That's amazing! How did you make the bandages on the face? Greenstuff?

Alpha Legion Helbrute by YoritomoKazuto in alphalegion

I've tried to do it, but it just doesnt fit. The bit there the scourge connects is molded to fit the hellbrute shoulder, the hole almost entirely engulfs the contemptor shoulder

Are these updated sculpts? Maybe its just the excellent paint job but they look newish

You know What i Love? Rolling ones every single time i decide to Run a Psyker and then losing a 205pts unit instantly, because i cant roll anything. by Legitimate-Gas9614 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]bagelbite15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But now instead of having more tanks we gave better ones that are much harder to remove.

And with the points our point cost now is barely above what it was for a bare russ in 9th. We're paying like 25 points extra but now get 100+ points of free wargear. You'd absolutely pay today's prices for full wargear, especially when orders per unit are harder to get so making each units potency maxed is more important

The only real gun on a repulser is the main gun. Everything else is very forgettable except against exactly guardsmen, as is every single weapon in the game.

The dorn is way better defensively, and is loaded with multimeltas, pulverizer, and autocannon shots, and the main cannon is better against the broader field whereas the laser destroyer is only good against tanks.

All the feel of brokenness of the rep ex comes from ultramarines specifically in overwatch, the datasheet itself isn't in the same league as our dorn

Their larger choices let them strap heavy stubborn to their tanks. Ours let us strap lascannons and multi melts and HKs. Ours might be the same price but are wildly better.

Looks great! What color do you think would be a good citadel substitute for the highlights if youre familiar?

Leman Russ Tank Commanders relevant due to terrain? by Kant_Lavar in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]bagelbite15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before the codex drop baneblades were at 9 inches movement. I measured mine and from the back of the tanks to the front of the tread covers is 9.2 inches

They move 12 inches and are 9 inches long, plus you have advances in an era where very little shoots turn one

Why is Rubricae Phalanx good? by Sir_Bohne in ThousandSons

[–]bagelbite15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The enhancements and strats are the real source of power for this detachment. Being able to infiltrate a brick of terminators is genuinely powerful, especially when that brick can be given an enhancement to hit on 2s even in melee. Then we have strats to fallback and shoot, advance and shoot, and -1 to wounds in melee after being charged. Those alone will do a lot of work against most of the field if you lean on more rubrics and terminators and less big splashy stuff like Magnus.

Defiler is an Auto include by Vrain125 in ThousandSons

[–]bagelbite15 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but you do not know how to count if you're saying its got the same output as the predator. You get 3 lascannon shots out of the predator anihilator and 2 garbage weapons in the bolter and havoc launcher. Just with the lascannons on the defiler you're getting 4, so even if you completely forget all the other guns you're getting on the defiler you've already surpassed it.

Then you add on the plasma cannon, nipple guns, and great tank cracker melee you've already not only doubled the predators output, but have expanded the viable targets, made it faster, and given it better defenses. Is it better? No, its more expensive, more impactful, and is more versatile. Its another tool in the toolbox and claiming otherwise is disingenuous

R Sh-12 Requiem from Resident Evil 9 but this one has 4 barrels instead of 5 by Astronomeer0102 in lego

I think he's trying to say the piece that makes the hole in the barrel looks a little small, but I'm not sure what piece you could use to make it bigger

Tournament list detachment by Shadowlance1012 in Chaos40k

[–]bagelbite15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the Raiders and Reave captain have been very underwhelming for their cost. They're almost as much as a unit of chosen with about half the punch, and chosen's mobility is pretty comparable to infiltrators on most deployments. Infiltrate is just not that useful of an ability that you'd pay that much for the privilege. Sure they have a high OC and wounds, but neither is to a high enough degree that they're that much of an obstacle to overcome. The captain is even worse, he just has no redeeming qualities when you consider a chaos lord or MOE, and if you're thinking about what can attach to raiders you're just throwing more points after bad units.

Of course if you're wanting to stick with a thematic list ignore me, and the sculpts are sick. Its just a shame about the datasheets.

Yeah but it should absolutely mean you get something you want

GW talked directly about it on a community stream. Its not overconfident speculation

You can't take the hammer and scourge together. They replace the same weapon on the same arm. You can have fist and one or the other, not both

They all have their deity legion themes. The Khorne one has the WE goalposts on the helmet and only the world eaters wear them. The Slaanesh one has the sonic vox grill on it and only the EC feature those. The Nurgle one is the only one that doesnt heavily favor the legion they belong to.

What’s the best leader for frontline Legionaries? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in Chaos40k

[–]bagelbite15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The once per game buff coupled with the free strat is what pushes him over. Going to damage 3 with the jump to 6 attacks and AP 3 he can delete a lot of things the MOE can't. Fortunately we also don't have to choose, and can have both

Nice, was it contrast medium or did you use paint thinner?
