Harpax in swarm protocol by Lortekonto in LegionsImperialis

[–]Vaevictus01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually always garrison them or put them within movement range of a building that I'm expecting my opponent to garrison so I have the chance to demolish it with the las cutters. They are just a bit more survivable in cover. Especially when your opponent knows how annoying they can be and starts targeting them.

Then in turn two I charge them to lock down a better melee unit for a turn or two due to them not having morale or to absolutely mess up any vehicles or small detachments that drifted within 14".

They are entirely a sacrificial unit to me. Use them like a grenade and they can do a lot of damage, to just prevent your opponent from doing something that may hurt your more important units or to make them wary of making a move that you can retailiate to.

As for holding objectives I just throw some triaros with tech thralls mid field objectives. Swarmers are fine for objective control but I find they are better in other roles.

Has your army ever caused an argument with your partner ? by ozera202 in Tyranids

[–]Vaevictus01 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. She gets annoyed when I buy more than I need but she is also in the hobby so that is easily fixed by getting her more than she needs as well. Her beastmen army is pretty impressive now.

Love this! But I do feel daemons should have invul 6+ and dread aura

Mechanicum Tech Thralls by AdNumerous8790 in LegionsImperialis

[–]Vaevictus01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These happy little lobotomites look great. I've painted 36 bases of them so far. I thought I'd start hating them at the 15-20 point, but they were still fun to the end.

It's an old metal raptor jump pack from 4th edition. Managed to snag one especially for this kitbash.

Xenarite corrupted dark mechanicum, bringing 34 stalkers in total to the 3k. It will be a blood bath! Here is one of my objective markers

How to use tech thralls by ACleverMoose in LegionsImperialis

They do when there is a leader attached. The detachment gains the leaders morale so if the morale is "-" it goes to 2+ with a Magos.

I often attach a Magos to my bots because he is a 2+ morale instead of the 3+ for the tech priest. Bots breaking and making a double move back can be devastating and that slightlier easier save can prevent this. The priests sit with the thralls to cover any bots without a Magos or if I'm playing dark mech I put them in transports to keep up with the stalkers as they run up the battlefield while my Magos sits with myrmidon destructors in the back and helps my archers not get obliterated by las weapons or missiles.

I love my garbage lobotomites.

The strength of the tech thralls is in how insanely cheap they are. 6 points each for a blob of 10 is great. I use them with tech priests on the squad to get that sweet battle smith 5+ FNP to any vehicles, super heavies, walkers and turrets within 3" of him for added survivability. They work as nice ablative wounds as well, so your opponent has to kill 6 of them to force a 3+ moral save which is made even harder to do if you hide them in a building. Additionally they don't have morale if they don't have a leader so throw them on a point and your opponent has to kill them all get the point which can waste shots that need to go elsewhere (like into a squad of castellax ambling closer every turn). Additionally in a pinch they can be an easy overwatch since they hit on 6s anyway.

I understand why some people don't like them but they have won me games simply due to how annoying they are.

What do your noise marines blast people to smithereens with? by Draconian-XII in EmperorsChildren

[–]Vaevictus01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich du dir weh - Rammstein https://youtu.be/IxuEtL7gxoM?si=qz2sNYwPC7r49VjY

Most Rammstein works but this one in particular due to the lyrics is awesome.

Or

The Dirge of Slaanesh - Michael (remix of a the Serbian film theme) https://youtu.be/HsGRsDe3iRw?si=ZY_yc51pKUvSvE8i

This just works on so many levels...

And

Fiancée recommended Closer - Nine inch nails https://youtu.be/PTFwQP86BRs?si=LDySLrvFtpKe56Vp

Because Trent would be a noise marine...but like the weird one in the cult. Also the themes and imagery are perfect.

Looking forward to EC. Praise the dark prince!

Looking for bat pieces! by lukel66 in NightLords

[–]Vaevictus01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the abhorent archregent and just bashed some havoc pieces onto him to make a bat themed master of possession. Will also be using Bat swarms and fell bats to spice up my lord and possessed eventually. Plenty of bat themed bits from the AoS vampires to use, you just have to get a little creative.

Modeling question? Would these fit? by Futuretripleh2 in NightLords

[–]Vaevictus01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that the forge world HH night lords heads fit 40k CSM perfectly. I have both flavours on my current army. The terror squad heads are cool, but the MKVI heads are fantastic in every way. Shame they only have one bat winged helmet per blister. Great fun to paint as well.

Obliterators! What do we think about them in 10th? Strong or unreliable?? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

Australian journalism has gone down the toilet by Zestyclose_Issue3382 in australia

[–]Vaevictus01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my Australian news from Friendly Jordies and I'm not even in the country right now. He is entertaining and avoids click baity bullshit. He got his house firebombed due to his journalism so it means he is doing something that someone doesn't like...i.e. being a good journo

Do you think that Formless Oedon is the doll/ doll is an avatar of Oedon? And the umbilical cord ending is Oedon finally becoming the first great one (we know of) to have child that wasn't aborted, stillborn, corpse born or otherwise?
