I'm in the middle of a debate around the interaction of two stratagems in Boarding Actions and I was hoping that the community can weight in on it.

Player 1:

Pilum Strike Team (Space Marines)

Stratagem - Enhanced Efficiency When: During Movement Phase Target: One Adeptus Astartes unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase Effect: Until the end of this phase, each time your unit is selected to make a Normal or Advance move, it can attempt to operate one Hatchway it is within 1" of either at the start or the next end of that move. If it does, it cannot attempt to operate a Hatchway again this turn.

Player 2

Boarding Swarm (Tyranids)

Stratagem - Predatory Pounce When: Your opponent's Movement Phase, just after an opponent has opened a Hatchway. Target: One Tyranids unit from your army that is within 3" of that Hatchway and is not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. Effect: Your unit can make a Pounce move. To do so, your unit can move up to 3", but must end that move as close as possible to that Hatchway. When doing so, those models can be moved within Engagement Range of that enemy unit, but only that enemy unit

Scenario:

Player 1 starts their movement phase with Space Marine unit within 1" of Hatchway. Player 2 has unit on other side of Hatchway, around 2" away. Player 1 triggers Enhanced Efficiency with a Normal Move and opens Hatchway at start of movement for unit. Player 2 triggers Predatory Pounce as door is opened.

Does Player 1 complete their Normal move before Player 2 moves their unit or does Player 2 move their unit immediately after the door opens?

Im super proud of her and Pumped for Some more minis. Shes as Talented as she is beautiful.

Hi Brothers, so I started priming my first army and I did with black and wanted to go over this with the flesh tearer contrast. But as I am doing more research I feel it will be too dark and most people seem to prime with grey or white…what would you recommend? Should I just go for it and learn as I go? Or should I maybe use a lighter red as a base coat or do another coat of a lighter primer? I was probably going to do another coat of primer anyways…what are your thoughts? It seems there isn’t one way to go about it but I don’t want to go the wrong direction off rip!

Thank you!

Hi.

Anyone know if we will get something today?

So, I recently bought Auric Armor Gold for use with repainting dice that were originally painted white. I don't know enough about this line of paints, so... What would be a good, non-metalic, base color that would go well underneath it and not affect the gold too much? It's just the right shade of gold, but being a layer paint, I know I'll have trouble if I try to use it on its own as a base.

And any tips on use, application, and drying would be welcome.

I'm looking at revamping a table for home gaming and a thought struck me.

I've been playing since third and as a result my standard board size has always been 8x4 or 6x4

How many of you still play on 6x4s?

Dropping down to the new standard allows me to get a few more shelves for army storage in butttt I've never played on the new board sizes

Hello, I'm new, first Warhammer i will build, and i wonder if i can build 5 storm and 5 defender ?

I know for collecting i can make whatever i want but i want to know from a rule perspective.

Did these Space Marines after watching Transformers One and got inspired. Based off u/CosplayNoah designs from 3 years ago. Took some creative Liberties here and there, but I'm happy and my nephews LOVE them.

Some issues here and there on the bumblebee, but I'm happy with were it's at now.

Made sure to make his Cod Piece blue/

Never doing the studded shoulder again.

Howdy! I've been building my first warhammer minis (mandrake kill team) and I'm struggling to find an answer online as to what this symbol refers to. At first I though it was the base size, but the mandrakes come with 28mm bases. Is it the height of the miniature, or something else?

Hello, I really enjoy older dreadnought designs that did not have the helmet element (instead they did show whole sarcophagus like here - https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:SMDreadnoughtArt.jpg

Nowadays plenty of models however have the helmets and unfortunately do not provide the ability to go without them. Are there any manuals or examples of how to convert them away?

I destroyed two army painter and a citadel brush in a few days... What can I do to spare their life in the future?

So i said fuck it and went hard in the paint for my little brothers Xmas gift, granted i bought a "prewowned one" (because 250-350) is dumb, and because my lil brother paints like a god, it lived inside of a model shop case so i know its not damaged, but maybe he wants to change the color.

Got it for 130 after haggling from 185 somehow.... 250-350 on ebay. I dont even think they make him anymore

The man himself, Sigismund, greatest swordmans in the entire lore.

He is my brothers favorite and is goig to flip. Shit i just started reading about him and im gonna flip. He doesnt do much competititve so his friends and i will let him play sig all the time. Ive already found a pretty good transfers of 30-40k rules for him.

Im thinking about taking it a step further with some soecial dice. Specially solid steel ones. (Our family runs a steel company).

Since they are a fortune (looking for yellow and black or gold and black) I was wondering....

Now i dont wanna go over the top, so buying 20 metal dice is a SIGNIFICANT amount of money. I hoped to buy him just as many as he needs for siggy here. Like dice he only uses for him....

The "conversion from 30-40K" shows me this.

So does this suggest i need at least 9 dice for him? Looking at the A column? And he can keep counting re rolls right? I THINK this means he only needs 9 dice right? Or i guess he could roll one ast a time..... Silly

But i dont need to be buying him 50 of them either

As for dice.... i wanted to get him something very nice and unsually but not too ostentatious

Thinking something like this

Idea1

or something like this

Idea 2

So yea, how many dice would he need to play with friends as sigismund, and yes i know, im the best brotheer ever.... jk jk . lol

However apparently there are not many of these left originals leftt?

Im new to the game anyway. So im still learning the basics, hence why this seems like a "Duh" mpoment to some of you.

TY for the guidance everyone!

Just got a Seraptek but my chaos black primer isn’t sticking. Is there anything I can do to salvage this without restarting?

So I’ve been thinking about getting back into the hobby and have been having trouble deciding between three armies: Salamanders, Night Lords and Drukhari. I was wondering if yall could help me a bit— What’s the play style of each? Strengths? Weaknesses? Where is each sitting at competitively atm? All opinions and info would be much appreciated! Thanks!

My White Templar intercessors that I'm currently working on. These aren't finished and I've only painted one model prior to this so please bear with me if they look bad. I'm trying to give them a grimy and battleworn appearance over the nice white armor. Any feedback is welcome!

A very popular strategy for black Templar players like myself is Helbrecht, castellan, and 10 sword brethren. The cost of a land raider to transport them is rather high, so I was wondering if I could give an enhancement to the castellan and have it apply to the whole unit. Under the righteous crusaders attachment, one of the enhancements is Tannhauser‘s bones. It’s second effect allows a whole unit to gain 5+ feel no pain. Would this be legal? If so, it might be a good alternative for a budget version of the hell brick strategy. Just make them durable enough to get into combat and once they get there, they can use their buffs to mess up the enemy. that being said, I don’t know if you can use an enhancement in a unit that has an epic hero and an additional character.

Hi I’m new to 40k and am confused about how adding on additional weapons and attachments to vehicles work. I wanted to know if they cost points to add to the vehicle and if so how to tell how many more points they cost? Does replacing weapons also require more points for example 2 storm bolters for 2 transform grenade launcher. Do attachments such as shield domes require points too?

Also how do shooting decks work can only one model in the unit shoot while in the vehicle?

My main army is Dark Angels, but currently thinking of either starting either a small CSM force for boarding actions or Grey Knights in the new year as a second army.

Help me pick please!

Looking at video games and artwork, chaos marines from HH setting seem bigger than their loyal counterparts in 41st Millennium. Is this just a stylistic choice or warp influence or something else? We're first born first founding marines just better?

Hi!! A friend of mine asked me to make some war-hammer art for him, but I didn't really know anything about the lore, after some digging (specially the hand painted figurines) this is my interpretation lol. Thoughts? :)
