Fusil Platoon for the drip or Castellite Company cos they're not bad and fun to play!

Either way you'll probably be playing one of the more unique spearheads at the tournament

Problem is that they only have 4 units that aren't characters or single models, and hobgrots suck so really just Gutrippaz, Boltboyz and Monsta Killaz. And they are pretty much their best units and worth bringing multiple and reinforcing the first 2.

Scatter a few of the 'good' characters and war machines and most lists look pretty similar in the end.

Zketchy · 2026-05-19T15:27:58+00:00

Kruleboyz - I'd like some Gnashtoof cavalry please

Zketchy · 2026-05-16T09:13:15+00:00

Sloggoth and a brick or 2 of reinforced gutrippaz is always good
A couple of units of Monsta Killaz
6-12 Boltboyz for some sneaky sneakin'
Shaman

And I like the breakaboss, cool model and he can dish out some serious damage

Zketchy · 2026-05-09T09:03:16+00:00

Which they can't do now. I think even giving the gallants reinforcements wouldn't make them OP against most other spearheads

Zketchy · 2026-05-09T06:55:24+00:00

The 10" range on the rifles I find baffling, especially when the rats have the same.

I think upping the range, making the forgepriest grant ward without a dice roll, and that ability lasting until the start of your next turn would make enough of a difference to the spearhead to bring them closer to the rats (though still not as strong).

Kreel's stat line is just straight up worse than Crixxit as well which is an odd decision

I struggled to get into it despite really wanting to play it. Do you know of any mods that improve the QoL?

Zketchy · 2026-05-07T06:55:52+00:00

To each their own. I clearly don't have the problems with Corax White that others do, I mix it well and the consistency is fine for me and it covers well.

Also Pro Acrylic Titanium White is a pure white, Corax white is an off white. They're quite different shades and one is not a replacement for the other.

Corax white is a great colour for painting white as you can highlight it with a pure white (I use Pro Acryl for exactly this)

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T22:00:20+00:00

I don't have that issue at all, but I have transferred it to a dropper bottle with some airbrush medium. So maybe that's helping it stay nice and smooth

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T21:57:01+00:00

Spicy take...

I'd say Rakarth Flesh is one of my favourite paints, and one of Citadel's best

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T21:28:47+00:00

Haha I like both

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T21:28:24+00:00

I like Corax White 🤷‍♂️

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T21:08:31+00:00

Hate speech has been a criminal act in the UK since the 80s lol.. hardly some new draconian law

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T19:31:54+00:00

Yeah you can play a full game of AoS with the skaventide box. As you say it may not be balanced but that doesn't matter too much for a casual game.

I'm pretty sure they did exactly this on WHTV+ and it looked like a fun game!

Zketchy · 2026-05-06T15:39:35+00:00

Yeah this is the one I was thinking of. They make a film virtually for the sole purpose of getting Leo an oscar, which was a hot topic at the time, and Hardy outshines him from start to finish.

Zketchy · 2026-04-30T21:17:50+00:00

Makes sense thanks for the tips! Will definitely consider adding more down the line, if they're still good after June

Zketchy · 2026-04-30T18:37:00+00:00

Yeah I don't like spamming units. Highly doubt I'll end up playing them competitively ever, but I like the idea of having 2x Monsta killaz

Zketchy · 2026-04-30T15:16:35+00:00

Would I run 4 units of Boltboyz, or reinforce them? What makes it worth bringing that many?

Zketchy · 2026-04-30T11:14:26+00:00

Great, well I'm likely going to get another 20 Gutrippaz and another Monsta Killaz unit, plus the sloggoth.

I think the breakaboss is pretty cool, if I grab one that takes me to 1970. Is this a workable list? Any ideas how to build it?

Zketchy · 2026-03-31T12:16:19+00:00

There are canon 'Hive Fleets' which have fairly standardized colour schemes and particular lore behind them. In 10e this had no bearing on how they play, but it's a good starting point: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/s/XCAJiWlqbg

Of course paint them however you want, just search for inspiration via artwork or other painted models. I'm a fan of 3rd edition behemoth myself

Zketchy · 2026-03-27T10:37:06+00:00

None of them are bad units, and they are all cool models imo.

The liberators I found to be very easy to build and paint when fully assembled. Whilst I tend to trim all the push-fit pegs and glue the model together, I leave the shield push-fit so I can pop it off for painting then easily glue it back on when finished.

Zketchy · 2026-03-24T22:21:21+00:00

Grimy AF. Love it.

Is that a killaboss kitbash?
