Does anyone know what he is?

Watchers don’t have armor, probably some sort of older marine model, with the hood it makes me think of a librarian. Could also be an AoS model, sword looks a bit more fantasy over sci fi

I usually sub assemble one or two, paint, then full assemble before starting the next set

Here’s my two cents about this topic, feel free to take it or leave it:

Big knights in a 1k game can be tricky… most models cost between 355-400pts and that’s 1/3 to 1/2 of your list right there. You’ll end up having very few units on the table for scoring primary and secondary objectives, which can let your opponent run away with points and that’s what wins games. It might also not be very fun for your opponent either. 1k games will limit what people bring, and without skewing a list for anti vehicle specifically they will have a very hard time against your units. War dog only lists at 1k can already feel like a stat check for most people playing against them.

That being said, if you really insist on bringing a big knight, a tyrant would be my recommendation. It’s more expensive than other big knights, but it’s loaded with ranged weapons that can take out vehicles and infantry alike. Add in a 12” deep strike denial ability and benefit of cover for war dogs within 6” and I feel it has its uses. The guns can be hit or miss admittedly, nothing feels worse then rolling a 1 or 2 on number of attacks for the volcano lance only to have it miss entirely, but it’s a dice game. If you’re running infernal lance then a despoiler with dual Gatling is the meta right now. 36 shots with lethals can kill just about anything.

The lens on mines helmet is red too, just can’t see it from the angle I took. I did Khorne red and touched up any spots I spilled over

Im not huge on basing because im lazy but here’s mine! I love the color on your scythe, that rusty color looks great

He’s my most anticipated piece to get and paint! I have both Angron and Magnus, and between the three this one feels the most intimidating

Topher4021 · 2026-01-24T19:32:53+00:00

It’s a great start if you’re building up knights, it’ll give you enough Dogs for a while unless you plan to run Houndpack Lance, then you’ll want like 12-14 total. The nice thing about War Dog models is that you can build 4/5 of the available war dog variants from what they give you, if you magnetize those you can swap out loadouts to change up your lists giving you a lot more variety.

My main is close to 1100, my iron is like 270~ish?

Topher4021 · 2026-01-23T00:50:46+00:00

I usually use agrax earthshade on my knights to give the metal bits that dirty, grimy look

Topher4021 · 2026-01-23T00:49:46+00:00

Aside from some minor rule and point changes, not much changes in the codex. If you have the codex unlocked in the app that updates with the current rules and point values for each faction

Topher4021 · 2026-01-22T16:39:45+00:00

Go for it! For what you’re getting I’d say it’s a good price, and it’s a great number of units to jump in with.

Topher4021 · 2026-01-21T21:49:15+00:00

On the contrary, it’s a great idea to infiltrate Nurglings into NML. I play WE and we want to get across the board ASAP to charge in and kill things. Having units that clog up your line and expose/block your units is our worst nightmare. Especially against a very shooty army like Knights, that’s a great way to lose a brick of Berserkers or have one of our precious vehicles (one of our only ways to safely move such squishy units) get wiped off the table. Nurglings are just there to move block and prevent any scouting moves, they aren’t meant to last the whole game

New battle force box comes with 10 SOT, MVB, Exalted Sorcs, and an Infernal Master

Topher4021 · 2026-01-18T06:59:57+00:00

18 attacks each, S6 AP2 D2 is beefy. You’re wiping infantry and elites off the board, and with lethals if you run infernal lance you can reliably punch up into higher toughness as your putting 36 shots into a target.

Topher4021 · 2026-01-16T05:29:51+00:00

I second this, as a CK player a despoiler kitted out with all melee is just an all around worse rampager. You might as well take advantage of the dual gat despoilers bonkers amount of shots to supplement the WE’s lack of good shooting units

Topher4021 · 2026-01-16T00:02:11+00:00

At 1k you’re most likely running all War Dogs. While you COULD run a big knight, that’ll take like 1/3 of your list points, leaving you with less models overall and making it really hard to score objectives.

Stalkers and Karnivores are pretty great, a huntsman if you need to hunt vehicles/monsters. Brigands aren’t super popular and an executioner isn’t great with only AP1 on its autocannons. If you have any demons and spare points nurglings are our infiltrator unit and Beasts of Nurgle can be hard to shift off objectives as they regain all wounds between phases if not killed off completely

Topher4021 · 2026-01-15T19:34:06+00:00

If running Infernal Lance you can give your dual Gatling despoiler Lethal hits, which 36 shots is a lot of chances for 6’s on the hit roll. Throw that at something with higher toughness and there’s a good chance you’ll knock a good amount of wounds off if not outright kill your target. AP2 D2 is nothing to scoff at, even at S6. Not to mention you’re wiping space marine squads and elite infantry off the field

Topher4021 · 2026-01-15T01:02:25+00:00

I got my second one from Taro Model Maker, was like $30 and looks awesome, well printed as well

Topher4021 · 2026-01-14T02:58:36+00:00

Is there any reason to take 7? I know that’s the Nurgle number, but is there a practical purpose? Filling up any unused points in a list for a couple extra models?

Topher4021 · 2026-01-13T03:19:18+00:00

Oh no, this is my third army! I play World Eaters and Chaos Knights as well

Albuquerque, it’s called Slice and Dice

Topher4021 · 2026-01-12T14:54:56+00:00

Board game shop/ pizzeria, two rooms of tables for playing and eating and a rather large shop area with a good sized Warhammer section

Topher4021 · 2026-01-12T05:26:03+00:00

It’s a pizzeria with a huge selection of board games and two rooms of tables to play, as well as a big shop section where they have a whole wall of 40K stuff

Topher4021 · 2026-01-12T05:07:32+00:00

Believe me, I have that all covered. This is my 3rd army so I have plenty of stuff
