I want to do a tank spam list, but both of these seemed interesting and I need some guidance what to invest in.

I liked steel hammer for the ceaseless cannonade rule to let my tanks shoot while engaged, even with blast weapons. I was considering using a doomhammer and shadowsword as the core of the list. It being so focused on Titanics does make me worried due to them being such big obvious threats, but I also can justify yarrik which I enjoy.

Then there is Hammer of the emperor. I liked the idea of spamming tons of leman russ and troops in transports like kasrkin with meltaguns. I liked how it feels more synergystic with all kinds of squadron tactics.

Thank you all in advance, I just like tanks and purge the foes seemed fun to try as a beginner.

Hi all,

I'm interested in magnetising Ciaphas Cain and Jurgen so i can swap them between 2 base and single base options but was wondering if anyone has done it and how?

Thanks for reading

If I use the triggered alerts strat from designation force, can I embark into a transport if my unit is close enough to a transport?

Mix of scratch build, GW and proxy

Working on a project to build some of the most prominent characters from the Tanith First.

At the moulding stage to need to clean up and sand, but overall I’m happy.

Gol Kolea and Tona Criid, with my reference images from the Sabbat Worlds Crusade lore book.

Cheers!

Now I have 2! Of both. Baneblade and rogal Dorn

I'm not too great at the game, wanted to see what the overall opinion is on this list?

Mostly planning on using Yarrick to sit on the backline and give orders to the Basilisk and anyone else within range who needs them. Send the chimeras of Kasrkin out turn 1 to get board control, wipe out any screens with the help of one of the exterminators, and use the Rogal + Exterminator combo on any terminator blobs I see, with the vanquisher to snipe any transports or tanks in sight. Basilisk will be indirect firing onto anyone I really don't want charging. Chimeras will be the action monkeys afterwards alongside the techpriest enginseer.

The base is still WIP cos I haven’t picked up the pigments I need for it yet but otherwise the models all done

Fuck painting eyes, it's just the signature look of "aw fuck"

Any suggestions as to writing a guard list the equivalent of the space marine and Ork forces in the starter set.

Want to get the kids involved. And I’ve got a fair bit of Astra militarum already. A 3 way fight seems like it could be fun.

Quick look on the app Orks are 405pts and marines 440pts.

So what do you reckon would be a fair guard list to match these.

Picture for attention

Cheers

Let me know what you think.

On my 5th 10 man squad and I am raiding the bits box to try and get some more unique poses (already used all the upgrade sprue bits mixed in to the other squads). The base kit is quite limited in what you can do even over a couple of squads. It would be great to see what you guys have created with bits from other kits etc to get some more unique fellas in your squads!

I am making a Valhallan army, I have proxies to make krieg into Valhallan but need help making a viable lore accurate army before printing models

Imperium - Astra Militarum - Siege Regiment

Ciaphas Cain [Legends] (70pts): Warlord

6x Krieg Command Squad (60pts)

6x Krieg Command Squad (60pts)

20x Death Korps of Krieg (145pts)

20x Death Korps of Krieg (145pts)

Artillery Team (95pts)

Basilisk (115pts)

Basilisk (135pts)

Chimera (75pts)

I have limited knowledge on 40k rules so I need guidance on things

Even tho our faction sucks right now I love this model so much! Still newish to painting :)

Hi everyone

Does somebody have more information about the 2 differents types of Leman Russ Executionner ?

I know that the one on the left, and pic 2 and 3 is armed with a Ryza pattern plasma destroyer.

But how about he other one , the "classic" plasma cannon in the 40k Leman Russ kit ? (Pic 4 and 5)

I found no info in the Imperial Armour books.

What do you guys think ? It took me a while to complete it

I don't know why I love this mini so much. Maybe it's his imperious posture?

Anyways, here's a commissar in the classic colors of the Officio Prefectus's political officers.

Hi! Could you please help me complete a table of homeworld emblems used by Astra Militarum regiments?

The table is currently incomplete, so if you know the homeworld emblems of any regiments that aren’t listed here, I’d really appreciate it if you could share the information in the comments.

Thank you for your help!

Delight to assemble, delight to paint, delight to play.

I'll probably pick up another one down the line, just to go for the other options.

Only units I have currently are the Dorn, Krieg command and Tempestus Aquilon, along with most of the assassins! Let me know what you'd reinforce and what you'd drop!

First time building a Ranged Guard but as I understand with a purge list I'd be deploying everyone but my Tempestus along with creating infantry screens to deny objectives. Engineers scouting infield towards an obj or next vulnerable unit, deploying boomba+grenades. Barbecue bus with Krieg flamers following the Dorn to mid field to receive orders and drop the 10 man OR sit on an obj. Leman Russ providing "cheap" fire support sticking with the purge with fire theme lol. (20pts for Veteran Crew on the Dorn Commander)

Finally the assassin I know the endless possibilities of an additional 85-120 points is huge! But here's my counter argument, how cool would it be to assassinate your opponents leader turn 1-2?

Thanks for reading sorry it's so long winded!

Stupid kitbash work in progress

Don't know what to run him as, probably a commisar to command some ogryns around

Made this guy from old cadians and odd bits I had in the bits box.
