If you add Alexis Polux from FW to your Crimson Fists (he’s their first chapter master), you could reasonably claim them to be just after the First Founding, which isn’t too removed from the Heresy itself.

Yeah. Resin moulds are made of rubber, and can flex, so resin studded pauldrons can have perfectly hemispherical studs even if the pauldron is cast in one piece. But the stainless steel they use to cast styrene plastic for the plastic kits is rigid, and so’s the plastic, so both side of the clamshell mould have to separate cleanly with no undercutting.

If you look at studded plastic pauldrons on the current tactical 40K kits or the old plastic mark IVs, you’ll see that the studs in the center of the pads are hemispherical, but as you get closer to the edge, they become pill-shaped, because the casting process can’t create a space between where the underside of the hemisphere would be and the outer curve of the pauldron. These studded pauldron are cast in two pieces so the studs can be hemispheres.

the Night Lord trilogy written by ADB is some of the best Warhammer fiction in existence.

Do we have any idea on if little boxes are going to be released alongside the new big box? I'd want to do a kill team of Mk 6s but I don't think I want a whole army of them.

That can’t be pre discount, can it? It works out to $234. Which even if it is post discount is still a great price.

I'm interested to see what the ameribucks price is because I thought they said "under $300" and Ash Wastes was $300

Please respect the death of the 2nd and 11th legions. They aren't the samurai legion and anime legion.

"Interesting piece and lot's of interesting and credible theories there! I have no more idea than anyone else what the truth of the matter is, of course. The backstory has certainly evolved and acquired some mass of detail since I first drew up that list of Space Marine Chapters and their Primarchs. I'm not really familiar with a lot of that material either, but it's nice to know that the spirit of the thing has been preserved and even nurtured. I will make just one observation - and it's about the intent of the missing legions - where I think GW have perhaps taken a slightly different tack than I had in mind. Not that this matters of course, and I appreciate that in creating a series of books about the Heresy a lot of things I always intended to be unknowable or semi-mythical had to be addressed directly; something I could never have foreseen when I wrote Rogue Trader. The intent is this: that the removal of records and obliteration of the memory of these Lost Legions was not a punishment but a reward - rather than being purged they were being absolved - and this was based on the assumption they had done something utterly terrible (naturally!) but then done something equally positive to earn redemption. Or think of it as a stain that cannot be erased except by extinction. The Chaos Chapters are unforgiven - out and out bad guys - but the Lost Legions, whatever their deeds, have been forgiven and the stain upon their reputation erased with their memory. At least that was the idea... but times change don't they "

It was difficult to suppress the classic Crimson Fists urge accompanying 40 beakies in a box.

I mean they're also pretty close to the Crimson Fists colour scheme, right down to having literal crimson fists in some cases...

I've been wracking my brain, but the only Night Lords graffiti that I can come up with that hasn't already been said is "Your face here" and "Organ Grinder". Apologies if someone else said those already and I just overlooked them.

Which would also work as NL armour graffiti, especially if you give the mini in question the pointing Mk III Lightning Claw.

Make sure to spray seal your decals after you print them! It basically the difference between success and an annoying failure.

Cessna posted:

You should probably put a layer of some sort of varnish over ANY decal, even if only to keep it from being damaged by handling.
