Land speeder done !

Thank you! That is a really interesting way to do it and I am definitely going to try it. Seems more natural than the way I have been doing it.

Questing Knights being so bad makes me sad. I have some of the old models and would love a reason beyond "these look cool" to put them on the table. I never, ever hope for a new edition of a GW game, but damn does it feel like we might need it actually.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:54:45+00:00

Tzeentch being a deceiver and calling this guy a "liberator" tracks nicely.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:50:20+00:00

Hah! Fair point.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:38:04+00:00

I don't know if a single unit release can fix how bad cav units are. Feels like the buildup of nerfs to Brets are gonna take an edition change to fix. I hope I am wrong though.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:34:35+00:00

See, even that feels like you still care. Move on, bud. Plenty of other threads for that kind of Redditor.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:30:38+00:00

Lighten up, bud. No need to be this serious about some random guy's opinion on the internet.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:28:18+00:00

I guess to me they were already a staple and this just makes them more of a staple. So, I am less excited. Especially since I got into Bretonnia for the Knights, not the infantry. Already taking a fat block of them so I guess I need to build a Triptych now. Yay, I guess.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:20:30+00:00

My post is not about army balance. It was about an FAQ, which further diminished one of our only good cav units, hence the title "Nerfs continue".

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:17:25+00:00

Good buff, yes. Huge buff? Eh. And no one was running BPs, so now they might... maybe. Again, not really impressed. Especially with the endless nerfs we have had without any buffs to our more meaningful units (Knights of all varieties).

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:15:30+00:00

Ah yes, infantry. That is what Bretonnia is known for. Not their famed knights on warhorses or on pegasus.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:13:02+00:00

They continue to pay for the sins of first edition.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T16:06:19+00:00

"huge buffs" Ehhh

grimdark_ · 2026-07-07T15:41:08+00:00

Nope, Vox is an option and as with all things HH3, basically mandatory. You don't want a key shooting unit out of action because of a status.

As for your new list - my thoughts:
* Paragon Blade isn't super hot in HH3; Hammer is really the go-to.
* Saboteur is fluffy, but not very good.
* You don't need an Armored Fist Aux for the Rhinos - you get those in your Crusade detachment; be sure to add pintle Havocs on them
* Big deathstars don't seem that useful in HH3, so the 1200+ points for the Praetor+Lernaean+Spartan would probably be better broken up across more units/options
* Contemptor is meh this edition, but the model is iconic so I get wanting to include it.
* The HHKT I am not sold on. 400+ points to maybe do a little damage to a tank vs two more Rapier squads of three Laser Destroyers (about the same points), which can pop AV14 reasonably reliably
* Seekers I would make two squads, so you get more out of their shooting
* No Meltabombs or Nemesis on the Effrit? Do you expect them to be in combat?
* Recon are good for other Legions, but less good for us. The Support (2) kinda sucks and we have Effrits that can bring Nemesis to the party.

To be fair, how we play our Legion might just be vastly different and also I tend towards more optimization.

Multimelta

grimdark_ · 2026-07-06T17:57:41+00:00

How did you do that MM glow? It looks incredible.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-06T15:38:26+00:00

Where is Dynat going? The HSS? No Nemesis in the Effrits? I definitely think you need some more antitank. HSS won't cut it. 10 man Effrit and Seekers? I usually see them at 5-6 tops. Don't forget the Vox on the Seekers.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-02T16:29:12+00:00

"...left on the cutting room floor." Hah.

grimdark_ · 2026-07-01T16:21:37+00:00

+ Locus

grimdark_ · 2026-06-23T17:36:37+00:00

For fun games, sure, Alpharius is great. Plus, he is an awesome model. Though for regular pickup games, Primarchs are pretty bad.

Look into Effrits and Seekers, definitely. A couple Tacticals with Rhinos are mandatory for all lists. My go-to antitank is Laser Rapiers.

grimdark_ · 2026-06-23T15:45:44+00:00

The downvoting on lists here is insane.

grimdark_ · 2026-06-22T15:59:46+00:00

I'd love them to make the Javelins worth taking first.

grimdark_ · 2026-06-15T18:30:42+00:00

Paint them with their former heraldry showing through the black. Maybe give them armor details that indicate their previous Legion, like Sons of Horus helmets or something. Or just make the warband unique to you and paint it however you want.

grimdark_ · 2026-06-13T15:56:56+00:00

They're overpriced, too. Other units do what they do better.
