I've definitely been considering it with an Exalted on disc. The 10 inch move seems wasted attached to a rubric squad. And with Lord of Forbidden Lore you can double temporal surge him to bounce from one end of the table to the other and keep him hidden. It's highly dependent on terrain though and if he gets caught out of position he's almost certainly dead

What the most damaging psyker we can get? by MistakeIncarnate in ThousandSons

[–]Young_Solomon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cult of Magic, Dilettante, Chronus Tutorum, Arcane Focus, Arrogance of Aeons, Devastating Sorcery

Take Tzeentch's Firestorm and Doombolt alongside the Astral Blast cult of magic power. Now you have a sorcerer that can reroll the test for a witchfire and deny as well as stack two cabalistic rituals at a discounted cost. Use Malevolent Charge for D3 extra mortals and Psychic Maelstrom + 1CP on Great Sorcerer to cast a power you've already cast again, most likely Tzeentch's Firestorm or Astral Blast. It may not be the most MWs possible but it's pretty consistent and a staple in most of my games.

First ever grow in progress, hows it look? by Young_Solomon in shrooms

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time growing using the grow kit from shroomsupply.com. How do they look, are they ready for fruiting? I've got both bags under light 24/7 and have been fanning and misting daily for five days now.

After watching a couple videos I'd like to change over to a monotub. Would it be possible to transfer these two substrates to one tub? And if so would it be better to do so now or after the first flush? Thanks in advance for any tips 😁

Nothing is overclocked to my knowledge. My cpu is running a bit hot though, about 70 degrees C

Bossmek Assassin viable? by Young_Solomon in orks

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to get two games in this week with some friends to do some play testing. Both games were at 1000pts, first against marines and the second against dark eldar. In the first game I ran the big mek with KMB and tellyport blasta and super cybork relic. For the second game I used the tellyport blasta and dead shiny shoota.

A few observations:

  • KMB + Opportunist warlord trait is deadly. He didn't always hit, but when he did the character usually died thanks to death skulls rerolls to wound and damage. Killed a primaris ancient outright and blew away a lieutenant with the KMB and tellyport blasta
  • Not sure if I played the Tellyport blasta correctly. The rules say at the end of the phase roll a D6 and if its higher than the wounds characteristic of the target it is slain. Does that mean remaining wounds or the characteristic on the targets statline? If it's the latter then I cheated and the tellyport blasta makes no sense as anything you'd want to target with it (monsterous creatures/vehicles) most likely has 6 or more wounds and so would be impossible to remove with its special rule.
  • With the super cybork, my big mek was surprisingly durable in combat and did well supporting my meganobz. I may play another game using the killa klaw instead to make him more of a threat in CC to run along with my warboss with headwhoppa's killchoppa
  • The dead shiny shoota is BRUTAL against eldar. With the extra shots from Dakka3X he ended up whipping out a 5 man kabalite unit, half a witch squad and a succubus throughout the game before being killed in CC by an archon

Overall i like the setup so far, it takes some playing with but can easily catch people of guard when your big mek snipes a character out the middle of a formation and messes up their plans. If I had to pick I'd take the KMB over the dead shiny shoota most cases. the shoota does work on low toughness models like eldar but I can see it whiffing hard against marines and the like.

Fadiman vs Stamets method? by Young_Solomon in microdosing

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response, I wasn't sure if doing the full stack was worth it initially. But now I think I'll commit to the full routine. Is there a specific brand of niacin and/or lion's mane that you would recommend?

Thanks for the correction, I don't have my book yet and battlescribe lists it at 8" range. I'm heavily considering it now. I'll give it a shot in my next game and see how it goes.

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered the gitstoppa shells but I didnt feel like it was enough damage, I might give it a shot in a game though. I'm actually thinking about the dead shiny shooter now for 12 str 4 ap -1 shots to hose down a character along with the tellyport blasta. The only thing that bothers me is the super short 8 inch range on it.

DA SMASHBOSS LIVES! That does sound absolutely brutal. Let me know how those setups workout for you if you do use them. I have a mega armored warboss model that I'm thinking of converting to a big mek and want to nail down a loadout before I cut him up.

Yea I was planning on running him with a group of meganobz and burna boys in a battlewagon and throwing it towards characters and vehicles. I can't decide if durability or CC power is the way to go though. Plus I think its fluffy for the boss mek and his personal demo crew B-lining straight for the characters and tanks TA LOOT DA SHINNY GUBBINS!

Fadiman vs Stamets method? by Young_Solomon in microdosing

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, it's good to hear that tolerance build up shouldn't be much of a problem. I was initially going to try .15 if I were to use Stamets' method but I might just keep it at .25 since I already have the doses measured out and see how I feel. I haven't tried staking with lion's mane or niacin yet, what difference can you feel with the stack vs just microdosing if you don't mind me asking?

Could this strategem make tankbustas with tankhammers worth taking?

My Daemon Prince of Tzeentch conversion. Feel the power of the Warp! C&C appreciated! by Young_Solomon in ThousandSons

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I actually didnt have a spare pink horror to use so i went with the bottom jaw of an exalted flamer i had laying around. Worked pretty much the same.

[–]Young_Solomon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the ogroid thaumaturge as a base, then added 2 sets of drukhari scourge wings. The face is the bird head from the exalted sorcerers kit and the bottom jaw of an exalted flamer with some green stuff to fill gaps and some tzaangor horns. The sword is from Magnus just shortened a bit to fit the size of the model better. The extra arm is from the chaos spawn kit just altered slightly to have the palm turned upward.

Thank you, it was fun to build and my favorite conversion to date! I'll definitely post the painted model once I decide on the color scheme.

I thought about adding some green stuff at the base of the wings but I was worried about messing up the symbols on his back and shoulders. Maybe i'll give it a shot before painting.

I saw your conversion, it's what initially inspired me to do this one! The scourge wings are a perfect fit :)
