Some of us got deeply invested into DE before we learned that everytime DE get a cool new trick CWE get it right after and better.
DE are the equivalent of DA in 6th, and BA in 7th we are the test codex for the real codex.
>>44955087
What's the story with these guys? Are they just a missing legion lost in the warp or something/
>>44955164
I cant recall the fluff completely, but thats the jist of it, they're basically all Lupen
>>44955164
Basically yeah. They pop out every now and then to help out their best buddies but as far as the space wolves are concerned they're dead and not to be spoken about. On their runic wheel of great companies the 13th rune was replaced with a black onyx one.
>>44955164
They've got an index astartes article. And some fluff in the Eye of Terror book.
cliff notes:
>russ sent a great company to go and kill the traitors
>they show up during the 13th black crusade because they're chasing abaddon out of the eye
>werewolves and scavenged traitor gear
>>44955164
Some space wolves can continue their changes even after they become full astartes due the canis helix, they basically become space marines lycanthropes, with all the benefits, most of them went to the eye of terror with Leman Russ when he went missing, also don't let their appearance device you, they are still capable of reasoning, wielding weapons, armor and speak, you'll need some special circumstances to go into a full werewolf killing spree.
Reminder that GW actually put this out as a bundle.
>>44955298
Well I'm getting ready to play in an ITC Tournament this Sunday. 1,850points!
>>44955069
But then your gaunt babies will be homeless!!
>>44955329
Good luck, have fun. Mind to share your list?
>>44955164
The 13th company in particular were MIA after they followed the fleeing thousand sons through a portal.
Sometimes the remnant of the company will help Imperial armies in the eye of terror.
>>44955334
Mommy Tervigon and daddy Swarmlord can take care of them.

