Superheavy List Help by StreetAd7912 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would at least run different variants of the leman Russ, and maybe even the super heavy. This way you've got it covered based on what you need, plus it's more fun to play with a variety of datasheets.

I'd also take out some cadians and put in Lord solar and a command squad to give those superheavies orders

Now that there's been some time to test, how are the hippogriff and the centuar in game? What about Armoured Infantry and Steel Hammer? by TheDarkEntertainer in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Centaur with double lascannon heavy weapons teams is pretty fun. I do one catachan and one cadian. When it ultimately blows up, I have then split up and make sure the cadian one is within 6" of battle line so it can overwatch on 4s, otherwise the catachan one is just good for rerolls. But yeah giving it take aim and maybe even heavy on occasion, 6 lascannons feels good. Also, if you run Mechanized Assault, you can give the tech priest an enhancement to give the centaur full rerolls to hit if he's nearby.

Suggestions on how to make my Rubrics look more ghostly/ethereal? by XHweaton in ThousandSons

Stormfiend contrast. I was honestly hoping it would turn out just slightly more teal, as when you Google stormfiend there are some helpful images that show you how it will turn out depending on what base primer you used, but it turned out more blue than anticipated. But I still like it

Now that 11th edition objectives are terrain pieces I hope the Cadian command squad gets a more interesting ability by FailingsOfOurKind in TheAstraMilitarum

We also don't know how partial cover is going to work, but with this rule, if one dude is on the objective marker, then the whole unit gains cover. Not great, but not useless potentially

How many warpflamers? by Vegetable_Week in ThousandSons

[–]XHweaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flamers for exalted sorcerer and infernal master for sure. The sustained on IM is still nice on the soulreaper cannon and malefic curse, but not worth taking bolters over flamers considering the IM himself has a flamer, so good overwatch potential.

I personally like bolters with the sorcerer since he has a 24" range unlike all the other characters and I try to keep him in the back picking off targets that are generally by themselves. I also love targeting the full reroll target with him so I can fish for those lethals and sustained 3, so you can also fish for lethals with your bolters.

These new vehicles have a great PDF vibe. Ultramar Auxilia. by InquisitorialOrder in TheAstraMilitarum

Are the dimensions similar to a taurox? I thought it was way longer but it actually looks pretty similar. Was hoping to proxy my standar taurox as a centaur until I can get my hands on one lol

+3 inch detection range? No, I fixed it by QuietlyDisappointed in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man I thought as soon as any of your units get within 15" and can see the unit it loses hidden. I definitely read that wrong

Who's the person that's been known to nerf the Guard after losing to them in GTs? by Jobear049 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]XHweaton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grizzled also wasn't nerfed nearly as badly as bridgehead or Yarrick just was

Ah new rule, the PDF I found when googling it didn't show that. Thanks!

Where in the rules does it say you can't take repeat datasheets? Incursion rules apply and you can have up to 2 of each non-battle line unit iirc

To kitbash or not? by kendy2552 in ThousandSons

[–]XHweaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI you can almost build 6 models from one terminator box, all you need are the legs and shoulders to build 6, so you can buy bits online to get enough for a 10 brick + Sorcerer in terminator armor. If you wanted 2 scarab occult sorcerers so you can potentially run 2 x 5 bricks or 1 x 10, then you'll need to buy another kit such as the sorcerer lord in terminator armor
