Yeah, Venerable Dreadnought kit. You can actually buy just the accessories off eBay for a couple bucks. I bought 3 sets.

Currently playable:
Black Templars (the only army I've played heavily in 8th)
Ultramarines (I played em once this edition but loved them in 7th)
Dark Angels (started on a whim in 6th when the starter set came out)
Crimson Fists (my 5th ed army, haven't touched em since early 6th)
Valhallans (Played a ton of them in 6th, a bit in 7th, only once in 8th so far)
Iron Wariors (another 5th ed army, played a bunch of them in 6th)
Blood Axes (it's me, the guy who started Orks in 7th and actually did well with them)
30k Ultramarines (waiting on 30k to be in 8th ed)

Used to play:
Imperial Guard (a mix of Cadian/Catachan/Steel Legion, still got em all, need to repurpose their vehicles for my Valhallans)
Space Wolves (stopped in 5th when they got a good codex, I liked their weird 3rd ed pamphlet)
Dark Angels (painted in high school for 4th edition, ugly but I still got em)
Orks (Da Dezz'Urt Ratz, all speedpainted and lovely looking, sold them)
Ultramarines (babby's first army)

For shits and giggles I tried to start Nids, Tau, and Eldar in mid 5th, late 5th, and early 6th edition respectively, but the inspiration just wasn't there.

Up next after the Templars are Primaris Blood Ravens.

I want to second the dude who suggested that you speed up your play if you are on the winning side. Hell, even if I'm not mad about losing, it sucks when you're losing badly *and* your opponent is taking forever to do minute poo poo, manage things that don't matter, roll dice like an rear end in a top hat, etc.

On the flip side, if you're in a casual setting, it might be worth offering to just reset and start a new game, if you have time. 40k games still take considserable time, space, and prep work and most of the time I'd rather concede and start a new game than grind out a hopeless cause. Don't smugly ask your opponent if he or she wants to concede, though.
Want to emphasize these two points - these are exactly the two things I was about to sit and type up, so instead I'll just quote Chirurgeon for emphasis.

For content, I'm making a big dumb moose daemon to lead my forest daemons army. It's based on the mascot for Baxter Brewing Company from Maine:





He'll be leading a bunch of shooty treemen and spooky forest things. These guys will all be on a big base as a Maulerfiend (I can remove treemen as it gets wounded to track what "power tier" it's on) or I can field them separately as Obliterators.



Hope to have actual painted things soon - these daemons and some other conversions have been distracting me from the few 90%-done minis I have staring up at me pitifully.

EDIT: Oh, and all my armies...

- Tyanids
- Eldar
- Imperial Guard (Catachan)
- Grey Knights (Squats)
- Daemons (Jungle Treemen Daemons)
- Genestealer Cult
- Assorted one-off Imperial units as allies

Before that go all the way back to 3rd and toss in another version of IG and also Dark Eldar.

Imperial Guard.

That's about it really.
I've got some Blood Ravens but that's only two small Combat Squads and a Contemptor dread. Have a commander (or three) in various disassembled stages alongside three or so squads.
It's legal but its a giant hot mess of stuff.

I guess if I'm already in for $140 another 17 doesn't matter.

Still want to know which flavor of stompy boy compliments shooty Marines or Storm Troopers. Also which flavor is the biggest tryhard middle finger.

Quick question about transports:

The Inquisition Land Raider Prometheus is listed as heavy support, not a dedicated transport. Does this mean it can't start the game with embarked units the way normal transports can? I know this is probably answered in the rules, but I can't find it.

No, the rules specify "transports" not "dedicated transports" when they talk about setting up with units embarked.

The only thing Dedicated Transport means now is that they don't take up a slot for any other role and you can only buy one per other unit in your army. It has no bearing on who can ride in it anymore.

cult dilemma. 5 aberrants (3 with picks and 2 with hammers) cost the same as 12 stealers. the picks are 1S (5) and 1AP (-2) better than stealers, and do D3 damage. hammers are S10 and poo poo but hitting on 4s. abberants also have an extra wound (2). stealers get an extra attack (3), re-roll 1s to hit, and do -4AP on 6s to wound. they also have their 5++ and can advance and charge in the same turn.

i think i know the answer, but ive already got a million stealers and the abberants are cool minis. help.

I feel like the Raven Guard stratagem solves, like, every problem that the Primaris have. Namely, the lack of transports or long ranged toolboxes. That leaves their lack of anti vehicle as their only unaccounted for problem.a

I plan on address that with my special snowflake Primaris chapter with some sweet sweet Inquisitorial Vendettas.
