So I decided to get into this hobby and bought some tiny titans. Ordered the current Adeptus Titanicus starter set, which has two Reavers, two Warhounds, and a couple of knights of some sort, and also an additional pair of Warhounds. The starter set hasn't arrived yet, but the Warhounds and my first set of paints and brushes have, so I assembled and did a godawful job of painting them. I asked for some tips about painting over in the painting thread, but here I'd like to ask about what else, if anything, I should pick up model wise, both to continue practicing on and to build two playable armies, since I don't think anyone I know has any titans and I'd like to be able to actually play the game. Also, I want to magnetize the weapons on everything bigger than the Warhounds, where should I buy magnets and I assume a drill bit? And is there a better option than Gorilla gel superglue for assembling models? It seems to work, just want to verify.

Anything bigger than a Warhound comes with slots for 5x1mm magnets, but the Reavers only have them on the carapace weapon, so It'll need some work. Ideally, you'll magnetize both the shoulder joint and the "wrist", so they can use a power fist as well as guns. The shoulder is a ball joint, so that's a little annoying. I've used a mix of 5mm and 3mm magnets, since my pin vice can't fit anything bigger than a 3mm bit, but it works fine.

Goonhammer.com have extensive Titanicus writeups by Legio, Titan and book. Magnets you can buy online. EBay has loads. I would get 5x1mm magnets since those are what the pre-cast holes in the Warlord and Warbringer are designed for. They're also handy for Reavers and Warhounds. The Warmaster needs 6x2mms. For making holes you will find milling bits (like what you get with Dremels) better than drills. Since your magnets are so thin, most drills are going to penetrate much further than the 1mm you need. Use a pin vise with a 1mm drill bit to make a pilot hole, then use the milling bits to carve out the hole slowly. If you're brave you can use a Dremel but I hand-turn mine (I hold the bit with my fingers). For assembling plastic models the best glue is Tamiya Extra Thin which is a solvent that literally welds the parts together. Reserve superglue for gluing metal to plastic or painted plastic together.

I built an Ambot for my necromunda collection about a week ago, let the glue dry for a couple days, primed it, and the model half fell apart while I was painting it. I guess maybe I didn't use enough, but it looked like plenty and I didn't want it to run out of the joints and dissolve any detail.

I guess maybe I didn't use enough, but it looked like plenty and I didn't want it to run out of the joints and dissolve any detail. No idea what you were doing for it to not fuse. IMO you should put a generous amount on each side of the part, and make sure you put pressure on the join for at least 30 seconds to help encourage the fusing. It doesn't need to be gushing out of the join on anything, and it doesn't have to be clamped with a death grip. Also, I've found that it doesn't dissolve detail. Even when I've gotten some on the outside of a model it's invisible after priming, as long as you leave it alone and let it dry.

If it's Tamiya extra thin, you don't brush it on like normal. You hold it up to seams and use capillary action similar to panel lining. It's not really of use for all assembly. Brushing it onto halves generally just has it dry too quickly to join parts together.

I prefer Revell's old precision applicator for normal assembly, but I like Tamiya for filling small seams or melting mold lines.

I guess maybe I didn't use enough, but it looked like plenty and I didn't want it to run out of the joints and dissolve any detail. See what spiky said. If you're brushing it on and then joining the parts, you're doing it wrong. You want to hold the parts together or very nearly so and then just touch the loaded brush to the seam and the glue will suck into the gap. Then you press the parts together to fuse. Tamiya extra thin doesn't have any "body", it literally melts the parts that are in contact together. If the fit on the mating surface is poor, you won't get a good join. This is very different to superglue, which polymerizes into an acrylic that bridges the parts together. You can bond poorly fitting parts together with superglue since it will just bridge all the gaps, and ironically if the surfaces are rough its even better since that provides more surface are for it to grab onto. I've had superglue joins pop simply because the surfaces were too smooth . You can gapfill with Tamiya Extra thin as well, but it works differently. You follow the joining procedure above but you flood the join with extra glue. Then when you press the parts together you will get a bead of molten plastic pressing up. When it's cured you sand that off and the gap is gone.

Same, I mainly use the revell plastic glue (the one with a thin metal pipe). When it gets clogged you just take out the pipe and burn off the dried glue with a lighter, preferrably while holding it with some tongs or something as it can get quite hot.

