Not a day goes by that Brother Levi doesn't get called out for replacing his Mk VI leg armor with a pair of denim slacks. Edit: I hate being at the top of the page. As penance, here is my secret shame:

Power armor is for pussies, real men (and women) go into battle with nothing but a flak vest, a lasgun, and pants they've poo poo from fear.

    Available at WH World tomorrow. Would kill for a scan of those Warlord rules. Got an apoc game at the end of the month with a friend running a Gargant who would love to know what to roughly base it off.

Oh my god, I need this guy in my life. loving yes! Fake edit: Also the last two pages have been seriously causing damage to my resolve to never do space marines again. My little heart is all a-flutter over a small project like BULBASAUR's to make some super grizzled renegade marines. BULBASAUR I am gay for you, hope you don't mind.

I used to be all about Mk VI, but once they did proper models for Mk IV, I became a massive fan. Mk IV is just awesome.

Chill la Chill posted:Matching uniforms on your space marines as if they were typical space GIs instead of space operators mixing and matching seems weird to me. I think it's about the meta implications of the army's style. You paint disciplined armies coherently, you paint disorganized mobs in a varied way. Giving them all a uniform shows that they're, well, unified, whereas orks and cultists should look like they showed in up whatever (but then secretly you also tie those together with some common themes).

So glad Forge World announced HH5 is out tomorrow, that'll be the first thing I pick up. What is the role of a Princeps in a battle? Wondering if I should get one for 30K. I'm happy to potentially pick up a model or two for folks, PM me!

Guilliman, appropriately, reminds me of Roman statuary moreso than anything Nazi-related. I think it's the style of hair in addition to the color.

A princeps is the leader of a titan's crew, so that model is really just a fluff piece or objective marker. I do like how his entire right side seems to have been really hosed up by some explosion or something. It's the price you pay for driving around in a walking doomsday weapon.

He's pretty intentionally evocative of Caesar. That being said, I like the idea of Primarch Dolph Lundgren, but I imagine that'll be Dorn.

Ugh. I'm going to pick through my 40k Ultras and see how many old marks of armour I can find. Guilliman's model looks great so far and I bet he'll bring some massive buffs to his legion.

Didn't Caesar have dark hair, though? All of the Romans I've seen in mosaics or whatever have very Mediterranean/Levantine skin tones and hair.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was regular Astartes = ~8 ft and primarchs = ~10 ft. Then again, the fluff isn't very consistent.

They're as big as they need to be for the story. Yo 30gay nerds, would this be a good starting point: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Forge__World_Bundles/LEGION_MKIII_STRIKE_FORCE.html I want more Ultramarines.

Alpharius is Astartes sized - big for an Astartes, but easily mistaken for a regular Space Marine. Magnus on the other hand is a true giant.

Magnus' appearance shifts. There is a lot of fuckery going around with the primarchs and emperors true appearance. In one of the books (I forget which), when the natives find Fulgrim as a baby, there is like a light or something obscuring his face and then his face appears and he looks like the native population that found him. There is some empathic psychic fuckery going on. I was smoking entirely too much weed when reading these books, just as a foot note. In betrayer I think it is Lorgar is talking to Magnus and Magnus' face is always shifting from a normal face with scarred eye, to a normal face with one of the eye sockets being totally smooth like the eye never existed to having one big eye in the middle like a cyclops from myth.

SRM posted:They're as big as they need to be for the story. I'm no expert as I'm just starting my 30k collection but that seems like a fine place to start. It gives some models to use as HQ and it gives 2 min squads of troops. Take this with a grain of salt as the person you really want to answer this question is Bulbasaur.
