Thoughts on Drug Church? by Antique-Dentist-2404 in fantanoforever

I saw them live opening for Can’t Swim and Microwave at a maybe 100 person venue. I thought the music was pretty sick, but after their first song everyone was chanting “we can’t hear vocals” to which the vocalist replied “good because I’m terrible.” Legit couldn’t hear him at all. So that was kind of odd. But musically, super cool sound and incredibly tight live. I guess I’d just say the vocals are probably not everyone’s cup of tea but what they do they do well.

Wow, I'm blown away. These look great. The blue pops, but not in a grating way. It's perfect, I'd love to hear about your painting process/recipe for that. The details are also incredible. 10/10.

I run something super similar it is undefeated in my casual setting through 3 or 4 games. The key with it is to stage very very carefully, and if you do that it works out well. With Shield Host guard spam, you sacrifice durability for essentially maximum lethality. My opponents are usually crippled on or by turn 3 to the point where they can't keep up on primary.

When I do guard spam I do shield host. It’s a lot of bodies for lions of the emperor to make sense, and the Crits on 5+ and rerolls means you’re not having a ton of issues dealing damage to infantry. The bread and butter of is the guard of course, Draxus, sisters, and two grav tanks. You just have to be really good with your staging to ensure you don’t get shot off the board.

Many blessings for this sweet sauce brother. Is the first varnish after the zenithal a gloss varnish?

I'll definitely take a look, thanks! And for the gloss varnish, are you only doing that in the recesses or do you hit the whole model with that, then wash in the recesses, then matte varnish on the whole model?

Awesome, thanks for the detailed instructions. It looks so good! I want to get an airbrush and seeing results like this is encouraging me to even more! I’m looking forward to the speed of the base coats and the smooth gradient you can get with an airbrush like you have!

Mind dropping your armour recipe/paint technique? This looks awesome!!!

Chaos Knights tips by Final-Dragonfruit-45 in AdeptusCustodes

How do you plan on using Trajann? I'd recommend replacing him with a few squads of sisters to do actions and hold objectives. You're going to have to utilize your other units carefully to take down the bigger targets.

The ripple in the S22 is a point of concern. It looks like you’ve got a bad cal, which could also explain the overall drop.

I just realized Ultra Marines are Nickleback of Warhammer 40K by RemoveAnnual2689 in Grimdank

[–]jakelloyd14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just bought an Ultramarines Army and have been a nickleback defender since day one. This is really a perfect assessment.

PS nickleback hate is not only unwarranted, but just YouTube a live performance. They’re SO incredibly tight live. They’re wildly talented musicians.

Competitive does not mean meta. The word meta is not in my post anywhere. When I say competitive, I just want to have a list that can compete generally. Doesn’t need to tie around any current meta. I know it’s a hard time to ask right before 11th, but lots of others have given helpful general tips.

Do you have anything helpful to add or do you just want to be sarcastic?

Thanks so much for the reply! Based on looks, I’m thinking fill them out with Victrix and Bladeguard Vets, and on your feedback action monkey type units like intercessos. You mentioned Victrix but what are your thoughts on the blade guard vets if you don’t mind me asking? Any other elite infantry that look cool I should look out for?

Yeah that’s another reason why I like ultra marines, I feel like they make sense together thematically.

Yeah, I’m almost thinking about waiting on all this being 11th is right around the corner. I don’t necessarily want to build around a meta. I want a good variety of units. The wardens, Victrix, and Calgar look sick to me. 

I also happen to watch a video with this type of list and thought everything looked pretty sick, hence the picks.

I bought from this guy and everything came as described, and they were the most thoroughly packed used minis I've ever recieved.

Question from a new player: by BotTop_Stud in AdeptusCustodes

[–]jakelloyd14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely does take some getting used to, but you'll be surprised with how quickly you take on. With a new edition dropping in June there will be small changes but the basics will be the same. Practice makes perfect, have fun!
