2026 Edition!Since a lot of the links were duds in last year's thread, I've decided not to post them. If anyone has suggestions for the OP moving forward, feel free to share.>What is this thread?A place to share your armies from any and all war/skirmish games.Though it's increasingly a lost art, /your dudes/ has been the lifeblood of wargaming and especially skirmish games for a while now...let's keep the dream alive!Bonus points for org charts, livery, lore, and especially any pics of models in action!>Thread QuestionsWhat are /your dudes/ bad at?When was the last time /your dudes/ touched a table?What do you plan to do with /your dudes/ in the new year?I'll begin.>The Athonian 33rd is absolutely dogshit at trench / frontline warfareThey struggle horribly with holding open ground and dealing with anti-air, relying heavily on fellow Imperial factions to buttress them in this.>My boys got their debut in a Dark Heresy game run by a friendTo my pride they managed to not only die in droves like standard guard, but have pulled off some impressive feats in the course of the campaign. They even were the relief forces when the party got caught in a Black Hawk Down type crash in the middle of Ork-infested territory.>In 2026 I'm going to begin collecting and painting a force to represent themNow that I'm back on my feet after a disastrous layoff I can actually start making me little soldiers a reality!
>>97338307Sharing the org chart, because it's fun
Contributing cause this could be a good thread.Mocked up a quick rough-and-ready Order of Battle. Nothing near your detail or quality, but I will work on it when I have the time.>What are /your dudes/ bad at?Acting as a breakthrough force, usually in support of the Krieg Siege Regiments, they're bad at static, attritional warfare.>When was the last time /your dudes/ touched a table?Late last year, I have a narrative thing going on with my mate who runs Tiamet Tyranids, so I have had them acting in support of the Karlist V Light Infantry that they eventualy fight against. I wrote a short battle rep in the form of a POV of the Karlist Officer which I found suprisingly fun to write.>What do you plan to do with /your dudes/ in the new year?Hopefully finish off collecting and painting the last of B CompanyI can't get the PDF to attach so I'm going to put the first of three pages on here
>>97339407Posting the lore summary for my dudes, gonna add some pictures when I can be arsed photoshopping them. Everything is a work in progress atm
>>97339407>>97339420This is great! I miss this sort of guardfaggery.
>>97338307A couple years ago my friends and I put together a Kill Team Campaign all based around Vraks. As the resident Alpha Legion fanboy I took the role of The Faithless, the Alpha warband involved in the conflict.Although I had to sell them during a move, they hold a really special place in my heart, in part for being what I bet will be the last time I get to use bits from the old Chaos Marines box since they're out of production.TQs:>What our /your dudes/ bad atMy guys gained a reputation for having heinous bad luck streaks, notably one where a distraction grot managed to survive an ungodly number of attacks all from the same Legionnaire. This evolved in our shared lore to the Kill Team having a 'blessing' from Tzeentch that was sort of like one of those really awful JoJo stands that just make your life suck or kill you.>When was the last time they touched a tableThat I can confirm? 2023. But I'm hopeful someone is still playing with them out there after I sold them to my LGS.>What do you plan to do with them in the new year?Miss them, mostly. But I'm hopeful that I can start hobbying again by the end of the year, in which case maybe I can kitbash up some successors.
