Also a lot of planets are blasted hell-holes with one or two hive cites, each with the population of a small country.

If I were super independently wealthy and had nothing but free time I would want to construct a Genestealer Cults army that's all kitbashed together to represent a non-GSC plain old non-chaos non-xenos mass uprising on an Imperial world against Imperial governance.

Necromunda gangers work really well for this, just fyi

I asked this in the painting thread, but does anyone have any space Sicarian Ruststalker heads (the dome ones that look like Pit Droid heads) spare to buy or trade? I have a constant need for them and they're starting to get hard to find on ebay and bits sites.

Is there a place I can get feedback and suggestions for how to improve? There is a painting thread in this forum, but it seems to mostly be really experienced painters sharing their work, and I'm wondering if there's a better place to discuss basics.

Seconding the mini painting thread, those same experienced painters are happy to help out.

loving hell, I have assembled a single Sister of Silence from the Adeptus Custodes boxed set, and I feel exhausted. This reinforces why I decided to go for a low model count army. Am I the only one who finds assembly much more tiresome than painting? Especially with the extremely small parts that GW has become so fond of using.

I love assembling things, but my idea of assembly is "what things in my bits box will go together to make weird little guys"

the Cawdor sprue is really nice for conversions, there's only a few ridiculous things about it and it's mainly one of the sculpts where you have to glue a single leg to the torso.

ust lol that they're like "no you're not getting Fulgrim rules for 40K" though the wording is "this model isn't getting rules" so it's still possible they'll release a plastic version much later.

I might sound like a buzzkill but despite that Fulgrim model looking super cool it also looks incredibly fragile i would be scared of breathing on it let alone playing with it.

nah you're right, it looks like a nightmare to transport. also it's resin, which sucks to work with. beautiful model but full of red flags. so perfect for Fulgrim.

Things that would be cool for World Eaters to have:

- A medium-to-short range heavy weapons squad designed around getting close to big armoured things to blow them up

EDIT:
- Terminators

World Eaters should lean on the whole gladiator concept, so give some of them nets and tridents to throw around, offer some demonic lions to pal around with, maybe add some charioteers, and create some Murmillo Terminators a la Bioshock.

This is the funniest option so I choose to believe it's true. None of the Voltann have ever seen a stag, it's just something the Ancestor Cores spit out iconography of, so they just assume it's some mythical beast

Got to test drive a Norn Emissary last night alongside an assimilation swarm list





Sadly I didn't win, but the game was a solid learning experience. In particular I found out that DG are pretty scary, and not to underestimate their many anti-infantry weapons when I'm running an infantry-heavy list that relies on units not getting wiped out to regenerate! I definitely have a better idea how to play into them next time.

The norn and zoanthropes did great; holding the centre objective and being really tought to shift while also fighting through some terrible shooting phase rolls to still kill Morty.

I love how happy the aquarium plants look in the middle of a battle between horrible disease monsters and endless chittering bugs :allears:

Could you post a pic?

Actually I misremembered; the mini I was thinking of used 8 kits, but only 1 was strictly monopose.



- Skitarii Vanguard (head, legs)
- Orlock Gangers (pistol arm)
- Intercessors (pouches, shield)
- Corvus Cabal (claw arm)
- Genestealer Cult Neophyte Hybrids (torso)
- Cawdor Gangers (belt bits)
- Necron Immortals (backpack)
- Unknown (blanket roll)

He's a bit different from my other weird little guys as there's less Cawdor in there - usually they're at least the upper torso or legs.

I have no proof of this outside of what the books ended up being but I feel like the idea of there being a "writing team" at all is probably wishful thinking. I'd love to be wrong though.

There's definitely a Heresy collab channel of some kind, and there might also be an inner and outer circle thing going on with the "core" writers, but I don't have a source for that last part.

Their influencer program consists of people with big instagram accounts and/or big youtubes and/or websites like goonhammer. I'm not aware of a single point of contact if you wanted to try and email them with your pitch. Honestly I think there is no way they sponsor a WH club, especially since you don't have an angle like "teaching orphaned kids with cancer to play 40K".

Just like my opinion before bed though :)

A friend of mine makes youtube boardgame reviews, his channel isn't all that big but GW keep sending him poo poo (usually the release box sets or the "this game is an excuse to sell miniatures" boxed games), despite him telling them "hey that's outside the scope of my channel", so I guess what I'm saying is start a new job as a youtuber

Honestly? This doesn't look too bad as base coats. Basically do what Tangy Zizzle said next. Hit it with some washes, then go over it again in the base coat, leaving the darker shade in the recesses, then you can decide how to move on from there.

So, I love the idea of traitor loyalists as much as the next space marine fanboy, but I don’t think any chapter has ever actually been canonically confirmed as using traitor legion gene seed. Maybe the Silver Skulls? I vaguely remember reading something from ADB talking about how the fans love speculating but in actuality chapters using traitor gene seed would be considered horrific and heretical by even the weirdest marines, and irl the authors consider it a hack way to make a chapter interesting.

The guy who made Sons of the Phoenix is on record saying they have Dorn genes, iirc.

Yeah it's all just fun fan speculation. Personally I like the idea because it's a very hypocritical but realistic thing for the Imperium to do, and also means that turning to chaos isn't a genetic trait that the traitor legions couldn't escape. They dammned themselves.

Also the Sons of the Phoenix are extremely funny if they are actually built from Emperor's Children DNA, it's Cawl just daring someone to say something

The Detolf is no longer being made so if you want some do so before they run out

The replacement is the BLÅLIDEN, but it's a bit smaller, only comes with three shelves and there isn't really any after-market extra shelving options. I'm actually waiting for some screws and rubber stops from Ikea so I can test an additional shelf solution made from 3D printed brackets and perspex shelves.
