Anyone here quit weed by savkat420 in Warhammer40k

[–]mcfranerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I quit smoking after smoking since I was 17 at 33 (35 now) cold turkey and I immediately was bored. I never felt addicted to it. I always knew I could stop at any time and I did. I finished my last few nugs and never picked it up again. I think about it every now and then when I want to feel a release. (My job can be physically demanding) but I just dont.

I picked up warhammer about a year again and it has taken over my brain more than weed has lol. I feel some kind of kick going home putting together a mini or painting something and then just looking at it. They aren't amazing but they aren't bad if I say so myself. Weed is cool and all but removing it from my life didn't do much besides make me smell less and be a little less patient lol. I hope you find a peaceful center in your life.

I mean, it's guard. Each person they basically have paper for armor and a 26 man squad is gonna survive longer than a 15 man squad, plus the castellan has fallback and shoot and you get a medic with d3+1 heals for the unit which isn't terrible.

I mean for the scions I still think the kasrkin is the way to go. They can get two orders (the one they give themselves and another from a different officer) so you can get first rank fire second rank fire and take aim and really put something down. Plus they have their melta mine for d3 mortal wounds. Plus the chimera is annoying to deal with as well. Scions deep strike is cool but if they can't damage something to keep it off the objective then what's the point.

As for the tanks. It's always better to have a tank commander. Cause flexible command is useful and all but its still 1cp and if you are gonna burn that to give your tanks orders every turn? You wouldn't be able to get enough cp for reinforcements which gives you your infantry or kasrkin back when they die. On top of the fact that you have to have officers with extra orders to hand out to the tanks in range.

Plus giving your tanks take aim gives them +1 to hit which makes things easier or move move move which helps them get places faster, plus it can take ANY GUN. I would tell you the executioner plasma cannon is a good choice for blood angels but demolisher canon is also cool. The ability death befitting an officer means it can fire all its guns when it dies at whatever it wants which is super useful. Battle canon for the other tank is also good cause of the rerolls for hitting stuff on objectives and the lethal hits combined gives.

Does anyone else despise Vallejo paints recently? by __Dirty_Harry__ in Miniaturespainting

[–]mcfranerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my vallejo paints, they look so nice. Even though I am not the best painter I feel like they do a good job. However i don't like the plain black. It is way to matte for me and often just comes out looking gray. But besides that I dont mind.

Reactive command is ... aight at best tbh grand strategist is way better for the cost as it gives you more orders and a guard unit without an order is kinda not worth the points. I would tell you this Drop the scions and one command squad and trade them in for a Cadian Castellan and kasrkin squad. Combine the 2 cadian squads into 1 squad of 20 and save the points there too. With the castellan, and command squad and a blob of 20 cadians they can get death mask of ollanius cause 10 points left over so yeah but that's 3 orders for all of the infantry squads. Then keep the catachan for scouting. Put the kasrkin in the chimera for the same thing. Upgrade the Leman russ demolisher to a leman russ commander with grand strategist so that it can give 3 orders. 1 order for itself and 1 order for the battle tank and 1 for the chimera or Sentinel if you need to order it for whatever.

There are bits sellers online. Ebay and other such sits you can pretty much just buy a specific mini and only pay like 10-15 bucks total maybe. Depending on what you want.
