According to fluff they fire multiple types of ammo, with and without casings. So ejection ports would be necessary even when caseless is the main ammo.

Bolters fire self-propelled mini-rockets that don't need casings, but they have them anyway because a rain of spent brass looks cool.

I thought autoguns were analogous to modern day automatic weaponry and covered a wide range of guns.

Autoguns are usually caseless and a little more advanced than modern guns. Stubguns=20th/21st century guns.

Too bad the Imperium does not make duds, your execution for heresy is scheduled for: immediately, pending paperwork from the Administratum office.

Tons of decent models, no one to play with and I can't push any of the extras unless I sell them for pennies on the dollar. There's a Forgeworld Eldar fighter that I painted Ulthwe which is pretty cool and will sell easily, I didn't put it up for sale because I wanted to use it and it was a gift from my brother (one of his many eBay purchases, I had to strip the paint, thick goopy purple paint).

What owns EVERYTHING? Tallarn Rough Riders. It was the best of stores, it was the worst of stores, Harbourfront Hobbies And Crafts in Grand Haven, MI. Maybe the owner got fatter and died, can't seem to find it online. Remember how I said they had all kinds of old bits?

Some WHFB dude for the Sergeant. Lances were spare bits someone else was nice enough to give me, yes those are Krak Grenades strapped to the tips.

So I've been a very bad/hypocritical person and bought these two off ebay for my IG army as Inquisitor and Commander/Commissar.



On the plus side I don't have to paint them as my younger brother who is back home over the summer really wanted to paint both of them because he thought they were kinda cool and he's a much more competent painter than me.
But we have agreed there will be some green stuffing on the Commissar at least to deal with the shirt issue. And probably swap out the gun too.
Slight pity that only the lead ones were available.

Yeah, I saw that he did. And then he posted the burlesque/saloon dancer model he bought for his inquisitor.

I get that it's sexist for GW to not include females in what should be a mixed-sex human wave army. But the people who set out to correct that in their armies by specifically including females as the centerpiece figures (Lord Commisar and Inquisitor) usually end up being creepy about it.

I saw him making a big deal about getting :stare: female guard models :stare: and that raised a red flag. But he made a big deal about wanting to avoid exploitative models, and so whatever, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and didn't say anything.

Then he showed us on the internet his purchase. And while it's not the worst that it could have been, it's still creepy. This hobby is full of creepy people and creepy poo poo, and that stuff should be called out when it appears.

In addition to finishing the 2nd tactical squad (2 bolter joes and a heavy weapon to go), I'm also working on a command squad to put in the Crusader until I can get some Terminators. The guy on the right is the company champion model, the guy on the left is an old Emperor's Champion I converted up from various bits back in the day and decided to go ahead and finish painting. I figure I can either use one of them as a Company Champion or use both as Relic-Blade wielding dudes in a Chapter Master retinue.

The dudes:


Side view:


Defending Glorious Leader:



In total, my army now looks like this:

1 Captain/Chapter Master
2 Emperor's Champions

1 Dreadnought

1 Tactical Squad (10) with Sergeant, Plasma Gun + Missile Launcher
1 Tactical Squad (7) with Sergeant (power fist), Meltagun
1 Assault Squad (5)

1 Vindicator
1 Land Raider Crusader


My goal is to finish the 2nd tac squad this week (I'm thinking a Heavy Bolter), then to move on to the command squad. After that it'll probably a be a Rhino then I have to figure out which of the following I want to do next (feel free to give suggestions):

- Bikes (7)
- Drop Pod
- Assault Marines (15)
- Tac Squad (10)
- Devastators (10)

I'm currently leaning toward the Devastators.
