First for XIX nomadic predation fleets!
Is there any fluff about Sanguinius actually flying or were his wing just used for short jumps/gliding?
>>48079041
In Pharos it said he liked to take little flies around the city to clear his mind
>>48078887
Jesus, imagine how terrifying that would be as a planetary governor.
One day you start finding important politicians and global leaders dead and mutilated, slowly communications are shut off, power grids shut down, then one day entire cities go missing or are slaughtered, all with no trace of who's doing it.
And then when everything's gone to shit, and you've finally given up, the fuckers who've been doing this emerge, nightmarish monsters dressed in strange armour and human skin. The final kick in the balls being that they weren't doing this for any particular reason, they were doing it because they enjoyed it.

iirc he broke Kabanda's back by flying up high and then plummeting to the ground with the demon on his knee during the siege of terra.
Is there anything worth knowing about the Sol planets that aren't Terra or Mars?
>>48079815
Saturn makes ships apparently.
>>48079815
Saturn, I think, is a spaceship construction yard.
And for some reason, I have this idea of a defense ring about Pluto, but I might be picking that up from somewhere else.
>>48079815
Saturn had void-hoplites and was a bunch of orbital city-states in constant war, with the last functional warfleet in the system.
Jupiter was like Saturn, but without the hoplites and the fleet.
Sedna was an alien artificial planet.
There were witches with golems on Venus.
Luna was inhabitated by gene-sects, who were douches and needed a good beating from the Fists, LWolves, and Warborns.
>>48079815
reminder
>>48079815
Venus has colonies that were conquered during the Unification Wars.
Jupiter is a forge world. In that it had vast shipyards orbiting it and its moons are there to support the production efforts.
Saturn (that is, its moons) are the home of the Solar Auxilia. In 40k they're mainly the base of operations for the Inquisition and the Grey Knights.
Uranus has some orbital colonies.
Neptune('s orbit) was a home to a ton of mutants and got purged by the Emperor.
Pluto's just an outpost.
>>48079885

And I suppose Mercury's too hot for anything, even in the grimdark future?

I think it was some ancient piece of fluff that had like Mercury covered in solar panels or something. How they'd transfer that energy elsewhere is a mystery, though.
>>48080019
Mercury is probably some sort of giant foundry.

There were three no fly zones during the seige of Terra.

And the mother fucking moon
The moon is full of gene tech and they fortified the shit out of every inch of it.
>>48080479
>Anywhere near the Phalanx
What bullshit reason are they going to give for the Phalanx not being totally destroyed during the siege do you reckon? Seems like that thing could have cut the traitor fleet in half.

I got banned for making a 30k related first post in one of these generals. The reason given was violating global rule 3 regarding post numbers and gets.
The mod is a worthless useless piece of shit especially considering the amount of numbers related posts go on in generals and across the entire site.
>>48080606
My guess is stalemate with the Phalanx engaging several ships at once and none winning or losing.
>>48080606
the phalanx is slow as fuck
theyll probably say some bullshit about the alpha legion disabling its engines or something so it was just stuck out in the middle of nowhere with nobody daring to get close to it
I'm curious. What is the appeal of the Imperial Fists? Is it their scheme? Dorn/Sigismund/Pollux? Their fortress building shtick? I'm only asking as it seems like they get more love here than most legions. Dorn doesn't seem to be a particularly outstanding figure amongst the primarchs. Can someone clear the air for me?
>>48081592
Sigismund and the BT really.
Dorn was the generic primarch of primarchs. He even had a bolter and chainsword.
>>48080606
Because it's a floating fortress made in the dark age of technology and then further improved about by the go to primarch for fortifying shit. It was most likely leading the space offensive
>>48081592
people like the everyman
Thinking about using a LIbrarian, what powers does he have access to in the Heresy?
>>48081592
For many it's being the golden defenders of Terra.
For others it's the knowledge that you are the reliable ones, not some deviant legion like the Night Lords or the Word Bearers.
For some it's the characters like Siggy.
>>48079338
if the planet has even one guard regiment will balls, or maybe just one noble scion of guilliman the night lords are probably the least scary space marines to have attack your planet
I love them, but they're pillow fisted.

