Got 2 sets of the primaris, working on bashing one of the Captains with Pedro to make a Bigly Pedro. Also gonna make one of the intercessor squads sternguard. Converting monopose models should be fun.

Zuul the Cat posted:Mostly finished up the first of my Primaris Marines. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I imagine by the time i paint the last one they'll be perfect. How'd you do the shoulder emblem? I'm thinking of using instant mold to quick cast one of my resin pads and use that as a mold for green stuff emblems on the primaris. I actually cut one of the pads off of an intercessor and replaced it with a sculpted pad but no way I'm doing that for all of them.

Think I nailed down the blue and red for my Crimson Fists: I definitely wanted some green in the blue and this worked out really well after going through a half dozen different blues. I tried to keep the red relatively muted with just a bit of pop on the real sharp edges. I think I can paint my Primaris now.

SRM posted:Lookin pretty good. What blues are you using? I'm contemplating rebasing or just repainting the bases on my Crimson Fists to match my other models. Ended up with Reaper Solid Blue HD as basecoat, with a highlight of Winter Blue HD from above. I'd originally zenithaled but used a different blue before covering w/ Solid Blue so zenithal effect was lost. First highlight is VGC Hawk Turquoise and then a 2nd highlight on sharpest edges/corners of VGC Wolf Grey. The red is Reaper Crimson Red HD then layered after wash with Reaper Clotted Red and a smaller highlight of Carnage Red. Final highlight on the sharpest bits with VGC Hot Orange. Everything was washed (pin wash for armor, more of a glaze for the tabard) with a 1:1:1 mixture of wood, blue and red ink from Scale75, which I think helps unify the blue and red. I'll be painting up a full intercessor squad next and should be cool with all the additional details. Haven't decided yet if I want to do white or silver for the aquilas or a mix of both. Probably silver because I just think it looks cooler. Soldier o Fortune posted:Looks good! Just placed an order for those exact insignia today. Also have some instant mold coming in today and gonna see if I can make a mold from some of my sculpted resin pads (I have all the variations at this point) and use that on the primaris pads.

I hope the enhanced digital editions of the books get updated with the latest FAQ/errata, would be nice to have everything in one place and that seems like the huge advantage of digital media. Also would be great if they added new releases like the new primaris characters and reivers to the index.

Wouldn't trying to cheese with tiny units just get all those tiny units killed in turn 1 shooting (since you'd likely take longer to deploy) and give the enemy a poo poo ton of kill points?

Finished my first Primaris, pretty happy with the color choices overall (I wanted a greenish hue to my blue armor). Looking forward to fielding a full squad of these dudes in blue and red. I got some shapeways insignias for the shoulders so this is the only squad that will have the crappy greenstuff insignias, which I wasn't too keen on. Also, near the end I think I got overzealous with removing dust via bluetack and it started pulling paint off, which is a bummer. Gonna call it battle damage this time around.

Presumably we will have all these answers and more by end of the month come codex release. With how expensive, points-wise, the Primaris are already, can't say I'd want to pay 200 points for a single 10-man squad of intercessors unless they get some cool gear options.

Genghis Cohen posted:JoshTheStampede is right, the stratagem lets you go right after the first charging unit, not first overall. But I thought the example was going with the interpretation of having 3 separate squads of 3 reavers? Given that's the only way to play them at the moment. It doesn't really matter as of course once the codex drops, they will be taken in normal size units. The example is with a 10-man Reiver unit since GW's points PDF indicated that Reivers are taken in a unit of 5-10 models. The 3-man squad is just an 'easy build' thing.

Genghis Cohen posted:You are right, I misread that after hearing the chat about taking several small units to try and stack the morale debuff (which I doubt will stack; they've been careful to avoid such effects on other units) The core rules FAQ states that for effects granted to units within range of some other units, which is to say auras, similar effects don't stack but are granted once when one or more of the applicable units are in range.

The reivers rules also specify ultramarines rather than chapter. They seem quite specific for the starter kit that only has 2 3-man units on a tiny board where infiltrate would be ridiculous. I wouldn't expect these rules to bear a ton of relation to what ends up in the codex.

Started work on my gravis captain to Kantor conversion: I feel like the pose works better with a banner than a sword honestly, looks like he's rallying troops as is. Also replaced the feeble boltgun on top of the power fist with an actual storm bolter to read properly as Dorn's Arrow. I shaved off the hood and put the iron halo on the power pack but still not sure if I want to leave the gorget alone or trim it as well. Thoughts?

Once I wrap up my intercessors (hopefully Monday) I will get this guy and my new reivers done. The reivers are cool sculpts and I am super excited for the full kit. A bit bummed they're elites, was hoping they'd offer a second primaris troop option.

Dual plasma inceptors look fun. I like the aggressors, good use of the gravis armor look. Goofy grapple aside, the reivers look great, lots of cool poses. Edit: I think the posted aggressor box art was stretched, the aggressors in the community preview image look less lanky to my eyes. bonds0097 fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Jul 16, 2017 |

The Repulsor can carry up to 10 non-jump pack primaris or 5 gravis, cool. Inceptors get plasma. Reivers have deep-strike via grav chutes. They are gonna be terrifying, aren't they? Aggressors look awesome with tons of options. Also, they shoot twice if they don't move (including ow) and they can advance and shoot w/o penalty. I found this link easier for zooming and such: http://imgur.com/a/J8agS Also, looks like all the primaris units can be twice as big as we've seen and can be split into combat squads upon deployment. Also, Inceptors went from 8 PL to 10 and Hellblaster dropped from 12 to 8. I bet Intercessors get cheaper too. Primaris may end up being reasonably cost effective. bonds0097 fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jul 21, 2017 |

Pendent posted:It looks like Reivers come with a Bolt Carbine and combat knife by default. The carbine looks like an assault 2, 24" range ap0 bolter. Not bad at all- I think these guys are going to be some new favorites for me moving forward. No, they come equipped with a bolt carbine and heavy bolt pistol by default. They can swap the bolt carbine for a combat knife. e:f;b From the miniature showcase, it seems to imply that intercessors can take bolter variants like the auto bolt rifle. Uroboros posted:I am most curious about matched play points changes, and whether or not Intercessors still can't ride in normal transports, because that second part really is the prime reason never to take them. Marines who walk almost always die. They can ride in the repulsor at least.

So, the grappeling hooks seem interesting. You can either equip reivers with grav chutes or grappels (or both or neither I guess). The grappels allow you to move vertically without it counting against your move, which is cool and batman-esque. And they give a modified version of deepstrike (within 6" of board edge). EDIT: also, the mini showcase has the reivers w/ grav chutes all wearing skull helmets, while the datasheet has them un-helmeted, presumably indicating you'll have 2 head options per model? Which would be awesome if you wanted to repurpose the helmets for your custom SKULLFUCKERS chapter.

Well, the grappels seem like what you would take on shooty Reivers to get good LOS while grav chutes seem great for stabby ones to deep strike in and charge w/o overwatch. EDIT: Lots of cost changes. Devastators and Devastator Centurions are more expensive. Inceptors are more expensive. Hellblasters and Assault Centurions are cheaper. (All of this in PL, no clue about points). Intercessors have to be cheaper if Reivers, with all the cool poo poo they get, are only 5 PL for a 5-man squad. bonds0097 fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jul 21, 2017 |

The Bee posted:Alright, just so I can finish workshopping my horrible Grapnel plan; how much impact does vertical range have in this edition, again? I imagine it impacts melee and movement range normally, but does it effect shooting? In order to target a unit they have to be in Range (p. 179) and distances are always measured base-to-base (p. 176). So yes.