>my plastic cement will not arrive until next thrusday
>somehow 2 day shipping turned into 2 week shipping
how do I resist the temptation to just use superglue instead?
>>44955485
I've done it, as long as you dont glop it it'll be fine
>>44955485
>Ordering plastic glue online
Do you live in fucking siberia or something?
Theres like 8 places in my town alone where I can get plastic glue
>>44955512
I live near two hardware stores and neither carry it.
The nearest FLGS is an hour and a half away. I figured since I have free 2 day shipping I'd just order some along with a fresh supply of plastic.
According to fedex the plastic is in a town 90 miles away and will take nearly a week to arrive (are they delivering on foot?). They say it will take a long time due to bad weather on the opposite coast of the country.
>>44955504
Yeah I think so. It's a real blocker on all the other stuff I want to do.
>>44955588
As silly as it also sounds, if at some point you want to swap a weapon its very easy to snap arms off lol
>>44955622
I have magnets and a dremel to do that properly
>>44955298
The worst part is GW 'bundles' are literally the same price for the same models, I guess with the huge convenience of one click instead of three.
>>44955668
The best part is that 2 of the 3 are arguably the worst units in their slots.
>Leman Russ is the worst primarch
>Ultramarines are the best chapter
>Tau are glorious good guys
>Eldar are more Japanese that Tau
>Matt Ward was a good writer
>Newcrons are better than Oldcrons
>Abbaddon is a success
>Imperial Guard is useless
>Be'Lakor is stronger than the Chaos Gods
>Lorgar is the best traitor primarch
>Black Templars worship the Emperor as a God
>Dark Angels are closeted traitors
>>44955687
No the best part is that the Gorkanaut is not an assault vehicle, meaning that if you were actually conned into buying this bundle and running it the way it is suggested to, you'd jump out with your Warboss and Nob squad then stand there looking silly for a turn getting shot at.
>>44955753
That still triggers me
>>44955753
Its a totally unnecessary unit. It tried to fill the gap between a deff dread and a stompa, but the Mega dred already existed. Its a transport that isnt assault, which is useless to orks. If it were
>Superheavy
>stayed the same price
>Couldnt stomp
>got Assault
>Upped the cap to 10
THEN it might be worth a damn. Better give it some kind of bs3 upgrade though, and up the deffstorm to assault 20 TL with rending
>>44955813
I agree with all of that whole heartedly
How is a drop pod assault army in the current edition?
>>44955891
Great. Top tier if you take two pods, fill them with devastators then also bring a couple of units of assault marines as well.
>Start Collecting! Daemons of Nurgle/Khorne
Whew, when did these happen? Have the formation bonuses been leaked yet?
>>44956011
I think they're for AoS, right?
>>44956011
They're for AoS.
>>44956016
Surely even Geedubs wouldnt actively avoid sales by not making it available for both their best-selling game and the heavily-marketed abortion?
>>44956016
>>44956017
...but demons use the same models in both games. What's the issue?
>>44956052
The formations he was asking about.
>>44956052
But they want you to play AoS.
>>44955813
See this weapon? It's from a FW super-heavy ork tank, the Kill Blasta. Looks kind of similar to the Deffstorm doesn't it. And we could have gotten that. But no. Apparently that would be too much.
What really, really annoys me about the Deffstorm is that it has 18 barrels. Which means almost every time it shoots, some of those barrels do nothing. It just doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. Now, with the Gigashoota's statline, NOW it makes sense. But we can't have nice things.
I'm actually reading through the Ork White Dwarves that accompanied the Ork codex release, and I'm just being consumed by rage. The things the WD crew are saying...
>>44956064
But even if they gave me free AoS models I wouldn't play AoS.
Man I would love if my scarabs had infiltrate. Right now their primary purpose is to act as a ordinance magnet instead of the largest blob of warriors.
>>44956064
I really wanted to like AoS, but I could not
>What I liked
Stream-lined rules
Free rules
Battleshock over 40k Morale
The quality of the new model ranges
really bold attempt at pointsless system
their fearless approach to rebooting their whole product line
>What I did not like
the design of many the new models
some ambiguity in rules
not enough variation between units or armies - in part due to how their stat line works it really only well represents roughly similar units.
their really bold attempt didn't quite work, not to mention the community WAS NOT ready for such a bold change. They needed more focus on their sudden death rules and asymmetrical objectives.
>What I was sort of neutral about
The clusterfuck that happens in every AoS game. On paper I think it is interesting actually. The clusterfuck is going to happen and you spend the early game trying to ensure it is on favorable terms and the late game picking up the pieces and going for objectives. In practice it happens pretty soon and you just roll dice until someone wins.
>>44956128
I know that, you know that, the poor FLGS managers sitting on unsellable AoS starter sets know that, the middle GW managers weeping over having to devote shelf space to this dreck know that, but GW's high echelons don't know it.
>>44956143
if the sigmarines and bloodreavers weren't such an awkward scale I would have bought a box for conversions
What are some good tactics to use against herlequins? I play Guard and Tau fyi
>>44956122
It's not the first nor will it be the last time rotary guns don't get enough shots. Shit even assault cannons, one of the most iconic space marine ranged weapons, only has 4 shots compared to its six barrels.
>>44956169
Shoot them. Don't get assaulted.
>>44956169
>>44956143
Are there some diehard fans out there still playing last edition Warhammer Fantasy Battle?
I really hope so.
>>44956202
Most still are
My club wasn't changed at all by AoS
>>44956202
got asked to stop playing it at a GW, so we literally just went over the road and finished the game as it was.
>>44956247
Wow, what fags
This attitude needs to lose them customers
This shitty new game needs to lose them money
>>44956271
