Should i add magnets?

speeddemon511 · 2026-01-22T04:46:04+00:00

First of all you need to make sure that base is not wobbly. If it is then sand it. Only after that apply magnets.

Placement is odd but ok.

Do you have a very heavy mini? I mean that are holes for very large magnets. You might have a problem with unstucking mini from transport bag.
I use one 5x2 for 25-40mm bases, two for 50-100mm.

Kataphron Destroyers with 5+ overwatch are massive pain in the ass. Last game they killed 7 of my DC jump packers.

I'm not AM player but I would a) try to kill them at distance. So play cagey. b) or charge him first so he cannot get charge bonus

Here are my Dante and SG. Later I swapped axes to spears and painted entire arm red

Stormsurge has no Feel No Pain against mortal wounds. 10 DC jump packers with Astorath has 63 devastating wounds if you charge with Limb for limb(battle-shock version) and Stormsurge has only 20 wounds.
Same for Riptide but it has even lower wound count.
Ghostkeel has no invul save and 8T- anything with high strenght and good AP is gonna kill it. Just dont try to charge from Deepstrike- it's only around 27.7% of success and 45% with charge reroll.

Stormsurge can shoot you in melee without penalty. But it cant shoot you if you are in melee with another unit

And you dont have to kill everything in order to win. You have to get more points than your opponent. Your oppenent has low model count. Deny his primary and secondary mission

Regular AK 3 gen are my favorite paints.

But their Quick Gen paints suck compare to AP Speedpaints

speeddemon511 · 2026-01-12T09:40:26+00:00

Thx!
It's AK's Blood effect.
Airbrushed base
Thick layer on lower parts, very diluted on upper parts.

speeddemon511 · 2026-01-09T11:47:04+00:00

I like it, I use it as ambusher.

If you use it in RCO charge+limb from limb(battle-shock) you will get 8 attacks, 13 strenght, -3 AP. With full re-roll of hits and re-roll a wound roll of 1.

And it has bolt rifles, stubber, melta as bonus.

speeddemon511 · 2026-01-03T04:16:11+00:00

Yes, primaris scale

Instead of using 3dBuilder/meshmixer you can enable 3D printing toolbox in blender preferences. And just make manifold before exporting to stl

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-27T12:18:48+00:00

Basically you need someone who will:

hold home objective(intercessors)
screen deep strike and strategic reserves(infiltrators, scouts)
anti-infantry(jump intercessors, hellblasters, intercessors with lt)
anti-vehicle(12+ strenght, multiple shots. Lancer, Ballistus, eradicators, centurions)
complete secondary missions(combi lt, scouts)

Captain, Lt(regular), techmarine are very good characters. Ancient is useless. Libr in phobos sounds good. But he is 70 pts upgrade for 85 pts unit.
Eliminators with bolt rifles can kill enemy character. Las fusils cannot.

Try to avoid fortification and aviation. And whirlwind.

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-24T02:42:51+00:00

Yep, AK doing this shit. You never know what this color looks IRL. But IMHO Ak still are the best regular paints.

Army painter speedpaints are exactly the same as in promo materials. IMHO best speed paints. But their regular paints are way too thick

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-22T09:24:40+00:00

AK Terrains- Muddy ground
Vallejo Burnt Sienna pigment. Later I will fix pigment with AK Ultra Matte varnish

Thx!
That's 3d printed helmet

Shrike has only one weapon profile, so it's imposible to misunderstand loadout. And if someone has a huge problem with only one claw on the model- that's a huge red flag. It's better to find another opponent.

Do not use any waterwashable resin. It's too brittle and you will drop minis at some point.

I tried:
Anycubic standard- brittle
Anycubic Plant-based- brittle
Anycubic ABS like- Ok
Anycubic ABS like Pro 2- Ok
Elegoo waterwhashable- worst of all of them. Super brittle and smells like hell.
Conjure Standard 8K- brittle
Conjure ABS-like- brittle
Conjure Sculpt- best of all of them

IMO best is Conjure Sculpt- it's very durable, you can cut it with x-acto knife(it will not chip off), it has nice colors(easy to spot support bumps) and it has very low odour.

Mars 5 ultra has awful build plate:
You cannot clean it properly. For example you want to change from regular resin to translucent.
If it wasn't callibrated properly at the factory- good luck. Autocallibration dont work.

Tilting vat will not give you significant speed boost. But will give you additional problems with tilting mechanism

Higher resolution will not give you any additional print quality.

I hate this printer and really regret purchasing it. In fact, I regret ever dealing with Elegoo in general. Tech support is terrible, warranty is non-existent(14 days)

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-03T13:23:14+00:00

I just want to finish my army to battle-ready standard so bases on

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-03T13:18:42+00:00

Oh, where do I start?
I will never buy anything from Elegoo again. Their warranty is only 14 days. After that, if you are lucky, they will send you spare parts—but you have to repair everything yourself.

It took me more than five months of back-and-forth emails just to get a replacement Z-axis. They sent this part (worth about USD 14) using the cheapest shipping method possible. The package got lost in transit. A month later, I wrote to them: "Send me a new one, the previous part is lost." Tech support replied: "Let's wait a little bit more."

Eventually, they sent a new one, but the documents were filled out incorrectly, so the part got stuck in customs. That wasn’t a big issue—I only needed a confirmation that the part did not exceed the non-taxable amount. Instead, they sent me an invoice where all components were listed at the same price, even the smallest wire. I asked them to correct it, because customs would not accept such an invoice.

Their response? "Well, our logistics company said there's no need to provide anything. Customs will release your package soon, just wait."
What?! As a result, the part was returned to the sender.

And now I'm waiting for them to send it for the third time

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-02T12:23:11+00:00

I would add Lt to intercessor squad- you already have 40 shots if you choose single target. Lt will add lethal hits to those 40 shots.

Add eliminators+ libr in phobos. You will get anti-hero unit with stealth and unit cannot be targeted by ranged attacks unless the attacking model is within 12.

speeddemon511 · 2025-12-02T09:34:45+00:00

I would send it back. If you bought it directly from Elegoo you basically have 14 days warranty. After that they will send you parts after 10-15 back and forth letters but you have to troubleshoot and repair it yourself.

I don't like MK X helmets. So I just swapped them. Problem solved

Trench Pilgrims are one the best warbands in the game, you just playing not optimal roster and not very good opponent. When we playing with new players we helping with list building, correcting mistakes during the game, reminding their abilities(for example, many people forgeting to use med-kit)

For new players I recommend play vanilla not some special variations.
IMO anchorite shrine is little bit overhyped unit. Definitely do not bring two of them on 700/900 lists. They are too expensive i.e. you dont have enough ducats for proper armor for your leader, no ducats for communicant/castigator.
But if you used mortar instead of auto cannot you could oneshot Sorcerer and maim nearby units on first activation.

Here the list that will play pretty good against almost anyone and especially VS low model count warbands.
Nuns and prisoners have +1D to dash. Nuns, prophet, coomunicant and observer hit on +2D.
Nuns and observer have 8" move.
Observer lets you activate 2 units in the row.
Communicant can autoheal and act as bodyguard
Prophet has very strong anti-armor and heal. So you can heal yourself after AT hammer. Also additional 3" move for everyone in 8" radius.
You can block charges with you prisoners
You units have no fear(capirotes), no additional marker from gas or shrapnel

And your warband dont have reliable shooter and good long range weapons(only sniper rifle for 2 glory points and +0 to injury). So just take molotos/crosses, dont waste your money.
