Champion Cause and Sanctification

A Champion that *must* take Unholy Sanctification cannot take a Cause marked Holy, if my reading of the Cause section is right.

Obviously I can just ask my GM about my idea but I just like to see if it's kosher RAW or not before I do.

(It's Grandeur for Ussharassim btw, I think it fits thematically for a poet Champion, if you twist it to selfish grandeur.)

Color Planning: Disco Lord

Howdy everybody! I'm going for a good ole "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him" vibe with my Disco Lord.

HOWEVER I have honest to goodness no idea what I should be doing to represent "pale horse". I'd just go for a white base and wash it with grey, but I don't think that will work with the mechanical panels and all of the trim.

On some of the bigger ones I could pretty easily still do a grey -> white glaze build up or highlight, but I worry about drowning it out with silver trim, and the rest of the army has brass trim.

Anyone done something similar and have ideas?

image attached is model in question, not my work though.

Getting Extra Special Weapons for BLT

I have a few BLT from a buddy, and another box to build. Problem is, he built those models years ago and they're built with combis.

I know I can get Lord Felthius' box to get the second spewer, but there's no way in hell that box has the launcher and auto cannon, right?

The terminator variants are much larger than the regular marine ones, I assume.

Anti-Tank Option

In the opinion of the class, what do you guys think about this?

I have 2x Vertus Praetors and a Shield Captain, all with the salvo launchers, as well as a squad of terminators+ a shield Captain, and two Achillus dreadnoughts.

Is this enough Anti-Tank and heavy armor to justify not taking a Caladius in Take And Hold? (Shield Host + Moritoi)

I'm a Kitbash monster

Hey friends! Just popping in to ask the question for people that own the model; do you think the Gothizzar Harvester would look absolutely ridiculous on a 60mm base if I remove the tail and potentially the basket?

My plan is to do some surgery on one to be a Custodes dreadnought (insane, but thematic, I promise.)

The thin side of the 105mm is 70, so I'm worried about too much overhang.

Opinions, Thoughts, Questions, Concerns?

Switching off Contagion Engines and drone spam, transitioning to the peak that is DLC and PoP.

Is the Typhus Poxwalker Brick Overkill? Should it just be more blightlords?

The plan is to use him as my sponge for shooting while the poxwalkers are just ablative wounds essentially.

Walk the Blightlords up for pressure, using the poxwalkers infiltrate for some easy obj and actions early as I move the land Raider up with the PM in it.

Blight Hauler is a Blight Hauler, DST are DST.

Finishing up the Death Knights

Been doing my Custodes based on a scheme by a fella named SliggPaints.

This is my Jetbike Shield Captain and Trajann Valoris.

Reikanor the Grimhailer and Urkhan the Dark Warden as the base models, respectively.

I have another two bikes that are on the Nighthaunt cavalry as well.

Woodcut Style Art

My tattoo artist has gotten into some really sick woodcut style tattoos lately, and I've been wanted to get something Warhammer done.

While I look myself, any chance you guys have seen cool engraving style art for 40k I can send her?

Death Guard specifically but any in general for the vibe would be helpful.

Help with Box Plans

Hey pals, recently got two Murderwing Boxes on a good deal, and an old raptors box super cheap.

​

Should I just build one murderwing and the raptors box as all Warp Talons and save the other box for just kill team, or is it work also running a Chaos Lord and Raptors alongside the 10 man.

​

​

I know we JUST got the points for 11th today, but I'm dogshit at thinking ahead.

11th Ed Melee Support

Okay so grain of salt because we don't know points yet, nor (afaik) what counts as Support units in DG.

​

​

BUUUUUT, assuming I circumvent rhinos with Flyblown Infiltrate, running Lord of Poxes as a leader, what do we think is going to be more important, Plague Surgeon/Putrifier/Blightbringer? First two both give 5+ Crit, vs the movement buffs of the BB and I don't think a Blightspawn is worth it considering the changes to fights first and it's only once a battle.

​

This is also assuming Blightbringer is not a leader.

Contagion Engines

Anyone else thinking of going full drone?

Obviously we don't know what the Wargear/Point Stepping will be yet, but 6 bloat drones (3 HBL/3 Mowers or Spitters)

could be worth it?

Plus buffing Helbrutes and Haulers seems solid.

Not sure if I'm dropping the defilers for sure yet, but we can definitely expect Morty's Anvil to also be an ENGINES detachment, I think.

Deep Guard Galactic

So I've been working on my "Deep Guard Galactic" a squat IG regiment based on the game series Deep Rock Galactic.

Just thought I'd show off my mod to the Sentinel, I'm pretty proud of it.

Space Marine Centurion Assault Drill fits pretty decently into the arm for the chainsaw.