Because they are based
They were really good at what they did, didn't have a gimmick and excelled in what they were suppose to do. They were the only chapter that exemplified the great crusade and undertook it with zeal.
They are just fleshed out really well.
Not to mention the best captins, fleet, facial hair, fortresses, and successor chapters.
>>48081717
All of them in the rulebook
The way librarians work in 30k is you pick one discipline from the rule book for your librarian and he can only roll on that.Of course, you'd know this if you literally just glanced at the librarian consul entry

>>48081852
>they were the only chapter that exemplified the great crusade and undertook it with zeal
The Emperors Children, and Ultramarines would like a word with you. Wait no, pretty much every legion would like a word with you.
>>48081883
It's pretty much never going to happen that you'll see a Primarch.
>>48081892
IF we're the only ones that partook in the great crusade because they believed in the act, not because they wanted to build empires or find some pretty art.

But on a serious note, they can all take santic, but only WB's can take malefic

wat do
>>48081937
Buy them and use them when you're playing traitors from a loyalist legion?
>>48081912
They all took part in the great crusade because they believed in it. Even the legions of the Primarchs who didn't want to be there, like Angron, Jaghatai, and Mortarion believed in the Great Crusade to unite humanity, otherwise, you know, they wouldn't of done it.
>>48081937
>buy them
>play a Traitor legion
>>48081971
How do you think the loyal crusade marines felt about their reluctant primarch?
>>48081912
>not because they wanted to build empires
that is literally what the crusade was about
>>48081892
Literally every legion had an additional motive to be in the crusade
Khan was bored with his home planet
Corax and mort wanted to cast down tyrants
Gulliman wanted to play civ
Magnus wanted knowledge
Dorn just wanted to crusade and unite humanity
>>48081950
>>48081985
I'm thinking if GW makes a plastic Daemon Angron that looks as badass as his art to go alongside the Daemon Primarchs return and Daemon Magnus rumors, I'll make red/white World Eaters I guess. I can play them as KDK or CSM in 40k as well.
I just kinda wanted to add some neat Daemon models to my army without having to start a new army but I play foolish loyalists.
>>48081892
The EC were His exemplars, and nobody can deny the efectiveness of the UM at expanding the Imperium just as nobody can deny that Dorn was the one who believed in the Great Crusade the harders.
Even Guilliman could see Emps as somewhat of a dick sometimes, but not Dorn. The same went for his plans of galactic domination.
>>48081971
>They all took part in the great crusade because they believed in it
Kek.
Morty served the Emperor because he lost a bet
Perty because he was merely following orders
Angron had to be fucking kidnapped to be placed in the Imperials side.
Kind of.
>>48078907
Always good for a chuckle
>>48081989
They felt like dying...but afterwards most felt nothing butthe embrace of oblivion cooling down the flames of betrayal
>>48081998
Eh, saying Guilliman just wanted to play civ is like saying Dorn just wanted to build fortresses
For that matter, what was Horus' secondary motive then? If anything Horus exemplified the crusade better than Dorn, hence why he was chosen to be Warmaster. Or The lion? He seemed like he was just there to carry on his conquering by taking it to space,
>>48082027
Yeah, I was talking about the legions not the primarchs themselves. In Scars for example, the marines talk about how much the love the crusade and shit, while the Khan's like "this shit's fuckin' gay, lets just let everyone go"
>>48081995
It wasnt the primarchs place to be building those empires. They were suppose to be warriors and generals. The empire building was for the fleet of burocrats and engineers that came after the fighting was done.
>>48082065
>If anything Horus exemplified the crusade better than Dorn, hence why he was chosen to be Warmaster.
He was better than most (Sanguinius was even better, like a better loser, and far too pure for that shit), but Dorn was the most zealous about crusading. Emps simply knew that the Warmaster was meant to be more flexible some times, something that Dorn wasn't really known for.
>Or The lion? He seemed like he was just there to carry on his conquering by taking it to space,
Now, isn't a man's right to righteously travel the stars in order to find a proper forest which he can chop down because of good honest hatred of trees?
>>48082065
Horus was fucking ambitious, his motive was commanding more and more power.
The lion's reason for crusading was the hunt to cure his autism.
>>48082108
But they couldn't just fuck the planets over and then let someone else tidy it up for them. This is what the AL did, and it's made pretty clear that these planets were generally shitholes that didn't really respect or believe in the Imperium after this.
>>48082141
>Now, isn't a man's right to righteously travel the stars in order to find a proper forest which he can chop down because of good honest hatred of trees?
I still have nightmares about Tennessee.

