It seems to me that you're sorta missing the point. I'm not handing out warnings and probations on the basis of deciding for everyone that the runes on the transfer sheet are definitely nazi. What I'm trying to make clear is that we won't tolerate goons using the rhetorical strategies of the alt-right to dismiss and ridicule people who have raised this kind of concern. If someone wants to engage in a good-faith debate, argue that they personally don't find those symbols on the transfer sheet to be a problem and they think GW wasn't exercising poor judgement there, then they can find a way to express that opinion that isn't dismissive of the very real underlying problem of alt-right jackholes normalizing their evil, and that doesn't denigrate and insult the people who don't agree with their take.

Someone in the mod forum linked to this, the first in a series of videos, that I think might be helpful to understand what this playbook looks like, for folks genuinely interested in avoiding it. I haven't watched the series, but even just this first 9-minute intro covers the basics pretty well. This is from 2017 so it spends a minute talking about the pathway to getting Trump in power, but all of it is still quite relevant today.

Trying to figure out what to do with my two sets of Indomitus Marines. I'd like to do a Space Marine force but can't decide on what marines to choose. I really like Dreadnoughts, would prefer a melee focused army, and would like to stick to primaris when possible.

I've managed to narrow it down to:

Iron Hands
Black Templars
Space Wolves

Iron Hands love dreadnoughts and the lists I've seen tend to stick to primaris models but they are absolutely a shooting army

Black Templars are super melee focused and are getting a bunch of new primaris models soon but don't seem to have much love for Dreadnoughts, a bit of an unknown quantity with the supplement coming out soon

Space Wolves are good on the dreadnoughts and the melee focus but they seem to be more focused on small marines than any other marine army out there, plus some of their models are really stupid looking (wulfen, stormwolfs and Grimnar on his wolf sled)

Blood Angels can give their dreadnoughts "wings" and lore wise are heavily primaris'd now. Some of their strongest units are first born though

You can always run a successor chapter. I'm working on a Wolfspear army right now, all Primaris with Space Wolves flavor and heavily geared toward melee. Plus, whatever issues exist with the transfer sheet, one exists, so you don't have to paint a million identical sigils.

Hello Warhams

I recently went back into covid lockdown, and I had picked up the 40k Elite Box a few months ago and I forgot about it until now. I haven't painted models before aside from a single salamander when I was a teen but I'm pretty happy with how these came out and wanted to share :shobon: I don't have a lot of paints due to being on lockdown - literally only the citadel starter box, a black primer can and a few brushes but I managed to get this together with the paints there. I've got a few blood angels I'm working on too but those are still ages away.

I wasn't sure what colour scheme I wanted to paint with these dudes but I didn't want to do the traditional bog-standard necron.






I was inspired by the Nephrekh dynasty stuff - talking about how they are gilded in "metagold" - but couldn't find any official paintschemes to use. I'm happy with that concept now I've done a few test models though.

If you’re willing to wait and see, there’s the Wolfspear Index Astartes in the next WD, and since they’re canonically an All-Primaris Space Wolves successor chapter, you wouldn’t have to use the models you dislike at all (since their rules will presumably reflect this) On the downside you also couldn’t use Ragnar or Bjorn.

I see no problem with this.

My suggestion is to use the blue as the shade colour for the coat for the coats to get a colour shift effect and then a black shade for the pants to make it darker than the blue shadow on the coats.

So if you have two sets of Indomitus marines I'm assuming you have:


  • Two captains with sword and shield
  • Two lieutenants with sword and shield
  • Two chaplains on foot
  • Two Judiciars
  • 6 Bladeguard Veterans
  • 2 Bladeguard Ancients
  • 6 Eradicators
  • 6 Outriders
  • 20 Assault Intercessors

Realistically of your three choices, the armies that these models most closely align with is Space Wolves and Black Templars. I can't see you ever using 20 Assault Intercessors, blade guard Ancients, Judiciars, chaplains etc with Iron Hands. Bladeguard and Outriders are sort of a "maybe" with them too.

If I wanted to do an iron hands army very little in that Indomitus list would be on my list of units to buy, to the point I'd say well you are essentially starting from scratch if you want a competitive list.

Of Black Templars and Space Wolves, its the latter that go more in on cool dreadnoughts and while they do have unique small marine units my partners space wolf army contains a grand total of 2 small marine units (thunderwolf cav and Murderfang if you count old dreads as small marine) and some wolves (not marines big or small I guess?) so it's not a problem.

Just turn one of the captains or the extra blade guard ancient in to a Libby or an apoc. Get rid of the shield and add one if the hands or guns from the assault intercessors sprue or just snap off the halo and fill in the skelly and he can be an extra bladeguard especially with a normal helmet. Likewise with the lieutenants you can either run them as that or they make very good subs for blade guard sergeants.
Make your own custom chapter and play your marines as whatever you wish. Several successful tournament armies are running as successors of chapters including iron hands, space wolf's and ultramarines because with the traits born heroes and whirlwind of range they all dish it out in the fight phase. And they can be in whatever color you like. Take whatever special units you like. The only thing they can't do is take the special characters for that chapter. But even then if you wanted to run Ragnar for a game, buy him and paint him in your chapter colors and run your army as pure space wolf's for those games.
The beauty of this is that it saves you a great deal of money and you will never be bored. Buy some wulfen and paint them as your army, buy some sang guard and do the same. Or why not the new Black templar flamer dude.
If you just want to get some games in , what you have makes a pretty decent white scars list, they I think make the best generic marines without anything added like dreadnoughts or smol assault marines.

That's mostly a fluff article but it does mention that rules previews are going to start dropping by next week so expect the Black Templars codex to be up for preorders soon.
Although some of the new art is rad as gently caress.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Iron hands are probably out just due to the stuff I own so that leaves Space Wolves and Black Templars.

Im not under any time pressure so I think Ill wait to see how the Black Templars turn out with their upcoming release. If that doesnt hook me Ill probably go for Space Wolves (painted in their superior pre-heresy scheme of course). I like dreadnoughts and primaris but those are just prefences and not hard dealbreakers for me.

It’s one of biggest pains in the rear end to magnetise but still quite doable. I’d say it’s slightly less of a pain than when I magnetised my baneblade, but only slightly. I do think it’s a good idea to magnetise as the ‘meta-pick’ has changed between mauler and forge quite a few times. In 8th maulers were preferred, but beginning of 9th the autocannon forgefiend had a revival, but also because it might even be relevant for different builds.

I know nobody cares but I finally made my decision. I'm going Death Guard as my main army. Going to try and build it up, get some games in, then I'll consider expanding to another faction. But you hams were right in that it'd suck to have two half armies instead of one full one.

That other faction will probably be Tyranids because they're just cool and I've always liked the Zerg bug thing they've got going on. Maybe by the time I get to that point, they'll have a new codex.

Either way, it's time to make some lists (500 pts to start with, yeah?) and buy some plastic dollies.
