I've been thinking long and hard about this. I'll probably break down and buy the new box, although I haven't played 30K since the start of quarantine.

I am undecided as to which Legion to build. Iron Hands, Ultras, and Space Woofs are contenders.

But I think there's an implication that it was punitive.

This is VERY heavily hinted in Prospero Burns.

A lot of my decision on legion is going to come down to what a friend of mine is picking. I wanted to pick UM but my friend is also considering picking them and I get the feeling UM mirror matches would be really boring.

Play Word Bearers.

I just can't decide if I should add Rogue Trader era armor graffiti or not.

How is this even a question?

I have read that sealing is not needed with laser printers? Should I seal anyway?

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.

Test scheme for Word Bearers:



I think it needs maybe a little hint of orange to brighten it up, and the black will definitely need some kind of highlight.

Also my camera situation is still dogshit.

I really like this.

I'm seriously considering building WBs myself; they've got such a great backstory and they can look really good.

Outside of Goonhammer, are there any other good websites, blogs, podcasts or youtubers for 30k content?
Would love to see more conversions, army list, battle reports etc etc

Age of Darkness is a very good podcast. It isn't as active as it used to be, but there's good stuff in the archives.

Imperial Fists are the poster boys of the new edition of 30K. They're also, frankly, bland.

Word Bearers - and Lorgar in particular - saw the writing on the wall (or, the tank's hull) and knew that the Imperium would become a hellish theocracy that worshiped the empire and. Unfortunately for them they saw it too soon and were damned for it. Plus, you can use the cool new Possessed as Gal Vorbak or conversion parts and Sisters of Battle bits (like books and torches) to dress up their vehicles.

Well being the poster boys for Rogue Trader and the 3rd edition Marine codex helps.

The BTs and Imperial Fists weren't in the old Rogue Trader book.

40k standard "black armor with edge highlights" can be boring, but the FW "oily greenish-black metal" is pretty interesting imo (though I have no idea how hard it is to accomplish in practice).

There's a really cool airbrush Iron Hands forged black tutorial here:

This makes me want to paint my Heresy box as Iron Hands.

Warcom has posted a pretty good article about solar aux heraldry today, primarily focused on Legion-affiliated regiments but providing some useful info about numbering schemes and markings for everyone who's survived historicals.
