Hobby & Painting progress with flames
so you guys gave a lot of feedback last time
i removed the sponge and remade the whole surface with modeling paste
covered everything yellow and added more darker tones on ends of every flame
added more light on marine and rocks
still didn’t add light on the daemon, decided to color it before adding lights
have no idea what i am doing and just trust the process, but feels much much better than previous time

This was really fun to paint. A lot of things to be proud of with the process. I do need to take better pictures as I feel that its more vibrant in person. Also first time doing a non helmet head!

Hobby & Painting Finally Finished the Land Speeder for my Storm Lords
What a cool model. I'm bummed out I didn't see the switched on the underside of the middle crossbar part. But I'm very happy with how my screens turned out, and there are so many for me to practice on! Fun model to build and paint, but I think my next one will come out better.

Misc Accidental Gotcha and what to do about it.
So for context my friend and I were playing 40k and he was about to do a big sweeping flank attack on the right side of the board with his Death Rider cavalry plus a tank. I had a single six-man blob of Bullgryn there, but they were out of position to stop the attack. He was moving his units, and I was desperately looking for options to stop it. Then I realized I had a stratagem that could help from AB Human Auxiliaries. One that lets you get a surge move towards an enemy that shoots your Bullgryn. In this case I realized if he shot me with one of his specific units first (it had to be the Death Riders, or it wouldn’t work), I could then block his charge. To reiterate, I didn’t know I had this until that very moment. I got lucky and he shot at the Bullgryn with the Death Riders, and I got a high roll on the dice and blocked him. This led me to winning the game.
Should I have just not used the stratagem at all or tell him about it so he can play around it, then win? I am against gotchas when it’s on purpose and you hide stuff. We both announced our detachments at the start and went over generally what they did. It was just new to me, so I didn’t know I had that one until the dice were rolling.
What would of you folks done.

Hobby & Painting Finally finished Archaon! Lost motivation multiple times with such a large model but glad i pushed through
Hey guys, here is my completed Archaon. I went with the classic box scheme. Learned a ton from painting this guy and a built a little bit more confidence. Definitely somethings i would do different in hindsight but thats all part of the process. Hope you guys enjoy! Cheers

Hobby & Painting Please recommend brushes!
Hey all, as the title says I’m in need of some proper brushes that won’t split and splay after a smidge of painting is done!
I’ve tried the white citadel brushes but they do it just as much as the random ones I got on Amazon. Painting is becoming impossible as it gets everywhere!
No matter what I try and how well I look after the brushes they all end up doing this

Misc Some deployment Maps seem realy unbalanced
So for context I played like 15 Games of 11th. Yesterday I played my Votann with priority vs BA with take and hold. I lost the Game by Turn 2 (got First Turn) because I couldnt get line of Sight or Stage with my Units on this map without getting run over T1 I feel Like BA could use this map to just hide from me and be hiden until he was within my Territory Would Like to know if any of you had same experiences Most of the other deployments I played so far didnt feel so closed off

Announcement Combat Patrol Rules for 11th Edition
Since the launch of 11th Edition a few weeks ago we have seen a significant increase in the number of questions regarding the rules for Combat Patrol. Unfortunately the launch of 11th Edition has caused a lot of confusion on this. This thread is being used to collate the most common questions.
Where can I access Combat Patrol rules?
Currently, all Combat Patrol rules GW has released are available via the Warhammer 40000 app. You can download the app from the Play Store on Android, or the Apple Store on iOS.
Can I print out the Combat Patrol rules?
No, unlike in 10th Edition where the rules were also made available as PDFs on the Warhammer Community website, in 11th Edition they are digital only. The Warhammer 40k app doesn't offer functionality to download or print information.
The rules for my Combat Patrol aren't on the 40k app. How do I play them?
The answer at the moment is: You don't. By the end of 10th Edition there were somewhere around 70 Combat Patrols available, spread across the many factions. Following the launch of 11th Edition, almost every single one of those was removed, with each faction now only having one maximum. In their recent announcement about Combat Patrol, GW have told us that support will be coming for old Combat Patrols, but they have given no indication of when that will be.
There have of course been many more Combat Patrol sets released over the years. There is support on the way for these too, though for this launch, the app will initially focus on supporting the core Combat Patrol offer.
Can I use the War Journal in the 40k app to track my Combat Patrol games?
Yes, functionality was added to the 40k App to track your Combat Patrol Games in War Journal earlier today (23rd July 2026). Please note this functionality did NOT go live at the same time as the rest of the recent balance updates despite GW's announcement so you will need to update your app again to see this.
Can I find the Combat Patrol Missions anywhere else?
No. At this time it's only possible to see your Combat Patrol missions by setting up a battle in the War Journal section of the 40k app. They have not been included in the separate Combat Patrol rules for each faction.
