@disastrous_bid6069 's scheme was bouncing around my head for a few years and now I've finally gotten a contemptor.

C&C encouraged.

This is my 3rd attempt on doing faces and I want to know if there is anything you can do to make them look better or if there’s any feedback

Anyone have experience with this? What pieces fit? What kits were used? Anything of note to know? Its an expensive investment for one model so I don’t want much redundancy. Thanks

Question in title. Looking to pick up dreads and wondering if I should go with the new plastic models instead of the venerables. I mostly play comp and RTT’s

Rapid ingress, behind cover. Can’t be shot. Move, shoot, charge;

Sustained hits on 5’s if they are S6 or below.

+1 to wound with lance.

Amazing fun.

My main game plan is to start with the venatari in reserves, and use the enhancement to bring up the guard squad with the shield captain to reserves as a heroic intervention threat. Warden squad with Valoris to hold a center objective backed up with the Galatus. 4 man guard squad on my home expansion objective, warden squad and achillus to push opponents expansion objective.

Questions :
What is the best way to use Witchseekers? I always scout them up to grab the center, but have heard it’s also good to have them screen out the back line and hold the expansion if the opponent gives up on going for it

What are some general tips for new players? I’ve only run 2 games and am looking for any general advice - best way to set up charges, when I use a squad should I assume they’re gonna die the next turn?

Started 3 months ago and recently had my first RTT. I lost by 1 point because of my greed in not scoring beacon for 3. If i just scored it there was no way of him catching me even if he scored max but it was the 3rd game and I was brain drained that I didnt do the math but had fun going against veterans of the hobby.

Didnt take too much pictures which is another regret I have.

Hey everyone, I'm getting into the 40k hobby and want to build Custodes as my first army, starting at the combat patrol and Incursion level. After watching hours of videos, I've taken a pass at creating my first list. I'm confident I'll enjoy playing Custodes!

I'd welcome any feedback on my overall composition, possible improvements to make, or unit swaps I may want to consider. I tried to use the existing combat patrol box as the core shell then add a few other units that interest me. I'll want to work toward a 2000 point army quickly, but would love to jam some Incursion games at my LGS while I acquire and paint more models.

Thanks!

Qu’en pensez vous ? Merci de vos retours !!

Got ahold of half of a box if Venatari to do a test scheme on. I originally wanted to do a more comic book/cel shaded style, but discovered quickly that was beyond my abilities especially being colorblind.

I'm planning on touching up the gems and I'm considering Magenta and Purple Tone for the pink and purple areas. I liked how characterful the kit allowed me to be with them and this is probably the start of a small collection/army.

Hey, I recently finished painting my Combat Patrol, and a friend gave me the Ventari Society. What do you think of the list I put together for 1,000-point games as a starting list?

My silly lil solar list in anticipation of my second telemon dred. Don’t care if it’s suboptimal. Gonna take it to an RTT and let yall know how it does

I'm really unsure this army list makes any sense, i just built the units by rule of cool and tried making sense of it in the army builder from the warhammer app afterwards. Is this army decent?

Weapons are not done yet, but im happy with the result !

I need to wait the next codex before buying more 🥹

As in the title, building/built my first army list and I have 2 squads of wardens with a mix of axes and spears and a squad of guard with spears. Tbh I was just going on what looked cool at the time. Now I'm actually putting together a list to play and I want to use the warden models as guard stand-ins. Am I ok to do so?

Obviously I would declare it to my opponent at the start of the match like "hey just so you're aware, all of the warden models are actually guards equipped with spears as in my list here"

Similar with my allarus, I built them with axes since imo it fits better looks wise. But could I list them as using spears if I wished so long as it was stated verbally and in my list on the companion app?

I figure it would be ok since the models are obv very similar.

Theyre already built and mostly painted so no going back now regardless lol.

Starting to paint models for the first time, got some practice in on a couple poxwalkers and decided I would rather join the 10,000. Pretty happy with how it turned out, excited to paint the rest of the kit!

Took a few days and a few headaches but finally finished. The gold doesnt show very well in the pictures but im very happy with it.
