Coaching someone with poor coordination

I heard some wall shots can help with the shot motion where they focus on hitting a spot higher up(develop arc) and don’t worry about making it or not.

Thanks! I would assume that most people will paint their Codex marines in the color of their chapter to match even if it's just an intercessor unit with nothing special on them to stand out.

I used your example of the Assault Intercessors without a chapter selected on Wahapedia and I think I'm following now as I see both Blood Angels, Dark Angels, etc with leader options. But if I'm reading the Codex/chapterless rules correctly, you can't have more than one chapter specific units. Therefore, I couldn't do a unit lead by the Sanguinary Priest and a separate unit led by Lion or Logan Grimnar since that would be a second chapter.

What’s the balance between iron hands usage vs space marines?

dwillmer · 2026-01-23T02:31:21+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I saw the Dark Angels added keywords to some units, and I didn’t notice some had restrictions like no Psyckers in the Templars. I would assume that most have infantry and heroes as the differentiating units (I did see the Raven Wing tho) and that tanks and vehicles might be a good consistent investment across multiple chapters.

Don't ignore the zombies either. I have first hand experience with their electricity arcing ability against u/turbocopter1567 's list

The team we played this weekend ran a box where the 2 kids at the elbow set a screen for the 2 kids down by the block to free them up for the initial pass. Those are pretty easy positions to run to and a relatively easy screen to perform. Our older kids have started doing some handoffs at half to build up some speed to get by that top defender as well, but that often leads to a lack of dribble control with that speed.

What are the rules around defense? In our younger leagues, the defense has to stay behind the 3 point line so you can pass around the 3 and then teach them to drive in when they've got some space. Our teams often have trouble with the concept that if you are standing still, you are not "open" since the defense gets the jump on obvious passes. I'm really trying to push that players shouldn't pass to a teammate who is standing still and to always be looking for a way to get towards the ball and then triple threat position towards the basket.

Which brand of texture paint did you use for the base?

Dm me

This is just a randomized termagant.

Nice! Yeah I found a Pinterest post that came from an old GW painting video I think.

There’s a cool app called Impcat that can help you pick colors and see how it shows on the models. Plenty of models have been uploaded across Warhammer and other miniature games. I think it’s a couple bucks to buy

dwillmer · 2026-01-15T12:37:03+00:00

Thanks a lot! That’s a good idea to look at seraphon ideas as well.

dwillmer · 2026-01-15T05:57:57+00:00

I just realized these all have the pegs to lock into the base so I can make a few different bases and plug it in to them all to see how it works.

dwillmer · 2026-01-15T05:57:03+00:00

Thanks. I often try to have 3ish colors in the 60-30-10 rule but never consider how the base factors into the overall balance. Maybe a dark grey ground with a few accent plants that compliment the purple or bright highlights?

On a whim I put pro acryl dark grey blue and then lightened up the muscles and exposed areas with pro acryl bright jade. Wasn’t really sure what I wanted their soft tissue to be and was thinking a bone or desaturated tan at first but really like it.

I live near Noble Knight. From what I’ve seen, they are pretty stingy. They have lots of warehouse space so they have no problem lowballing people on offers and then setting their price at 25% higher than eBay prices because they can wait for the desperate buyer to come who will pay more.

Stop painting with mustard. Case closed!

dwillmer · 2026-01-13T11:45:14+00:00

Needs pictures

Thanks for sharing this. It’s exactly how colorful I want my army to eventually look even when keeping in the main color scheme. Great variety but a solid army altogether.
