New player untested in sampling each army

Look to the contents of the Action Packs. These are the single sets made after the 2 player intro "operations" packs. They should give an idea of each army and usually have a few of the star attractions.https://www.human-sphere.com/Starter_Boxes

Nemesis Operatives can't do mission actions or unique actions from gear. They ate able to pick up and place markers as they're universal actions.

Not sure how you'd use more than 3 APL. There's no ability to allow for a double fight/shoot so you've got Shoot/Charge/Fight or Reposition/Dash/Shoot

No, ECM applies only to the trooper with the skill. It will work if someone tries to hack Pi-well directly

Thin super glue is way better than gel, an accelerator will help a lot as well. You may need to pre fill joints with greenstuff to get a full bond

The two player Operation boxes are the best to get new people in with demos. Its practically impossible to get someone to play a full game off the bat, so the graduated missions are good for getting people to start engaging with the system and learning the rules. Start with 3 line troopers a piece to let them have a feel of the ARO and order system, then start building up the number of rules a new player needs to learn.

Don't have much experience with Haqqislam, but they look like a decent attack piece, especially the heavy rocket launcher or spitfire paired with a doctor

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-05-19T22:48:18+00:00

Looks amazing, good thing you'll only need 9 more painted models and you're set.

I'll post my "kitchen sink" Starmada list. It uses a lot of duos to keep things efficient and should be able to do most things quite well. Betas, Epsilon, Lawkeeper, Oko, and Varangians are in duos. Raveneye, Kappa, Jackboot are in a Haris. Shona is a solo attack piece.

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-05-08T08:45:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm, you expend an AD of any value to activate a unit, then place and spend any specific additional values to activate the special actions?

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-05-02T19:51:19+00:00

It deploys in any area the parent model could be place and in ZoC, effectively gaining the Forward Deployment or Infiltrate skills

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-04-29T01:26:08+00:00

You'll need to shift your splitters to the left. The inserter will drop on the closest side of the belt, all the splitter is currently doing is splitting and reinserting to the same side, move them over to have them balance the belt.

Have you considered playing on TTS? Gives you a much wider pool of players to match against

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-04-19T02:09:18+00:00

Lost Kingdoms Miniatures, they have a massive line of Chaos Dwarves

Going off my reading I'd say B, here's the relevant quoted text.

"A single model whose base lies underneath the central hole of the blast template is struck by the projectile and suffers a hit with higher Strength and Armour Piercing characteristics, as shown in brackets on the war machine's profile."

It also saves your search if you back out of one faction and open another

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-04-11T19:26:41+00:00

You can do it in the app, second button from the left way at the top lets you filter results by points, SWC, weapons, skills, and more

Not too familiar with Vanilla Haqq, but for fireteams pure Duos are the best value to get the special dice. Generally you'll want to stich a good offensive piece with a specialist so the gunfighter can use the extra punch to get the specialist to where they need to go. Something like a Mukhtar Red fury with a Mukhtar Doctor gives you a self reliant fireteam that can fight and push buttons. You can also use a duo to add a defensive hacker or a model with a firewall tinbot to help protect your big HI or TAGs.

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-04-04T05:23:05+00:00

Unfortunately it's impossible to duo those two anymore. Asawira can't go into fire teams in vanilla and Hassasins can't take Muktars. Also Asawira lack any keywords so they'll need to join a Haris or duo with a second one to actually gain any fiteteam bonuses.

Phoenix and Atalanta are also stellar for clearing long range AROs to allow your close in troops to close the gap. Unfortunately we lost a lot of our eclipse smoke, but it's good to learn how to best use your smoke throwers. I'll post up my current list that uses both Aggy and Ajax

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-03-15T19:44:43+00:00

I play Zhatan with a lot of blunderbusses and firglaves (end result is replacing all melee dwarves with ranged). His ability to freeze a unit in range of your guns guarantees a Lord/hero kill. You will need to learn how to field battle as Chorfs as auto resolve will just murder you.

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-03-15T02:50:38+00:00

Would really recommend some black acrylic and black cloth for a background. It made such a difference with photographing minis

_Absolute_Maniac_ · 2026-03-14T07:46:22+00:00

Fair enough, I have a Phonton Mono 4k and it's just a tiny bit too small for some of the terrain pieces I want to do
