Victory at Sea - Fleet Builder (not mine)

I found this great fleet builder that lets you not only choose ships but also select variants and view their game stats—all accompanied by small illustrations showing their period-accurate camouflage.

It doesn't cover torpedo boats (yet?), but it allows you to add carrier-based and land-based aircraft as well as submarines, calculate point values ​​and reconnaissance scores, and even share/import fleets.

I think this is probably the best list builder I’ve seen in a long time, and a fundamental resource for making the game more accessible!

Invoking Admiral Ching Lee spirit for this 1942 showdown

The US Navy engaged the Imperial Japanese Navy amidst a chain of South Pacific islands in a 2,000-point match that lasted three hours. The Japanese were assigned a "Breakthrough" objective, while I had a "Destruction" objective. The Americans' overwhelming reconnaissance advantage placed the Japanese at a disadvantage, leaving them isolated in two separate pockets.

The volume of fire from the New Mexico-class battleships proved too much for the Japanese heavy cruisers—powerful but few in number—who failed to break through USN cruiser screen. The IJN ultimately retreated, though Japanese aircrews lived up to their fearsome reputation, decimating the US destroyer in a courageous rear guard action.

Banned from GW store for bringing FW Leman Russ

Hi everyone, I need a little help

I was banned yesterday from my town GW store for bringing a Mars Alpha Leman Russ to a game, a forgeworld kit that was the traditional DKoK chassis. The clerk thought it was an illegal 3d printed model and refuted every argument that I made (even showing the miniset page of the model) and banned me for the shop.

What can I do about it ?

Edit : I will call the shop today and see if I can talk about that calmly with someone else.

Need help building a Excindio Battle Automata

Hi everyone,

I want to make a Excindio Battle Automata, inspired by the work of k0rdhal and the fan art made from his work by Pascal Dimnik. The idea is to source bits that I can use, and i'll try to sculpt something out of them, and I need your help to find some components idea.

As for the weapons and build, I really want to use a nerve shredder, so two arms will/should hold the weapon, a bit like Tyranid warriors. By base will be a Arachni-rig, as u/far-try-4681 made for his own, but with longer legs, such as the Ash-wastes Arachni-rig ones, as K0rdhal.

So... Any idea of cool bits that could be a :

A Nerve-shredder or anything evoking old esoteric and supremely high tech weapon ?

An insectoid/Matrix machines looking head piece ?

Anything to ornate/upgrade/remplace the body that evoke Mens of Iron ?

If you have any other idea that dont fit theses categories, feel free to add them !
