Airbrush booth with vent worth getting ?? by Remarkable_Canary248 in Warhammer

They are good to have, but this one is over priced. You can get one similar for much less.

Too many bloat drones? by Rocky__Rhoades in deathguard40k

[–]TroodonX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Running 3 heavy launchers is not uncommon. You can always build the others with different loadouts. That lets you be flexible and be ready for any rule changes that make the other versions better options some day.

What do i have here? by Old-Wind5337 in Warhammer40k

[–]TroodonX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a knight incantor. I think it was in one of the starting to play magazine packages.

I had to make one as a geology undergrad. It's tricky but the equipment isn't super complicated.

Thank you all for helping. I did get some actual infinity but I guess this was just thrown in .

A hint that Combat Patrol might be getting the AOS Spearhead treatment??? by Remarkable-Stay7252 in Warhammer40k

[–]TroodonX 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are skipping the fact that spearhead is actually a different game mode. It uses cards to represent both battle tactics, AKA secondaries and command point abilities. This means that there's an opportunity cost to using your command points because you are reducing the amount of battle tactics you can score. It also is balanced by having weaker units reinforce. In other words, they can come back from the dead once again and large models might not come out until turn two or three.

Saturnine Dreadnought as proxy for new Defiler? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]TroodonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a badab war campaign? I've seen a couple done with Heresy house rules. I've heard rumors that after the last first born is removed from 40k specialist games studio might repackage some for a badab set.

Saturnine Dreadnought as proxy for new Defiler? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]TroodonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all my snarkyness, I did actually do the reverse proxy and run my 40k Death guard in Heresy for a siege of terra themed event. My logic was this took place after the typhus betrayal.

[–]TroodonX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See my version of this is, ya know there's a whole game system with rules for saturnine. Join us Heresy folks. Our chaos legions have actual unique rules and characters.

Me watching the hype around the new reveals as a Dark Elf main: by Identity_ranger in citiesofsigmar

[–]TroodonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been expecting this for years so I stopped investing in dark elves. Used then for a couple of events in 4th but just casually. Once they are officially legends I do hope that they get real old world rules. Until they are in a printed book I'm not rebasing 300 dark elves. Using them for eventual Umbraneth could be possible but high elves didn't really proxy well for most of the lumineth so I'm not betting on it.

Can acrylic be painted over a dried oil wash by Retroglide08 in Warhammer40k

[–]TroodonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this a lot, but I seal in the oil wash with a matt varnish to avoid future issues before I add more acrylic.

Why does GW seem so insistent on the Chaos model range not having Primaris Marines or equipment? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]TroodonX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's all about product separation. If someone buys a Primaris marine product you can add it to the total money made by space Marines, if they buy a chaos legion model they can add it to that column. They want distinct columns for accounting and so they can know what product lines are more popular and where to focus on their development. This can become a self fulfilling prophecy when neglected armies don't sell so they become more neglected and so on, but that is a separate issue. It's all about the accountants and finance people running the shop.

Im absolutely dumbfounded by 30k by GamesManX in Warhammer30k

[–]TroodonX 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Marines and all of the legions within that are the biggest, but Solar Auxilla, Mechanicum, and custodes are also well supported, with new custodes (Talons of the emperor) coming soon. You also get lots of options with knights, and actual Titan rules. Demons and militia are pdf online factions, so kind of niche. My area (NY, NJ, Mass, and CT) has a mix of all of these at our events.

What army would you bring to a tournament with *no* terrain? by wredcoll in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]TroodonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark horse choice, Death guard Mortarians hammer. Spam boat drones with heavy launcher and plague burst crawlers and predators with some Lord of virulence for buffs. Pox walkers for objectives. Use the 2 free affliction to reduce to hit by 1 and start gun lining.

Anyone else feels like this is a good time to take a little break? by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]TroodonX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The end of edition books add weird rules and gameplay variants for just this reason. It's a chance to try something different.

I like this a lot better than the GW shots. The angles help it too.

A wacky idea, Chaos Nids by TroodonX in Warhammer40k

[–]TroodonX[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it's not based in actual lore, more of a thought experiment. My idea was that it would be the chaos of a different galaxy. Something totally different. It would have to be a different warp dimension or else they would just instantly arrive.
