Given the tendency for any discussion of causal play elsewhere in the forum to veer off into the perennial argument as to whether casual/competitive play is better/valid, I wondered if it might be worth having a thread for those of us who take a, let's say, less-competitive approach to the game to chat about what we're up to, bounce ideas around etc without having that argument take over everything, as it so often tends to.

NB – No judgement on how you choose to approach the game, competitive people – you guys do you – but just as "casual" chat is discouraged in the various tactics threads, maybe this one's not for you. Please try and remember this if you want to join in with this thread.

So what's everyone up to, chill-40K-wise? My current project is trying to finish painting the contents of the Command Edition set by the end of the month. Our local game shop is re-opening next week and my wife and I are going to go and spend an afternoon playing through the Command Manual introductory scenarios – for me it'll be a way of easing into 9th ed, which I haven't had a chance to try yet, and for her, despite not being particularly invested in the hobby, it's a chance to do something a bit different after being cooped up in various lockdowns for so long. Also think it'll help me focus on getting some stuff painted if I've got a gaming-related deadline looming over me. Anyone else played through that stuff and, if so, any thoughts?

I'm bouncing around some ideas for a fluffy 'High Lords of Terra' themed list:

Roboute Guilliman (and some Ultramarines)
Captain-General Trajann Valoris (with Custodes)
Morvenn Vahl ( and Battle Sisters)

I'm just not sure who or what else to take - Lord Kaldor Draigo or Grand Master Voldus? Lord Inquisitor Kyria Draxus or Inquisitor Greyfax? Another named Chapter Master? Tempestus Scions as Lucifer Blacks?

I'm probably the wrong person to respond to this, as I've been fairly vigorously anti-named-characters ever since they were first introduced, but one of the few models that's ever made me waver on that is Cawl, the massive Techpriest lad. If you're going with the theme of "all the biggest, most in-charge guys go palling around battering fools", is there room for him in there?

It's a real long term goal, but I want to have enough Ogryns/proxies in my collection to run an almost pure Abhuman force. So far I have 3 GW Bullgryn, 3 Mortian Bullgryn and Ogryn each, one big Gorilla and one (still unpainted) bear, both as bodyguard proxies.

Apart from that I have on my wishlist:
3 GW Ogryn
GWs Necromunda Slave Ogryn Gang
3 Ogryn and a Nork Dedogg from Victoria
1 Bullgryn and Ogryn each from Warploque
1 Bullgryn Commando from Mortian.

So if I come around to this I should have one Nork, 3 Bodyguards, 10 Ogryns and 13 Bullgryns. So 180 + 300 + 455 =935 points. Enough for a funny 1000 points force.



On a kind of related note I collect Death rider (or rough rider) proxies and would like to have enough to field a maxed our detachment of them, so 30 riders, 12 command squad riders and 3 commanders. So far I have 2 Commanders, 1 Command Squad and 15 riders.

I'm fully aware that both are not competetive lists, but I would Love to See this in the table top...


Oh and last but not least: If money and time were no concern I would like to own a maxed out sentinel force... 9 scout, armored and powerlifter sentinels each dir the same reason that it would look hilarious.

I'd go down the custom inquisitor route for the inquisitorial representative, as in tool them out as you please from the basic data sheet.

I think there's enough options, including a Cawl count as for the Fab Gen of the mechanicus.

An assassin of your choosing for the grand master.

As powerful a human/marine psyker rules you can get your hands on to be a count as of the Telepathica.

Another point to focus on is that most of the high lords are going to be fairly unremarkable when it comes to other metahumans on the council so you can almost get away with doing what you want in regards to count as etc.

Whats the Command Manual?

@beast_gts
Sounds like a fun project. If I don't count the two paragraphs in Rogue Trader my only knowledge of the high lords comes from 'If the Emporer had a text to speech device' videos but it's a very interesting corner (centre?) of the 40k universe.

My casual fluffy army project, which I have most of the models for now but have yet to start painting, is a Blood Axe warband loosely based on the very first army list published in WD #123. It will feature Ogryns, Human Mercs and a 'Human Advisor' - a Xenos Inqusitor. I'm adding enslaved ratlings with grot blasters, warbikers on space marine bikes, ridgerunners as buggies and goliath trucks as, well, trukks.

I'll do a P&M blog when I start properly I reckon.



Also I am interested in making Open Play a thing, here's a good vid on the subject with a very apt title for this thread:

Sounds cool! Don't forget the Ratlings for that abhuman list, the big guys need little buddies - or go old school and get some beastmen.
I've forced myself to stop at 15 death riders - I'm using Junker Sandrunners as it's a desert themed army.
Also don't you wish there was rules or even fluff for a HQ sentinel?

It's the introductory scenario book that comes with the Command Edition starter set. As far as I can tell, it takes you through the mechanics a scenario at a time, starting with like 5 Necron Warriors / 3 Marines then adding the various phases and more units as you go. Once we've got through that lot, I reckon we might have a go with the new Open War deck (sorry "Mission Pack") – I was a big fan of the one they did around the release of 8th ed.

