"At a moment's notice" may be pushing it. Those chapters all have protectorates and wars/defenses they are currently pursuing, and many cannot everything and book for Ultramar unless they are happy to let whole sectors get eaten by Tyranids, swamped with rowdy orks or socialized by the T'au.

Add in the vagaries of warp travel and it may be weeks, months or even years before significant reinforcemernts arrive. Unless the plot needs them to get there immediately, of course!

Space marines are ruled by honour, and the honour they hold most dear is their connection to their primarch if known. When the home world calls for aid, it isn't much of a choice.

Sorry about your sector mate, but we have bigger priorities. They would and do literally abandon their own worlds to defend the primarch's world.

It’s the reverse of the Russian equipment scam, where instead of moving one tank around and photographing it to pretend you didn’t sell the rest of the squadron, you paint dozens of tanks with the same markings and just avoid having them appear together so 40 tanks are just one on paper.

Part of the reason Space Marines are mythologized as being such incredible warriors is that ‘Brother Septimus’ has a service record of dozens of campaigns, thousands of confirmed kills, and numerous incredible feats because it’s actually 108 separate Marines all consolidated for paperwork deception.

Alpharian Economics.

Here's a fun thing to wonder about, how many Space Marines actually took part in the Seige of Terra on both sides?

That's easy, just one, Alpharius.

Or two if you count Omegon.

There's a similar interaction in the Eisenhorn series (I think) where everything almost goes wrong because of a single unexpected Chaos Marine.

And then they have stories about how the plucky average humans kill multiple chaos marines.

Good (?) news is it was kind of a sliding fall on a tray, and only about a dozen minis broke. The one true cost is a cool converted staff bit that has vanished, but for an army where everything has dainty aerials it wasn’t that bad. Also narrowly avoided taking out an unfinished Sylvaneth army on the way down, that part was actually a little miraculous honestly cuz I thought that poo poo was finished for sure looking at the mess.

Praise be to the Omnissiah.

Terminators - $65
Terminator Librarian - $38
Terminator Captain - $40 probably
Infernus Marines - $60?

Combat Patrol - $160

Seperate - $203

So I guess it's kinda a discount still

The mid tier starter set has everything but the librarian plus a whole bunch of nids for significantly less than the combat patrol. Even the high teir starter is not that much more than the combat patrol, has the lib, has the nids, plus some terrain.

That's great. Initially I disliked how the mouth is all plasma, I felt it made the jaw hard to read, but maybe look up how people make dripping blood effects, and do that but with your plasma colour, like it's drooling plasma from just shooting?

The youtube video algorithm is incredibly dumb.

I've clicked on the two paint thinning videos in the OP, the one poorhammer video linked in the page previously, and now my whole feed is at least half warhammer poo poo. I think I've watched around 10 paint tutorial videos, less than half of them were useful, and I don't think I want to see another one again.

Go to your watch history and remove stuff you don't want more of. Their algorithm is so desperate these days. Hey you watched 30 seconds of this before clicking off, have more.

I mean, at least through the first two books of HH, only Little Horus is described as looking like Horus.

I'm pretty sure Loken describes in book 1 that it's considered good fortune to look like dad in the Luna wolves, and that happens more often in the LW than normal. Little horus aximand was the spitting image of horus rather than just resembling him like most do.

The problem with lord solar is he actually looks like a heroic no nonsense commander leading from the front with enough ostentation to stand out but not too much that they look like a toff in love with their own legend.

None of that is what I think of when I think imperial guard.

Virtual Russian posted:

yeah, that is what I mean, digital sculpting is still very new, it isn't a GW problem. Most artists get carried away because you can do more detail, and that detail is much finer than what you can do with traditional methods.

A lot of artists making stuff for 3d printing do this, but I think it's because they're trying to make their preview images stand out, to make it look like they've put more effort in inscribing details than just called it a day at nicely rounded or flat armour.

Alright I need an 8"x10" rectangular base that is 4mm thick.

Any idea where I should look for this unorthodox base?

Buy a cheap photo frame and yoink the backboard?

e: 8x10 is a common size and the backing is usually about that thick mdf like stuff, though if on the cheaper end it might not be, and you'll have to tear off the stand. If you're passing by a framer ask if they have any broken or ones that were discarded. We had heaps of frame backs especially in bigger sizes, they were discarded occasionally for custom jobs and we built up a huge supply.

Now I'm wondering if GW sculpts have a skeleton rig that can be moved around for posing, then any weirdness in the joints fixed manually. It would make a lot of sense for Marines in particular.

They absolutely would have this. It's a core 3d modelling skill, hobbyists have made poseable marines 3d printing.
