Yeah that sounds about right. it WAS killed by a stormsurge, to be fair. (Which only had legs because he tried to pull an all nighter before the game to finish it, and did, and only managed to finish the legs all night. So, more effective I guess because it wasn't even close to done.)

So, the oddest thing happened. My father-in-law wants me to introduce him to 40k come Thanksgiving. We won't have a gaming table, any suggestions on the best method to do this? Perhaps any literature to suggest he read as a primer to the setting?

Uhh not my area of expertise despite loving the setting.

The Eisenhorn and Night Lords trilogies are the best novels if he's open to reading scifi books. If he's coming from a historicals grog background then the Badab War Imperial armour books might be a familiar format, obviously they're stupidly expensive though.

That's usually good enough to be able to show off the way the game plays. Hell you could use the 8th starter box for premade Nurgle v Bigly action. Half the games I play aren't on proper sized surfaces (although I just bought some board to fix this). My mate has this long skinny table on which we play our custom Valley of Death rules (free to deploy up to half way down the table, 1 x heavy support choice and no transports) and it's loving fun despite being stupid.

TheChirurgeon posted:This looks great! I always found the interior of the Vault to be one of the more daunting things to paint in the 40k range (if you aren't just drybrushing it, that is). I did vallejo black primer, vallejo air gunmetal, nuln oil over all of it really heavy for a lot of depth, and then necron compound drybrush to bring it out. Going to go back in and paint the scarabs probably last because they are not very noticable on the table, trying to get the whole outside done at this point. I have the entire center + one hull quarter finished. The other 3 hull quarters need their black layer (to cover over all the drybrush misses on the metal on the outside of the hull and make the black nice and deep and consistent), green glowy bits, the gold head, and the edge highlights still. I'll get a photo in here when I finish it for sure.

I hope there's a fluff piece about Guilliman tampering with the bigmars to make them more like Ultramarines. That way everyone will be forced to play the best Chapter.

On the one hand, I can see the iron hands disliking the process of relying on improving their flesh to augment them rather than replacing the flesh with machine. On the other, if the bigmarine program has the full support of Mars I can see the iron hands going along with it because of that.

Calgar is literally more experienced than guilliman though I bet calgar is going to get embiggened and if he does I want his head to stay the same size so it's even more out of proportion I also want his artifact power fists to stay the same size as they are now

Ones that size are hard to find. I have 3 2x4 folding tables. I just throw a mat over it and it seems to work okay. I'd rather have it just be a single table though.
