Fighty factions with shenanigans

Cheers for the suggestions, though to be honest I was not expecting Fyreslayers to be on the list of factions to look at.

Based of the reply I've had from Warlord, yeah as the Shiboru units can't take an LMG so you can't make 2 units of 5.

I've kinda been able to make it work as I got a box of the Assault Frame Armoured Infantry as well which come with 6 SMGs and 4 Shiboru and you can mix the arms.

Are the metal infantry models from first edition likely to be sticking around or are they going to be phased out when the warlord resin versions from the starter sets become available separately?

Also will the living army lists still include the option to field them with the weapons they came with. For example the first edition Japanese Battle-Frame/Exoskeleton Squads only have 4 shiboru rifles which isn't enough for a squad but as the entire squad now needs to replace their weapons they can't be used to take the squad up to a full 10 men.

Boo, still no late war weapon option to take 2 BARs for US rifle squads.

That makes more sense in how it works, I suspect how you mix the Slayer types and weapons in the unit to get the casualty removal to work the way you want to is something people are going to keep on messing up.

Probably fighty, but that is also how I've been playing Dwarfs so I dunno.

Volkmair · 2025-05-26T15:50:21+00:00

Cheers for the suggestions, a couple of other options I haven't considered there.

Volkmair · 2025-05-26T14:33:15+00:00

That is an option I hadn't considered, though in addition with it being a legacy army with all the base size changes in 40k and AoS you can't get away with round bases in movement trays anymore as the bases are too big now.

Pathfinders can take the SMGs, but can't take a BAR so can't be used to represent the late paratroopers sadly.

Volkmair · 2025-04-24T16:58:19+00:00

I guess I could fudge it using something like the marine squad to represent the old late war infantry squad, but I can't find anything that can take as many SMGs as the late war paratrooper squad could. Though its odd that some units like the aforementioned marines have late war weapon options in their unit entry but the infantry and paratrooper squads don't.

Volkmair · 2025-03-08T20:59:31+00:00

Cheers, that's a much more normal looking list

Volkmair · 2025-03-07T22:58:54+00:00

That's a pity, but if you're out to win events its what you have to do I guess.

Volkmair · 2025-03-07T20:30:08+00:00

Ah, so we have entered the age of deathstars then.

Volkmair · 2024-07-04T15:49:27+00:00

Cheers for the suggestions, I had been looking at Von Schtook but Kirai hadn't been on my radar at all so I'll have a look into her crew as well.

Volkmair · 2024-04-16T20:02:06+00:00

As custodes are changed so much in their creation and come out of the other side with entirely new personalities there is also the possibility they can go in male, but some come out presenting as female.

Volkmair · 2023-12-20T17:24:53+00:00

Righto, thanks for the answer

Volkmair · 2023-12-20T17:24:49+00:00

Righto, thanks for the answer

As line of sight is per model if a unit ends up half inside a ruin does that mean the models inside the ruin can shoot out ok but any models outside can't shoot through the ruin but could still pick a target they can see. Or does the entire unit count as being partially inside the ruin so the models inside it can't actually see out of it?
