We Dark Angels Now Edition
Who calibrated this? Sub-Edition
In the last thread we talked about how some people don't play this game because they want to play later founding successor chapters and what will be the BaC successor, debate on who's the most versatile legion along with if "adaptability" just means copying another legion happened, talk on who should have been Warmaster who owns the thrones of cheese was also made, some Anons made RoWs after DA talk and just how many RoWs they might be getting came up, and it's better to be a proud Space Corgi than a Space Yiff plus more in the last thread >>48134981

What's with the missing legions? Why are they missing?
I hate that you can't take MM sponsons on Leman Russes in a Militia and Cults list.
>>48149409
www.strawpoll.me/10663447
Every thread until you like it.
>>48149474
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They just are, it was originally so you could make your own legion, but nowadays it's just a part of the lore and that's that really
>>48149474
Originally pic related and the Valedictors were the two missing legions, but GW then decided to make a historical reference and move them to a later founding and moved these gits to a later founding so you can have your dudes. Now the Missing Legions got krumped by Leman.
>>48149479
I'll add it to the template for the next thread, alright?
>>48149479
But I wrote my dudes fluff so they could fight for either side!
Why isn't there an option to be loyal to everyone? Just as long as I don't tell them I'm playing both sides before we sign the blood oath
>>48149479
>implying I don't have my traitor primarch and a seperate Orphans of Betrayal list
>>48149544
So if Armillus Dynat can buy a power dagger, Corax can buy cameleoline, right? Remember he has "the korvidine pinions" that give him the unit type Jump Pack Infantry, he doesn't have "a jump pack".To be clear, I wouldn't actually do this, just mentioning it for fun.
>>48149693
Didn't mean to reply to that post, sorry.
>>48149693
Isn't there a rule that if you're a named dude you can't buy shit?
>>48149693
no because corax is (unique)
>>48149693
Yes, pretty rules-lawyery, but yes.
>>48149144
Is it not prohibited by the main 40k rules?
>>48149474
If you subscribe to the idea that the primarchs are based on a tarot decks’ major arcana, the two missing primarchs are the High Priestess (highly spiritual, with an understanding of the workings of the universe) and the Wheel of Fortune (an 8-spoked wheel representing cycles, fate, and major changes). The decal on the Blackshields sheet that looks like a sun with two crescent moons and two hooked pillars looks an awful lot like the High Priestess’s symbol (dun dun dun!). And in The First Heretic Lorgar remembers that those legions existed, and were wiped out and erased.
I assume that’s why Russ thought his orders to wipe out the Thousand Sons wasn’t too out of the ordinary to believe.
How should I build an Alpha Legion army?
Their special units seem pretty lackluster honestly, are they worth taking
>>48149873
>Lerneans being lackluster
>>48149835
Lorgar would be the high priestess surely?
>clerical/holy
>obsessed with understanding the truth of the universe
>somewhat feminine
>>48149877
But they are
>>48149877
Theyre just a cataphractii with a power axe and volkite charger. The only special thing they get is stubborn. Not really interesting at all. I hope they get a rework when the actual models come out.
Why dont terminators get veteran tactics?
>>48149896
>>48149897
Stubborn WS 5 and a volkite charger for 5 points more than a normal terminator? They aren't sper special snowflake unit but they're pretty gud
>>48149762
> That's not a rule
Unique is very, very simple; you only get one.
It mentions diddly shit about having fixed equipment or losing options. In the vast majority of cases they simply aren't given any, but the global character options available to any Legion model remain valid.
>>48149928
Theyre just so vanilla. I wish they at least got a special ability, or a special weapon. Preferably both.
The best legion should have more interesting units.
I also wish Headhunters were better desu
>>48149955
Give them to the Blood Angels then. I would love some Terminators++
>>48149883
He's the Hierophant: a spiritual leader and teacher, a symbol of group identity, calm, slow to change his mind but resolute when he does, holds grudges, dogmatic. One non-40k-related website says, “While the Magician [Magnus] was taking raw power from the Universe and manifesting it in the material world, the Hierophant channels that power through society.”
As for the High Priestess, there’s probably some significance in the representative of femininity having been wiped out before the story even starts.
>>48150000
>Implying BA unique units wont have special rules and equipment out the wazoo
i wish WE didnt suck
>>48150050
cadre weapons definitely need a going over. Their new RoW and redbook changes are pretty decent though
>>48150080
the crimson path is dogshit
>>48150170
>3+ FNP being dogshit
>>48150050
Suck is too strong a word. They're not bad anymore, but they still take massive casualties even when winning.
>>48149955
Lernaens are sweet. They hit other terminators on 3+ and have stubborn, making them an excellent praetor boat. They discount on volkite is great too. They are a bit vanilla but AL in general are vanilla marines +1, so oddly enough they exemplify the legion well.
Also keep in mind they get mutable tactics and benefit from Alpharius' global buffs, so in reality they're WS:5, stubborn Volkite terminators with counter charge/infiltrate/scout/move-through-cover and preferred enemy everything. for 5 points more each. Not bad.
Also head hunters are kinda the same deal, with counter charge they can put out a threatening amount of AP3 rending attacks
Is the Whirlwind scorpius any good? I have 125pts left over in my list, and I'm trying to choose between a scorpius with a HK missile and a predator with HB sponsons, combi bolter, armoured ceramite and a dozer blade.
>>48150246
+1 to your FNP in the enemies deployment zone is dogshit.
typhons/vindicators/scorpius/medusa dont give a shit about your FNP
the crimson path is garbage
Didn't get an answer in /WIP/ so I'll ask here, you guys should know a thing or two about resin.
Is it possible to use hot water to straighten a resin piece AFTER it's primed and painted?
It's only a very slightly bent sword but I'm worried the tension might cause the paint to crack and ruin the whole piece.
>>48150323
>Running your blobs into blob-mulchers
well no shit youre having a bad time retard
>>48149725
>>48149762
No
>>48149929
This is correct
>>48150352
if you arent running 2 spartans or 2 kharybdis WE arent even playable.
>>48150023
Please tell us more about the other primarchs.
>>48150391
Consider bikes.
>>48150432
nah theyd still get raped by typhons/medusa/scorpius/vindicators/phosphex
the only way for WE to even get anything into CC is to take 2 spartans or 2 kharybdis or 5 dreadclaws. its retarded.
400 points of phosphex thud guns or a typhon will kill 1000+ points of WE blobs before theyd ever see combat. 20 man blobs might as well not even be an option in the book
>>48150478
Show me on the doll where Perturabo touched you
>400 points of thud guns
What kind of asshole do you play againstimplying you even play
>>48150478
>I play in a meta so saturated by the most optimal units that must mean that everyone else plays with such a setting
How many Typhons and Vindicators are your opponents taking Jesus Christ
>>48150545
1 typhon will effective kill or neuter 3 20x man blobs in 3 turns of shooting.
3-4 thudd guns with phosphex will kill them even faster.
>>48150525
a thudd gun with phosphex and shatter shell is 90 points, somebody taking 3-4 thudd guns is not uncommon. your meta must be pissweak
>>48150478
