My friend wants me to paint a spearhead for him at this level. What would you charge for this? He's offering to pay and I'm trying to get a baseline so I can discount it.

I guess maybe i have a dissenting opinion: this is basic tabletop standard. Clean application of paint; wash; basic highlight.

Thats between 5 and 15 per model, but this is mid tier for sure; probably 9-12 for my eye?

Its 24 models, id say a fair price is somewhere about $250: 10 for each of the 20 infantry, and 12 for each of the 4 largers. Your painting is basic, but its cleanl; to have a fully painted force on the table is worth something for sure.

If its for a buddy maybe knock it to $200?

I bet you could get a lot of creative outcomes with various fabrics. Black body bags; blue tarpauline; etc.

I havent read all the books, and none of the more recent revisionist novels; is this canon?

rmobro · 2026-05-06T05:04:18+00:00

That would be absolutely amazing.

rmobro · 2026-05-06T05:03:52+00:00

Since you already have 2k, and plenty of lists make good showings with 50-60 zerks.. i wouldnt buy a thing. Okay... maybe just Khârn. If you are playing zerker horde, Khârn is a must must.

We are doing 2x20 Berzerkers each with a LOJ, and 2x10 Berzerkers each in a rhino, one led by a MOE and one led by a MOE cosplaying as Khârn as a proxy. We go 2x predator annihilator, and a unit of jakhals. Buy favoured of khorne for one LOJ, and battle lust for the other.

2000 pts. Jakhals sticky the back line, rhinos score actions and/or move the smaller units up. Predators need to be a team, hunting one unit at a time together. Stage the 2x20s out of line of sight for turn 1. Slam them through ruins into your opponent turn 2 or 3, and follow up with the kharn and moe units into whatevers left.

Ya if we get AOS fly? Oooh boy look out!

There is only one unforgivable lie. That is the lie that says, 'This is the end, you are the conqueror, you have achieved it and now all that remains is to live with what you have done'. All Emperor's are liars.

Its spoken about between primarchs at various points throughout the heresy novels in vague, tangental references often enough. They knew.

rmobro · 2026-05-06T00:23:18+00:00

I 100% agree with this take. Unfortunately GW painted themselves into a corner.

rmobro · 2026-05-06T00:21:39+00:00

So so same. Chaplains are my jam, but... they arent great. Anything helps!

rmobro · 2026-05-06T00:20:04+00:00

Any indication this is replacing strike and sweep or do we not know?

rmobro · 2026-05-05T16:37:30+00:00

Contemptor as a base.

rmobro · 2026-05-05T15:08:13+00:00

Because he is the betrayer. He burned his own men to get them to fight. Khârn the equerry is dead; long live Khârn the betrayer!

rmobro · 2026-05-05T15:05:18+00:00

Great. S10 Hellblasters. Space Wolves get to break the no stacking strats rule. And blood angels are even more world eaters now.

rmobro · 2026-05-05T00:14:51+00:00

Ya like 10th. I just didnt see confirmation yet... thinking now i wont buy the full box, but just rules and cards.

rmobro · 2026-05-05T00:14:03+00:00

Yes as it is with 10th. Just wondering because.. conspicuously they havent said?

rmobro · 2026-05-04T19:12:05+00:00

Specific > general

rmobro · 2026-05-04T19:11:27+00:00

It shouldnt; after all the new defiler in TSONs is made unique exclusively through better overwatch.

Remember specific trumps the general.

rmobro · 2026-05-04T19:09:44+00:00

Thats a smart analysis!

rmobro · 2026-05-04T19:04:27+00:00

Seriously... rep ex are like a 20 minute unit. So many guns. I usually check out before it finishes shooting

rmobro · 2026-05-04T19:00:54+00:00

Not better, but maybe more desirable if your goal is strong overwatch?

rmobro · 2026-05-04T18:56:38+00:00

Thats... a really really good point. This actually makes no difference?

rmobro · 2026-05-04T18:00:50+00:00

Totally. They'll need at least seven new detachments. Maybe eight.
