***Queue mechanical cackling***

@Gunslinger I'll let you know how this goes when I play with them

Tfw fiance bought it for me but it means I have to wait until May to open it

I'm actually interested in doing a Darkmech KT

Wait why do you have to wait until May?

Birthday

It's Feb.
You're waiting 3 whole months?

That's kinda rough but hey at least you've got it technically

Yeah, I COULD make the case to open it now but having an actual gidt to open on the day will be nice

I might even forget about it and be surprised

Plus I've got plenty of hobby to keep me busy

Lol yeah I mean like I said though, at least you've got it

Finish up the 1k core of my IW, then convert up my Leviathan and Rapiers

I've got apparently 20 Secutarii Hoplites waiting for me if I can bring the store owner a bunch of Skitarii Ranger weapons and like 20 bucks

Oooh

I have at least 30 ranger weapons. He wants 40 ranger weapons

But like

These Hoplites are already painted. I've seen half of them and they were already beautifully painted, so I'm assuming he painted the others the same

But those 20 Hoplites will increase my Hoplites to 30

Which is a massive bully force lol

Orks, Tyranids, and GSC beware.

@Gunslinger I told him I'd take the deal

So next week I'll have a bunch of Hoplites for almost nothing cost wise

Veddy nice

They're nasty

9pts for 4+ invul and S6 -1AP

They'd be perfect candidates for Strogg Berzerkers

The Q4 ones literally had a lightning weapon they could shoot/melee you with

Yeah I was planning on getting one of those Termite Assault Drills (the 60 buck 3rd party 3D printed copies) and loading 10 of them up into it with an Enginseer and letting them loose

And the Secutarii Hoplites do have that

It's their spear

12inch range attack and then it's also a melee attack

It functions decently in both situations as far as I've been told

Yeah I'm looking at their datasheet

It stats out to S6 -1AP in both applications

Yeet

They're actually scary as fuck for hunting Dreadnoughts

Max squad size is 20 IIRC
So I'm gonna have a squad of 10 and a squad of 20

Yeah I plan on using them to bully characters/HVTs or being an anti-bully bully force

Problem is their spears are only D3 damage against vehicles but you could still bury characters in attacks

Dreads/kans/etc they get D3 damage each and laugh off the klaws/fists because they've got a 4+ Invul and only 1 Wound each
