Hey guys
I've got a fuckhuge ork army
a smallish space marine/chaos space marine army (Soul drinkers)
and i've got a cadian command squad and a bunch of cultists.

Should I work on a freeboota army next, or should I mix Cadian and Catachan guys for 'nam imperial guard?
>>
>>51690768
>the rippers. That was you right?
no?

>That's like, your opinion, man
If they are not, why is every single assault army shit besides the one army that gets turn one assaults? Just coincidence that they all have weak codices? Why is there a game phase that is completely unavailable for about 40% of all armies and can absolutely dominate the game, provided your pre-game rolls were lucky?

>fucks up the entire balance for everyone.
that's exactly the idea. Tau and Eldar would be a lot more balanced if assault were stronger

>but nids by no means are a "force of order"
They are the absolute superimposition of a single mind over billions of creatures. The worlds they take they leave behind sterile and forever unchanging. Their very presence smothers the shifting powers of the warp and cuts psykers off. If that isn't order then what is?

Is a close combat daemon prince from the CSM codex even useful at all? Since 7th edition made MCs not land and charge, what the fuck are you even supposed to do with this guy. Seems like they kukt him out of existence, unless you take a Nurgle prince. Is Nurgle the only way?

what is a good bodyguard to run commander farsight with? his main deal is getting into melee with his dawn blade, yet there are no tau units that are suited for melee and would only serve to occupy the enemy while farsight gets his rad attacks off.

also the only synergy farsight provides is to a squad of crisis suits by preventing scatter, so it kindof forces your hand with the type of bodyguard you ought to take.

it would be neat if there were some melee versions of crisis suits but i suppose that gets in the way of 'tau must shoot everything all the time'

>>51690908

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Chaos Lord with 4 Marks" bullshit that's going on in the 40k system right now. Abaddon deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine 30k model for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been winning with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid Primarch with my Abaddon.

DarkMech priests spend years working on a single arm and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest arms known to mankind.

Drachn'yen is thrice as sharp as loyalist swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a relic blade can cut through, Drachn'yen can cut through better. I'm pretty sure Abaddon could easily bisect Guilliman wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why the Imperium never bothered conquering the Eye? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Traitor legions and their daemon allies of destruction. Even in the Gothic War, loyalist soldiers targeted the men with daemon weapons first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Drachn'yen is simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the 40k system. Here is the stat block I propose for Abaddon:

>HELP, should i wait until 8E 40k to pick a space marine chapter?
That is the correct thing to do.

Hints would point to 40k getting a more modellistic appoach, like AoS, where you don't pay for upgrades in the units and you buy models in batch (so, boxes) instead of single models.

You'll have the same units, but in future armies will probably look far more organized and clean.
>>
>>51691593
Okay, so their Sisters of Battle are made to order right? Anyone know if it takes longer for them to ship those?
>>
>>51691192
Assuming that Abaddabon will become a Lord of War in the next CSM codex and that he needs a buff in order to compete with this new, End Times meta, I don't think making Drach'nyen a D weapon that only strikes once per turn (in addition to his attacks with the Talon) would be uncalled for.

well, a lot happened

each storm bolter could fire up to four shots (2-4, sustained fire), rather than two
they could fire their storm bolters twice a turn if stationary
the assault cannon used to be S8, and could fire up to ten shots (4-10, with sustained fire)
cyclone missile racks carried twelve rockets, and you could fire all twelve in one turn if you really wanted to nuke something
lightning claws used to be S8
thunder hammers didn't need to roll to wound
assault weapons could be freely mixed into a unit, like deathwing now

Sure a unit of five was frequently over 400 points, but they were always worth it.

I would start with actually taking the advice instead of kinda following a little bit of the advice and then sprinting off in new, retarded directions.

Daemon Princes really want psykery in order to be effective, and they tend to become extremely expensive as a result.

You still don't have any Legion indication, you still aren't following a legion detachment.

You still have ten-man units.

