I have 3 volkite preds and a full volkite kratos in my spearhead list. The preds really do work. They put out a LOT of shots and being one of the few vehicle squadrons that can intercept/overwatch/return fire with full effect is a meaty little benefit

That is true. S6 limit on vehicles is absurd for reactions tbh, especially considering that dreads (which are smaller than tanks) just ignore this... like half the rest of ruleslimitations...

Trying to decide what to build tonight.

Another Contemptor, or a squad, maybe two, of Tactical Support.

Alternate fun and less fun kits, to help prevent burnout slogging through stuff that’s not quite as exciting as you like.

I do quite enjoy building the MkVI marines. But I blitzed 40 at the weekend, and a Contemptor.

Given it a rest tonight as I’m chatting someone up!

Great success on the trial print run. Second tray running now - a Rhino, a Javelin and some Land Raider parts since I still had room left over.

My beautiful baby boy

He looks fantastic 😍

I’ve been working on some demon brutes to go along with my death guard

ohhh my thats beautiful

that... is an oddly fitting stand in

Anyways, i did my tartaros.

and i started on my sicarian.

Honestly it's starting to grow on me.

That is some lovely freehand.

I had 2 boxes left over from using them for my fantasy wood elves so thought they’d work pretty well, done decently in the 2 games I’ve bought them too as well

30k point Dropsite event

With the remaining six aspirants finished, my possessed librarius posse is now up to ten men strong and ready for their first (err, last...?) suicide mission. Click the pictures to see details.








Wondering if bound daemon brute rules would be good for representing these unlucky fellows on the table as they're herded against the enemy lines.

Finished building 5 more terminators to fill out the squad started in BaC. Will it blend?

1st Legion Vets squad using MKII bodies and MKIII arms and weapons etc made up from spares in the bits box

Also a pair of Sabres ready to go tank busting

Fancy squad and good job on the combining of armor marks !

I hope you magnetised them

Pratting with bits and wondering (as a newbie to 30k) if something like this will pass off as a Nemesis Bolter.
Going to make a unit of 5. Not sure which slot I'll use. Most likely the Fast Attack slot unit that has 5 WS.

I'm working on ... wings.

Looks good to me!

Looks visually distinct, without being Just Another Slightly Different Bolter

Cheers.
I'll see how they paint up. The only annoying part is going to be the hip firing models which will look silly with a sniper rifle. I'll have to turn their heads the other way or something so it looks like they're looking somewhere else rather than hip firing.

Is one (or more) of those weapons no longer available/not optimal in 2.0?

no, but sabres are expensive, hence magnetisation is prefered.

They'll chew through your magnet supply pretty quick but are otherwise fairly easy to get fully magnetized up. One for the pintle mount, two for the weapon and 2 for the... what would you call it? Ammo/energy panel?

So for a full weapon set all magnetized up you'll want maybe 21 small magnets or 13 chunkier ones.

Not even sure the panel bit, given it lies flat, will need a magnet or two?

Finished up five more Iron Hands Despoilers to make a 20-man unit. Pretty good timing considering a friend as just started his Emperor's Children army.

Transparent bases looking good.

While waiting for my next box of Mk III Marines to arrive, I converted 5 bolters into Nemesis bolters:
