Crimson Fists are incredibly solid. The exploding 6's on bolt weapons was never not a nice bonus. I know the Fire Raptor is expensive but holy hell does it get silly especially with the doctrine bonus. it proooobably helped my first game with them was against mainly orks.

So, I'm ultimately planning to go for a fairly meta army (Evil Sunz core, Deathskulls Souped Up Shokka, Bad Moonz Lootas), but I'm trying to figure out the HQ situation now that Big Meks with KFF have been relegated to Legends. Right now, I'm planning on putting my Warboss in Sunz, Big Mek with SAG in Skulls, and a weirdboy in with each of them. Is that reasonable? What should I go with for my Bad Moonz HQs? EDIT: KFF, not SAG. JackMann fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Oct 28, 2019 |

The lack of a Sunz character with a model is one thing I hope they fix soon. I’m building a Goffs army with the intention of adding some Sunz vehicles. Maybe get a character for a HQ, I added Boss Zagstruk and 2 boxes of Stormboyz to the start collecting box for a bit more punch. I don’t know how helpful that is since I’m new to the hobby, I mostly just wanted to complain about the lack of a Sunz character when I think most other klanz have at least one and Goffs have 3 I think.

Goffs, Blood Axes, and Freebootaz are the only clans with GW produced characters. Zhadsnark from FW is Evil Sunz, but that's it. I think I'd be careful wishing for GW to make an Evil Sunz character, judging by how the warlord trait and relic are

I'm currently working on an Eversor / Vindicare assasins while trying out Contrast paint for the first time and it's a bit of a game-changer. It's soooo much easier to do synskin thanks to the way contrast helps find the right spots for highlighting. Looks so much better than my old Culexus done in layer paints, and it's the first time I'm happy painting something in black.

hello, i am new to wh40k. last november i started reading the black library books because a franchise that has lasted like 30 years seemed possibly compelling, and now ive read over 40 of them. for quite a while i had decided against playing the game because i have an addictive personality and thought i might really enjoy it and spend a lot of money buying plastic miniatures, and recently i succumbed and bought a warp crate which is basically a random miniature loot crate. i ended up with 5 orks which i dont particularly care for but i painted them and had so much god drat fun doing it that i dove into the ambull hole that i bought the first strike kit on amazon and now i have 3 death guard goons, 6 shambling pox walkers, 3 primaris intercessors and 3 rievers. tbh i have a simple question which i probably already know the answer, but for possibly irrational reasons i dont like ultramarines and the data sheets or whatever for my space marines have the ultramarine keyword. they are the easy to build models and dont have alternate weapons on their sprues. are these dudes just generic and i can paint them whatever chapter i want and have them still legal for play?

Yes. The included datasheets are just a "quick start" option and because Ultramarines are the default they use that for the chapter. If you get the space marine codex it allows you to substitute whatever chapter you please.

For a casual game it doesn't matter. For a tournament game those are actually bespoke Ultramarines datasheets letting you field understrength units. They are now wholly useless because they didn't get Angels of Death in FAQ/errata so really that's just a neat fun fact to impress your other local players who correctly never thought about it that hard. EDIT: I want to be extra clear that this is only true for the 3-man squad datasheet; you can use those models for whatever you drat well please, they are not shackled to the datasheet in the box you bought them in.

So I watched an IF vs Orc game at my local store the the past week and the IF force was all primaris and max boltered out (so to speak), and the orc player was practically tabled by the end of turn 2. Please tell me I've missed some glaring weakness in IF games when a generalist horde mulching army can kill heavy targets pretty drat easy with just bolters/heavy-bolters and neither give up any capacity against hordes or vehicle heavy lists.... Is it just a case of niche 'heavy' armies without the vehicle keyword being their foil?

Orks are pretty much the perfect target for fists, as even their vehicles aren't particularly durable.

I’ve just finally gotten around to reading Dark Imperium and Guilliman takes the time to consider how abominable they are, so I would believe the assumptions are correct. In a universe where people can have their souls devoured for accidentally thinking about something or being bitten by a fly, it’s just another terrible reality on the pile.

Just throwing it out there are, but that book was definitely miserable. Bits and pieces of Dark Imperium which were ok, like Guilliman talking about his dislike of cherubs. Unfortunately the rest of that book and it's sequel are just massive Primaris infomercials. Lords of Silence is ok though.

Yeah it’s pretty striking how thoroughly they’re highlighted, but at least the author goes out of the way to voice some of the reservation and disappointment of “normal” marines falling by the wayside. Reading well after the product rollout, it’s pretty incredible how many models they got in there, both Imperial and Chaos-related. My one disappointment based on the reading is that Nurgle daemons don’t have gross whale corpse transports.

I’ve been trying to keep up with the lore, and I haven’t found too much about Phoenix Rising yet. From what I can gather nothing too earth shattering has happened yet. Strife between various Eldar factions has intensified a little, Shalaxi Helbane makes her 40K debut by clowning a bunch of named characters, and some mavericks have started researching a wacky plan to combine Craftworld spirit stones and Drukhari regrowth so that they can come back after dying to empower Ynnead. Is that the gist of it?

These books take place at various times in the hundred or so years between the end of 7th edition and the beginning of 8th and aren't advancing anything in any way. We might get some interesting things like you mentioned but ultimately it's just filling in the giant SCENE MISSING between Gathering Storm and the end of the Indomitus Crusade.
