Kinda wish they'd use the version with the corner filigree/indents, but these are still sick as hell.

I'm just happy the upgrade kits are mk4. So my horde of mk4 dudes will fit in. I really dig the helmets, I'll probably stick with my sculpted and casted shoulder pads though

Yeah its definitely up to how your group wants to interpret it. It's like what happened with Laser Destroyers 48" range and Sunder Shells for Thudd Guns. We get a new book (Admech) where a unit with the exact same wording gets updated bringing the other one into question. TLDR- FWs legendary editing team.

Lascannons aren't an option and you still only get two bombs/missiles. Makes sense as it would make it a bit OP if you got four krakens for 25 points :pcgaming:

Eh, those are pretty alright. I'm more excited about the special units, Magnus, and rules

The bottom left one in particular looks like someone squashed a ball of putty with the end of a tool and then made the three lines with their finger nail.

I take offense to this

Also, thanks for the kind words the last page about my dudes :shobon:

The shoulder pads aren't even right. The large fingers on the pointed star don't change directions enough times...

It's correct in the background of the release image for gods sake

I think the pose is supposed to capture the moment where he just touches down. He is still moving down and forward. You can see the rocks breaking under his left foot. I think the hair is fine .

Not my favorite of the primarch models; but certainly not the worst.

Here's some bad pictures of the Praetor I've been working on for my Thousand Sons. The paintjob is pretty washed out with the harsh lighting.






I used the Jon Blanche Magnus artwork for modeling inspiration


He wants to look like daddy :shobon:

You should havemake Hixson post painting guides for his thousand sons dudes as well.

I've been meaning to make a guide or two. I even have a blog (that I haven't posted to in over year). But guides are pretty :effort:

Once you get your EC going we should get the gang together and throw down

Also if you can't handle people critiquing your mans don't post your mans. SA is one of the only places on the internet where people will offer real criticism of your poo poo and not just tell you how good at painting you are

Wait so you're pointing to silver metallic paint with a pencil that you also use to create a metallic effect. Not confusing at all

After reading the last 250 posts in the 40k thread; I have a deep appreciation for how not hosed this game is. My 40k armies won't be leaving their cases for a while

Dude, fix your photo's white balance in GIMP or whatever software you're using for these. It would go a long way.

Also, your models look great as usual

Seems like the main (only) purpose of the Sicaran Venator is to shut down LOWs without having one of your own. E.g. when someone tries to ram a Typhon down your throat at 2k points, that's where the venator might shine.

Yep. Unsurprisingly its pretty awful when all there is to shoot at is rhinos and infantry

I've never read a book from Black Library except the Cain stuff. The bar for writing just doesn't seem high and the primarchs seem like super hero stories (which is cool if that's your thing)

Bulbasaur wrote up a bunch of league rules for us to run our campaign, it's fun. 30k is great at low points because every game turns into a meat grinder and I like that. It's boring to take all your models off the table on the first turn.

unless those models are adlance