Do you think everyones army is nothing but artillery and phosphex? Unless you're coming up against the Ironfire no-ones bringing enough heavy firepower to wipe you off the board turn one.
Any Heavy artillery they do bring needs to become target number one, take javelins or jetbikes
>>48150585
>Typhon shooting at units that can't hurt it
>Using shatter shells on infantry
>>48150585
My meta consists of 2 WE, 1 EC, 1UM, 2 AL and me, a SoH player
20 man blobs are common and the most artillery anyone brings is the UM with 2 quad mortars
Just running with the theme of discussion, but is Ironfire a bit of a cock list to run? i have a Hammer list written out and expanding into ironfire is the logical next step, as none of the other rites really interest me.
>>48150327
It's hard to give an answer - it depends on how bent it is. I'd feel comfortable trying it, but I'd start with a hair dryer and a book (that can get a little dirty) to do the clamping.
>>48150545
Not him bt I used to play Black Templars and tried 3x15 footslogging squads and I can tell you from experience that it is fucking awful as you will reach assault by turn 3 IF AT ALL because your opponent will slaughter your shit as you run towards his line and if you ever reach him you will be so fucking depleted it wont matter.
I think World Eaters, much like BT, are kind of fucked not because of their rules but because their rules need them to be in close combat and getting into assault has been awful since 6th edition and that neuters them.
30k has some things that can help in that regard like using Vigilators to infiltrate/outflank large squads to assault turn 2/3 or dreadclaws to shove large squads down your throat and into your ass. WE need dreadclaws.
>>48150643
It's not that bad, there are some pretty hard counters for it, like massed heavy armour, or heavily mobile lists that can be meltabombing your artillery turn 2.
But it is a fucking badass rite to run, a rolling bombardment is metal as fuck.
>>48150616
>Do you think everyones army is nothing but artillery and phosphex?
everybody i play is running ether a typhon, 3+ thudd guns, multiple vindicators, 2 medusa or some combination of the above.
>>48150683
Shit man, actually feel sorry for you there, really shitty meta for a WE player.
Your only hope now is to become the cancer and run Crimson Path with Surlak and 20 man inductii squads in spartans.
>>48150683
I pity you
>>48150683
>outflanks behind your artillery
>unsheathes power dagger
Heh, nothin personal, kid
>>48150683
Smashing. Siege on my battle brother!.
>>48150706
nah crimson path is shit. i run 2 spartans with berzerker assualt. 10x terminators in a spartan, angron, praetor, 20x man in a spartan, and 2 10x mans in rhinos, + some other shit.
the 2 10xman squads in rhinos used to be 2x 20man blobs footslooging, but theyd never even see turn 3 so its pointless.
WE suck balls, the only way to run them is ether dual spartan, dual kharybdis, or dreadclaw spam, and even then i dont think WE are the strongest melee legion anyway, at least without berzerker assault.
>>48150727
Only Perturabo sieges.
>>48150425
http://menducia.atspace.com/primarchs/I.html
It's at least a decade old, but the newer fluff isn't contradicting much of it.
The numbers don't line up, and it isn't perfect but too good to be coincidence. Also, there are 22 cards in the Tarot's major arcana: the 20 primarchs in the middle, bookended by The Fool and The World. In this interpretation, The Emperor (the character, not the card) plays the role of The Fool, who's basically the protagonist of the story with a fatal flaw. The World is his great project.
>>48150683
Sounds like somebody needs to run an Armoured Breakthrough list with 4 Sicarans and at least 3 Laser-Vindis.
>>48150755
Why do you play them then? Legitimate question. Is it a lore thing? If so I commend you.
When will outriders be able to use nuncio-vox? I want to teleport my termies next to my drive by ganger
>>48150798
i played khorne chaos warriors in a game that no longer exists, so i like khorne.
also i like their color scheme/fluff
im going to be starting a NL army soon enough, for the same reasons. theyll probably fair badly in the meta too, but im going to run a few dreadclaws with sev and DS like 20 cataphractii all up in their shit.
>>48150766
So whats the difference between 'Siege Warfare' and 'Stronghold Assaults and Attack and Defense fortifications in extremis'?
>>48150875
I'm kidding, I am the same pedantic anon from a few days ago who made the same argument.
Its bait, sorry Anon Kun.
>>48150773
>>48150425
I'd also use Wikipedia to see what the cards actually look like. Some fit, others don't. In many cases you have to know a lot of symbols to get it.
>>48150837
Probably never, but you can take a siege breaker with a bike, and siege breakers come with a nuncio vox standard.
>>48150755
What if I run 1 Spartan 1 Kharybdis?
My meta is rather Mechanicum heavy...as a WE player myself, it hurts. Very robot heavy, lost of T7, and Scoria. I've only played at 2000 pts, but even as my lists grow I'm really just spending too damn much on transports. I can't even run my Leviathan, which I love because it's such a great model, without really gimping my infantry ability because transports are a good 1/4 of the list, and then a 300 dread (Admittedly, Contemptor-Cortus are a bit fluffier anyway and pretty effective so I'm going to start running those). I'm going to start using Assault Marines to try and counter that a bit, but those are godly expensive as well and can't take the Apothecary with them. Luckily there's no Typhons or anything yet.
It's tough to field a list that's both practical and fluffy for World Eaters, but I'm sure it's manageable. I've read that they were pretty into Speeders as well, which is good since I plan to grab some Javelins for outflanking lascannons. Plus, I'll have Angron soon, and that deathstar of Butchers alongside the 20 man Spartan party just might make me That Guy.
>>48151005
>I'm really just spending too damn much on transports.
yeah we are fucked since assault transports are 100% necessary. a 2500-3000 point WE list will have at least 700 points worth of transports, unless you run 5 dreadclaws. which would only work if you were spamming vets or some other high cost unit so its the same anyway.
>What if I run 1 Spartan 1 Kharybdis?
should be fine. just remember without berzerker assault or a chaplain WE blobs arent even that good in melee.
assault marines/rampagers are overcosted and many other legions do jump troops better than we ever can.
basically the only thing WE have going for them over other melee legions, is 20 man blobs with berzerker assault, but they are easily destroyed by the abundance of cheap pie plates in 30k.
without berzerker assault giving us hatred we arent even a top 3 melee legion imo. rage isnt that good, especially compared to SoH/EC/NL/BA/etc. overcharging the butcher nails is a double edged sword since itll kill 1/6th of your own unit, its like shitty counter attack.
>>48151178
>>What if I run 1 Spartan 1 Kharybdis?
>should be fine
That was kind of a joke desu.
In other news, fuuuck the Dreadnought Drop Pod. Shitty thing hardly stays together, and I had to greenstuff the bottom pieces because the large solid areas don't like sticking together. If I didn't find this band, I'd probably never keep it together. I'd hope I got all the agent out, I soaked it for a day and a half and then scrubbed it good.
>>48151322
I cant tell if it's the picture, but that turbine on top looks like it's pointing off at an angle
>>48151376
Fuck, you're right, good thing you noticed or I wouldn't have until it was too late
>>48151322
Do the doors open?
>>48151461
Yes, that part I at least managed. If the greenstuff manages to hold everything together I won't have to glue them shut to support that damned engine.
>>48151565
Ya did good, anon. Ya did good.

