Painted some battlesisters, very happy with the bases. Sand + yellow and then Reikland fleshshade and some modeling clay for flat rocks. http://imgur.com/gallery/puu6iyR And to avoid confusion, MSU in this case stands for minimal size unit. Not some obscure US University. MRLOLAST fucked around with this message at 12:12 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Shame it's just a typo. Transfers are getting scarce for some marine subfactions. When 8th launched, GW had transfers included in the specialized boxes (i.e. Dark Angels Intercessors) rather than in the upgrade kits. Then they stopped selling the specialized boxes. Newer marine factions get the transfers in their upgrade kits, but GW didn't repackage the old ones to include transfers.

Thanks for the feedback! I am still growing my paint collection so I will see about getting my hands on some orange. I do agree about them looking too clean so I may go back and splash them with some Nuln Oil and Agrax.

neaden posted:My favorite 40k Novel Series is Peter Fehervari's Dark Coil. It's a series of interlocking novels and short stories. Each novel is stand alone, and most of the short stories are too, but there are connections between things that make it really rewarding to read them all. The general recommendation is to start with Fire Caste which is basically 40k Heart of Darkness and if you like it then move on to the short stores and the Cult of the Spiral Dawn, but you could start with the Cult of the Sprial Dawn or Requiem Infernal instead, you just won't know who a few of the characters were previously. . The Dark Coil is really excellent and absolutely worth reading if you have any interest in weird horror

I’ve been assuming the Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Space Wolves would probably get their upgrade sprues repackaged as doubles with tiny transfer sheets to match the format of the other First Founding chapters whenever their new codexes came out, personally. I wish they’d do new big dedicated transfer pages, though.

Stephenls posted:So. It's not just that the Primaris Space Marines are new, it's that their addition to the setting as an unknown, continuously-revealed quantity is unsuited to the context the best Games Workshop material used to occupy, and their existence and the need to push them ensures no material like that can be produced anymore -- and, indeed, such material that was being produced (Cyraxus again) had to be junked because it didn't fit with the new line direction. Well said.

I was looking at the Horus Heresy series and it's now over 50 books which seems a little excessive? Also gotta catch up with Gaunts Ghosts, they were by far the best 40K books back in the day

I heard GSC is really bad in 9th now? It's a shame because I was looking forward to using them. Are they still useful when paired up with Tyranids? I'd love to see some of your lists and hear some of your stories if you're a GSC player.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/08/10/power-up-and-down/ Not relevant to that many but GW just released a FAQ update about power ratings. I've been overcome with a weird fey mood in that I want to repaint my Blood Ravens into Raven Guard and I'm not sure if I should. Also not sure if I should strip them or just paint over everything since all I'd have to do is armor and shoulders for most of them.

Building and painting is what I enjoy so I'd probably just grab new models. If time is in plentiful supply though... I've never really gotten great results when trying to strip models. End up with a lot of paint still on them.

Gameko posted:I dunno. Building and painting is what I enjoy so I'd probably just grab new models. If time is in plentiful supply though... Yeah I have three more five man Marine teams in bits that I might as well build as Raven Guard. And if I'm really bored just paint over the red since it's only the armor that needs to be done and all you need a coat of black. Although I might need a new Commander in that case outside of a possible kitbash I've got unfinished. The only time I've had 100% success with stripping is with metal models down to the point it removed the primer as well.

I'd love to see some of your lists and hear some of your stories if you're a GSC player. It’s pretty hard to tell, as tournaments haven’t begun yet and that’s usually how people evaluate whether an army is good. I’m still of the opinion that outside the very specific tournament meta with extremely optimised lists, all the factions are fine and can be ‘good’ with practice, ** tactics ** and good list building and so on. With regards to GSC and 9th; on the surface they did take a bit of a hit. Aberrants took another completely unnecessary points increase nerf, on top of the already unnecessary points nerf they got last year. Worse, the way you win games has changed in ways that are kinda bad for GSC. They’re probably the most glashammer of all the factions, and the game is a lot about being able to take and hold objectives now. Even incidental bolter or lasgun fire easily takes out most of GSC stuff. At the same time a lot of factions benefited substantially from vehicles being able to move and shoot without penalty, but it didn’t really help GSC much. In addition, every faction can now deep strike anything (for command points), which kinda takes away from the GSC main gimmick, but they still have more tricks than most with regards to that, and the blip deployment mechanic arguably got a little better because of how it can nullify first turn advantage. People say taking a ton of achilles ridgerunners is still good in 9th. I’m not too crazy about it. Still initially for ultra competitive tournament stuff GSC took at hit from 8th, compared to other factions, and they were already kinda lacklustre. For friendly games and even like semi-hardcore list games they’re just fine. As is most things. E: Another thing: Specialist detachments from vigilus being removed form tournament stuff hurt GSC more than anyone probably. Getting those all important charges (vital because if you don't make the charges, your stuff is just hanging out there, and is easily shot off the board by literally anything) got a good deal harder with specialist detachments being gone.

Kitchner posted:These days, since War of the Spider, you buy any assassin you want, and then there's a stratagem called "Shadow Assignment" used before the battle begins, which swaps the assassin out for a different one. This is essentially a buff because say you use the Callidus or Culexus Assassin in like 80% of games, it means in those games you don't actually have to spend the 2CP. From what i can see you need a Patrol, Battalion or Brigade to take an assassin without spending CP, which isn't great for Knights. Seems like an oversight. I might have to bring some allied Skitarii for objective-grabbing to justify the extra detachment.

Yeah you're right, I didn't notice that they specify those specific detachments. Might be worth bringing some allies anyway to be honest, I think pure Knights is going to struggle in matches where there's 6 objectives on the table.

As much as I love Terminators actually feeling beefy (I always considered making a Termy-focused army), I'm a little worried about more and more power creep for the Marines. I get that this is to keep up with Primaris, but while buffing them, GW barely increased point costs (unless they Erata the point costs when the new SM Codex comes out, and make the new book invalid within a month). Maybe this is just the start of 9th edition codex's buffing units across all faction, until Primaris-level stats are the new baseline.
