Eeeehhhh for the first twenty or so years of fluff they were slavish adherents to doctrine, except for the ones who were slavish adherents to tradition. "Coloring in the lines" seems to be a good way to define Primaris and distinguish them from the more flexible regular marines. Also it's kinda awesome that their hands are too big for most wargear.

Texmo posted: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. I'm thinking I'll either magnetize them and paint them completely separately, or paint them separately, scrape off some paint where the stand connects, and just glue there.

I think go for the magnets, because while I've painted mine, I'm using tamiya plastic glue which is completely melting and welding the plastic together; there's just such a small join and, more annoyingly, a long drying time in which the heavy model will move around from where you wanted to put it. Thanks for the idea; I will likely go and get some magnets for this if I can't get it to stay put after a couple more tries. I can't stand magnetizing regular dudes because of Droopy Arm Syndrome, but they're ideal for jetbikes and other flying stuff, and these stupid stems practically demand them.

I don't have these models so I don't know exactly but for something similar to that, I glued it upside down (because the base is far lighter) and then used poster putty to hold it in place while it dries where I want it. I do this a lot actually.

Danimo posted:welp, surprise goon warham matchup  Yeah, the boards could be a little awkward, particularly the asteroid/space station, but the effort in them was pretty apparent and while I may not play on them regularly (if they were available), they were great for one day. I really enjoyed the event despite the organizational issues. Thanks again for being a good sport about deployment in our game. It made for a really interesting game and you still came out ahead in a roundabout way. But yeah, man, if you want a game of 40k, hit me up. I don't always bring a full army when I head down, I usually bring stuff to paint (that I never seem to get around to), but I'm looking to use my Tyranids with the launch of 8th. At least while I tweak my 30k Dark Angels to be cross-compatible. I'm typically there on Friday and Saturday unless I've got anything else going on and the store's pretty friendly. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a game on the weekends or you can just bring something to build or paint and hang out at one of the tables.

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.

Tried out my Scythed Hierodule for the first time in a game last night. In truth, taking it probably lost me the game as I completely overestimated it's durability. My opponent's Spartan and Xiphon took full advantage of getting first turn, stripping 14 wounds off the Hierodule in spite of the Malanthrope and before I got to use Catalyst to protect it. The degradation meant it had to Advance to stand a chance of charging first turn... I then failed the Onslaught roll and totally forgot about the command point re-roll. Oops. It was quickly dispatched the following turn by another ridiculous amount of lascannon fire. My Hive Tyrant absorbed way more of the same incoming firepower while putting out a healthy amount of damage from it's deathspitters - it was way more effective. I also overestimated the effectiveness of a Horma/Trygon Prime drop and sent them to wipe out the worthless Cultists on the far side of the board. They did, but I had no defense against the nearby dread and that assault quickly stalled. On the upside, the Exocrine, Shrikes and Genestealers were absolutely fantastic and kept me in the game far longer than expected. The minimal unit of Shrikes were able to get off a surprise charge on the Xiphon fighter from behind a building to deny overwatch, and helped take enough wounds off it to degrade it's nasty firepower. They then piled in to help the 'stealers, who took out a Sorcerer Warlord, Terminators and a few marines despite being horribly outnumbered. If I'd used the Hierodule points on some combination of more Exocrines, Hive Tyrants or Trygons it would have been a very different result.

I don't think I'll get the FW Xenos index despite owning a lot of the models, the lousy quality makes me feel like I'd rather wait for a new version or some erratas to drop and spend my money elsewhere in the meantime. I had an 8th ed chat with my roommate who plays Tau and he was like "I'm really excited for the FW Kroot rules!  " and I didn't have the heart to break it to him.

To be fair, the dance steps article was literally "let's go into a space hulk and prove how badass we are by not even fighting. We're just going to dance." It was also an April Fool's joke in Dragon.

This Irish guy goes to his local pub for a few drinks. After downing several pints, he heads to the loo to take a huge piss. At the urinal next to him, there's a really short guy, wearing all green, with a top hat and a pipe. He takes a quick peek and sees the short guy has a huge dick. Irish guy is drunk and decides to say, "I'd do anything to have a dick that big." Short guy says, "I'm a leprechaun. I'll grant you one wish, if you suck my dick." The guy thinks about it for a minute, and being sauced, he agrees. He's kneeling down, sucking the smaller guy's dick for a few minutes, and then stops and says, "I can't believe I'm sucking a leprechaun's dick!" The short guy replies, "I can't believe that you think I'm a leprechaun!"

I heard a rumor that Primaris will be getting their own Codex. I hope that's true. And I hope they have: Faction Keywords: IMPERIUM, ADEPTUS ASTARTES, PRIMARIS, <CHAPTER> So there can be a distinctive delineation between traditional Space Marines and Primaris ...Even if it's largely ceremonial.
