Thanks to Marco Cardoso for pointing out that the Krieg miniatures included in the Octarius box set won’t give you enough operatives to be able to use the ‘Trooper Veterans Ancillary Support’ option. This option gives you an additional 4 Trooper Veterans. I completely missed that so thanks Marco! 👊 I guess we might be needing some more Death Korp after all 🤣 I’ll probably stick to my ten miniatures and use the other support options which looks awesome.

Yep, discovered that myself last night. A bit frustrating. Decided I shall sculpt some silly NPC looking proxys for the 4 Veteran option. They may or may not be flippin' the bird at you know who :)

In case anyone is coming to this video in 2024 looking for guidance: no need to kitbash your Comms Veteran. You will ALWAYS want to run him as Comms, as it amplifies the orders that this team is made better by.

I'm probably going to go for the magnetizing route for some of them if not all. When they give us such unique sculpts with so many options it's kinda sad we can't buy extra models right away without another Octarius set (and my store had a limit of 1 box per customer). Definitely a fantastic release, top notch.

Glad the video was helpful. I've not been keeping up with the new releases since we released our own Rogue Warriors skirmish game, but the prices are certainly going up and the sets are nowhere near as good as the first season and Into the Dark.

As I was building my DKOK, I actually used the Spotter/Medic body as the base for my Demolitions Guard. I figured I would then use the running trooper body with the Doctors bag as the battle medic and that freed me up to have the cool crouched sniper pose as well.

@tabletopskirmishgames

2 жыл бұрын

That’s a great combo! Got to have the sniper crouching, it’s such a brilliant model, in fact they all are in this set! 👊

You do realise that the arms with a little work and sometimes with no work can fit any body you want right? For the sniper it doesn’t have to be the kneeling guy. The leader doesn’t have to be that pose. The confidant arms fit on quite a few models.

One thing you can do for the proxy weapons is, as long as you have the spare weapon of course, put a magnet under the base of the model, and one on the weapon so they stick to the base to represent a different loadout visually.

Like it doesn't seem to line up fully on their pants, theirs a bit hanging off. Either we've done something wrong and glued too early. Or that's how their meant to be, which I doubt it. Haven't seen anyone else with this issue. We've only done one so far, gonna do them all over the weekend. I guess gotta be a bit more careful with the next few models. We glued the legs together first, then added the coat/torso.

Oh yeah it’s definitely got a fold in it. That’s so cool!

Btw. what's your opinion on magnetizing certain minis to keep flexibility up and costs (for a second box of Krieg) down? I'm currently sitting on a Tempestor Mini (Scions Fireteam, AM) that I want to magnetize right arm/left arm with different options (bolt pistol, las pistol, plasma pistol and chainsword, energy sword, energy fist). But there is really exactly no need of doing this because this $%"(== compendium gave us no reason whatsoever to pick inferior weapon options like bolt pistol and chainsword over much superior options as plasma pistol and energy weapon, not even a little bit point saving. No idea what is their reasoning behind that, it forces players to go always for the best load-out. I still try to make it work, the fine people over at GHD discords convinced me, that in narrative play, something like a cool relic bolt pistol could be implemented. Sorry, back to topic, do you think to put a magnet to interchange 4b and 4c e.g. (can't see what they are, a flamer and a nade launcher?) could be an interesting alternative option to your WYSIWYG variant of adding the flamer on the backpack?

@tabletopskirmishgames

2 жыл бұрын

I thought about trying to magnetise the pistols for the Sergeant Veteran but for me it’s a bit too fiddly and I don’t have a small enough drill. I think if you have the skills and tools then that’s a great way to go. For the heavy weapons I think that would be more difficult because they are all on different poses, but with some refinements and green stuff it might be an option for sure.

@JohnnyLeyenda

2 жыл бұрын

To be fair no one is "forcing" you to pick the best loadouts. While I understand the frustration and strange decision to make some options objectively better than others, you can still play with whatever you want, particularly if you had already built minis. I did magnetize my Tempestor and it took like 10 minutes, I'd highly recommend it in case future boxsets expand on the rules and datasheets for Scions. (I had 2 built with Plasma Guns from the previous edition, thankfully I was able to cut off the arms off of 1 of them and give him a Melta instead, so I definitely share the feeling of not wanting to get a new box for just 1 or 2 models)

I am straight up copying what you did with your team. :-) Thanks!

I wanted the demolition vet too so it was a difficult choice. I looked at putting the sniper on 10 but personally I didn't think the pose looked right (leaning forward). The arms (A77 & A49) fit easily on body 9 and with the turned head actually looks like they are looking down the scope. The kit is actually fairly flexible. Because I used the body for the hardened vet, I stuck the arms on body 8 and used the head B30 (I had to cut the pipe off and use the pipe from A13). Trooper 10 I built as a comms as the poses are similar.

I purchased a (probably recast) HQ Krieg Squad from a Russian Ebayer, super happy with that. Gives me a Comm Specialist, 2 Lasguns Troopers, a Standard Bearer for Fluff and a Commander/Leader Type. That was before KT Octarius was announced for a AM KT. Additionally I got a Krieg Commissar from them. So my KT Octarius unbox weekend is thinking about the different VG and AM Options I now have under KT Octarius with my available minis.