Helcult is kinda meh. It's alright if you really want a Helbrute, but I'd rather just take one in a Warband and let him hide behind a Rhino for cover.

I did take that advice, I will use a traitor legion, I just didn't put it on that list software. Probably Alpha Legion to infiltrate stuff. And I took 2 smaller squads but I do at least want a couple 10 man squads for modelling reasons.

As for the Daemon Prince, I'm not really sure what to do for an HQ, it seems like I don't have enough points to take an HQ and a fast escort, I don't know what I should remove if I do.
>>
>>51691817
How's skilled rider? Ignoring dangerous terrain tests is situational boon.
>>
>>51691958
What possible model reason necessitates the one ten-man squad instead of two five-man squads?

Just take the Sorcerer and stick him into one of the CSM squads. Hell, you could afford 2 ML2 Spell Familiar Sorcerers in the place of that Prince, and they would do significantly more work.

Daemon Princes are in a very awkward spot. They're rather fragile for their point cost, unless they just swoop around the table OR get the right psychic powers. You pretty much always take armor, as they're too susceptible to small arms fire without it, and you always take Psykery, as otherwise they often do very little. If you really want a naked flying prince, go Nurgle and just Jink into CC.
>>
>>51691935
Yep. If you weren't shooting them with things like lascannons (with.. -7 modifiers, I think? -6?), they usually just never died.

Khorne terminators (and abaddon) had 2+ saves on 2D6, so you had to have at least a -1 modifier to even have a chance at hurting them.

Steel Confessors, Iron Hands successor chapter, silver and bone colour scheme. Battle Cry is fucking "Destroy the Weak!"

The only chapter besides Ultramarines to get a life size statue at GW.

Created by the Adeptus Mechanicus in secret to be loyal to them, the Inquisition found out and put a stop to that shit, so now they operate as a regular SM chapter, only with a very close relationship with the Ad Mech.

They are criminally underepresented, both in fluff and on the table, and they're my Space Marine Chapter of choice.

It looks cool, and I want at least 4 different styles of unifying aesthetics with significant representation, horn helmets, topknots, etc.

So should I just take 2 ML2 sorcerers in the 10 man squads by knocking them down to 9? What about 1 sorcerer and 1 chaos lord?

Give them those unique characteristics, and then just deploy them separately on the table.

Seriously, you're taking enough bodies to fit your list into a Warband. Do that.

ATSKNF already lets you ignore most morale crap, drop the Veteran Sergeants.

If you're going to do with full 10-man units with Grav, go all the way and grab the Grav-Cannon. You'd be be better off with fitting your army into a Demi-company and just throwing the flyer into an Air Supremacy Wing or whatever its called from Death from the Skies..

Working on new ynnari list, this might be cheesey, but im intending some very competetive tournaments with it. Id voluntarily give myself cancer/aids if i brought this to my local store. I do like friends

My army list would be 3 reborn host detachments
#1
Lhamaean 10
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
Wraithknight, 2 wraith cannons 295

Lhamaean 10
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
3 scatter bikes 81
Wraithknight, 2 wraith cannons 295
=710

#3
Lhamaean 10
Scatter bikes x3 81
Scatter bikes x3 81
Scatter bikes x3 81
Bikes x2 + 1 scatter laser bike 61
Venom dedicated transport extra Splinter Cannon 65
Warriors x 5, Sybarite 50
=429
429+710+710 = 1849

This army has 2 wraith knights, 40 scatter lasers and 1 Venom
Also all these are reborn warhost. Each warhost numbering 7 models allows YOU (the player) to perform an extra soulburst.
Every unit you lose, you can trigger 4 Soulburst!!! Obviously both wraithknight and 2 units of 3 scatterbikes
That's retarded i think. Also the 3rd detachment here is your primary, Sybarite is there to give you a warlord trait, go strategic.
Shoot anything and EVERYTHING off the board.
>>
>>51692569
DG PMs are 23 points for fearless, def grenades, 2 attacks, two cc weapons, poison, t5, fnp, and relentless.

