Was so excited that I went on to the GW site to browse and saw that they have my favorite model ever in stock. Canoness Veridyan. Love that female Judge Dredd look. So bought that and some more paint, cus you always need more.

So the new core rules call for 40mm objectives. The bases in the new objective box are 50mm.

I see this come up like every edition, but is basing my oldschool hormagaunts on 32s going to be dis/advantageous in 9th? I'd do it so they look better and be more stable, but I don't want to do a model for advantage or screw myself over. (I just got home with the rulebook, but I'm sure this has been figured out already.)

They're still officially on 25s, and with the extra area you can cover with such a big unit even with 9th's new coherency rules that would be a significant advantage.

Correct above that they're still on 25's, but I think they'll look better on them anyway - they're your small little bug swarm that want to pack in to a little bunch thematically

Oh well, 25s it is then. I'll just weigh them down or something, that'll help with the stability. Thanks, everyone.

If you get some miliput, it's way cheaper than green stuff, and you can buy anything small but heavy (steel ball bearings for example) relatively cheaply, then hide it all with miliput to flatten the base at the bottom and stop them getting caught on terrain or anything.

But I'm putting magnets in my bases as per that one goon suggestion as it both weighs the base down, lowering the center of gravity on the model, and makes things easy to transport using a baking tray

Spent two days agonizing over the best way to magnetize my new Retributors, then realized that I magnetized my Lizardmen Bastiladon and Stegadon before Age of Sigmar and literally never played a game with them since then, so I'm just going ahead and assembling the Retributors however because I'll probably get more before I ever actually set foot in a store again.

Cross posting from the painting thread: I made a fake youtube account to make a stupid joke painting video for the guys at the shop.

Won my first ever game of 9th tonight! Had 2 scout snipers and 2 tac marines left, rolled a 1 to end the game against a swarm of poxwalkers and nurgle Terminators with 9vp to 8. Only my 5th game ever so i was buzzing!

If they're not slotta-bases, I just glue a penny or nickel (or w/e local currency you have) or a washer underneath. Spanish Manlove mentioned it, but cheap fishing weights for the slotta bases

So, judging by someone squinting way too hard at that one shot of the new Space Marines codex table of contents, looks like that Land Speeder thing is called the Storm Speeder, there's three variants, and also we're getting Heavy Intercessors.

^burtle posted:Happy Release Day! Hell yeah dude lookin good. On your next batch pay attention to some of the mold lines and if you can spring for it, drill a hole for the gun barrels using a pin vice, which is like a tiny hand drill. If you already have drill bits and trust your dexterity you can just straight up try to drill them out like a barbarian but the pin vice helps a lot. It's also super useful for magnetizing stuff later which means that you can optimize a box of dudes or a vehicle by magnetizing the options on it so you can choose to use all of them as opposed to being locked into one loadout by finalizing it with super glue. As an extreme example, on those boyz you could magenetize the arms and swap out choppas for shootas so you're not stuck with one loadout each for them.

So when the new Marine Codex hits, I can still use the Blood Ravens rules that were in White Dwarf right? Assuming there’s nothing in the new book for my boys?

should be good unless they dramatically rework successor traits. that said the correct way to do BR chapter tactics is to just pick a founding chapter and use their rules and relics.

What is a generally accepted conversion/kitbash for equivalent units. I was thinking of making some bladed cog units using Adeptus Mechanicus Serberys Raiders as a starting base and giving them a Kelermorph vibe. I personally don't intend to play with them (more interesting in building/painting) but if I gave/sold them away I would prefer if they weren't useless. If a player brought them in to play a game and said they were Genestealer Cults Atalan Jackals would that be accepted since they are both mounted units? Images aren't mine; just for reference.

The current legends don't include anything as prominent as Terminators. Perhaps more importantly, many of the terminator sculpts are relatively modern so GW probably doesn't want to just toss away the investment. They're safe through 9th, and probably beyond.

I'm seriously hoping that they complete their functional phase out of Smol Marines by leaving Termies as the only point efficient option and explaining it in the fluff as all the old variant marines having gone through enough attrition and replenishment with Primaris that they all have Terminator Honours by default because the suits would go unused otherwise.

