SydonianDragoon404 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If the Impulsor goes from a 4+ to a 5+ invuln as was implied by the warcom article, will it still be auto take? Right now it seems like a shield dome impulsor is really expensive, I think I may consider an alternate loadout, or perhaps even taking nothing on it to keep the cost low. Additionally, I know overwatch isn't as pervasive but there are still plenty of units out there we need to be wary of, and there's always the chance we come up against the Tau. Even with the points increase, I think taking suppressors just in case is still a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Well we don’t have to worry about the Impulsor anymore. I don’t know if I said this but I’m hoping the new grav tanks can transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymnblade Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Since it's supposed to be a Predator analogue, I'm not expecting the Gladiator to have transport capacity. But if it does, awesome! 5++ Shield Domes make Impulsors less attractive, but they're still fast flying transports with an invul and the Assault Ramp rule, which makes them potentially still very good in a 9th meta that focuses heavily on board control. I think they're still very usable with the shield dome nerf, you just might actually consider the other upgrade options instead. You could take a bunch of Bellicatus missiles or Icarus stubbers, get some substantial extra shooting, and then get the 4++ back via the Aurillian Shroud ;) BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 That was an error on the article, later corrected. It's 4++ still. BLACK BLΠFLY and Hymnblade 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 What do y’all use for shoulder pads and bits like that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Upgrade kit and transfers mostly. I also have the over pauldrons from Red Dog Minis and recently purchased some Phobos and MK3 esque pads from an Etsy shop called Emperor's Fists Bits, which were really good. The embossed crosses weren't stupidly proud, like many I've seen, but we're easy to paint. BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) What do y’all use for shoulder pads and bits like that ? I've used over a 100 black templar death watch pauldrons. Due to its excessive nature I don't recommend it. Edited August 7, 2020 by Reinhard Sword Brother Adelard and BLACK BLŒ FLY 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painting.for.my.sanity Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 What do y’all use for shoulder pads and bits like that ? I use a mix of the old BT upgrade sprue, GK helmets and tilting plates, some SoB bits and some DA bits all scattered throughout my force, with liberal application of freehanding where shoulder pads don't have sculpted details.

Brother Carpenter Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I mainly use transfers and recently managed to lay my grbbly hands on 200! Metal bt pads from the past. I'm thinking on using transfers for primaris and the pads for firstborn. I also started to push mould crosses. But my learning curve there is still rather steep Edited August 7, 2020 by Brother Carpenter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hymnblade Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The Mighty Brush makes two dedicated sheets of BT transfers which are pretty awesome, along with some other non-BT-specific sheets that are still very nice (like the blocks of scripture).

9x19 Parabellum Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Does anyone else find TMB's transfers curl incessantly? I ordered some a couple weeks ago. As soon as they get here, I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I tried so many techniques last week, even the classic of offering up the backing paper to the model and sliding didn't work, as they curled onto the back of the paper! Thankfully, they're durable enough to take the abuse, and look good once on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't used transfers in so long before finding TMB that I forgot this was abnormal, but yeah, they definitely curl a lot. The best way I've found is to put the paper right up against the model with my tweezers, hold the transfer in place with a brush, and pull the paper out from under it.
