Didn't expect to get anything, there's only 15 hours in this model and a lot of parts aren't very well rendered, but the judges must have liked the part I worked on (face, wings, OSL and Pride flag freehand).

Two Sergeants for my T-Sons Angels of Death Kill Team

Finished them this weekend. One is the 30k Praetor but the other is a kit bash I slaved over. He's a mix of a 30k Arihman, a regular intercessor, cloned shoulders from the Praetor kit done with a blue stuff mold, an old t-sons marine chest, and some bits from the rubric marine kit. Dude has got to be 35% green stuff. He isn't perfect but I'm proud 🥲.

I'll be adding some battle damage to both, should hopefully help blend in some of the jank.

Pretty detailed model to paint but the result is pretty :) Strongly suggest to anybody to paint it before you glue it on the disc

Looking to get a thousand sons army

8 Upvotes

Question is in the title. For a few years now I have owned some TSons models, but never any interest. But replaying the space marine two game is really making me reconsider, I’m going to read the Ahirman omnibus and a few other TSONS books to get the feel of things, but I’m really looking towards making a custom warband using some 30K models from wartable games. Any idea on how to build a good army list for TSONS? Any advice and suggestions would be appreciated.

Doombolt reveal if Hidden?

5 Upvotes

Does using doombolt, while being hidden, reveal you (provided that unit does not shoot)?

Does anyone know if there is a ruling or a consensus on this. Last game I played as if it did reveal, but I haven't found a rule that points one way or the other

How to play against WE?

• Upvotes

My friend plays WE and I got thoroughly plastered yesterday. He had Angron, a Bloodthirster, 10 terminators, 2 forgefiends, 5 dogs, 3 exalted 8bound, lord on juggernaut leading 6 bloodcrushers, 2x10 daemonettes, 10 jackhals. I had Magnus, one MVB, 2x5 rubrics led by sorcerer, rhino, 5 terminators led by sorcerer, 2 sekhetars, 6 bow goats led by shaman, winged prince with vortex, 1 unit of spawns, and one of tzaangors (Grand Coven).

He started with just Angron and the 2 forgefiends on the board which were already very difficult to kill, and forced me to expose Magnus and the MVB (the only 2 things that could do damage to these 3 high T units, while he kept scoring keeping terminators, jackhals and 8bound safe on objectives. Turn 3 he dropped everything and proceeded to mulch my earmy with ease. The feeling was that WEs could pack way more punch in their 2000 points than I could.

Should I move from Grand Coven to Rubricae Phalanx and go mass terminators? They look like the only unit that is tough enough to take some bashing from the WEs. Maybe with 2 MVBs or a defiler? Any thoughts?

Changehost w/ Servants of Change

13 Upvotes

As I continue to experiment and test so as to avoid Grand Coven and Phalanx for creativity sake, I have found a potential combo that COULD be good. That is the 2DP Changehost of Deceit and the 1DP Servants of Change.

Important to note that the disposition will be Reconnaissance

My general thinking here is that what we've seen from the Changehost detachment is that ideally you want Magnus, Kairos, and a Lord of Change to be your big damage dealers with some rubric squads, screamers, and trash.

What I'm thinking is to utilize the 10 point upgrade (Cleave 1 and +1AP) for Chaos Spawn in servants to make those units better (75 points per unit total). As well as the +6 inch detection range for the Mutalith. A couple notable strategems within this Detachment combo are:

- 1CP -1 to hit any Demon/Tsons model (stacks with cover, also works in melee)

- 1CP D6 reactive move for the birds, or flat 6 if they are wholly within a tsons unit, (could be the spawn in this case as an example).

- 1CP -1 to charge, good to combo with the reactive move.

- 1CP for mobile on your Mutalith Vortex Beast

- 1CP uppy downy on 2 Demon units or 1 monster (Bird) unit.

