The models look great and the paint job is incredible but I still maintain that cult armies (and Tau T'au) don't remotely fit into 40k and instead look like they just came out of some new release of Mantic's Warpath game (which is rad and I would totally play if I could drag my friends into it)

GSC look like updated versions of the old rogue trader models and they're cool and good.

Option 1: It's about Dualism, and is a deep discussion on the nature of things and philosophy.

Option 2: It meant they only had to come up with half as many legion concepts

I was thinking about this and listing the analogues;

Ultramarines <-> Black Legion (Legio Generica)
Space Wolves <-> World Eaters (dogs of war)
Blood Angels <-> Emperor's Children (pretty n perfect)
Imperial Fists <-> Iron Warriors (grumpy builders)
Dark Angels <-> Alpha Legion (seeecrets)
Raven Guard <-> Night Lords (2 spoopy)
But then things get a bit tenuous.
Iron Hands <-> Death Guard (unstoppable?)
??? <-> Thousand Sons
White Scars <-> ???
??? <-> Word Bearers
Salamanders <-> ???

An argument could be made for Ultramarines <-> Word Bearers. Both are concerned with more what happens after the fighting is done, both follow a rulebook.

That's what I thought! So that totally explains it then. World Eater tacticals are just dudes who haven't been through the ritual lobotomies yet. (Haven't earned the honor yet)

I'm pretty sure all World Eaters have The Nails. Even their heavy weapons guys like Lheor "Don't Call Me Firefist" Ukris

Khorne talk; the Blood Pact, from Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts novels, are never specifically mentioned as being dedicated to Khorne, but are a great alternative to the "raving berserker" model of Khorne worship. They're brutal and viscous, but disciplined, with their structure deliberately modelled on the Imperial Guard, members of whom they sometimes subvert. Each member of the blood pact ritualistically scars their hands on the armour of their leader. Their specialists include snipers, infiltration teams, massed armour and warpcrafted weirdness. There's even a "blood witch" in one book who's basically a khornate sorcerer.

They look like they're in the same vein as the new Deathwatch, Rubric Marines and Plague Marines in that they're normal marines that are standing up straight and are a little taller.

I really wish they'd stop pretending that smol marines are a thing and just move to Primaris scale without bothering to explain anything

You people complaining about no Chaos Primaris are baffling to me.

No one in this thread is saying they want Chaos Primaris you dingus, more that new chaos marines (and imo all marines in general) should be Primaris scale. Yeah, not having them sculpted to look midway through a Power poo poo helps a lot, but the proportions are still slightly off, and too small compared to, eg, guard.

Gonna see if I can make one using the demo I linked to above. Just need to find a correctly-sized skull; the ones in the Citadel Skulls kit are a bit too small, I think. I need to practice with green stuff anyway, and if I gently caress it up I can just try again. (Anyone know where that chain he gets the skull from is from? Actually, if anybody has that kit, can anyone say whether those skulls are bigger than the ones from the Citadel Skulls kit or whether they're the same size and I'm just misjudging it?)

So here's what he looks like now with a better positioned, actually centered shoulder raven skull and an additional raven skull hanging off his belt next to his book (to cover up a rough spot from where I cut off the leg tube).





I think those shoulderpads are sitting a little low? The one on the gun arm specifically, it looks like it's floating off the underlying shoulder joint.
