I'm really hoping the Impulsor becomes the new Rhino insofar as they use it as the chassis for other vehicles with dedicated rolls and no carrying capacity like some sort of Primaris Predator equivalent.



I think they will. The new vehicles share a lot of design elements with the land raider and rhino so it would make sense. It looks like the space marine range is getting a soft reboot in a way which is kind of analogous to the new star wars films, it's different in many ways but hey there's a death star and oh, isn't that an evil emperor?

Every time they mention it on the Badcast, they say, "Don't tell Mike Brandt about this," so I guess it was an inside joke? :shrug:

So I've popped in and out asking for help on beginner stuff through out the thread about getting back into the table top portion of this hobby. If you've been in the discord this past week you’ll also know I came into an absolutely fuckoff MASSIVE army of blood angels. The problem being that since I haven't played since I was a literal child that Im struggling to figure out which models are which both in the codex and special characters/Primaris. Im going to link to an imgur post I just made which has the vehicles and dreadnoughts and I will come back and edit this post when I finish counting and taking pictures of the infantry and models im unfamiliar with. Any and all help will be appreciated. Im severely overwhelmed and under prepared.

You've got a lot of duplicates in there, so if you take individual pictures of things we can tell you what they are. As is it'd be extremely complicated to tell you which one is which.

With your second image I can basically sum it up as "you have a lot of everything". It would take hours for me to inventory it. Spend some time researching on the GW website, and post up anything you specifically want to know about.

Yeah, my conservative estimate is that it's 600+ models. My recommendation would be to think about the kind of lists you want to build, think if you want to play Apoc, grab those models and then sell the rest. You're probably going to want to sell 80% of that even if you're holding on to extra stuff.

I doubt they ever played. My guess is that they had some sort of manic compulsion to assemble minis, like that person that started building a house and just never stopped.

To answer your questions and horrify you more, he was just an avid blood angels fan who collected for a lonnngggg time and I believe was also sold a pretty big starter army when he began over a decade ago.

The horrifying part is that is only most of the army. He tradded away some of it for a smaller custodes set since he actually intended to play the custodes after dropping the BA army for about three years. And another chunk is going to a local game store garage sale so he cam get some credit there for paints and stuff

A three-hundred thousand degree baptism by nuclear fire;
we had it coming.
Aren't the Frontline Gaming guys the ones who are, more or less, the main play-testers for Matched Play 40k? That would pretty much do it; on top of the fact that they were pretty much the only ones making any effort to balance 7th Edition 40k - which gives them a fair bit of goodwill.
