Discussion/Question Is the RepEx Still Worth It?

Upvotes

I'm getting ready to play 2k point games with FFS + LC and chose a repulsor executioner with a tech marine to hold key firing lanes and ferry a small squad of infernus to midfield while most of my other units push aggressively. After the update, I'm wondering if it's just not worth the added points investment and I should pivot to a gladiator and impulsor or something else. What are the community's thoughts?

After a decent break from the hobby I got back in the mood by kitbashing this captain + a sternguard squad for my homebrew although I plan on added a magnetised 40mm base for the sergeant so he can be a captain/lieutenant because the tyranid posenos just too cool. What you guys think?

Got these boys before the nerf but still rocking them anyway bc they came out pretty good. Fist librarians ever and both second hand (the standard primaris model had a way thicker primer on int but saved a lot of detail) painted with AK paints from the starter set, some Vallejo, Ionic and washes from citadel

I posted last night struggling on finalising a scheme, think I've finally landed on one. Lots of work left and some tidying up, also not canon but I like it and it's doable with my ability.

I suck at painting and rush with my ADHD so I'm happy with it while it is far from good.

Asking for feedback Need some suggestions getting to 2k pts against orks

6 Upvotes

Current pts 1225 without pt update

Getting absolutely demolished by orks. Like past two games 40-80 or 20-80. More details after list

Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Salamanders - Forgefather's Seekers

Vulkan He'stan (85pts): Warlord
Captain (80pts)
Judiciar (55pts)
Librarian (70pts)

5x Intercessor Squad (80pts)
5x Intercessor Squad (80pts)

6x Bladeguard Veteran Squad (160pts)
6x Eradicator Squad (180pts)
3x Eradicator Squad with Heavy Bolters (70pts)
10x Infernus Squad (170pts)
5x Vanguard Veteran Squad with Jump Packs (100pts)
Land Speeder (95pts)

Was thinking a land raider redeemer and adrax for blade guard. Drop the judiciar

Then really not sure on
Aggressors
Company of heroes
More infernus
Sternguard
Impulsor

Currently running into issues against my friends orks just out maneuvering me. He basically has Armageddon ork, added with some koptas some bikes and extra boyz + storm boyz. Basically if I try and get my brick of infernus into his 20 man boy squad. They don’t get close enough maybe 5/7 can actually shoot. Heavy bolter eradicators shoot as well but I only kill maybe 10/11. the boys survive then he brings back 6-8 boys and then charges. Bladeguard tried to screen or charge before but basically only killed a couple boys after invuln and feel no pains. I’ve had games where I’ve had oath 5 flamers, intercessors, eradicators with heavy bolters and blade guard charge all into the 20 man (Not full strength on all these) and only killed 10 boyz. He was running green tide which I know is now 3cp so can’t run until 2k now but so far every game has felt very rough for the salamanders.

Should I prioritize transports to get my infernus and blade guard in safe? Or do I just need more fire power to make sure the brick dies? Also I focus so much into the brick they don’t die then my back line is left for the taking from koptas or storm boys.

Discussion/Question Firestorm v Forgefather

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Went against another strong Salamanders player, both went recon. Here’s was Firestorm. I was Forgefather. Both of us had the Librarian detachment too.
I went first. Scouts secured central objective, small Infernus in Impulsor rushed forward to draw him out. He had to engage, and ended up losing his land raider and aggressors under devastating firepower from two landraiders. Helped that I rolled hot, he didn’t. But we both agreed my list was the stronger regardless of dice rolls. Here it is below if interested. Intercessors screened out my home, while the assault intercessors helped to screen my Sternguard from his deep striking Infernus.

I created a kitbash using a rigged Terminator model I had, combined with some models I got from Cults (since they were 3D-printable models, I optimized and textured them)

The base rigged 3D model of the Terminator was created by EvacTouch

[P.S.: Most of the 3D models I downloaded from Cults and used for this 3D model are from this one: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/salamander-terminator ]

Far left is the first one I did and most recent one last, switching to a chaos black primer made a big difference and the streaking is gone thank goodness. I think my green edge highlights might still be abit too conservative/dull and im still not super impressed with my eyes but def getting better, next one im going to try print out a paper stencil and maybe do the salamander logo if it works well (or if anyone else has better ideas lmk).