I've already painted all the Necrons (plus a bunch more) bar the Overlord, and if I get the Marines side done plus a Redemptor I have lying around, that's a little 25PL Combat Patrol all set. Seems like a fairly manageable project for the next month or so I reckon.

Ah okay sounds good. A friend gave me the models from an old box set - assault on black reach - so similar to you, the marines from that are my little starter army for learning the game.

my current project is a custom ruleset for more interesting Combat Patrol scale games - basically a bridge between Kill Team and full scale 40k, with an emphasis on bringing back some of the mechanics that the recent editions carved away for the sake of time/complication, and increasing durability so that small armies don't just instantly obliterate each other.

ive gotten to play 2 games with the ruleset so far, and I'm really enjoying it.

in terms of silly lists I want to try, I've got wonderful 3d print files for Wracks, and i'm tempted to try a list I'm calling 'Wrack Street Back Alright!'

Basically its just Necrons by way of muscly green wrestleboys. I've got Cronos Pain Engines who can resurrect wracks, a haemonculus who can resurrect wracks, and an army trait that brings d3 wracks back to life any time they destroy an enemy unit.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Preparing the Invasion of Terra






Currently, I am building as many armies as I can (mostly through repurposed old minis) so that when I can start gaming again I can take a different army to each game.
Right now the count stands at:
- A Word Bearers Host, complete with cultists, Gal Vorbak, and lots of runes.
- An Emperors Children force containing all the noise marine I can muster.
- A Druhkari Realspace Raid force that is going to include some of the original Kabalites models to play as Trueborn.
- Two Deathwatch Watch Companies, one Primaris, and one Firstborn. I'm trying to make as many chapters with as few duplicates as possible, while also including the player characters of my group's Deathwatch RPG campaign.
I also have armies of Black Legion, repurposed from my CSM/Space Wolves/leftover 30k models, Mantis Warriors, made from an old 30k army with 3d printed shoulder pads, and my crown jewel Renegades and Heretics army that is about roughly 200ish power, the easiest way to calculate such a big army. I tried to buy as little as possible last year and I had to sell off my AoS armies to give myself space for games I actually play, so doing multiple projects using only what I had was a refreshing experience.

My dream army would be Beastmen/Abhuman army. I really want to make a Beastmen either Scions/Catachan or GSC Abhuman, but it would take a huge amount of time and money (Priced it out, talking over $3,000 USD). If I got a better job or came into money within the next 2yrs I'll do it for sure.

I would rather do Scions b.c I like the Prime transports and Abhumans fit with Guard anyways. But at the same time the playstyle fits with GSC and Catachan better, more melee focused and horde. IDK which one i would do honestly lol.

Can we also talk about other games in the 40k-iverse?

I'm planning on filling out my necromunda gangs- escher and orlock (punks v bikers). Generally play 'low powered games so a focus on knives, Las and Auto weapons and shotguns. I have a plan on expanding my escher by converting blissbarb archers into an escher 'pleasure cult' gang.

Other than that, finishing my Minotaurs primaris force, magore's fiends and khagras reavers for underworlds.

In the non 40k-iverse, I'm finishing some wmh models for a homebrew system that I can best describe as late-19th century infinity, plus magic.

Right now, my Ascendant Lord Archon is financing two competing wych cults; they get stronger as they duel in the arena. He's also reclaiming the various territories of his Splinter Realm, which were lost to daemons after the Ynarri-spawned daemonic incursion into Commorragh.

In another forum, we did a special set of Kill team rules for Rogue Traders- it includes rules for Navigators and Astropaths. I'm doing a House Locarno Kill Team, so Espern Locarno head on a Delaque body. The second in command is a Locarno Bastard, so he's an Astropath rather than a full-on Navigator; his Locarno head is modified to have just the Aquila, but still fits the aesthetic. They run with a Sister Famulous, converted from a GSC Magus a battle sister and some Fleurs de Lis from a simulacrum. The team as rounded out with a pair of battle sister escorts for the Famulous and a handful of Locarno House Guards represented by Palanite Enforcers.

I want to put together a Null Maiden Vanguard that Greyfax can lead into battle to shut down strong psychic armies.

Karamzov has a Penitent Detachment that he leads, consisting almost entirely of Penitent Engines and Mortifiers; I will be building another consisting of Morvenn and Paragons; these two will fit together to form a pure walker army.

And I'm getting close to building my sisters valkyrie and knight(s).

Glad this thread exists.

I've got an extremely extensive Escher gang setup, and I've taken advantage of the plastic sculpts to make a 'Champ-ified" versions of all my Juve models, with more expensive weaponry, extra tattoos, scars, and cybernetic bits.

Definitely going to buy the great Escher sculpts from Ghamak at some point now that I have a 3d printer to expand my gang even further.

I'm building an Armageddon Steel Legion mechanized force and am struggling really badly with visualizing the TO&E.

Platoons in the older editions were Squads + Command Squad. ASL had to take Chimeras for everyone. Platoons had 1-5 squads plus support.

