What are the other alternatives? I'd rather not support BattleScribe if I can help it but I'll need to move off the GW app at the end of the month.

What's wrong with BattleScribe?

It was dumb from a lore perspective as well. The men of the Grey Knights could use the purity of the Sisters' blood better than they could.

Also the obvious overtone that sisters were more valuable as a temporary buff than as combatants. Or as people.


S.J. posted:

The entire thing was written like the Grey Knights were murdering innocent virgins to bathe in their blood in order to protect themselves from demons and it was extremely gross and weird in-universe and meta textually

Agreed on both counts, I'm just partial to the Imperium being extremely hosed up and representing hopeless fanaticism and patriarchy.

Yeah I'm torn on the issue because on one hand I can separate fiction from reality in the same way that I enjoy horror movies, but it's gross to think that disgusting people are getting kicks from genuinely aligning with the worst aspects of it. It just so happens that, like horror, I find the most hosed up aspects to be fascinating parts of the setting. :shrug:

I've always thought it was a huge mistake to try to humanize chaos followers and make them into tragically misguided figures, rather than purely evil and insane people twisted by forces beyond their control.

Sherbert Hoover

Specifically I feel like there's less of a focus on the corrupting influence of chaos than there should be. Like chaos marines are often talked about like they wanted to be powerful in a certain way and took a deal with chaos that made them more powerful in that way, like it was a fairly rational choice to them because of how hosed up they were in the first place. I think it works better when it's plain that despite how hosed up they were to begin with, they never would have taken this deal were they not made to want it after being driven insane by chaos.

Is there a good way to get models off their base so I can rebase them? Mine are really glued on there with Tamiya and I tried working an x-acto knife under their soles but I don't think I can do it without mangling them.

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:

If you don't mind destroying the old base you can always use snips to just cut through the old base around where the models feet are. I had some old Assault on Black Reach Terminators I've been working on repurposing for 30k where I did that. You can put the models in the freezer (as long as the were originally assembled with some variety of super glue instead of plastic glue) to make the old bonds more brittle as well.

Anything I can do to get the glued on portion of the base under their feet off or do they just have lifts at that point?

Get a set of these, they are really useful and I've used them to cleanly separate plastic models from bases, clean up resin models, the works. If you need to cut through models / bases / whatever and can't use your snippers these things are incredible.

I've used other x-acto-style saw blades before and these things are so much sharper than everything else.

I got most of the base layers done on my canoness. I wanted to show off how a different head, arms, and facing can change the canoness from the combat patrol box, who I always thought was a bit stiff.

Is there any reason to play an obscure successor chapter like Flesh Tearers or a Dark Angels successor? Seems like there's lots of cool fluff opportunities and the ability to choose a better paint scheme, but are they just using their chapters rules without access to the special characters or what?

I'm p sure 30k only exists because they think there are lots of people mad about primaris and wanted to have an old school short marines game for them, so the pose choices probably reflect that mentality.

Safety Factor posted:

30k's been an official game since like 2012. It predates the primaris range by a lot. It still exists because it's popular; it got a big boost back in 7th edition with two plastic box sets that really helped get more people into the game. The big plastic push starting with the launch of 2.0 has been great too. There is definitely a grog element to it though, I'm not going to deny that. I'm one of them.

Oh huh, I stand corrected!

That post raging about the Guard being a boring faction completely ignores all the amazing characterful troops they have access too.

It ignores how the Guard have Ogryns and Nork fuckin Deddog.

It ignores how the Guard have Ratling Snipers.

It ignores how the Guard have Sentinel Walkers.

It ignores how the Guard have Elysian Drop Troopers who aren't in 10th I think, but are still rad as hell.

It ignores how the Guard have Attilan Rough Riders.

And it gnores how the Guard have motherfucking Sly Marbo.

The Guard are an awesome faction.

I think that post was less about the Guard not having cool units and more that the lore makes it seem like they are disposable cannon fodder thrown by the trillions into trenches to fight gods, which is awesome but not really a reflection of the reality on the tabletop.
