Completed Commissions
- Here are a few beautiful commissions we recently completed! We will also be streaming from the FLG Paint Studio today at 4:00pm! Join us on our Twitch Channel for the fun.
- Check us out for your next commission: www.FLGPaintStudio.com
The +1 to hit to skitarii shooting Stratagem actually combos with nothing except plasma not exploding.
The 2 exploding 6+ both don’t apply as they are either:
Melee (Dragoons)
Not Skitarii (Electro priests)
Also, I’ve heard bad news about Kataphrons, Servitors and so on not changing at all (Except 1 weapon that no one used on a unit that no one used) despite them being not viable at all.
Patience, grasshopper. You are not seeing the entire picture, yet =)
Oh I’ve seen some of it. And some of it is pretty good. However nothing about those 3 units in particular
Just say, Reece, if that’s even your real name!!! I’m making a list(spread sheet) and checking it twice!
Also, if the Deep Strike stratagem rumor is true, Corpuscarii could actually outvalue Brimstones/Conscripts
Tune in to FLG tomorrow for a large review of the new dex!
Its so frustrating not being able to play all these armies. Admech look so damn cool but I paint so damn slow:/
Yeah, I am a slow painter, too. Same problem.
Volume was horrible on the show could not hear any of it!
Yeah, very sorry about that. For some reason no one was monitoring audio during the show and while we’re casting it we cannot tell if there is a problem. Won’t happen again.
Luckily the audio for the podcast and videocast of the show will be good.
hmmm I did not post that!
Hey guys first yeah the volume was low but wouldn’t have posted with an exclamation. Not sure what the deal is there but don’t like that my usual handle I use everywhere comes off as a jerk (or more of one then I am anyways lol)
Anywho thanks for the shoutout for the Harvester. Gonna be a fun event. Would be awesome to have you guys up to Spokane one of these days.
We will definitely make it out one of these days, buddy.
I feel like there’s so much missed potential in the Ad Mech codex…it’s a shame.
I don’t think the missed anything, haha. We have a big review of the book hitting, tomorrow. Be sure to check it out.
Great episode chaps.
Agreed the aesthetics of some of the death guard models are a little too comical for my tastes, but I’m sure a dark paint job will make them look menacing.
You’re right that they’ll be super vulnerable to alpha strikes so not sure how competitive they’ll end up being
Agreed, the paint job is what does it.
The alpha strike will be their Achilles heal I think, more so than most armies. If you Rhino up though, I think they can get it done.
I don’t care where I’m posting this, BUT FUCK YES ADMECH DEEPSTRIKE.
1) Low mobility
2) No transports
3) One-dimentional lists
all gone. 1 CP to delete any unit in the game. Makes half the units more viable(Destroyers and servitors still suck so far :p)
Actually destroyers now don’t explode from plasma if you pay 2CP. Hm….
Hey so I noticed GW got rid of marked gods elites as troops in the August update of the CSM codex update? So we go back to elites with the ones that were troops?

Nevermind misread it.
I have been doing absolutely amazing with my Death Guard over in europe in various tournaments and store games and i havent really seen many people play the style of death guard i do.
Currently im looking into transitioning into:
Mortarion
Daemon prince
Epidemius
3 Blight drones with flamers
Blight hauler
Some blightking termies
and then a couple of troops and some extra daemonic vehicles such as either a plagueburst crawler or some more drones. Perhaps a sorcerer with jumppack to warptime mortarion.
Pretty much everything in that list is a Nurgle Daemon so they trigger epidemius. Kill a couple of units and the buffs really start rakcing up. Thought Death Guard were hard to kill? Try killing them at T8 or even T9 on the crawler.
Been working absolutely great and its neat the codex allows for such varied playstyles. Cant wait to get some more multi part plague marines and try footslogging behind haulers or doing the whole poxwalkers in a rhino bomb. Imo one of the most fun and flavourfull releases GW has done in a long time (besides GSC)
Epidemius might rise up in popularity a bit used in conjunction with daemon Deathguard units, but I think he’s still fairly risky. To get to +1T you need to *completely* destroy 5 units (run away units don’t count because the Nurgle daemon didn’t finish them off).
Depending on the list that can be literally impossible or just very difficult. Especially for an army that needs to get close to do maximum damage. Not that the previous bonuses aren’t good well, it’s just not 100% guaranteed to get that T8 on Morty or anyone else in a timely matter.
Glad you are doing well with them. You should dominate, now. They get much better.
Salty Banana’s 40K history was the best part of an already great episode.
Yep, i really liked this. It’s good content and adds value to the podcast (funny too).
Glad you liked it =)
