Aka, riddled with errata & relying on presencial witnesses?

>>51153284

Well, this book deals with the Space Wolves and the whole 'Emperor's Executioner's' Schick, plus Magnus and whatever wrong he did or did not do.

There's a lot of room for arguments. FW might back up Magnus, or put more weight behind the Wolves as Executioners, either of which will generate Skubstorms aplenty.

The scanbegging will be annoying, and it will never end now that Scanon has lost access to his equipment.

None of the lore will really be new, so we'll be arguing over nuances that were deliberately left open to interpretation and our own preconceived notions. But at least we'll be able to stop debating the size of these two legions and we'll have rules for them. A lot of fans on both sides are perfectly fine and I'll be happy to see them build up fully painted armies. Don't make things worse by treating them like their legions' worst fans (and I'm talking more about the SW than the TS, simply because they have such a large fanbase).

I do worry about psychic powers and balance under the current rules. And I worry that FW's pace is so slow when there are still three legions (not including SW and TS) waiting for the full treatment.

What were the latest rumors about Prosperine Guard? Magnus may have done something wrong, but the people of Prospero certainly didn't.

>>51153571

Spireguard are something I desperately want, but from what I've heard, we're not getting anything for them except perhaps some recoloured Solar Auxilia. Which is a fucking shame if that does happen. I have an entire Spireguard Armoured Company I want to build.

>>51153182
Aren't Salamanders storm shields limited to terminators?

>>51153392

Tartaros might make sense for those Termies, but the list looks alright. I'd consider dropping the Spartan and Sicaran to put everyone in Dreadclaws or Kharybdises since they're going to draw so much fire as the only two vehicles on the ground.

So I want to start Mechanicum (Reductor) and my friend has loaded up with a fuck-ton of Death Guard thanks to a windfall, lucky sod. He has Calth, Mortarion, 5 Deathshroud, 5 Grave Wardens, the Primus Medicae and a Land Raider Achilles.

How the fuck do I take that down with a smallish army? I'm planning on min Thallax, 40 Adsecularis orso and a little artillery, plus maybe a Lightning. I have a few models I can use as Magi. Death Guard seem to have pretty much every weakness I have in liberal amounts. I also will have a Knight magnetised up soon, if that would help.

Fair enough. So yeah 3 T 5 wounds with a 2++/3++, eternal warrior, and either FnP 4+ or IWND and eternal warrior. Fucker could probably kill Alpharius or Lorgar in single combat.

On the topic of legion warlord traits this is my idea for Emperor's Children

1. Peerless Champion
The warlord has preferred enemy characters

2. Lightning Strikes
All emperor's children infantry units add an extra D3 inches to their run moves and charge distances

3. Prideful Warriors
Units gain stubborn during assault phases

4. Degenerate Savages
All models armed with sonic shriekers gain feel no pain

5. Bile's Creations
One Emperor's Children unit gains rage and furious charge

6. Flawless Precision
Write down a number and keep it hidden. On the turn number written on that paper the entire army counts their ranged weapons as twin-linked

Might be excessive but nothing to the same level as the super salamander.

>2. Lightning Strikes
>All emperor's children infantry units add an extra D3 inches to their run moves and charge distances
Holy shit, that's OP, maybe if it was just the Warlord's unit it'd be alright.
>3. Prideful Warriors
>Units gain stubborn during assault phases
>4. Degenerate Savages
>All models armed with sonic shriekers gain feel no pain
>5. Bile's Creations
>One Emperor's Children unit gains rage and furious charge
Y'know these are supposed to be traits of the Warlord, not his army?
>6. Flawless Precision
>Write down a number and keep it hidden. On the turn number written on that paper the entire army counts their ranged weapons as twin-linked
I like this one.

>>51153778
I've always liked metallics for rigid armour and nonmetals for soft armour and clothes.
I personally would like a Vostroyan colour scheme so bronze for the rigid armour and red for the clothes.

>The Garro book has small extra bits added to fix canon inconsistencies and smooth some conversations and the stories are set in the 'correct' order
>Someone mentions that Garro was on Isstvan V
>He hasn't been there yet in the new order of stories

Great work top notch

How will the paragraph that gives SW access to chain-axes be worded?

>>51153864
Planning on dropping some S10 ordnance on that Land Raider, try to shake it down and slow it for the Thallax to pick away at it with those Lance weapons. Try to tarpit Mortarion with Thralls? That might work if I stretch the squads out. Terminators I can probably handle, powerful as they are.

Was there meant to be a bit more to your point? :)

Oh, now I'm totally painting my Solar Auxilia in Black Mesa Hazard Suits.

