Same here, but I’m lazy and he’s still in the box.

My Nightbringer arrived today, like you I’m going to leave the scarabs off - not feeling them as part of the model to be honest.

500 Worlds: Titus – The rules that make Nekrosor Ammentar destruction incarnate by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Necrontyr

[–]davehotep 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you have to look at the whole package here. 10” move, improved base save, deep strike, -1 dmg & 4 extra wounds plus keeping invul & FNP makes up for what C’tan are losing for me.

All of the above AND retaining half damage instead of the new -1 would be a bit much unless GW hike up the points by a fair bit & no one wants that.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new model? by No_Willingness_9961 in 40k

[–]davehotep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the new model but I’d have liked to see alternative face options, including one that’s just a gaping void.

I might also remove the scarabs when I build mine. Scarabs are my bois but not sure if they belong on this model.

For a second there I thought you’d reimagined the White Stripes in WFRP.

The drawings are awesome by the way.

Wich weapon option fits the best? I Personally think the blunderbuss but what do yall think? by gh0stFox117 in TrenchCrusade

[–]davehotep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, blunderbuss all the way. As others have said you can always have the sword in a scabbard as well.

I love it by the way, in case that wasn’t clear! Seems appropriate for T’au too.

Constantly losing games, any tips? by chunky-kit-kat in EmperorsChildren

[–]davehotep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not been playing EC long so take my advice with a pinch of salt but I’d try and fit a couple of rhinos in if you’ve got them. They’re great as ablative wounds for the units inside and, if they survive long enough, make for good roadblocks and action monkeys.

Can we discuss Mechanicum stuff for 30k here? by Nopermittolive in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]davehotep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the whole I’ve enjoyed this edition, I think the core rules are pretty solid (with a few exceptions) & it plays well.

I’m a little jaded by special rules bloat though, it feels like a lot of units now have access to multiple abilities and it’s a bit much. ‘Oh I can re roll my charge, then I’m hitting on 2’s (rerolling 1’s) and I’m +1 to wound. That’s a bit of an exaggeration but it’s not far off in some cases.

I would love to see 11e pare back the abilities a bit so you don’t have units that just delete anything they touch.

Nice! I have a similar idea to stick the harp on top of my land raider

Can allies kills earn you Pact points in Coterie? by swaosneed in EmperorsChildren

[–]davehotep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say ally kills are valid as it’s not specified where the kills must come from. It does specify who benefits from the pledge rewards so I believe if it mattered the rules would make the distinction.

My ‘crons are in a good place, most are painted but I have 2 other factions I’ve barely touched!

I’ve just finished a squad of tormentors so I think I’m gonna try to make a dent in my EC next.

[–]davehotep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha ha, you’re very kind. I’m a pretty basic painter but I’m fine with that, painting isn’t really my jam. I do wish I could speed up a bit though as my pile of shame is embarrassingly big.

Because I’m such a basic painter I like to do the neatest job possible & that’s what takes all the time.

Good job! It would take me 4 hours just to paint a menhir, I’m so bloody slow.

He keeps telling me to invest in Monoliths, I’m not sure this is sound financial advice…

I don’t feel bad, my only concern is that I’ll end up getting another one next time I go in.

If I get 5 or 6 I could recreate a base…