Yeah some kind of permanent old guard option would be cool. I'm not up to date with the fluff, but have the marines completely stopped creating og marines? I know some were doing a bit of both or whatever based on supplies.

Here's an image gallery of the 12 frames of the YouTube video in which the new Space Marine codex table of contents are visible, taken at 1080p, followed by the first 10 of those 12 frames adjusted using Photoshop's Perspective Distort option to make them all straight and bigger. The theory was that, even though this is fairly lossy, the human ability to pull data from noise would mean I could interpolate missing information by rapidly paging between ten images with slightly different noise patterns. It... seems? ...to have worked? Not perfectly; I'm not able to pull out the names of two of the three Storm Speeder variants, and I can't make out the page numbers surrounding the Suppressor Squad to get an estimate of how big the datasheet is likely to be and therefore how likely it is we're getting a multipart version of it. But anyway here's a transcribed unit list. FIRST COLUMN -Primaris Captain -Captain with Master-crafted Heavy Bolt Rifle -Captain in Phobos Armor -Captain in Gravis Armor -Captain in Terminator Armor -Captain -Captain on Bike -Primaris Lieutenant -Lieutenant in [REIVER?] Armor (I thought this ought to be the Bladeguard Lieutenant, but judging by the Indomitus datasheet that guy's just a gear option for the regular Primaris Lieutenant) -Lieutenant -Lieutenant in Phobos Armor -Primaris Librarian -Librarian -Librarian in Phobos Armor -Librarian in Terminator Armor -Primaris Chaplain -Primaris Chaplain on Bike -Chaplain in Terminator Armor -Chaplain -Primaris Techmarine -Servitors SECOND COLUMN -Techmarine -Intercessor Squad -Assault Intercessor Squad -Heavy Intercessor Squad -Infiltrator Squad -Incursor Squad -Tactical Squad -Company Champion (Am I crazy or does this look like it actually says "Company Champions," plural?) -Scout Squad (I guess they're Elites now...) -Primaris Apothecary -Apothecary -Company Ancient -Primaris Ancient -Bladeguard Ancient -Ancient in Terminator Armor -Veteran Intercessor Squad (Neat-o; wonder if they'll be able to draw from a larger pool of gear using all the Intercessor kits....) -Bladeguard Veteran Squad -Company Veterans -Vanguard Veteran Squad -Sternguard Veteran Squad -Judiciar -Reiver Squad -Aggressor Squad -Terminator Assault Squad -Terminator Squad -Relic Terminator Squad (Probably a single datasheet for the Cataphractii and Tartaros Terminators; they do share gear) -Centurion Assault Squad -Invictor Tactical Warsuit -Dreadnaught -Contemptor Dreadnaught -Venerable Dreadnought -Ironclad Dreadnought -Redemptor Dreadnaught -Assault Squad -Outrider Squad -Invader ATV Squad -Bike Squad -Scout Bike Squad -Attack Bike Squad -Suppressor Squad -Inceptor Squad -Storm Speeder Hellstrike THIRD COLUMN -Storm Speeder SOMETHING -Storm Speeder SOMETHING -Land Speeder -Land Speeder [TORNADO?] -Land Speeder [TYPHOON?] (Did they split these off into separate entries for Power Level reasons...?) -Hellblaster Squad -Devastator Squad -Centurion Devastator Squad -Eliminator Squad -Eradicator Squad -Thunderfire Cannon -Firestrike Servo-turret -Hunter -Stalker -Whirlwind -Predator [DESTRUCTOR?] -Predator [ANNIHILATOR?] -Gladiator Lancer -Gladiator Reaper -Gladiator Valiant -Vindicator -Land Raider -Land Raider Crusader -Land Raider Redeemer -Repulsor -Repulsor Executioner -Rhino -Razorback -Impulsor -Drop Pod -Land Speeder Storm -Stormhawk Interceptor -Stormraven Gunship -Stormtalon Gunship -Hammerfall Bunker

I made one of my veteran sergeant small Marines in to a preacher. He now travels with the Sororitas and spreads the word of the emperor with his chainsword. He was holding an auspex scan so I just replaced it with a Rosarious. And I put a tonsure on him with some clay  Preach!
