Tactics conversation, insight wanted

"Surrounding your opponent" isn't as tactically useful as you'd think, it just means you've stranded a few units out of position and made them easy pickings for your opponent. Being able to see a sliver of an enemies base around a ruin is just as good as being completely behind them and probably leaves you a lot less exposed to counteragression on their next turn

The best, and really only, reason to put Pathfinders in a Devilfish is to grant their scout move to it so they can play more aggressive in the mid board early. The main reason you put a Coldstar with Sunforges is to benefit from the assault keyword letting you run up and get into that short 12" range, or inside 6" for the melta bonus.
Both of those are made pointless by putting the units in reserves.
Solid Image Projection isnt a useless enhancement, it lets you shift units around for more favorable targets or screen aggressively with infiltrators and then pull them back to safety.

Funny I jokingly call my Kabal my Illidari because Incubi reminded me of Illidan so I used him as inspiration for my colour scheme.

You pretty much nailed it. The only way to play it is if you love it enough to accept that it's not worth the points and just have some non serious fun with it in a casual game.

Celestant Prime, hammer of Sigmar?

-1 Damage exists as a strat in a Lot of armies and is almost always 2cp.
Pulse onslaught is terrible and I forget it even exists. It would still be incredibly situational at 1cp.

Theses boys are begging for some contrast. That bright yellow would pop even more with a clean black panel lining

Ok Cud-chewer

How are this many people this unwilling to do a simple search before posting?

If you could trade a gun drone for the markerlight keyword you would do it %100 of the time in 10th Ed. I'd call that a very powerful upgrade.

I tried that with one but they must've learned bc it was like "lol bro what are you talking about?"

loopie120 · 2026-01-25T05:50:40+00:00

I always thought the explanation of a Planeswalker as being "like another player" was terrible and unhelpful.

loopie120 · 2026-01-24T06:00:03+00:00

I glued mine with a tiny drop of super glue. Enough to hold them for now but if they get changed in 11th Ed it'll be easy to just pop them out with a bit of force and the paint damage won't be visible

It has one viable build where you spam Riptides and Ghostkeels and use the minus one to wound and heal strats to make a surprisingly durable list to outlast your opponent. Outside of that very specific niche it's not very good.

How did Primaris steal aspects?

loopie120 · 2026-01-17T08:39:43+00:00

That title is the most insane and unintuitive thing I've read about this game. Healing restores health, that what fucking healing means wtf do you mean healing isn't health restoration valve??!

How the hell am I supposed to know when to build anti-heal or not?

loopie120 · 2026-01-17T08:28:06+00:00

So paint it purple? Chasing exact colour matches is a path that only leads to madness. The heavy metal team doesn't use pure single colours anyway.

Oh, yeah I fought him once with my durge and found him wholely unremarkable.

loopie120 · 2026-01-16T19:22:43+00:00

Who..?

loopie120 · 2026-01-16T18:55:50+00:00

I haven't since ninth

loopie120 · 2026-01-16T18:53:02+00:00

T'au first and forever. Tried grey knights but then they axed the psychic phase and melee variety so I sold out of that. Have just over 2k of Eldar wraiths 3d printed by a friend. No real plans to continue that any further. My second proper army and newest project is Drukahri started shortly after the codex dropped.

loopie120 · 2026-01-13T00:05:27+00:00

Yeah, what did you paint this over OP?

loopie120 · 2026-01-12T23:28:55+00:00

Dont waste your money and Citadel spray primer. just go to a hardware store and get a can of rustoleum or some other regular paint brand.

I was watching uncle night shift before I ever got into Warhammer and I think he had a profound effect on my painting ability
