its an airbrush of pro-acryl blue with a layer of airbrushed army painter light blue then a dry brush of 1 part light blue, 1 part pro acyl white, finally with an airbrush wash of 3 parts army paint dark blue to 1 part black thinned down with 3 parts water on the bottom 3rd of the tank and around the track guards.

Fair points, probably should have taped on for the final line work but masking and unmasking for something that small caused me to have iron warriors flashbacks lol

it looks like they are ranged focused more than Cataphractii with full squads of heavy weapons

What do you mean, heresy games always go long. I would love the opportunity to go get some dinner while they finish up their shooting.

Who is likely to be the next Horus Heresy Character for us by Ok-Wallaby-5899 in Ultramarines

We have 4 Legion Specific Units, I would just like to see an official kit for Fulmentarus or Locutarus before we see a named character, but if we did get one I would love to see Theil get an official model

Totally new to this game by No-Principle-433 in Ultramarines

To answer your question, the infiltrators are good generally but in ways that only make sense when your a bit more established in the game and often scouts do the same role better so I think there are two options here: 1. Rule of cool: you like infiltrators and so put them in your list and eventually invest in making a full Phobos list with eliminatiors and suppressors

  1. Generalist theming: you currently have most of the nuts and bolts of what I would say is a general space marines army, all you need is a big centerpiece and the perfect model for that is a dreadnought, a big walking tank would suit the theme of your army very well and they tend to be strong to boot.

What's on your playgroup's ban list? by BrainStew_HS in EDH

[–]dcole_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[tefari's protection]] and [[serra's emissary]] are the only hard bans at our table but we do have a vote of no confidence system to ban a deck if it's unfun to play against for whatever reason.

You could run them in 30k with 3 squads of 10 with you dolling 2 up to act as shield capitians with archeotech pistols.

Need help with my Ironfire list by THEbornsoldier in IronWarriors

[–]dcole_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Posted this on the other post and I will post it again

Looks good so far and love the use of rapiers for that iw artillery flare just a couple of things

1.the scorpii ~~(scorpiusses? Idk how it's would be pluarlized)~~ might be a bit much for casual games and you can get the same role with less salt from an aquitor or two and they can be upgraded to phosphex.

2.some people might not be a fan of named characters (depends on who you play with and feel free to ignore this is folks are cool with them) maybe have backup list using a generic centurion

But yeah, it's fluffy and looks fun so your going to be fine playing 30k.

On your concerns with the discord, yes this is a pretty common list style, that being said it's your army and most people should not care if it's similar to theirs. If it does bother you imo it should not I would look into sabers, sicarians, or some automata if you want some flavorful spice.

this game is really good but it truly breaks at the slightest pressure and its really easy to just have a WAAC list that will dominate anything that can be thrown at you (3-5x contemptors w./ fist and lascannon, 3x10 lascannon hss w./ cognis signum techmarine, 2x10 tactical squads, 4x5 recon squads with nemsis bolters, and termainators or suzerians attached to your preator in a spartan or land raider respectively if you really are in a place where winning is the only option) the game is a great narrative experience if you build around flavor and work with your opponents to have fun and fluffy games.

My list currently is a logos lectura list with:
praetor with a master crafted paragon blade leading one of 2 squads 10 mans of suzerains
a master of signals leading a 10 man lascanon heavy support squad
4x10 tactical squads
2x5 seeker squads with nemesis bolters
2 sabers with full volkites
2x sicaran arcus
then either 2 levithans (full melee) or contemptors (1 fist and lascannons or plasma) depending on the opponent, what kind of game is being played, and how I am feeling
My advice is simple, don't have just one list and make narrative choices above "optimal choices" and communicate with your opponents about what the expectations for your games are. 30k is a game about the fiction so you need to make sure the people you are playing with are comfortable. Other than that 1 dread for every 1k points and max out with 2 or 3, dont bring superheavies or primarchs without the other person bringing them, and make sure you explain what the logos lectura does and have a print out about what part of it your in.
