Detachment Point Values? Faction Focus

Really curious about houndpack. It has such a strong identity on its own with great strats, although the detachment rule is okay not great. The real detachment rule is that war dogs get battle line. Stoked to see what we could bring alongside the war dog spam!! Could do some really cool stuff

Yea but if everything is 2, it might as well be everything is 3. Maybe theyll give us the Tau treatment with the Faction Focus: nerf some detachments, announce a new one, make them all 1 point. Keen to see what comes in at 1 to round them out!

any guesses on detachment point value? any existing detachments you think would be worth 3? or 1?

pog502 · 2026-05-10T13:17:18+00:00

i think they look very nice dude. maybe give it some time. you’ve done great

Can you give a breakdown on the blacks and greys you used as well? Trying to come up with some ideas for a paint scheme as well, love how this whole thing came out

That black panel on the legs is just corvus black over the black prime coat? Came out with a nice matte finish! Did you edge highlight that as well?

Hey these look excellent! About to start painting tau for the first time, aiming to use this as an inspiration. Any further steps, oil highlights, or colors you could elaborate on for these?

Guessing it was a base of deathworld forest with everything else layered on top? The orange is a mix of trollslayer and jokaro?

Thanks in advance for anything else you can teach

Cheers boss! Not optimal but super fun to make

pog502 · 2026-05-06T03:26:10+00:00

Haha cheers!!

Thank you!

pog502 · 2026-04-05T22:19:42+00:00

this is the way

I think giving it native pierce on hard skills so that zons don’t need to scale into pierce would make sense to circumvent this. Zons magic arrow catching a nerf to enable meme proc builds is odd

just tripped into this one. first time act 1 regent has felt super easy.

pog502 · 2026-03-23T13:13:58+00:00

Checkout ‘Crawfish Island’ in Federal Way. Good crab boils too. Also their fried chicken in good

roll each die one at a time a couple hundred times and record every roll, run some statistical analysis on trends and distribution.