Looking at other mechanized armies (like the Soviet BMP units in the Afghanistan area), platoons had 24-30 guys, which is pretty perfect for a 2 squad platoon with a command squad. Problem is that the Soviets put a lot of weight into having equal combat power in each vic, so the platoon and deputy platoon commanders were actually vehicle commanders and the platoon squads themselves were 3x6 men (6 in each tank). So I can get the number of men correct but not distributed evenly.

Also, I can't give orders out of a chimera so IDFK why I even try.

My 40k is a little on hold at the moment, just having a change of projects, but I'd like to go back to my Guard force at some point.

It's a highly armoured force but some thought's gone into the fluff behind it. Every model, even the tank commanders, has a Hostile Environment kit, with the sole exception of the Commander, who I converted from a Princeps to be smoking a cigar. I like to think he's forced the AdMech to give him augmetic lungs so he can smoke and not need the HE pack.

The list itself has some casual units in, including a Valdor and Stormhammer, the latter of which got horribly nerfed in the latest update. Would be nice to incorporate this into a list for fun at some point.

I'm also very much into esoteric KillTeams! I got a lot of ideas on all sorts of whacky teams I want to kitbash together for sone fun Rogue Trader -inspired games. I even bought most of the Blackstone Fortress boxes so I'd have a bunch of minis to use as foundations for the teams. Right now, I'm just thinking of using Open Play Kill Team rules without any additions, since ditching the battleforged requirement from KT already gives immense possibilities for fun experimentations!

On the 40K front, our group is preparing to start our 9th Ed games with a Crusade, and I'm building my lifelong dream army of Blood Angels to field as my Crusade force. I got about 50PL worth of stuff sketched out but still very much unfinished, will probably have to start the Crusade with unfinished models, but I don't recall ever playing a game where everything on the board was painted so its all good.

My terrain backlog is also immense (I don't even want to go into details hehehe)

The concentration of the core group I play with has largely shifted from 40k to AoS for the moment.

* We're 2.5 weeks into a 6 week Sigmar Escalation League at the one local shop. The aim is to grow that portion of the community in the same way we succeeded with the 40k Crusade we just recently finished. It's working quite well - we've got like 30 players, most of whom are new to the fantasy side of GW or drawn back after so long that they're effectively new. (one guys last Fantasy game was waaaay back in WHFB 4th ed!)
A lot of us are involved in this League, so it's naturally using up game time that was previously spent on 40k.

* Starting in July(?) things'll switch to a Kill Team League.

* 6 (maybe 7) of us are also starting up our own private map based Sigmar campaign this weekend. This is normal for us. We'll do a 40k campaign, then a WHFB/Sigmar campaign/Path to Glory, then some WWII, etc.
This, while designed to be a slower paced campaign, will of course use up potential 40k time....

* 40k games at the moment are sporadic, but still played. Depends upon who's available & what we feel like atm.
Especially at the most local shop my core group frequents as there's a couple of high school kids who only have 40k forces. So we're making sure to schedule some 40k so they aren't left sitting out/only playing each other in the coming weeks. And we're going to make an AoS "Store Army" & teach them to play that system if they're interested. (No gamer left behind. )

* One of the guys is already starting to brainstorm ideas for the next 40k Crusade/campaign.

Project wise 40k?
* Mostly finishing up painting assorted Necron units who earned glory (and paint) in the now wrapped Crusade. The running joke is that my models have to "Earn their paint". Do something noteworthy, gain enough xp, etc? You get painted!
* Long term project: Building my Drukhari free Drukari force. A vanguard detachment of 3x3 Talos, 3x3 Cronos, & a single elf of some sort in the HQ slot to lead them. I'm building two Talos/Cronos per month. So I'm looking at it hitting the table next Jan/Feb.
*Primaris Project: I've finally settled on a paint scheme for my pile-o-Primaris. Now to start building.....

The other thing I've always fancied doing is a 2nd ed. style Marine Crusade list:

CRUSADE
The Space Maine Codex army list can be used to represent any one of the Codex Chapters of which the Ultramarines are the most famous. It can also be used to represent a crusading force formed from several different Chapters.
Every so often the Adeptus Terra announces a crusade against an alien world, and calls for the Space Marines to provide troops for an army. The Chapters regard it as a matter of pride to contribute units towards a crusade, so small groups of Space Marines come from all over the galaxy. They joit and serve together for the duraton of the crusade, earning great honour for their Chapter.
A crusading force is chosen from the Codex army exactly as normal. However, there is no need for all the units to come from a single Chapter. You can include units from as many different Codex Chapters as you wish.

I'm currently focusing on SW, TWC specifically. But I started playing with 4 squads of 16 Bloodclaws Core part of all of my lists, it always caught my opponents off guard seeing ~80 Marines across the table. Did I win often? No, but it was fun smashing against nids and orks!

If the argument for their uniqueness is spamming Wulfen and Thunderwolves, then it wasn't really a unique army to begin with whether you like it or not.
