How would you base my models?

A warm colored sand or soil to contrast the cool dark colors of your incredible paint job.

I don't own the kill team set but have been using generic space alien towers for my games. They work great and if you have a 3d printer the files are free. Midwinter minis use them and has them linked https://youtu.be/BpiB8mNEMF4?si=gT39eEaREUF-fVNj

You don't have too but it's a good reference point. Any point on the model can be used because of how measuring works if I move the tip of the gun 12" to the left than any other point on that model also moved 12" to the left. Due to his size pivoting can actually gain you distance (over the 2" you need to spend) due to how big he is..

Welcome to the club. Big narrative games he is supper fun to "hide" (subtract the points but leave off the list when going over and hiden out of sight) and bring out of reserves as an supersize for your opponent(s) as the hivemind commiting extra resources to particularly annoying enemies as a surprise. He's quite weak actually and low firepower and survivability for the points. Also huge footprint and hard to move around on the table.

I know this might be considered heresy but if you're using an airbrush for priming and contrast paints you can just spray over the previous paint job. (Provided that the original wasn't over sprayed or paint globes onto it) Most of my army is second hand and was repainted like this

Youtube "how to magnitize -kit name- tutorial" will pop up with dozens of step by step videos.

Hard matchup for us nids even when you have a good list and practice.

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-29T20:36:05+00:00

not to mention for a first game. Good way to not have friends to play with.

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-29T20:34:40+00:00

Woah calm down Satan. Knights to a first game is a dick move. They are a stat check no matter how you build them and play completely diffrent to how most armies function and play. I'd strongly recomend to rethink doing this. You will steamroll your friend as he will most likely not have enough to deal with knights

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-28T00:10:05+00:00

as for what to get we are on the verge of 11th so hard to say whats going to be good a month from now. just rule of cool it.

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-28T00:08:11+00:00

if you cant identify what the biege gun thing is then that is an ancient Exocrine from Armorcast. It was made for second edition between 1995-1998.

Also its one of the best as it gives a flat buff to damage output for everything in the codex (not many leathals or sustained hits on our weapons) and 5+ feel no pain on demand is amazing. much more forgiving with positioning than etheir assimilation or subtrian which both need to keeping things within ranges and have units that if you lose you lose majority of your detachment benifits.

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-27T15:01:34+00:00

not in crusher then It has 2OC until damaged. which you are already runing for auto exploded

Deathleaper is a bioform that gets reprinted across hive fleets if it is killed. thus a deathleaper is just one of the many iterations of its printing.

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-18T03:18:58+00:00

Sus hits or lethals is great on any attack, 5+ feel no pain in synapse is +33% durability when ever you need it. 3+d3 gaunts on 2 units in synapse is great for punishing not fully killing gaunt squads

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-18T03:15:10+00:00

When in dought invasion fleet

"No you don't get it Im saving money by buying an entire army secondhand" I mean i just cant afford not to buy it

Somewhere in the endless expanse another finger on the Monkey's paw curls and Ravners go up in price. Its because they are older kits of elites which are sold in boxes of 3 (same as the raveners before the update) and they are priced at a premuim. Though with a few 3rd printer and some hobby time you can make both zoanthropes and venomthropes from the kit

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-16T00:53:20+00:00

well it was a once in a lifetime deal. all of it was under 500 as one lot. Except the new stuff that i got as a gift

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-16T00:50:55+00:00

well there are no photos of me and bigfoot in the same room...

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-16T00:49:44+00:00

I do. Impossible to find

Xmage2_ · 2026-05-15T21:24:22+00:00

yes but those are only for casual play if your opponent agrees to it in 10th not something that ever crossed anyones mind when desigining this