Saddest part is that it's not a shop manager decision but one from higher up. The guy just didn't want to get fired and must've felt awkward as shit.
Where the hell is my nid update?! We are in q1!
Are 20 regular dudes, a chimera transport and a enforcer a good start for a renegades and heretics army?
Where do Heavy Burst Cannon Riptides fall on the bullshit list? Would taking two of them make me an asshole in a 2000 point game? No ghostkeel or Stormsurges.
I just want to take more crisis suits but all of the crisis suit formations force a riptide.
>>44956332
As long as you do not act like a biggot and field only OP units then I just go for it
>>44956362
Not sure where OP stands anymore for Tau. I like the Dawn Blade Contingent since it's somewhat tactical and lets me play non-gunline Tau.
Right now I have the Retaliation Cadre with a Heavy Burst cannon riptide, a Fusion blade commander standing in for Farsight, a fusion blaster squad of 3, a plasma squad of 3 and a cyclic ion blaster team. With 1 missile broadside. For my Auxiliary I have a Ranged Support cadre with homing beacon drone pathfinder squads and 3 missile riptides.
>>44956384
missile broadsides, not riptides*
>>44955687
In that one it's 3 of 3, as 'eavy armour warbosses are, well better than no armour war-bosses, but that's it.
>>44956308
Any day now, brother. Just keep making your nightly offerings and we'll have to get recognized eventually.
Seriously, though, isn't Q1 January-March? If that's true, we could have 2 more months to wait. And that's assuming the rumors are true :(
The update has to come at some point?
So I was hanging out at the shop today socially painting and was asked to set up the terrain as an impartial third party. (Short 16 y.o Necron player and mid twenties ultramarines) They already had a ton of pieces set out they wanted to use so I just shuffled it up and put three or four pieces per tile. (Is this common because for some unknown reason it seems like tradition at this place). Anyway the paint station is in the retail half of the store and the other half, pretty well cut off, are the tables.
Anyway they start deploying and apparently Necrons had a great turn one and the Ultramarines player misapplied a drop pod off the table. So the SM player starts spreging out. He started getting super salty and going so far as to start questioning the lay out of the board. I entertained him once and walked over and he asked what I was thinking putting two buildings on one side close but the other side had them as a corner (L). I just asked if they rolled for deployment and if he lost his seize the initiative and timid Necron guy says yes so i just try and tell him to chill and hurry back to my pallet.
Necron turn two apparently took out the whole cent star and the guy is seething now and cussing each good roll the kid makes. I am pretty new around there but I go up to the clerk and ask if that's normal and he says:
>Thats X, he is the only person like that who comes around like that. He won't hurt anyone.
I was casual about it but in my head was kind of wtf. It is a business and he is twice that kids size.
Anyway after an abysmal turn two for I'M he very vocally concedes and hurry out the store.(these two turns took about an hour and a half after I set up terrain.)
I got over to the table and the Necron army was still on the table so we chatted and played a smaller point game with my Dark Angels.
I was just thinking what /tg/ thought about these kind of situations?
I regret not taking a more aggressive stance though the kid could have stopped playing.
>>44956384
You could just not use formations
>>44956410
I'm super non-confrontational, so in situations like that, I just make sure to congratulate the winning/new players. Like, "Wow, you did really well," or, "How'd you do all that damage so quick?" etc.. Doesn't have to be sincere, but just make the winner feel good about winning and not like a lucky asshole like the sore loser wants them to.
>>44956410
>Anyway you need better transitions
If that's true I think you handled it maturely, however maturity isn't always as satisfying as making blueberry jam out of his Space Marine.Fuck the shit out of that faggot though
>>44956400
I haven't heard anything solid that would point to a Nid release in well, anything. Lady Atia and Sad Panda have both indicated that the next release is Space Wolves, with the Wulfen returning, and this has been almost certainly confirmed by the teaser from next week's White Dwarf: "After 10,000 years the lost brothers return".
After that is anyone's guess. Sad Panda has said that Chaos will get something Tzeentch related this year, but no codex.
The only snippet for Nids has been the possible release of a Genestealer Cult board game, but news about that has died off recently.
I mean sorry, as an Ork I know your pain. We have an older and less functional codex than the SpaceYiffs and yet they're getting one before us.
>>44955668
Did you miss the New Year bundles which were literally 20%-40% off?
>>44956410
Sore losers will be sore, it's part of the pay 2 play system, where some people feel entitled to win, especially against less experienced players.
>>44956443
To be fair, those bundles were also mixed in with bundles that saved the buying absolutely nothing, like the Ork and Blood Angel bundles.
>>44956410
Almost feel for the SM kid, sucks watching your models explode. Sometimes i have problems keeping my salt in its shaker too.
However acting like that in public is pretty fucking stupid. Id have been up the kids ass if I was the owner, and no one should have to be near or play against someone like that
>>44956432
>Sad Panda
First thought when someone mentions him is always Sad Panda threads on /a/.
>>44956458
The SM player was in his twenties
>Is this common because for some unknown reason it seems like tradition at this place
We use a third party for lots of stuff at our shop. Good way for a spectator or someone around the shop to get involved
>come into 40k thread
>boy, can't wait to talk about 40k
>AoS moaning
Jesus fucking Christ. It's never going to stop, is it? Despite getting 4 new armies for 40k last year, people keep talking about something completely irrelevant. WHFB was dead and costing them shitloads (thanks Kirby) and they should have just shot it in the head and concentrated on 40k and the specialist games.