DG csm with MoN are 18 points for t5, fnp, and relentless.

I know the internet says csm are better but five dg pms are really good at taking and holding shit to the last model. Been playing csm for a while and that lack of fearless/stubborn screws you over big time late game.

Both units work just giving my two cents on why I despise csm, they run at the WORST time.

Note taken on combi.......good idea

>>
>>51692667
PM are 24 points and CSM are 16 points, if you give them additional ccw they are 18 point. And all DG units are fearless by default. you are paying 6-8 points per model for poison 4+ and blight grenades.
>>
>>51692650
Ugh thats nasty. Even the fragility of your list is interesting since killing one squad of scats might trigger a retaliation of 64 S6 shits.

Also the last detachment has 6 choices. Swap venom into FA-choice. Playing with a list like that, I wouldnt allow you to change that during the game.

Also does the detachment bonus really stack like that? I thought/think it only triggers for units in the detachment they belong.

This triggering also raises the point of WK weapons. They might actually want shoulder weapons this time because that retaliation-shot is so much more powerful than normal shooting.
>>
>>51692747
They did errata on that. You get only one set of units but on 3+.

>>51692729

>>
>>51692758
i think dedicated transport still counts as a unit no? if not fast attack is no big deal.

the wording on the reborn warhost says "if this detachment includes 7 or more units, you can select one additional unit to make a soulburst action each time a unit is destroyed." it says you may select, and has no restriction on them being part of a unit or something. Now obviously, you would be very vulnerable to say apocalyptic blasts and you can't soulburst with a unit more than once but if you play smart and the opponent fucks up because they go WTF 4 SOULBURST OMG then you can maximize this well

Well, historically, nerds and geeks have always been outsiders to some extent, and communities that are somewhat outside the mainstream do tend to be more accepting. What defines a nerdy pastime is changing now, with games becoming mainstream, but 40K definitely ain't there yet. The main difference for a lot of us is that we're adults now and we generally don't care what our fellow adults do in their free time unless it's something illegal or unreasonably creepy. For Timmy Teen who plays Space Yiffs it's not the same yet.

And I can certainly say we're pretty inclusive of peeps with bizarre disorders and head problems, considering how many sperglords the average LGS caters to.

Immortals occupied a higher caste than warriors.

They're more themselves, entitled to more devastating and powerful weapons. But their motorfunction and hull is largely identical to a Warrior.

Warriors were dregs, with nothing of themselves enduring but vague essences. They exist to die for more important people, all they are is soul powered weapons protocols and the necron equivalent of a flesh borer/lasrifle.

Hey all, crossposting from /wip/ because I need other ideas. I've been painting my Skitarii similar to pic related, but as I've gotten further along with the robes I've realised I don't like the russ grey, so I'm looking for alternatives. I preferably want something dark to contrast the bright armour colours; I've currently thought of black, the black-green FW use on their Skitarii and I've also need a purple-red online. Any input is appreciated!

yeah I know, I'm just slightly sad that the units are designed in a way that makes other units useless, I want all things to be special and good. I have been running generic CSM since I started this game, they are basically my de facto favorite unit at this point since I have done the most modelling and played the most games with them by far.

>>51693465
They should, and Chosen should just be terminator veterans in power armor. There could be so many interesting things done with this game if GW wasn't so hard on pushing models for every single unit. 40k is going the Skyrim route, but I want Arena.

If I was writing 40k I would make literally hundreds of different units for each codex (actually I would just make all the unit entries be in the rulebook because the codex system is more bullshit to sell things but let's not go down that rabbit hole of worms) but of course you would have to convert plenty of them, and I would want to have plenty of fun impractical units like rogue trader had.

