Cleon Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Is anyone else finding the promise of an upgrade sprue full of BA detail 'soon' really demotivating to build any new models without knowing what we'll get?

Paladin777 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Been feeling that to various degrees since the discontinuance at the beginning of the edition. This edition is also the first time I've ever had any desire to source 3rd party bits.

Not really but I had the foresight to buy a lot of the BA tactical and FB Death Company boxes so I've got a lot of bits to pull from. Admittedly I've been off my Space Marines for most of the past 6 months, since the last call to hobby, but having that depth in the bits box is great.

The Unseen Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Looking at the new Chaos Codex, the Raiders detachment gives me hope for the BA codex getting a non-jump pack themed but still aggressive detachment, ala 3rd War for Armageddon.

Rhavien Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) Maybe it's just common knowledge to everyone, but last weekend I've discovered just how brutal a ten man squad of jump assault intercessors together with a sanguine priest is. I played the SoS detachment and the enemy were Tau. Because I went 2nd and my opponent didn't remember the 5" vertical engagement range, I was able to get a first round charge against a unit of crisis. Boy, oh boy they were gone without breaking a sweat. It was one of those "and this isn't even my final form" moments, because I was sorting out dice for the next wave of attacks whilst my opponent informed me, that they were already gone. The squad then continued to leave a bloody trail from his left flank to the center of the board. Long story short, I've got ten JAI on my painting station Edited May 21 by Rhavien Spelling DemonGSides, Xenith and Karhedron 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/511/#findComment-6042101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, It looks like JAIs really punch above their weight. I run 10 VanVets with the Priest for a similar effect. They get +1S and a mix of Storm Shields and Inferno pistols. However JAIs definitely come out ahead in the the points-per-attack category. Now I just wish we had a Jump Lt as the ability to Fall Back and charge to make sure we always get that +2S and +1A would be sweet!

Fast and hard hitting BA infantry. 5+ fnp made them somewhat resilient, too. Guess VV with 4++ on top should be really hard to shift. Regarding 'fallback and charge' , don't forget we have our strat relentless assault. It costs a CP, but you save points on the Lt.

Jolemai Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Mine got ripped apart recently by Jain Zar and some Banshees so ymmv on that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/511/#findComment-6042149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGSides Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Yeah unfortunately they're still just Space Marines and therefore die really quickly. VanVets being a little more survivable is a legit point in their favor over JAI, tho I think there's room for both.

It costs a CP, but you save points on the Lt. That is true and since it is only likely to come into play once or twice a game at most, perhaps the Strat is better. Now if only we had a supreme commander who generated extra CPs. I love the new Dante model but I don't think his special rules stack up particularly well when compared to Azrael or Calgar.

DemonGSides Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 He's the worst chapter master by far. I'd be thrilled to even just get the Grimnar special ability on Dante. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/511/#findComment-6042262 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin777 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Base color of the trim and filigree is done... that took a while! On a related note, I intend to paint the trim Auric Armor Gold (the usual trim color for this army). I've been debating on painting the filigree the same, or gehanna gold for a little variety. Any opinions? Spoiler Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/511/#findComment-6044142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally wash with Aggrax and the highlight with Liberator Gold and Stormhost Silver. Here is how it comes out.

DemonGSides Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Yep that's pretty much my exact same recipe for my custodes. I'll eventually get around to painting Dante the same way!
