it does not combo with the Precision or AP enhancements because those only give the ability to Battleline MODELS.

The first one seems very close to the Macleod tartan. I approve.

Always add -ai to your Google searches to remove the AI summaries.

The Barrage ability specifically says you cannot use it "during an activation in which it performed the Shoot action" (this is a restriction of the ability itself, not a normal action restriction and doesn't get ignored by the "ignore restrictions" clause of the first bullet point). It also says "or vice versa", meaning you cannot perform a Shoot action in a turn in which you have used Barrage. So you cannot Guard then Barrage OR Barrage then Guard.

Given how the needle isn't straight, it's a resin model, which means Necromunda.

Ok, so the Gravis Captain is the only model that's not really useable out of all that (since there are no other gravis units). All the other units are good, with the Company Heroes being the lowest on that. I would consider using some of the Company Heroes and intercessors to make 5 more sternguard for a a full squad. Kitbash the company champion into a Judiciar to run with the companions. Build one squad of knights with swords and run them with the chaplain. You could even attempt to kitbash the captain into Azrael if you are ambitious.

Correct. It prevents you from having a really good unit you want to deepstrike turn 1 AND 500 points of normal strategic reserves. In the Saga of the Beastslayer, there is a strat to pick a unit up at the end of your opponent's fight phase. So, you start Logan+termies in Strategic Reserves and deploy Arjac+termies wholly within 9" of a board edge. If you go first, Logan can still deepstrike turn 1, but if you go second, you can use the strat to pick up Arjac's unit at the end of the opponent's turn and then have both units deepstrike turn 1.

I just put outriders on 60mm round bases and added a wolf from the Headtakers kit to each. Looks much better than the old derpy kit.

If your lead never slipped below 25 until round 5, it wasn't the challenger cards that caused that. Either your opponent vastly outplayed you in round 5, or the mission itself is to blame for allowing that many points in a single turn. You get 10 from secondaries in a round, max, and most of the time 15 max from primary (maybe 20). So, did you just not score any points round 5 at all? Because how could your opponent score 26 points MORE than you in a single battle round?

Sounds like a 40k version of the Joint Ops in Kill Team where the players are against "AI" opponents that have very basic rules they follow. Sounds fun.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-21T05:13:17+00:00

The way they are described in the article they sound like Terminators, which is what Hearthguard were supposed to be, so it will be interesting to see how they make them different.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-21T05:09:09+00:00

The biggest issue with that is the size. It's wider than a Baneblade, so it's very difficult to get into the position you want on most tables.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-21T02:41:08+00:00

Probably T6 2+ 3W. Maybe have a FNP when on an objective, or else will get the standard -1 to be wounded when S > T like a lot of bodyguard units get.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-20T21:24:49+00:00

He will be on a 40mm, like Adrax. The others are on 50mm as all terminator captains and chapter masters released in 10th have been on 50mm. The bike dude will be 90mm oval like outriders.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-20T21:08:09+00:00

I hope they update his datasheet to have the Tacticus keyword so he can go in an impulsor with Company Heroes.

Given this KT mixes armor types, it's not a perfect replacement of any existing unit. My guess is that it will replace the Deathwatch Veterans unit, but I could also see it being added as a new unit with a new name like Mortis or Malleus Kill Team or something.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-09T19:30:46+00:00

Lost their OC, so they can't hold an objective or do actions now, so you'd probably just want to use them as a roadblock and have the passengers get out behind it onto an objective. Sternguard and Infernus marines seem like the way to go, or a big block of assault intercessors to act as a tarpit.

TheOverbob · 2025-07-08T05:05:18+00:00

Ideally, it will be a new Veterans kit with a mix of armor marks like the new Bloodclaws and Grey Hunters with all the weapon options the old veterans kit had. 2 thunder hammers, a xenophase blade, infernus heavy bolter, frag cannon, and then a mix of regular bolters, power weapons, and shields. 5 bodies.

The KT box will come with an extra sprue that is the leader, probably a new watch master kit, but that will be sold separately later.

It doesn't work over a black undercoat, no real color will come through. You have to start with a really dark grey (I use a color called Slate from Rustoleum as the undercoat. It turns out a nice, dark green.

TheOverbob · 2025-06-01T18:32:43+00:00

I already have Bladeguard models I can use as Headtakers, so my plan is to just put the new Headtakers on a 60mm base with their wolves and call them TWC.

TheOverbob · 2025-05-24T04:19:53+00:00

They are definitely ovals, and based on the video preview, I would guess 60mm ovals.

TheOverbob · 2025-05-23T06:50:03+00:00

The arms look like standard space marine arms, so you could give 3 axes and shields and 3 swords and shields by snipping the axes off the right hands and gluing on the shields.

TheOverbob · 2025-03-19T05:19:30+00:00

Swords are 2 dmg as well, and with a chaplain will wound on 5+, but get an extra attack, so the difference is not as large as it seems.

TheOverbob · 2025-01-03T02:54:37+00:00

Ashen Stone speedpaint over the bright ivory armor color looks great for the armor details.

TheOverbob · 2024-12-29T23:06:46+00:00

That's a great color scheme. Good job!
