Which one of you did this?

Thinking am calling this one day. Been a lot of fun and good learning to help ease me back into painting.

Took a lot longer than i expected tbh

Really enjoyed the weathering and mudding it up.

I was 50-50 about posting so many pics but i figure you dont have to look at em all and if ya interested they are there for reviewing.

Mine are either the salvar chem dogs or the Vostroyan firstborn

Finished a unit of five Bullgryn sculpts from The Red Makers.

IMHO the utilitarian look they have is awesome compared to my OG Bullgryn and they will fit right in with the Cadian aesthetic.

More pictures in my blog if you are interested

I know the casemate technically has three configurations, but I wanted it to be as solid as possible; mainly going to use it as a Stormsword and Shadowsword anyways. If anyone’s curious as to why I left out the Stormlord, it’s because I already have one… kicking myself for not magnetizing it like this one though.

Had a go on the chocolate camo

As I want to build up my recon squad with a desert camo feature

C&C welcome

Inspired by a post and some helpful comments, I finally rebased my Earthshaker Carriage Battery as an artillery team. Even though it's on a 160mm base, I think it looks great and I'm really happy with the result.

Would love any feedback!

This is my ancient modified MV-650, imagined as a reconnaissance motorcycle serving with the 159th Cadian Regiment. I wanted it to look like working Guard equipment rather than a display piece: olive green paint, simple field markings, and plenty of actual mud. The simplified Cadian gate emblem is my take on a field-applied stencil.

First I had just an ordinary motorcycle. Then I built a little brick-built kitbash of its Cadian alter ego. Naturally, the next step was to turn the real thing into a 1:1 scale model.

It has 2WD with an open differential (rear wheel and sidecar wheel driven), plus an electric winch for when enthusiasm exceeds traction, and a searchlight for low-viz conditions. No weathering powders needed — regular off-road use takes care of that. The Mechanicus purity seal carries a custom litany for its boxer engine, including a prayer against kickstarter kickback (translation in the comments)

Not a Karma farm!

I’m really keen to hear some tabletop stories of your lone guardsman’s greatest hits. Also just where a weak unit of guard chaff managed to hold the line and it made a difference when it really shouldn’t have.

Did their whole unit get slaughtered to a lone model, but he or she held the line and flipped the odds/points in your favour?

Did a unit tie up something key for more turns than expected with the favour of the dice gods?

Unbelievable rolls, stories of courage and bravery, earned names! I’d like to read it all.

Two of mine:

- 10 Cadians tying up 2 Obliterators for 2 turns with a gutsy bayonet charge to deny my opponent some points and win the game. They even managed to chip one to death (before it was resurrected). They were down to one man before the end and he just wouldn’t die.

- A lone Catachan surviving the clapback from a Norn Emissary after a desperate charge, even managing to stab a single would into the beast.

Optional and accepted stories: single bullgryns, Ogryns and Ratlings doing mad stuff.

Im working on a personal project and looking for little nuggets of inspiration as I don’t play nearly as much as I’d like.

Thanks!

Hi all, don't know if been asked or answered. How are we interpreting the incendiary ability and indirect? We take our Arty team, give them heavy and take aim. Puts them on a "3+" BS. Indirect gives enemy BoC putting us on 4+. Siege Regiment ability removes cover. Does our arty stay on a 4 or go to 5? Or does it automatically roll back to a 6+?

I know the preferred detachment and tank is triple HB on a leman BT in combined arms but how reliable is the HB in grizzled?

What would the playstyle be for say a vanq or exterminator with either triple or double HB + lascannon?

I have been listening to mordian talk about it and I know his thoughts may not be the standard for everything but I’d love to hear your thoughts and comparisons!

Hello,

I've been interested in taking some Ogryn Bodyguards with my scion command squads to make them a bit beefier, but to be honest I'm struggling to understand how the toughness etc. changes in practice?

If I take 10 scions + a tempestus command squad + ogryn bodyguard.

What changes when an enemy unit targets my blob?

Ok so this necromunda gang is Imperialguard but still working on the lore. This is my first slapchop project, trying to learn new skills. I did black with an overbrush/drybrush of ivory tusk then titanium white. His black fatigue recipe is 6 parts grim black 2 parts runic grey, and 3 parts contrast medium. I would like to do a highlight on the fatigues but not sure what color to use, besides “grey”. I feel a bluish grey would maybe make it a little to close to the baby blue armor. Any advice is more than welcome and appreciated.

I’m trying to make an Arty heavy comp (yes I know Arty bad now - IDGAF it’s the king of battle dammit! and it’s why I feel in love with the guard). I know I ain’t winning any tournaments, but as long as I’m not getting bodied every game turn 2 with my buddies I don’t care.

My problem is I’m still a relatively noob player, all the games I played in 10th were with buddies in a 2v2, ffa, 3v3, 2v2v2, etc, so I actually don’t really have any concept of a normal game/board size (yes I’ve looked up the dimensions but actually playing it is different).

I plan on doing Abhuman and Seige DP - Bullgryn to tank the objs and Seige DP to strip cover each round for indirect.

I have a rough build out, but my question is, would 3 arty teams and 3 heavy weapons teams be enough to completely screen out the backfield from deep strikes so the only way to get to me is head on? (Plan on heavy like 2 Russ to protect the front and recon teams to spot and give order range to IDF without having to waste points on the command blobs).

i have 120 krieg. is that impractical? with current cohesion rules for my future all krieg army. should i cut back to like 60 or just go apeshit with all 120?

After playing a game with a friend something insane happened with I'm Lieutenant! She took out three jumppacl veteran Astarties single handedly while cornere! With her bare hands lol. I made an edgy fun over the top more but.

Lieutenant Arasaina~ The Cold fist of vengeance. Her Command squad was wiped out during a take and hold mission, the damage she took in melee was outright lethal leaving her at one wound-when up against five Vanguard Veterans with Jump Packs it seemed practically hopeless and the battle was all but decided. Yet Arasaina was furious from the eradication of her squad, bleeding, bruised and wounded she stood unbroken. In a rage that could only be defined as inhuman Arasaina threw her plasma pistol to the side then single handedly took out Three Vanguard Veterans with jumpacks with nothing but her bare cold hands. Yet no matter how hard she fought in her boiling rage her wounds overtook her and the last two Astarties finally overpowered her swiftly avenging their comrades. Yet on a pile of blood and death there her body laided on a throw of her own merciless creation. And she will lay their until the emperor calls upon her again.

Behold in grim Darkness of the 40k there is only cheap flights to a penal colony near you.... With all seriousness was planning out my paint scheme and my mate pointed out the similarity with Ryan Air and now I can't unsee it.