I love dorn, quite a bit, but the emperor himself disagrees with you. Apparently generals that don't need to be micromanaged and are capable of independent initiative are what the master of mankind was looking for.
Him praising the ultramarines as the finest examples of the crusade were the whole reason Calth happened.
>>48082198
Most of the legions just ramshacked their planets and left. Even the good ones.

It is a most foul myth that the Lion suffers from autism
On the contrary, he enjoys it a lot! :^)
>>48082270
Cth happened because the emp used the UM to spank the WBs jewel world. Logar thought Girlyman enjoyed the experience and took it personally
>>48082324
>Turn your thoughts to vengeance, brother.
By the time I'm done, there'll be nothing but log cabins.
>>48082324
The lion use to tell jokes occasionally.
No one got them though and thought he was just talking.
>>48082332
I wonder what would have happened had Emps brought Horus and the SoH to scold Lorgar. It could have been quite different.
>>48082346
So, he's german?
>>48082332
Maybe if Lorgar hadn't been starting a religion in a crusade designed to end religion and hanging out with the two shadiest fuckers in the galaxy then all this shit wouldn't of happened
>>48082359
>I wonder what would have happened had Emps brought Horus and the SoH to scold Lorgar. It could have been quite different.
I think it would have ended in the same way.
>>48082332
>Cth happened because the emp used the UM to spank the WBs jewel world.
>While the Emperor had chastised the Word Bearers, they watched with jealous hearts as he championed the Ultramarines as his finest warriors. When the Heresy erupted and the shackles of loyalty were cast off, the Word Bearers set upon the Sons of Ultramar with unbridled hatred.
>>48082391
If one or two things had been different for all the primarchs alot would be different
>>48082359
Horus would have probably taken logar to the side and explained it wasn't personal and gave him a pep talk.
>>48082332
Almost correct. In 'Aurelian' Lorgar is told by a FateWeaver that Guilliman and Lorgar's feud is meaningless as they both believe the other one hates them. Lorgar also states in 'Know No Fear' and 'Betrayer' that Calth and the reaving of Ultramar has a purpose in the grand scheme and is not a personal vendetta against Guilliman.
Though Guilliman obviously comes to hate Lorgar because of this, regardless of Lorgar's reasons.
>>48082404
Even the Emperor's Executioned admitted he can't take on Horus just like that
The same may go for the rest of his legionThen again, SW+SOS+Custodes had a hard time taking down an unprepared tiny legion like the TSons...
>>48082451
This would be in the scenario where Lorgar distances himself from his "the most dangerous" of his brothers, rather than trying to seduce him to his side.
>>48082408
>his example is one I would have you follow
The Emperor is saying this dude has the right idea, not the exemplar of what He's trying to do.
>>48082451
>nothin personnel lergrar
>*deep strikes reaver squads behind u*
>>48082473
>The Emperor is saying this dude has the right idea, not the exemplar of what He's trying to do.
guilliman is quite literally being used as an exemplar for lorgar in that conversation
>>48082471
To be fair, the Thousand Sons were one of the most deadly legions despite being the smallest. It was almost an even playing field. Hell, if Magnus had actually tried to fight from the getgo on Prospero then they probably would have rebuked the SW but Magnus knew they'd be needed.
Actually, this brings up something that pisses me off. Magnus initially keeps from telling his legion that SW are coming and even refuses to fight until the very end because he knows the SW will be needed in the coming war but then what does he do? He does a complete fucking 180 and sides with the traitors.
>>48082599
I don't know why he sides with the traitors, but by this point he has accepted being Tzeench's bitch.
Can someone post the quote where Horus is lamenting that all of his most beloved brothers stayed loyal to the Emperor and he is forced to fight with the broken, petty, and mentally unsound of his brothers.
>>48082646
Lorgar bringing the hurtful words!
>>48082456
>and is not a personal vendetta against Guilliman
it's almost like the horus heresy fluff is rife with contradictions
>>48082799
Contradictions are nice though. It means you can pick and choose your own canon at a whim.
>>48082821
yeah, I can agree with that
>>48081848
Angron had a two handed chain axe called widow maker. The reason he doesn't have it anymore is because he hit Russ with it so hard it shattered.
>>48083005
I thought they we're gorefather and gorechild?
>>48083037
Those were the replacements to widow maker
>>48083037
All primarchs have bucketloads of primarch-level wargear.
>>48083082
Basically this. Your average primarch seems to have gone through enough Wargear for every single second founding and a few of the third founding chapters to have some chainsword or power blade they used for a year or two.
>>48083122
I used to believe the Teeth of Terra had something to do with Dorn.
Even though we know he cracked his chainsword and it was too heavy for even an astartes to lift it anway.
Maybe it was his combat knife
At least we're sure the Burning Blade was the Emperor's, and that relic bolter was Guillimans IIRC
There's a part where Aeonid Thiel is admiring Guilliman's weapons closet, right?
>>48083037
That was after the fact
>>48083188
The Mortifcators had Guilliman's combat knife and sent it to the Deathwatch for future Mortificators to use after the other sons of Guilliman made a mountain out of a molehill over the knife.
Which r63 primarch would you waifu and why

