Looks like the Templars/Sisters are launching a Crusade right into The Eye itself

Their going to get eaten by Daemons

What do you think the shopping is like on Cadia? Do they have outdoor malls? Can you have a walkable community while also defending against demons and whatever?

Sisters of Battle with tridents and weird gladiator helms.

If we're throwing out predictions: Templars start biting it, they get overwhelmed, bailed out by the Legion of the Damned, LoD become bro allies with sobs, Malal is pleased

Fingerpainting guard armor, instead of sports they have meditation matches, daily inspections to make sure nobody is about to have a chestburster or demon fly out of their heads

Cadia is like the loyalist version of the Iron Warrior daemon homeworld. Trenches and battlements everywhere. Everyone carries a mandatory 'purity meter' and if it beeps you are executed for heresy

(Inquisition will probably end up saving it at the last minute or something but hey this should be fun)

Necrons show up lead by the Silent King. Zandrekh shows up with his own fleet and believes the king is an imposter. Cadia turns into the front lines for a Necron civil war.

Cadia is a fortress world, not a hive world. 40k planets are extremely specialized. I would expect to have the same amount of "community" as say, the Death Star.

So like, there's probably a cafeteria and a military commissary, and other than that its just wall to wall military bases and hangars and turrets.

If it's like a military base then there'll be Subways and Dominos, right?

I think you'll find Perturabo rides on the back of a prone dreadnought that is pulled by a team of heldrakes.

As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Through the madness Perturabo came with a bound:
He was dress'd all in metal, from his head to his foot,
And his armour was tarnish'd with ashes and soot;
Writhing mechandrites emerged from his back,
A daemonic weapon and leering powerpack:
His eyes how they burned! His hazard stripes: so many,
His plates' copper trim like a really bad penny;
His metallic skull was carved into a scowl,
With a huge nest of cables in place of a cowl;
A jaw full of bullets instead of his teeth,
Exhaust smoke encircled his head like a wreath.
He sprung to his dreadnought, to the drakes gave a whistle,
Away they all flew, like a hellfire missile:
But I heard him exclaim, 'fore my vision gave out -
"Iron Within! And Iron Without!"

Proletariat Beowulf: Jan 7, 2007; I wish meat screamed as I ate it.

Am I loving high, or does the Tyranid codex severely lack beast units? Infantry should barely exist in it IMO. Also, MCs definitely need a method of movement more than 6" a turn.

What units would be strong for closing up some of the holes left by GSC? I imagine Mawlocs are the ones that can sprout out of the ground and eat things, and I have one already, along with a Flyrant. Given GSC's utter lack of staying power and air power, MCs seem like the way to go. Which are decent?

Fake edit: The GW-theme Christmas stuff is baller, all.

I think both need a whole new codex instead of just a supplement. Many of their problems stem from their base rules.
