Yeah, it's complete bullshit, it's just a bunch of random poo poo from the 9th Edition Codex, nonsensical wishlisting, ratlings in a Scions combat patrol, the Dorn already has Squadron and then 20 man Elysian squads? Really? No, it's just made up nonsense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBf-Nwhm3KQ Today I learned that DragonForce released a track called Space Marine Corps recently. Here's the opening lyrics: quote:Hail to the emperor and hail the high lords There's even a Blood Ravens namedrop in there and a mention of Primaris Marines. Not gonna lie, the song is really weak but it's hilarious to see the 40k references worn on its sleeve.

Like everybody knows about Bolt Throwers these days.  You can't be into 40k without knowing about them, because they will invariably be brought up at some point.

I only heard of them because it got mentioned once in a Sam Lenz video. And that is all I know about them.

My probably unrealistic wish is that the model has bits to build it as WE/EC too...

Were Tyranid Gargoyles updated to a new model in the recent codex release? Got some people saying they were but my old models match what is pictured on the GW store still and a quick googling around makes it seem like they have the same model they've had for a long time. I don't see any images of a before/after that shows any significant changes like there is for Termagants, as an example.

I'm building an extra brood right now and the models are identical to the ones I got in 2001.

I was not even aware of what the hell a Tyranid was in 2001, but very much remember everyone demanding plastic gargoyles to match the current aesthetic when I was walking the tightrope of being a cheerleader, but also loving space barbies. Then there being plastic gargoyles in the big reveal of Nids. 2001 would have been 3rd ed or maaaaybe 2nd metals I think? Definitely not the plastic fellas of today. soviet elsa fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Mar 19, 2024 |

2001 was the big Jes Goodwin Tyranid Aesthetic Revamp. Everything got redone into the more unified aesthetic we recognize today, more or less. The Hive Tyrant looked like a Xenomorph Queen and the then-new Raveners were divisive but there were definitely new metal gargoyles. Plastic gargoyles came later but I don't think they changed the look too much. I know because I was a high school nerd at the time and my English teacher caught me checking out the gaunt builder program on the class computer, then dryly, but disappointed in my lack of attention to the assignment, said "well hormagaunt makes sense since hormiga is Spanish for ant"

so ive got ~1400 points of old admech+an imperial knight and i'm interested in how to best go about converting that into a functional 2000-point list it's tech priest dominus squad of 10 skitarii rangers squad of 5 sicarian infiltrators squad of 3 kataphron destroyers (all grav-cannon+flamer) squad of 2 kastelan robots+datasmith sydonian dragoon (radium jezzail) squad of 2 ironstrider balistarii (both lascannon) onager dunecrawler (neutron laser) callidus assassin knight warden (avenger gatling cannon, reaper chainsword, ironstorm missile pod) I don't have any of the sprues anymore so unless i buy more of the same model and use the extras the weapons they have are the ones they're stuck with. what do you figure you'd add to this to make it 2000 points+decent? Back when i last played this i leaned on the knight heavily because it absolutely loving shredded 1-wound space marines. i figure it still does something similar but i'd like the whole army to be a bit more functional sharkmafia fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Mar 19, 2024 |

CSM metal lord was also noteworthy for its versatility, with two melee weapons, two ranged weapons, two bodies, and two backpacks, all interchangeable. i don't remember ever seeing that cool-rear end lord model you linked though!

Tau get really powered up in turn 3, so I’d hope for first turn and hit them as hard as you can to remove their biggest threats before that. Don’t walk straight out of cover without a plan or anything, but if you turtle up, they’re mobile enough to move around and just annihilate you. Idk anything about playing daemons though.

  there wasn't actually a generic terminator sorcerer model of any sort until the plastic kit; prior to that it was just something you'd convert as you saw fit (and judging from the relevant era of golden demon entries, you'd probably go for abbadon as the base material)

That's basically it. You cripple them in the first two turns enough that they can't come back after that. Watch out for the unit with Exemplar of the Kauyon, and you're good for turn 2.

First reveal is two Chaos Space Marine Lords, on one foot and one with jump pack. And either gets their own Battle force box. Which is new. CSM also gets eight detachments. The blog entry already up: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/21/adepticon-2024-chaos-space-marines-on-the-warpath/

Looks like they just imported the Start Collecting Slaves to Darkness AoS knights into 40k for the standing lord. I'm here for it though, those had some fantastic designs. The jump pack lord looks like if the old Raptor kit and Haarken Worldclaimer had a baby.
