long-rear end nips Diane posted:Did you kitbash these? I love them. A bit. The sarge is using a chest piece from the 2009 BA upgrade kit, sanguinary guard arms and the rest are mk5. The "slambo" guy just has an axe from the older assault marine sprue. The rest should be the base mk5 kit but I think I swapped some of the legs from the non-assault marine mk5 kit to make them more dynamic.

This does seem to be the intention. All purple -> Black with purple highlights because they can't source enough of the purple paint anymore to go all purple -> [ten thousand year interlude] -> Black with pink highlights.

It also sets up the Death Eagles, since it notes that they kept their original colours (and that white was a common colour used in loyalist detachments). So since they were probably also running out of purple paint, they'd wind up in the black-and-white colours they have as a chapter post-heresy.

Much like the tragedy of the Salamanders for some reason never properly rebuilding over 10,000 years the Emperor's Children could never source enough purple paint in the Eye.

I mean they probably could, but they prefer the eye-searing pink. Or leopard-print.

Speaking of command unit kitbashes: found this guy while cleaning out my boxes of old stuff, along with a good 15+ guys worth of Mark IV parts, which is... reassuring. I have no idea what to use this dude for. Siege Breaker is my best bet right now, even if the power fist is kind of unfitting I guess. Not really any other stuff that doesn't look weird with the cloak and allows a power fist... Thoughts? (I can put pretty much anything in the other hand, found the original bolter that broke off though.) Maybe I'll do some test models and see if I want to come back in the interim.  e: what the gently caress I found 25 complete tactical marines' worth of parts, and a shitload of extra parts, just sitting in another box. including several of my truescale projects that predate primaris releases. how long have these been here???

There's a short story where Eidolon and the Kakophoni are fighting some other EC and get acid dumped on them that turns their purple bright pink. They think it's rad and start chugging the acid

Angel Exterminatus, I believe, had a passage of the Iron Warriors reacting to the new, hedonistic Emperor's Children. Aside from lacking full-on mutations and the Eightfold Star, they were basically what we think of nowadays as Chaos Marines, mutilation and all - there was even a banner with a sigil that looks suspiciously like that of She-Who-Thirsts. (And of course, this discussion ignores the Sons of Horus and the Word Bearers, the former having at least the possessed Luperci and the latter being pretty much all-in.)

I've got an Ahriman model I'm working on for a friend, that's kitbashed using the 30k and 40k kits, and I'm planning on painting it mid-transition, with a glowing line of "magic warp bullshit" dividing the two sections.

They don't get to the eye until being chased there after the siege of Terra, before that they just have to make do with whatever periwinkle, violet, or lavender they can scavenge.

From what I remember it seems that this happened after the casting of the Rubric when the remaining sorcerers began splitting up the Rubricae and forming their own sub factions. It's almost like the various sorcerors ended up treating their Rubricae like they just watched Fast and the Furious and caught the customization bug. In the Ahriman novels, at one point Aheiman steals some Rubricae from another sorcerer and the ones he steals are still in the original red scheme, while Ahriman's are blue.

Honestly not much this edition (ignoring the .pdf which has blatently broken poo poo). Only trap core units are the pathfinder and, arguably, the command rhino. Vindicators with cannons are not good, but they're also not without some useful edge cases

The PDFs seems pretty evenly split between units that are bonkers undercosted, or a bit overcosted, with a very narrow band of stuff in between.
