Let's say I want some assault cannon tarantula turrets because I'm literal human garbage, what are some good options that don't cost me £20 a piece from FW? Preferably kitbashes and conversions, if possible.

40k Badcast update:

No Badcast next week as I'm gonna be at the beach. The week after, right before NOVA we will be releasing the next episode and we have HUGE NEWS. Make sure to listen. And get your friends to listen. And your mom. But not your dad. gently caress that guy.

The official line for the Badcast Badbois is that dads are welcome but they have to be subdivided into the Dadcast Dadbois, a legally distinct body from the Badcast Badbois.
Also if you have two dads they should both listen to the show.

This thing looks so loving sick. I'd be worried about the spike racks though.

Has there ever been a range GW has lost interest in harder than Vostroyans? I played all through 3rd, missed 4th, came back in 5th and they'd been released and forgotten about in that time.
They just released the whole range all at once and never touched em again. It's a shame since they look so good. Last official art I can think of them was the Battle Missions book in 5th.

Given the release schedule they were shooting for it's really weird to me that we haven't heard anything about upcoming codex releases. We can be pretty sure the next will be Death Guard, but aside from that... Nothing.

So they walked it back and now Chaos elites can be taken as troops for their respective legions again.

The whole idea for Inceptors is that they get dropped in from low orbit so it makes some sense they'd have something on their feet to absorb the impact of landing.

Spehss Mahreens have been using jump packs with normal power armor boots for like 10,000 years.

This is AoS, not 40k (I swear, they're pushing Nurgle to the moon this year), but this might be what we have to look forward to with those multi-legged slug creatures.

Is it normal to get kits in plain white packaging when ordering from GW? I did a sizable guard order and had every thing but my Cadian command come in white citadel boxes with barcodes on em.

I like their space cossack style a lot, but if they were plastic'd I'd love to see options for whole squads of those sweet full-face gas masks (which we'd be likely to get given how good GW usually is with spare head options). I also don't really love their lasguns. They are a little bit too old-fashioned. I'd rather see at least more conventional stocks.

Its just too much going on in one model. The snail-centipede is cool by himself, but there's like one dude on him and there's a tree on him and some metal bits dragging behind him and that dude on the pole... get rid of all that and it'd look better.

Nurgle tends to be really goofy.

The Dark Imperium book had a big meeting of Nurgle Daemons and they started singing and partying. While Ku'Gath Plaugefater was like "No more music, no more laughter, Grandfather Nurgle's business is serious business." While they ignored him and continued playing music and laughing.