>>48083392
VPs on death look definitely bad...but maybe it could be good in games of 1850 and less? Hordes of Contemptors would be somewhat difficult to remove given how the enemy can't shit enough antitank at that point level.Post that parkour contemptor pic plz
>>48083459
>Isn't Pert canonically kinda chubby?
What? No. Curzefag, where on earth would you get that from?
>>48083470
Could it also be good in Zone Mortalis? The opposition may struggle to bring enough AT to stop a bunch of boxnoughts
>>48083740
Good idea. Contemptors have an invuln for the times where the enemy does bring ranged AT, like melta squads in zones mortalis, and Cortus will seldom be targeted on their sides. If you play ZM, that is.
>>48083392
An army of deep striking dreadnoughts, like 9-10 with half going into your backline, might be good but you'd need to wipe the enemy or lose.
>>48083509
nah pert is fat and autistic
>>48083842
There is no evidence to prove otherwise.
>>48083842

>>48083459
Fucking moron
>>48083955
Dorn states that he has no doubt that he would kill Pert 1v1 fight me IRL fagget. Dorn literally could not tell a lie even if it's in his favor to do so.
>>48084177
Hey, remember that time Perturabo dug a big ditch and bet Dorn he couldn't fill it with the bodies of his own dead?
And Dorn said fuck you, I'll fill it so full I can walk across the bodies, kick down the door to your house, and punch that smirk off your face?
And he did, except Perturabo wasn't in there and the house was a bomb?
>>48084210
I recall Dorn then saying something along the lines "I was merely pretending to be retarded", while Perturabo ascended to daemonic princehood.
Fun times.
>>48081592
Because some of us enjoy a chapter that doesn't rely on edgy bullshit nonsense, like a traitorous primarch/loyal primarch with a douche 2IC, or a drunken furry, or a pissy asshat who got waylaid even though he was supposed to be amazing and even wrote the spess mehreen bibble, or some neurotic fags that couldn't handle being badasses. Because Dorn was Terra's Praetorian, a job that most would have hated. Because he actually DID, while other primy's just talked. Because he had the good taste to die and stay dead, not leave his Legion and Successors to wonder if he was really gone. Because BT's are the shit, CF's are beasts, Iron Knights and Soul Drinkers rock, and the Fists' colors really pop on a table, unlike the ultrasmurfs.
There are probably enough Salamander players that there are more Salamander minis than there are living Salamanders. This amuses me to no end.
>>48084609
There are a few that really pop due to being unique. Salamanders, Fists, Emperor's Children.
>>48084661
Same with Ultramarines, particularly 2nd company (default color scheme)
>>48081880

Just got off work and should keep working on my contemptor, but might play Halo instead.
>>48085611
I take eons to paint. 2 weeks on a squad of tacticals.
>>48085584
I'm nowhere near near a good painter, I just like doing it
>>48085625
Literally anything, that's what makes them, special. If you're running coils, you can have just about any list you want but have to have a strong infantry core. I run mine as up close and personal veterans, backed by plasma guns while out riders go hunting for vehicles with meltas
>>48085628
I've been playing a lot of Overwatch this week. I mean it's not a "perfect game" or anything, but goddamn does Blizzard deliver. Reinhardt is how I roleplay as an Imperial Fist.