Help me /hhg/, what happens to a Glaive when a Venerator pens it, does the Volkite Carronade just ignore the snap firing or does it not fire ?
Never used PoTMS being a CSm guy so I'm not really sure how it works with cruising speed.
If I move my vindicator with a machine spirit at cruising speed do I get to fire the demolisher cannon at full BS?
>>48150766
Rogal Dorn walks up to the wall and deconstructs it so his breachers waltz through.
One is better than the other.
>>48150875
Strong hold assualts involve taking the stronghold, Siege warfare replaces it with a (sometimes irradiated) parking lot.
>>48150908
Ive been overlooking that forever, I even fielded one a few times. Tank hunter bikes and now no scatter termies, I think I'm in love
Upvoted
>>48151890
It's only tankhunter for the heavy weapon shooting of the attached squad, so take multi-melta jetbikes for maximum SYNERGY
>>48150875
Seige typical involves bombaring the fort for weeks while cutting them off of supplies. After the defenders are shell shocked, sleep deprived, starving, and dehydrated only then did the Iron warriors start to paint the outsides of their walls a pretty super human red
>>48150270
So the TT matches the lore
>>48151945
I already ran that and ussually gave a majority of them power weapons. Typically shit works out real well minus few times the squad bit it on the first couple of turns.
>>48152026
Jetbikers can't take power weapons though? Or are you referring to Outriders?
>>48152071
Outriders, I tried jetbikes but they weren't tough enough for the points I sank into them
>>48152096
Fair enough, looking at what I said before the Siege breaker gets tank hunter on all of his attacks, not just his Heavy wep shooting, so he could have Tank Hunter Meltabombs, which is some scary shit when you think about it.
>>48151739
Weapons that do not roll to hit or hit automatically cannot be fired as snap shots.
>>48150301
Someone pls reply I want to go to bed :(
Got a sweet template set off of ebay. Check em.
>>48152313
Cut ten points elsewhere and bring a Sicarian
>>48152371