>chaos space marines unit entry
>can be upgraded to cult troops

>can be upgraded to havocs
>anti-plant grenades and heavy web guns are back baby, but you gotta make the bits yourself
>all kinds of gubbins like capes, protective masks, medical packs, tattoos, augmentations, mutations, all have rules

You could make a lot of the MEQ stuff just one entry, same with jump units, etc. and that frees up opportunities to represent a shitload of the things left out in the codices, 40k's lore is basically endless after several IRL decades of production. We could also have various types of cultists from renegade mobs to full blown god-worshippers, specialized forge slaves for iron warriors, all kinds of different bikers, like 50 different HQ archetypes because of the absurd number of characters in the 40k universe, the fun never ends.

I mean, it's kinda viable, but it's got too many "you screwed". You're screwed is deployment isn't Dawn of War, you're screwed if you go second, you're screwed if Tau Castle, etc etc.

Hey /tg/, which Space Marine armour variants are canonically interchangeable? I want to make a Carcharodons army with a bunch of Mk IV and Mk V armour in (yes I realize they're supposed to have Mk V mostly, but Mk IV looks cooler, sue me). Am I alright to mix the two? And also which other variants can be mixed?

I know nobody really cares and it's plausible that my spess sherks just figured something out in the cold, voidy voidyness of the void but my autism insists that each guy at least has a plausible combination
>>
>>51694076
Spread out. Don't let him concentrate everything in one place. Make him pick and choose his targets. Spreading out also gives him less stuff for his pods to "bounce off" of if he gets weird scatter.
>>
>>51693787
opinion descarted
>>
>>51694182
>which Space Marine armour variants are canonically interchangeable?

All of them, I believe. The earlier, more specialized suits, like Marks 2 and 3, might be a bit difficult to integrate with newer armour pieces, but as far as I'm aware it's theoretically possible to get any combination of parts to work together.
>>
>>51694182
Mark V armor is literally scrap pile tier armor made,out of a mix of other sets with the gaps filled with cheap stuff. Those guys are out on the fringes anyways, so nobody is going to get on them for that.

At most, just save the MK IV stuff for veterans, and have the rest be MK V
>>
>>51694182
>>51694236
yeah all the marks are interchangeable aside from thunder armour
chaos marines do it all the time
>>
>>51694080

They're kind of pricey $-wise so now I feel bad. But if it makes you feel any better, I run 3 with a Warlock in my Ulthwe list (magnetized) and they're pretty good. Putting D-Cannons on them trolls the fuck out of people even if you don't get to shoot anything with them, basically it's a giant bubble where vehicles refuse to go. The mesh thingy (can't remember the damn name) is good too. Don't use Vibro cannons since they suck.

>>51694251
>>51694236


Oh. I swore I'd seen some anon having a rage fit before because someone combined the wrong helmet with armour it wouldn't fit on or something. Never mind then.

Plan is basically exactly as stated, Mk IV is for sergeants etc. In Red Tide they spend a lot of time talking about how the important Carcharodon dudes get super fancy ancient blessed armour with a billion honour markings on it (ie maori-looking shit) and everyone else re-uses the same armour 10,000 guys have died in before. lel
>>
>>51694076
>things that are meant to survive at least a turn or two
>tanks
Tanks don't have stacked armour/invulnerable saves and functional immunity to pretty much every conventional form of instant death. Tanks can't hide inside cover without risking immobilization and immediately losing a third of their functional health. And hull points in general mean that you are guaranteed to die in three glancing hits, rather than it being a random 1/6 shot.

They are not meant to or expected to survive very long. And it sucks.

The red thirst is the only thing that Sanguinius had. The Black rage Came from his death against the traitor Horus. The wings were not a flaw but a problem from when chaos stole him from the Emperor.

He'll prolong your suffering, to the point where you don't even care anymore about anything. Nurgle followers might tell you otherwise, but they will never again enjoy anything, there will be only sickness and death surrounding them. Your body will be host to countless bacteria, parasites, viruses and even worse stuff. IF something of your body still remains. Your precious armor and weaponry? It will turn to rust in your fingers, and barely hold together. You won't die, but your body will still be torn apart by gunfire, your bones might still break, and grow back together at twisted angles, in constant pain. Your muscles, once hard as steel, will turn to mud, or atrophy until you are completely helpless without Nurgles will. You're nothing but a puppet of his will.
Remember, Nurgle feeds off despair, not joy.

