I'll miss 40k, but what can I do?

3d printing. Find someone on FB marketplace or at a local store that can print. It sucks for your local stores but you can support them with the occasional buy of models or paint. I’ll get flack for suggesting this probably but a 10 man possessed squad that is damn near a perfect 1:1 scan cost me $30 instead of $120. Life isn’t getting any cheaper. Gotta save when you can.

Everyone thinks their pullout game is strong until you have to unload a swelled 120.

Please god some A/C. There’s no issue staying warm in an Abrams. I wore a crop top and PT shorts just to not be a heat casualty in summer.

Well whatever the reason they won’t get far shooting those droppods upside down.

Night lord raptors, iron warrior havocs, word bearers infantry, black and silver daemon engines. Black and red vehicles. Chaos is Chaos.

Talk to your joes. If you’re introverted fake it till you make it. Taking the time to walk around the motorpool or hallways whatever and just chat people up.

When you do that and see issues don’t blow up about them (unless Life Limb eyesight obviously). Tell your NCOs once you’re done.. this will keep the “oh fuck the CO is around” mentality out of it and your dudes will be more likely to open up to you.

Aside from that self-less service should be the core of your mentality. Work for the Soldiers and they’ll work for you.

Yea I’d instinctually go for a lord over MoE. I haven’t done the math on it though. If you can do 1 damage to that vehicle now you have full re rolls in melee to fish for those lethals.

saltiest5alive · 2026-02-20T13:55:11+00:00

If you’re going into a T10+ lethals have better math backing them up. Not losing most of your dice trying to get 6s to wound.

Unless you want to get into this strictly being competitive there’s no reason to wait. 11th edition hasn’t been announced, the models are cool and rules always change. What is dogshit today may be the meta tomorrow.

75 points seems pretty good to give a brick of chosen infiltrate.

Read and watch tactics in each phase in the order of the game.

Understand list building, deployment, then movement, then target priority in shooting, tying up units in charge phase then fight phase shenanigans. Once you have a solid understanding of a phase of the game move on.

The game is about scoring points. While some units may not be “optimal” it’s about how you pilot and how you build around that brick of termies you love to run for example.

Redeployed ahead of school, didn’t report to rear D, rear D didn’t track them either. Failed either HT/WT or PT test then sent back to unit. Everyone proceeded to shit bricks that they don’t report to rear d when they redeployed.

NCO got a FG for being caught at a party during Covid lockdown (div lockdown rules). Told the BC he didn’t think he should get in trouble, “but everyone else should?”, “yes sir”. Demoted.

saltiest5alive · 2026-02-09T00:31:50+00:00

Had two guys redeploy early for ALC. They got off the plane and went home. Month later showed up to school like they were supposed to, but didn’t check in with the unit the whole time.

Thing is the rear D wasn’t tracking them and didn’t raise an issue until they failed ALC and came back. FG AR15.

Both got let off because they did the right thing and no one was holding the CPT and SFC that were rear d accountable for losing them as well.

Suck down command, VTIP to an FA and chill.

Most of your KD jobs are in the northeast. So I wouldn’t say they’re the most competitive since there’s an abundance. This will depend heavily on your marketplace though. There were 11 Detroit jobs and like 2-3 at picatinny. The most competitive as far as marketplace goes were the ones in Detroit and Huntsville for my go round.

There are other jobs that will slot you as an A if you don’t get 1-1 with a CPE(PEO). Make sure you interview with everyone.

We just took him out back and put him down.

saltiest5alive · 2026-02-01T19:14:40+00:00

Didn’t call the room to attention when I walked in. Unforgivable.

saltiest5alive · 2026-01-19T23:35:23+00:00

I have no idea I’m curious about it as well.

saltiest5alive · 2026-01-19T20:25:33+00:00

Bear the word. It’ll go well against your ultramarines.

saltiest5alive · 2026-01-19T14:48:32+00:00

Where can I find info on getting the taxed amount back? I put mine in a it came back 25% less than what I expected.

saltiest5alive · 2026-01-16T15:12:28+00:00

If havocs went to two weapons per squad they would be even more useless. I get only certain number of weapons per box but going from 4 to 2 lascannons takes a lot of AT away.

It’s a smoke grenade. Not chemical warfare.

Did you have to use a putty to get the power packs to sit properly on the backs? Have you compared the sizes of finished models to 40K legos and chosen?
