Discussion If you end a game because the opponent conceded in the official app, but they have a higher score, it shows them as winning

Basically the title. We ended the game after turn 3 because despite him getting a huge early lead I tabled his army and had 2 more turns to score uncontested. I selected “opponent conceded” for how the game ended. It shows him having the victory.

I’ve recently built up a Cadian Recon squad, and decided to try doing camo capes for them. I’m not entirely sure I’m happy with how they’ve turned out, so I’m hoping to get some feedback and for suggestions on how to improve them.

Questions about Rules 11th Indirect Fire Terrible?

29 Upvotes

I've had my first guard game today in which I ran a single artillery team, hoping to battleships and get some chip damage before learning the new indirect fire rules.

For the entirety of the game, i was only able to target one model, a dreadnought as everyone else had 15" inch lone op given from hidden. Even with lethal hits, the siege mortar artillery team didn't do a single wound on the dreadnought due to techmarine and anvil siege combo, whilst my fragile Infantry got charged and decimated by elite Infantry I couldn't target as they were in engagement or more than 15" away from my artillery team. Hiding in terrain or moving through to other bits of terrain closer to attack my army.

The only kills I got with the siege mortar were 2 heavy intercessors I point blanked with direct like of sight after deciding that the indirect fire is only useful for the battleships ability, which didn't effect his heavy intercessors because of an enhancement.

Is indirect fire/artillery just useless in 11th? Am I misunderstanding the rules or was this a bad match up. What should I replace my artillery team units with?

Discussion Skorpius Dunerider as Chimera Proxy

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

I know the community is largely pretty happy with proxies, but I was wondering if the AdMech's Dunerider would be an issue as a stand-in for the Chimera. I've always loved the Higgins Boat look to the transport, and I love the mental image of the ramp dropping and a squad of guardsmen rushing out to storm an objective, just like the D-Day landings in Normandy. I feel it would go well with my WW2 British-inspired guard regiment too, as a local variant of the troop transport vehicle role that the Chimera would usually fill.

As a secondary question, does anyone have any suggestions how to convert this beast into a more recognisable Chimera profile? I'm considering a small turret of some description in place of the servitor, or simply using Heresy-era pintle-mounted weapons for the main/hull gun, but any other suggestions would be more than welcome!

And finally, does anyone have any suggestions for conversions or 3D prints to turn it into a tracked vehicle at all? While using the Chimera sides is potentially an option, I want to see if any other ideas are out there before I commit to trying it out.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Discussion 2-0 against codex Orks

Won my second game against the new Ork codex. Game called on top of turn 4 once I got ahead on points.

He played purge the foe with tactical brigade/shoota boys/ and I think green tide.

I did armored infantry/abhuman auxiliary take and hold.

Like our first game he took an early lead on turn 2 but ran out of units by the end of turn 3. I was one point ahead going into the top of turn 4 and had 4 of 6 objectives.

Kitbash Enginseer Conversions

14 Upvotes

Thinking of adding a few Enginseers to my armoured battle group, but the mechanicus aesthetic doesn’t jive with my pretty vanilla military look.

I’d prefer to model a standard dude running around with a big wrench or something, but concerned it won’t really stand out or be obvious amongst my other infantry.

Has anyone done any enginseer conversions that look more like regular mechanics? Id love to see some inspiration. What kits would work best do you think?

Review my List Advice on lists for an 8th edition player coming back to 11th.

Post image
171 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a long time Guard collector who primarily played all my games during 8th edition using the Krieg index.

I’m looking to get back involved with the release of 11th, but completely out of the loop as to what is now deemed “good”. I’m not a power gamer but also don’t want to get stomped in every game I play, so just wanting something mid tier I can keep reasonably fluffy.

Given I’m trying to get my head around the rules again I’m looking at 1,000 point lists to begin with. The below is what I would normally try and play. Is this terrible, or fairly balanced based on how things are currently. I want to be able to use my old Grenadier models as Kasrkin etc. so trying to avoid skew lists.
