I'm p sure 30k only exists because they think there are lots of people mad about primaris and wanted to have an old school short marines game for them, so the pose choices probably reflect that mentality.

Is the Elimination Maniple Admech Box a good deal at 190 USD? My biggest issue with the box is that it has too many tracked guys but it might be a good way to get Belisarius? https://www.amazon.com/Warhammer-40...0BNJ32K96&psc=1

Al-Saqr posted:Is the Elimination Maniple Admech Box a good deal at 190 USD? My biggest issue with the box is that it has too many tracked guys but it might be a good way to get Belisarius? that costs just a bit more than 80% of msrp, so it's a good deal in that sense. the skitarii and the kataphrons (tracked guys) are the most useful models in the set atm, and the kataphrons usually go for $20 per. compared to buying those models on their own at the usual 15% discount, you're paying $40 USD for the robots and cawl. if you want one of those two, then it's worth it. if you really despise the kataphrons and consider them worthless, the box set isn't worth it even if you want everything else, but i'm not sure why you'd scorn cyborg tank servitors if you're interested in admech. e: amazon still has admech boarding patrols for $119, 15% off msrp, and they are a better value in addition to not having any bummer units. but, ofc, if you're looking for cawl then obviously they don't have him.

Cease to Hope posted:also it's another release that is not a troops unit with chainswords despite melee being the gimmick of like half the legions in 30K. i am gonna keep complaining about this because they had a unit like that and they loving discontinued it. If you're talking about despoilers they definitely still exist as an option. Unfortunately, right now they're sold as a set of expensive resin arms. They're compatible with both the mkVI and mkIII kits thanks to the little spare vambraces that come with the mkIII. Though we are getting a plastic melee weapon sprue in Spring 2024 according to the 30k roadmap. With how well the special and heavy weapon sets turned out I'm pretty excited to get that thing. I've been holding off on despoilers as a result.

Safety Factor posted:Assault marines are scoring troops in 30k and come in units of 10-20. Any legion can run up to 120 of the idiots if they really want to. my bad, i'm too used to thinking of assault squads as FA rather than troops. i was thinking of both despoilers and tac squads. the resin despoiler upgrades are a joke; it's cheaper to buy legionaries, blood claws, or assault intercessors just to cannibalize the arms. i knew about the still-fairly-far-off melee sprue (i think because you told me about it last time i complained, lol) but it still gripes my rear end because the old mk3 box came with chainswords and GW cancelled it before most stores could reorder it after selling out.

I’d also say if you really don’t like kataphrons stay away from admech for now since they’re the only halfway decent unit in the book and 100% of admech lists that want to be even mildly competitive run the full 18 of them. they’re a big crutch in a dumpster fire of an index.

Visited family and brought back a lot of my older mid 2000s-era stunties, some of which I'll probably strip and dismantle for bits, some others I'll repaint like my classic box dreadnaught. Overall they're better than I expected them to be, but a lot of these guys spent more than a decade dusting down in a store display, and I think the grime and dust has permanently set into the plastic These totally not ultramarines were a novamarine successor chapter that I called "Hoplites" or something. I think I even had a forum post on dakkadakka or some other ancient lore subforum where I had full backstory and everything. IIRC part of their gimmick was working closely with the tithed imperial guard regiments of their homeworld, the hoplon to the space marines proverbial spear or some nonsense like that. Exacto knife + terminator head = grey knight terminator helmet for cheap plus some other random duders. I was really into kitbashing stuff!  I remember being SO happy with this guy, but I definitely did NOT thin my paints   Kind of impressed that I managed to finagle a two-handed sword grip with what I assume to be a pistol hand, and it inspired me to try something similar with one of my new assault marines e: took some more pictures      Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Nov 19, 2023 |

I just finished assembling my first full resin miniatures - three Venatari Custodians. It went OK I think, but resin is a pain in the rear end to work with, and I don't understand why GW casts such small pieces. Worst of all, it's so fragile that I'm worried that if these models get so much as a nudge, they'll explode in a cloud of resin dust and crystallized superglue.

It still exists because it's popular; it got a big boost back in 7th edition with two plastic box sets that really helped get more people into the game. The big plastic push starting with the launch of 2.0 has been great too. There is definitely a grog element to it though, I'm not going to deny that. I'm one of them. Oh huh, I stand corrected!

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/11/19/sunday-preview-machine-vs-machine/ In a slight surprise, or an indication of GW's continuing supply issues, both the new Necron and AdMech codexes will go up for pre-order next weekend. Featuring probably one of the fast Reveal to Release turnarounds with the new Orikan model. More interestingly, we also have a pair of stand alone releases, with the previous Overlord and the Royal Warden getting their own releases. Both factions also get combat patrols and datacards obviously. Beyond that there's some Necromunda terrain, crawler tank and kill team mission & tac ops cards.

Well yeah that would be easy enough, but I also was hoping for something that wasn't so explicitly imperial. I might end up ordering one just to convert it up as a Hekaton for my Leagues though, so I think I might be incorporating some of the squat characters into my army anyways since I was looking to have more of a 'mining operation' vibe going on.
