EUR isn't a bargain, but reasonably priced. There are similar star gates available from resin or MDF for about half the price, but these are usually half the size or smaller and by far less impressive. Design is well done, not too over the top but well done and fitting - not only for the grim dark. I can see this in multiple settings within Warhammer 40k, for Inq28 and Necromunda of course, and for some Pulp Settings as well. Even as this isn't a portal or gate in the way it is introduced, I can still see some missions using it like this, inspired for example by the Dark Portal from Warcraft, with waves of Chaos Daemons or Chaos Space Marines moving onto the board through this and the enemy has to try to destroy the gate (would work great with Eldar or Daemonhunters). The reference is a little obscure, but the achievement is straightforward…use any T’au unit labeled “Battlesuit” (e.g. XV8 Crisis Battlesuits) to get the killing blow on a Dreadnought, which is a Space Marine armored walker unit. Dreadnoughts do not appear in the campaign story, so you’ll need to face off against an AI opponent. Waited until my chaplain would have been created at level 6. At that level, he could heal himself and surrounding units, rendering them nearly immortal. The starting level of heroes depends on a formula which combines the number of turns and game speed, so a faster setting would have helped here as well. any mortal could possibly use flooded into the minds of those supplicants that sought to harness the crown's supernatural aura. If a unit from your army starts your Movement phase embarked within a TRANSPORT model, that unit can disembark in that phase.

If they have Leman Russ (especially Leman Russ with Bolters), that's going to hurt, but you can have enough fiends/crawlers survive to kill stuff. Reference: A derogatory term for the United Kingdom from the novel 1984. The country was essentially converted into a fixed aircraft carrier for US forces fighting in Eurasia.Sending a low armor unit (e.g. Sisters Repentia) to be killed by something like Stingwings with an Avenger already parked nearby, which would then shoot the Stingwings which are weak and only have range 1 overwatch, and get the prize. As suggested in the forums, you could weaken the Sisters first using wireweed.

Another Chaos faction that can make excellent use of a Noctilith Crown is the psychic powerhouse that is the Thousand Sons – getting to re-roll their (many) Psychic tests is a huge advantage. In addition, it’s not only failed Psychic tests, but any Psychic test – great if you’re trying for that big 2D6 Mortal Wounds result from Smite with Magnus the Red!

Lastly I want to talk about the Crown itself. A large, immobile building that's practically impossible to hide and won't survive a single round of combat. Are we sure about this?

The gate itself has a rounded plate on both side that forms the base and connects the further pillars / foundation in the next steps. The Lord Discordant is the new biomechanical beast, with a whopping 12 Wounds and a top speed to rival a Raptor. Much like the Obliterators, he benefits from his Daemon keyword to have amazing synergy with anything that will give a bonus to Daemons! For example, giving him the Mark of Khorne and then positioning him to be within 6” of both a Greater Possessed and a Bloodmaster will mean he’ll strike at Strength 12 on the charge with his impaler chainglaive. A focus on production. Research is much less important on "very fast" gamepace...I never ended up with more than about 60.

Astra Militarum - Void Shield GeneratorVoid shields are normally localised force fields reserved for protecting the monolithic Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus, but static generators can be erected to serve as an aegis for other targets of vital import. The largest Void Shield generators can even project an invisible bubble of power across a large area of the battlefield, sheltering both troops and strategically vital battlefield locations by absorbing or deflecting the energy of incoming munitions. If you go for an infantry build, you will really like the ability to buff your allies' chance of receiving a boon (note that it also affects the Lord himself). This one caught my eye from the first time I saw it on Warhammer Community. Impressive design and size. And when you build it, which goes faster than you might think (at least I was amazed how fast this one assembles), you see the sheer size of it (as it is after than you expect it). At first I thought, maybe this is missing is a staircase or flat plateau, but as mentioned above, this isn't meant as a gate or portal, this is a cult shrine to Chaos in form of a circle. By the time you get them, you can probably have researched a useful boon or three, and they might get even better with a bit of RNG.

More units. More targets would have created more “damage soaks” for my key Terminators, who were very effective at city killing.

Summoning a Maulerfiend is the least useful (you will usually have a few of them already), and a Warp Talons is in the middle. So I stay on my position : Chaos infantry is overall too expensive (except Warp talons and Tacticals). Anyone who plays Space Wolves with Hounds of Morkai or Custodes with Sisters of Silence will know how powerful a psychic debuff aura is. While a straight negative to tests is undoubtedly more reliable, a massively increased risk of Perils (from 5% to 16%!) poses a real risk to well-protected psykers - and their bodyguards too.
