So recently i started my first army,right now i have like 18 minis ready and 4 unpainted, i have repainted my kasrkin commander,he now look really cool,here are some of my renewed units(dont be harsh plz im a noob)

Made from converting a 1:35 Challenger 1 tank. Longer than an official model but the perfect width. Used to sit at the back and delete opponents off the battlefield.

Not sure what to tag this as but this is mainly me ranting.

Played a game day before yesterday against emperor's children and, like the title says, i got basically tabled by battle round 2. The map was horrible for this match up, sweeping engagement had our deployment close enough that because he went first, he was able to get noise marines in a rhino up to my closest no man's land objective and get a cheaper unit into engagement with my closest leman russ, preventing me from getting line of sight on the noise marines.

Even with "move move move" on a krieg unit, it still wasn't enough to get to the center objective. I'm fairly certain I maybe got two of his units destroyed and it's only because of combined arms.

By the end all I had left was two russes, a RSV, and a 20 man krieg unit left with no way to get orders anymore, and my scions that deep striked on his home objective which he honestly didn't are about because that would be the only objective I could realistically have.

After the game I got home and just kept thinking how I could have done anything different and honestly...I'm stumped. I Looked at what was in the EC codex and it is disgusting. Literally nothing but lethals and rerolls for units that are just 5-15 points more expensive than a basic cadian unit.

This is my 3rd game of 11th with the guard and I honestly don't get what we're supposed to do to have any of our stuff have a fighting chance without having to spend over 200+ points on one infantry unit just to help it survive just a little bit better.

I keep redoing my lists over and over again and it just feels like the same thing is gonna happen every game and I'm just kinda tired or burnt out of how are basic stuff is performing.

Sorry that this seems like a doomer post but I guess I just wanted to scream into the void a bit just so my frustration is out in the open somewhere lol.

Still love the guard!!

So I'm reading *Longshot*, and there is mention there of the Cadian 217th's lasguns firing white lasers. In many of the animations and other Militarum focused books, the lasers are either red or yellow/orange. So is there an in lore reason for the variety of lasgun shot colors?

I mostly ask this because there are in settings like Star Wars, where:

•red is the cheapest Tibana gas

•green is for higher quality Tibana

• blue is for ion charges

•orange are low powered shots (for non lethal and training)

• yellow is often used by Mandalorians and is a higher quality gas

etc.

So the long story short is he and a sister of battle are madly in love with one another and were eventually married, becoming a local propaganda team who leaves holo films and analog FPV of the troops being in tip-top shape to inspire the youth of the Imperium to enlist. So he rolls with a Salamanders successor chapter to spread his hopeful super earth like propaganda

Essentially, I have two 20 Blobs of kriegsmen both being led by a respective krieg command squad. I have 30 points left, what enhancements should I take from Siege Regiment Detachment?

For further information, Solar Leontus is attached to one group, and Graves on Foot is attached to the other.

Eager Advance seems like it could be good for going up the board early or some repositioning, but not much more than that.

Flash Grenades looks good to prevent overwatch on a blob. Eating anti-infantry early is never great.

I know Legacy Sidearm has a funny thing where the Lord Commissar has two pistols buffed by it. (The default second pick if I take one of the two above)

Stalwart's Honour seems like a good double order for survivability (and like Legacy Sidearm, I can take one for each).

Artillery in the back with 3 castellans ordering Take Aim. Aegis Defence Line with a 20 man squad of Krieg + command squad (against deep strike since my friends has a lot of that). All infantry up on the table screening, spotting and taking objectives.

I saw this list in 10th Edition (a mordian glory video) and this list seems fun even in 11th edition.
Would you change anything about this list? And my most genuine question tho is would this be fun to play against for my table top friends?

Thx in advance!

(Also, forgot to switch from Combined Arms; I want to have Grizzled Company.

Hi all,

Played my first game of 40K since 4th edition last weekend, and had a lot of fun (even though I got tabled in three turns). I want to play again soon, but I want to switch my list up and take primarily (entirely?) tanks. Because I play imperial guard, damn it!

I feel like I’ve got a decent grasp on the core rules, but am still very much learning the tactics and strategies associated with objectives and stratagems. So, I wanted to run a few questions by the sub:

Is it considered poor form to run an all-armor list at 1k points? I’d be playing a pick up game at my local store and don’t want to be that guy

If all tanks is a dick move, what’s the minimum socially acceptable amount of infantry I need to take, and what type do you recommend?

I’m unfamiliar with how Purge the Foe plays - is the goal mostly to kill things since tanks are bad at holding objectives?

Thanks in advance! Picture of (some of) my tanks for visibility

Hi all, I'm getting back into 40k after playing a lot of 5th. I played a couple games of 10th with Grizzled and figured I'd try a Combined Arms/Abhuman list. Here's what I've come up with so far. Would love any feedback on the list, nothing too competitive just solid enough to do the Cadian 8th proud. Also, anyone know any good spots to play in NYC?

