Why thank you. It's averland sunset (GW) as a base, then the depreciation was burnt umber (vallejo), the panels then got a highlight on the inner part with yriel yellow (GW) and then a further highlight inside those areas with flashgitz yellow (GW). Then I made a glaze with Averland Sunset and the vallejo glaze Medium (though the GW lhamia medium works too) and went all over that which is what you see in that picture. 

So yellow, brown, yellow, yellow, watery yellow.

Plus you don’t get to run around your living room making wooosh-zoooom-wooosh noises while holding Infantry.

Umm there is a member here who only lurks, that may or may not play with my models and make pew pew noise with them.

They look fun. I feel that they almost don't have e out shots for the points level as this one is 148 and that's a bit more than 8 lootas

Yea but they look cool, and that's what the league is mostly about.

Well I may have "accidentally" bought 4 more knights...

Guess I'm going to have to actually play knights in some tournaments next month now that I have my third Gallant.

I really want to play orks but I'm not going skimp on the painting and that's just taking so long.

Well I guess this list will work (and I have over 1000 points painted already):

I personally like flyers... 

And since mine is actually getting painted. (and has 4 colors believe it or not), they are much better than tanks not yet assembled for use 😛

That yellow is pretty darn good. For both orks and marines!

I'M REPLAYING EVERY GAME AND SEEING SO MUCH MORE DEATH

There is a warlord trait that makes it flat 4 damage as well.

@Lyraeus if your gonna run the loota bomb one of them should be 10 models as mob up says 10 or less & 10 or more.

Sounds like GW doesn't see imperial soup as an issue. <Sigh>

Cause it's not.

Wonderful. And now people will read that and determine that this is how GW thinks we should be playing the game.

Or since gw is having more of a hand in competitive play (such as running the twitch stream for the LVO) and white dwarf should cater to all players this is just showing one way to play.

Am I the only one that all these photos are broken links?

Umm they are linked to Imgur. It is the only way I know how to do it.

So maybe.

If you want, I can describe  the pictures to you. Kinda a service for link disabled. 🙂

As an aside, when compared to TAU stuff, I think the Repulsor is both insanely cheap AND should not be a dedicated transport (very close to being a lord of war).

Its 250-300 points for essentially a bunch of heavy bolters and a not needed transport capacity. Making it a LoW would make it absolutely useless as it would eat a detachment. 

It's pretty alright when given rerolls. It actually good when parked next to Bobby G.

But yea, marines struggle to do... anything. Scouts tend to get the job done better in almost every way. But then your playing scouts and moving further away from what you want to do. With marines your best just taking what you like and just rolling dice.

On hellblasters, the only way I've gotten them to work is with deathwatch, deepstriking them with a captain and getting the rerolls. That way they get 1 very accurate turn of shooting before you remove them.

Do you care if your competitive? Do you just want to have a chance each game? Do you just want cool models?

CSM is a solid middle tier choice. Great hq's, some of the best strats in the game, excellent powers.

Demon princes, berserkers can form a solid core to a csm army. If you wanna branch out a bit, 30 bloodletters is a solid choice as well. If you want to fully embrace chaos in all forms, you can use Morty. Chaos in loans toward horde type armies but it can be avoided. Probably go with berserkers in rhinos, 40/10/10 cultists (you might as well get full use of tide of traitors), khorne winged dp with axe, 30 man blob of bloodletters and appropriate hq's. Sprinkle other things in to taste.

Custodes is also a very low model count army that is very choppy/shooty. Obviously bikes are amazing but the other units received a points drop.

But as pax pointed out, knights is the lowest model count army out there. A Castellan, 2 Gallants is a solid start. Excellent shooting, very strong cc.

But to be fair you'll find extremely  low model count armies struggle to win. They simple can't grab enough objectives. Hence the popular "Loyal 32" slotted into almost every Imperium army. Although thats not really accurate  as most of the time it's far more than 32 guard models 

And necrons are not what your looking for to be sure.

I almost did it! Unfortunately I dont think I can finish the 6th knight (stupid 2nd hand lancer). So my knight household is gonna be slightly smaller than expected.

This guy sucked though. No chainsword, no shoulder things, messed up paint. But he turned out ok.

The whole family! Currently...

Probably gonna run 2 Gallants, helverin with catachans and vultures.  Vultures may be nice now with so much orks running around.

I mean you could add a few runtherders into the mix. That makes fearless grotz.

Any TO that would turn that away is a TO I don't want to play with.

I dont think any TO would!

How do you figure? I haven't been playing 40K the longest (started day 1 of 5th ed), but the community engagement didn't even exist back then. The old GW would have out the Vigilus FAQ out 6 months later, and if you didn't like it... too bad!

Still sell overpriced toys.

Still dont know how to write rules and all the problems that come from that.

Do they engage with customers now? Absolutely and its amazing. Is GW in a better place than it's ever been? Heck yea!

They are more the overly friendly used car salesman now, rather than the drug dealer that knows your going to buy regardless.

Awesome idea... but is it tournament legal with only two colors? 😄

They are still the same GW. They just fix mistakes faster, kinda.

So you didnt like your super tough warbiker?

Mathhammer says my Dreadnought should have put ~6 unsaved wounds on them in one shooting phase... But that’s the Dice Gods for ya. 

He didnt hulk smash them? That seems like a good way to deal with a piranha.

No games or anything just 4 done, 2 to go.

Just now, Ish said:

 

Well... um... some of them are. My painting progress has been abysmally slow. 

It's ok! I gave up on painting orks for the moment to paint knights. Maybe I'll have a fully painted army this way.

But yea, all yellow all the time is a bit hard. You do have a airbrush yea?

What's his track from?

Hilariously, on the rest of the internet, people are kvetching about how the terrain in this set is useless... 🙄

Well as seen in my recent thread, I have a bunch of unpainted new terrain. Which this stuff fits perfectly with. 

I was going to give the terrain actual basing and this stuff would be perfect debris to go inside.

Hopefully a bunch will show up for sale by the people saying its usless.

You have. And this is certainly unorthodox. Yeah, blows my mind that this would work. I think I need to go back and relook at somethings.

Anyway, thank you very much for sharing. Definitely helps. 

Keep in mind just because his list works for him doesn't mean a similar one will work for you. 

Ynnari/Craftworld is one of the best armies in the game but I cant play it well because its playstyle just doesn't function for me. 

The lettering is yellow. Are the models yellow as well?

I need to find one more aux grenade launcher bit myself. They seem ok but they look super cool also.
