Or maybe he's not actually getting dressed, it's just him and his servo-squires having an armour-blessing party or something...

Not as yet, although I've not looked closely for months. It's such a big lump of a model I think there is enough solid resin to hold it together. God knows how big the cavity inside is though. I think of it as the worlds most expensive, and unpalatable, Creme Egg.

My friend is the only person I know who bought anything from Forge world, got a Heirodule for his birthday back when they came out, I was jealous and always wondered why he never painted it. Now I see.

My only contact I've had with FW stuff is the techpriest I ebayed for a Dark Heresy campaign, the little bastard was annoying as hell to paint I remember that much.

Always sorta planned to grab a primarch and maybe a retinue if I... y'know won the lottery or something, I'm seriously not going to pay that kind of money for an untreated model though.

"If there are no models in the target unit that are in range, all remaining Wounds in the pool are lost."

Thanks for your input. My error was upstream, I had not caught the wound pool order of events and as such "range of the model" appeared vague when dealing with a model with two weapons. But I see my error. Thanks.

On less depressing news, I finally finished my first squad of World Eaters Berserkers!

The original five models:


The full squad, now with Rhino:


Some details on the Rhino, which needs a *tiny* bit of shading on the trophy racks, but is otherwise done. Forgeworld doors feel almost like cheating.



Finally there's this rat bastard, who isn't part of a Khorne Daemonkin army but gently caress if I wasn't going to paint him and add him anyways. Maybe I'll just run that poo poo unbound.
Either way, he's ready to rage across the battlefield and into your heart.



Now I need to get the other squad of Berserkers done and I can start on some of the bigger models.

Those look great! Keep 'em coming.

I took some time off from Warhams to try different Mantic games (Kings of War, Deadzone). I just checked back in and I'm a little saddened that yet another SM codex is coming out and still not an ounce of credible data that says my beloved Sisters of Battle are going to get any kind of attention anywhere in the near future.

That might just pull me back to 40k if it were to ever happen.

Don't fail to see Nyarlathotep if he comes to Providence. He is horrible — horrible beyond anything you can imagine — but wonderful. He haunts one for hours afterward. I am still shuddering at what he showed.

drgnvale posted:

My count:

3 servo-skulls
2 skulls on the banners
1 giant skull in the background
1 on the sword hilt
1 being held up by the guy in the top right
1 on the chaplain's helmet
1 on the chaplain's staff

So 10 total, not counting the logo. Though you could probably see at least a dozen more if the image was in higher detail.

Man, who can possibly hate Kharn? Dude's basically 40k incarnate. :allears: It's too bad he's not in demonkin for whatever reason, but I guess chaos marines had to be left something.

Those forge world upgraded berserkers look fantastic. They really are miles ahead of the old plastics.

so, the chaos marine codex is (according to the internet) not so great. would making an Iron Warriors army using the loyalist marine codex be a weird thing to do? seems like it might fit their fluff since they don't really rely on chaos like the other chapters do.

You can do it. I think it's totally lame, but there's enough going on with the marine codex to make it work. You can sub Obliterators for the equally ugly Centurions, Techmarines for Warsmiths, and just not take Maulerfiends or Heldrakes.

That said, the Chaos IA supplement is pretty loving rad and gives Chaos some rad flyers, plus contemptor dreads, which can really even things up, though you are still missing the cannons.

Thanks! I'm not wild about jumping in immediately to paint another squad + rhino, so I may do some Terminators or a Dreadnought first. While 1 HQ + 2 Squads is the minimum to play, it's definitely not what you actually need and I rarely play games anyways so whatever.

I play Death Guard CSM, and usually just run two squads of plague marines decked out with plasma in rhinos, a heldrake, two squads of spawn, and mix in some cultists, sorcerers, helbrutes, obliterators, or Typhus depending on what combination of stuff I'm going for. In the casual environment in which I play, usually do pretty well. The chaos spawn are my favorite unit, they just zip around and chew up units/vehicles, and by the time they start to lose steam the heldrake can come in and hopefully burninate whatever is bothering them. Once I finish some of my other armies, I'm gonna add some maulerfiends for even more 12" move+charge shennanigans. They've definitely been the most fun army I've played these last two editions, and with the new IA book they've gotten a few new toys as well, though I haven't gotten to them yet.

In short, if you're just playing casual games with friends and maybe an FLGS event every now and then, the regular chaos space marine codex is just fine, have at it.