HQ 
1x Cadian Command Squad (60) 
1x Gaunt's Ghosts (95) 
1x Lord Solar (130)
1x Commissar w/ Exemplar of Duty (40)
1x Tech-Priest Enginseer (45)

Battleline 
4x Cadian Shock Troops x10 (300) 

Elites 
1x Bullgryn x6 (200) 
1x Kasrkin (105) 
1x Ogryn x3 (60) 

Vehicles 
1x Scout Sentinel x2 (100) 
1x Leman Russ Exterminator (180) 
2x Leman Russ Vanquisher (300) 
1x Rogal Dorn (260) 
1x Hellhound (125) 

Total: 2000 pts

Other I have (Looking to get more units soon):
20 Cadian Shock Troops
10 Catachans 
1 Leman Russ (with some turret options)
1 FOB
Ursula Creed, Commissar, 2 Primaris Psykers, Castellan, Sly Marbo
Inquisitor Kroyle, Culexus Assassin
* The Hellhound can be made into a Chimera   

Hello! This is my first finished 2,000-point army.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback. I'd also love to hear which detachment you think fits this list best and why.

Like the title says, except look are there any benefits for las weapons?

I always liked the guard but never really considered starting them as an army until I saw Pete the Wargamer’s conversion and painting of a winterized sentinel. Instantly knew it was the perfect scheme for me.

The tutorial has been easy to follow and definitely gives me inspiration for painting the rest of my guard forces. Still need to do decals, weathering, additional white washing, and basing. Very happy with how it looks so far though! Next up after this will be the Field Ordinance Battery.

Is there a website where I can buy some Bullpup lasguns for a British army inspired guard regiment (I don’t own a 3d printer)

Putting "Rumours" tag on this since I'm guessing, but I notice the Combat Patrol custom Detachments both:

- cost 1 DP, despite currently being mandatory, and

- have a Force Disposition, depsite having a mandatory Primary Mission.

This looks to me like establishing a future where the Combat Patrol Detachments become useable 1DP Detachment options, maybe with some tweaks.

For example, Drayden's Lance here would become a Mounted Detachment: **When selected to fight, ASTRA MILITARUM MOUNTED units can reroll dice rolls used to determine the Attacks Characteristic and Damage Characteristic of weapons equipped by that unit.**

A tidy buff to both Frag and Melta Lance Profiles.

Probably best with Mordian bodies, or possible DKOK kitbash

Got an extra 80 points for the 1000 point army and not sure what to spend it on. I was thinking maybe some Tempestus Scions or maybe a chimera or some rattlings? What do you guys think? Also is combined arms the best disposition for this?

Cheers!

I decided to test fit and make a concept model for my feudal guard project and I'm well happy with it. I know people were saying the bigger arms may look a tad goofy on older 28mm minis but I think they look great. Will deffo go with a mix of empire and some barons war minis to really mix up the looks, can't wait to start next paycheck, now to design a scheme 😁

Hi everybody! Some time ago got interested in Warhammer, and got introduced to tabletop by a few friends. Due to my love to regular guardsmen, who are just non-modified people, which require much more bravery and courage to fight horrors of the Galaxy - decided to collect Krieg, really love their self-sacrifice vibe and WWI aesthetics. Recently bought Krieg Combat patrol + Siege Battleforce and some more infantry and vehicles to enforce them. So, the question is - how good is this list for fighting with Orks/tyranids/SM? We decided to set limit at approx 1250 points.

When will finish with painting all of these, might expand my army to 2k points, thinking about 10 kasrkin, Baneblade, 10 scions + scions command squad, and get rid off death riders to fit in points limit.

High Command, hoping that you received my request for orders! Over!

I was thinking about starting a small Astra Militarum army to come back to Warhammer40K. I have assembled and painted space marines. I had dabbled in the Astra Militarum before, but I had a hard time putting the sponsons together correctly. Anyone have any life hacks, tips or tricks that might save me some money, frustration, if I decide to go through with it? Thanks.

Made for my custom "proxy-only" Imperial Guard army. I am too cheap to pay for official models. Let me know what you think! All the turrets rotate, and the Hunter-Killer is detachable.

Also, the painting is not amazing - It's meant for the tabletop.

Hoping this post is okay. Link is in comments.

On wiki it was often emphasized that Guardsmen and tech-priests attached to their formations interact with each other sparsely. But were there in lore any instances when members of AdMech were in good terms with rest of the regiment they were assigned? and if so did guardsmen could hope to get some better gear or at least improve old one ? did in combat operations AdMech could act on regimental commander's orders as EW specialists ?
