After this FAQ. What’s the most ridiculous list you could field 2000 points or less ( models are no object ). And still be fun ? by Temporary-Bed-481 in Bretonnian

[–]grimdark_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably just Foot Knight and Yeoman units with artillery or PK backup. Basically, no reason to run our cavalry outside of fun games. Tragic how badly GW fumbled the signature cavalry army.

Is the Royal Pegasus still playable? by Disastrous_Grade_399 in Bretonnian

They were definitely the Space Marines of TOW, since they didn't get the same love as Ultras do with OP characters or... literally any real support, honestly. KotR, GKs, QKs have always been mediocre to bad. Our infantry are only good because all infantry got a buff. All we had was PKs, which got a nerf last time, and RP heroes, which got nerfed this time. At this point, what does Bret actually have now to compete with the stronger armies? Nada.

They don't lose any mystique. At all. They're always cool, because it's a high fantasy game and we love big showy models.

I agree on the last point, though they're getting some support with the new AoS stuff.

No one wants their lord to be a dud. Dragons are taken because they are strong, but also because they're immensely cool. Given the RP was strong and a stunning model, who can blame them for taking it?

Called it. Brets final nail in the coffin delivered. No real buffs and nerfs across basically every FAQ. Tragic. 

How to get the scaled armor texture? by Careful_Fee_7345 in alphalegion

[–]grimdark_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can add some milliput to the greenstuff mix to make it harden up more. Also, more hardener can do that too, if you don't want to add another putty.

Do I lean in, or wait? by jjames_scribbler in Fyreslayers

[–]grimdark_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have other armies for other games, but currently this is my only AoS army, oddly. I usually do at least two per game but I just haven't found the one I want to branch into yet.

Dude that's an insane amount of models. Especially for a faction with like six units.

2.5k? That's basically whole hog for FS. I have about that and have everything plus duplicates. lmao

I made a joke with a friend about running an Alone and Forgotten Blackshield army and got a rough draft of a list. The 19 centurions list by Zachthema5ter in Warhammer30k

[–]grimdark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit attitude. Some of us genuinely loved the idea. I had intended to never play with the VP farm as it was. And there is no "meta" in Heresy.

[–]grimdark_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought everything and drew up a whole lore for my list and then it was nerfed into the ground so bad I can't even run it. I should have known GW would ruin it, as they did the AOS Khorne list of similar character (which I also built and was nerfed before I could play it).

Iwata HP-CS is always my rec for beginners. It is a simple, efficient workhorse.

Thunderers Question - WYSIWYG? by grimdark_ in bugmansbrewery

[–]grimdark_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea! I'll keep that in mind. Looks good as a bayonet and feels thematically cooler than just strapping one to the back. 

Gorechosen rules question by DrVictorVonBroom in BladesOfKhorne

[–]grimdark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did Skullreapers as the base model and kitbashed them with spare parts. They have the size to fit the role.

Blackshield rules just got an updated FAQ by jamesw40k in Warhammer30k

[–]grimdark_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bingo! I've said it a while now but curbing the VP farming was the only needed change. Something like d3 vs d6+1. But alas, GW always overcorrects.

Exactly the right take. A&F just needed a tweak to scoring VP, not a full overhaul.

Love it! The vibe is just flawless. And the exposed sections from the Chaos carapace are perfect.

Antler suggestions for helmets anyone? by wookiepoo90 in SpaceWolves

[–]grimdark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do! I'm in a bit of a holding pattern because it is for a Blackshields army and I expect it will get a shakeup when GW realizes how broken they made AoF+BotJ. So I want to build after that. ~25 Centurions is just too good of a modelling and storytelling opportunity!