You're either extremely ignorant of those two legions or are being dishonest on purpose. The Butcher's Nails have different effects on different people, and the Rubric of Ahriman did not affect anyone that wasn't a weakling anyway.

Furthermore the vast majority of the worshipers of both Gods are neither Zerkers nor Rubrics, while every sad cuck that worships Nurgle is a rotting sack of shit.

babby is back with a new list. will probably go alpha legion for infiltrate

once I get another rhino model I might split the flamer squad into 2, but I do want to at least keep the sorcerer's CSM squad pals at 9 to protect him. I think. right now I'm working off a used lot of mishmash CSM units I got cheap and a couple boxes I bought from the FLGS

aren't those two things the same? because if you look at a scale of 0-100, 100 being competent and 0 being incompetent, 99 would have incompetency to it

incompetent at what? they all do the exact shit they're supposed to, to the extreme because chaos represents human emotion at its most raw, its most extreme.

>>51694076
I feel this way about any alpha strike army or army that can turn 1 assault. People wonder why it's not fun to play against which I think is baffling. It's not really fun losing all of your fun units before they ever do anything. For some reason people target all the neat units right away. My Bullgryns have never done a single thing in the 4 games I brought them. They just walk and get gunned down because apparently people are scared of S5 AP- melee attacks. My Wyvern also get detonated in turns 1-2 every game.

Some alpha strike players have had the audacity to ask me why I don't seem like I'm having fun. I thought they were rubbing it in and being cheeky, but they genuinely couldn't understand why it wasn't fun because they were having a blast.

>>51696053
The problem lies deeper than alpha strike tactics being retarded. You don't really have any other option than to go for something like it if you want to ever play something assault focused. Walking up the board is obviously not an option, things like Land Raiders are too expensive to use to get an entire army onto the front to assault and unloading guys from Rhinos just to wait a turn before assaulting is also obviously not working. Neither do normal assault units like non-Skyhammer assault/vanguard marines or Assault Terminators, which you can Deep Strike in, just to die to shooting immediately.

As long as its impossible for assault armies to assault with anything other than alpha strike-type attacks they won't leave and are nothing more than a symptom rather than the problem. Make shooting worse, assault units tankier and give them more way to actually get into assault and you can safely remove instant-assaults like the one you hate.

Not to mention that the main problem with especially Skyhammer is the Devastators being able to immediately shoot at full power, not the Assault guys. Those are rarely an issue with how terrible melee is this edition and usually tarpit people at best.
>>
>>51695402

>>51696095
Kharn hands down. While guts has the power of persistence he comes close to dying plenty of times through out the manga while kharn is a super solider designed to kill people and would rekt guts shit from here to Baal seccundus.

I think Ive toned my list down to just Space Marines (Fucked if I know which chapter) and Imperial Guard.
>>
Is it any fun to play against/as nurgle daemons. I don't want to be a THAT GUY
>>
>>51696179
I can see what you mean, that it's more of an issue with how the game works. I wish they would update it so you could assault out of any transport if you only move 6 inches. It was also nice before when if you didn't move you could assault out of the transport, but I see they've gotten rid of that.

They also really need to tone down all the rules breaking and exceptions.
>>
>>51691750
You haven't given your Prince anything, it's shit. Look at the Night Lords relic giving you a 2+ armour, you'll then have a 2+ re-rollable armour save.
>>
>>51696261
Just allow assaulting from all transports and from deep strike with the exception being drop pods.
Could maybe let those assault after buying some Assault Ramp upgrade or something. Also wish they'd generally buff assaults a lot more and bring back fixed charge distances.
I've had games where I tried to charge 16 guys out of a LRC into an enemy position, lost 4 to Overwatch and didn't make the 8 inch charge. Next turn, after losing another 5 guys from shooting, I finally managed to get into combat and the fucking gunner unit managed to tarpit my marines forever because normal melee models without weapon upgrades are absolute fucking ass and not only fight as bad as gun squads but don't hurt any more either.
>>
>>51696233
from what tg says, yes. from what i've seen in person, not really. i don't take any nurgle (besides a GUO from time to time) because they're too slow