Congratulations anon, you win the secret prizeIt's nothing there is no prize
>>48152371
Follow up question: Are sponsons worth it on the sicaran? And if so, which ones?
>>48152326
That's are pretty huge, what're you going to spray it on?
>>48152492
If you're strapped for points, not really. If i have less than 60 points free at the end of a list, i'll buy them, but otherwise skip
>>48152553
Sounds good, I'm just a bit worried that with one bad penetrating hit it'll be gunless
>>48152553
what about sponsons on Predators with the standard cannon? I kinda wanted to build them with heavy bolters just so that a weapon destroyed doesn't neuter the whole tank automatically.
>>48152593
Personal preference really, and meta. How often will you be receiving a pen without being totally wrecked just from HP loss? Near me everything antitank is either HSS/Havocs with lascannons or big stompy things with chainfists, which means anything that gets hit is going to die, so i keep them cheap. If you think theres a risk of weapon destroyed without dying, and you have the points, try it out and make your own decision.
>>48152503
It's templates for blast, large blast, and flamers. Funny thing is I actually have a lot more use for them in 40k than 30k, but it's still my legion and I have a few weapons to use them with.
Which Primarch brings the most on the table for his value?
How would you rank them?
>>48153421
In-game?
>>48153454
Yes.
Would Predator Tanks with the Command Tank special rule for 25 points (24 inch reroll morale) be better than giving Tac Squads Vexillas since they act as mobile Vexillas? Also I'm starting to think that sponson Heavy Bolters on Predators are useless and sponson Lascannons are too expensive.

