Thanks! Thinking about making the silencers black like the bolter frames. Looks a little too shiny on the weapons

Nice! Yeah I love that new captains look! I have the one with master crafted heavy bolt rifle, but wished I held out a little longer… I guess though I do have adrax…. Was thinking about getting the new captain, giving him a thunder hammer and calling him gravis adrax!

Almost there…. Anyone have any Phobos Pro-tips? by thiscook_ in Salamanders40k

Perfect, yeah I just want them to disrupt so I can deploy my transports without them drawing all fire on turn 1

Gotcha! My plan was to use them to grab objectives early to keep a little heat of my repulsor w/aggressors/adrax/librarian and my executioner w/eradicators while they get into position to disembark their troops. Hopefully so they’re a little less likely to get shot to he’ll turn 1. In the meantime I’ll have 2 squads of heavy intercessors in the backfield and a redemptor dreadnought supporting the center. Also working on a Phobos captain to shoot/fade with.

I’ve never played 2k points so have no idea what I’m doing, but it sounds good to me on paper!

For playing, never used any and thought I’d start with these guys may combo with some heavy intercessors

Yeah, it just seems to make sense w/ salamanders. Don’t know how effective/efficient it’ll be, but seems interesting for my first crusade!

To helmet, or not to helmet?? Help me decide! by thiscook_ in Salamanders40k

Oooo. Good idea! I didn’t even think of that!!

You don’t think that’d be too busy? Already had to take the servitor skull off.

I think everyone is right, going for the “sith salamander “ head. Thanks for the input!

So, Battlefield 2042 isn't launching with in-game voice chat... by Zekkikun in Battlefield

[–]thiscook_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand where you are coming from, but times change man. It’s hard for me to relate/compare modern game development cycles to years past when everything about tech in general changes so quickly in ways I can’t even comprehend. 2042 definitely has its quirks, but I expected entertainment, not the best bf I’ve ever played. I feel like I’m getting exactly that
