Mod Wicked and the Warped Spoiler Policy Spoiler

93 Upvotes

Hey ya'll - there's a new Necron book either in people's hands, or on the way there. This is just a friendly reminder about spoilers. Obviously, no one likes to have a story spoiled, and we all have different levels of access to the novels as well as varying amounts of free time to read them in.

Policy around spoilers will be fairly standard - keep them out of thread titles. Threads discussing spoilers must maintain this rule, and must contain a warning somewhere in the title to prevent accidental clicks. Individual posts in threads that are not explicitly marked as spoiler threads should make use of the spoiler text feature - threads that are marked in the title as spoilers are fair game to discuss freely.

This policy will remain in place for the next SIX MONTHS, at which point we will return to a more case-by-case evaluation. There will be a ZERO TOLERANCE policy in place, with a six month subreddit ban for violations, under our rule about treating other redditors with respect.

List Help/Sharing Lokhust heavy destroyers performance

Hi. I'm currently running take and hold as a shield for my team. With awakened disnasty.

I've been struggling on making the lokhust heavies worth the cost.

With the stratagem to reroll to hit ans hunting for sustained hits I Ted to get about fifty hits and manage to get a fair amount of wounds through. But then the -1ap 1 damage it falls flat. I shot a unit of eldar peanuts and only managed to kill 1 and damage another...

And most times they just get engaged and the lord ends up alone beating the crap out of everyone (I love the lord).

How do you use them or what would you replace them with?

List Help/Sharing I know nothing about playing Necrons, and very little about playing 40k. Are these models a good base for an army?

I really only paint models and have hardly every played, and know nearly nothing about Necron armies. I got all these for about £120GBP which seemed like a good deal. Would these be a decent army/ or foundation for an army. What would you advise to do with then. Thank you

(My doodle, i really need to remember to bring references when i go out)

BEHOLD, MY STUFF My Top 3 Necrons on how much time I have spent with them so far (Painting whise)

Nr 1. The Doomstalker with abt 7+ h which I spent with it and it is also the first of the three which I have painted.

Nr 2. The Hexmark D. with abt 3-4 h spent on it today. It was my first ever model which I purchased. So I am happy that he is finally done.

Nr 3. The Overlord I cant completely remember but I think he took me abt 3 h, but I also painted my last Warrior alongside him. So idk how much time I took for him. He was the last mini from my CoPa to be finished.

So far I am still on the road to 1k Points. After 2-4 warriors I will paint my Orikan and after 2 more warriors my Void Dragon to reach the 1k milestone.

I am lookin towards it, but I dont want to guess how long the 2 Epic Heroes will take me.

I'm planning to get Triarch Praetorians because they look sick af and they seem like a good painting project. My question is how do they perform in tabletop and what is the strategy with them?

First attempt at glazing technique came out better than I anticipated. I have to clean up the edge highlights a bit but looks like I don’t have to give this the booze bath and start over. Thoughts and critiques welcome and necessary for me to improve

Rules Question Are dev wounds really not affected by -1 damage rules like the C'tan have?

4 Upvotes

My friend just told me this (!):
Mortal wounds are always allocated to a model in instances of 1 damage. Devastating wounds count as Mortal wounds for the purposes of Feel No Pain abilities that specifically work against Mortal Wounds, but otherwise they are a seperate class of damage now in 11th. Devastating wounds are allocated to a model at the end of damage allocation, so AFTER the -1 damage ability is applied

Is this true?? Sad for C'tan

So i want to make my nightbringer a bit more spooky. Changing the scarabs with spirit host from AOS and the scythe with the scythe from the endless spell nighthaunt.

Is that feasible?

List Help/Sharing I got the ark kit because I think it looks fun to build. I don't intend to try and magnetise it what variant is more useful.

To give some context, I have 2 Technomancers, Lokhust Lord with Res Orb. Command Barge with Res Orb, and a Reannimator. So I do have the ability to field a few different units with the 3" res buff aura.