I play nids, i know your codex is somehow worse than mine, but sometimes the dice just fuck you raw. You got fucked by dice as much as you got fucked by sweaty guardsmen

>>44956584
Oh I know, leadership tests were just fucking killmenow rolls
>>44956319
Do you mean using Astra Corpseloverum Rules, or glorious rules for R&H as laid out in IA 13.
For the former if enforcer=lord commisar it might work.
Now on to the good guys. The real, enlightened brethren.
Well you can have a troop choice called veteran something, which is 5 dudes (+10 pts per additonal) so with 10 dudes, you are setfor standard.
For Hq you need a good rebel, which can be customized (Witch, Heretek,etc). He always comes with his elite bodyguards (min 4). So unless you change the enforcer into glorious rebel, no you would need a commander.
>>44956584
He got fucked by the garbage that was the 'Naut

I like it, poisoned is pretty unnecessary imo. I would give it something that disrupts Invul saves with its electric theme. Make units Reroll them or increase the save by 1
>>44956653 (You)
>>44956674
By increasing I mean 5+ becomes 6+ etc
>>44956612
Get battlescribe, seriously it is free and helps you to navigate through that book as there are so many options you can only take when you have X in your army, it makes your head spin.
So as said, you do not need an enforcer, furthermore there really is no point in bringing one, as all he does is trying to keep your dudes from running away + giving them drugs to make them better in combat. So he only really works in big squads IMHO. The minimum dudes needed for a platoon is 3*10 dudes, more than you have.
If you really only have that I suggest using that enforcer model as your commander and get some special/heavy weapons. Interesting choices are marauders (mercenaries get stealth and infiltration, but cannot regroup ever. They run)
and small veteran squads in a chimera, as they are cheap and can hold objectives. The rebel leader is an independent character, so he/she/it can leave the bodyguard squad for another, giving them special rules. (Interesting covenant of tzeentch for snapshots @ BS2)
Well it is not exactly a good start, because
a) you need some special/heavy weapons to crack enemy armor and bigger stuff, fortunatly you can bring much there.
b) since the vet squads cost quite a lot of points, you might want to have disposable cheap bodies. (Can come in any variety, plague zombies for example).
If you want the "more veteran guys" army, you can make your leader into a bloody handed reaver and can take stormtroopers as veterans, complete with helguns, so buying one box of them might be better.
Oh for starters, you might want to go a certain "path" like I want plague zombies, so you do not end up with units you might not be able to use. For example you can only use stormtroopers at all if your warlord is a reaver. And since its warlord, an additional detachment won't help you
>>44956674
The tail is an additional attack made at I1, or a melta shot against vehicles. The save changes kinda work, but i want something thats a low-points, TAC, solid LOW, not something designed to take out ss/th termies or similar enemies. Maybe something dropping enemy Initiative within 6", or successful hits that fail to wound generate a s4 ap- attack?
>>44956432
It's just not fair... I hate flyrants, I really do, but I also hate getting fucked by my friends' necrons and tau.
Oh well, I guess I just have to hope the next OP as fuck unit actually feels swarmy.
>>44955087
They couldn't be happy with fucking Santa clause and his death sleigh. They couldn't be happy with fucking Lord Wolf of the Wolffuckers wolfington. They couldn't be happy with marines riding wolves.
They actually did it, they went full WOLF and brought those fuckers back. Goddamn werewolf marines. And just you wait, there'll be a "furry" head or 5 on that sprue that will go for fucking $5 a piece on ebay as all the furfags just have to have them.
Goddammit why don't they just give in and let you take nothing but fucking wolves for your army?I still hate space wolves from back in 5th, when literally every goddamn marine army in my area was using Wolffucker rules. I will completely admit im still salty about it for solely that reason.

Even more furry than this ... thing? I don't think this even possible.
>>44956794
>I don't think this even possible
Well that helmet isn't a fur one, so it's possible.Nice grammar, by the way.
>>44955485
What's the benefit of using cement over glue? Unless all of the super give near you is shit..
>>44956794
Yes
Because these won't be furry helmets
They'll be actually furry heads. As in, the thing has its helmet off.
There is one way they can save this in my eyes though, and that's if the nearest, non space wolf force that sees these things IMMEDIATELY unloads into them because they look like chaos spawn.

