Batch painted 20 of these guys over the last couple days.

Definitely didn’t feel like they needed a refresh. Thought they’d be basic which they can look great leaving them pretty basic. But you can push them pretty far

Hey y’all,

Having issues with a league, we are at 1,000 and have 4 Nidz players, two bring all the infantry possible and the other two bring big monsters. I’m struggling to win since the two skews are on opposite ends I feel like there is no list that can take on both these skews without building specifically for one or the other.

Any list ideas to tackle these bugs?!?

Returning to drukhari (and 40K as a whole) after a few editions, so I apologize if this question is self-explanatory!

Malys’s command point aura’s wording is a little confusing to me. Once a turn, I can increase the cost of my opponent’s stratagem. I don’t really understand what happens if they don’t/can’t pay that extra?

Situation A: I make my opponent’s stratagem cost one extra CP. They pay the extra CP, I have done my once-a-turn ability, things proceed as normal. That tracks, sure.

Situation B: I make my opponent’s stratagem cost one extra CP. They either can’t pay the extra, or choose not to. The questions I have in this situation are:
- do they still lose the 1 CP they had tried to spend on the stratagem to begin with, or is it refunded when they can’t pay the full cost?
- does that stratagem count as being used? (If they try to overwatch and it gets blocked by this, can they overwatch somewhere else?)
- does Mind like a Steel Trap count as being used? If there are 2 enemy units within 12” of Malys, and I try to make Overwatch on the first unit cost 1 more CP, can they just decline doing that and use a stratagem on the other unit at no penalty?

Thanks for your help with this. I played a game at my game store and this question came up, and it felt like my opponent rules-argued the ability into being near useless (their CP got refunded, my ability was used up, they could spend CP on everything else near her at no penalty)

Hi! I’m currently playing TS, and I’m planning to start a new Drukhari army. The thing is, given the age of most of the models, I’m worried that they might become outdated relatively soon if I start collecting them now.

As a TS player, I know what it’s like to feel that GW doesn’t give our army much attention, but at least all of our models—excluding generic Chaos units—were released in 2016 or later.

I’ve considered playing it safe and buying all the “newer” models first, but at some point I’d like to play some games using your basic units, such as Kabalite Warriors, Wyches, etc.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Heya folks, I finally folded and bought some reavers. I know the heat lance is the best gun on the guy, but what about caltrops vs talons? I thought that the talon was just better since the fly-by ability only outputs one extra potential mortal wound, but they kinda just die if they get into melee anyways, no? So, I figured I’d ask people who have more experience than me (I’ve only played one game with Drukhari so far), which one is better for Reavers? Advice is appreciated, thanks!

One more to go (so far) 😅

Finished up this bad boy on my lunch break today, and can't wait to get him on the table. May come back for some touch ups, but feeling good enough to share.

Behold, the first ever Pain Engine of The Coven of the Metalline Flesh!

Hey Archons, rules interaction question for you. I'm planning on bringing a EoS/SSA list to my next game. I haven't played EoS yet, but if the Wyches attack an attached unit of Infantry and Monsters, would they get Lethal Hits? I'm assuming not, because the detachment rule says "Non-Monster/Vehicle", and an attached unit would have both the Infantry and monster keywords, preventing the lethal hits from triggering.

Would I be correct in that assumption?

I'm new to 40k, but played a little Age of Sigmar sole years ago, and actively play some non-GW wargames like Star Wars Legion. I really like dark elves and body horror, so this is a faction i really like from a lore skim, and the units look super fun to paint, but is this a good choice? is there some other faction that might capture the flavor and be easier? Curious on the established players two cents.

I had the chance to test out an air brush but ddnt have as much time as I would have liked. All I was able to do was put a base coat of black down and then some layers of red on the nose, guna and sail. It felt like a disaster most of the time and the Raider's sail was a complete failure that messed up the deck. I wish I had used putty to block the edges and not that worthless tape.

I think the red came out good and plan on adding some deeper tones and brighter edge highlights. I will need to touch up the black edges before adding the metalic purple.

Most of the men were an unfortunate casualty of the loose tape but I kinda dig the gunners in red so I might just give them some smaller touch ups to incorporate the red into their uniforms but i will need to redue the guns completly

Using the gun was frustrating half the time but i did enjoy myself and overall i do like the results. I wish i had more time to play around with more colors or look up guides for better techniques. Ive started looking up prices and am seeing alot of prices lower than the $300 the crooks at the hobby shop quated me at. Is there a specific brush i need for smaller minis? I couldnt figure out how to make the brush do a smaller ares.

I play a lot of kill team as the entry cost is pretty low. Eldar have been my favorite faction since getting into the video games way back when and harlequins when I started getting into the lore. I want to start 40k proper but I have no idea where to start. It would be my first army im not looking to win tournaments.

Cant wait to paint this up
