New Battle Sisters sculpts:
Damn, I guess it was too much to hope for that they were moving away from boobplate. :-/New Battle Sisters sculpts:

Yeah, seems like it.
At the very least it seems like the Retributers are gonna have no boob plate so you could just use them to build your army instead and give them different weapons.
My hope is that these aren't more monopose models.
I finally got to use Sanguinius in a game of 30k last night. He. Did. Nothing. lol
Used his 1 use pistol on a contemptor and my mate made both invuln saves.
Soaked up an entire armies worth of fire to then die to a Boltgun during Overwatch...which required my mate to roll two sixes in a row (hit and wound). I then roll a 1 on the save.
Certainly didn't earn his 450 points in the game lol

I'm indecisive. Help me choose a color scheme 40k era. :-/
Oh damn, I love these, purple grey and turquoise/teal are my favourite colours.
Where did you get the template? I need to test out some colour schemes for my Death Guard before I commit to painting.
Also, can anyone tell me which books are worth reading to find out more about Nurgle/Death Guard lore?
I'm currently reading the First Heretic and didn't find it too interesting until about halfway through, now it's started to get good.
Yeah. I'm pondering how to convert these in some way to get away from the boob plate. My first thought is to file them down, and use something to cover the chest there in general.Damn, I guess it was too much to hope for that they were moving away from boobplate. :-/
I collected these back when Primaris were first announced. I think there was an official one GW put out and other people edited them so they were fillable with MSpaint, as well as adding variants.
Good god, people have gone into a frenzy regarding the new Sisters regarding wether they're monopose or not, they look great or not, blah blah blah. GW needs to hurry and release those because every teaser stokes the fires even more...which might be what GW is aiming for.
I have a feeling the ones they previewed recently are all monopose, but most likely because they're part of a new box set on the horizon. The actual model line will probably be not too dissimilar to what we got with the new CSM range release.
I mean it is canon that the miracles from the Sisters do not have anything to do with the warp.
They are truly blessed directly from the Golden One.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. As I said earlier I believe these are from a dual army set like Shadowspear or Tooth and Claw. I really doubt they wouldn't mark the release of something they've teased for over A YEAR with something along those lines.
The old old rumpur was that Sisters will never get a box since they would already sell like pancakes.
Thanks Geist!
Putting together a Plagueburst Crawler and I am missing one tiny wheel piece, guess there's no way of replacing it?
Also, it's crazy how much detail it has under the chassis, seems like such a waste!

I would certainly recommend contacting GW about the wheel. From the accounts I've heard they are fairly willing to replace missing or damaged models although I dunno what the process is like, if you have to take the faulty sprue into a store or anything. Also yeah its a very nice model but I would recommend you don't make my mistake and fully assemble it before painting. Getting the paintbrush behind the forward facing shunt and into all the details down by the treads is a complete nightmare.
The loss of the part was probably my own fault, I clipped all the parts from the sprue last week, cleaned them up and put them in a ziplock bag ready for assembly. Maybe I left it on the sprue accidentally. I will try contacting GW anyway, thanks.
And thanks for the advice, I haven't glued the top/shunt on yet thankfully!
Ahh, I getya. Hope you can get the situation sorted but if not you got options with Death Guard. You could leave the wheel off and paint it up as battle damage or general decay (perhaps taking a knife to scratch up the area a bit to make it look more natural). Failing that you can always get some green stuff and just cover any unsightly part of the models and sculpt that into Nurgley growths. Green stuff and Nurgle vehicles go together like a house on fire, you can get insanely complex with it but even super simple techniques can get some mega nice (and completely gross) results.
Converting combi meltas is really fun guys and not at all time consuming... The pains I will go through to make my Blightlords silly. They hunting monsters.
Thanks, yeah I bought some green stuff to do exactly that as the two tanks I have don't look anywhere near Nurgly enough for my liking, I've never used it before but as you say, even mistakes can be made to look like decay.
Seen that there are some very nice Rhino conversion kits too but they are quite expensive.
Hah it can be a pain sometimes, i've taken to using gel superglue and scoring the hell out of the contact sections to make sure the superglue gets a strong bond
Just got that too! Wow!
I have always thought that the Inquistion would work best for a film, and that was based off the terrible Ian Watson books, whilst they were terrible the world building was top notch. I only read the Eisenhorn books this year, and I thought they were fantastic, basically everything the Draco books should have been.
So yeah it really is the best choice (though I do need to read the rest of Ciaphas Cain books)

The only problem I ser is tha the Inquisition is probably the most crazy and a dangerous thing to play straight.
I just got the new repulsor executioner. I was looking at the datasheets at the end of the assembly instructions and noticed a different damage table on the english datasheet compared with the other languages.
On the english one the movement goes from 10" at full wounds to 5" and then to 3".
On all the others it starts at 12" then 6" then 3".
Have GW commented on this? Its a pretty big difference

So I just finished the 3rd book in the Horus Heresey series and as I understand the next books no longer advance the story in chronological order.
Because I don't really have the time or the motivation to read the next 50 odd novels I wanted to ask which ones come recommended by you guys and which ones are a necessary read for the continuation of the story.

I struggled with this as well.
The 4th and 5th follow on from the initial 3 and are worth a read. 5th takes place before, during and after.
After that either, jump to the solar wars which is the start of the end of the series (I think from now on they are suppose to be chronological); or pick a character/event you are interested in and follow their storyline - eg First Heretic > Know no fear
Although that's sort of true, they do roughly form a narrative going forward, just overlapping more and more generally. A few do go backwards.
For what it's worth book 4 (Flight of the Eisenstein) starts slightly before the other books to establish it's characters, but generally moves past that quickly and continues the story of the first three directly and is the book that clearly shows what happens next.
I've been going through all of them, and there really is a lot of filler
However Legion, Fulgrim, Prospero Burns I remember fondly. I cannot remember if A Thousand Sons was any good though.
The White Scars books Scars and the Path of heaven were good
I did enjoy Pharos, but that kinda needs a whole lot of backstory to get there, and the books it links to are not really that interesting.
Oh I believe the Damnation of Pythos is one of the worst books I have ever read, so read that and let me know if I am being harsh At its best it is the most filler of all the books
Honestly the way they developed the story is a bit of a mess, why they didn't keep it simple with each legion having their own story line leading to the siege of Terra, that would have been grand. They could have had as many books as they have now. They just would have been more focused, which I would think would have made them better.
This followed by Know No Fear, then Betrayer is about as good as HH gets. Buckle up!
I think no one around here went for one of those. You may want to ask around on Dakka or BoLS. The 12' then 6' then 3' sounds more likely to me, though.
Thanks. I actually mailed GW directly on it. I should have an answer in 24 hours.
I'll post in here once they come back to me
This is what I was about to say. Good times ahead and you can't really go wrong with Dembski-Bowden and Abnett.
I'm looking forward to 5-10 years down the road when 40K is mainstream, and I can tell everoyne
Do not skip Flight if Eisenstein. Fantastic book, and it fits snugly in with book 3 that you should read. Before you jump around, I highly suggest you read it first as events unfold in that book at same take as book 3, and then go past them a bit. You might be a little hazy on details if you skip and come back to it later.
I got a reply back from GW. The English one is the correct one. It's 10" / 5" / 3" for anyone interested
Is there a thread where I can post a painted model for people to roast?
I just started painting again, had a break for 20 years so could use some feedback.
