What's the Chapter that gets continuously poo poo on and has the worst luck. The Lamentors?

Don't they have barely enough marines to make a full company? It would be awesome if they recieved a boat load of Primaris Bigmars to fill them out and just eventually became an entire Chapter of kickass Bigmars through attrition.

Edit: poo poo, they're a Blood Angels successor Chapter, so would they be on the other side of the warp rift and unable to receive Bigmar reinforcement?

Seriously, if the Lamentors weren't literally the worst thing to paint (loving checkers and yellow armor) I'd go all in on a bigmar army of them.

Those dudes need a break. :glomp:

If they ever stop being bad I'll buy those sad sacks off you and give them their forever home before bolstering them with Primaris.

Well there goes my idea for a Lamenters Primaris army. Who's going to bolster their forces when they can't even be bothered to show up and help Baal agaisnt Hive Fleet Leviathan?

"Awsome. Great paintjob, realistic feeling, sci-fi setting. What makes it a solid 10, rather than a 9.5, is how this speaks in a way dioramas has never done before. Great, great job!"

What the gently caress.

For those of you who think this is not art, and who think this is way too heavy for the medium, think a little. Plenty of artists have paintings or sculptures that contain nudity, from the Michelangelo's statue of David to many of Picasso's works. Many artists also portray violent and horrible acts like Gentileschi's Judith Beheading Holofernes or Franciso Padrilla's Rape of Sabines. It is in the portrayal that these are still considered great art, they are not meant as 'cool' or 'funny' like some of you jackasses seem to think. It is meant as a thought provoking piece to make us second-guess what we do. The saddest thing to me is that if this was painted on canvas or done by one of the masters (van gogh, picasso, devinci), you wouldn't call it 'sick' or 'disgusting'. In fact, most of you would probably applaud it as a beautiful and controversial work of art. Please keep up this level of depth Nakatan!

Fully magnetized to deploy as Obelisk + C'tan or Tesseract Vault

That's looking sick as hell.

For a while I considered buying just the tran c'tan by itself off eBay but I could never find it from a seller at a cost that was ever worth it.

I really do not get the logic behind the scope on the new Bolt Rifles. I had originally just thought they were placed like that because of the scale of the sculpt or something but nope, the scope really is placed right behind the iron sights which blocks them entirely.

So what I'm gathering here is that 8th won't be faster because everyone currently plays Chaos and uses Obliterators and because of the new rules for them hams everywhere are going to be rolling zillions of dice.

Or is it that these rules for Random Everything Obliterators are subtle indicators that this kind of poo poo will be common to many units and thus will make 8th more of a slog than previous editions?

So do you measure from bases for weapons? It doesn't really even say. What about vehicles that don't have bases? Only the monolith as a rule about that.

I waited for the advanced rules to ask but uh... it doesn't say.

The Ghost Ark has the Hovering rule too where you measure ranges from the hull. Oddly the Doomsday Ark doesn't and neither does the Obilisk or Tess Vault.

Other than units with Hovering I'm assuming you always measure from the base, though.
