In the grim future, there is only commerce.
as an aside I really like how the (playtest) rules for loyalist Alpha Legion are very clearly not.

you get bonus vp for getting your loyalist allied detachment killed

I think all the characters can be used by either traitors or loyalists too. Hydra Dominatus.

I'm still undecided as to which legion to start with. Part of it is determining what playstyle I want, and part of it is that I'm undecided as to which side. Why?

gently caress the Emperor, and

gently caress the Chaos Gods. Seriously, these are our options?

Come play Night Lords m’lerd. Their legion trait is pretty good but we still haven’t seen the final legion reaction.

They’re extremely traitorous; the first captain Sevatar coined the battle cry Death to the False Emperor. They never formally worshipped or followed chaos.
The color scheme and fluff own (we’re disgusting cowards) and the Night Lord trilogy written by ADB is some of the best Warhammer fiction in existence.

Agree that the Night Lords trilogy is great, even if the principal characters start increasingly telling anyone and everyone to stop whining as the series goes on.

By the third book it felt like every 1st Claw member said "spare me your whining" every third or fourth page.

Do we have any idea on if little boxes are going to be released alongside the new big box? I'd want to do a kill team of Mk 6s but I don't think I want a whole army of them.

Knowing GW's release schedules probably a little later after the initial box.

I'm worried that the transfer sheets and new upgrade kits will release the same time as the box set. Which means I will be able to pick up the box set on release day and wait for the transfers and shoulders to arrive from GW later. :(

Breathe.

Probably a dumb question since there's no real "meta" or anything for this game, but do any of the forgeworld vehicles stand out as particularly good or bad? They're all so expensive that I really don't want to waste my money.

The Sabre Strike Tank looks cool, and I also like some of the Sicaran variants, but dropping that much money on a single model that's not, like, a centerpiece of my army makes me cautious.

When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?

Depends on the armor color but I did mine with red contrast.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what a good color will be for that somewhat maroon Word Bearer red? All of my test models keep coming out just a bit too red and not maroon enough.

Mine are more white, but yeah, thanks for the input, goons.

Also, weird how the SoH LA is... get hurt less for the turn you charged/got charged? Not very ganger wolfpack of them.

Had a look on my desk and Blood Red from Scale75 might be good, and Burnt Red or Hull Red from Vallejo but the vallejo colours might be leaning too far into brown though.

If you want Citadel stuff, Barak Nar Burgundy and Gal Vorbak Red are great colors, the former being darker/a tad more purple than the latter.

There’s also Word Bearers Red, but it’s brighter.

Hull Red or Black Red from Vallejo make a really great first coat to build Citadel’s Khorne Red on top of, makes it really rich

I've continued to whittle down my list of potential starting Legions. It is currently:

White Scars
World Eaters
Thousand Suns
Word Bearers
Salamanders
Alpha Legion

And a potential "The Loyalist Side of Istvaan" soup list, but that may be later.

Oh hey that's kind of similar to mine, but only remove World Eaters & Word Bearers and add Space Wolves. That's partially because I got a Burning of Prospero box set a while back.

Space Wolves look to be very good, if you can get over the requisite shame of being a furry.

Nothing I've heard.

I still think it'll be at the same price point as Ash Wastes. It's a huge box and they said "Under $300 USD" an Ash Wastes is $299.