It will be unarguably Free.
WE will still be stuck with ambiguity for at least 3 more red books.

>>51153571
The secret in the TS / SW arguments is that the majority of TS players don't give a fuck and some even like the SW as the yin to their yang.
Probably about the same amount of SW players feel the same way, but the fact there are more SW players and a lot of them are obnoxious tends to drown out the reasonable groups on both fanbases.

Which makes sense. People drawn to the TS would have to be fine with always being the losers and getting shat on (but with that glimmer of hope) and people drawn to the SW would have to be into the whole braggart muh thing.

>Kek, so I made this 3++ Stormshield and Mantle of Eternal Warrior out of the very same salamander! And I've still got the bones left so I mastercrafted my Thunder Hammer basically for free!

Eh...
Then we have Angron wearing 3+ armour and Mortarion's 2+ Barbaran Plate being worse than an Ultramarine Praetor's Mantle of FnP

But it's alright. It could be like the Iron Warriors, an offensive siege legion who gets a defensive helmet and no useable legion-specific weapon

>>51154081
Spireguard have been described in normal and cold weather issue as crimson coated/great-coated with silver helms/shakos and gold/brass frogging and details.
Basically Thousand Sons colours. I think Vostroyans could be converted well, Steel Legion would have worked without the rebreathers.
I might look into other game system models with some GW/FL bits.

>>51154309
Fenris survived and the Sons got routed but a lot of the tribes got killed or infected by chaos mutation.
The loss for the Wolves, aside from a minor fluff character, was that they lost a large chunk of their recruitment pool.
The loss for the Sons was that they, well, lost. But they used the 'energy' unleashed by a world in the Fenris system being exterminatus'd to shift the Planet of Sorcerers into realspace or some shit.

>>51154430
>>51154347
Well...considering there are but a mere thousand-ish Space Wolves left because Magnus had already fucked up the successor project, the Burning of Fenris had already happe-
...
Wait, the Thousand Son LEGION, the one that needed to be unaware that Custodes, Titans, Sisters of Silence and a full legion was coming for them, the ones who dismissed almost their entire diviner corps and whom were fucking sabotaged by Magnus himself, and even then weren't destroyed and inflicted Heavy Losses™, they weren't able to defeat a mere CHAPTER?

Did the Dark Angels ft Grey Knights show up to their aid or something?

>>51154410
We get one of us to do it then. It sounds like a horrible idea but could it be any worse than what we have now? It's not like we'd add all of this general's in jokes and everything to BL.

>>51154430
Adding on to this, why did they transported Sortiarius to realspace? So the Imperial Navy can Exterminatus the fuck out of it now that it isn't protected by The Eye?

>>51154452

That shouldn't be too hard. Just point a Navigator in the right direction and if he mentions anything about screams and agony you're going in the right direction. It isn't rocket science.

>>51154452
Both the DA and the GK showed up to help actually.
But the Dark Angels got played by the Changeling a fair amount, resulting in that world being blowed up. The Changeling then went on to try and get to Luther and/or the Lion but got chased off by the Jawas.
>>51154480
Fuck knows dawg. They shifted it into the Prospero system, which the last it appeared in fluff in any major way (admittedly in like M32 or something) was interdicted as fuck by the Inquisition. They did bring a stable warp rift with them around the planet, so I think the idea is that they can now come and go into realspace without any hassle?
Kind of like a tiny tiny maelstrom.

Although considering the Cadian Gate just got BTFO, I dunno if that really makes a difference.

I second the bronze with green visors.

I'd avoid using warm colors for both the metal AND the cloth so don't use brown. I'd use a relatively bright bronze or brass for the metal over a cool, slightly desaturated (i.e. add gray) dark color for the cloth. Color theory says green and bronze are close together, with purple on the opposite side of the color wheel - so purple's your third color.

Whether the cloth is desaturated purple or desaturated green is up to you. I think they have two levels of cloth under the plate armor.

The lens color (bright green, but you could use bright purple too) will be a spot color and you should try to use it in three spots arranged in a triangle. Eyes and hands, or eyes, weapon, and some other location. Other details, like the gorget aquila, should be in the desaturated version of the color you didn't use for the lenses.

>>51154304
No, but they didn't really coordinate between each other until GW hired Laurie Goulding to try to keep things consistent between all the different writers. As an example, FW made the legions bigger so later print runs of the older BL HH novels increased those numbers. Under Goulding, they mapped out what will happen to a lot of the named characters to avoid future canon conflicts, which means we should have fewer dead people coming back alive because some author wanted to use them again. Goulding's leaving to work in Hollywood (probably Star Wars, which certainly needs the help) but I think they've already planned out a lot of the details for the remaining years of the Heresy.