Does someone need a copy of the Lecticio Divinatus?

>>48154426
Nah, you can't get pregnant from masturbation.
>>48154541
Cool. Do me next. Why do I hate Dorn?
>>48154602
This is going to be challenging. You hate Dorn because of an apparent "lackluster"? Or because you're an IWfag?
>>48154575
>>48154541
No sense hating on femanons. It's a special kind a woman to browse these boards, any one of us would be lucky to have her as our own.
I salute you Femanon!
>>48154640
Mate, don't white knight. We've had at least one other femanon on here as well, and neither comment seemed to have any sort of hostile intent to trigger you.
>>48154575
Wait, so if I can get pregnant from selfcest, does that mean I really am also the senpai and not just an r63?
>>48154698
Nah, you misunderstand.
R63 + your senpai = Selfcest.
R63 = masturbation.
See?
>>48154636
I hate Dorn because I am a member of the Iron Warriors MASTER RACE. (Also because only one of them does sieges AND fortifications...)
>>48154696
I'm kidding, Femanon's turn me on.
>>48154640
I don't hate Curzefag. I'm just explaining the reason she hates Dorn and the IF.
>>48154730
Figured so.
>>48154712
But I am the senpai?
>>48154730
>Femanon's turn me on.
Well, that's an odd fetish.
Were you here when mama anon was celebrating?
>>48154640
>>48154730
literally the cringiest poster ive ever seen on hhg
>>48154783
Probably not, to explain in detail, I find the propensity for Femanon's to be promiscuous fairly high due to the low volume of them existing within the community. In my mind Femanon = Nerdy Girl/woman who is probably also kinky.
My perspective.
>>48154802
Shrug, I'm fairly open from time to time. The internet is a place of judgement due to conflicting ideas and backgrounds.
>>48154636
A little bit of column A and a little bit of column B. Anon knows his shit you guys.
>>48154779
Nah, you're still r63, and your senpai is still the senpai.

I'm honestly surprised Dorn is viewed as lackluster, his Legion's accolades are ranked alongside the Ultramarines in mention and he is entrusted with perhaps the singular most important task during the Heresy, fortifying the Imperial Palace.
That's before mentioning the turmoil of leaving active duty during the Hersesy to complete his task.

Anyone else find upgrade kits for their legion specifics to be stupid and annoying? I mean shit, AL Headhunters cost more than terminators because you need to order tactical squads as well.

Wew. Wouldn't be a magical realm if there's only 18 of them, right?
So wtf is the "first inter-legion civil war" referenced in whirlwind scorpius description? Lost legions or just weird name for Horus Heresy?
>>48160938
Where's the actual rule that says you can't buy special characters extra equipment that they otherwise qualify for? You certainly could do so before 3rd edition and you only can't do it in 40k because they don't have options at all.
>>48161018
Given how some characters have wargear options, like Eidolon and Abaddon, one would think named characters come as they are unless they have explicit options.
But I honestly don't know, and IIRC the red book doesn't say anything either for or against it.
>>48161067
Those characters also have those options because they're specific to that character, there's still no actual prohibition against them taking generic legion equipment that they would otherwise be qualified for.
>>48160962
Maybe the first inter-legion civil war refers to the Horus Heresy and the second is the war between the traitor legions subsequent to the scouring.
>>48161018
>>48161067
>>48161096
the problem is that we use 40k rules along side 30k rules. in 40k is says in the codex. But in out Red books, it dose not. So RAW yuo can take the war gear. BUT RAI no you can't. A friend of mine has even e-mailed FW in the passed about this.
>>48161189
>RAI
That's somewhat of a stretch in this case, since they are upgrades for anyone in the legion qualified to use it. It's not a stretch to say it's fine to buy a power dagger for the most well known commander in the AL when even sergeants get power daggers
>>48157641
Why is he suddenly stronger than Ferrus Manus, the strongest Primarch lore wise?
He is going to be S 7 T 6. Like Horus. Might be a better fighter (so WS 8 or maybe an Agron matching WS 9, but I doubt it). Sword will be mastercrafted, either flesh bane, or plus 2 strength. Will come with an inferno pistol in all likelihood. Bubble of fearless and furious charge. Might be some deep strike shenanigans, and jump infantry.

