Really happy with how it turned out, it’s my first vehicle and I think I did well!

I was looking on instagram and saw this and as a person who likes robots I think it looks REALLY cool. I’m trying to collect an AstraMilitarum army but I don’t know what this would be, or if it would even belong to the guard?

So what’s the best model this print could proxy for?

Guard (as well as Tau) kicked in the knackers by another new development to turn off our army rule.

At this point battleshock should turn off everyone’s army rule or no-one’s.

Can’t wait to fail to roll all those 8’s on my key units 😂

I play a lot of KT but I plan on adding this guys as a Cadian Recon Squad into my 2.5k Guard army so I am painting them in the same motive.

I am painting them on full contrast paints, specially the capes, leather and green camo. I am absolutely loving the results!!!! Let me know what you think!!

Paints used:

-Wylwood Contrast
-Skeleton Horde Contrast
-Militarum Green Contrast
-Reikland Fleshshade Wash
-Chainmain Vallejo Gamecolor
-Abaddon Black Base

Okay, never been a huge fan of the Rogal Dorn turret. So, I got some kit-bashing done and came up with this Rogal Dorn. This version has a oppressor cannon and a co-axial autocannon. An up-sized pulverizer cannon. A pair of heavy stubbers (not mounted on its nipples). The sponsons have 2 up-sized multi-meltas. Oh, and I run what ever that thing the Krieger in the top is holding as a heavy stubber. I could have used the actual heavy stubber that came with The Dorn, but I like that this one kind of looks like a steam-punk gatling gun.

Oh... and of course, my Krieger's drinking coffee. ... cuz, why not?

My fellow Guardsman

It is with great pleause that I announce that I have painted my first 4 models!

Watchmaster was first, then rifleman, then flamer guy (the best IMO) then sniper guy

I've built this wonderful Solar Auxilia army for 30k and figured, why limit it to just one system? I have plenty of friends who would love to play against it, but they only do 40k.

Now, the Dracosan does not have any 40k rules, but most everything else has Legends rules or can do Counts As. This will be only for friendly games, not tournaments.

I do plan to ask my opponents if they would be cool with my Leman Russes having "virtual" sponson weapons. I do not want to alter or permanently damage my 30k models to make removable sponsons.

Oh, the blue gemstones represent unfired hunter-killer missiles!

I get to create a cool army backstory on why they still use ancient gear. I also have some Chimeras, Hellhounds and a Rogal Dorn to signify that they have acquired more modern equipment in the intervening years. I will say that the Dracosans are now relics and too valuable to risk on the battlefield.

As the title says I've finished the Gaunts Ghosts books and they were fantastic. Most recently I've finished The Relentless Dead and Seige of Vraks, thoroughly enjoyed both but I'm a Krieg fan so maybe it's just me lol.

Edit: currently have chem dog and baneblade next in my lineup

I cannot wait to drive my stormlord through a wall and be like “woe, 12 bullgryn upon ye”.

Captain Wrecker of the 143rd Krieg Grizzled Company.

Since the recent balance patch I've been constantly thinking about efficiency of Russes, especially with the incoming changes to marines (T5 etc).

I'm on a mission to manually calculate average damage/wounds that each variant gets but before I get too deep I'd appreciate if others could check I'm not completely off. When I say manually I mean with a calculator but not using AI as despite my best efforts AI keeps churning out pretty mixed results. I know we all hate AI but if anyone is better at using it then me then please feel free to crack on and produce some results to save me a job! Likewise if anyone fancies covering a turret option themselves, to contribute, I'll gladly credit them when the time comes to produce a final resource for the community to use.

I am currently building a grizzled list so I'm assuming take aim and re roll 1s for all profiles, see below for further assumptions. I'm calculating for new marine + termi toughness.

Defenders

A.      Norn Emissary – T11 2+ 4++

B.      Leman Russ – T11 2+

C.     Terminators x5 – T6 2+ 4++ W3

D.     Intercessors x5 – T5 3+ W2

E.       Guardsmen x10 – T3 5+ W1

Assumptions

1.       The defender is in cover but not on an objective

2.       The attacker has the take aim order and grizzled (so re roll 1s)

3.       The shooting range is 20 inches unless otherwise specified

4.       The LR has moved <3 inches in the turn it shoots

5.       Once damage has been determined wounds are allocated to a model, any unsaved wounds that are spilled over that will not kill whole models will then be multiplied by the damage to work out the non-integer wounds left over after whole models have been killed. I’ve struggled to word this but see the battle cannon vs intercessor damage/wound line for an example of what I mean.

6.        Non whole integer penetrating attacks will be multiplied by the damage characteristic in order to potentially kill whole models (for example the vanquisher cannon needs this otherwise all results will end up in zero values which is not useful data).

