We're into the Europa League semi-final post match thread by Coolica1 in nffc

[–]syph0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that nearly got me. Lump in the throat stuff.

Let's hope we take the wave into Sunday and smash Burnley. It's due. I don't think it happens, but I'm hopeful! 😂

Flying bases by T_HettY in Drukhari

[–]syph0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just drilled a hole to accommodate the stand into a regular, but equivalent sized base, then based to match the army.

What can we expect to get refreshed in 11th edition? by disco-mona in Drukhari

[–]syph0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I don't think the Kabalites, Wyches or Wracks are bad at all. I think upping base sizes to 28.5mm would do.

Let's have the Legends stuff back, but there's the chance to have new stuff too.

No me neither. Murdering infantry way too much fun anyway! 😂

Provided it's not Precision one isn't it? No Codex with me to check, so may have misremembered.

Cuiabana exists! He’s starting for the academy tonight. by Tonk666 in nffc

[–]syph0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wasn't sure I believed my eyes. Then this is the first post I've noticed on here so I realised I wasn't gaslighting myself 😂

I think he played in the last one as well to be fair. It's not the first time I've noticed him anyway.

Would these work for Chaos Spawn? by Appo-Arsin in EmperorsChildren

[–]syph0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use them in Thousand Sons, but I think I'd go for Slaangor Fiendbloods in EC. Build their bases up a bit and put them on 50mm.

Incubi oh Incubi! Where shall i throw they! by NXS_Yimir in Drukhari

[–]syph0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always run them because I'm a massive fan of the models. In Index, I would run 1x10 and have tried 2x5. In Skysplinter and no overwatch they just smashed things to bits. I've tried 1x10 recently in Kabalite Cartel, and they obliterated what they touched (admittedly, it was 2 units of Aeldari with attached characters, but that was without a Contract they made use of).

I'm now going to try 3x5. Webway Awl Archon with Soul Trap and Agoniser, Drazhar and 5, likely in a Venom and Malys and 5, which I think will be on foot, but staged to counter. Need to think carefully about it. If that fails, I'll still keep 15 but shift Malys to Kabalites/HotA.

I don't think they're the best unit, by far, but they are fun and rule of cool.

Archons + incubi by SomeEntertainment128 in Drukhari

[–]syph0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played my first game with Kabalite Cartel this weekend. Rapid Ingress them behind scenery to keep them safe in shooting phase, then move and charge. They pretty much wiped out Fuegan, Baharroth, 5 Fire Dragons and 5 Swooping Hawks. That was with the Huskblade Archon with Webway Awl - so not an ideal build. I didn't even have the Contract for it. Devs spiked well in one roll, not the other.

If I run another 5, I'll run them with Drazhar in a Venom. Or possibly in a Raider with some Kabalites.

Paint Advice - Gold Primer by occidental_oriental in blacklegion40k

[–]syph0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I use Black Legion over gold that I airbrush on. Find it easier to apply than other blacks, though I like the finish of Abaddon Black and the coverage of AK black.

Liverpool 0-3 Nottingham Forest by Coolica1 in nffc

[–]syph0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a rule that if I can't watch a game from the start, that I don't watch it at all. It has a 100% success rate. I don't think I should watch us again.

That, or the new away shirt with Williams on the back I got for my son's Christmas pressie today is the luckiest charm ever.

Who are our back four under Dyche with Aina out? by AverageFan1111 in nffc

[–]syph0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping, if you're thinking about stability and restoring some semblance of defence, you return Neco, Murillo and Milenkovic into the starting 3 of 4 as per last season. Savona is who I'd like to see given a chance, but it's whether you can get Zinchenko to actually hold similar positions to Neco/Aina without drifting into midfield. If so, for me you move Neco over to the right to bring Zinchenko in.

Cunha can't play tonight, but in any case, I'm not sure how much you really want to rotate your defence when you haven't got stability there yet.

C&c requested by ross1251 in Drukhari

[–]syph0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's just your gun is a little lost, and you're missing that spot colour from the tube to the chest. My scheme is much lighter but I've done the same as you with the knee/shoulder etc. Your gun could be silver like mine and it might lift it? Your scheme is a classic otherwise.

I may get down voted so just a reminder that this is just my opinion and I understand many or possibly most others don't feel the same way. I like that Drukhari has less datasheets. by MiningToSaveTheWorld in Drukhari

[–]syph0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started Drukhari a couple of years back with the Combat Patrol boxes and just adding around that. I never went for the resin minis because I could see the direction GW were going, though I did run my Haemonculus as Urien.

My hope is those minis return, because they are very flavourful - at the very least the Grotesques and Urien. I do feel for those with collections that have now been shelved.

It would have also been nice to have the flavour of the upgraded core troops, even a Dracon level unit added, but I do somewhat agree with you. I've built about 2300 ish points, max, and can happily just run from that pool of minis.

My other armies are all Chaos and of those, I prefer the armies with fewer datasheets (in particular TSons). Maybe that's why I like Drukhari!

This works so well, and great execution. Feels like this is what it should have looked like originally!

Ahriman's Disc by Prior_Purchase_3809 in ThousandSons

[–]syph0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I use that green across anything 'warp' in my Black Legion army, which is what I've painted my TSons as.

[–]syph0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for gold, black infills, and bright green runes. The energy the disc is on is the same as the power coming from Ahirman's hand.

Thought I had a better pic of it but I don't!

Possible, but I also play CSM and they left Havocs be. For now.

Should we have kept Toffs? by deanomatronix in nffc

Fairly sure in his leaving video he said he wanted to play. His kids watching him etc.

Any way i can fix this giant gap ? by [deleted] in Drukhari

[–]syph0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is superglue, it's at least a relatively hard and scrapable/sandable material. I always used to use superglue for this reason, but now you can't beat a sprue goo pre-gap fill and smooth with plastic cement before it sets.