Good news it that someone improved my vomit pit.
>>48085741
put some LED lights on your model and you got yourself a Christmas tree.
>>48084210
>>48084239
I do remember that time Dorn realized his legion wouldn't split because he bred unity in them. Then he threw them all into a meat grinder so they'd get the hint.
>>48085731
Blizzard games tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth these days. It's sad because Overwatch looks pretty good.
>>48085748
I don't see how it's a Christmas tree. If you want Christmas speak to my nigga Garth Everett.
Night guys. I hope Garth and apparently my House brings you gifts in your dreams.
>>48084210
>reciting old copy pasta
You realize he and his legion knew full well what they had gotten themselves into, it's not like they were just dick-waggling. Contrary to the memes, IF and IH aren't retarded.
>>48084210
I remember that time Pert laid a trap for the Fist and failed killing even half of them after several weeks of constant bombardment.
>>48085974
I beg to differ with the Iron Hands. They're pretty pants-on-head retarded.
>>48085758
>>48085974
>>48085993
The whole point of the Iron Cage incident was that the IF and IWs are the opposing sides of a coin, the I ly difference being one was an idealist while the other pragamtic. IW wouldn't make the ultimate sacrifice to kill the IF while the IF were literally filling ditches with dead bodies to get the chance to kill the IW.
>>48085994
I really do want to like the IH, the whole cyborg gimmick appeals to me as well as their combat doctrine.
Then I actually start reading their shit and drop the subject.
>>48086054
Pretty much it, yeah. It's a shame because they have some great looking units and some good rules. Ferrus is also insufferably stupid.
>>48081592
Is that fucking Dorn and Alpharius duking it out?
>>48086054
>Then I actually start reading their shit and drop the subject.
Well maybe that's why they're the weeaboo ones...
>>48086105
Yep
note the Pale Spear - now we know what it looks likeFor Xeno Tech its looks lame af
>>48086105
You fucking know it. I was happy to see Dorn getting some page time other than directing construction. AL and IF fucking hate each other on top of it, can't wait

Oh shit, that's so lame
Why in the hell would they do that
>>48086154
Painting contest. they literally have no lore beyond "they're kinda like Black Templar but some wear Kubuki masks"
They're demonstrating the complementary colors turquoise and dark red.
>>48086151
I hope so
My AL List is missing their Primarch.
Dorn looks good though, shame he doesn't have the beard though :^)
>>48086216
I don't usually recommend it because they're scaled for regular marines but Kabuki has these two who coincidentally look similar to Alpharius. Since Alpharius was able to hide among his sons, these should be about the right size.
>>48086216
This
I always thought Dorn wore a beard

>>48086860
I've no chosen an army yet. For color schemes, I like the Sons of Horus and the Alpha Legion, though I don't like topknots or Beakies. Word Bearers seem pretty cool too, though I'm not really sure on that one. Blackshields seems like a cool idea, though the lack of RoWs and a lot of other stuff like characters is kinda meh.
>>48086902
alpha legion doesnt exclusively use beakies
Their scheme looks better on mk4 anyway
>>48086902

