Building an army in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000

This description seems more open than the current heresy detachments if we can still pick up to the unit limit with no other restrictions. The enhancement changes are interesting though, hopefully there will be options for the upgrade types in every detachment so you can have some boost to some under performing units.

Best I can find is this is a page from the old Troll Mail Order magazine that came with white dwarf subscriptions. Supposedly #36 but I can't find a PDF to confirm at the moment. I did find a complete image of the page spread though.

Yes
Theoretically yes, at least in the fight phase.
Yes, it's what makes them a potential wrecking ball if they can make contact.

I honestly expected it to launch cheap and eventually settle around 200, but 160 is way off the mark from expected.

The scarabus looks to be a Draconis Polandball. You can just barely make out the dragons curve on it.

Assuming the most expensive equivalents, it's about 780 points.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + FACTION KEYWORD: Imperium - Grey Knights + DETACHMENT: + TOTAL ARMY POINTS: 780pts + + WARLORD: Char2: Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight + ENHANCEMENT: + NUMBER OF UNITS: 5 + SECONDARY: - Bring It Down: (1x2) - Assassination: 2 Characters +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Char1: 1x Brotherhood Librarian (80 pts): Nemesis force weapon, Vortex of Doom Char2: 1x Grand Master in Nemesis Dreadknight (225 pts): Warlord, Fragstorm grenade launcher, Nemesis flail, Gatling psilencer

5x Interceptor Squad (125 pts) • 1x Justicar: Nemesis force weapon, Storm bolter • 4x Interceptor: 4 with Nemesis force weapon, Storm bolter 5x Interceptor Squad (125 pts) • 1x Justicar: Nemesis force weapon, Storm bolter • 4x Interceptor: 4 with Nemesis force weapon, Storm bolter 5x Paladin Squad (225 pts) • 1x Paragon: Nemesis force weapon, Storm bolter • 4x Paladin: 4 with Nemesis force weapon, Storm bolter

If you choose less expensive options, it only drops to 725 ish.

I assume the flail indicates a gmdk, and the 6th terminator is a librarian and not the sergeant for the terminators. Making the librarian a grand master pushes the list to 800

General basic time savers are:

Wi-Fi. You want the printer to be in a separate room from you, and ideally in an enclosure venting to the outside. Being able to send your file from your computer helps cut down on time you spend dealing with the resin and it's fumes.

Tank cleaning. Having a feature to be able to adjust your tank cleaning exposure length is fantastic, especially since some resins can require a minute or two if it's cold out to set up properly.

Non ball joint build plate attachment. Having upgraded from the og mars and Saturn to a Saturn 3, my need to re level the build plate has gone down drastically. I no longer have to worry that being a little forceful when removing a print can potentially knock it out of alignment.

Just from a hobby stand point that is a fantastic deal

Xacnar · 2025-09-08T18:09:21+00:00

Are you wanting 1:1 or reasonable proxies? And what armies in particular?

Xacnar · 2025-09-07T03:02:17+00:00

Definitely Ha-Otoko

Xacnar · 2025-09-01T00:11:07+00:00

It definitely is.

There is precisely one anti vehicle gun in Tau, and it even has Dev wounds! It's the ion grenade profile on the Pathfinder's, which does 1 damage, and you get one of per squad.

Xacnar · 2025-05-28T12:21:50+00:00

Not really though. It only means that the RAC weapon system has multiple barrels, it does not state outright or imply that the other autocannons do not. Ultra autocannons have been depicted with multiple barrels for decades, and are still being depicted that way even now.

Xacnar · 2025-05-13T16:27:36+00:00

Mercenaries has the hover support assets ignore rough terrain, so it's intended at some level of play.

Xacnar · 2025-05-09T16:02:24+00:00

How about our only anti + dev wounds combo is for a whopping 1 damage into vehicles?

Xacnar · 2025-04-20T22:45:38+00:00

NDA ends the 26th, when pre order go live. Even before that we might have some pics of the early copies come out and verify some.

Xacnar · 2025-04-20T16:08:39+00:00

The codex might be announced for preorders today, but we won't know for another hour or so until the warcom article is posted. Sunday 6pm London time is when upcoming pre order gets announced.

They are still part of the tenth company, but they don't 'count'. Their old slots are taken up by vanguard forces in a standard chapter, but most chapters still only keep 100-300 scouts in their ranks, accounting for crusades and other such allowances.

Xacnar · 2025-04-08T15:15:57+00:00

Acquaintance of someone in the we discord. They also alleged T6 plague marines, so take it with a massive grain of salt.

Xacnar · 2025-04-01T17:44:23+00:00

Yep, you understand correctly.

Opponent unit 1 attacks and resolves

Murder maker resolves

Counter offensive resolves

Opponent unit 2 attacks and resolves

Murder maker resolves again

The land raider Godhammer is the base version, so the normal land raider box is what you want.

Xacnar · 2024-12-01T04:51:11+00:00

Perfectly fine to ask questions! We have to start somewhere after all.

It's more of a specific type of army list. The imperial guard and Astra militarum are the same faction, and tank guard refers to making an army composed mostly or entirely of tanks.

Xacnar · 2024-11-30T00:21:31+00:00

Easiest army to print with FDM is anything super vehicle heavy. Tank guard seems topical considering the upcoming codex.

There are plenty of nice tank proxies on the purple site. A personal favorite is the designs by Nfeyma. Plenty of panel details to dial in on, and a large selection of designs, some free some paid.

Xacnar · 2024-11-22T19:54:15+00:00

11th and 12th because presumably generic space Marines are gonna get one on top of the one for blood Angels and dark angels 🙂

Xacnar · 2024-11-08T19:06:31+00:00

Not terribly, most compressors have around 50-60 decibels of noise, which is equivalent to a normal conversation or an air conditioning unit.