And upgraded, they CAN dish out the hurt via floods of dice. Poisoned hormagaunts will drag down even big beasties, and Devourer termagaunts will out-dakka shoota boyz, with a better BS to boot
What is the difference between metal, plastic and resin models?(except price)
>>44957340
Resin is the most fragile but can be molded a lot more easily than plastic hence why mode resin models/kits have more detail.
Plastic is the bog-standard model kit material that has less detail than good resin kits but isn't as fragile.
There's literally no reason to use metal.
>>44957340
Resin is shit. Metal is heavy.
>>44957340
Plastic
>easy to glue, no need for drilling
>easy to convert
>the least issues with color flaking
>expensive molds
Metal
Bascially everything worse than plastic these days, but the production is cheaper . Years ago the details were better to cast in metal, but this argument is outdated by now.
Resin:
Worse than metal but even cheaper. I hate resin because you'll always have some issues with bubbles and shit. It's simply not the right substance for miniatures, but it's cheap and easy to handle AND the rate of bubbles and other errors is rather low, if the caster knows what he's doing and uses the right mixture.
Restic/PVC (is it PVC?)
Absolute dogshit. It's cheap, but you'll regret buying that shit. If you have no other option or simply love the sculpt be prepared to get frustrated.
>>44957167
All Sisters unitsvehicles toohave a 6+ invul and Adamantium will.
>>44957364
>There's literally no reason to use metal.
Other than you get all the details of resin without any of the fragility.
>inb4 "resin is more detailed than metal"
http://www.ragingheroes.com/blogs/news/14122621-how-to-choose-between-metal-and-resin-heroines
>"if you compare a metal cast and a resin cast side-by-side, the resin always cast 'looks' better, but this is due to the optical properties of the two materials. On metal, light gets reflected and distorted and, most times, there is also some level of oxidation on the surface of the metal that creates tiny spots and stains."
>resin has a very even finish and the light is slightly absorbed by the material, given it a smooth aspect, a clean look. Because of that, details APPEAR sharper.
>>44957414
Restic?
>>44957414
>no need for drilling
Drill your barrels or get out.
>>44957435
What about putting a dot of black paint on the end of the barrel?
>>44957429
It's the term that people use for some of the mantic 'plastic', it's somwhere between palstic and resin. I think their ogres and dark elf gargoyles are made of it (and the dreadball stuff?). Afaik Avatars of War used that shit for their Dark Elf witches.
The stuff is as durable as plastic , but the details aren't as good, moldlines are hard to remove because it's tougher and you can't use plastic glue on it. All in all it's an even worse material for miniatures than resin, but it's even cheaper or something.
>>44957455
it looks like shit
>>44956443
And the prices are still ridiculous.
>>44957435
I meant drilling and putting sticks between two metal parts of the miniature to give it more stability. I don't know the English term for it...
>>44957416
Wait so Sisters are not that shit? Or am I tripping balls?
>>44957179
>And upgraded, they CAN dish out the hurt via floods of dice.
But they'll rarely get much of a chance to bring those floods of dice to bear. Gaunts/Hormagaunts are so fragile, and the meta so shooting-heavy, that it's almost impossible to get them down the table alive in any great quantity. Those points you spent putting Toxin Sacs on your Hormagaunts could have been better spent on buying more Hormagaunts, and ensuring you have more than half a dozen models left to strike after enemy shooting, Overwatch, then casualties taken from being forced down to I1 through cover.
Termagants with Devourers can work, I'll grant. But that's the only time buying an upgrade for any kind for Hormagaunts or Termagants should be considered.
>>44956653

>>44957482
Yeah sisters are actually pretty decent rules wise. They have access to a fair amount heavy weapon spam and rhinos spitting out d6 s8 ap1 shots. They can definitely hold their own against a load of armies if they have some inquisitorial support.
>>44957492
>tau

>>44957485
Don't worry, the nid decurion will give them free biomorphs, so you can have loads of cheap gaunts with furious charge and poisoned attacks.A bug can dream...
>>44957522
I'm starting Sisters, just because I want something to paint. Right now I can repurpose my old Black Templar Rhinos. 4 if I recall plus a Predator.
I can basically make 2, 5 girl troops with flamer and heavy flamer and 2, 5 girl Dominion squads all of them with melta. Along with combi flamers and combi melta superiors respectively.
But outside of that I'm rather clueless.

That's a good start to a sisters army. It's a pity they discontinued the Immolator, but if you have Z's contact details that shouldn't be a problem.
For a HQ, Celestine is the go-to choice. If you plan to keep that fast attack slot open, Seraphim with 2 pairs of Hand flamers are damn amazing.
>>44957551
Any Termagaunts will be able to use devourers for cheaper or free!

