I said a little earlier elsewhere that 40k Sanguinius - and this is bearing in mind the Blood Angels are actually my fave - should just be a skeleton in armor on the ground, and only have terrain rules.

Word Bearers cultists seem more like cultists in the sense of insane religious worshipers while Alpha Legion cultists seem more like the forward operatives you'd actually see on the battlefield

Yeah, that's... not really giving me the warm fuzzies. Real frustrating if that's accurate, given that I just got done building out a bunch of Wolves.

better were-russ than hellraiser russ though now i think of it, a slaanesh-worshipping hair metal hellraiser russ, like a wolf-themed cenobyte who's in KISS, that would rule too and hearken back to the rogue trader style at the same time

I distinctly remember that at some point there was a reference to "beastmen" of some sort being in the Imperial Guard and I am truly grateful they never decided to expand on that route Like sure it'd be an easy revenue source for Games Workshop but game stores are already nearly unbearable as-is with the standard nerd and do you really want the furry nerds too

Unless you're asking pointed questions about their sexual escapades (and why the gently caress would you, goddamn) furries aren't even the most annoying thing in the last few pages this thread could come up with, let alone on the alltime leaderboard of 'what not to include in 40k'. I'll take a furry opponent over "there's no rule against tipping your model over to avoid bubble wrap units" any day.

I'll take furs over fascists any day of the week, but afaik Beastmen never attracted a significant furry playerbase to WHFB/AOS so I don't think that enraged honking was anything but sound and fury, signalling nothing.

Beastmen were teased as Imperial slaves and penal legions even more expendable than the normal Imperial Guard. They've made a small return in the Thousand Sons with the Tzaangors - Tzaangor being the name of a Beastman leader with the Mark of Tzeentch in WHF.

Beastmen were teased as Imperial slaves and penal legions even more expendable than the normal Imperial Guard. This seems a lot better of a port honestly. "Humans evolved into [dwarves, halflings, ogers, beastmen] on this planet" always felt less interesting to me than "Chaos thought it would be funny to warp them this way".

Literally the only part of Fake-rear end Heretic Leman Russ that I find even the slightest bit plausible is the DARK WOLVES key word, which is so adorably loving corny that I'd buy it being real, and now I want GW to make it happen.Strobe posted:Surprisingly many of them are good for Baneblades.

This may be a stupid question, but when a detachment says "all units must be the same faction", do all of their faction keywords have to match? My question is more specifically whether or not I can run Death Guard units and non-Death Guard CSM units in the same detachment. I'd like to use both Plague Marines as Troops and vanilla Terminators and Obliterators (who have all the same keywords but aren't legal Death Guard units) in a single detachment if it's possible.

You only need to match one Faction keyword e.g. CHAOS or IMPERIUM. So you can totally do what you want to do. You will lose the Death Guard specific rules though - in the Codex it says something like "units in a detachment which all share the DEATH GUARD keyword" so if you have non-DEATH GUARD units in there, nobody gets the special stuff.

I got the Dark Imperium box set and I'm not sure about how I want to paint the primaris marines. I could paint them as Salamanders to match what I have or I could just paint them as Ultramarines and contain them with the set. Which of these gigantic marines would I most likely field? what do?

I could paint them as Salamanders to match what I have or I could just paint them as Ultramarines and contain them with the set. Blood Angels are generally considered to be one of the more competitive options for running Primaris. The Inceptors in particular get really nasty when given access to Upon Wings of Fire- a strategem that lets you redeploy for one CP. If you want to stick with the vanilla codex either option you provided is decent. You don't get heavy weapons in your infantry squads to really maximize your value from the Salamander chapter tactic so Ultramarines would probably be a bit better.

Karl Rove posted:That doesn't negate the 'Plague Marines count as Troop choices' rule as well? No, that's just their unit type in the DG book. So you still get the Plague Marines as Troops and anything native to their entry, but not the 18" rapid fire range (iirc that's the special 'DEATH GUARD detachment' rule)
