Still a cool model even if it isn't a kilogram of pewter.

I've been using a Goff Rocker as a weirdboy ever since the model came out. His name is Petork Steele, from the band Type Ork Negative.

Are there any good sets of transfers specifically for Space Marine/ Terminator scripture? I feel like they really tie things together, but there's only so many of them on each of the SM sheets. Little Latin phrases or microscopic blocks of text look badass, but there's never enough to go around. They really sell the zealous nature of the Space Guys

All the Adepta Sororitas boxes come with transfer sheets that include blocks of scripture text. If you know anyone with an army, they may have some of them spare - you get more of them than you can easily find space for, especially because the Sister's models have a lot of sculpted detail so you aren't putting them on shoulder pads or anything.  You aren't going to use the Inquisition or Sisters stuff, but the blocks of text and capital letters are pretty unaffiliated, as are the eagles. If you're feeling wild you could try to combine the Argent Shroud and Valorous Heart sets into a Crux Terminatus symbol.

Ooh true. They know zealousness like no one else. I am specifically looking for white text, unfortunately. I'm surprised GW hasn't made any sheets exclusively for scripture stuff.

However the new Custodes Combat Patrol going up for reorder this week looks like it will be the best Combat Patrol yet. If you can find the old Combat Patrol in a shop, and combine it with the new Combat Patrol, then you're pretty close to a very effective 2k point army. The Auric Battleforce, also coming soon, also looks like a good deal, although it has a lot of bikes, which some people don't like.

If some friends and I wanted to get in to playing some Combat Patrol games, do I need anything other then the free core rules and the Combat Patrol rules for my army? Is there any reason to get the core book?

Cooked Auto posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/04/09/show-that-teamwork-rules-the-galaxy-in-new-adeptus-custodes-detachments/ My kokoro wish is that they use this codex to provide 40k rules for all the Sisters of Silence weirdos that have rules but not models in 30k (jetbikes, beast masters etc) and they FINALLY get models. But that is almost certainly not going to happen.

Not a huge fan of the 6" aura stuff. IMO one of the better things about 10th is how little of that there is. That said, seems like an interesting way to make Sisters viable. Also interesting to note that they said Shield Host, the current detachment, is basically getting a ground-up rework.

A combined Custodes & Sisters of Silence detachment was pretty obvious, but I didn't expect the entire thing to revolve around them having to pair up. This would be a nice opportunity to actually expand the Sister's model range. But, since all the rules key off just needing one Sister unit near a Custodes, I wonder if you could pull some BS bringing just the Sister of Silence HQ, and hiding her around or within the unit until you need to pop one of these stratagems.

Apparently there’s also a pure Sisters detachment? Which gives me a spark of treacherous hope, because they literally have one kit and it feels very weird to make an entire detachment for that one kit. This is why I care:

I'm kinda of surprised they got kept in the Custodes book with the Imperial Agents supposedly right around the corner. Though I guess they could still be there too, replacing the SoB as the main force of the Ordo Hereticus.

Embarrassed to post this after those extremely good models a few posts up, love the way they look, but whatever. Still learning to paint and create bases for simple models, currently working on a squad of stormboyz and having fun with the AK effects swamp stuff I gave him proper lips and went back over him with nuln oil and I think it looks okay, but I really like how taking a bit of wire and stuff worked with the swamp gel I also tried it with another stormboy, I think it is probably a bit too "busy" but still a slight improvement over nothing:

These are painted very well, but I can't get over how good those sister tanks are. Their aesthetics are intimidating in a way that is completely different from anything else in the Imperium as they should be. It's the way to show that they truly are something apart. It's a drat shame the Sisters tanks don't have any 40k rules, and they're much too large (and cool) to run as Rhinos.

We still don't know what Erinyes Jetbikes look like and I'm pretty close to just buying the Escher ones. They've got a similar aesthetic to the Aquisitor, but the wrong guns and converting the pilot seems like a nightmare. And goddamn you've got some good looking figures!

IMO the Sisters of Silence got shafted when the Custodes range of units got expanded previously and frankly the SoS deserve to be expanded on their own. That Kharon Pattern Acquisitor loving rules and the face of it absolutely reminds me of a mechanical Dune worm with its mouth closed. I'm still upset at how Jenetia Krole died, it was an absolutely bullshit death that GW gave her.

TehRedWheelbarrow posted:not to ignore this, your paint is decent. you need better lighting. Thanks friend! I really appreciate the feedback, nobody I know IRL cares so I’m mostly just winging it. It really buoys me to hear my color selections and paint thickness aren’t overwhelming bad I’ve definitely been struggling with mold lines, I have an exacto to trim things down + a bunch of files but I think I just get overeager or miss them until I’m actually painting. I’m also so clumsy even just assembling the fuckin things is half the struggle for me, I sliced my finger open and covered my bathroom in blood on Friday trying to assemble the insanely cool Kommando Grot model from the Kill Team. Right now I’m working on a squad of Nobz + finishing these stormboyz, and with the Nobz I’m trying bit painting for the first time. I’m gonna paint as many attachable parts as I can before gluing them together in the hope it’ll cut down on errant strokes, then customize their bases before putting them on to avoid getting stuff all over the feet. I never really considered that the like “regular” moldlines, the ones not related to bits of sprue stuck to things, could be minimized but now that you’ve said it I’m gonna try to sand things smooth after assembly and before painting in those little parts Really appreciate it!