>>
>>51696341
So if I tried 40k wit my fantasy shit (ie, about 1.5k in 40k of nothing but nurgle daemons) I'm not gonna have a good time? I'd just like to try the game and maybe enjoy it without spending another $500 on a whole new army.
>>
>>51696436
Take Yvraine if you want a strong Psyker for (relatively) cheap, take the Visarch if you want some melee support and a free Ynnari warlord trait, take the Yncarne if you want a MC in melee that can teleport around.

Otherwise, I'd just say go generic bike spam with the usual Tau bullshit if you want to be "that guy" and do well.
>>
>>51695815
Yvraine, the Visarch and the Yncarne are new entries of lists of army that you can include in any Eldar, Dark Eldar or Harlequin detachment, independently of any faction restirctions, in contrast with most Warhammer 40,000 units.
The units of the Ynnari faction have the following alliance levels with other units of different factions that are part of the same army:

>>51696447
Nurgle demons are pretty good, they're just a bit slow and clumsy. Just give it a try, I'm sure if you like them in Fantasy, you'll enjoy playing them in 40k as well.

Just keep in mind that gunlines are pretty fucking strong right now.

>>51696594
Necrons are solid. Not crazy OP unless you use the one bullshit decurion formation, but not weak either.

Tyranids are one of the weakest armies in the game, if not the weakest.
>>
>>51696594
Nids are absolute bottom tier alongside orks. Necrons are on the border between tier 1 and 2, depending on your army composition. Normal Necrons are solid in tier 2, not broken but not bad, while the Necron Decurion with Kanoptek Harvest in it can compete with some of the strongest stuff around.

Citadel carrying case. Not the best thing in the world, especially considering that things like Belisarius Cawl don't even fucking fit in, nor do big boxes like Land Raiders, but it mostly gets the job done for my small guys.

keked
>>
>>51696724
I feel your pain, bought a citadel case and I can't fit any MCs in the box if they were fully assembled. Now I have to magnetise both my ghostkeel and my riptide at the base and at the centre of the body to use them, it's honestly fucking aids. Maybe try to magnetise some of your models in the future in order make them more transportable, it costs less than buying new foam and makes them more poseable.
>>
>>51696524
What makes them better now than before?
>>
>>51696724
I bought pic related, made metal shelves and glued magnets to bases and tank treads. But i don't know how to transport something like planes. Always scratches paint off. So i'm selling them.
>>
>>51696845
Mostly that almost everything non-gunline is just shit and that weapons are ridiculously killy.

>>51696842
Yeah, only thing I have an issue with transporting right now are my Land Raiders, both because they're too fat for the foam grid and because the gunner on top makes them too high for the tray. I thankfully noticed that my Cawl won't fit in before assembling him and have yet to go about doing so. Already magnetized my Celestine to be able to take her off the base and will probably try to add a magnet to Cawl's hip.
>>
Different question now, where do you find plastic for casting?
>>
>>51695573
Fleshborer Hives from the Tervigon kit
>>
>>51696516
Depends on how good you are at it.
>>
>>51696916
you could just cut out one of the foam lines to make them fit in, the side foam and top foam should be enough protection.
Also, 1 magnetisation per model is fucking lucky, my riptide has 11 magnetisations, 2 per foot, 1 per arm, 1 for each main gun, 1 for the secondary on the hbc, 2 on the shoulders, 1 in the hip, fucking cancer.
>>
>>51697018
Let's assume average right now. What are some good examples of it. The 3d printed stuff seems a bit shoddy in my opinion, but the savings are crazy. Just curious at how casting does.
>>
>>51697025
Hey, at least you can pose it like the Gundam action figures it always wanted to be.

