Suggestions on terminators/tanks?

Hello cousins, I’ve recently decided to start my own homebrew under the Dark Angels or Black Templars codex as it fits my homebrews theme.

I want to play a lot with dreadnoughts, terminator spam, or with tanks such as the repulsive executioner, but i’m unsure if there are any good lists surrounding them or methods of playing.

I know rule of cool and I’ll create my own list of them anyway, but any tips/tricks on how to utilize them or a good list would be greatly appreciated

Most fun list you’ve ever played?

Cousins! I recently have decided to join your ranks and have gotten myself a repulsor executioner to start.

I’m looking for the most fun lists you’ve ever played while being somewhat decent. I don’t plan to be entering any tournaments soon and just plan to play against my friends Lamenters.

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Advice on Terminator/Dreadnaught/Armored Vehicles?

Hello cousins, I’ve recently decided to start my own homebrew, I had originally planned to do it under the Black Templars codex as it fits the theme, but I also thought to post it here as well because I think this might fit under Iron Hands as well

I want to play a lot with tanks, dreadnoughts, and terminators such as the repulsive executioner and redemptor, but i’m unsure if there are any good lists surrounding them or methods of playing.

I know rule of cool and I’ll create my own list of them anyway, but any tips/tricks on how to utilize them or a good list would be greatly appreciated

What’s next to add to the Garden?

Currently have a brick 10 BLTs and have the combat patrol on the way. Asides from a paintbrush, is there anything else you recommend me pick up?

Kinda going for a more terminator-heavy list, so any recommendations or thoughts would be appreciated!

UPDATE: Just got the Vile Vectorium Battleforce as well

First DG Model Painted!

First time ever painting Death Guard, a lot less trim than I had expected, least coming from painting World Eaters.

Had a lot of fun painting this, took maybe ~25-30 minutes. Definitely not the best, but I do like the results first time around. Super excited to get the rest of the squad done!

Just took the plunge into DG with 10 BLT, how should I equip them?

Hello cousins, just joined the Death Guard coming from World Eaters and Emperors Children.

I just bought two boxes of the blightlord terminators because I was thinking of leaning into a more terminator-heavy army, so I was wondering how you suggest I should equip them or run them in 1x10 or 2x5

Any help would be appreciated!

Spearhead investment for Carnival Detachment?

Would the new Spearhead box for AOS be good for someone starting the Carnival detachment? I haven’t played it, so to those who have, I wonna know your thoughts

u/Ill_Rice_6735 — 3 months ago

I use a lot of Martian Ironcrust and corks for basing my World Eaters, thing is that since I have ~7k points worth of them to base, I don’t want to continuously spend so much just on such a little amount.

Anyone have any advice on similar/more cost effective alternatives?
