What's the likelihood of Renegades and/or Chaos Guard being made an actual army instead of a Forge World thing? Like, every single Blackstone release just seems to be adding more models to that pile, and while they're mono-pose they're loving sick.

I was going to buy the crap out of them to play in an R&H army, but even the Traitor Commissar is keyworded to only play in the army with the BSF Chaos Hammer lord and his chums! So you're basically stuck proxying them for now.

Does anyone have a good tutorial for Retro Ultramarines? As part of my slow slide into middle age and eventual senility I am regressing and thinking of the lovely Ultramarines I had back in 2E and wondering if the color scheme would look good on Primaris. It's BORAT VOICE MY TINY HU-MON'S birthday in a month or so and maybe I could pick up First Strike or KNF. Death Guard vs. Ultras is kind of the centerpiece of the current boxed sets right? E: Hurr. Goonhammer has it at the bottom: https://www.goonhammer.com/how-to-paint-everything-ultramarines/

The lore spends so much time talking about renegades and the Imperium spends more time fighting then then actual Chaos Legions but they never seem to get an actual army outside of FW. Genestealer Cult-esque brood brothers rules for Chaos would also be cool just so I can take my impulse purchase leman Russes with my thousand sons but that'll probably take away from GSCs thing. Re: psychic awakening, given the Tau are meant to be trailing the path of humanity during the Dark Age of Technology, some kind of psychic posessed drone which the Tau naively believe isn't a ticking time bomb waiting to happen would be cool. And/or Nicassar.

One of the big pre-8th rumors was a new non- Imperial human army. People were expecting everything from Maccrage successionists to Tau colonials, but chaos guard seems much more likely and obvious.

Real excited to get some warriors and gaunts soon and practice it. Kraken is a ludicrously good hive fleet trait, it pretty much guarantees a 5-6 inch advance and fall back and charge is great, it makes your assault units near impossible to tie up with anything. It's also got easily the best relic and the warlord trait's decent too. I've never even considered taking any of the other hivefleets.

Yeah if you’re looking for mobility and flexibility Kraken is absolutely the best choice. If you’re playing a bunch of Carnifices it’s also killer to force bonus mortal wounds on units each turn. Yeah, you take a little more overwatch, but the upside is incredible.

  Katya Úlfurdottir’s knight house was almost torn to shreds by Magnus the Red’s campaign of vengeance against the Space Wolves. Only her Armiger Helverin, Fjandahamri, and a few others managed to escape the destruction of their fiefdom at the hands of Chaos. Now she fights on as a Freeblade of sorts, having been inducted into the pack of the Raudhklo’s. A unit of Primaris Space Marines belonging to the 13th Great Company of the Space Wolves. Her diminutive size in comparison to the towering Marines have earned her the affectionate nickname “Cub”. A name she partially resents but also wears with pride at the same time. For she is a cub that packs a mean bite with her heavy firepower. Done over about a weeks time or so. Possibly two. Didn’t really keep track of things. Unlike last time around this has some of the best edge highlights I’ve done in a while, having sharp corners (and good flowy paint) helps a lot. Even if there’s some smearing here and there. First time I’ve used transfers in a very long time and it ended up pretty well. Did help I cut it out pretty close. The lessons learned from this is that if I’m ever building another Armiger is that I’m going to magnetize the connection between the body and legs because that thing is not stable at all. Probably not meant to stay unglued. Oh and base with metal primer next time around. Still a neat kit. But I do wish I could swap one of the arms out for the chainsword or some other melee weapon. And also use one of the head swaps available on Shapeways. Base will be unfinished until I get my hands on Mordant Earth.

In regards to Renegades and such... I would really dig non-Chaos Renegades, both marines and others. Just people in general, fed up with the Imperium and doing their own thing, or fighting them like the Soul Drinkers did. A proper T'au auxilliary army would make me jump back into the hobby.

You can just use the rules for guard or marines if you're making sensible renegades, not much would change as far as their fighting style and equipment. A Tau auxiliary range would be pretty interesting.

Plastic Aspect Warriors are already confirmed. If Auxilliariex get updated rules and models, plus maybe one more client race with psychic, an actual HQ of literally any kind, and a single decent heavy support slot they'd be playable as an army. As is they kinda suck.

Plastic Chaos Guard seems like a no brainer. The Blackstone models got a great response, and the codex is already like 80 percent written.

Guys help I don't know how to paint my tiny planes. I'll be playing Imperium, and I'm currently leaning toward one of these:  Because they both seem really iconic and also relatively easy, although painting stripes sounds tricky. Any other better ideas?

They’re certainly not going to release Traitor Guard using exactly the Blackstone Fortress Models, because, yeah, those things are on existing sprues and you’d need to make new moulds to offer them separately. But those models existing means GW has put artist-hours into designing them visually and creating CAD files for them; which could potentially be tooled into new sprues for a general Traitor Guard release. As for whether they’ll ever do that... they’re not going to stop putting out new armies any time soon. Current obvious guesses for the next couple of full new army releases be World Eaters, Emperor’s Children, a full Ynnari release, and something that makes use of the plastic Sisters of Silence; current everyone-wants-this guess with less evidence it’s happening would be Dark Mechanicum, I think. That the Traitor Guard have clearly been designed and have CAD files probably puts them as more likely for an upcoming release than the latter?

Strobe posted:Guys help I don't know how to paint my tiny planes. I'll be playing Imperium, and I'm currently leaning toward one of these: Painting stripes becomes a lot easier with some tape to block off the areas that you want to paint, and always to paint darker colors over lighter colors. When I did my Iron Warriors, I would do stripes by laying down multiple strips next to each other on the yellow areas and then peeling off alternating strips so that the area that I wanted black was exposed and the yellow was covered.

I've never used masking tape for painting before. I think this would be a good opportunity, too, with straight lines and broad flat panels. The Jolly Rogers are just fuckin' iconic though and that's an easy gray to make look good.

Whenever I get around to getting an AI thunderbolts box I'm probably just gonna cave in and paint most of them as the Ace Combat aces.  Even if doing an aggressors scheme is tempting too. I know I have the USN Grey colour at least in VMC form.
