adamantium|wang posted:Btw there's a one use 1CP stratagem that lets a UM successor chapter take a single UM relic and replaces all the Ultramarines keywords of the relic with your dudes. To me this says it's even more clearly intended the actual rules are to play with what you have them painted as. If you could just paint your guys as whatever and use White Scars rules instead of White Scars Successor Chapter rules, then why would you even have a function in the game for spending an extra command point to transfer some of the White Scars benefit? I think that's a weird rule but it's obviously a rule.

General Olloth posted:To me this says it's even more clearly intended the actual rules are to play with what you have them painted as. It actually makes sense regardless of painting, since you can use the main codex to make a custom chapter, then call them white scars successors to get certain benefits while having a different set of chapter tactics.

You're implying that because I picked BA so many years ago I should be stuck using jump boys just as the Salamander guy is stuck with his flamers. @Bools it's a fine army I just like to play more aggressively than marines are built to play right now.

You're implying that because I picked BA so many years ago I should be stuck using jump boys just as the Salamander guy is stuck with his flamers. Blood angels are the more aggressive army compared to codex marines. The way I see it is that in a tournament you should feel free to have your color scheme not match your army, as long as you're using the right models and you're not confusing people. Running blood angels (or dark angels, or grey knights, or space wolves) as something else teeters right on the edge. If you're just using generic units its fine, but once you start using any models specific to that codex (be they sanguinary guard, thunderwolf cav, whatever) it can get confusing. In a casual game, play your army how it's painted.

Floppychop posted:So what's my best option for adding some melee marines to my Black Templars? I go either big group (14+) of character-buffed choppy crusaders or a five man Sword Brethren detachment with storm shields and power swords. The detachment can do freaking work when you use the attached stratagems. Pretty cheap too.

A combination of browsing this thread and the new custom Chapter rules has inspired (read: shamed) me to come up with my own paint scheme for my Primaris force rather than just doing a bare bones Blood Angel's thing. Here is a shot of my painted Primaris before they are stripped:  Yes, I converted a Primaris Captain out of a Custodes and some Primaris bits.

Booley posted:In a casual game, play your army how it's painted. A casual game is the only place I would expirement with codex marine rules. I'd never do red ultras in an event. BA is absolutely more aggressive than the codex marines but it doesnt translate out of the book and to the battlefield very well. Many of the big BA tennents have been watered down in 8th. Assault Marines are not good, Death co and Sanguinary Guard can be effective but are expensive. Box-naughts are not great. The dred librarian is often a suicide mission and the Slam captain is a more effective and efficient. Mephiston is fine, sanguinary priests are fine.Overcharged engines are a joke. Overall they're not what they used to be. It's fine but I like a more reckless playstyle. Karl Rove posted:Do you have a tutorial somewhere explaining how you did your Chris Foss paint scheme there? I can make one, I've got all the necessary pics. You got an airbrush? It's pretty easy.

I don't even get the whole "red ultras" thing. If you're mono codex and there's no confusion, what's the big deal? I understand if you're mixing detachments and it can cause confusion, but all the space marine models are now the same (except characters) so why does color matter? If you had a red army and painted a red Guilliman, why couldn't they be all Ultramarines? Who's it hurting?

Picking the good rules because you want to win a game is fine, just don’t pretend you’re doing it for fluff reasons or whatever. Just be open that you’re doing counts-as because you want a 3+ instead of a 4+.

I don't mind getting confused with a friend while trying poo poo out, but if you're hitting the point of proxy characters and poo poo that isn't basically 1:1 with stat changes or stuff I'll probably get bored and feel like you've wasted my time on a Saturday. If you put down dudes on bikes painted orange, say they're White Scars and I can tell what units you're using then whatever. Also I soaked my airbrush all day and have a jam. I can't work it out and I wanted to paint my Hellblasters

Idk what the deal was with my airbrush, but I put it on full power and it must have blown out whatever poo poo was in there. These are going to look cool even though I'm going to have a poo poo time with some of the hands because I used a brainless subassembly.

Possibly a big ask but is there anyone else in the thread that’s a wheelchair user? How do you transport your models around, especially if you go to games alone? I currently have one of the Citadel skirmish cases but it’s already getting kind of full, I’m thinking that I might have to get a bigger case and just attach it to the handle of my backpack with a carabiner or something.
