I've been trying to get this done for tomorrow, to take to my local store's birthday. Finally got it finished tonight. The base is really badly done but I'm planning on going back and tearing it apart to have a little away team of red shirtz/Evil Sunz on there.

That's absolutely fantastic! Love the colored uniforms you've got as well.
Lmao. I lost it at Beaming Technology. God, Orks are great. You need to enter this in some competitions.I've been trying to get this done for tomorrow, to take to my local store's birthday.

Thanks guys!
I wouldn't even know where to start to look for a competition to enter it into, but would love to get this, the Falcon, the Akira bike and the Viper mk2 displayed somewhere when the last one is finished.

Cheers guys!
Those Space Wolves are basically 'What if a whole squad was Ulfric the Slayer?' and I am entirely behind that.

The new Necromunda stuff from the Weekender looks cool:

Nurgle / Death Guard versus Sisters of Battle / Astra Militarum
Or how I lost and learned to not just throw lists together against the Imperium!
I was fielding Rotigus and another, unnamed Great Unclean One, complimenting several squads of Plague Marines, a Rhino, some Nurglings, some Plaguebearers, Daemon Princes, Foul Blightspawns, and a single Hellforged Leviathan. Mostly melee, it is true, but the Levi packs a punch and, in theory, the rest is disgustingly resilient. Maybe I can get in?
The opponent had a large squad of Sisters, Celestine, a Canoness, a Repressor, a couple of their Nod flame tank ripoffs, the Hellhound, a ton of Guardsmen….and a Vigilus detachment, the Emperor's Wrath Artillery company. His had 3 Basilisks and two Wyverns. That meant one could use a stratagem for one weapon to fire twice (Basilisks!) and also increased the AP of his shells.
The Chaos force's first mistake came almost immediately. The Leviathan opened fire on a Hellhound. The thought process was that the two hellhounds could rush and threaten the Leviathan and the Princes as they dashed forward….but more importantly, the Hellhounds were blocking part of the map to prevent the Great Unclean One and the Plague Bearers from exploding forth from the Warp and attacking the flank of the Imperial Guard and potentially rolling into the Basilisks. If a Hellhound died, the other one would advance, and maybe leave a hole….?
The Hellhound did die to sustained Butcher Cannon Array fire, as did a Guard scout walker that had moved up to prevent the Rhino from blitzing down the city street. The walker and the Hellhound died, but a mistake in deployment allowed a squad of Nurglings to charge through a building and get into melee with the Repressor!
The Repressor had a cargo full of Sisters with Meltas, unfortunately, and they hopped out and tried to work their way around the Nurglings. They, along with ALL the Basilisks and Wyverns, buffed by Harker, Catachan regiment, Emperor's Wrath buffs, and an Act of Faith to help the melta shots (max range, luckily for me), tore into the Leviathan. It withstood an impressive amount of fire, but fall it did with 750 points of units shooting into it.
The Chaos force responded. The Hellhound death and movement of the second allowed the Plaguebearers to drop in and attack. The Great Unclean One had to join Rotigus in the street due to his sheer bulk and they attacked. Supported by Rhino and Plague Marine suppressive fire, the force advanced, felling a Celestine who was too far forward and causing all of the melta Sisters to die. Celestine returned, however, and the Imperial response heavily hurt the Plaguebearers and shot down one of the two Daemon Princes.
Growing desperate, the Chaos force surged forward. A squad of 15(?) Sisters was blocking the street as Guardsmen surged forward behind them, eager to keep the Daemons away from the artillery company. They were blessed as the Sacred Banner of the Order Militant allowed their invuln to go to a 3++. It took a ridiculous amount of firepower to bring them down and just barely did the Nurgle force blow a hole to allow the Great Unclean one to charge the Repressor. Forgetting a rule prevented his melee attacks from destroying the Repressor, but at that point it was late and Nurgle conceded. 50-60 more Guardsmen were coming in to back up the devastated Sisters contingent and the artillery was about to open up on the massive Unclean Ones. Already losing by a few points and seeing it would be impossible to reach the artillery, there was no way for the Chaos force to succeed.
Except for the initial target selection of the Leviathan, I thought I did well, but the sheer number of tarpit units and the poor psychic rolls / SISTERS DENYING EVERYTHING prevented me from Nurgle Rotting my way through the horde.

The new models they've revealed look amazing. Love the snipers and the vanguard lieutenant. That chaos vehicle looks hot as fuck too.
I think I'm pretty much done with marines, though. Too many more interesting armies to put together for me to go back and add to my Blood Angela for a good long while. If I do, it'll certainly be these dudes I add to them.

