The consensus seems to get that they are pretty terrifying right now, possibly one of the stronger armies.

Running tons of guants and genestealers is apparently one of the better builds. The monstrous creatures don't look bad either.

Just picked up Fabius Bile and Abaddon at my flgs for $20 together :dance: anyone have any experience with them in 8th?

Also thanks for another fantastic badcast. Definitely my most looked forward to podcast now.

Abaddon wrecks nearly anything he fights hitting on rerollable 2's and is hard is hard to put down. I don't know about Bile.

Maybe I'll paint up the old school one and sell it locally, because now I really want that one.

Edit: oh it's wargame exclusive. They make some really cool, and really dumb models. I love their inquisition vehicles, not such a big fan of all their naked stuff though. :confuoot:

Well, yeah. The second he falls Cato Sicarius is going to come bursting out of the warp asking for his spot, and that's a fate worse than being put on the bench by Gulliman.

Oh nice I used to use that model as my old Inquisitor lord for my Witch Hunters army. He makes a nice Primaris Pysker too, might have to throw him into my guard detachment for some psyker fun. Here he is next to my newest admecy buddy, man I need to learn how to take better pics.

I'm planning to do a little choir of similarly orange sanctioned psykers to go with him, and yeah so do I on the pictures front.

From the Chapter Challenge thread:

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:



The Regal Skulls were the result of an experiment Belisarius Cawl conducted near the end of the development of the Primaris marines. The intent was to create a legion of pariahs; anti-psykers like those of the Sisters of Silence or the Culexis Assassin Temple capable of blocking the warp. If successful the Regal Skulls would be the pinnacle of Cawl's work; the ultimate defense against psykers, Chaos, and the Immaterium itself. Unfortunately the project was not successful as Cawl was unable to capture the quintessence that defines a pariah. Even the Adeptus Mechanicus are incapable of engineering the soul. What Cawl did produce was a Chapter that was more warp resistant than other Primaris and less susceptible to the uncomfortable effects of being in close proximity to Pariahs. The Ordo Hereticus, seeing the value in such a warrior, requested a chapter and the Regal Skulls were formed. As a small, specialized Chapter Regal Skulls rarely perform independent operations or campaigns. Instead they are typically found alongside the Inquisition, providing support for other psyker-focused forces against threats that may be outside their capabilities.







I'll definitely be making more though, I like how it turned out.
