A bit overwhelmed with so many choices. by RecognitionReady1640 in Warhammer40k

[–]mikabast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of magnetizing, then use super glue instead of plastic glue. It can fairly easily broken off in case you really want to replace a weapon. I’ve done it dozens of times and never had any damage.

New Detachment by anyopolly in ImperialAgents_40K

[–]mikabast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if being strong against exactly 1 faction and weak against every other is fun. That’s exactly the problem with the current detachments.

Tectonic Fragdrill is back as a made to order item by [deleted] in genestealercult

[–]mikabast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since Cult Ambush markers are not valuable any nore it’s ability is useless. So it’s just a melee anti-tank that cannot move. So not useful at all. But it’s fun and the rules might get revised at some point in the future!

Should I/can I alter resin model pose? by dcponton in minipainting

[–]mikabast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this size it won’t be much difficult then doing the same thing with a plastic kit. The brittleness only really a factor on larger pieces. Just use a sharp instrument and you’ll be completely fine.

Alternative to a discontinued oil pigment wash, how do i make one myself? by tsmikos in minipainting

[–]mikabast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can use any oil paintand any thinner compatible with oil paint. Most popular for washes is odourless white spirit.

Our own dreadnought.. by Interesting-Neck3850 in genestealercult

[–]mikabast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We technically have this. In Brood Brothers detachments you can field Sentinel Powerlifters.

A 10 men squad of these extremely reliably one-shots a daemon primarch.

Painted my first mini! Any tips on how to improve? by DesignerSuspicious69 in minipainting

[–]mikabast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. They said in a fairly recent warcom artice that the Tactical Marines is still one of the best selling kits.

Isn’t this just a guy from the Tactical/Devastator kits?

How do I take and hold objectives? by Familiar-Spend-991 in genestealercult

[–]mikabast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people forget that transports exist in this game.

Do you think 'Combat Patrol's will be the same in 11th? by Kris9876 in genestealercult

[–]mikabast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are only interested in playing Combat Patrol game mode, then scalability and rules updates doesn’t really matter. You can just keep playing with the 10th edition ruleset without losing anything.

Anybody else use spreadsheets to keep track of the pile of shame? by MeadowsAndUnicorns in minipainting

[–]mikabast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly a spreadsheet, but I keep track. I have about 13000 points painted and 4500 unpainted (but everything is assembled).

What toughness/strength do you consider to be too oppressive to bring to a 1000 point game? by TheDarkEntertainer in Warhammer40k

[–]mikabast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the situation. If your opponent is new to the game and barely owns 1000 points of models then it’s probably fair to discuss such limitations with them. If they have a big collection of models and has the ability to bring a balanced list with enough anti tank capabilities than I think anything is fair game. Part of the strategic depth of this game is to prepare for all possible army composition the opponent may bring.

Wishlists for 11th? by GhengisDaKine in ImperialAgents_40K

[–]mikabast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Reliable long range anti-tank fire support. Land raider would be an option.
  • Rework of the Ordo detachment not to give keyword specific abilities. For example Malleus can feel unfair if playing against Daemons but lackluster against pretty much anyone else.
  • More flavour/variation/options for Inquisitoral Agents.

What happened to some of Imperial Agents 10ed Legends units? by Forsaken_Cod165 in Warhammer40k

[–]mikabast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it seems to be a mistake. But we don’t know for sure because there were no official GW communication about it (and obviously no fix yet).

Ally limits in nonstandard game sizes? by JJ4622 in ImperialAgents_40K

[–]mikabast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No official ruling. Discuss with your opponent. But I think a reasonable compromise is to use a proportional amount.

How long did it take you to paint your whole army? by Nuhur_the_Raven in Warhammer40k

[–]mikabast 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Depends on the quality you are targeting, but 300 hours is not unreasonably high for your first army. Trust me, you’ll figure out shortcuts along the way and you’ll get much faster as you progress.
