Hey, the Age of Darkness Legions book has gone Out Of Stock on the Forge World site - not Out Of Stock like 'we'll let you order and mail it when we get one', Out Of Stock as in 'we'll email you when the situation changes'. Anyone have any idea what's going on and when this'll change? Just as our gaming group was about to get together and order in the two Legion big red books.

They do look good. I have a few of those land speeder tempest kits laying in the bottom of a box. I've been thinking about converting them to 30k land speeders with a multi-melta turret, a grav-gun bolted and WYSIWYG the missile launchers as HKs.

Anyone have any ideas for what to do with a second set of the Calth characters? My first praetor I converted into a primus medicae in cataphractii and the chaplain became a slightly different chaplain. I've been staring at this second set for a while with no real ideas. I don't like the idea of duplicate poses so if I use them I'd have to do some conversions which I'm pretty open to.

Converting the chaplain to a libby is a pretty common thing.

I could see the chaplain converting into a pretty decent Moritat - greenstuff his cape a little more to make The Shadow - but idk if you'd want to run one.

Converting the Praetor to have a Paragon Blade is a pretty common change I've seen. It isn't too bad either for every legion except Sons of Horus and Salamanders.

Finally got my Bitter Iron shirt, thanks krushgroove. I like to think it lead to my double header victories against world eaters and salamanders with my first attempt at an Ironfire list. Like goddamn those counters add up after the first turn and its a serious game changer, plus getting ordo reductor medusas in there

I probably should've been more specific about what I already had built. * Praetor in artificer armor * Praetor in tartaros * Primus medicae in cataphractii converted out of the Calth praetor * Chaplain made out of the Calth chaplain * Librarian made out of the Dark Vengeance guy * Moritat made out of Cypher This is why I'm not sure what to do with this second set of Calth characters. What else could they work as? In case it's not obvious, I like having HQ options. Anyways, this just popped up on FW's site:  https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/FW-Space-Wolves-Transfer-Sheet There's also a 20-man tactical squad bundle for each legion with 10 heads, 5 torsos, and 20 MkIV shoulder pads if that's anyone's thing. The Space Wolves one is cheaper than the others because they don't have custom helmets.

I'm not sure how it would look but maybe you could use the Auspex hand from a tactical squad kit and make a Siege Breaker/Master of Signal?

Is there any use in a terminator Siege Breaker? A dude with a chainfist/combi-melta and Tank Hunter sounds like a good idea, but he wouldn't really be buffing a unit like he should be.

It's some GW FAQ that prevents you from doing it. Unless the rules for the scout armour somehow get around it.

The only FAQ stuff I see about ICs and Infiltrate are for when the IC doesn't have it and the unit you're trying to join it to does; joining a Vigilator with scout armour to a unit should give the unit Infiltrate.

Took a bit of a gamble today. I had the big man - Vulkan -  However this was a pre-airbrush model and while I thought it was alright tabletop painted I wasn't fully happy with it. So I decided to strip him, and re-paint him with pre-shading and inks. Thanks to Zark the Damned for the Dettol tip... I was slightly making GBS threads myself when I took it out and scrubbed it and sprayed it... But the finished result with the pre-shading is great!!!    I also took an hold rhino I got at a bring and buy for £2 which was broken, and sawed it in half to make some terrain - also pre-shaded it, and I'll make one a Word Bearers one, and one a Night Lords one, so I can get in some freehanding practice on a model which doesn't matter.     All hail the airbrush! Big V gonna get a snazzy paintjob.

Its a shame he isn't here in Aus otherwise I would have organised a time to vs his mans and take some sick pics. I am taking a break from painting 30k at the moment to do up a couple of quick AOS armies as my local is starting that off recently since the generals handbook has dropped, but as soon as my next communist order arrives I will be bulking out my Night Lords and Dark Mechanicum/Scorias boys. Played a couple of games with a Night Lords Drop Assault Vanguard ROW and its actually a lot of fun and places huge pressure really early. The NLs first turn cover save + the Drop Vanguard rules really make your assault marines much more survivable. Here are a couple of pics from the last games. My Night Lords Vs a mates fantastically painted Sons of Horus, I got 2nd turn and that was a huge advantage when both of us were running drop armies, pulled a big win.    My Night Lords Vs another mates great looking Mechanicus tank heavy army, I ended up losing this by 1 point because I stuffed up a charge on a unit of thallax late in the game. Our games are always super close when I play this dude and makes the matches nail biters every time.

Conditioned to hold a near-suicidal disregard for danger and trained to exploit this to the fullest on the battlefield, the heavy infantry that form the core of the Legion's battalions are a force that has been honed in battle against the countless enemies of Mankind and, it is whispered, against their own wayward brothers. For, unlike their brother Legions, the Space Wolves were kept under the tight control of the Imperial Court and unleashed at the Emperor's command as often to chastise those who would renege on their oaths of service as to destroy those who resisted the offer of Compliance.

Did the paint job on big V - debating whether to pick out the flames on the torso or not. Base will be the next step!     Going to practice my Word Bearer painting skills on the base marines - get some runic glyphs going on one of them, while having the other be a dead Salamander. E: Yes I know he doesn't have his gun or some of his laurels/purity seals - just a personal choice, I don't really like them.

The epilogue has Omegon waking up realising that for the first time in his life he is really alone and Horus is calling him on the daemon phone so he has to pretend he's Alpharius for real now. Also earlier in the book Dorn is able to pick the real Alpharius while he's playing silly games with some look-alikes so yeah, it's him.
