I've been weirdly tempted to pick up another Dark Imperium box recently and start painting some Ultramarines and looking at the pictures of your stuff I'm pretty sure it's mostly your fault. It's always a joy to see you post your models, although I'm certainly sorry to see you grow increasingly disillusioned with 8th.

So do we want to do a similar small scale, fully painted with lots of effort put in ViV or similar event for Hamslam 2018?

Saturday and Sunday These two days are largely taken up by the Team Tournament, Awards, and tear down. We began by getting our costumes on for the team tournament, checked our lists, and then headed to the check-in at the judges. I had convinced my teammates to go in on an Ultramarines themed team where we even poured wine for our opponents over the two day event. This is where the impressive displays come out of the wood work. Some of this poo poo is mind blowing in the level of effort included.   Over the 2 days we played in 5 separate matches coming out 3-2 with a 7-3 overall win/loss record, which was better than we thought we would do. The details of the games aren’t very exciting, but we got a lot of compliments on our idea, and were even selected to play on the WarhammerTV live stream, which we were loving stoked about. Our performance failed to gain us any awards despite thinking we might have a shot at the SPIRIT award, which usually goes to care-free types in costumes, but maybe they figured being selected for the live stream was an award in itself. After the Awards were given out most of the other Goons had left by that point, and I helped in the tear down to ensure early sign-up for next year, and then joined The Sex Cannon at an end of event party where we drunkenly sang for hours and I got to talk with Duncan Rhodes for a good 30-45 minutes, which frankly just capped off one of the most enjoyable weekends of my life. The next morning TheSexCannon and I had breakfast with Carl from the Independent Characters Podcast, said our goodbyes, and I hit the road. MORE PICTURES!     Sexy Primaris Marines     Helsreach models.   Our humble display.      This gangs versus Arbites display won the display award. This picture doesn’t begin to do it justice.

Most of their stuff is overpriced, and their stratagems and tactics mostly suck compared to the much more creative and powerful stuff which came in later books. Uroboros, great write-up. Makes me want to get to Adepticon sometime although I imagine that a transatlantic trip for 40k would stretch my wife's patience past breaking point.

Man they really don't want anyone playing Fallen, do they? No usable strategems and Cypher specifically gets no warlord ability. Imperial allies could be fun, but yikes.

I imagine that Fallen would be something they approach after they get all the big factions their codexes, especially since they still haven't entirely decided what they even want to do with them. As-is they're "really tame chaos marines" "blackshields that get hunted down" or "the secret good guys".

If you follow Cypher's story so far then it's pretty clear that he's a good guy, and considering that "constantly kills other marines to keep their prison of tortured Fallen secret" has been a big aspect of the dangles for about as long as they've existed they're either chaos marines in deep cover, marines that have gone so far up their asses with the Fallen that they're basically chaos marines, or Luther's traitors from when the dangles had a civil war The real question is "when will GW actually put this into action". Old GW I'd say never, but New GW seem willing to do spicy story progression.

New-Cypher and the Fallen kit are recent enough to make the Primarii "larger than us but not literally making us look like Scrunts" right?

As great as it would be from a story perspective there is a zero percent chance they’ll pull something like The Lion secretly being a traitor or whatever. Completely alienating fans who have spent hundreds of dollars on an army by fundamentally changing its very concept is almost unthinkably stupid.

The joke I'm making here is that Cypher is the Lion, an assertion I have no textual evidence for, but one that sets off Dangles players like nothing else.

Not to change the subject too much but does anyone know of any cool tournaments that are at least reasonably close to Oregon this year? All the talk about AdeptiCon and LVO has me sort of curious to try one if I don’t have to travel too far. Edit: I guess I’m looking more for a convention along with the tournament and I honestly don’t see a lot over here on the west coast Pendent fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Mar 28, 2018 |

As far as I know they've always been at least nominally chaos followers in the fluff, albeit with their own motives and agenda. I'm not aware of anything to contradict this but I'd be interested to hear if I'm wrong.

Somehow it makes the Lion seem like an incredible loser to have him betray the imperium but also receive zero material benefit for doing so, unlike the other traitor primarchs.
