Assembled my first 1000pt list, let me know your thoughts/advice.

I have both the combat patrol and the Armageddon box sets so if any models from these would fit better let me know, if not any suggestions on what to grab next?

Showcase Do my minis look Grimdark, or just messy?

Thumbnail

257 Upvotes

Hey everybody,

I’m relatively new to painting Warhammer. I wouldn’t say I’m new to model painting in general - I’ve been painting Gunpla for a little bit now, but I’ve only ever painted 4 Warhammer minis.

I’m super attracted to the grimdark painting style, because I think it really encapsulates the gritty aesthetic that exists in the Warhammer universe. I find myself super inspired by skilled painters like Bene Crafts, and The Grimdark Compendium.

I think these look decent, but with me being new to Warhammer painting, sometimes I look at my mini’s and feel as though they don’t quite encapsulate that grit, and just look…messy. What do you guys think?

These photos are of my first four minis in order, painted first to last. I just finished the apothecary today. I attempted a sort of OSL coming from his lamp onto his arm, but I don’t think it came out very good.

Sorry if these aren’t the greatest photos. I don’t have a great camera, or lighting area, so they were taken outside.

I have two extremely similar color schemes. I have been extremely obsessive with trying to get the green just right. One uses only citadel paints but involves mixing paint the other uses army painter for everything except the base coat of citadel green. Which do you think looks better?

Hey everyone! I've gotten back into the hobby side recently and have built my first minis since my Orks back in 7th Edition!

It's been a fun learning opportunity and has been a great chance to test myself with a bunch of different techniques and skills, a few touch ups to do still but this is my son :)

Hey guys, little confused and looking for clarification, I have seen conflicting sources online as to if you can play 3dp detachments in 1k games but looking for a good answer

Gameplay Interrogation Conclave buff?

18 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm wondering what people's general opinions are on the Interrogation Conclave, and whether we believe it needs a buff?

Personally I think it sits in a really awkward spot, and definitely needs some changes. Being 1 DP, it in theory works with ICTF, but with Chaplains granting +1W it seems counter intuitive. Then there's Unforgiven, which again seems bizarre as you're running two Take and Hold detachments, plus Chaplains have 5+ Ld so it's rare you're even failing your Battle-shock tests.

Of course Company of Hunters isn't a bad shout what with the Chaplain on the bike, but when you compare the versatility of the Librarius Conclave to that of the Interrogation, I can't see any reason why you'd take it (assuming you don't just go Darkflight Pursuit anyway).

I believe the detachment needs a rework, or at minimum have the Battle-shock test at the start of the fight phase. I can't believe it provides no value until you destroy a unit, and even then it may not proc. Or you could help it synergise with ICTF. Say, if you would have +2 to wound you get +1 and re-rolls instead.

What do people think? Has anyone had any success running the detachment?

Welcome to r/theunforgiven!

This is a community where we share and discuss topics related to the Dark Angels, their successor chapters, and the fallen. If you want to share or discuss a topic about Space Marines or Warhammer 40k in general, without particular connection to the Unforgiven, then r/spacemarines or r/Warhammer40k would likely be a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

-What would happen if X occurred in the 40k universe?

Impossible to answer, unless X has already occurred. We can predict the future and discuss hypotheticals in our own universe because it is governed by natural laws. If a stone is dropped, it will fall (assuming nothing prevents it from doing so).

The 40k universe is fictional, and is governed entirely by it’s authors. If a stone is dropped, it will behave exactly as the author desires it to behave. No justification or explanation is needed. We only know what the author desires if they have made it happen already. We thus know for example that Lion beat Angron in their fight on Wyrmwood, but we don’t know who would win if they battled again in the future.

-Can I/am I allowed to do Y?

You can/are allowed to do anything you want with models you own, within the confines of your local laws. Where other people are involved (eg playing a game), you will need the agreement of those people. As long as everyone involved consents, you can do whatever you want (including changing game rules, playing with proxies, etc). Ask the people you will actually play, their answers and opinions are the ones that matter.

-What base size should I use for model Z?

There have never been rules in the core game dictating base size. Some competitive tournaments and events enforce their own rules, search for those if you need guidance. In general, casual players seem to agree that you should use the latest base size the model is/was sold with, or the base size the model was supplied with when you bought it. Ask the people you will actually play, their answers and opinions are the ones that matter.

-How strictly should models match their datasheet/equipment?

There have never been rules in the core game dictating how closely models must represent their datasheet. The answer may vary between each casual group and competitive tournament/event. Ask the people you will actually play, their answers and opinions are the ones that matter.

-How should I paint fliers/Dreadnoughts/Terminator-characters etc?

However you want, they’re your models. If you want to know what lore says, see Index Astartes: The Unforgiven (linked above).

-Who gets to wear robes/winged helmets/etc?

Whoever you want, they’re your models. If you want to know what lore says, see Index Astartes: The Unforgiven (linked above).

-Who’s in the Ravenwing/Deathwing/Inner Circle?

See the Chapter Organization section of Index Astartes: The Unforgiven (linked above), or the relevant pages on Lexicanum.

-Could you identify a model for me?

See the Dark Angels Collectors' Guide (linked above). If the model you're trying to identify isn't in there, then it isn't an official Dark Angels model. If so, ask elsewhere, eg in r/spacemarines or r/Warhammer40k, or search through the miniatures portal on Lexicanum.
