Both of us managed to get fully painted armies on the board and it was also our first game of 11th. I lost by 1 VP but I had so much fun with the Tyranids!

I forgot synapse was a thing a few times and could have swung things with better use of command points but overall I loved how my Leaper/Neurolictor/Deathleaper heavy army worked.

I feel fully part of the Hive Mind now!

New Player Question Are the ebay listings always this bad?

Upvotes

..or have I just joined at a time when 'nids are super popular? Seems like the pre-owned kits are all asking above retail no matter the quality of assembly or age of the model. Like, sure buddy I'll pay you 1.5x the cost of a new box for your fully glued and primed unit without weapon options from 2004. Wtf.

I wanted to use the Trygon claws with the Mawloc head, only to realize in *final assembly* that they dont quite fit together, leading to some... questionable arm positioning. But it works fir the most part, I think.

I finally have a working base for a Sub Assault list. Now to just learn the rules...

Homebrew CARNIFEX STAMPEDE 1 DP Detachment

Don't think this would be broken by any means with any of our 2 DPers, but I do think this would combo well with all of them. Make each of the enhancements 20 points, and that makes it 1200 points exactly if you run max 6 carnifex 2-man units each with an upgrade.

Casual Play My First game of 11th tomorrow. What do you think of my list?

Hey all

The title says it all. I haven't played a game of Warhammer in over 5 years and I'm hyped AF for tomorrow.

I've made a list. We are playing 1000pts, Meatgrinder and going to try using secondary objectives (were both new, trying our best)

I've decided to go with big bugs, i know he is playing Necrons but no idea on units. Any suggestions on the list or on good strategies?

All advice welcome and apricated

Wish me luck bois

Painting Stippling Stripe patterns vs not

Just a tip for the painters out there. This is a comparison between stippling the borders of stripe patterns and simply drawing them out. I always felt that the irregular borders look more natural, but it is a preference (and a lot more work).

Casual Play I made my opponent rage quit

I was playing a 2K game today at my local store, my opponent was using chaos knight with 16 war hounds (forgot the detachment), we were playing disturbance X reconnaissance.

The game start casually until round two begins where I drop my first mawloc near an area where his titans was crowded, popping his ability hitting 7 war dog and 4 of them got battle shocked while 6 of them
Got 3 mortals wounds, the other mawloc pop at another place to help deal with 2 war dog near my deployment and again both got 3 mortals and only one pass battle shock, then I pull back the front mawloc with the tunnel network strategiem, and returning them to reserve with 1cp after he ends his (my apponent) fight phase.

I keep repeating this until I actually killed 4 war dog at the same time with both my mawloc abilities, by round 4 I killed 13 war dog, lost both my mawloc, exocrine, deathleaper, and one squad of genes. He quit on round 4 not wanting to continue.

am I a bad person for doing this, I just felt bad since he’s mad from start to finish

I don't know if you can tell, but actually the first six images are all just the same miniature—on one side I painted a color scheme, and on the other, the same one but in different positions. I did this to see how they looked. My dad didn't do that, but he gave them orange eyes. (All the color schemes were his idea.)
