Kahn's and the scars are really well fleshed his Horus heresy plot lines, he's interesting in that he's loyal to more anti-chaos than pro-emperor, he apparantly caught everyone one off guard when he remained loyal and proceeded turn the traitor supply lines into a total shit show.

Looking at picking up some recaster MK2 armor for my kill team. My napkin math says that the appropriate guns would be... Phobos or Umbra pattern Bolters.

But the Phobos bolters and Umbra guns that are available don't have hands attached.

Forge World sucks for pulling this shit, which I'm guessing was just to make them intentionally incompatible with GW products proper.

I'm guessing I can just use more modern arms, and it won't look too horrible. But that'll leave me with armless marines from another box.

just cut the hand off a more modern arm and use a bit of tamiyas. EZ PZ.

The Silent King model isn't as embarrassing as I feared it would be, but I still wish it was just the model and not a diorama.

Why isnt he wearing a death ask of Sanguinius?
On a serious note, I think the diorama is fitting. Since Pharaohs arent particularly known to foot slog. The triarch also being represented is a neat touch.
 
I'm not really that crazy about it. I don't hate it, but it simply isn't terribly memorable.

Ferrus is only known because Fulgrim cut his head off. Id argue that without that, Khan is more known because I have actually seen white scars players. I have never ever seen an ironhands player, even online.

I've got a buddy with a pretty kickass Iron Hands army. His Leviathan Dreadnought and Gorgon termies are a thing of beauty.
 
Late, but we did get a 40k movie. It was called Space Marine, and had Captain Titus of the 2nd wreck both an Ork WAAAAGH and a freshly ascended daemon prince. Oh, and the Blood Ravens got gifted a few Titans by a grateful AdMech for assisting in the defense of their forge world.
 
Ok, so like what the fuck is even going on with the void dragon now? For the longest time we thought it was the only unsharded Ctan. But now the silent king shows up after chilling for 65 million years and suddenly he just has shards of it? What was the thing the emperor put to sleep on Mars? Didn't he put that down in like, the middle ages?

Like the obvious answer that makes sense is that the dragon was only partially sharded and still is mostly intact on Mars. I just don't know if I like that, seems kinda sad that instead of one we now have none. The threat of it waking up also seems lessened, because I bet after we get 2 more loyalist primarchs, girly man and whichever other 2 we get I could believe taking on a sharded C'tan. It also takes away from one of the greater feats of the Emperor.

I guess a way that could be interesting is that it will serve another event of Necrons and the imperium teaming up if it does wake up. But even then that's a stretch since The silent king only really has a relationship with Dante and the blood angels. BUT that could also serve as a story point to introduce a loyalist fulgrim or serve to perhaps reintroduce sanguinius. But even then that's a stretch.

Thanks for coming to my red talk.
 
Quick question: Has anyone dealt with primer that still leaves marks days after it is supposedly dry?
Like when you're holding it and it still leaves some paint? It's annoying.
 
Are there any 40k authors on a par with Aaron Dembski-Bowden and Guy Haley? Ie have characters, themes and prose going a little beyond the bare necessary elements for a competent 40k story? I'm familiar with Abnett and while he's pretty good I wouldn't put him on the same level.

TBF, if it takes 3 primarchs to put down a C'Tan then it still doesn't take away how powerful The Emperor was.
Also: loyalist. Fulgrim. LOL.

C.S. Goto.

Haha, no, seriously, though. Chris Wraight is pretty good. Scars and Path of Heaven are some of the better Horus Heresy novels, and I've heard good things about his Watchers of the Throne series. Ben Counter's done some good work with the Grey Knights (plus he wrote The World Engine, which is fuckawesome and one of my favorite 40K books hands down). Robbie MacNiven hasn't written much, but his Carcharodons novels give a good look at what it's like when a Space Marine chapter's only guiding principle is "get the fucking job done no matter what."

Not as farfetched as it might seem, considering Fabulous Bill managed to clone an uncorrupted version of Fulgrim who retained all of the original's memories because of handwavy primarch plot magic. Clonegrim was horrified by what his original had done and vowed to atone for it, but Bile decided he couldn't risk Clonegrim going down the same path as OG Fulgrim, so traded him to Trazyn the Infinite for a stash of undamaged Crusade-era geneseed. As far as we know, Trazyn still has him somewhere in his collection. I don't think that GW would go that route, but I guess we'll see.

Thanks for these. Will check out The World Engine first.

He's come along way from the batch of Ferrus Manus clones he makes for Fulgrim to repeatedly fail at turning them to Chaos.

Good choice. It's a nice change of pace from most Black Library books in that it doesn't focus on any of the usual Spess Mehreen chapters (i.e. Smurfs, Angels, Wolves). Instead you get a Fists successor chapter with their own culture. There's some interesting character development for the Marine characters, things don't always go their way, and the Necrons feel like a legitimate threat.

He also made that clone of Horus that Abaddon killed, and apparently he wants to clone Guilliman, which would be absolutely hilarious.
 
As a custodian fag, watchers of the throne are kino. There is also some good minotaurs bits and a bit of IF in the second book. 2 minotaurs at one point before they die manage to latch on to a custodian and fold him in half like a paper clip. Also Moloc is officially the first Astartes to make a Custodian admit that they might be a little worried to fight him one on one.

Some batches of old vallejo primer have this issue. Also alclad II gloss black, before they fixed the microfiller formula, was notorious for coming off. What primer did you use?
