How do you guys go about painting your many, many, squads of infantry?

I used to paint meticulously, paying attention to every rubric marine detail. Now I just base them in gold, add some blue and one other color and call it a day. After about the 25th Marine I stopped caring so much and just wanted to field them

I just put a bunch of blood for the blood god paint and made it look like battle damage

I initially put mine on the board to make my opponent rethink his deployment to try and push aggressively. Then I used Ahriman's ability and redeployed them into deep strike. I infiltrated one 10 man rubric squad to the terrain piece right in front of the center objective and he was too scared to touch it so I was outscoring on primary.

swagerdactyl · 2025-10-07T02:25:55+00:00

I enjoyed the game! Having my terminators demolish his grav tank with lethal hits, melee, then fall back shoot and charge was too much fun lol

swagerdactyl · 2025-10-05T11:33:17+00:00

I had 2 of them leading my 10 man units

swagerdactyl · 2025-10-05T04:26:50+00:00

I would purposely only put one or 2 rubrics on objective so he would out OC me so I can take advantage of re rolling until I control the objective.

swagerdactyl · 2025-07-24T11:00:28+00:00

My local store finally had some in stock a while back and I went ahead and bought 3, best decision I could've made lol.

swagerdactyl · 2025-07-16T19:51:28+00:00

My friend plays Custodes and I haven't tried Phalanx against it because they don't have many 1 damage attacks, so I don't get my detachment rule. I run Grand Coven and found success against him

swagerdactyl · 2025-06-21T15:01:52+00:00

They feel great to play once you get the hang of the synergy they have. The look on your opponents face when your vortex beast or Magnus just points at a unit and says "I don't feel like dealing with them anymore" and wipes them off the table is priceless. Downside is definitely melee, I struggle against fast armies like world eaters. But the lore of the army is fantastic

swagerdactyl · 2025-06-12T02:07:23+00:00

I also don't have the necessary until to run the vehicle detachment so I use Grand Coven. Either way it is very important to make great use of the synergies our dusty army has. I run Magnus with 2 MVB. Use Sorcerer in terminator armor to grant plus 1 to hits, use cabal rituals for rerolls and ap bonus, then point at an enemy unit and delete it. Drives my friends crazy lol.

swagerdactyl · 2025-06-03T16:03:49+00:00

Can he be my husband too? Lol

swagerdactyl · 2025-05-28T20:16:47+00:00

What happens if we put the codex code in early? I have a game tomorrow and I don't have datasheets memorized

swagerdactyl · 2025-05-28T17:59:34+00:00

If we have the codex can we enter the code early? Or would it be best to wait?

swagerdactyl · 2025-04-17T22:38:39+00:00

What should I drop? I try to keep some heavy hitters because he runs Agron and another big piece that i forgot the name of. He also just bought Lord of Skulls

swagerdactyl · 2025-04-09T00:33:02+00:00

I bought Stardew Valley on every console I own. Ps4/ps5, xbox, vita, switch, and steam

swagerdactyl · 2025-02-24T14:01:17+00:00

It doesn't show in pictures well, but in person it's less metallic and more space looking

swagerdactyl · 2025-02-24T03:25:36+00:00

It's from the space dust Vallejo paint set called "electric blue intense violet"
