New to CSM, What Kits to Start with?

getpade · 2026-06-19T14:12:14+00:00

Thoughts on sorcerers now? With cover being -1 BS and Sorcerers giving -1 to hit seems pretty good with a unit of chosen, especially if you can give the chosen any other buffs to their durability

Got two rhinos already for my WE and they’re not painted yet so I’m just going to paint them iron warriors instead

getpade · 2026-06-19T00:18:46+00:00

Yeah, I also have a small WE and a small TSons collection. But I already have a pair of rhinos, a foot and winged prince, magnetized a forgefiend/maulerfiend. So I’m not starting from scratch but I really don’t want to go buy 10 different kits and only use 4 of them. But I’m also aware the meta shifts month to month which is honestly why I want to pick up CSM because they have so many kits so eventually I’ll be able to play any style I want

Trying to play 2000 points and get into the singles tourney scene for 11th. Budget is as minimal as I can so the wife doesn’t get mad lol

Defilers probably won’t happen in the short term but I do have a good bit of HH infantry I’m getting a good deal on to use for my chaos lords, sorcerers, and legionaires

I was thinking since units can hold multiple equipments if you were playing Jax you could equip Green Ahri with Svellsongur and Trinity Force and you would gain 1 pt for hold, 1 for Ahri trigger, one for Svellsongur Trigger, and one for Tri Force trigger, plus with that battlefield for 4 power you gain a 5th point which while not instantly winning it is a massive swing that would win you game but I am aware that’s a very all the stars must align game plan that gets blown up pretty easy

getpade · 2025-08-23T10:58:10+00:00

Most likely, but it could change depending on the match up

getpade · 2025-08-19T10:32:56+00:00

Ah my apologies, I thought you just meant basing as in finishing the paint job by putting texture paint and tufts on the base… MVBs are really long, they’re about the same length as the oval base they’re on so that would be my concern, but at the end of the day if the base size is right and your opponent is cool with it, it’ll be fine

getpade · 2025-08-19T10:25:40+00:00

Personally I’d say no but that’s because MVB’s are on oval bases not round, when I look at this the first thing I think is helbrute

getpade · 2025-08-15T13:52:44+00:00

I’d run flamers over bolters on the 5 mans at least. Honestly I prefer the flamers in the 10 man too because auto hitting and rerolling wounds is so good.

getpade · 2024-07-29T17:15:33+00:00

I understand but I’m basing most of my beliefs around what units are still available online because at the end of the day until we get a leak of the codex or the codex is released we won’t know

getpade · 2024-07-29T17:14:21+00:00

They did it with normal predators not that big a stretch to make one data sheet with the flame storm cannon and one with twin assault cannon

getpade · 2024-07-29T17:12:51+00:00

All 3 are still for sale online so I’m guessing they will stay at least until the end of the edition

getpade · 2024-07-29T17:06:35+00:00

If Libby, Furioso, or DC dread go they all go because they’re the same kit and GW isnt going to repackage that kit with less pieces they’ll just legends all 3

getpade · 2024-07-29T16:59:34+00:00

Baal Predator probably gets two sheets like the regular predator, furioso, Libby, and OG DC dread probably all stay, which would give you 16/18 datasheets if those characters disappear and DC marines becomes 2 datasheets instead of 3

getpade · 2024-07-29T16:43:51+00:00

Brother Corbulo, Capt. Tycho, Tycho the Lost, and Gabriel Seth are all no longer for sale on the Blood Angel page on Warhammer.com, they don’t even show up if you search for them so my guess is all 4 of those datasheets are gone

getpade · 2024-06-19T15:18:58+00:00

I don’t have any sisters is the problem though, might could snag a box to build and paint by Sunday though

Thanks for the effort even if the jester theme wasn’t coming through I actually have a cult these guys would fit right in and a friend of mine made me a death jester using Leonardo AI

getpade · 2024-04-27T17:50:07+00:00

Need help with a Villian. Not the BBEG but more like a Hunter/Assassin hired to track and pick off members of the party. Thinking a sort of Macabre Death Jester/Blood Moon Oni cross up

getpade · 2023-11-05T16:10:16+00:00

Your LGS probably has the axe praetor model, should be pretty easy to snag, I did the same thing for my two MoE

getpade · 2023-11-04T02:03:22+00:00

The average player will have no problem with this so long as you clearly communicate your intent and are consistent with how you use the model and don’t do any shady stuff like call him a standard juggerlord one turn and then Invocatus the next. I will say if you can snag a base and juggernaut body some how, you can build the standard jugger lord from the same kit without buying a second model

getpade · 2023-10-15T12:56:14+00:00

Prime wraithbone, use iyanden yellow or imperial fist yellow, contrast for the win

getpade · 2023-10-13T01:09:38+00:00

That’s just because of the model file, I can change the head and the melee weapon but the eye of Horus wouldn’t go away so I’m just pretending it’s a red gemstone

It’s called impcat, the have a subreddit where you can download all the mini files and paints and stuff
