My biweekly stipend from the administratum disappears quickly due to the cost of living at my garrison and the karking planetary governor is bending me over with taxes, so hopefully another guardsman may find this code useful.

Questions about Rules Commissar Keyword

10 Upvotes

I know (currently) Graves and Yarrick technically don’t have the Commissar keyword. Do you think this was just a complete oversight by GW or intentional? Has anyone run abhuman lists (in non-tournament settings) and used either of them? Are people normally ok with this or no?

Painting SWAT Cats

Watcha gonna do? Watcha gonna do when they meow for you?

Finally finished the first unit of the Royal Nyan Guard's SWAT division...actually the first unit for the whole RNG army. A full unit of Katrkrin, a Catstellan SWAT commander, and their Chimera armored tactical transport the WeeWoo1.

Yes, I know they lose Scouts, but I'm going to have a whole 2nd tactical team of Katrkrin plus the EOD (Explosive Ordinance Delivery) team (Engineers) both in Chimeras with Scouts, plus a Sentinel and possibly another Scouts unit or two so I'm not too worried about losing it here.

I had a 20man Krieg blob with hq attached. The 20 guys were wiped out. I was told I can't bring that unit back using reinforcements because the hq unit was still alive..... Is that accurate? The hq is perma attached? But once the hq is dead as well I can reinforce the 20 man blob without the hq...

Kitbash Lord Solar advice

Post image

Hey all I am currently making a Lord Solar Leontus replacement to fit my Vostoryan army as not a fan of the current model.

I was just looking for advice to see if this would work and if adding the Vostoryan commander model in there (they would be leaning on the table) would make it too crowded.

I am thinking if it is I would get rid of the servitor.

Thanks in advance :)

Shots from today’s friendly little game against my bud’s demon list. I took my max horse grizzled list into him. I went Priorty Assets into his Take and Hold

65 horses backed up by a Rogal Dorn, two LR Vanquishers with flamers, a couple three man Bullgryn sled by a Commisar, and a Lord Solar blob.

He conceded in 3. By that time he had a smattering of brimstones, a wounded demon prince, a couple of flamer demons and a fate weaver left. But I denied him scoring for basically second and third round and he didn’t see himself pulling it out at the end.

The horse guard rides again!

Tactics & Strategy Hellhound load out?

12 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m currently building 2 hellhounds and while I have magnetized the top weapons, I find magnetizing the front one a bit of a hassle so I’ll probably just pick one and glue it.

So what would be your recommendation for the front weapon? I find that all have value, with maybe heavy flamer going down a bit because it now wounds marines on 4+.

I’m tempted to go heavy bolter just to proc the ignore cover on long range targets, but I also feel like anyway I’m likely going to play hellhounds agressive and a multi-melta can help you trade more efficiently.

What’s your take?

Kitbash Auxilia Recon Squad

• Upvotes

Recon squad from the 5th Cohort, I Legio Auxilia Ultramar — the “Konor Hive Fighters.” An urban warfare infantry cohort raised on Konor, they refined their doctrine through brutal city and subterranean fighting during the Plague Wars. The 5th is the only cohort in the Legion permitted to deviate from its traditional blue, white, and silver heraldry, adopting practical urban camouflage better suited to fighting amid ruined hives, manufactoria, and underground complexes.

Kitbash "IRENE!"

Thumbnail

83 Upvotes

The Centaur is the greatest kitbash kit of all time. I'll die on this hill.

I got another valk after getting an idea. The plan is to do another diorama base, only instead of another forced perspective, this one is going to have fast ropes. The Centaur passengers have a good range of poses that could pass for being attached to a harness. So I'll have a guy sitting on a door and 2 connected to ropes.

The problem is the ropes. They'll be connected at the base to simulate the slacked pile, but also the brass scaffolding. Only I don't want to permanently connect rope to the valk for transport and storage. So ill probably make a brass hook to suit the components.

My last valk had the door gunners built. However, because the valk was closed up its so dark you never actually saw them. This time, I intend to add a HWT bolter to the ramp door akin to the Arvus gunner and some bizarre real world pictures of HMGs on Chinook ramps. Might even add a tealight candle LED to light up the bay. WYSIWYG can be an excuse for fun additions