Well, I'm sure I'll get some conversion bits out of that. The dude in the middle looks cool, but I know he'll be $48 and I need him to have pistols not icicle wrist blades.
>>44957664
Actually I have something that was going to use as Seraphim, sadly there is no easy way to turn them into dual wielding pistols. So I might just make up a Bolter like thingy to count as bolt pistols and some flamer to count as hand flamers. Got 10 of those so it shouldn't be a problem.
Yah I got Z's contact sadly he is not responding. So I guess he is still hangover after the chinese new year.
>>44957572
Oh dear lord, those look awful. Maybe they'll be better when we see the actual models instead of blurry photos of a magazine cover, but based on that picture, the old metals absolutely blow those out of the water.
>>44957698
That fucker knows how to party if he's still hungover from February.
>>44957572
Sometimes I wish GW would give the Raven Guard more attention, seeing things like this makes me happy they don't.
Do they use a dartboard to decide what army to pump out new models for

I think it's just a combination of "what sells" and "what the model designers feel like working on".
>>44957755
I want to buy the Robotnik Marine and paint him up like Dr Robotnik.
Glad he's just a generic marine captain though and not a Raven Guard character. Shrike looks bad enough.
The Dark Furies look good with the exception of the jump-packs, luckily I have enough MkIV jump packs from Sanguinary Guard to switch.

>>44957773
It makes sense for a smaller release though.
BA have Death Company, Vanillas have Legion of the Dammed, Eldar have Harlequins, IG has Stormtroopers. There wasn't much left to do without inventing new stuff, except for maybe Deathwatch. Fallen would be great or Tau allies.
>>44957634
Wax on wax off, Wolfie-san.
>>44957572
WHAT. THE. FUCK
>>44957865
I don't have a problem with the Wulfen being brought back - they were a pretty cool unit back in the old 13th Black Crusade days. It's just a shame the new models look, from the initial picture, like trash.
What a good proxy for my Blood Angels army?
My current codex is poo and I love melee marines.
Thanks guys. You have always been helpful.
>>44957572
Yeah, GW is dead. They can't do anything right.
>>44957865
At this pace, once again there's little to no reason for having separate SM codexes, when you can just roll all these Death Companies and Wulfen into one Abomination Squad, like what we had in the old days.
>>44957572
The central one looks like he has the same claws of Murderfang. This may mean two things:
>It would be a pretty mean weapon in cc. S6 AP2 can really hurt if it hits at initiative
>If the rumors about GW wanting to release the Wulfen with the SW codex (but unable to do so because of problems in the mould) are true, Murderfang was probably meant as a 13th company dreadnought, but they had to create in a hurry its (lacklusting) backstory when they were not able to release the two units together
>>44957958
Your right, but GW wants to release Marines.
Also Death Company and LoD are great models. And I feel like the wulfen would look good with different heads, or just helmets. Like the Gal Vorbak.
>>44957572
Woah.
>>44957572

>>44957905
> Codex Tier
Run them as not-Raven Guard using the Mont'Ka formations. Some nice benefits to Assault Marines can be found in there and it's a very simple jump to make. It's basically the Blood Angels Codex, minus Death Company but using updated Scouts, Dreads and a slightly chunkier army list.
> Forge World Tier
Carcharadons are the closest match to a Blood Angels playstyle IMO. Rage and Fear, plus you can make melee-Tacticals. Again a very easy fix, arguably the cheapest, but reliant on your opponent accepting Forge Worldlike they fucking should, it's 2016 fuck dammit.
> 30k Tier
Can always try porting the army into a 30k format. The Blood Angels are currently limited to Furious Charge as their only 'thing' which is still arguably better than the weaker Legions. You'll get Troop Assault Marines, bigger blobs and a very different range of toys. You'll also get to play 30k rather than 40k.
>>44956576
Oh God my sides. I can't stop laughing
>>44958014
Yes! Some variation to the eternal continuity of Marine statline!
Perhaps BS 1 so they can hit something with their bolt pistols while charging but anyway..
>>44957996
Those are your older brothers that you have whined about for millennia because you didn't go with them. Have some respect

It'll look like your gun has a fat bulging blackhead as most who neglect drilling barrels also don't clean up the nubs from the sprue properly.

>>44958037
There's a paragraph in one of the Space Wolf novels/short stories about how he hates all the bling the Iron Priests have bolted onto his chassis to honour him, IIRC.
>>44957760
That's actually part of the Callidus mating dance
>>44958072
Which is triple funny considering Bjorn's old model was basically a stock Mk. V with barely any distinguishing features and now look at him.
>>44957572
Well shit. I like wulfen, but those are Fisher-Price style AoS sculpts.