Unless your planning to use Vallejo Blue gunmetal here you go
>>48086915
Ah, I know, just generalizing is all.
Plus, were I to buy their upgrade sets or the headhunter kill team set, I'd end up owning beakies.
>>48086870
Next book will probably be the biggest one yet. Thousand Sons, Wolves, Custodes, Sister of Silence, and probably BA, WS, and DA stuff.
ok HHG, show me what your working on at the moment.
I am doing up some containers for my ZM and terrain boards, then moving onto the oil barrels and boxes for scatter terrain.
>>48086902
Which legion's lore do you like the most? Which has the most interesting rules? Which has the most interesting units?
>>48087010
>Thousand Sons
Hot damn, I completely forgot that they were next. Now I can't decide whether to start HH with Ultramarines right away or save up so I can walk like a Prosperan.
>>48087045
I've sworn to take no pictures of my EC until they're completely finished, but I'm painting a contemptor.
>>48087087
As much as I like Thousand Sons, I wouldn't start them until they at least have some legion specific unit models out. Biggest reason I dropped the Alpha Legion I was working on.
>>48086881
Pick one:
Auto-pass hit and run
HoW equal strength to what he rolled for charge distance
Red Paint aka extra inches when he turbo boosts
Divine eyes: doesn't snap shoot after jinking
>>48087077
Hmmm.... Lore and rules wise, Word Bearers and Alpha Legion interest me, I haven't read up yet on the Sons of Horus and I don't know what book Blackshields are in, and I honestly don't feel like getting a whole book just for one section of it.
>>48087180
There's a MEGA for them in the OP. But the question of units remains.
where the fuck are the leaks
>>48087278
Oh, forgot to mention that, didn't I?
Gal Vorbak and Ashen Circle seem awesome to me, with great models as well. My only wish is that the Mhara Gal had rules half as decent as it's model, because that is perhaps one of my favorite models FW's ever made.
Headhunter Kill Teams and Lernean Terminators seem pretty decent, though I'm pretty tired right now and can't really remember all that much.
I've heard good things about the SoH's units, but that's it, really.
>There's a MEGA for them in the OP.
Yeah, I know that, but I've a couple problems there. My first problem is that I'm a filthy phoneposter and can't access any of the MEGAS. My second problem is that I just want the Blackshields section of the book, as I've the LACAL, Age of Darkness Legions book with all the legions except BA, WS, and DA(?), and Book 5 with the Militia and Cults army list.
>>48087346
It'd be nice if Headhunters and Lernaeans had models though. I'd be all over them. Gal Vorbak are excellent and Ashen Circle are pretty mid tier. I play Word Bearers and I'm starting Emperor's Children. I've thrown my Gal Vorbak at tanks, dreads, tacticals, everything. They mulch it. Give them some power mauls and you're set. Axes if fighting terminators.
>>48087401
headhunters have models, though?
>>48087414
Shitty conversion pieces, but yeah, I guess. It's the Lernaeans I'm interested in seeing.

That's not the whole story though. Perturabo was happy to kill them marine by marine, he enjoyed every moment of it and was in no rush. There was no greater strategic objective and he didn't care that he might not get the chance to finish them off. He greatly outnumbered them and the Imperial Fists couldn't exactly go anywhere (first thing he did was take out their fleet).
Guilliman bailed out the ImpFists, and what did Perturabo do? He concentrated on making sure that they couldn't recover their dead. Not kill as many more as he could; not extend the war to the Ultramarines for interfering (or, just as likely, for any other number of real or imagined insults). Just to continue hurting and shaming the Imperial Fists as much as possible, since that was the only point of the whole ordeal in the first place.
The Iron Warriors were THE legion for grinding attrition and victory through drawn-out mutual annihilation. To suggest the reason they didn't achieve the complete destruction of the Imperial Fists during the Iron Cage is due to anything other than Guilliman butting his nose into their private feud is simply giving the Imperial Fists too much credit.
>>48087979
Wasn't there something along the lines of Perty could have killed Dorn, but he himself would have died too?
>>48087945
>valkyries too high-tech
>can have power armour, rhinos, land raiders, cybernetics, gene-enhancements, etc.
I wonder if valkyries even are HH era. Somehow I always had the image that they're post-Heresy inventions. Then again, FW's been really stingy about giving speeders, rhinos, land raiders, predators, etc. to the Army (which they sure as hell had in the old fluff), so who knows what they'll give Army.
>>48088000
The best offense.....
Is a good defense
>>48088000
Never that I saw.
The primary sources (i.e. the original ones that all others have drawn from) were from Index Astartes volumes I and II, compilations of articles which appeared in White Dwarf in the 90s. Interestingly for the time, many articles covered the same incident but with subtle differences as if from the "perspective" of the chapter that the article was for, suggesting that the real truth could be anywhere between the two points or even beyond. Even so, some clearly seem more convincing than others.
In the Iron Warriors version:
"So it continued - Perturabo dissected the Imperial Fists tank by tank, squad by squad. Rogal Dorn remained convinced that victory was in sight and pushed his men on. Perturabo pulled back some of his defenders and called upon others to hold - a stratagem that fractured the Imperial Fists, first into companies and then into squads. By bay six of the battle, each marine fought virtually alone [...] Still Perturabo remained patient, he allowed Dorn to rampage around the trenches calling his name and demanding personal combat, content that the sight of their Primarch's impotence would demoralise the Imperial Fists."
[...]
"If Perturabo had a failing it was that he had grown to enjoy tormenting his enemies too much. He could have finished off the Imperial Fists at any time but chose not to."
In the Imperial Fists version:
"Dorn would not tolerate [the Eternal Fortress]. Without his customary caution and planning, Dorn led his men into the heart of the Iron Warrior defences. The battle should have favored the treacherous trench-fighters, but the Imperial Fists endured."
[...]
"Eventually it became apparent that the Iron Warriors could not finish them. For all their skill and ferocity, the Iron Warriors lacked the faith to make the ultimate sacrifice that victory demanded."
>>48088135
the only relevant information we can glean from the events of the Iron Cage is that the Ultramarines are greater than the Fists and Warriors combined
>>48088135
>the ultimate sacrifice that victory demanded
That's what I meant.