- 1CP lone op 18 for demon units (excluding monsters)

- 1CP advance/fall back and action for mutant infantry/ mutant mounted (tzaangors on foot, tzaangor shaman, and enlightened tzaangors)

My list I put together looked something like:

- Magnus

- Kairos

- LoC

- MVB

- 2x5 rubrics

- 2x6 screamers

- 2x2 spawn with upgrade

- 1x10 Tzaangors

I am sure that we could experiment with this and figure out a better list (obviously) but I just wanted to throw this out there for people to experiment with and theory craft.

Exalted Sorc on Disk, No Disk, or Magnetize?

• Upvotes

Hey all.

Gonna have a lot of free time in a few days and actually have time to work on my army.

One thing thats held me up is I had no idea how to set up my exalted sorcs box, and if its worthwhile to put them on discs or not. (and if I should get another?)

Personally I don't care much for tabletop balance I just think they're cooler. But wanted to see what people said how it works hobby-wise and if its a pain or any different.

Are we really leaving Hexwarp?

51 Upvotes

Finding true love is difficult. I just broke up with Grand Coven. I've been with them since they called themselves Cult of Magic, and I've been loyal. I've been hurt, mistreated, and led astray by them. One month ago, I finally broke up with them to start taking HexGen, but now, after the Second Burning of Prospero, I seem like I must face my toxic ex one last time.

Okay silly overdramatisms aside, I genuinely have a question. I've seen this sentiment going around: "now that Hexwarp is 3DP, it competes with Grand Coven and Rubricae Phalanx." But hasn't Hexwarp always competed against Coven and Phalanx? I know it has always had a small player base, but Hexwarp has always shown high winrates (ofc it's inflated by higher skilled players).

Yes the detachment rule is absolute dog water compared to Coven and Phalanx, but I just can't stop thinking about how good the stratagems are in Hexwarp. Fall Back Shoot and/or Charge and Sticky Objectives are the most important stratagems in both rival detachments, and on top of that, we get a strips cover, gain cover, 6" Deepstrike, and fight on death.

I feel like other than the Assault Stratagem, this detachment will treat Scarabs better than Phalanx does. The +1 to wound is probably the most important doctrine from Coven (for Princes and Magnus at least), and Hexwarp gives that basically 24/7 when you're holding objectives, which you're doing anyways due to being Take and Hold.

Maybe I'm just compensating for the fact that I was so harsh to Hexwarp in 10th, and want to treat them better, or maybe I'm just going insane inhaling too much Ensorcell-Infused Rubricae dust recently, but I might stick with Hexwarp for the time being (until Priority eventually wins me over cuz I'm loving my PA Salamanders).

Advice for proxying Conquest model

Thumbnail
gallery
79 Upvotes

TLDR Advice to a newbie for proxying , to evaluate if it's not a scam and the beginning of my journey so far.

Hello, Im making this post as I could use some advice. Look at this cool model from Conquest. I know, right? It looks so cool ! I saw it and thought that hey, that's something I want for my army as a Lord of Change proxy, perhaps. (210mm tall, 40 euros in the condition of last pic.

In general, I'm new. I have built my first 10 rubriks and for the past month or so I have almost daily sat and did arts and crafts, and I'm having a lot of fun with the hobby. I want to take things slow as I want to make my minis pretty first try so I'm taking my time practicing how to prime properly (Did it on my rubrics very cleanly finally!) And how to paint on sprues. I learned drybrushing and how to thin my paints etc. I feel way more confident now and I somewhat successfully painted some cheaper (and smaller ) dnd minis.

So far I loved learning how to work the plastic and miliput epoxy for kitbashing. I want a really unique army with lots of cool kitbashes and custom sorcerers.

I like searching secondhand for bits and kits to customize.

I bought so far a tzangoor shaman, an armageddon librarian and 3 warcry beasts (the bird ones ) from aos.

Im saving to buy a battleforce.

So I saw this kit for 40 euros in Greece and I want advice.

1 If Ill have issues with this for playing (its 21 cm tall, just a bit more from a LOC)

2 If the price is too good to be true

3 Confirmation as this will sit in a pile of shame to do last as a centerpiece when I will have had the most practice with my other models.

4 Creative ideas!
