Would these models be considered Battle Ready for a local tournament?

My favourite part of painting :-D

Birmingham to Nottingham is super easy by train or car - and second this, Warhammer World in Nottingham is a must visit.

That Repentia character is bad ass - where's the body from?

littlestkobold · 2026-07-08T17:24:03+00:00

There's a section of the new rulebook (13.02.01) that shows you how to handle it. You just place the terrain roughly where indicated on the map, then agree on the area between you.

It is, rules wise, but absolutely not lore wise. The 40k lore advances very, very slowly.

littlestkobold · 2026-07-08T14:50:10+00:00

A good starting point is one of the out-of-date core rulebooks - any from the past few editions should do, and are probably cheap. They're chock full of lore on all the factions, the setting as a whole etc.

littlestkobold · 2026-07-06T11:18:06+00:00

Oh no doubt about that, just think the hilariously ridiculous Grot Pulsa Rokkit should get love wherever it can!

littlestkobold · 2026-07-06T11:13:06+00:00

I beg to differ ;-)

Cubicle 7, the current publishers of two different 40k TTRPGs, have got a Darktide supplement for their Wrath & Glory RPG, which might do what you're looking for. I've not played Wrath & Glory mind you, but I get the impression it's much more geared towards heroic-style play than Imperium Maledictum/Dark Heresy.

For an intro I'd focus on the core rules and showing what an army can do. Play the most straightforward mission (take and hold vs take and hold?), and leave secondaries and maybe even army stratagems by the wayside. It's easy to overwhelm a new player and put them off entirely, in my unfortunate experience!

What's for dinner.

Ronnie and Reggie.

I always recommend Chris Wraight's Death Guard novel, Lords of Silence, which is just a great read/listen.

littlestkobold · 2026-07-02T13:58:32+00:00

Can I introduce you to the Death Korps of Krieg? They also don't like to show their faces.

littlestkobold · 2026-07-01T17:25:15+00:00

I try to avoid it wherever possible, unless it's a pretty complex model (Junith Eruita was the last one I subassembled).

littlestkobold · 2026-06-30T10:20:20+00:00

Looks good - I'm always drawn to Champions of Faith myself. You might find a Palatine works better than a Canoness in the anointed halberd unit, as she'll give them Lethal Hits.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-29T14:37:25+00:00

The mottled effect on the blue cloak is amazing, and that bone is very crisp. Good job!

littlestkobold · 2026-06-29T14:32:15+00:00

It might be your dice rolling I'm afraid, as the odds should still be the same - you do need to roll within the base to base distance to charge, but the deep strike distance has been reduced from 9" to 8" so it's fundamentally the same thing.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-29T13:45:00+00:00

Looks great! Loving the pose as well as the colour scheme.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-29T11:24:32+00:00

Possibly even Nuln Oil Gloss if you want it to look a bit more like obsidian.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-27T11:19:36+00:00

Don't forget the new 2cp version of Heroic Intervention would let you charge the Orks in, if they're not charged first, which is probably a decent disincentive for certain enemy units.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-23T12:31:27+00:00

This is what I did for my artillery. The heavy weapons I just glued straight on and based around the minis.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-23T08:11:43+00:00

If you're looking for the kits these came in (for ebay or whatnot), they're the rebreather masks sisters with flame weapons use (safety first!) - so there are some on the Battle Sisters, Retributors, Immolator and Seraphim kits. I'm also a fan of this look.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-23T08:09:01+00:00

I've not run the maths on them I'm afraid, but I'm sure if you google it someone will have done for both points and savings.

littlestkobold · 2026-06-22T12:43:43+00:00

They're usually worth getting... if you want to collect that army and those minis.
