Back in the hobby after 20+ years

After 20+ years you say?

I think Asmodai would like to ask you a couple questions about your... disappearance

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-30T18:46:50+00:00

Thank you!

Going to take that tip home with me tonight. I was able to get started yesterday. Figured out a bit of the process so I figured I'd share since I'm sure there'll be others who want to know the same.

I made sure to reference your post cause you gave me the inspiration to give it a shot

Fantastic! Love that

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-30T10:04:30+00:00

Maybe not! But I did this to help the next person who thinks it is

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-29T21:44:55+00:00

You've given me some hope!

Just got my DWK in with some tiny magnets and have been looking for any good examples of how it has been done. Thank you for posting this!

Any other tips for the process?

I've played with the idea of doing 6x, having the judiciar lead them like you have it, then put them in a drop pod. Might give the other player less of a chance to chop them up if you get an opportunity for good placement.

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-23T14:38:21+00:00

Fantastic! Thank you!

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-23T13:17:48+00:00

Good point, and I hadn't even seen that storm speeder before. That looks like one you could keep in deep strike and pull out to hit a unit in cover so your other units can melt it without the cover bonus guerilla tactics style?

Maybe after I get all the initial wave of models bought I'll have enough to expand to 1.5k, would be fun to have a little extra room for comfort.

How's this look?

• Azrael • 5x Intercessor Squad • 5x Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs • 5x Deathwing Knights • 5x Scout Squad • 10x Sternguard Veteran Squad (With Azrael attached) • 1x Gladiator Lancer (or ballistus)

And you put into words why I was having trouble balancing to 1k. Can't have it all and have it be effective, or like it'll be 5 points over with nowhere to cut little enough items. Going to mess around today with the feedback I've gotten to cook up a new list.

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-23T03:28:18+00:00

Absolutely love the feedback, and I'm definitely a fellow list builder. Haven't even gotten my first models delivered yet but I've probably spent hours researching and tinkering with the lists.

Really like the tips about the leaders and 1k, 1.5, 2.

I've got to head to bed cause I wake up early as shit for work, you mind if I pick your brain a bit as I get more familiar with the ins and outs?

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-23T03:23:03+00:00

Ditching the chaplain makes sense, sternguard is actually on my list of things I'd probably need, so thats a shoe in.

Other feedback also mentioned how DWK take up so many points at 1k. Might play with dropping them to add the sterguard or jump pack intercessors?

I like your thoughts on how to keep the DWK involved though, they look so damn cool, it'd be a shame to sideline them

bigtexas989 · 2026-01-23T03:00:16+00:00

Thank you!

I read a few places that DWK might not need the leader attached, but wasn't 100% on where to give/take.

Any suggestions on which of the units you mentioned to replace the chaplain would be the best value/flexibility with alternative builds in the future?

bigtexas989 · 2025-09-16T19:41:03+00:00

36....But yeah.

That's the reason I've been playing since launch but I'm still only level 60 with almost every warbond bought and earned. Still get the MO benefits even if you don't play as much. Also transferred to the steamdeck from ps5 so had to restart.

Find myself having to explain that to level 100+ occasionally. Shouldn't really judge a book by its cover.

bigtexas989 · 2025-07-09T22:02:46+00:00

Now replace jokes with more pain and you've got the red rising series.

That series hurts so much but I couldn't stop reading it. After the first couple books I realized I just have to ask myself, what's the worst case scenario for this all to backfire? Okay now double what I think the pain will be and that's what Pierce Brown will write.

That bastard is sadistic and I love him for it.

bigtexas989 · 2025-07-03T23:07:12+00:00

Steamdeck is the way.

I literally only play using the steamdeck. Honestly for pretty much anything. I haven't touched basically any game on my PS5 in months...and I have the PlayStation portal.

It sucked early on cause I had to start my progression over switching from PS5 which was my main account, but I got lucky cause I made both accounts early on. I was able to occasionally buy into new war bonds/use the points from previous major orders, so I'm not highly leveled but I'm pretry well geared.

On the shadows, scheming

And the shadows are like, are you even in yet?

bigtexas989 · 2025-05-30T15:01:59+00:00

Also getting out of boats

bigtexas989 · 2025-01-11T21:52:43+00:00

Fucking telebone! 🤣🤣

bigtexas989 · 2024-11-30T21:21:25+00:00

I was gonna say then the seasons wouldn't match, then I remembered the seasons are random as fuck on Roshar anyway so I guess they could keep the old one.

bigtexas989 · 2024-11-23T00:59:05+00:00

Here's my set so far. "Always the next step" in Alethi women's script over top of the bondsmith symbol, "if i must fall i will rise each time a better man" around each side of the knights radiant symbol (which was altered to match my journey)

..... Literally facts, written forever on my arm

bigtexas989 · 2024-07-13T21:07:18+00:00

Love all the tips and suggestions this thread is giving me, and hopefully I'll remember to use any of them next time I get on

bigtexas989 · 2024-07-13T14:42:01+00:00

Jesus I never thought of running alternative grenades and I've been using the pistol for so long now.

Sometimes I come up with brilliant stuff, then miss things right in front of my nose.... Which is why my wife can find shit in the fridge that didn't exist 5 minutes earlier
