The Codex was made to stop things like the Horus Heresy from happening again, which it did accomplish. With the only outliner being the Badab War, but only one of those chapters actually went rouge compared to the others.
Titus is a good ultramarine though, he don't give a crap about no Codex
can't the Nova-Terra Interregnum also be seen as somewhat of a civil war, obviously not on the scale as the Horus Heresy...but still a war within the Imperium?The Codex was made to stop things like the Horus Heresy from happening again, which it did accomplish.

It was not caused by any Space Marine chapter, but just people who hated the High Lords, like maybe Imperial governors or generals.can't the Nova-Terra Interregnum also be seen as somewhat of a civil war, obviously not on the scale as the Horus Heresy...but still a war within the Imperium?
You guys can't blame Roboute for the way the Ultramarines acted in the 40k, they totally misinterpreted what the codex was about
[My teachings] are yet flawed. No one, not even one such as I, can anticipate every possible outcome of battle. My words are not some holy writ that must be obeyed. There must always be room for personal initiative on the battlefield. You and I both know how one spark of heroism can turn the tide of battle. That knowledge and personal experience can only be earned in blood, and the leader in the field must always be the ultimate arbiter of what course of action should be followed.

Started putting together my tau kill team models and god, the xv25 minis are so boring. Every piece is mono-pose : the lower body is 3 slightly different spread legs arrangement, arms and weapons are all the same too. Super dissapointing.
I've also put together the mb3 drone and the 2 combat drones from the xv8 kit, those were easy and fun to do.
I really love the recon drone though, such an imposing mini. I think I'll have it sit on a piece of terrain on the base, it's super tall and top heavy and it gets worse when put on one of the clear plastic flyer base. I might do the same with the combat drones actually.
The Stealth suits are fairly monopose but you can do some interesting things with them. Weapons on different arms, antenna placement, etc. They're not as versatile as crisis suits but there are some options.
The recon drone is such a cool looking drone that is so useless in the main game lol. For whatever reason GW goes for the rule of cool with Tau sometimes.
I like the look of the Deathwatch army as a whole. Have you played any games with it yet?Picked up a Deathwatch starter box (the one with the Dreadnought in it)
Thinking about expanding out the army but I'm not sure with what
Thinking about some bikes and a Redemptor but I feel that these are both at the opposite scales of what I should be building toward
Not yet.I like the look of the Deathwatch army as a whole. Have you played any games with it yet?
Yeah, that's often worked for me over the years- way back when I played on a weekly basis, my friends and I were in a constant 'arms race' to surprise each other the following week. We'd often bump into each other in the hobby shop and laugh about having stumbled across secret plans :D I always remember being renowned for fielding a DA gunline primarily of tactical squads, dreadnoughts and a single terminator unit for melee, but had secretly been painting up extra Deathwing and Assault squads. When the time came to unveil the shock assault I'd been planning for months, according to the rules at the time (this is way back in the 90s), two thirds of them died in unfortunate teleport and scenery-based landing accidents. After that I took another route of expansion into the Ravenwing instead :DNot yet.
Which I should probably do before expanding it out too much, see what gaps need filling
I'm still absolutely pissed at the Stormsurge being the upgrade for the Hammerhead. I want my Tau Super-Tank damnit! Doesn't help that the stormsurge looks really dumb compared to the other Tau Super-Heavies.

Though I understand your desire for a massive tank and the Stormsurge does infuse look goofy, I am quite fond of the look of the Forgeworld Supremacy:
I've found supergluing a heavy coin on the bottom of certain top heavy models can stop them from tipping over. Though I wouldn't know if it would work on the recon drone.
Jesus is that a T'au titan?
Also yeah, I guess it would work on the drone but I mostly want to use that as well for an occasion to make a pretty base.
Forgeworld don't care about "miniature" sized
...or about your wallets for that matter...
The Manta measures 630mm/25 inches long and has a wingspan of 860mm/34 inches! Weighing in at 12.5 kilos/28 pounds, it weighs six times as much as a Thunderhawk Gunship, and that is before we put all the tanks and Battlesuits inside.
They still sell the Manta:
Don't think they've sold anything bigger AFAIK
I've been reading Cadian Honor, and slab is mentioned a lot as a food item. I have no idea why, but I need to know about what slab is.
Sounds like a cheap food ration.
What I love about Guy Haley's Devastation of Baal is that the other 'marine conquests' books pretty much exist only to introduce Primaris to the DA, Wolves and Ultramarines. Meanwhile, the Blood Angel one acts as a sequel and character piece expanding from Dante, from the Shield of Baal storyline, advances the setting for a dozen or more chapters, gives a reasonable amount of suspicion of Guilliman from Seth (Flesh Tearers CM) and pretty much adds in 'yeah Primaris' right at the end. By the look of it he's got another Dante sequel out at the end of the year that will presumably focus on 'Primaris settling in to replace massive casualties/Dante's new job'.I've been reading Titandeath and while it's not the best book, it's quite enjoyable in a way.
The way it describes what it's like for a titanpilot to sort of sync into the machine like a more bloodthirsty Pacific Rim 'drift' is really unique. The books very clearly rushed but he's also very clearly taking a concept and just going with it, whether it sticks or not.
Guy Haley is slowly taking over as my favourite author. A lot of his stuff is pretty strong, but even when his stuffs bad, it's at least committed to an interesting concept.
Can we all agree that Nick Kyme is dire? Real shame he (allegedly) blocks everyone else writing about the Salamanders
I have been trying to catch up on the Heresy books, and his books + damnation at Pythos has made it quite the slog
That's a shame if true, the Salamanders are my favourite chapter so far. Would love more novels about them from other authors.Can we all agree that Nick Kyme is dire? Real shame he (allegedly) blocks everyone else writing about the Salamanders
Is it ok to read just the Salamander books or does it require more of the HH books to be read? I've avoided the HH series so far as it seems a bit daunting with so many books.Serule said:Salamanders have at least three books dedicated to them in the Horus Heresy series (most/all are by Nick Kyme) + one of the Primarchs books is about Vulkan.

What better way to celebrate an entire day dedicated to the Warhammer hobby than with the release of the first model from one of the most hotly anticipated miniatures ranges in years?! As well as the awesome new miniature, the Sister Superior Amalia Novena set includes an A4 art print of the original Karl Kopinkski artwork, and a Warhammer 40,000 datasheet for a Battle Sisters Squad, including the profile for a Sister Superior.
Pretty sure this is a universal truism.
So Prime1, maker of ridiculously big and equally ridiculously expensive statues is making a Sister of Battle and it seems to be based on this : http://archive.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?195559-Sister-of-battle-(-warhammer-40k-)-fan-art
Emperor have mercy on our wallets.
That's the Imperial Truth right there.
