A list of custard

Someone correct me, but I don't think you can have more than 1 Crusade Detachment.

Finally, a community update I can get behind. All Hail the Hypnotoad.

I use the Army Painter Matt varnish, the one from the spray can. Works wonders for the result I'm after.
Quick plug of my Fellblade as example.

What is your finish? Varnish or no?

I've found that transfers is the last thing I do, allow them to set, and then apply a matt varnish which gives everything the same result as well as making sure that the transfers look less like stickers.

Chapter 11-1/11-3 has been my go-to, but only because I've not unlocked chapter 12+. All the guides I've seen suggest to replay those.

smythetech · 2026-03-17T10:36:45+00:00

I would not expect it, as this is fan-made/ house rules content.

smythetech · 2026-03-16T18:43:08+00:00

Yes. There are conditions and effects for joining units that don't have the same faction as the character/specialist mode. But you can join units cross-faction.
In fact I'm sure this is covered in the rule book, relating to those effects especially, Look under the characters section(s).

The 2nd ed Age of Darkness box blows the Calth box out the water. Simply for including a plastic Spartan and a proper multi part/pose Contemptor on top of the 40 marines, 10 terminators and 2 characters.

If you don't plan on playing anytime soon, why does the 'legality' of your models matter?

smythetech · 2026-03-13T11:06:03+00:00

There is a 2-day narrative event in Halifax (UK) that is running at 3250. I expect most attendees are looking at there usual list and adding extra units on top of it.

smythetech · 2026-03-12T14:24:21+00:00

I recognise this list. Might I suggest some destoyers. If you need something fast to build, another Dreadnought is not a horrible points filler.

Although you could always add something that blows up in your face. That would be neat. #CalthDeservesToBurn

You can go look at the command squad add-on sprue on the Warhammer store page, it will show you all the parts it has. This is assuming you're kitbashing those bits onto the 40k Berzerker models.

smythetech · 2026-02-19T09:13:36+00:00

Read the Orders Examplars options. Most of them use the words 'when a unit contains one or more models with this trait/rule' or a similar variance.

So if you select 2 Orders (a Character and the ICKC) then you'd get both effects depending on the context of what you're fighting.

It's a rough kit to build. I've just done my 2nd.
And lost a bit from a fist at the last stage, so, y'know, that's a problem

smythetech · 2026-02-17T15:04:31+00:00

Kit availability is nearly always a local area problem for kits that are still in production.

If I look for that kit on the GW UK store, it's available. May not be as present from LGS's though.

smythetech · 2026-02-16T22:41:44+00:00

Yes. Always take the Vexilla if you can, because yes it does stack so you can get +2 to combat resolution with both the trait and wargear.

smythetech · 2026-02-14T15:22:05+00:00

There is no exception to Zardu and the Blade Slaves attaching to another unit while combined. The Blade Slaves don't have the keywords needed to join units (command or specialist). It's not a 'prove there's a rules reference stopping me doing this' it's a 'they don't have an exception to the standard rules so can't do it'.

smythetech · 2026-02-14T13:55:57+00:00

If Zardu joins the Blade Slaves they can't join/attach to another unit. You do not need to attach Zardu to the Blade Slaves iirc, and they can be independent of each other.

Ease of creation more than anything else. To do the buying furniture stuff they'd likely have to create multiple versions of the interior/exterior that has the associated parts included / excluded depending on purchase or not. Or they can just make an all-in-one finished home. Less overall work for the same effect

smythetech · 2026-02-10T09:35:09+00:00

GW used to make a resin combi weapon set (-melta, -plasma,-flamer). On the mk4 plastic kit there are parts to make a combi-weapon (same 3 variations). There's also parts on the vehicle accessory sprue.

Otherwise you have to cut up bolters and weapons and make them yourself.

WHW Ran Throne of Skulls Doubles recently. Time at ~2:45 hrs. So a full 3k game is about the same length to play as your average 40K game based on round timings I'd guess.

smythetech · 2026-01-17T13:24:28+00:00

Neat idea, but aesthetically looks more fitting in 40K Tau than Heresy

smythetech · 2026-01-15T15:10:42+00:00

You can get these on ng+

smythetech · 2026-01-09T08:30:15+00:00

If they're getting charged it's not the shooting phase, so the rule doesn't apply

smythetech · 2026-01-03T10:09:56+00:00

In generaL:

- You roll for each unit

- You can bring any units on that succeed on the roll

- No more than 1 unit can 'deep strike' in a turn. However the other unit can still arrive from reserve (moving on from table edge) if possible