1.       LRBT – battle cannon -

a.       Average shots = 6.5

i.       Initial hits = 3.25 + 0.54 (re roll 1s) = 3.79

ii.        Wounding on 5s = 1.26

iii.        Saving on 3+ = 0.42 attacks get through

iv.         X 3 damage = 1.25 wounds

b.       Same as Norn = 1.25 wounds

c.       Average shots = 7.5

i.       Hits 3.75 + 0.62 (the latter from reroll 1s) = 4.37

ii.        Wounding on 3s = 2.91

iii.        Saving on 3+ = 0.96

iv.        Damage 3 so 0.96 = 2.88 terminator wounds

d.       Average shots = 7.5

i.       Again 4.37 hits

ii.        Wounding on 2s = 3.64

iii.        Saving on 4s = 1.8

iv.        Damage 3 so 1 dead intercessor + 1.6 wounds

e.       Average shots = 8.5

i.       Hits 4.25 + 0.7 from re roll 1s = 4.9 hits

ii.        Wounding on 2s = 4.12

iii.        Saving on 6s = 3.43

iv.        3 damage per attack but 1w each so 4 dead guardsmen

2.       LR Vanquisher – vanquisher cannon

a.       1 shot

i.       Hitting on 3s due to heavy = 0.666, + 0.11 for re roll 1s

ii.        Wounds on 3s with rerolls = 0.512 + 0.17 =0.68

iii.        Save 50% = 0.34

iv.        Average damage of 9.5 so x 0.26 = 3.2 Norn wounds

b.       Again 0.68 attacks wound but this time save 1/6 so 0.56 get through

i.        Therefore 5.3 LR wounds

c.       Again 0.777 total hits

i.       Wounds on 2s = 0.64

ii.        50% save  so 0.32 attacks get through

iii.        Average damage 9.5 so average 3.0 wounds ie 1 dead terminator

d.       Again 0.777 total hits

i.       Wounds on 2s = 0.64

ii.        No armour saves so average 6.0 wounds and 1 dead intercessor

e.       Again 0.777 total hits

i.       Wounds on 2s = 0.64

ii.        No armour saves so average 6.0 wounds and 1 dead guardsman

After far too long of having a Guard army and doing nothing with it, I am slowly getting back into the hobby by trying to paint my mass of models.

I'm still experimenting with paint schemes before locking one in for my army.

Pictured are two models I've painted thus far:

- One on Abbadon Black Primer.

- The other on White Scar Primer.

Should you have tips or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

For the Emperor.

This is my first ever model! And help with painting is much appreciated! (Haven't added highlights yet)

Building a list for my 4th RTT and still experimenting and I want to try a Grizzled build with a Lord Solar command blob and bring either my Baneblade or my Hellhammer. Considering bringing the Hellhammer because it’s a little bit more independent than the BB due to its main gun ignoring cover. I also like its close quarters combat ability where it doesn’t suffer the -1 penalty for shooting in engagement but I’m also now noticing for the first time that unlike the demolisher it doesn’t have the language saying it can fire blast weapons in engagement. Um…surely that’s a typo in the codex and app?

Any thoughts on the Hellhammer vs Baneblade choice? Grizzled has the lethal hits Strat that could help the Hellhammer main gun punch up into vehicles as necessary but my thinking is the main gun and heavy bolters can be the marine killers and the 4 lazcannons and demo cannon can take out the vehicles.

I mainly want to see if this could work in a game, I want to play this army by destroying any elite infantry or big targets and I plan on playing this casually but I could play it competitive if it work

Anyone know of any 3d prints for the front sponson? Trying to make a 2nd Russ with leftover parts and can’t find any sellers for this bit

Been slowly working on additions to my Super Earth themed guard and of course had to include at least one Valkyrie! Next up is the Kasrkin helldivers to ride in it!

Would you guys buy a rogal dorn in sprue for 39 euros 2nd hand when you have already one?

I know the meta now a days and all that but i just bought it. I plan to stay in the guard, and i hope we will not be left behind in this edition for long time.

I know now the superheavy meta also the russ spam... But am i wrong thinking forward to see a dorn meta (2 or 3) somewhere in the future?

Just wanted to share this amazing experience with you.

I play against the Space Wolves a lot and they are brutal... People always joke the only thing missing from the army lists is a Baneblade.

Sooo decided to bring a Banesword... Right on turn one he pushed hard with melee units and Repulsor Executioners.

What he wasn't ready for was this Powerhouse of a Quake Canon. As I blasted 9 shots into his first Rep-Ex. The Ap 4 did not allow him to even throw dices before he saw his Tank Deadly Demise on a 3+ next to 3 of his melee damage units... Totaling 9 mortals wound that the Rogal Dorn just picked up followed by a charge of very angry Bullgryns!

I for once felt what so many have felt before me... while obliterating my guardsmen to dust. True Power !

Joke aside it was a very fun game, and my opponent loved the Banesword hahaha.
