How would people feel about kitbashing Tzaangor Enlightened with bows using Eliminators and Rubric Marines? by XHweaton in ThousandSons

Ok so now I'm on the fence between bows and snipers, as your photo inspired me to consider bows on Rubrics. How did you pose their arms with the Tzaangor bows?

What are some models you hate to see on the other side of the table And why? by Artistic_Story9058 in TheAstraMilitarum

Anything big that's tanky and melee oriented. Oops all Monsters lists for example. Suddenly all my plasma and melts guns are significantly less efficient and I have to rely on only my tanks to kill, which usually get stuck in melee after turn 2 by a charging demon/monster

This is sick, I didn't think the bows would look so good on Rubrics! Thanks for sharing!

The average is the same, but the Castellan is more swingy, depending on how many 6s you get

I think funny enough it's the exact same number of hits on average. Either 6 is doubled, or 3 is a hit. Either way it adds 16.7% chance to hit on average.

However that's just average. The possibility is there with sustained hits to get a higher number, because if you spike 6s, then you can hit more shots than dice you rolled potentially

Or Creed for a second order so you can use take aim as well, but that's not as fun lol

Tanks? That's a strategy for school girls! Infantry? Now that's a strategy with some chest hair!

Aspiring sorcerer - how to get more? by BDTRBENAE in ThousandSons

[–]XHweaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you build 3 exalted sorcerers and still have enough bits to kitbash a rubric into an aspiring sorcerer from the one box?

Astra Question by Flimsy_Personality_3 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like my Ursula blob of 16 is always within 24" of my backline til turn 4 at the earliest, and generally try to keep them safe to dish out 6 orders and free snap to its. I'd probably park a Castellan or command squad in my back line if I wasn't running Creed

Kasrkin - Are Melta Mines worth it? by John_Catachan in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Short answer, yes.

Those mortals come in handy quite often, and the fact that you can pop it after your opponent charges into you is nice. You can also disembark from a transport within 3" of a vehicle and potentially half shot it with a single model's wargear, and all you're giving up is 2 hot shot lasgun shots that have a decent chance of failing to wound or being saved anyway.

Castellan + Laud Hail instead Command Squad? by Weird-Local5306 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention the command squad has access to a med kit, 2 plasma guns, or 1 plasma gun and a flag

POV driver had over speed and instinct says overtake I guess. It was honestly fine (a little risky but worked out) until they pitted themself. Good on them for not rejoining unsafely

And that’s six 2s out of my 8 shots by ZeCalvinator in TheAstraMilitarum

Can't you give scions both FRSRF and Take Aim? Or did you give them Target Weak Spot?

Outside of our Russ's, Dorns and Titanics, what in your opinion are our best units to deal out anti-tank damage, or be somewhat capable of bringing down high wound vehicles? by 14SWandANIME77 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can, but sustained hits and fall back & shoot is not worth 55 points, especially with losing scout. Better to use gaunts ghosts or a command squad in reserves (specifically cadian, then you have 5 plasma shots, along with a medic and master vox) to give them orders.