So I don't have skin in this convo (I.E. Women space marines), I offer this possible suggestion: X character asks Y chapter "Do you only recruit boys or girls as well?:" The reply simply being "We've never tried it." to basically insinuate that they only pick boys because that's just what they've been doing forever. Plays on the whole "We don't ask, we just do" aspect of mechanicus/imperium and opens up possibility. Other possibilities: Cawl doing it apropos of G-man's orders. G-man asking to make it happen just for the recruit potential. Sister's attempting to do so among their ranks as an elite unit etc. So many possibilities to make it happen but someone just needs to make it happen. Doesn't even need a huge reveal or a big deal about it: just do it. I would also mention that I have never seen GW specifically mention that Custodes were all from male recruits. Only thing I am aware of is that Sisters of Silence were all female, I see no reason why Custodes couldn't be from both male/female since they're recruited even earlier than Astartes.

That said, no real reason why Cawl who had 10k years to mess around with full genetic blueprints couldn't have figured it out.

Emperor: I don't want to make female Astartes because there's a risk they could reproduce with male Astartes and then the Astartes would be their own species and would become a threat to humanity, and my goal is to protect humanity. I have made Astartes geneseed so it doesn't work on women, because these are my priorities. Cawl: Yeah those aren't really my priorities. I changed the Primaris geneseed so it works on women. Guilliman: I'm not convinced my father would have approved of this. Aid to Guilliman: Here is a report of a recent battle in which several of these new female space marines comported themselves with honor in battle. Guilliman, a single tear running down his cheek: I'm convinced!

The fact that other authors had Malcador indicate that there was an option for the Primarchs being non-male means that it was more of the Emperor being kinda a dick and less about it being technologically impossible. The easiest answer is "Cawl's tinkering to create Primaris geneseed required additional genetic modifications. Some of those resulted in fixing the incompatibility issues with females, doubling the potential pool of recruits. This was welcome news to nearly all of the hard-pressed Astartes chapters..." etc. etc. They can just sell the Female Stormcast head upgrade sprue from Forgeworld as "Female Space Marines" and be done until they introduce new characters.

There is this old polish movie called Sexmission, about two guys who after taking part in a hibernation experiment wake up into a future where all men have been extinct for generations, and society consists only of women who reproduce with parthenogenesis. By the end of the movie the two guys secretly mix gametes into the beakers at the incubation center. The movie ends with a nurse screaming in horror after discovering a newborn baby's penis. Now I imagine introducing female space marines into 40k in a similar manner.

Eediot Jedi posted:gently caress off huge titanic war machines get added to the game and no no they were there all along just off camera happens all the time. I wondered the same thing about the Adeptus Titanicus, actually. Like, if those things exist, why would anyone bother with all the little soldiermans? It's not like the Imperium cares about preserving civilians and infrastructure through limited warfare, and it's not like most of the other factions do either, nor even taking and holding land, which is typically why you need infantry.

Presented without comment, ignore all screeching, quietly release some books involving them kicking rear end/taking names, end. Or they can do it the Marvel comics way where they go "check it out a new space marine hero" and just draw her like, standing there without even a cool pose and no expression on their face.

I really dislike Marvel's trend of "check out our new female hero!" and it's just an old hero but gender swapped It's like they're too scared to actually commit to an original new lady hero, so they just fall back on "Wolverine, BUT A LADY!" Give me more Ms Marvels and Squirrel Girls!

99.99999% of the Imperium who isn't an actual Space Marine probably wouldn't even blink if you told them the Adeptus Astartes, the Emperors Angels of Death were male/female/both. In universe they're so rarefied and distant no one that doesn't have contact with them would know (or care). The first in-universe chud who goes up to a female space marine and says "you cannot exist" will either (I) get every bone in their face broken if they're lucky or (II)strung up for immolation if they're not. In other words GW should just do it and anyone who complains can go hang. Drug addicts don't complain when the dealer changes the formula, they'll keep buying anyway. I bet Arch-whateverhisname still plays with his little nazi-mans even after being made persona non grata by GW.

Fun fact: Adeptus Titanicus caused the horus heresy as explanation as to why both sides had the same sculpts. The "new" Warmaster class actually appeared in an old illustration. The fluff around it is also pretty cool, and explains why it hasn't been in previous games.
