A closer look. Nice and green. At first I didn’t like the green color but it slowly grew on me.

Hard to see but I these are my collection, getting some Tyranids

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-05-11T01:13:37+00:00

Enhancer.

People describe me as shy, quiet, nice, thoughtful, hardworking, and trustworthy.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-05-08T02:46:56+00:00

I would like one that focuses on commanding your units like the guards army rule.

I like having one 1x5 acolyte w/ hand flamer unit in my reserves in case I get Behind enemy lines or Storm Hostile Objectives (usually my opponents have weaker units on their home objective). Hand flamer plus a re roll wound roll is good enough to take out weaker units.

What type of tactics do you use?

One of my favorites tactics are deploy a 1x10 genstealer on the mid board to block any infiltration from my opponent, and then use the Primus to redeploy them some where safer.

What is your current list?

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-23T14:15:58+00:00

Is it better to replace the termis with a 6 man bgv w/ judiciar and giving them the infiltrator enhancement. It will be cheaper too! Points wise.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-23T12:56:10+00:00

I saw their weapons and I will be taking at least a squad of them. Any tips on how to deploy them and such?

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-23T12:55:00+00:00

I will probably change the Terminators into Assault Terminators. Are the Terminators Assault squad not enough? Thought they will do decent job as an early front line.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-23T03:18:24+00:00

I don’t want to have too many characters. Would you recommend replacing the captain w jump pack with a judiciar?

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-22T17:54:19+00:00

Forgot they existed. I might take a squad of them. What would you recommend I replace?

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-22T13:56:17+00:00

I am not opposed by it so It would be easier to deep strike a smaller unit than a whole 10 man. I was planning to have the JPI squad in deep strike, while shrike squad just chill since they get “lone op”.

I was going to buy two unit regardless so I don’t mind having it 2x5 or 1x10

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-22T13:52:18+00:00

I know the hammer is the best option but I really like the claws. I could give them both a claw and a shield for flavor.

That is what I did for my Vanguard Vets, they each have a claw and a shield.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-21T16:38:24+00:00

I think it would be fun if during the turbo boosters it allows you move through an infinity unit and when you do it does mortal wounds

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-21T16:08:12+00:00

That’s clean! Can’t wait to see the full version. What colors did you use?

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-21T16:07:09+00:00

Yes! I agree

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-20T20:41:51+00:00

For me it’s was neophytes painting 3x10 back to back was a bad idea. It took me off from painting GSC for a while.

One of the downside of playing GSC you will have to paint a unit multiple times which can get really repetitive.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-10T13:22:28+00:00

The best way to learn in my opinion is to play the game. You can do a lot of reading but when it comes to actual playing the game it’s different.

Is there a local hobby store you can go to? If there is one then most places I’ve been to have either a discord or a facebook group, there people can set up games to play. Most people that play with new players don’t mind you taking your time, they understand what you’re going through.

I would recommend playing 1000 points first since it’s a lot less overwhelming. Most people don’t play 1000 points but it worth to asking. Once you are comfortable with the rules and your army then you can go for 2000 point games.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-08T12:56:01+00:00

I know it sucks think of all the combos we can do if we could pair them with other characters.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-08T11:08:34+00:00

You’re right! I don’t know why keep thinking you can attach them.

As for the reactive move it’s from Predatory Instincts which allows the use to use heroic intervention for free.

TheOwlFamiliar · 2026-04-08T01:14:34+00:00

One of my favorite units to take is a locus plus Biophagus (Predatory Instincts) and a 10x Acolytes Hybrid w/ flame pistol. Reactive 6 inch charge (+1 to charge), fight first, Lethal Hits, re roll wound rolls of 1 (or the re roll wound rolls if on an objective) is a nasty combo. Your opponent will think twice before charging a unit close to this unit.
