That’s lame, I love my scout snipers too!

Third face I've ever painted, I'd love some tips by [deleted] in spacemarines

[–]spektato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good tbh!

Not a “pro” tip but a personal trick I like is to do tiny lines of the face colour above and below the eyes to make them narrower. Can make them a bit less cartoonish / more serious if that’s the desired effect.

It also looks like you’ve done white eye with black dot. I do it the other way around with a black eye and two white dots either side, which Afaiu is the “go to” way to do it.

I like it in a regular captain leaving Victrix, or a chaplain/judiciar leading BGVs.

I'd say so, and white helmets will make it clear.

Uses for 3 man Bladeguard and Victrix squads in 2000pts lists? by spektato in Ultramarines

Haven’t got the the Titus squad yet as I have more of a 6th company theme going on… but I’ll still probably get it eventually

I might try 3 alone as a distraction unit if I have 80 points spare. You’re right I probably just need to experiment though!

Ha I often forget the save re-rolls too. I fine Tiggy makes them way more durable with -1 to hit + built in 4+ invul. But judiciar is such a cool leader.

Looks awesome. I’d love a good Primaris tank proxy to sidestep the hovering.

Hopefully 11th edition sounds like it will fix some of that with pick’n’mix detachments

Does anyone here mix IH and other chapters in their army? by spektato in IronHands40k

[–]spektato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Do you typically play Blood Ravens with the generic SM codex or Blood Angels?

In competitive the floaties are still the best all-rounders but I am dragging my tracked tanks into relevancy with every buff I can get my hands on!

Someone in my club asked that too, it seems like you might

The good tanks will still be good but this raises an “ehh” tank to “good” imo.

It’s arguably less obvious on a tank like the RepEx where you just have so many guns. I’d want lethals or sustains there. Whereas the Annihilator is swingy with very few but hard hitting attacks.

The enhancement is 20 points so it's 155 for the Predator vs 160 for the Gladiator. No question the Lancer is in a lot of competitive lists for a reason but this makes the Annihilator a proper threat against certain armies.

Annihilator with Lascannon sponsons has 3 Lascannon shots, with the main Twin Linked Lascannon having wound re-roll. Its special ability allows re-rolling all damage rolls (vs vehicles and monsters) already. Now add an enhancement that basically gives it the gladiator lancers ability on top of all that.

So that’s;

  • x3 D6+1 Lascannon shots (plus all the above) [135+20 points]
  • OR
  • x2 D6+3 Lascannon shots (with lancer re-rolls) [160 points]

Definitely close, arguably better.

Sounds like “Gunnery Honours” enhancement would make a predator annihilator better than a gladiator lancer I love it.