The whispercutter sounds like it's basically a frame to hang onto with some antigrav engines, so that's not far away from how a LSS works.

3 "Slightly embarrassed every time my name is mentioned."

I've had experience with being a namefag a very long time ago, and that experience was very negative once I found out how people see you as a namefag. So I've tried to make amends by shunning the spotlight at all costs. It helps that I'm forgotten in the vast spaces between book releases.

On a different note I've been looking at investing in a portable scanner. Quality is not great, but it will allow for better images then simple pictures and can ensure I can at least give semi-quality images of the rules from Inferno when it comes out.

5 years of doing this and it won't leave me alone.

I'm painfully aware whenever I'm scanning something that I'm breaking the law. I try and justify it by telling myself that FW will pick up the sales from elsewhere, and that a digital copy makes carrying it around and reading it easier. Still doesn't quite mask the hollow feeling though.

>>51156229
i dont rememberthe great namefag purge, is there an article on the wiki or something?

>>51156209

To get a Scananon, you need some who a) has enough money to buy all the books, b) is willing to destroy said very expensive books by slashing their spines, c) a really good quality scan engine and d) is willing to share it with ungrateful people on the internet who bitch for it constantly.

Those kinds of people must be few and very far between.

A lot, given that once we could have up to 100 unique posters, and now there's 30.

>>51156229
I had no idea there was a purge.
When I came around I had been posting in /out/ and to a lesser extent /k/ a lot, and there had been some comments about namefagging but it was mostly written off.
As I dismissed most of those comments I didn't realize it would grow into an attempt to dox me.

>>51156390
I've been to /k/ some times. Magical place. You cannot browse without finding a tripfag.
Or four.
Per thread.
And I don't know them, as an outsider I have no right to judge, but even /k/ doesn't seem to like them most of the time, the trips becoming an identifier almost entirely used to know who to direct the aggression against.
And then it's a tennis game where they go back and forth.
Some dude even has "despicable" on his name.
We didn't have that here.
I saw what Uni was doing and said "hey I want to contribute too", mainly because I had lurked for months and wanted to post silly paint images, and also because /tg/ lacks that identifier tag like /biz/ & /pol/.
But many asked questions that I knew the answers for, from the HH books, so I dedicated mostly to post excerpts and to dispel the "not fluffy" and "faction only" memes in a way I thought FW was implying through the books.

And before these, I didn't even know how to read statlines or what 40k was.
I simply saw Scananon's gift and was drawn in.

Melancholic personalities tend to self deprecate and reject praise, but the praise to the Scananon is a well deserved one.

Is Aximand the bringer of knowledge and illuminator of the Old Night?

>>51156723

>Let us speak of Little Horus, Little Horus Aximand. His aspect was the half moon, and his disposition, according to the humours, was inclining towards melancholia. This explained, many thought, his prevailing mood of sorrow and inner trouble, though he frequently denied it. ‘The melancholic humour is misunderstood,’ he said. ‘You think too literally. It has, in fact, the quality of autumn. It is the spirit of contemplative change, the accelerator of death, the enabler of ends and beginnings. Autumn clears away the world so that a new one may rise. This is my purpose. I am not sad.’

Each of the Mournival is one of the Humours. Aximands is Melancholic. Hence why I asked.

>>51156751
>the enabler of ends and beginnings
Huh, what do you know.

>>51156640
>but even /k/ doesn't seem to like them most of the time
/k/ is split between disliking trips, and not giving a fuck/trips, almost down the middle.
But it is at most, a mild dislike- they often just continue on talking about the threads topic. Well, they used to, I have seen a few 'get out trips, reeeeeee' threads in this last year.

>said "hey I want to contribute too"
That is exactly what I wanted to do, I just brought along the trip I had used in previous thread over.
>But many asked questions that I knew the answers forr
I try to only answer questions I know the answers to as well, I have spent many hours researching the fine minutia of random events and items from the hh universe.

>praise to the Scananon is a well deserved one.
All hail Scanon, he who is eternal.
I think that Scanon should be a name used by anyone who posts scans, so it transcends just the man.

Nah son, they explode, can lose weapons, and be stunned by normal AT weapons.

Many "truescale" minis lately.

Even though marines are 7 feet tall, even Custodes are just barely taller. Can't deny Big Marines™ look good.

So how the fuck do I transport these guys anywhere? Same shit with the Macrotek and Servo-automata. I feel like just picking them up is gonna break them. I have no idea how they gonna survive the trip to my car, let alone the local store.

