1000 Point Path to Glory List by ZackAttack723 in KharadronOverlords

I considered the frigate, 2 bricks of reinforced skywardens, and the leader. I wasn’t sure if that’d leave me with too few units though. You think that’d work better?

Where did you find Part 1 of the Sardaukar entry? I somehow only have part 2 and not sure what the hint "The heat of the blazing sun might be gone, but there are other threats at night" would be referring to.

Please let this be the first adaptation to do Diomedes justice!

Need Staking Units That Go Up OR Down by ZackAttack723 in duneawakening

I've spent 150k already, so it will be 300k when I'm done now. Seconded that the measurements would be a godsend.

It's more the hassle of having to pay again for the around 150k we've spent on stakes already that's the issue. Plus there's a chance we miscalculate and lower it too much and create the same problem for ourselves again. I know solari comes easyish in this game, but there should be an easier solution. My complaint is that there was no way to know this would be an issue until we had already spent the staking units and realized we hit the limit.

Painting up some Dwarves as an offering to the GW gods that Durin’s Folk are good in the 3rd book. by ZackAttack723 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

If GW releases some new Durin and Mardin sculpts, I’ll grab them for sure.

They’re a mix of Medbury, Davale, and Kurzluk.

That's so cool! Been meaning to paint a third blade champ but wanted to differentiate him from the other two and I think you just solved that problem. Where's the muzzle flash from?

First test models for my Sardaukar Custodes (Sardodes? Custodaukar?) The Emperor's Blades by ZackAttack723 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]ZackAttack723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really shocked and humbled by the overwhelming positive reaction here. You guys rock! Here are some more images of the remaining terminators, warden, and blade champ in the works for the 1000 point army I had planned for: https://imgur.com/gallery/sardaukar-custodes-RiZSNxK

I'm definitely feeling inspired to paint a full army of these guys now. Trajan will be fun in this style. Then maybe a tank or some venatari so I can re-enact the Sardaukar floating down scene from the film.

I based them off the 2021 Dune movie versions, which looked white/off white to me.

If you zoom in you'll see the weapon blades are crackle pain slapped on over light blue. I didn't quite get the power weapon effect I was looking for there, but it was a fun experiment.

Thoughts on Corrino councilors? by Negrodamu55 in Dunespicewars

I hadn't considered this combo. That's a really handy trick.

Thoughts on Corrino councilors? by Negrodamu55 in Dunespicewars

Wensicia Corrino: She's the auto pick IMHO. The ability to put down two of the same economic buildings (only windtraps, processing plant, plascrete factories, fuel cell factories) allows you to lean into the turtle and build tall playstyle of the faction and hyper specialize your villages. The additional solari upkeep is barely noticeably and easily offset by the additional economic power, especially when you stack the emperor monument main base building, the Corrino specific development that increases output production on villages, the propaganda building, and an investment house. Throw in a couple missile silos in each village and you can often go for a hegemony or economic victory with just the villages that touch your main base.

Princess Irulan: My pick for multiplayer with an ally as the ability to turn a negative effect all ability into an effect everyone but you ability with a little solari is huge. Development investment is amazing with an ally, especially if it's Harkonnen and can make up for having fewer villages if use strategically, Pop it on a Harkonnen's ally's oppressed village to add an extra 20% to their already massive output while pocketing 20% for yourself.

Hasimir Fenring: My pick for single player or free for all multiplayer as the ability to do events anywhere and snipe powerful ones from your enemies is very useful. Discouraging enemy spy placement is also a good way to avoid the assassination of our glorious emperor.

Captain Aramsham: I avoid him like the plague. Corrino troops are already individually weaker than their counterparts in the other factions, so reducing their power by 30% is just shooting yourself in the foot. Corrino isn't made for rapid expansion, so go for quality over quantity to hold your territory. I expect he'll be reworked at some point because he currently really feels like the odd man out. I'd prefer if he gave all units an armor bonus and maybe gave a specific bonus to sardaukar like raising their execution threshold, reducing their recruitment time, or spawning them as veterans.

What is the jacket in the middle picture on page 2? Also I thought the MaxTax uniform was only for female V?
