I like the idea of fast mover heavy support but if I was personally in charge I would have given them the wheely feet of votoms or front missions big robot suits. I think thats just a personal taste thing and plenty would disagree and say the flying is better or both are too goofy, but what else can you do? Normal assault marine running pose on the ground might look alright, instead of flying they are just jumping forward dramatically.

They're flying units with huge guns. They should have to move 3" directly away from the target unit after firing those guns.

I am never painting another inceptor. I want this to be very clear I am. Never. Painting. Another. Inceptor. That said if I were to hypothetically build and paint more in scepters I would have them sideways or upside down that seems like fun.

If you're not a sperg like me who has to paint every single detail then no they're not that bad. However if you are a sperg like me 3 models take 3 months. There's just something about the way their little bootsies are designed and the way the backpacks are designed that makes them an absolute nightmare to paint. They're only maybe 15% bigger than the average intercessor but there's so many nooks and crannies that it ends up being like 4 times the surface area.

Big mutations, sometimes big backpacks, lots of unique little details on each and every model. I'm more used to the simple and repetitive Space Marines. All but two of my Death Guard are unpainted from my Dark Imperium box set.

So I think this might be a really interesting core force for a Primaris:quote:Codex: Adeptus Astartes The options revolve around the warlord trait and relic. If I pick Stoic Defender then my forward teams become significantly harder to dislodge as they all count as two models for ObSec. Greyshield provides some flexibility to the 10 man Intercessor squad. For relics I can either royally gently caress over psykers with the Reliquary (particularly when combined with a Culexus), or provide more traditional support in the back with Duty's Burden. The Intercessor squad has the potential to do a lot of damage. With Bolter Drill, Rapid Fire, and the Beta Bolter Rules you're putting out 40 shots which on average translates to 37 hits when you include the Captain Aura, all to anything within a 30" range at a -1 AP for the cost of 2CP. Even without Bolter Drill it's still averaging 31 hits, so I suppose it's debatable whether Bolter Drill is worth it. The Infiltrators should be frustratingly hard to dislodge thanks to the Helix and their general toughness and wounds. Plus that 12" denial range means you have a lot of room to work with. The assassin should be well established as a nasty piece of work. Granted it's all fairly CP intensive, but adding another battalion shouldn't be difficult for the price.

Has anyone had any similar experiences, and perhaps a solution? Ahahaha, I've finally found the culprit. Turns out, about 1/2 of all my bases are ever so slightly warped  Time to see if a bit of heat and pressure can straighten those assholes out, otherwise I'm ever so slightly boned...

The poses are usually a little different from the multipose kit.

Those are some really interesting sprues. Looks like I was half-right; the troops and daemon engine are on bespoke sprues for this set—two full-sized sprues for Chaos and one full- and one half-sized sprue for the Vanguard—but the Master of Possession, Captain in Phobos Armor, and Vanguard Librarian are all on their own, ready to be sold separately.

 The first completed models for march is a pair of Death Cult Assassins that a friend sent me around last year or something. Not the most fun things to paint due to loss of detail here and there, decided not to show their backsides because their hair is just a muddled mess that I know I didn't get right. But they turned up pretty okay in the end.

OhDearGodNo posted:I'm excited, I can swap my scout troop tax... More expensive in points, but those Marksman Bolt Carbines are nice. A 5-man squad can infiltrate and immediately be within 12" with weapons that auto hit and wound on a single 6. They dont even need to be in 12", infiltrate doesnt take movement so they can just stand still and rapid fire at 24".

They're basically tactical marines, but in (without going into all the lore) really ancient armor. I'd say you could use them, since they should be the right size (Primaris are noticeably larger) and have bolters like a stock tactical would.
