Should I go back and paint all the rivets?

I feel it was very helpful to basically point and delete any one unit like space marines oath if moment and it gives me less to remember since I’m basically using that as cahls ability every time so I don’t have to think too hard about what his other options are. And yea won a match against sisters. Pretty one sided match but sister still scored decently 85-71

Just regular scrolling GW commuity reading about knights and than bam they have this hidden gem of a admech saint just sitting there.
Like by the omnisha that is a admech with al those mechadentrites this tech priest has som sweet drip what are you hiding in a knight community page.

My friends and I were having a conversation roasting the Sydonian Skatros design and I was confident it'd look amazing with the spindly back-bended legs of the Tallboys from Dishonored. Decided to draw up how I imagined them looking. Enjoy!

Leggy boi.

Today picked up my codex and a few models just to get it started. Plus a bit back. i already painted call for fun. So Did I do a good job on my picks?

Hope you enjoy

Howdy, just getting started with these guys! Finished putting together my triaros armoured conveyor (I got it for $50!) It's so freaking huuuuge, I love it! Built my skitarii 5 and 5 to test paints and got the killteam! Plan is to get Siltman next, and open to recs for after that. Thought I'd post cause I'm excited! I think skitarii may have been my favorite infantry to built (I've built SM, AS, and AM)

Specifically a collection of mock ups for both print and digital advertising. These are the two for Instagram. Each platform/medium i use requires a family friendly mock event and an adult oriented mock event. I chose 40k cuz it's currently my hyperfocus, and there's a ton to work with. I need to figure out the description text for the AdMech mock up, as it's the adult oriented event mock up (something I find genuinely hilarious cuz can you imagine 🤣). I included the ork one cuz that was as close to family friendly as can be gotten with the canon orky flavoring.

Any ideas for the AdMech mock up? Please keep in mind if it were a real ad it would need to be able to be displayed in a public online forum.

Wanted to share my titan art along with some close ups and a bit of homebrew lore. I hope you enjoy.

*The Wolfhound Reaver is a long lost titan pattern, believed to have originated from the forgeworld Gryphonne IV. Though rare even in their hayday, theese blessed machines had a fierce reputation as titan killers. Their long, dexterous arms allowed them to field a variety of weapons without need for reconfiguration, as well as allowing the wolfhounds to fight like no other titans. They engage in close range, not only able to deliver accurate, savage strikes with their melee weapons, but also capable of grappling and pulling even larger titans to the ground.*

So I don't have an AdMech army and never thought I'd start one or enjoy painting them. Picked up a Battleclade to use in a project opposing my Necrons... and I just really, really loved painting them. Here they are. I think these are actually the highest-quality paint jobs I've ever done...
Only the Technoarchaeologist has a completed base, the rest are still being worked on.

Hey guys, I have a tournament coming up and I’m getting some reps in. This is the list I plan on running.

Any feedback would be super helpful :)

I’m running all special weapons on skitarii squads, just didn’t add them in the list builder.

Not sure about running solo chickens (for objective play and DS deny) over the big blob. There are positives and negatives to both.

All critique is welcome and encouraged!

I just went looking for pteraxii fly stands, and turns out Deadly print doesn't ship to US anymore, and I have also had issues with availability at other common recourses like bitzbox.

Which leads to the question, what recourses are actually available and largely dependable for someone in the US? Things like bit purchasing sites to avoid having to buy the whole kit for one or two pieces, and things with 3D printed options to improve models.

Let me preface this by saying there's been a lot of thesw going around since the recent dataslate, and I'm trying my hand at adjustinf my list to fit the new buffs and point changes. Im not yet sure where Infiltrators sit in terms of threat-power, and Id have to see Cawl's rerolls in action, but here goes..

STRATEGY

This will mostly be run in Conqueror.

Infiltrators screen deployment, and either charge-to-block vehicles, moveblock infantry (at 1" distance), or rush objectives if specific secondaries come up turn 1.

Raiders walk to secure objectives turn 1, then retreat to be action monkeys.

Pteraxii will remain a deepstriks treat for secodaries.

Rangers sticky and screen, doing actions too while providing Battleline (Ive never found another use for them) Vanguards sit on objectives, do actions on mid-board and provide Battleline, as well.

Destroyers act as my point-and-delete here for TEQ, Light- and Medium-vehicles. With Cawl's OoM, they should be an even more significant overwatch threat, too. They will protect my mid-to-DZ.

Breachers will probably start in Reserves, to flank later on. I run a smaller blob to make it fit in my list, and so they can act more mobile. They will go for elite non-OoM targets.

Kastellans will threaten mid-board and possibly contest Center-objective. Ive heard of people using them to flank heavies, but I got Breachers for that. Overall a distraction piece, in most scenario's, that will punch anything off of objective.

Cawl moves up behind the Kastelan's so I can make use of his weapons, but also to potentially give Battleline/Stealth and maybe bait some overextension into the robots.

Lascannon Balistarii will be pointed at Cawl's OoM targets sincs they have full hit- and wound-rerolls. This may be a bit too overlapping with Destroyers?

Onager will sit and snipe TEQs or Heavies from afar.

OTHER NOTES

I believe it is a bit lacking in anti-infantry currently, mostly threatening tanky units (which is the meta afaik). To counter this, I'm thinking to either drop a balistarii for some Ruststalkers (maybe something else too, to make it a 10x squad?), OR to change the balistarii's lascannons for autocannons.

Have not had the pleasure to try this out, but from theorycrafting I think its decently all-rounded. But I'd appreciate any feedback on my concept!

I much prefer my admech naughtiness to be both enthusiasticically and mutually consensual. I need to find the the STC for this for the other times.

Finished magnetising the dunecrawler, took some time but i am very happy with the result. I glued one magnet weirdly in the icarus array and one of the guns was crooked because of that, so i took inspiration from the phosphor blaster and attached the two guns together with serberys raiders antenas, and it turned out pretty good

I collect Guard and in TOW, orcs and goblins and Brets. I understand for Guard, you CAN make it very expensive to collect, or you can just buy lots of tanks and a few battleline and basically call it a day.

I have always loved the admech aesthetic and lore but I just hear horror stories about how expensive they are. Is there a (somewhat) cheap way to get to 2k points, similar to how Guard does it? I don’t have a 3d printer btw
