I play Solar Auxilia so I can’t really think of a legion that might match this description.

I know right, once you've tactically edged yourself to that point it's hard not to have all your units spill all over the battlefield.

I just finished up 5 MkIII marines for a tactical support squad. They're all magnetized at the wrist to let me switch out weapons however I want. I've got flamers, plasma guns, meltaguns, volkite calivers, and volkite chargers. However, only the flamers are painted so far. Painting black armor, as always, is an arduous task endless joy and I've got 15 more just like these guys. And 20 heavy support marines.

By the way, traitor DA are the canonical "sword traitors bad at winning."

Playing traitors from Loyalist Legions would make you stand out (I think few people do that) and your army is canonically bad at winning. So you can have traitor DAngels, traitor BAngels, traitor Wolves (why do people call the Vilka Fenryka so often) - the only problen is getting them Eyes of Horus to go with your dudes.

So let's say that there are two large populations of an endangered animal left in the world. The largest is in Sanctuary A, and a smaller but still viable population lives in Sanctuary B. You are in charge of Sanctuary B, and have sworn oaths to protect this endangered animal at all costs. Suddenly, you lose contact with not only Sanctuary A, but most of the known world. You can't verify if anything actually happened out there, or whether Sanctuary A is still out there. They could be perfectly fine, or you could be the Steward of the only remaining population of the species you are sworn to protect. You've tried calling, but nobody picks up the phone. You've tried sending interns to check on them, but you never hear from them again either. You even dig up an old shortwave radio but still can't get any information on Sanctuary A or the wider world outside. So, being sworn to protect this species, you have two options:
Option 1, you assume the worst has happened. If it did, you are now nurturing the only large population of this animal. If it did not, then both populations are still alive and well.
Option 2, you assume the best has happened. If it did, then you sacrifice your population to go and aid the larger population. If it didn't, you sacrifice your population, and the animal is now extinct.

The fanatics among us, who give more loyalty to the Sanctuary Preservation Corporation than to the endangered species itself may say that you go check on Sanctuary A and the head offices, and make sure that the company is doing well. Those who are legitimately loyal to the endangered species, however, will do what is necessary to preserve the species, even if it may not be in the best interests of the company running the Sanctuary. Guilliman was and is loyal to humanity first, and The Emperor second. Given the choice between loyalties, he chose the option with the greatest potential for humanity to survive.

Two common threads among many Primarchs are either a warrior culture, or fanatacism. These are the two main things that led to most falls to chaos. Magnus was fanatical about knowledge, Fulgrim about perfection, Lorgar about worship. Angron was obsessed with warrior prowess, as were many other Primarchs, even loyalists. Guilliman didn't really fit in. He was a statesman. He was the boring kid who becomes high school class president because everyone admits that, yeah, he'd probably be really good at it and nobody else really wants to. It seems to me that he wasn't necessarily beloved by all his brothers, but only a few seemed to actively dislike him. Being able to fly? That's awesome. Unparalleled sorcerer? Awesome. Clouding minds to hide your presence? Awwwweeessssoooommmmeeeee. Being really good at juggling thousands of supply lines, diplomatic envoys, and trade agreements? LAAAAMMMMMMEEEEEE.

Guilliman's sin isn't being derelict in duty, or deficient in prowess as a military Commander. It's that he was boring.

The hunter-killer missiles are magnetized as they're an option in 30k. They also need a bit of clean-up, but the dreadnought itself is ready to be primed. The right arm is magnetized and I've got a plasma cannon for this guy too. The left is glued on as he will never be without his crozius.

This is a much better thread to ask this in.

What are the rules of interaction between Simple Green and Forgeworld resin? Can I soak resin in simple green overnight, or will I wake up to a bowl of very expensive sludge? Or will I get a model that looks initially fine but reenacts that one scene from Robocop when I apply any pressure to it?

I've got some Forgeworld stuff that seems like it's got some mold-release agent that has hardened into a thin, hard-as-glass shell, and which did not respond to an overnight soak in Dawn, toothbrush scrub, and trip through an ultrasonic cleaner.
