Totally screwing up the construction of the Trukk and gluing stuff on where it's not supposed to be is actually the most Orky, and therefore most correct way to assemble that kit.

If you were a true Ork player you'd be using a Tonka Truck instead

Memories.

Imperial Fists made their name being the primary defenders of the Emperor's Palace during the Siege of Terra. But ultimately both the Fists and the Iron Warriors were said to be masters of both offensive and defensive sieges. Hence the Iron Cage deathmatch to see who was the siegiest legion of them all.

I always heard it was that Perturabo loved building, but was always sent by the Emperor to destroy instead. So like what you said, but with added feelings of inadequacy because the Fists kept eating his lunch. I think there was also a temper tantrum over a painting, too.

Did Perturabo have any mates among the Primarchs or was he just the lovely loser brother of the bunch (along with Lorgar who was the loser churchie of the bunch)?

I remember old fluff where it was implied there was a conspiracy- IWs never get mentioned more than a footnote and Pert just took it standing instead of bitching about it. Always thought that was a neat angle, but they never really played it up. In the new 30k fluff IWs are still one of the two siege legions, but with a focus on big battles- attrition, mass theater warfare, and armored assault. The most interesting new fluff says a counter insurgency was another specialty, which I guess plays up the old fluff about why they had a bunch of garrisons everywhere.JBP posted:Did Perturabo have any mates among the Primarchs or was he just the lovely loser brother of the bunch (along with Lorgar who was the loser churchie of the bunch)? He liked the sexy librarian type, so he swooned over Magnus a lot. His other boyfriend was Angron somehow. I guess they both shared a love for rage. I always figured he'd get along with Manus but

Pert was friends with Fulgrim, until: 1) Fulgrim drags Pert into the Eye of Terror. 2) Fulgrim has perfumed followers dancing around and killing each other. The IW solders watch and have no idea what's going on. 3) Fulgrim tries to drain Pert's soul to transfigure into a daemon prince, which works but Pert doesn't die. This sort of destroys their friendship.

raverrn posted:Plasma weapons with the company banner are my new favorite 40k thing. Overheating just means you get to shoot some more! Yeah ancients look fun, a good way to make sure centurions get to do something? Every death would let you shoot a hurricane bolter or heavy weapon. With apothecaries to heal up or revive with 1 wound left to get a lot of firepower back that turn who will then die next turn only to shoot yet again. I guess it won't happen too much as you have to heal someone to full before you can revive others but oh well. I'd like to do a centurion heavy army someday, I love how they play. All the dakka on a tiny amount dudes. The models are terrible though. Maybe I'll make a chapter that suffered massive losses and make up for their low numbers by taking ALL OF THE GUNS into battle. Represented by primaris big bois covered in stabilizers lugging around borderline flash gitz guns. Like loyalist Obliterators. The Dark Indemnifiers or some poo poo.

"Hey, remember that time Perturabo dug a big ditch and told Dorn he couldn't fill it with the bodies of his own dead? And Dorn said 'gently caress you, I'll fill it so full I can walk across the bodies, kick down the door to your house and punch that smirk off your face'? And he did, except Perturabo wasn't in there and the house was a bomb?"

GreenMarine posted:Pert was friends with Fulgrim, until: Sometimes your Sexy Snake beauty regimen takes some effort. Frankly, Perturabo should be pleased Fulgrim picked him for the job. The best part of that book is that the Iron Warriors have to build an elaborate theatre before Fulgrim will tell them where their field trip is going.

berzerkmonkey posted:Thanks for the heads up. I stayed in the same Wyndham Garden as you guys last time, but they jacked the price up to over $90 per night. Found a place a few minutes down the road for $50 per night. I'd love to stay on property, but, man, $130 per night is crazy. That's pretty cheap! SRM and I are sharing a room, though, so it's only going to be $65/night each. Which is pretty fuckin' reasonable!

The Fate of Konor website is live! https://warhammer40000.com/fate-konor-galaxy-flames/ Highlights are a kinda neat narrative play mission for the first week, a fluff blurb stating that Chaos Marines do in fact have drop pods (it isn't stated whether they're Dreadclaw/Kharybdis or just regular ones though) and an incentive to give GW money in the form of scoring more points.

Don't suppose there's anywhere reliable online to buy random bits and pieces of models in the UK? I could do with a railgun so I can turn my Devilfish into a Hammerhead, but I'm having no luck on any of the few places that popped up after a cursory search.

My favorite part is when they talk about Perturabo realizing that the greatest weakness of a fortress is that it has to protect something and just replacing the interior with a big killing field

Iron Hands preview is up. Confirmed that Chapter Tactics don't apply to Vehicles (except Dreadnoughts). Their vehicles can move and shoot Heavy weapons with no penalty which is pretty cool, too.

I don't think it's at a points premium over a regular power axe, though. And I waited like a fool and the main hotel for Adpeticon is already booked; I'll have to slum it in a neighbor hotel like the C.H.U.D. I am.
