What are you going to use for the missile racks?

I'm not going to do Tyrants yet I don't think. Just regular terminators. If I was doing Tyrants I'd buy two of those tiny missile launchers you're supposed to throw on the top of the torso, except I'd use two and mount them side-by-side. I'm not sure what company makes them.

The difference between gods and daemons largely depends upon where one is standing at the time.

Something like that. All I know is that after waiting for a while and sort of losing patience, I emailed them. They said the did have plans to make them, but nothing specific on the timeline. That was July 24, 2013.

I guess they could still be on the timeline...?

When I asked a Forgeworld store clerk at Warhammer World about why they didn't have an Ultramarines Contemptor Dreadnought yet, they said they were probably just saving the best for last :agesilaus:

It is the foldio 360, I like it quite a bit The biggest issue I have right now is the export options, which are nil if using the app. You can basically get a zip with: each of the pictures (no control on quality), a gif so horrifically compressed that it's laughable, and a video file that's only one step better than the gif in quality.

And that SoH looks awesome. Makes me think that I\m a little too conservative on the colors for my dudes and could probably stand to put a few more non-red details on them.

That's a great red, and I love the ivory and gold contrast. What's your recipe?

So what's the deal with the Blackshields? Any other legion w/ the Pride of the Legion RoW seems like a better deal than Marauder squads.

Black Shields are pretty strong. Marauders are up there with veterans in terms of how good they are for their points. Not being able to take allies or a ROW is a bummer, but that only applies to the primary detachment making them pretty good allies. Besides that no drop pods, but you can still take a dreadclaw. The only looser here is the Leviathan.

Here's an example of one combo: +1T, +1S, Chainaxes, Pariah Bolters, Pariah Armour, Rad Nades. Suddenly your basic dudes can rapid fire before assault, re-roll charge distances, are T5, S6, have 3 attacks each, and reduce enemy toughness down to 3.

Calm Down
I've got a unit of Scyllax Guardian-automata, and while they have a lot of weapons options in the book, not a whole lot comes with the kit (only the bolters and lots of arms)

Am i entirely wrong for wanting to outfit them entirely for CC purposes, with maybe one of them kitted out with a rad-cleanser, is this an entirely wrong idea? just have them hover around my Magos primus or whichever HQ i'll be rocking.

I got to bust out my bits box and go to town making a cool squad of blinged out Tactical Veterans for my Ultras:

I'm a couple of days late to this party, but you are seriously some sort of Ultramarines factory at this point. I think we all probably wish we had that sort of dedication. Those vets turned out great and the mix of heads and weapons really makes them stand out a bit.

I'm really looking forward to when I can get around to a couple of vet squads. Sniper vets with suspensored acid heavy bolters? :getin: I have so many plastic DA bits I can use to customize them too. They'll be in MkII though. That just feels appropriate.

I followed the advice of our true emperor, duncan rhodes, and basecoated the mini with mechanicus standard grey, and then painted on kabalite green, and then highlighted with dawnstone.

WIP of my lightning, instead of the IW scheme I decided to go with the Razgriz colors from Ace Combat 5, since its one of my favorite games, probably sticking their squadron decal on the tail.

I want a xiphon real bad. It's an awesome model, its rules are solid, and as a bonus its little fluff blurb even says the Dark Angels (and Ultramarines) used a bunch of them. Works for me.

They're covered in trim and chaos crap. If you're ok with that, go for it, but cleaning them up would be a hassle.

Welp. :shepspends:

In other news, I seem to have accidentally gotten some interest in 30k going at my FLGS. Some other dude put up a sign-up sheet for an escalation league and there's at least 4 or 5 people interested so far. All I did was paint my dudes and show off some finished models and then this happened. Works for me.

Nope, they're supposed to be in the constantly pushed back Prospero book along with Thousand Sons, Wolves and Sisters of Silence. Allegedly.

EDIT: The cover has a boxout saying the rules for 30k custodes are in there. Looks like 30k just got its first WD supplement.

The upside is that the Custodes (and Sisters?) are probably going to be the cheap half in the secondary market.

Then again that's what I thought about the genestealer cult in DO, and they are still pricy.

The Custodes look monopose to me, so maybe this is going to be more of a one-box-per-person deal than Calth was. Especially if there are special character sculpts rather than generic character models
