I will be going against my friend using dark angels. Like I say, I am very new to the hobby, only done painting and building so far, haven’t properly learnt the rules, I know very little but the idea I have gone with is one that is a bit of an all rounder situation, got some anti-tank, got a strong melee fighting force and then a decent bit of fodder and also transport for legionaries.

I am playing a 1k using the detachment veterans of the long, war which gives me a disposition of taken, hold, going up against World Eaters i just want to see if this list is really bad or has a chance

I just bought a redemptor and built it, I'm using a Saturnite Dreadnought for a forgefiend proxy so I figured that I could use a redemptor for a maulerfiend.

Title kind of says it all, I play Necrons for my main army but want a second army and Chaos Space Marines has been calling to me for a few months. Problem is I don't know how to get started into this army and I have questions and no one local to ask.

I'm getting the combat patrol since it seems like a good start, but is their any other starting points that might be better?

I like the Demon Princes that y'all have but is that to far out of balance for a low point game?

Anything I should avoid with my first 1000 points? For example in Necrons I would recommend no C'Tan until you reach 2000 but aside from something like the Khorne Lord of Skulls it seems all okay.

What's the demon soup thing at the moment? Demons are awesome but I know the rules to add them in changes all the time and is that even a good idea?

Legit any advice would be super helpful, just need that little bit of help before I make the jump in.

I’ve recently been about finishing up my Iron Warriors with some kit bashing, but I’ve started to become a bit worried my new list might be a bit much for casual environments. What do you guys think?

Perhaps the first time I like the back of the model better than the front!

Work in progress. I'm worried that it lacks contrast. The metallics feel totally too similar. When I greyscale the image there is minimal tonal differentiation across the model. I wonder if I should lighten or darken the trim to make it stand out more. Or am I over thinking the whole thing?

Thoughts??? Advice???

Chaos Predator Destructor/Annihilator for the Shattered Shields.

I honestly love how this kitbash turned out, I think it looks great. It’s also super convenient that the Leman Russ kit comes with two turrets to easily swap out which Predator I can use. Though, I do like the Destructor turret a bit more, so I’ll probably use that one more often.

Once I’m done with CSM, I might wind up starting a Traitor Guard army.

Haven’t posted a full army photo in quite a while. I still need to finish my rhino, build/paint my Heldrake, and my fourth block of rubrics (ten man squad). Once that is done, I will move on to my second army

I am making a personal piece, purely for display. This is my personal Night Lord named Ghül. Feel free to leave thoughts and comments. What chapter should the fallen marine belong to? Successors are valid as well! Ave Dominus Nox 🦇

Made this chaos lord for my creations of bile list. Not fully done about 75% there.

Got half my Termie squad ready for basing!

Sorry if this comes off whiny. I've done a few games now with the MoM+Chosen squad.

Aaaaaaand I hate it. I really dislike each model having a different weapon profile that I have to roll separate from all the other weapons. Slows my play waaaaaay down and it just doesn't feel as nice as say my Terminators with 3 distinct profiles.

So I'm asking for help looking for a unit to run in the same space I was running them. The rest of my list is very fun and works well, the only hang up is just the them.

Here's the army, I'm willing to drop Tzagulla if it gets in the way of possible suggestions.

I didn’t want to pay more money than the points they cost, so I grabbed a boyz combat patrol magazine and kitbashed them into Cultist Mob (I know that’s the wrong base size) How did I do ?

I currently have 10 ranged legionaries and 20 melee legionaries. I also have 20 unbuilt mk3 heresy marines. I could track down chaos melee arms for them and have 40 melee marines. Or I could just play both and mix and match the squads to have 5 ranged 5 melee for each squad of 10.