They aren't. They simply have different roles. Vanguards are for vanguarding, while rangers are for backfield camping while still being able to contribute to the fight with their 30" gun.

They took our blender dreads and made them Murderfag the Yiffborn.

I don't think he has the heart. It's been a while since I read the passage, and I'm not a great fan of the Space Wolves so may be misremembering, but the impression I had is that Bjorn just doesn't care a great deal any more. The Imperium has completely failed the Emperor's vision, his Chapter has devolved into a band of wolf-worshiping savages compared to how they were as a Legion, and his own memories are dribbling away while the daemons who orchestrated the whole sorry affair are reborn again and again in the warp. He just wants to be left alone to sleep at this point.
>>44958167
Rangers are good primarily because of their range. They can hang back on rear objectives and the 30" range of their guns means they can still contribute. Having Precision Shots as standard also comes in handy now and then, since they can try sniping out special/heavy weapons. The Arquebus' are expensive, but allow the unit to ping Hull Points off light vehicles fairly reliably. I generally bring one unit for every two units of Vanguard and feel they pull their weight.
When was the last time GW made a good model? Was it the Skitarii release?
>>44958197
Yeah, but there's no value in sitting on a backfield objective for the sake of sitting on a backfield objective. You assign that task to units that wouldn't be moving about much anyhow.
>>44958165
Naw, that was Bjorn, he was a mohawked, LC wielding permanent Blood claw who never to orders from nobody, except Russ.

Top Heavy: The Model.
Since we are talking about Bjorn, I might as well post some excerpts about him
>‘They… spoke?’ asked Guthorm.
>‘They knew each other.’
>That silenced them. Finnvid shook his head. It sounded incredible to him now, but it was the truth. He always spoke the truth.
>‘Right at the kill, it was laughing,’ he said. ‘The Fell-Handed was tearing it apart, and it was just laughing. It said: I know you. I fought you when you were the fastest of your kind. I fought you when your mortal claw could reach around my throat. Do you remember? What remains of that claw now?’
>The warriors stayed silent. They were rapt, hanging on Finnvid’s words. ‘The Fell-Handed did not reply. The creature kept talking. We are eternal. You know that now? Has the lesson finally been hammered home? We come back. We are unchanged. Your triumphs are temporary. A little pain, a flash of time, but we return. Look at you now!’
>Finnvid had no trouble recalling the words. It was like they had been seared onto his mind.
>‘You called out names the last time. Do you remember them? I do. Tell them to me again. Tell me the names of those I killed.’
>Guthorm stared at him through the flames, his wound looking black and angry. ‘Did he?’
>Finnvid nodded. ‘The Fell-Handed spoke. He was still fighting, and he spoke. Russ, but that voice. Like something out of the sagas. I could barely understand the accent. It was like a dream coming alive. He reeled off a name every time he struck a blow. Alvi. Byrnjolf. Eirik. Gunnald Shieldbearer. Hiorvard.’

>‘I don’t know. But then came the strange thing.’ Finnvid hesitated. ‘He couldn’t remember the last one. There was one more, but he couldn’t get it. The daemon laughed at him. I remember, it said. I will always remember. And when you are gone, I will be the only one who remembers. Think on that. If the Fell-Handed had been angry before, he fought like a baresark after that. He just piled on the pain. Hjolda, but I’ve never seen anything like it. The thing was still laughing when it died. Bjorn didn’t stop. He burned the whole carcass to ashes. He was still burning it when the battle fell away and we were given the order to stand down. Who was going to tell him to stop?’
>Finnvid tried to smile at the others, to lift their spirits, but the story had made them uneasy, just as he’d feared it would.
>‘How did it finish?’ asked Guthorm.
>‘I saw him leave,’ said Finnvid. ‘The lander came down with its escorts. They had six priests waiting to usher him back. He stomped right past me, close as you are, covered in blood. Everyone fell back.’
>Finnvid clasped his hands before him, slumping forward on his elbows. The fire didn’t do much to warm him.
>‘He was still trying to get it. I heard him. He couldn’t remember. They took him up into the hold and he ignored them all.’
Bjorn is cautionary tale about the price of loyalty. Broken in mind and broken in body. What did he gain for his service? Bloody silence.
