But now most of the main guys you'd want in any Marines army is in plastic, and the prices are in some cases better than 40k models. https://www.warhammer.com/en-WW/shop/Space-Marines-Primaris-Intercessors-2020?queryID=f939a3263a9c53585c2bd1cb689f3ecb https://www.warhammer.com/en-WW/shop/horus-heresy-legion-astartes-mk3-tactical-squad-2023?queryID=9b75b6598f87f8a7f9fe070b8716f946

I'm not falling for those tricks again

Ghost Leviathan posted:I get the vibe he's just got a pretty well functioning fight-or-flight reflex and is also having to constantly calculate the risk of the threat in front of him vs behind him. Cain's alright but the series has kinda dragged-on with beating the "Cain claims to act cowardly but ends up saving the day; also Jurgen shoots someone with a meltagun" dead horse over and over. The first omnibus is great, though. Also all the Necron-perspective novels are dynamite.

I liked the ones with the pointy houndskull helmets. Also when they basically just had the dudes from Aliens and Judge Dredds as guys you could have.

Improbable Lobster posted:My favourite warhammer character is Ferrus Manus, primarch of the Iron Hands legion. Ferrus Manus, of course, means Iron Hand and the space marines of the legion/chapter replace their hands with iron bionics and follow his teachings, the Iron Creed. They're lead by the Iron Council, which is made up of 40 Iron Fathers and follow the are currently waging the Iron Crusade to save the Iron Guard of Mordia from chaos. Still can't really compare to the Space Wolves and their utter obsession with wolves. There's a reason a meme joke I read about them was saying something like "The best way to wolf a Space wolf is to wolf his wolf. But if he wolfs his wolf first, you are wolfed." Gripweed posted:Corvus Korax chased the Traitors into the Warp and may now be a giant crow Daemon And if he is, he's supposedly so good at it that Lorgar "I wanna worship SOMETHING and if dad won't let me I'll find someone else-Oops half legions go Chaos" Word Bearer (not his last name but I am not going to look it up) won't come out of his house because he's scared Corax will permakill him, or something.

Gripweed posted:You know you can go to a Warhammer store and get a free painting tutorial, right? Are those Arbites? I've never heard of an arbites army in 40k, that's interesting. Maybe they're for one of the other 40k rp tabletop things? They're the federal police, so they usually come up vs genestealer or chaos cults in citywide fighting, organizing the planetary defense forces.

They were made for Kill Team, the skirmish game, but have rules for running them basically as allies in any Imperial 40k army. But a rumor from rumor mongers with decent track records says there’s going to be an “Agents of the Imperium” Codex coming soon that lets you build Inquisitor or Rogue Trader armies, with Arbites being a part of that.

I know there's an element of very tongue in cheek metal maximalism to WH4K, which is cool, but not my cup of tea, but this totally is. Just lovely fash cops kicking gently caress out of cultists and juves in hellhole shittowns.

Necromunda has the Palantine Enforcers, who are the equivalent of a local precinct's SWAT team compared to the Arbites' "over-budgeted secret police" status:

Hollismason posted:I went to their website to look at all the new models and like 60% of them are like "Not available". it's so goddamned stupid. There's a secondary scalper's market now. They're plastic toy soldiers and you've got to cop them like they're a shoyoroll gi or a bottle of pappy. I'm sticking with 2nd edition oldhammer poo poo. I didn't have the money when I was a teenager to buy all of what I wanted, now I've got lawyer money and I can buy some old lead.