Hey mate, since you've got one, can you give me a rough measurement of the Kharybdis dimensions? I want to get one eventually but I'm in the process of designing my trays for the case and battlefoam doesn't have the Kharybdis as one of their default shapes. Is it easier to store standing up or on its side as though it's on the flying base?

>>48088965
That's actually a good thing. Think of all the water and minerals we have available from them.
>>48088962
Probably cloud cities, orbital platforms and domed surface cities.
I mean, considering the amount of inhospitable and toxic hellholes with billions of people living on them in 40k, Venus is hardly the worst one. And it's just next door from Terra.

This is what I thought when first seeing it. IIRC some of the other illustrations in this presentation at the last event featured some of the already released primarchs in the same or similar positions as their model including Russ, leading me to believe this might be it.
I'm okay with the pose , I just hope they gave him a helmet option. Even if they don't, I'll slap one on him anyways.
>>48089320
it would explain why they havent released them both yet, if they were making them both at the same time like they did with ferrus and fulgrim, they couldve had another sculptor knock out russ in the meantime.
>>48088170
>the only relevant information we can glean from the events of the Iron Cage is that the Ultramarines are greater than the Fists and Warriors combined
At best you can say they're only better than what's left of the Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists after they first spent six non-stop weeks killing each other.
Or:
>"Perturabo had no desire to fight two Chapters and concentrated on preventing the Imperial Fists from evacuating their wounded and dead."
So really, you can only say that Guilliman didn't think he could beat a Perturabo even with Dorn's help after Perturabo's army had just spent six non-stop weeks in battle, and got the fuck out of there as soon as he completed his mission of rescuing Dorn, while Perturbao didn't particularly care about the Ultramarines and left them to do whatever while he kept killing the 'Fists.
Furthermore, Perturabo got exactly what he wanted out of it:
>"One insult had been avenged, and since then the Iron Warriors have lived only to settle matters with the corpse on the Golden Throne."
While on the other hand:
"Rogal Dorn was a broken man. It was ninteen years before he and the Imperial Fists could once again go to war. They left over 400 marines at the Eternal Fortress and every refugee carried horrific wounds."
>>48088205
Yes, if you ask the Imperial Fists, that's the excuse they'll give you for why the Iron Warriors didn't finish them off. The Iron Warriors tell the story differently, and in either case, no-one disputes that Dorn and his Imperial Fists would all have died their if Guilliman didn't bail his ass out.

We don't know at the moment. Dark Angels were the most secretive legion, even more than the Alpha Legion.
>>48090718
More like 19 years of "Fuck no! As worthless as a librarian!" if you were a Black Templar
Or were the BT codex compliant on the beginning? IIRC, fleetbased chapters have looser restrictions on chapter size.
Just ordered the Xiphon Interceptor, how badly did I fuck up?
>>48090799
I think I remember the Black Templar were a legion company that said "fuck that" and decided to stick together with their own colors anyway.
They've had at least two successors now though so someone somewhere told them to split up a bit.

They used to the largest legion before the Ultras took that title after the Dangles lost 50,000 marines right? Was that before they were reunited with One Punch Lion Man or after? I can't remember but I think it was before.
So how is the Ironwing protocol and how Well does it support mechanized infrantry with tank support armies over tank spam ?
Considering using it in 40k at 1500 to get a break from my usual codex.
>>48091098
>Was that before they were reunited with One Punch Lion Man or after?
Right beforehand I believe.
