The only rule snippet we actually have comes from the last FAQ adding a DA upgrade for Praevians, who can upgrade his robbits to re-roll wounds vs MC/FMC, or something like that.

I can't wait to see the Dark Angels get a 25 point power sword that insta-kills monstrous creatures on a 6+. Praetors only.

And that little nugget of a terrible unique rule and also the terrible relic compared to something like the Alpha legion version giving them bloody infiltrate really speaks volumes on how bad the Dark Angels rules/ROW will be.........No wonder Luther went heretic, he got a glimpse of the lack of thought/originality for 30k DAngles. I would happily eat my words though if they give DAngels multiple Wing ROWs and cheap or non hot plasma out the rear end!

Hello. I'm CasualSalmon. I have heard a lot about SA over the years but have never joined...until now.

My credentials? What are my credentials you say?!? I PERSONALLY know THREE of your members. Are they shining examples of what this thread strives to be? Sweet Fulgrim, I hope not...

I have photographic evidence of me these degenerates. Will provide nudes if you'd like.
-Hixson (more like Dick-son amirite?!?!)
-Stanyer (recently had to take out a second mortgage to supplement the lost income from smashing his wittle toys to bits when we got all angwy)
-BULBASAUR (he is ok... but that is just a Tier 1 poo poo name...)

Why did I make the plunge? Heard you had a good thread goin on for 30k and just thought I'd share my 30k Emperor's Children.

I don't know poo poo about the rules and have only played a few games. Will play more once I paint more of my army and drive down to see aforementioned fucks for beer and games.

I do however, love to paint. I'll make two follow up posts after with my progress thus far.

Ok see you all around.

Emperor's Children - Kakophoni

I really wanted to develop my own unique color scheme. I went with a muted purple, rich gold, pearly white pauldrons, dirty ragged tabbards.

the theme of my army is catching the Children right as they are slipping into chaos. I wanted the gilded opulence of the Children, but with signs of corruption starting to show.

I have created a few longer write ups on some of the colors, processes and effects that I can provide if interested. Didn't want to make too dense of a post.

Group shot. Been playing around in GIMP which was recommended to me by hixson. Trying to reduce the yellowish hue that my Samsung camera phone picks up. Pretty poo poo post-prod right now, but better than nothing.


All lined up.

Emperor's Children - Phoenix Guard.

These were a gift from hixson. They came in bits and were a super huge pain in the rear end to assemble. That being said I think they came out pretty good. Stuck with the same color scheme.

Thanks buddy!

My "problem child". Anything that could have gone wrong went wrong with this guy. There are 4 pins in his halberd alone as well as a variety of other mishaps. I am pleased that he looks the way he does after how much trouble he gave me and patches I had to make



I feel like this guys needs lore. He does NOT like being shot at.


Phoenix Guard + Kakophoni


A year in painting - I started painting a year ago when Stanyer bought me a pack of Grey Knights. A year later I think I have made some solid improvements. Hoping to keep this trend up, I have a lot of ideas rattling around in my head.


That's all for now! I have 10 tac marines with the Children's upgraded shoulders included all pinned and ready to go. For this round I will be using an airbrush for the base layers and will give zenith priming a shot. Stay tuned.

First off, welcome to the forum. Please god read the rules and don't sign your posts. Eventually you'll become a poo poo poster extraordinaire, but for now TG (traditional games) is a pretty safe place to start out. You'll want to lurk a while before you go other places. Normally I wouldn't write this, but since I know you IRL and just moved to Seattle this is my way of saying 'sup lets get beer and talk about piles of space marines fighting long hard battles sometime soon.'

Next up, check out the painting thread. Lots of good resources there along with some top notch motherfuckers who would be happy to give pointers. Feel free to cross post your stuff there, here, and the 40k thread- http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3705692&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Last, Hixson has been showing me your stuff for a while and its really good poo poo dude. I really like the pale color you went with and that white is nice and smooth. For somebody who has been painting for a year its really solid stuff. This is a stupidly expensive hobby already, but you might want to consider a better camera setup. I've seen some of your other shots and I can say for sure these aren't doing your models the justice they deserve. I have a dumb blog about my own space barbies and the difference between using a decent setup and a budget one was pretty dang significant-

Just read your Zenithal Painting tutorial actually just recently. I googled it and it's like the 3rd post down, pretty funny stuff. Have checked out your blog before. I hate the front page format but your Iron Warriors are seriously next level. Also...those treads...so sexy.

Not sure how much I am going to be participating on other threads - definitely interested in the painting thread but that's about it.

Ya man, this is sore point for me. I spend so much time on my minis and then when I take pictures of them they look like poo poo. I don't know much about post-processing and received like a 2 sentence tutorial on GIMP from hixson.

Here is an example of pre-post:



I wish I had more space to setup my light box more effectively. I wish I had a camera that would actually take a decent photo. I wish I had more experience adjusting the levels and color to represent what they look like irl.

Download gimp, click Colors->White Balance, click the white dropper, click on the part of the image that is whitest in real life (in this case I did it on the brightest part of the shoulder pad). Save.

Here's the result:



Works best if you have something pure white as a reference point. e.g. This image I did the other day isn't great due to not having my old light setup, but it still looks closer to the real thing after the white balance fix:



Left hand one is original, Right is the "fixed" image

Without combi weapons they feel really lovely in the shooting phase, but when you have one round of nasty plasma or melta shots the unit feels more threatening. I am really struggling to use termies in my Night Lords army effectively, they get drowned in bolter or plasma fire way to often, maybe an assault ram would help...............

Anyone not specificaly noted to wear a certain pattern of terminator armor on their codex entry - Iron hands Gorgon Terminators, example, wear their own unit-specific mark of armor so they're not allowed to trade it out. Vanilla legion terminators, Praetors and the like can pick freely.

I mean poo poo, they PDF'd the legion castellax in their FAQ so it's the same as the Admech red book, if anything gets changed I think they would put it out.
Also, fun fact: the ordinatus cannot be legally deployed straight on in dawn of war, it's 13.5" long.
