Your dudeman is pretty nice. However, I would suggest either pointing the head down the bolter line a bit more (if possible) or maybe looking the opposite way (ala robocop fame). Alternatively, point the gun at the crushed marine head while looking the opposite way, as if to search for another victim amid field.

Make the head rotate and breathe fire. Install a sound chip that plays a robotic 'HA HA HA'. Add pyro so that it makes dense black smoke forever.

I don't know own I've been eyeballing the bolter line with great diligence and maybe the photo makes it look wrong. It looks good to me :/ It look like he's lining up someone else to shoot in the face while this poor loyal bastard haplessly paws at him (he's missing a finger which is why I was like gently caress it I'm making a crushed marine base).

When my Thunderhawk uses its turbo laser I set off pyro and the gun actually shoots out a molten ball of lead that melts both flesh and resin.

Point the gun down so he's about to do that struggling Marine execution style.

So, 30k hams. What are you working on?

Finishing up my fist/PB Praetor, then touching up and varnishing the power sword Vet squad that he's gonna run with. After that, finish up my last 5 suicide squad combi plasma Vets and I'm done apart from varnishing Perty and taking pics for my toxx. It all shakes out to a little more than 3000 points.

 forgive the potato quality. Super messy and not helped by having to soak them in superclean because the first spray paint I used went on super thick but I'm okay with how things turned out. Might re-do the chest insignia though and feel like the standard needs something if I'm not going with the wings.

Then it's just a matter of leaving them somewhere public so I can break out washes and metals for 20 minutes when I find spare time. They're actually coming together surprisingly quickly now!

Were you playing 40k v 30k compatibility mode? Boy do I wish I had something soft to shoot with my Kakophani... Sounds like your dirty boys could use some noisy boy support. Kay Jays in Footscray have tables upstairs I think, but I never play in stores because it's just my Fists playing mate and I usually (plus there are smelly loving hams everywhere).

It was mentioned in the 40k threat, but I'm curious what kinds of new alternate legions and units we could see in the future as FW advances the timeline. They've certainly alluded to doing so. I'm wondering if they might be introduced with completely different legion rules. Say, Emperor's Children stay as they are right now, but then there's a post-Istvaan EC featuring Daemon Prince Fulgrim and the full-on CSM style thing they've got going in the later Horus Heresy novels. Or adding Raptors to the Raven Guard, Daemon Prince Angron, etc.

To what extent did the daemon princes participate in the HH proper though? I thought it was only Fulgrim that ascended during it, but he was all gently caress you got mine and just went away leaving the rest of the EC doing random fun stuff.

Angron also went daemon prince during the Heresy. It's in Betrayer, one of the best HH novels - it's strongly implied that Lorgar deliberately orchestrated Angron's fall to Chaos and rise as a daemon prince specifically so they'd have someone besides Horus who could face down Sanguinius at Terra and have a shot at winning.

Yeah, but did he participate in the war any more after that? I haven't read anything with Angron in it after Betrayer, and he gets locked away at the end of that.

The HH series has been allergic to starting the Siege of Terra, so the plot's stalled at the moment. We did get Rogal Dorn no-poo poo-for-real killing Alpharius, though.

I need to read some more of the books. I read the drop site ones, Legion and Fulgrim. I started Descent of Angels (for some insane reason) and haven't been back. I might grab Betrayer if you think it's a cool read. Is there anything else I should grab? I don't want to read about Alpharius getting dead bc he's my second favourite after Fulgrim.

I might grab Betrayer if you think it's a cool read. Is there anything else I should grab? The First Heretic, Know No Fear, Betrayer is an excellent trilogy by Dan Abnett and ADB that flow smoothly together, focusing on the Word Bearers, World Eaters, and Ultramarines. Covers the fall of Lorgar and Angron to Chaos, the first possessed marines, the Word Bearers' attack on Calth, Angron's rise as a daemon prince, and does a wonderful job of humanizing the Ultramarines and Guilliman by giving them believable strengths and flaws. Prominent characters besides the primarchs include Kharn, Erebus, and the only possessed marine you might genuinely feel sorry for. A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns are two companion novels about the Thousand Sons and the Space Wolves, respectively, that conclude with the assault on Prospero and remain the main books to date to focus on those two legions. Thousand Sons focuses on Ahriman and Magnus, Prospero Burns is a 40k adaptation of The Thirteenth Warrior and is about the Wolves and Leman Russ from the perspective of an outsider. Mechanicum is an interesting one that has virtually no power armor action and focuses purely on events on Mars. If you want an interesting story about Mars and the Mechanicus at the outbreak of the Heresy with a guest appearance by the C'Tan, this one's for you. Legion is somewhat hit or miss. It's the Alpha Legion book but doesn't actually tell you much about the Alphas - it's told mainly from the perspective of ordinary humans caught up in the Alpha Legion's machinations. Also introduces John Grammaticus and makes the best use of him compared to his later appearances - he reappears in the First Heretic trilogy along with Olanius Pius. Angel Exterminatus is derided by some, but I personally enjoyed it. It's the Iron Warriors book and also includes the Emperor's Children quite heavily, including Fulgrim's ascent to daemon prince.

Nice thanks man. I loving love Legion. The alphas being shadowy dudes while you follow Hurt Bronzi around was really cool. I'm going to take all your recommendations and maybe give Angel Exterminatus a go because I'm an EC fan.

They've certainly alluded to doing so. When asked about the power levels of Inferno the design team answered that this reflected two legions at their pinnacle of power. I've been thinking about this myself, but I honestly don't have any educated ideas on how they'll handle legion transmogrification like the death guard. One thing is for sure though. They are dead set of making all the cool poo poo from the background happen, so I have no doubt we'll see it eventually. Right now I get the feeling it's all hands aboard making the 7.5 book happen before the book hard angle book.

It does a good job of showing why the early Heresy was so confusing, and that not every Legion is not some colossal hive mind. Bonus points for the best version of Mortarian ever written. Poor guy.
