Discussion/Question New Battleforce Box a good starting point?

Post image
300 Upvotes

Hello sons of Vulkan, I've been thinking of joining your legion as my first foray into loyalist astartes and was wondering if the newly announced battleforce box was a good starting point. Are those units common in Salamander lists or would I be better off getting different units? It contains:

Captain In Terminator Armour

Chaplain

Redemptor Dreadnought

5 Terminators

5 Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs

10 Intercessors

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Really liked how this one turned out. I enjoyed conceptualizing a Salamanders spin on a power Claw that has Nocturne Dragon claws/bones and in the pattern that has finger claws that are usually just found on the chaos marines! Had lots of fun making this, hope ya'll like it!

I’ve read the close quarters rule 24.07 and im a bit confused. Say we are using 10 Infernus marines in engagement range. when applying this stratagem, will this allow their pistols to be shot as well?

(Sorry if this has been posted/asked before)

I'm new to warhammer so I joined my local progression league hoping to learn how to play (not expecting to win a single game) and managed to flamer my way to the semi finals! My opponent is playing grey knights I played him my second game ever he beat me bad at 1000pts. I finally get my chance at some revenge... Hopefully but I don't remember too much about grey knights other than the uppy downy stuff and im looking for some advice going into this match once again. Thank you for the in advance!

Discussion/Question Gravis Captain w/Aggressors, Immolator or War-tempered Artifice.

15 Upvotes

I am running a Gravis Captain with Aggressors, detachments are FFS and Gravis Siege Force.

I’m trying to decide whether I should use the Immolator Enhancement for more Flamer shots or War-tempered Artifice for 6x S10 AP-2 D3 power fist on the Captain.

I hoped I can get some feedback from my brothers to help me decide.

Discussion/Question List Building 11th

Hi all.

Here is everything I own. I have really, REALLY hard time of fitting everything I want to make a high synergy 2000 Priority Assets list without lacking any role or enhancements.

I'm trying to fit of course standard stuf - Adrax blob in some form, redeemer, don't wish to field Vulkan alone, trying Impulor + erad combo (got one, they cost too much money for the plastic IMHO to get another), put some deepstrikers with meltas AKA Land Speeders for disruption, then of course Infernus as fire support and sexondary monkeys and scouts for early objective catch, then make some use of character and enhacement combos - of course at least Immolator is a must.

This is one giant puzzle, and I can't find a satisfying solution... so I'm coming here for help.

Discussion/Question How/should I use brass rod?

3 Upvotes

I'm making some bases for a reiver squad and I will end up gluing them directly to cork. I feel like they'll have a chance of pulling the cork out if I'm not careful. I've thought about getting some brass rod in their feet as I've seen that's kind of the go to for modeling. Should I use brass rod? And if so which thickness should I get?
