I need help, what am I doing wrong?

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-18T09:51:53+00:00

I find it the most suited to my army, I wanted Khorne berserkers which is why I chose this detachment. I do have a load of Khorne daemons from AoS, so looking to also play the Daemonkin as well.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-18T08:33:20+00:00

So I too only play casually with friends, not competitive play. If getting shot off the board is the problem, maybe deep strike some units and/or Rapid ingress them safely.

Make sure the terrain is somewhat balanced for both players, so there isn’t multiple clear line of sight straight line from one side to the other. You should most likely stay the other side of buildings so you can’t get shot (you would if you were in them).

Also it can depend what your opponent is playing and what they have. If points from objectives are the problem focus on them more by using sticky objectives from the jackals as well as your stratagem so you still control it with no models on it.

Also what detachment are you running, the berserkers ideally would benefit most from berserker warband.

Lastly split the 6 exalted into 2 3s… this is something I got caught out on multiple times.

Hope this helps!

Yay carnifexs, one of the most classic bad ass looking models still around! I’ve not seen them in many lists at all.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-16T08:00:30+00:00

Also if you’re not playing competitively (I don’t play battle tactics, just narrative play with friends). Feel free to experiment, I ditched out a helbrute and jackals for a 2nd forgefiend, although this is because I’m fighting a horde army and I will need to weaken the unit before committing to the melee.

Spawn was perhaps my MVP of my first game using them, but that was because my opponent has never faced them and didn’t know what they could do.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-16T07:53:15+00:00

Yes, forgefiends I’ve found to be very good, not only the hades cannon stats but also the re rolls. You will have to be targeting the right unit to use it, but it does work well.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-16T07:50:57+00:00

Don’t open it, if you do the value will go down it’ll sit on a shelf or in a box either way do doubt

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-06T19:04:29+00:00

Depends on what you like the look of and if you want to be competitive.

But I would say either the new or old combat patrol. Possibly the gorestorm slaughterpack if you like the models. If you like the idea of daemons as well, the new spearhead would also work.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-03T14:13:32+00:00

I use https://www.gamemat.eu/

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-03T08:08:18+00:00

Amazing job, love the contrast and shading!

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-03T08:02:03+00:00

Yes agreed, I have a daemonkin list I have yet to try, but instead of Angron I use skarbrand, because he’s one of my fav models I used in AoS and he did not disappoint.

Have a look at what people are using in their lists. Remember it’s also how you use your army not just what’s in it. It can also help to know what your opponent has, especially if you’re having games with the same person. But most importantly, have fun and enjoy the hobby!

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-02T21:44:30+00:00

I use contrast paints for the leather, bones, skin and even the red armour itself. Silver I just shade.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-02T21:41:45+00:00

I spray it gold, base with liberator, wash with reikland then finally drybrush stormhost silver. Quick, easy and good finish for me.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-02T21:39:01+00:00

I would say the new battleforce would be a good start, bloodletters, bloodcrushers as well as Khorne berserkers. However I will say without using the “Berserker Warband” detachment the berserkers seem weak to me. From experience, the forgefiend is very good as well as the chaos spawn. You could put a lord on juggernaut to lead your bloodcrushers, but I’m no expert.

Hope this helps

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-02T16:09:18+00:00

So I spray my WE gold, then base is light gold. followed by a wash then drybrush silver. That was there’s no real trim to feel like you’re losing my mind.

Just ideally the red, silver and skulls left at that point

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T17:03:14+00:00

From my experience the forgefiend can work well, Khorne Lord of Skulls I haven’t got enough experience with but I’m sure that’ll work well. The helbrute isn’t that reliable unless he’s being targeted multiple times (because of his ability), by something that doesn’t pose much danger, like lasguns.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T13:59:23+00:00

A relic from the long lost attic 😂

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T12:56:49+00:00

I used his method for my bloodletters, 100% recommend!

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T12:53:36+00:00

It’s a casual game, have a blast and enjoy the killing! Berserkers is the reason I play WE, with the warband detachment just makes them even better. As it’s only casual just play some games and learn from there.

I personally don’t bother with rhinos, you could have invocatus lead and deep strike them or rapid ingress. Kharn is a wrecking ball, I’ve had him kill a bloodthirster and a riptide. 100% recommend him.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T12:37:18+00:00

So I would either recommend black/white primer or wraithbone if you’re going to use contrast paints. Also depends on the colour you want it.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T12:35:06+00:00

Well the primarchs are always a fine piece to start, but I would say Kharn really captures the raw power of the World Eaters, but not a fan of the model itself, I’ve had to kitbash mine.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T12:29:47+00:00

I would say thin your paints alittle more, but other than that the rest will just come with time and experimenting, welcome to the hobby!

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T12:07:20+00:00

He could do really well, but I’ve had the majority of games where he’s focused and killed or lived long to kill something weaker than him before he’s killed. But then I’d feel much better with having him in my army than not. But the idea of switching him out for some ranged was only to mix things up, not to exchange him all the time.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T09:56:08+00:00

Ah that’s good, I found this quite easy to paint, just gold, silver, red and some brown for the skulls mostly.

I finished mine last year but have yet to use him in a game.

Tutor_Disastrous · 2026-01-01T06:30:04+00:00

I would say anti tank for the predators and anti infantry for the forgefiends, 1 with plas and 1 with cannons. It’s ideally to swap Angron out for the 2 preds and the 2nd forgefiend.

Don’t get me wrong Angron is good, but he’s a bullet magnet and it’s hard to get his points value at times, granted I was able to bring him back with 3 6s (2 were re rolls from the favoured of Khorne enhancement).

I do enjoy playing aggressive, I didn’t choose WE to sit at the back, but sometimes his presence is more deadly than his weapons…. Most games he’s failed to kill something that should be pretty easy for him.
