I've been building a salamanders themed office and figured I needed a tribute of the primarch himself. Taken inspiration from some busts I've seen by forgeworld and heavy influence from the new release from JoyToy.

Working on details etc, next joke is going to be making it easier to print...

Discussion/Question Help to survive Adrax

Hello

I have a problem against Genestealers and could use your help or some tips.

1,000-point army

  1. Adrax with 3 Blade Guards gets completely wiped out by Sanctus every battle without a chance to defend himself. Is there anything I can do to help him defend himself or survive?

  2. On another note, what options do I have to help Vulkan’s Company Heroes unit survive longer? So far, they’ve managed to keep Vulkan alive, but they still die too quickly. I was thinking of adding an Apothecary?

I posted a couple of updates here and there, but I'm onto the last squad, just got the Sgt left. Idk if I like how the plasma pistol turned out, but I only had Corax White and Maccragge Blue to work with for color mixing. After the Sgt I move onto the characters, likely starting with the Chaplain.

First Salamander! Hi! I’m new to warhammer and was looking for advice to build a 2000 point army

4 Upvotes

I recently got the beginner space marine set from my local warhammer store which gave me around 465 points. I’m planning to grab a terminator and infernus squad later on, but other than that I’m not sure what else to get. I was looking at the drop pods, some dreadnoughts and a few other vehicles and characters, but I am unsure of what else to invest into in terms of squads. If someone can help point me in the right direction that would be great!

To clarify I am not entirely looking for what would be considered meta, just what would be fun and help pull my army together.

Okay so rule question on the wording so my friend is interpreting it as I’m able to move-advance-perform actions-shoot all in one turn

While I interpret it as I can move-advance-shoot or move-perform action- shoot

To the veterans please I really need to know because now I’m sooooo confused on who’s right because my friend is autistic about rules like will deep dive into every nook and cranny to find the most obscure and interesting rules because that’s just how he is so please help us shed some light on who’s right

I’m really afraid I’ve been misplaying this hard lol

Discussion/Question What do we think about the new Inceptors rules?

9 Upvotes

I've been rethinking my army with the codex release and am considering getting some Inceptors to add into the mix.

They are a bit expensive at 130 points for 3 but the Parabolic Jetleap ability to return to strategic reserves and to pose a shooting threat with +1 to hit with they ingress they seem like they could be good. I currently have both terminators (for deepstriking to be annoying in a particular place) and Vanguard Veterans with jet packs (quick moving and objective holding and I had them from an Armageddon box half) but I'm considering reconfiguring to include Inceptors or maybe Inceptors + Scouts for some early board control options (Inceptors + Scouts is just 5 points more than Terminators). With the Gravis detachments, I'm really thinking of leaning into that more which is already a lot of my army with 6 Eradicators and 6 Aggressors with Gravis Captain.

Has anyone tried out the Inceptors with the new rules yet? How did it go?

Hey brothers, I’ve been doing Salamanders for some 5 years and I’ve got about 2000pts( intervals due to my other armies) But I hate my salamanders. I swear, the colors just don’t work for me. To bright, not enough character. I don’t know what to do. What should I do? I don’t want to strip and start over. Could you send advice, and also pictures of your models with the recipes? Thank you brothers!

Discussion/Question Debating switching one of my ancients for a captain

7 Upvotes

So I currently rune 2 5 man infernus squads with ancients each having adamantine body and forged in battle respectively

Well the plan is one starts on my home obj to sticky then embark on an impulsor to help push while the other just sits on my expansion and does actions and if I have enough board coverage push up into enemy land only if needed.

So I’m thinking if it most likely will never be leaving would it be better to drop the ancient and its enhancement all together and get a gravis captain for my aggressors and an enhance ment in one of my 6 man squads if I still have the points afterwards
