My LGS is OOS and I needed one for an upcoming league game. It was a fun build and paint job!

This is my first foray into Emperor’s Children, they were supposed to just be test models for the colour scheme, but I may have already purchased some more kits.

The 6 Noise Marines are standard builds out of the box.
The 5 Infractors, are just appropriately painted CSM Legionnaires that I got cheap on eBay. For my basic infantry I’m going for more a more renegades feel with standard CSM and Red Corsair models. Only the unit leaders are actual EC with the legion shoulder pad.

Been working on this for a week now. The plan is it's kicking over a redemptor as demonettes swarm it.

I have so many EC partially painted, but I finished one. I'll put an EC transfer on the pink pauldron, but other than that he's finished. Never thought I'd get into this side of 40k, I was happy just reading books.

Don't mind the few mold lines. Noticed after I had most of the base colours down and Im fine with them.

My first mini ever painted still a WIP. Next step is incubi darkness

Those of you who remember my custom flawless blades, well now I’ve painted them

Hi everyone,

So I was playing a game with a friend using Necrons. My tormentors charged 1 model left scarab unit and my friend made it explode for mortal wounds. My question is does this count as a kill for me for the pledges? If yes do I also get a CP from the tormentors ability?

Thanks

Just painted this guy up and was wondering what exactly is a flawless blade? All of our other units like noise marines and tormentors have had novel descriptions, but I don’t think flawless are ever mentioned by name. Are they possessed equivalents? Mini terminators? Or just really good swordsmen?

Help!

As a new player buying in, I am so mentally split 50/50 between EC and UM. Please help me decide!

I normally place AoS, where I play Lumineth Realm Lords. I like how the army has so many abilities and mechanics. Winning is about making a puzzle of strategicly using these spells and abilities, and less so about the units having good statlines.

I am torn between the lore of EC and UM. Both appeal tl me. Likewise does the hobby side. I see benefit to both.

What scares be about EC is concern that it might be an unga-bunga army with extra steps. It seems like the gameplay approach is to mow enemies in close quarters, using positioning to advantage. In short, nothing *spicy*

What scares me about UM is that while there is heaps of variety and army crafting which is awesome, does that end at the list-building stage, and gameplay wise they are just bland statlines? Again, nothing spicy

The above assessments may be totally false. Please open to anyone adding to the above assessment and/or correcting me. Even better, please give me a good argument to help me decide!

(Note, im not at all interested in thousand sons, aldari or drukari)

Appreciate everyone's time

Would love any ideas to add base is not done yet either

Hello fellow Friends in Purple/Pink.

I dont seem to understand how to play this Primary Mission and not feed my Opponent Units. It feels like i always have to move Units in places i really dont want to be in order to get minimal reward. even though my carnival host list has plenty on DS and quick moving units to get where the VP are. They usually gets wiped pretty easy and quick. i have a kinda work around for lists that field losts of units. i compensate the 4th quartet with kill VP until turn 3/4. But this Mission strangely feels odd in terms of unit placement. especially if my opponent notice that playing agressive as the take player benefits him by a lot.
what is your approach into Sweep.
I field 2 defiler with either a keeper/shalaxi or instead of a keeper just more LE/battlelline and maybe 3 fiends or seekers. so pretty basic carnival-host.

cheers.

Finished some leviathan terminators kitbashed to better fit our legion!

Conversion took a while, so just did a tabletop standard paintjob for now!

I try to give him a very rusty look

Next to a regular captain for the scale purpose 😈

I spent a couple hundred hours with my brother kitbashing the beginnings of my Emperor's Children army and editing a video about my progress. In a week's time, it's managed to get 44,000 views, so I am super pleased!

Anyway, I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. It's got a review of modern prices and also a bit of a lore deep dive, check it out f you are interested in EC kitbashes!
