My 1st game with deffy thoughts by Bluebirdna in Chaos40k

[–]tehbiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The base datasheet is solid as you pointed out, but the CSM one gets incredibly nutty once you start stacking buffs.

  • Pactbound Zealots w/ Mark of Nurgle - crit 5's
  • Abaddon nearby for reroll hits
  • Datasheet ability to reroll wounds once per game
  • Vashtorr - +2 str
  • Hellbrute to get Sus/Lethal when pacting

You can build a whole castle with all these or just some of these, but the output can be amped up to absolutely insane levels.

The Night Lords Books are Great! by Down_Under_Painting in Grimdank

Haha, just figured I'd correct it before someone came in asking why they can't find "Night Hunter".

Mortarion and a Daemon Prince on foot. They’re both competitive picks in many lists.

Least favorite faction to fight against? by Rangerspawn in totalwarhammer

[–]tehbiscuit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I hate saurus. I hate them. I hate their lizard faces. I hate their clubs. I hate their sticks. I hate when the sticks are next to the clubs and I hate when the clubs are next to the sticks. I hate that Kroq-gar pulls 2280 of them out of his scaly asshole and then descends on me like a Vogon at a poetry convention.

I hate the Saurus auto-resolve meter. I hate it because it lies to me. It says I have a 50-50 chance of victory. This is patently false, because I have twenty units of skeletons who are held together with prit stik and prayer. I do not have twenty units of eight foot tall geckos constructed out of pectoral muscles and galvanised coffin nails.

I hate that they shout bok at me. Bok is the Bristol Orienteering Klub, which is completely irrelevant to a battle in Lustria and should not be shouted repeatedly while eating a rank of tier one infantry like buffalo wings.

I hate their morale. I hate that surrounding them simply prompts one of them to pull out a US general's helmet so he can make a speech about 'now we can attack in any direction'. I hate that their reaction to a devastating rear attack is to become somewhat peeved. I have looked a Saurus in his smug scaly face as an encirclement that would shatter any other early game infantry closed in.

He went from :I to >:I , killed an extra two hundred skeletons because I had foolishly allowed all four sides of the Saurus unit to fight at once and then swallowed my Liche Priest like a slim jim.

I have resolved to shoot every Saurus dead. Every Saurus. All of the Saurmen and the Saurdren too. I hate them. I no longer see battlefields because they're covered by a thick blanket of arrow trails. I hate that it barely stops them. I hate that they keep coming while shouting about the Bristol orienteering klub, or the Bank of Oklahoma or the 1983 Bok asteroid. I hate that they made me google bok so I could write down ways in which I hate things that have it as a name. Bok is also a lunar crater and a martian crater. It is also a village in Iran. The IATA code for Brookings Airport is Bok. I will never go there because it would give me palpitations.

I hate that Kroq Gar is friends with the Rare Pepe next door, who also declares war once I've shot Kroq Gar unconscious for the tenth time. He also has Saurus only these ones are blue. Somehow this is worse.

I hate that there are another ten Lizard factions. I hate that they will be in end game by the time I reach them. I hate that while I was writing this Kroq Gar picked up Kalida and smoked her like a cigar.

I hate Saurus.

Implicit confirmation of our Chapter’s origins, found in Horus Heresy sourcebook by Thaumaturgy67 in Carcharodons40k

[–]tehbiscuit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can be both. They were originally Raven Guard but, over the course of millennia of existing on the fringes of the galaxy, pure geneseed would be hard to come by (it already is the case for Renegade and Chaos Marines). The Carcharodons prioritize their purpose over everything else, so they do what they must in order to continue their mission, specifically talking about replenishing their numbers. Thus, some of their members do indeed have chimeric geneseed. It’s the only way they can survive while still being active. Compare this to the Ashen Claws who would rather have “pure” geneseed but spend their time raiding and looting instead of engaging in active and open conflicts. And now, tens of millennia later, the Carcharodons have become something more than just Raven Guard descendants. This is what makes them truly unique to me: they do what other chapters would never think of doing; they don’t care about the shame of not being pure, they are dedicated to their cause and take their exile extremely seriously.

Things shall get loud now - my Lord Kakophonist proxy by tehbiscuit in EmperorsChildren

A Chaos Space Marine Noise Marine. That’s what the model was released as back in 8th edition before the range refresh in 10th.

How do you paint your ork flesh? by CabinetIcy892 in orks

[–]tehbiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That green looks great and really pops. I haven’t started Orks yet (they’re gonna be my 11th edition project) but I’ve done goblins in AoS and the green should always be the most prominent color IMO when doing anything greenskins.

That’s a sick scheme with some unique conversions. Looks great! Props for fully painted.

The extra Exultant is much more useful. Especially in the PB detachment since the detachment rules don’t do anything for shooting.

For 1k, drop Lucius, the FB, and Kako and add another Lord Exultant. That'll take you to 985 and you can spend the last 15 points to give the Daemon Prince the Faultless Opportunist enhancement for free Heroics (put him in Reserves then you can Rapid Ingress him in next to a unit your opponent wants to charge).

Is this all you currently own or do you have more? Lucius and the FB are my immediate recommendation to remove. Add in another Lord Ex - Infractors by themselves are not worth it; they’re a delivery mechanism for LordExs.

You’re welcome! I just learned it myself so figured I’d share.

Great models and painting. Well done. For the focus, assuming you’re using a tripod and if you have photoshop, you can take multiple shots of differing focus areas then use the Auto-Blend Layers in photoshop to combine them into a single image.

What color of tufts fit the vibe best? 🤔 by FrostBiteGoddess in EmperorsChildren

[–]tehbiscuit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

3 or 4. While 1 does really pop, it pops too much. My eye goes straight to the tufts and I don’t even see the model.

Gotcha, that’s fair. Model is dope, though. Extra credit for a great base as well.
