So I will be playing my first games of 11th edition this week vs Death Guard (1k) and either Ad Mech or Thousand Sons (2k). I have just reached 2000 points of painted models and as such my list is far from meta, I am just looking to throw some dice and learn the new edition.

I am still a bit overwhelmed with all the new changes, haven't played since early 10th edition so any advice on my list or tips on detachments, loadouts, wargear etc is appreciated. I'm not looking to change the list much, just some help with optimising what I have, TIA

Posting my finished shroud runners because I said I would. Not super happy with some parts but pushed myself to try some wet blending on the cloaks. These models have a sneaky amount of work in them, three bikes and six riders took a lot longer than i thought they would 😰 first time using transfers too. Is it weird that the bases are my favourite part? 😆

Tried to challenge myself to paint a proper face with glazing and trying to paint the hair properly. Its really fun when you dot the eyes and they come out cross eyed, super easy to fix /s 👀

Had an idea to experiment with sponge painting to create the classic alaitoc camo but to do it in greyscale and apply a filter of blue over the top with my airbrush. Really happy with the results! Will post the full unit when the riders are finished
