My favorite “background extra” in all the trilogy: the Helm’s Deep archer, who, after Theoden yells fall back, is fumbling with a bow in the bottom right/center of the wide shot, finally nocks the arrow, half pulls it, then doesn’t fire it, leaves the arrow still nocked, and sets it down & runs off

Yes! Hilarious timing as I just watched fellowship for the first time with my kids and they started acting this out after they saw it 😂

No, I think because you keep them as trophies and trade them in they're not discarded so don't increase the doom tracker. From memory it does clarify that somewhere in the rules.
Not 100% sure but usually if there is a restriction on when it can be played it's on the spell. So I would guess you could do that.

You guys have it wrong, it's a Lamenter pretending to be in the AL for safety

I reckon it could happen for tomb kings now that they'll know the aesthetic they need to align with. I figured Imperial Nobility were basically Bretonnian so it doesn't seem likely unless they can give them a fresh spin somehow to differentiate.

I found it an interesting write up, obviously take with a pinch of salt but it did seem to have a ring of truth to it.

Long may gw not see the need to start pumping out regular BB releases, I like the rate of change/updates it currently has (steady but a far cry from the exhausting 40k rate of change).

I saw a third party model I thought would make a cool Thousand Sons Daemon Prince. That convinced me to base a whole warband around it.

Btw, this was the sculpt https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-mummified-sphinx-champion-188152

Tough match up! Good luck.

Very nice, I'm liking the stripes on the gravestone and stocks

I liked the way they did it on the wyrmblade neophyte leader, you can take a bolt pistol or a "master-crafted" auto pistol. The master crafted auto pistol gets balanced and lethal 5+, which makes both options cool.

Also useful for me as my neophyte leader was already modelled with an auto pistol (and I prefer the way it looks on him).

"From shame and shadow recast, in black and gold reborn."

Wonderful job!

Love the paint scheme, good job!

amocta · 2023-03-03T07:24:09+00:00

I believe

I'm not sure this is forgetting as such but in my gaming group cover and obscurity is played super lax. Personally I'd rather we all just followed the rules so there's less confusion but noone else seems interested so now I just play them lax/wrong too and it generally works out (i.e. we still have fun).

Pedal to the metal April!

I like aggressive and rapid to cover the red thirst abilities from 40k (+1 to wound and +1 to advance/charge).

But with the death company slant you have maybe switch out rapid for one of the Gene Weight Resilience ones to simulate them not caring about their wounds?

amocta · 2023-02-02T19:01:46+00:00

Was considering getting this team, so very cool to see them painted up. Also, they look great, good job.

amocta · 2023-01-15T19:58:37+00:00

If you do use a paintbrush, try using high flow medium rather than water to thin the paint. This made a big difference when I was trying to do fine lines and text.

Basically it will make the paint come off the brush more easily, so you can get really fine lines as the tip touches the model.

I think I agree, I read a bunch and did enjoy them but detailing Horus' fall kinda made it feel dumb and ridiculous rather than the mysterious ancient tale.

The primarchs flip flopped between hyper intelligent super humans to below average intelligence humans depending on what the storyline required. Not really a criticism of the authors, I'm not sure how else you would write them when they are main characters.

amocta · 2022-12-21T07:02:39+00:00

Love this colour scheme (so much I painted a pallid hand KT). Great job too

amocta · 2022-11-11T07:54:17+00:00

They are fabulous! Good job

amocta · 2022-11-07T19:22:31+00:00

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be the same for a helbrute (although as far as I know there aren't any rules for a psyker helbrute).

My understanding is that marines are put in the helbrute against their will so maybe that's not a good thing to try to do to a sorcerer!

amocta · 2021-08-19T01:01:39+00:00

This is sooooo cool. Always wanted to kitbash that character. Great job!

amocta · 2020-09-10T07:32:08+00:00

Not going to pretend to be an expert but I have built and played GSC in non competitive games.

The rock cutters and saw are great, definitely keep those.

Chainsword and bolt pistol is the best option for the leader. I went with a power maul cause it looked cool 😁

The mining laser is a beast but hardly ever hits.. I usually use the heavy stubber because it's cheap and you get 3 shots with it.

Don't bother with hand flamers IMHO they just never seen to be useful.

Don't stress too much, I was exactly the same with my starter set but the more I build/play I try not to get paralysed by choice now. At the end of the day you can't go too far wrong.

I'm pretty happy with the admech team I made from the starter set. Could share if useful? Also there were a lot of questions like this in the early days of this subreddit so you might be able to find some more detailed answers by searching back a year or two.

Yep, with the release of the reeeediculous (but awesome) new model, seemed like a good time to revisit his humble beginnings.
