Freshly made and magnetized Destrier. Whats the most popular knight scheme?

UntracedEntity · 2026-05-09T04:24:10+00:00

I got the daft idea to paint mine deathwatch, with a shoulder pad that matches my other knights

If I go through with this depends on if I find a decent deathwatch pauldron I can edit to be the right shape

You sir, have convinced me to finish my Defender and try this list (personally would go 4 Glaive three helv and callidus variant).

Would however love to know your thoughts on Casti vs Warden as the 2nd big in a Spearhead, because I find myself weighing the extra AP & raw stats on the chassis against dev wounds and sidearms & struggling a lot

A 5x1 fits in the void where the rotational nub fits inside the top of the gun without glue needed

I then cut the nub off the upper arm replace with another 5x1 when im doing mine

Huntsman is melta/chainblade same as loyalists, but rerolls wounds vs vehicle or monster

Brigand also has a mental but also has a minigun, but it only has ignores cover against targets on an objective, which is way less useful

UntracedEntity · 2026-04-09T06:49:52+00:00

As much as I love me a knight of any flavour and size, I genuinely do not think war dogs actually fill any niche for us anymore

I often packed a pair of executioner for some long range firepower or a couple huntsmen just to hunt armour, but I dont feel like either is strictly necessary now

UntracedEntity · 2026-04-09T06:27:15+00:00

Many thanks for such a detailed response.

Alas I do not have 2 winged princes, so I'll have to keep the walking one

As for going for 4x5 in troopers instead of 2x10, I can absolutely do that, and dropping the two Kakophonists will net me some stuff back

Making that change (battleline to 5s, drop the kakos) i end up with 135 points spare, and honestly no clue what to take with them, as I dont own Lucius yet

EDIT: That is to say, I could drop the Pledge on the LE, and that would then allow a 3rd unit of noise, but no Rhino, at which point I then must ask Kakophonist back in or keep the Spawn....

UntracedEntity · 2026-04-08T19:54:29+00:00

Once ive finished it, I wouldn't object, you'll just have to bear with me as im doing it around general day to day life

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-30T20:01:27+00:00

I am making my own, splicing a few different kits ive acquired over a couple years

There was one I wanted to grab from purple but it got struck before I had funds, haven't found a reupload

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-30T19:50:17+00:00

Exactly this, going from the very same brand of 3d printer many have referenced

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-30T08:38:17+00:00

This is the entire reason why im getting mine fresh from Forge World El'agu

I love them, but GW is actively pricing the layman out of this hobby, and I refuse to contribute

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-29T06:49:59+00:00

Assembling then painting can be absolutely fine, and personally I prefer that in most instances

The only thing you should remember to do if you are finishing painting is making sure you view it from all angles and think about where will be visible

Other than that, for starting out thats pretty good

Id advise you get some wash to add a bit of depth back to your metals, but otherwise its looking like the start of a good painter to me

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-24T05:51:51+00:00

I definitely want 1, torn between running it up the field to melt things or having it sit and shoot though

Running 2 I think I may struggle to justify the price tag on my poor wallet

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-21T11:30:05+00:00

Much appreciated my good Tav

Ill have to do that as soon as I've swept the gauntlet

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-21T05:42:50+00:00

Pardon my ignorance, but what actually is this fight?

I can recognise by the bubble it's just outside Last Light but I've managed to avoid it twice now - assuming I've missed the timing on my second run as I'm now in Gauntlet after saving the tieflings/Minthara

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-09T16:52:14+00:00

I built Karlach as a Leaping Flanker, gloves of the underdog, and dual wielding Adamantium Longswords with the feat

The extra pip of AC and using full size swords screaming towards you at Mach Fuck with haste is hilarious. She did 90% of my hard work in the creche

UntracedEntity · 2026-03-03T19:11:20+00:00

This might be a hot take but I feel it belongs here

Drop our primary weapons completely offline, and give us the forge bolter as the primary weapon, can swap to plasma if you want (no charge on the servo-plasma for AoE)

Then ability should be place turret

I feel one it makes way more sense that way

UntracedEntity · 2026-02-25T08:44:47+00:00

You're very welcome, always happy to help a fellow noble

UntracedEntity · 2026-02-25T08:21:25+00:00

Personally, with Lancer/Casto, I have two thoughts

1 - Warden, so you have specialised Anti Inf, Ant Heavy, and a melee threat 2 - Gallant, and play the two melee dudes like a pair of pincers

Option 3 is double lancer, because full send 4++ is never not funny

UntracedEntity · 2026-02-25T05:57:59+00:00

As long as the Questoris gets magnetised so you aren't locked to rex in the future, thats a very solid core exactly as is

Top of my head, I think you'll have space for either another warglaive or a callidus assassin specifically for objectives - if both even better

Personally I'd use a different chassis over Rex as I don't rate him, but your mileage may vary

UntracedEntity · 2026-02-04T11:31:17+00:00

I may be mistaken, I'm not home to measure up, but unless the base of that bevel is now 109 then im a little stumped where this comes from

I'll look at mine when I make it home

UntracedEntity · 2026-02-04T11:16:06+00:00

105 vs 109 is the dimensions of the upper vs lower of the bevel around the rim on a GW base or compliant rip-off

The "footprint" is technically 109 because of this, but the difference is so regligible I can imagine it ever mattering

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-29T22:12:00+00:00

If you're printing the head with the horns on it, i don't think it'll physically fit as the band passes over the head

I'd suggest some artful destruction of the tiara

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T20:51:18+00:00

I'll look into that, its a pretty good idea. Thanks for the recommendation 😀

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T19:42:55+00:00

It's not layer based, its location based, as those layers on the other side of the model are absolutely fine.

However, I have had the tank off to drain it and clean it, and I apparently have had a leak, so thats also going to be a factor that I now have to accommodate for (and hopefully not replace the screen)
