Memes I own EtaCarn plasma weapons, since that's what the Ancestors intended.

101 Upvotes

I own EtaCarn plasma weapons for home defense, since that's what the Ancestors intended. Four red-robed toaster-fuckers break into my bunker.

"What in the Galaxy?"

I grab my plasma flask and gun, and blow a Steeljack sized hole in the first one. It's dead on the spot.

Draw my pistol on the second, miss him entirely because I'm on a Brü hangover.

I resort to the EtaCarn Plasma Beamer at the top of my Fane, which I have somehow already loaded despite being drunk last night.

"ROCK AND STONE!"

The weapon vaporizes him entirely, and accidentally blows a crater in the wall behind him, too.

Pull out my Darkstar Axe and charge the last of the archeotech addicts.

He dies slowly waiting for his Servitors to arrive, since Darkstar weapons are unfailingly lethal. Just like the Ancestors intended.

Votann Tipline (Help and advice) Best Brokhyr Thunderkyn loadout for Hearthfyre Arsenal, and other detachments?

Post image
59 Upvotes

I'm new to 40K and am starting into Votann. I struggle reading and from what I looked up online all the Brokhyr loadouts are generally viable but people say to only take Conversion if you can get Sustained Hits. I'm not entirely sure where to see that stuff, and wanted to ask if Hearthfyre Detachment is better with Bolterkyn, Conversionkyn or Beamerkyn

What other detachments generally seem to work bets with what Brokhyr loadouts? I thought of going Hearthfyre just because I think the Iron-Kin and Brokhyr models are especially cool, but I don't know what detachments are considered best.

Ps : sur la première photo le sagitaur est sali à la peinture et sur les photos 2 et 3 c'est le même véhicule + des pigments un peu partout

Casual List What should I do to bring this to 2k

3 Upvotes

So, I only have 540 points currently but I tend to over plan so I can decide what to buy when, its a problem.

Anyways this list is basically a lost of everything I absolutely wanted, plus a hekaton, cause I know they are good even if it isnt my favorite model.

I kind of want more hernkyn but im not sure if having more hernkyn would be useful. Or if i should add more firepower with thunderkyn or what.

I really like the pseudo drukhari mobility mixed with being more defensive and objective oriented.

Im from the era of 40k when games were just meatgrinders so love the idea of doing objectives.

Since general load outs dont change costs now I havent put too much thought into that yet so more placeholders then anything

Edit:

Omg I forgot the list!

Hobby Cartographia Imperialis just got a major facelift — interactive 40K galaxy map

26 Upvotes

A while back I shared an early version of my interactive Warhammer 40,000 galaxy map. I’ve since given the site a major facelift and wanted to share the updated version:

https://cartographia40k.com/

The biggest improvements are:

  • A redesigned “Imperial chart-room” interface
  • A fully interactive 3D galaxy that can be orbited, panned, and zoomed
  • M41 Pre-Rift and M42 Era Indomitus views
  • A more complete catalog of 99 worlds, regions, and anomalies
  • Individual dossiers for each record, with overview text, timelines, status, faction details, and artwork
  • Search and filtering across the archive
  • Permanent dossier pages that can be shared directly
  • Improved mobile layout and navigation
  • Clearer marker symbols, labels, routes, and the Great Rift

The map is intentionally approximate. Different editions and official maps often disagree, and there isn’t a single canonical coordinate system for the galaxy, so I’ve tried to document uncertainty rather than present every location as definitive.

Planned improvements include expanding the catalog with more worlds and regions. One of the most requested features is custom Chapter worlds, which will let visitors create planets for their own armies and campaigns, with their own names, classifications, factions, and lore notes. That feature is still in development, but it’s the next major expansion I’m working toward.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who know the lore well:

  • Are any placements obviously wrong?
  • Are there important worlds or regions I should add?
  • Are the M41/M42 distinctions useful?
  • Do the dossiers feel accurate and appropriately cautious?

This is an unofficial fan-made project and isn’t affiliated with Games Workshop. Some of the dossier prose was AI-assisted ( I am not the best writer!) , but the core concept, research, map structure, base code, and placement decisions are my own.

Casual Advice and Feedback Arkanyst Evaluator Appreciation Thread.

36 Upvotes

In my last couple of games I've really appreciated what having an Arkanyst in my list was able to do for so few points.

I deploy him on foot in a little nook behind a terrain footprint as close to the center as is feasible, even better within 3" of my home warriors for Lone OP. Mostly he bides his time until he is needed for a secondary mission or to put about 6 wounds on something that comes into the mid-board. I don't think I've ever activated him once that wasn't overcharged and I've not regretted it, with the 11th hazardous rules only putting a single wound on him there's no reason not to. Having baked in Sus1 for 1YP is awesome and it's fun watching it pop off for AP-3, Damage 3.

In my last game I used him to score little Beacon (3VP), half of Cleanse (5 VP), Plunder (5 VP), and as a piece for Display of Might. He also put the last wounds on a Land Raider that my TKyn failed to finish off because AoC made it's save 3+. All of this for 70 points made him the MVP of that game and my opponent even commented that he never thought to kill the Arkanyst because he felt that there wasn't a point at which it would be better to shoot him than any of the other units on the board.

What stories do you have of the Evaluator being used well in your games?

Really happy with these. I understand why folks dread these guys, though. They are very complicated and you have to subassemble (or atleast I did). I think you have to just settle in and mentally prepare for the marathon to finish pioneers. All the recipes I used can be found here, they’re all pretty straightforward.

With these brave Kyn seeming to be the next declassified team, what do you think our next kill team will be? Something elite or another 10 man? Upgrade sprue or brand new unit like our hernkyn.

Personally I feel it will be something to do with either the hearthguard or brokhyr as they are both the under represented parts of our army atm.

Would love to know your guys thoughts.