Most magnet work I had to do so far is for the arms of my Kastellan robots, though I dread the day I will try to fully magnetize my Sydonian Dragoon to be changeable into a Ballistarii.

3d printing is pretty shitty at the moment, but casting is how warhammer models are made so if you can do it well you could make perfect duplicates.

I'd start cutting your teeth on something like this:

Yes, we do, as in actual inclusivity where you don't exclude people from participation in our hobbies based on things like race, gender or sexual orientation. This is also known as being a normal, decent human being.

This is different from social justice "inclusivity" which is about getting angry about the color that people paint the faces of their miniatures and other nonsensical garbage.

Got a few questions about skitarii fluff and kill team & painting.
First, is there an average height for skitarii? The minis seem as tall as space marines but does this mean they're around 7ft too?

What would some good fluffy skitarii lists and killteams be? For example, a huge host of dragoons charging or a killteam of ironstriders and rangers hunting down targets.

Would the eldar have any records or relics of human history? My skitarii guys are supposed to be obsessed with history & old relics so I need a reason for them to enter eldar territory for the killteam campaign's narrative.

I've done my cloaks and fabrics on the infantry as huge scrolls (rakarth flesh with a few washes) covered in ancient tales & timelines to fit with the history/archaeology thingy I have envisioned for them but I'm not sure what to do for the vehicles. I'm thinking of either giving them shiny metal plates or just doing some freehand work of history related stuff like flags or relics etc.
Anyone got ideas on some more creative stuff I could do with them? I'm really not a fan of the rakarth flesh tone for the dunecrawlers but I'm not sure how to paint it so it fits with the rest of the army.

Also, are there any good novels about Skitarii?

Mini size has nothing to do with actual size. Cadian Guardsmen have some of the biggest regular models around and are normally as tall as a normal guy. Skitarii size also varies just like a normal human's, since they are humans that enlisted into the AdMech's military, basically.

As for fluffy Kill Teams or lists, anything, really. Both Sicarian Princeps as well as Vanguard/Ranger Alphas can canonically lead entire Skitarii armies or just specialized teams. In the novel Skitarius (reading that right now, pretty decent) there's a Ranger Alpha leading a hunting pack of Infiltrators.

Your fluff sounds pretty good so far. It wouldn't sound absolutely out of the question that Eldar would have some human relics, though definitely nothing older than the golden age I'd presume.

As for good novels, only started reading AdMech novels myself last week. Skitarius is pretty good so far and I heard that Titanicus is also really good, though it's half Skitarii, half Titan battles. Also have Mechanicum from Horus Heresy on my "to read" list since that one also gets a lot of praise. Last one I'm interested in myself is Tech-Priest, though no idea if that's any good.

Shit man, it's been a while. Were you the guy who recommended the conquistador helms?

Nothing worth showing yet and I haven't got a camera with decent quality right now.
I've got a bunch of headless, armless skitarii with different test schemes so far.

Should have a few completed by next weekend though, I've got a lot of work to do with OSL and learning to layer properly before I get anything I'll be proud of showing honestly, this is only my second army.

However I've been practising my freehand work so I'm looking forwards to showing that off on the dunecrawlers when I get the chance.

Neato! Yeah, that was me. I happen to be in the midst of starting up my skitarii right now, fretting over robe colours. It was originally russ grey for the robes, but over time I've liked the look less and less. Still, I'm not brace enough to try OSL yet, so I wish you luck!
>>
>>51698053
I like the idea of the scribbles though, I've got the idea in my head of a little diorama of a tech priest absentmindedly scribbling down complex math equations on the armour plating of a dunecrawler or something like that.

I really need to start this project properly, my local store is shut down until friday though so I can't get any paint past what I've got and the base coats. I'll get a decent camera and post back in /wipg/ when I finish a few basecoated models for a second opinion and some advice on layering, how to base them and any bits I could easily add to help with the theme.

Sorry about the two posts but the thread's sinking anyway and I'm distracted by a new stellaris game.
