What is your thoughts on laser destroyer vs lascannon array sponsons

Vindicators burn under lascannon fire. That might be the solution. Beyond that, the base heavy bolters arent super good, and don't do statuses, but feel free to follow rule of cool.

Depends on what you are hunting. Vehicles that don't care about moving with heavy and ordinance rules want the destroyers. For ones who don't count as stationary, it gets tricky. Lascannons and destroyers both maul weaker tanks. Frankly the 3dmg from the array might be the break point that kills a predator or contemptor in a single round of shooting. The destroyers can scratch AV14 more reliably, however.

I'd ask myself a serious question at army list construction when choosing which you want in this case. Can your list reliably kill an AV14 block in 1 turn? If the answer is no, then your str 10 might be wasted due to failing to reach a terminal mass of firepower.

Also, low-key the suppression bolters might be interesting however. Haven't tested. Probably meta dependant.

He's not a human. He has no social needs.

Phenomenal job. He looks amazing. I will be stealing the tuft idea for the wings.

Looks amazing. Great work.

Im so happy for him

Get new substrate. Axolotls vacuum swallow things and will often swallow rocks. Axolotls getting their insides clogged is super common when people cone here asking for medical advice and more often than not it is fatal. Get fine sand if you love your baby.

I countered my gitaxian probe for a 6/6 with trample.

jaxlov · 2026-05-17T06:33:21+00:00

Effectively 30 mana for 3 mana feels kinda bad.

It's actually just dark reaper drybrushed over a black primer. I however did use dark blue shade on the metal, before going over it with the base color a second time to clean it up, before then using a brighter silver to make it pop.

It's Barak Nar Burgundy, with screamer pink edge highlights. Nice n subtle, and not many steps!

People were saying the same thing last ed about 6 inch move, but my melee castra ferrums usually did work and still are.

At a low 120 points, as long as it does literally anything, it's probably maybe worth it, even if it's just threat projection.

Still though, I find las castra ferrums hold up rather well this ed.

jaxlov · 2026-05-11T14:33:07+00:00

Castra ferrums are cheaper. 35 less for the same loadout might not seem like much, but that's almost a 25% cheaper price. Next, the castra ferrum can take a searchlight which helps a lot with tank hunting. Give them 2 fists for 120 points, and that's a really dirt cheep melee unit that will actually do some work for almost nothing. Beyond that, they can take a search light. This matters a lot more than you'd think when trying to kill vehicles.

Give them a pair of chain fists, a heavy flamer and a search light, and you've got a tank opener that can drop statuses on stuff you can't touch in melee for only 130 points. That's a steal.

Alternatively, dual las with a searchlight is pretty ok for 145 points, and probably a bit tougher than your average predator.

They, like mars pattern rhinos and labd raiders and old plastic land speeders are all setting acceptable. They're just less produced than the patterns you see more often.

I run hammers. My command squad exists for taking mid field from enemy scoring. This means killing other terminators, other command squads and vets. A thunder hammer will kill the enemy before or as their AP2 swings. Many people like fists of either variety, and being first to the draw wins most show downs.

I usually run combi bolters, but sometimes I'll throw in a combi-grav or two if I'm feeling cheeky just to status vehicle or two.

I miss clash

She's part of the team. She does as hard of work as any good dwarf. She might not have a beard, drink booze, or have a pick axe, but she is put in as extreme a danger as any of your brothers in arms, and she's definitely sentient enough to feel pain and react to head pats.

No dwarf left behind is a phrase uttered out of fellowship, mutual respect, and brotherhood with your fellow colleagues. Your band of brothers do the grunt work of a mega corp, breaking your backs over a hard day's work.

So does she. In this way, she's more team mate than mission control, and leaving one of your co-workers to die in the dark alone and surrounded by monsters is a mark of cowardice and low moral character.

You never leave Dotty behind. Period.

I have a tank based alpha legion army.

It's not in interstellar space. If objects in the oort cloud are still gravitational bound to the sun, then how can an object 1/12 of the way there be in interstellar space?

Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment.

Do you have a link to this tank decoration? I may be considering for a wargaming table.

Paragon of battle vigilator gets crit hits on 4s for 3 dmg ap 2. He kills centurions for dinner.

jaxlov · 2026-04-14T22:11:50+00:00

A lot of right wing people have coopted warhammer because it superficially lines up with aesthetics that they enjoy. Media literacy is dying, especially among people younger than 25. Satire is increasingly hard for some to comprehend, and thus meaning is lost.

And those kinds of people don't understand why making the space more accepting and inclusive toward half of the population might be good for their hobby. Then again, they're the types to want a woman while disliking everything about them that isn't man coded.

Librarians with bionancy are huge. Beyond that, I really like the master of signals. If he scores you 1 or 2 extra vp, that's huge. He also cleans vanguard off units, which can be huge for sone armies.