The new models look interesting, curious what else is yet to be revealed to bulk out the Astartes side of that box set.
That Obliterator looks amazing - such an improvement over the old one. But enough heretical talk...
Love those Space Marines - I may buy a small handful to run as Deathwatch.
And another Sisters model... I cannot wait for the full release. It will get all my money.

To be honest I don't enjoy the tacticool elements they are bringing to my (lol) space marines. Even though the minis look cool I feel like they are a little generic - like from a different game or 3rd party. I really hate the camo on the backpack lol.
I wish they'd make marines more warrior monks and less operatives if you know what I mean.
A backpack swap and a different paintjob might look better.
At least the Sisters look like they are keeping it gothic.

If there are Primaris Marines now, are there also Primaris Scouts? What differentiates them from normal Scouts if so?
There aren't Primaris Scouts in the sense of older-style Space Marine Scouts - these new guys are full Marines rather than new recruits in training, they remind me of the Legion Reconnaissance Squads of the Great Crusade and Heresy eras:

So thats what the cool Marines with the cloaks were. So they're just normal Marines given sniper rifles and then called Scouts? Sounds redundant. Wouldn't it be easier to just give normal squads the option to equip a sniper rifle?
The normal Scouts look at least light enough to be convincing, but full armored Space Marines stealthing around behind enemy lines? Yeah thats stretching it a bit.
Hope the snipers at least are different rule wise as to not make scouts redundant, but of course its clear they are trying to slowly replace the old line with new primaris versions.
That's why scouts don't wear full power armor, half of of their kit is just regular BDU's. Main reason why only scouts are typically the stealthy marines, the rest aren't equipped for it.

I know we're all focused on Sneaky Beaky Vanguard marines but I just wanna point out the small detail that the Chaos Marine on the left has a little skull with an open jaw over the "breach" on his Bolter, so when he fired it'll move back and forth like it's laughing.
I really love all the little tiny details on all these new ranges of models. They're unecesary but add so much personality and self awareness to them.
Nice! I like the pink finish. Rather than the usual bright redIn honour of the upcoming new Chaos goodies. I painted this best boy.
The Dreaded Ambull is up for pre-order next week :D

Awesome - I just got Blackstone Fortress for my birthday (along with a bunch of Ork stuff) so I look forward to this :)
That's cool, my group are starting our Blackstone adventures next month so we'll have the Ambull right there at the start. Few interesting things in that box contents picture if you squint. New sealed pack, ship token at the back and a pink version of the Ambulls hostile card. Logically I would say that is likely a stronger boss version of the Ambull but it would be cool if it's a neutral version of it that attacks anyone else on the board. This perhaps was avoided due to it making the game a little too complex and difficult to balance but I think it's a bit of a shame that the monsters don't infight in Blackstone. Always felt thematically odd having a group of Ur-Ghuls run through a group of Renegade Guardsmen to reach you when (unless I'm missing part of the lore) wouldn't they just turn on each other.
I'm sure everyone who's been on Reddit has seen it but in Italy a carnival is parading around this monstrosity;
It's supposed to be a satirical parody, as given by the writing on the sword "your problem", the giant claw, and that this is a specific thing they do every year were they mock politicians.
Problem is that it's not a very good parody as it actually looks legit impressive and the likes of Fox News and T_Donald have taken it as a straight up loving tribute.
I know we shouldn't bring politics into this group as we run that into the ground everywhere else on Era, but I think it's important to bring up as honestly, this is the most mainstream representation 40K is ever gonna get. When you mention 40K to someone who has never heard of it, this is the sort of thing they're midns gonna jump to. And that does not look good.

Quite a fail if that was intended as a mockery of Trump, dumb idea and he's not someone I enjoy seeing 40K associated with. The masses with no knowledge of 40K will likely see it as some kind of pro-Trump tribute, and his supporters among 40K fans will love it too. Can't wait for the Trump presidency to be over.

Better or worse, I think it's actually quite in-line with 40k lore and how people see it.
Intended to show Trump/The Imperium as utter xenophobic shitbags who make life hell for their people, yet idiots think they're the good guys.

If it matters to anyone it looks like they are putting out audiobooks again! Titandeath is on audible 2/16 and Corax's Primarch book snuck on there! Rejoice! I feel sort of bad for harassing them on instagram about it!
get that fucking thing outta this thread.
I have seen nothing but T_D attempting to ram that fucking statue into every 40k forum I have seen.
BOlterandchain sword has been purging the shit outta those posts, the 40k threads on reddit the same.

Yeah I noticed several locked threads on Dakka about it, and the main 40K Facebook group is deleting it too.
