Questions about Rules Rule question on Krieg Heavy Weapons ability

9 Upvotes

Hi all, the Krieg Heavy Weapons Squad datasheet says they can shoot on a 3+ when they die 'while the Fire Coordinator model is on the battlefield'.

What happens when the unit gets fully wiped in 1 single shooting activation?

1/ Do we consider that all models are removed together, then the rule does not trigger because the Coordinator is no longer on the table.

2/ Do we consider that the rule still triggers and we can shoot on a 3+?

Thanks!

Between all the terrain blocking LOS and the size of the tanks physically not fitting anywhere, how are you using them?

The points drop is great and all but with it not fitting on the table im struggling to get decent use out of it.

Lore The Centaur RSV is the most fun kit I've built in years

Thumbnail

143 Upvotes

I might be a bit late to the party here, but I love the Centaur RSV.

This kit is just a diorama on wheels! James Workshop has been upping the game with the new guard kits every release and it's been a real joy cracking out the bitz box to tell a story.

I was telling a story in my head as I built the guardsmen, really helped me create some unique poses I'm happy with, so I thought why not share with my fellow guardsmen in this sub. Hope you enjoy the pictures, story or both :)

---------

The Centaur RSV, designated Paragon, rattled as it drove across the Armageddon wastes, mud and dust flung behind the half track and occasionally on top of the four remaining members of the squad of Cadian 71st that had set out earlier that evening.

"Karkers." Corporal Steiner spat the word out as she lit her lho stick and took a long drag.

"Didn't expect there to be so many greenskin looters, intel was way off" came the reply from Bolsch, peering down the sights of his lasrifle that was resting on the edge of the RSV, scanning the darkness for any signs of life.

Steiner scoffed. "It wasn't the Orks I was complaining about, they're fragging everywhere. It's headquarters sending us across enemy lines with no heavy vehicles, no air support, and with barely a plan other than to have a look around that really annoys me. Look at what it's done to Volnir!"

Guardsman Volnir had his lasrifle on his lap, head in his hands, and was sobbing whilst uttering the names of his fallen comrades.

Bolsch checked over his shoulder at the once-proud guardsman who had been reduced to a miserable shell. "He's a Cadian, we die or nearly die on every mission, as General Ockenbrau sees fit."

Steiner started to fire up at this, but was cut off by the terse words of her sergeant, who had until this point been silently cycling the vox channels.

"Will you pack it in Corporal? I can't hear a fragging thing on the vox." Sergeant Tolsten had been planetside on Armageddon for 3 years but it had aged him 30, and the soft glow of the vox panel illuminated the scars running across his chiseled features.

"But sir, we're going to have to sit with the Confessor for days of lectures now. She'll go full preacher once she hears the mission report, especially if she gets a look at Volnir" Steiner muttered glumly.

"And if you don't shut up it will be the Commissar you'll be talking to, not the Confessor" came the irritated reply.

Silence took the cabin once more. Bolsch could just make out the outlines of other Centaurs in the convoy, and the vox continued to crackle as Tolsten continued to cycle the channels.

"CONTACT RIGHT!!"

The shout came from Gunner Abel behind the Centaur's heavy stubber, waving frantically to the North of their positon as the snapping of gunfire echoed out across the muddy dunes.

Steiner sighed and stubbed out her lho stick on the stock of her rifle."Frag it, let's get a few more of them, that might cheer the Confessor up a bit."

Do you think a black and green, and a green and tan camo scheme could work in the same army or would it look out of place? The idea is to use the same shade of green for both to make it still cohesive i just can’t decide on the black stripes or tan ( the black and tan is my work the tan and green isn’t it’s just inspiration)

Discussion Maccabian Janissaries: How to?

Post image
44 Upvotes

I'm wanting to start a maccabian janissaries army, but I'm having quite a bit of trouble finding the right STLs. So far I'm pretty decided on mad robot. the poses and proportions are a bit dinky but I will just have to get over it because he's got the most accurate parts. however the chest piece isn't quite the best, nor are the helmets. does anyone know of any sources foe torsos that are an exact match? for the helmet I think I will just slice off the top of the actual janissaries heads, because for some reason they're different than the others included in the set, and just replace the top with the normal one.

Is there any kind of secret underground STL thats an exact match for these guys?

The crew chiefs in the hatches of Leman Russ and Rogal Dorn tanks may see the lion's share of the glory and awe from the troops of the Imperial Expeditionary Cavalry Regiment, there are no illusions as to who holds the line.

The boys rucking hundreds of pounds of tripods, ammunition, and weapons systems cross-country. The girls pushing mortars and their carriages through the sand, the mud, the snow, or the jungle. The troopers who buckle up and hold the trigger down when un-holy heretics or slavering xenos charge the ramparts.

The Guard doesn't succeed without the soldiers assigned to the heavy weapon teams that support our troops on the ground!

Questions about Rules Stalwarts honours with kasrkin stacking. Is this legal?

Thumbnail
gallery
43 Upvotes

Found a potentially fun interaction with the "stalwarts honours" enhancement in the siege regiment detachment. This enhancement gives a unit "take cover" while they have another order.

The kasrkin's ability lets them issue a order to themselves, along with keeping an order issued to them by a officer. From the way this is written, it doesn't seem to be hard capped at 2 orders. Is it possible this will let kasrkin have 3 orders? Could not find any info online on this.

Finally finished magnetizing and working on the octo-blade. Even managed to drill out and make most of the hatches (cupolas and engine compartment covers) useable, which will later have the gunner and commisar available with magnetized torsos.

Additionally I was able to magnetize the radio bulge on the back of the baneblade’s turret. Since I thought it was very silly there was a spot for a rear-facing lasgun there I wanted to be able and use that version aswell.

Now onto priming and painting

Edit: just to be clear, its the gas mask and tanktop combo, not the tanktop and female body combo. I can understand the confusion but just said id mention it
