So I've been having a weird problem with my Dark Imperium Poxwalkers, of which I have 3 sets of 20 - I could not attach the arms correctly to 2 out of 6 of a specific model's body. Not a big deal, contact GW about a miscast, they send replacements. The first replacement fits correctly, but they only sent one. Contact them again, and they send another replacement, which for some reason does not assemble correctly.

I dry fitted the arms from a correct model onto an incorrect - the issue is in the body, which made me examine them in comparison a bit more closely. I took a picture and sent it with explanation to GW.

Am I missing something or going crazy? I have 5 correct bodies, but 3 incorrect, all incorrect in the same subtle way. The arms appear to be identical. I'm sure GW will help me out, but this particular defect just struck me as a bit bizarre. Anyone else see this in their DI?

Holy poo poo I thought I was losing my mind with those things. I spent like half an hour trying to get those arms to fit before finally realizing what the problem was and clipping that little flap off. On the plus side the arms do fit completely fine once the clipping is done.

I've been posting in the GW threads on SA for a long time. I post less nowadays because this iteration of the thread is punctuated almost daily by insipid whining about things of no consequence and even less merit. Tantrums thrown like piss in the wind, these ill-conceived excoriations come with the regularity of a cuckoo clock. Popping out on the hour, but in place of the eponymous bird is a sticky dildo springing into the eye of the unfortunate reader.

If you don't like my posts then by all means, continue sending me PMs pointing out my errors. At least while you're doing that you aren't posting in here. I'll consider it a noble sacrifice on my part. An act of loveliness for the sake of the greater good.
In the meantime, to address the criticism that I haven't been contributing sufficiently of late, here's some fluff I've just written for those of us excited by the upcoming Chaos Marines codex.

Slaaneshi champions are oft known to go into battle with the hallowed relic that is a cumpkin. To make a cumpkin you must first carve a jack-o'-lantern and then have between six and eighteen cultists perform an onanistic ritual into said jack-o'-lantern. Upon the last of them achieving completion the champion then steps forward to lift the now brimming cumpkin high to present it to his warband, before placing it over his head to be worn into battle as his sticky aegis.

Nurgle is an advocate, and indeed inventor, of the act of munging. What is munging you ask? Well now, after you've had a hard day at the front sometimes you and your buddies want to let off a little steam. So, first go with three or four of your pals to find a corpse. Find the freshest grave, or mulchiest unburied corpse of a woman. Have a good old go on her. Afterwards, one of your band, puts their mouth over the vagina. Everyone else takes it in turn to jump on the corpse's stomach, queefing all the cum and maggots and ichor into that person's mouth. They swallow it. Refreshing!

Can you make up some fluff for Khorne and Tzeentch too? I feel like you are neglecting Chaos just like GW with this so called codex.

I just feel that this thread needs some alternative opinions outside the mainstream of slowly fellating Roboute Guilliman because compared to other 40k forums out there the SA 40k thread is hilariously biased towards the Imperial factions

This is the only 40k group I post in on the internet.

Roboute Guilliman is lame, boring, and completely uninteresting as a charcter. I don't give half a poo poo about space marines and find literally any Imperium army OTHER than marines to be cooler and better than space marines. Tyranids, Orks, & Necrons are the best.

Also, my dislike for Guillimon is enhanced by the fact that in game is he severely undercosted and overpowered.

That makes me feel a bit better, because it was oddly frustrating for a moment. Not a hard fix, to your point, but just strange overall.

Today I played Tau. A Squad of Breachers backed up by a Cadre Fireblade wiped out an entire squad of Chaos Terminators in one round of shooting, at a range of roughly 2". Big brass ones on those boys. The same game, a squad of Pathfinders that had been reduced to just Rail Rifles blew a Chaos Lord's fuckin' head off in Overwatch with two hits, both of which came up 6 to wound and did 4 + 2 mortal wounds. Finally, the remaining squad of Chaos Terminators charged into the Breacher Squad, which proceeded to not give a gently caress, hit a Photon Grenade on the way in and force every single attack (most with Chainfists) to miss, and then actually kill a goddamn Chaos Terminator in close combat. Terminator body count: 6, Losses: 0.

Then an exploding Vindicator killed my Ghostkeel, and the sheer loving number of Drones I was using meant my opponent had like 20 kill points for the scenario this week and I lost. :v:

Is there anything restricting retailers from selling 40k on Amazon? There's a huge dearth of 40k products there. I know it wasn't all that long ago that online sales were banned in Canada and the US, but you can buy online from other stores easy enough now.

Yeah, they make better money without giving Amazon a cut, and GW doesn't want to put Amazon into competition against their retail partners.

On the note of Ultras : They bore me senseless. If I didn't like the Primaris models so much, I wouldn't even look at SMs at all, but I kinda want a low unit count army and my slowly building Ork horde is not that.

I'm working on an all 2nd/3rd ed era metal Imperial Guard army. It's mostly a mix of Cadians and Catachans and it's going to be heavy as gently caress to carry around. I'm weird in that I'm partial to and actually enjoy working with metal. I've been slowly picking stuff up when I can get it cheaply on ebay. This is all wip stuff as I'm only good at starting things and never actually finishing.

Played another game of 8th last night. Forgot storm bolters are Rapid Fire 2 like a fool.

Also I'm still convinced by the strength of the IF tactic. The other dude had Raven Guard and it mattered for maybe turn 1 but was basically not that big of a deal, whereas ignoring cover saves was clutch for me.

Posting gross fetish porn fanfic in the 40k thread I think we can all agree is going a bit off topic.

The difference was that Fulgrim's Hole was magical outsider art, not a deliberately gross stab at shock value in a thread about space barbies.

There's always been this weirdly sexual undercurrent in nerd hobbies. I'd actually enjoy a serious thread about the WTF trainwreck of social / psychological factors that lead to stuff like naked torture dioramas, Fulgrim's Hole, greenstuff genitals, etc. But that's probably going back down the trap of G.TXT - how much can you really discuss awful before you're actively participating?

Guilliman was interesting for 0.3 of a second when he was all "Why did they wake me, have I not done enough to earn death?" but then he proceeded to win 100% of battles and save 100% of dudes and be just far too reasonable and infallible and uninteresting.
