Proletariat Beowulf posted:TOXICRENE COMPLETE! This looks amazing. I love how sharp and clean the colors are. It looks like a cartoon, and I mean that in the best way possible. evilmiera posted:So what is up and coming in 40K after release and the new starter pack? Any kind of timeline going on or particularly probable rumors? There will be a Primaris codex that will include among other things, rules for a Primaris Librarian, a non-Gravis Captain, Reiver Scouts, the Repulsor Tank, and a flyer that's described in the new book as "like the Deathwatch Corvus Blackstar, only bigger." We'll also get a Death Guard codex that will have rules (and releases) for Mortarion, Death Guard terminators, and a new Nurgle beast that looks like a slug with lots of legs. After that, no one knows. JesusIsTehCool posted:Does the new book have any more details? Like what color is associated with the 11th company or how the squads are organized? It says they don't have company color markings when they arrive on scene. My guess is that they'll eventually get added into companies as marines die and get replaced (the book even has a primaris captain wonder what older marines think about their days being numbered, and wondering if they're bitter about it). I'm p much done with it, so if you want it, PM me your address and I can mail it to you. It's OK. Not amazing, but it's not bad and it has its moments. It's not overly heavy on battles--which I tend to not give a poo poo about in most of the books--but the ones it does have are just primaris dudes curbstomping everyone they come across (though I haven't read the last few chapters. I assume at least one of them will die on-page at some point).

I feel like your post has, like, at least 5 parts I could quote while angrily waving around GW's "marines won't be replaced by Primaris" talk.

Even the most ardent of fanboys are willing to admit that long term Primaris marines will be phasing out the smallmarines. I'm sure our current stuff will still be valid for quite a while but the chances of seeing any new releases are vanishingly small.

Primaris Chaplain. Made from the Primaris Ancient from Dark Imperium and the Deathwatch Chaplain. Should Pad and Head both fit really well. Rozarius Arcanum also fit on pretty great. The power-pack is slightly smaller than the Primaris Packs, but because of all the extra poo poo on this on you really can't tell.

I wouldn't expect any new releases of Regular Marines simply because they already have good recent kits for their whole range already, and don't have any gaps to fill for new releases. The thing that kind of sucks about Primaris is that, by fluff, they all have the exact same armor, so you don't get the cool thing regular marines have of mix/matching different marks of armor to customize your dude, you've just got a bunch of identical clonetroopers, and they remind me a little bit of sigmarines in that regard.

I read the first parts HH and liked some of it, couldnt make it through the Alpha legion book though. Tried some other stuff and it all just felt very meh to me. Its mostly me, I have a weird strong preferance for fantasy in books but sci fi for models. Hopefully the codex will come out in July and answer all my questions regarding squad/company markings for primaris, I should be done painting them by that point.

Yeah, there's no way GW isn't aware how much we all like to customize our models with different armor. I have no doubt that as more primaris stuff is released we'll have ways to make things our own.

welp, surprise goon warham matchup  That was a good game. I should have taken a few pictures of it. I beat up on the Sisters player right after you did, before our game, and your report explains why he was so depleted already. That was my first time playing at that LGS. It was pretty fun but playing on those crazy tables wasn't as fun as looking at them. It was really easy to get put in a really bad spot, and all the structures didn't accommodate Rubric marine and tzaangor-cultists well. The space station in particular seemed awful for anything bigger than tactical marines on a 25mm bases. We should play a regular sized game of 40k some time

Yeah, it reads in the book that MK X armor is actually a family of variants, not one specific suit; Gravis, Reiver, Tacticus (the Intercessor armor) are simply the ones they've already named. We've still got that Gravis unit with the rocket pods and flame-gauntlets to be announced, too.

It doesn't seem, at this point at least, that you're gonna get kits with a mix of the equivalent to Maximus/Corvus/Aquila/Errant legs, torsos, pauldrons, helmets, and backpacks like you do in current Tactical squad boxes though. If they were, I'd think the starter set marines wouldn't be practically identical. I'll be happy to be wrong about this, but it seems like Mk. X is going to have squad-specific configurations, like how Reivers just have a few plates taken off of regular Tacticus armor.

The Bee posted:I feel like your post has, like, at least 5 parts I could quote while angrily waving around GW's "marines won't be replaced by Primaris" talk. Yeah, maybe? I mean, they aren't replacing them in the sense that you can still use your old marines just fine, and they have several advantages over the less tactically flexible big guys (they make a comment about this in the book, where one of the primaris dudes wishes his squad had tactical squad weapon loadouts for more flexibility). I was also surprised to see them sow some initial seeds of discord between the groups, with both Primaris marines being upset about being assigned to second founding chapters instead of their original chapters (all of them were recruits from those chapters before Guilliman was killed, so they remember the original legions and their homeworlds and the customs of those planets and legions), and older marines like Calgar feeling put out by the way things have changed (though I doubt Calgar is gonna rebel or anything). Between that and Cawl making primaris marines out of chaos legion geneseed, there's lots of *potential* for both older marines to splinter off as their own force and primaris marines to defect. Whether they do anything interesting what what they're building is anyone's guess, though.

This doesn't even make sense to me. Is the master of the chapter's armory standing in front of the door swatting any primaris marines that come near with a rolled up newspaper? On the tabletop is one thing, but it's not like his suit is incapable of interfacing with a flamer. If some Guardman hillbilly can figure out how to work a melta so can they.

They don't get to pick the weapons they're armed with going in.

A friend of mine is really into Custodians and these guys are pretty similar. I would go with sword and board, unless you plan to have them use their bodyguard ability a lot. Since taking hits as mortal wounds ignores the shield you may as well not have the shield.

No, I'm under the impression that militaries use the right equipment for the job. Not take a bunch of assholes with bolt rifles and throw them at a tank and go "Sorry son, none of you are cleared to use meltas, good luck" Space marines are supposed to be tactical experts and should be bringing the equipment they need. They should have an idea of what they're going to be facing.

I doubt Ultras, as the most marine marines, would ever be their own independent codex. We'll probably get the non-angel/wolf marines first for the codex treatment, and 75% of the pages will be blue.

All the while the Chaplain is constantly trying to find why the motor pool is constantly requisitioning new turrets for the companies razorbacks.

Does anyone have any advice for getting the SnapMaster™ flying stems which the Inceptors use to glue in place properly? Preferably one which doesn't involve sticking it to the jetpack first because, while that does sound a lot smarter, i've already painted and glued the bumblemen, and now it's just the Eternal Struggle of trying to get them to stay put while drying.