Isn't it kind of that although they're adaptable and probably the most capable of operating independently, their tricksy nature causes the Alpha Legion to work at cross purposes, as exemplified by all the schemes within schemes. They need the direction of one of their primarchs in order to effectively put all their efforts towards the same plan, and even when the primarchs are involved, they would appear to be unable to commit to a single goal, what with Alpharius and Omegon seemingly winding up on different sides of the Heresy (or not, who knows?). In battlefield terms, that plays out with them benefitting most from having a primarch on the field in order to weave all of their individual cunning plans into a single, greater, whole.
>>48161491
Dat banshee ass tho.
>>48161598
She knows about it and is fine, I'm not worried about getting "cut off" or anything (although while it's still my money, I'm going to avoid mentioning just how much I'm spending), I just spend a *lot* of time on it, play a lot of games, etc which I'll now have to redistribute onto her. We've been long distance for a long time so I'll just have to get used to it. Small price to pay for her.

What cards are the Primarchs then?
HHgen, I want some advice I'm having a crisis of faith (pun intended). I just read The First Heretic and man it seems like Word Bearers are cool.
On the other hand I like alpha Legion, like the hydra theme and power daggers and shit. But trying to read Legion is just a slog - way too many overly exotic names thrown at the reader, way too much psyker shit (considering in other books the astartes barely know about psykers and now there's a whole planet of chaos sorcerers raining warp fire to blow up tanks) and the Cabal seems like the stupidest idea ever.
I feel like Alpha Legion gets no good fluff. At least Word Bearers got a good book, hell I could see a force that worshiped Cyrene (what did they call her the Crimson Lady?) as a minor god.
What should I go with?
>>48162150
Read the Night Lords omnibus and embrace the VIII Legion.
Look what finally arrived from Wayland!
>>48162150
>What should I go with?
You said almost nothing good about the AL, so the decision is pretty clearThe IW, have faith :^)
>>48162150
I found Deliverance Lost gave a much better impression of the Alpha Legion and how they think & operate than Legion did. Maybe give that one a go and see how you like the AL afterwards?
If you're not convinced, it also doesn't have the stupidity of an army unit where each company has its own waifu as commander like Legion did.
>>48162195
>>48162150
And then read the short story Iron Fire and realize the IVth legion was the one you never knew you wanted.
GW the fuck is with these prices?
>>48162220
>it also doesn't have the stupidity of an army unit where each company has its own waifu as commander like Legion did.
I actually didn't mind that part, I liked seeing that military orgs from before the Unification continued to exist and hadn't been completely dismantled. It gave the Crusade a more hodge podge feel like Emps just found everyone who could marshal guys with guns and sent them out.
I'll check out Deliverance Lost.

>don't know about sorcery
Legion happens way late in the crusade, nearly Isstvan when the traitors were all now well aware of Sorcery. That and it's not like AL of all legions wouldn't know about it.
Anyway, legions pretty good, it's just a very Dan Abnett novel. Which means it's going to be fairly creative with its world building but it won't subscribe to your head canon at all. Still a good read, it really establishes the professional "we're in control and everything is according to plan" feeling of the AL
Also the actual FW Horus heresy books have plenty of good AL fluff although it's mostly about the shunned assholes of the legion

>>48162256
It was a neat idea, but the unit itself was fucking stupid. There's a xkcd about how many words an author is allowed to make up before it gets ridiculous, and Legion had too damned many. He never really explains them, either. I'm still not entirely sure what the 'scept is, if it's a mind control, suggestion, or psychic vox, what kind of range it has, what exactly it can do, and if it's supposed to be short for something given that apostrophe. I'm also not sure what the fuck "geno before gene" means since they're all related to each other by the uxors anyway. I liked Legion in general, but the best part about it was when I finished and would never have to read that stupid motto ever again.
>>48162281
With the current price of the Pound it's cheaper to buy Forge Worlds legion specific terminators than the GW ones.
>>48162247
>>48162261
Well it's HH, ergo something out of the ordinary for the average consumer.
As a matter of fact, before I ended up on /tg/ FW was more the stuff of legend than an actual store to me. For people who are not ultra fans, it is the opportunity to get "special", 30k stuff. Hence the price.
Not saying it's right, but I gues that's how they thought. And the supper offer that was BaC couldn't last forever after all.
>>48162281
Do you have the list of what comes afterwards?
