Sisters get to pick one of four army-wide special rules which may help you define your army: Infiltrate, Crusader, Stealth, or +1 to combat resolution. But there's nothing specified by the fluff or rules. They're sadly underdeveloped and can't really function as their own independent army. They can dumpster elite infantry and they're all fearless tarpits, but they REALLY struggle at anti-tank. A great allied force though. There's supposedly jetbikes in the works, but who knows when/if those will ever appear.

Safety Factor posted:30k is INSANELY good. Agreed. Photo dump from last night's game. 3000 points of AL + demon friends against TKWG's Salamanders. The loyalists defeated themselves by failing all 4 reserve rolls on turn two so I was able to easily divide and conquer. Also getting Miasma of Rot and rad grenades on Vulkan was pretty big.

I got Robin Cruddace to try phosphex in the form of a sumpkroc. He did not like it. Then I lost the last quarter-jug to a harlot. Safety Factor fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Sep 2, 2019 |

This seems applicable here as well.Stephenls posted:And after a ton of testing: Easy "truescale" (that is, at the same scale as the new chaos marines, which is to say mean height of 31.5mm at the eye, accounting for variability in leg poses) Mark III Space Marines.

I remember that truescale was a pretty big movement in the hobby a number of years ago. The new MK3 kits are way easier to bulk up compared to what people were doing with the older generation of SM/CSM kits. The bulky armor is really forgiving.

The proportions of those don't look right. There's a reason the people truscaling do it mostly with shin inserts rather than extending the waist.

EDIT: On the other hand, if you compare it to the current CSM range, like this:   ...the knees seem to be at roughly the same height. That may just be how GW thinks Astartes knees work.

(Yeah this is the less funny answer. One of the Corax books has him fighting alongside his Raptors, some of whom look fine and some of whom are perfectly sane but so hosed up physically that they go into battle with just a bolter and a robe. Birbmonster units would be a good candidate for RG Heresy stuff if FW ever revisits the Legions who already have coverage, though given current ForgeWorld trends this would probably be handled by making them a new kind of Terminator.)

BULBASAUR posted:You could totally run them as black shields with the rejected gene mod fluff Naw, man, the Raptors were fully integrated into the post-Istvaan Raven Guard Legion structure and fought alongside the regular marines all the time. There's bits in Corax: Nevermore where he's leading an attack by RG legionnaries where the book makes it clear that, like, a third of the attacking force are only wearing partial armor because their mutations are severe enough that they don't fit in Astartes battleplate, and there's casual mention of a few dudes in bolters and robes because they can't wear armor at all -- but because the mutations are primarily physical, they've all got the same Deliverance cultural assumptions and flash-indoctrination training no matter what they look like, so this army that's one third horrible bird mutants are just behaving like regular-rear end Space Marines, barking orders back and forth on the vox and feeling brotherly dedication to each other and vaguely worrying about what will happen to them or their comrades they care so much about if the mutations keep getting worse but being real stoic about it. (Corax murders them all. That's what happens. Corax murders all the mutant Raven Guard and then flees into the Eye of Terror in shame. Thus the remnants of the Legion are spared the fate of both the Space Wolves, who have rampant mutation and don't care, and the Dark Angels, who are obsessed with keeping their dumb shameful secrets, and they are instead free to be a boring Codex-compliant chapter with no particular fanbase.) You could build a lore-accurate RG legion army by, I dunno, kitbashing some loving Wulfen with crow heads and regular bolters or something and sticking a few here and there throughout your tac squads and then just not treating the weird birdmonsters as anything but normal marines. Admittedly, to do this you'd have to engage with the Wulfen models, so I wouldn't. I think this did result in them killing a bunch of (ironically) Space Wolves one time, when the Space Wolves saw the birdmonsters and said "You're harboring mutants!" and the RG went "Oh, Christ, can't let that get out."

If you do a Blackshields army with the Chymeriae trait (which forbids taking an allied detachment) can you still take them as an allied detachment (to Mechanicus or Solars Aux or whatever, subject to the "Fellow Warriors only" restriction as per usual for Blackshields)?