>>51159239
>I feel like just picking them up is gonna break them
Ooooh IRL.
I was going to propose some Triarii...

Briefcase filled with foam with holes carved in for each individual mini? So they don't clash with each other when you move it.
Maybe add some sort of plastic marbles to each hole, but that's prevent you from opening the briefcase in the vertical position. Which you shouldn't anyway.

>>51159092
Not related to truescale, but I'm still a bit disappointed that the BoP Custodes didn't get glorious capes for the entire squad (and yet SoS did), when it's always been a key part of their aesthetic. It makes the models look really top-heavy and unwieldy.

>>51159239
Cardboard tube, wider than the model, cut to height, with padding on the bottom, walls, and top, with a cut foam insert you apply onto the model before putting into each little cut tube.
Should be pretty secure.

>>51159325

Yeah, I realized that it could be misconstrued after the fact.

>>51159356

Sheeit this is pretty tight. May take some time and building, but should be possible to make a scyllax storage tube.

So, two of your three squads are in a Caestus that will start on reserves (is that even legal), and you start the game with only two tanks?

You think the Emperor has a special wolf head signal he shines through the astronomican to summon Russ to his aid when some motherfucker needs executing?

>it feels forced you know.

Well, it sort of was. I remember Abnett and friends talking about why the Emperor would keep something like the SW around and figured maybe they were used to take out other legions.

Holy shit my sides.

>>51154228
To be fair the RG sword also makes wounds count double for the sake of combat res and you don't need to attack with it to cause it. So you could lose combat and still lend up winning.

Of course it looks like shit, you fat fuck, these new "artscale" "conversions" that every other newfag seems to be loving are just half assed, at least some people use green stuff and actual converting skills to make their dudes more believably proportioned rather than just big™.

Have you even thought about how are you going to model your terminators when your linemen are just huge?

Relics are in HH6, iirc.

Yes.

Only if it is a dedicated transport for the unit with scout, and said unit is inside it

I wasn't surprised, not after they passed up the opportunity to make a generic version of the Bullock jetbike in favour of ribbed for her pleasure.

>>51160113
Also, just because it is easier to do than a wholly custom model doesn't make it half assed.

You're the kind of person who would have resisted the car by saying anyone who wants to go faster than a horse is just lazy and impatient

>>51160195
Just because it's not surprising doesn't make it disappointing.

>>51160189
The truth lies somewhere in between.

I think they're an interesting experiment to show what Marines made properly proportional to regular humans look like, but they're not the same as "proper" marines and you can't really make an army of them.
And GW are never ever going to re-scale their entire marine range, both because it'd be a hassle for them, and because it would trigger the fuck out of the OCD of every pre-switch player and give their small marines a gameplay advantage.

>>51160290

Prepare your anus, it's going in dry.

>>51157453
haha thats fucking hilarious

>>51160281
If you use the normal bases for each unit, and use the simplified method, it is easy to get a small army up to snuff.

>>51160255
Just grab your rulebook, look up Scout under special rules and read it yourself : Scout is only conferred to dedicated transport if the unit they belong to is inside it and has Scout. Litterally zero room for any other intrepetation there.

>>51157453
It's ironic given that the Liege's gene-seed makes them prone to forming hive minds of their own.

>>51160290
Never. Because why make something awesome when you can make steel donuts?

>>51160259
The problem with truescale marines is that people make them XBOXHUEG in a heroic scale game, as well as marines being 7', and not 8-9' like how truescaling makes them. Going by an approximation, that SA would only reach the marine's shoulder at most, which is wrong.

>>51160330
Thanks for the explanation, I'm phoneposting so the only thing I hav access to is the brief rules reference.

>>51160267
Never said it does. In fact, when you expect disappointment, that's when you really know something's off.

>>51160290
Jokes aside, I figure that the Bullock might a model when FW remembers that the White Scars exist, and gives them proper rules.

>>51160358

FW will definitely do a Custodian Jetbike, and that's very different from the Dildobike.

>>51160281
The main issue is that almost all the human models GW makes are rediculeously large, not that the marines are small.
And most if not all 'trooscale' fanatics also make their marines way too large, to the point where human models have their head at ideal dick-sucking height rather than somewhere below the neck of the marine. And for some children marines can never be large enough.

But some people really need their compensation for something else, so just ignore them.

>>51160395

I put my money on Custodian Jetboard Riders.

>the board counts as a storm shield

>>51160395
But Custodes aren't marines, anon.

Which leads to the next questions:

Just how much of a mistake was it to give the different TDA aaaaay patterns different rules?

Will Scimitar and Bullock follow the same route? It's not like there are as many jetbike patterns as there are power armour marks.
