At least the Angels both at least put up the front of organising themselves per the Codex Astartes. Yeah BT have unique units so I assume will also have their own codex.

I've noticed even in the UK the shipping is much more delayed. It used to be Rapid fast, where if I placed an order on Monday I'd probably have it by Wednesday. Now the delivery estimates are 48 hours to 9 days! Partly I think this is Royal Mail being bad but I actually think it's mostly warehouse issues. The manager in my local GW alluded to warehouse issues when I was in there last.

GW did a really good job not overtly sexualising them, so I think you are safe as long as you don't use conversions or third party models obviously intended to cater to the male gaze. The official models look like hardened warriors with dubious priorities regarding war vehicle design, which is as it should be.

Does anyone play 30k/Horus Heresy ITT? I’m giving serious thought to dipping a toe in but only if I can use my existing rhinos, predators, vindicators and land raider. I know there are Deimos pattern Horus heresy specific versions of some of these, just curious about how different they are and how likely the community is to frown upon that sort of thing.

Might be a question for the 30k thread if anything. But I think the answer depends on your opponent and how open they are when it comes to "proxies".

I can tell you that the 30k and 40k Rhinos are identical in footprint. I use a 30k one in my 40k World Eaters list and it never even occurred to me that someone might have an issue with it. We do have a dedicated 30k thread you can ask in as well.

The 9th ed. combat patrol isn't what the 10th ed. combat patrol list is. Safe bet is that with the codex a new CP box with the doomstalker etc. will come out, so I'm sure they're winding down production of the one with the airplane.

I know there are Deimos pattern Horus heresy specific versions of some of these, just curious about how different they are and how likely the community is to frown upon that sort of thing. As far as advice goes, the standard 40k predator loadouts are pretty good tank hunters (take lascannon sponsons with either turret). If you want something weirder, 30k has something like nine turret options for them which are covered by the two deimos kits. Land raiders are great delivery vehicles for melee elites and decent anti-tank in their own right. Demolisher cannon vindicators are in a weird spot right now, but I think they're pretty good in a squadron of three and they're only like 110 points a pop. They hit like trucks, but there's been some rejiggering of stats to where they aren't the anti-everything pie plate they were in older editions. Just need to pick your targets a bit. That said, I'm planning a full squadron of them myself so I'm not talking poo poo here. I love those things.

Curiously enough it comes from a bit about male interests and sexism.

She came back and absolutely demolished my 15 years trying to be an OK painter, and not only paints amazing looking models, but she really does smash them out quickly too. All while working full time as a manager in a care home. Her preferred faction? Death Guard. She loves painting all the gross stuff.

I liked the first HH book because it felt like Abnett was setting up a Greek tragedy where the Emperor couldn't tell Horus the truth about chaos without undermining his own goals, but that then led Horus to confront the fact that his spacedad was lying to his face which set up a feeling of rejection. But then the next author comes in and hams up Horus as a powerhungry mustache-twirling evil tyrant. I don't think they ever settled on any core theme within the writing team.

I think a lot of the HH books set this up, but some others also add supplementary reasons for each primarch behaving the ways they do. I fall back a lot to the 'you created me, am I a person or an instrument of your will' tension that each primarch has at one point or another with the emperor, but that's more my own interests showing up in the work. I think it's great that there are so many books / perspectives / writing styles because it gives each reader a chance to form their own relationship with the material, which is very 40k.

Specifically I feel like there's less of a focus on the corrupting influence of chaos than there should be. Like chaos marines are often talked about like they wanted to be powerful in a certain way and took a deal with chaos that made them more powerful in that way, like it was a fairly rational choice to them because of how hosed up they were in the first place. I think it works better when it's plain that despite how hosed up they were to begin with, they never would have taken this deal were they not made to want it after being driven insane by chaos.

Lorgar is like the most moustache twillrling chaos villain that isn't Erebus and the HH novels definetly made him more dimensional than "he's a bad guy, ain't it?". He's spiteful, mercurial, petulant, and arrogant, but he also has father issues and sort of had a point about the emperor lying and the chaos gods being, well, gods. Lorgar is treated like poo poo by all his brothers so part of you starts feeling sympathy tic and then BAM he gets the upper hand and he's a spiteful gloating dick head. Angron being a blood thirsty lunatic but with a tragic past is also excellent. His speech when he confronts Guilliman is absolutely top tier book moments.

The whole point of Chaos is that anyone is vulnerable to it. The only truly Chaos resistant humans, as a group, are either hypnotically indoctrinated (space marines) or literal religious zealots (sisters and also black templars)
