GW filed cease and desist orders on the recasters, because people left their contact info out.

Also, loyalist berzerker Shabran Darr was known for mounting traitor heads on his backpack's spikes. Too bad nobody ever takes him or his mastercrafted rending chainaxe. Now with +1Str.

You have a very good point, the EC were full blown weapon autists to the point they'd train with captured enemy weapons to the point where they were better than the makers themselves.
Still, World Eaters had a gladiator culture. You know, that thing Angron hated? Well it was the only thing he knew, so the XIIth channeled their fury into learning how to use those complex-yet-powerful weapons.
I mean, haven't you ever been so angry you want to wound people on a 2+ regardless of their toughness, or to hit people so hard they get stunned? Well now you can.

They're maybe the worst legion-specific ever.

To be honest all flanged maces look mostly the same maybe if it was a Spade Arcanum.

Except the second one, that's an obvious World Eater chaplain. Which makes me think, just how would a World Eater chaplain act?

>To be honest all flanged maces look mostly the same
That one on the right of the middle one at least looks different.

He hides the chainaxes away until things start running smoothly again? But in all seriousness a WE preacher marine would most likely have a problem with the Nails but would not have an issue with the Libbies.
>"Keen" Henrr's Crozius Arcanum, from the VIIIth legion
Looks a little well used.

Aim for 45% or lower. This is not always possible in some areas, but NEVER go above 65%. Aim for 50-55% if you live in more humid areas. If you're permanently above 65% like in the tropics, you're fucked and will need special primers/spray setups.

Guys, I got distracted by the holidays while making my vets and appear to have got halfway through making a stupid loadout.

Painted I have
Sgt w/power spear (for fluff reasons)
1 x missile launcher
3 x Bolters (one with vex)

The original plan was another missile launcher and the rest of the squad with just bolters, but I forgot I had some combi sprues.
I also put aside a cool looking sword for one of the guys either to be just a combat blade or a power weapon if I had spare points.

It's currently a planned PotL list with the other infantry being 2 squads of Termies, but I imagine that may change when TS rules come out.

Basically, should I bother with combis? It's gonna end up a hellishly expensive squad.

Also I have no idea if I'll ever play that many games so I guess have a good army isn't a massive concern

>>51195873
Those are two-handers, not greatswords. Greatswords could still be swung with a single hand if the situation requiered it, and have just the one parry bar. Usual length between 90-120 cm.
Two-handed swords were longer obviously, and had more than a single parry bar (like you can see with those examples) because their main use was engaging pike or spear wielding infantry.

The dude in the middle of the picture does seem to be holding a greatsword however.

>>51199952

That came out 2-3 years before the armour mark article in White Dwarf in 1991. There was only Mk VI before that article.

A lot of that's older art from that period where GW downplayed the existence of the pre-Corvus marks (going by some of the notes from Jes Goodwin's sketches, it may have been an issue of trying to keep Marines aesthetically consistent), so people just assumed that any old Marine armour was going to be Mk VI. Still, true.

>Just say you're army's mid-Heresy, if you feel the need to justify it at all.

I don't need to make up justifications, I can whip out old and new art depicting my legion in MkVI before the onset of the Heresy.

So, are the Dark Angels getting 6 'better than yours' RoWs instead of special units?

Sort of like how IF almost have third special unit in the form of terminators.

>>51200969
>So? How long before the current HH gets retconed? Because I wouldn't put all my faith in it.
Probably a long time, going by how popular it is. Also, by this line of reasoning, we should consider the Rogue Trader fluff about Iron Warriors worshipping Slaanesh just as current as their present-day lore.

>2007?
You mean the Sabretooth stuff? Most of those artists had a fairly loose grip on the subject matter they were dealing with, since they weren't actual GW artists. The cover artist for the novels basically just followed in their stead, until Black Library started making him produce more lore-accurate art.

>I can whip out old and new art depicting my legion in MkVI before the onset of the Heresy.
How new? What you're saying basically seems to be "retconned or inaccurate = current and accurate, because reasons".

>>51201093
How does this work? Art that you don't approve is inaccurate and non-canon, while art you approve is accurate and canon?

>How new?

2011 new enough?

>What you're saying basically seems to be "retconned or inaccurate = current and accurate, because reasons".

No, I'm saying it existed in the past, it exists now, and nothing in the current fluff saying it can't exist.

We know MkVI was made before the Heresy, we know it was used, and we know stockpiles of suits, plans and machinery were evacuated from Mars at the outset of the Heresy, giving the ready suits and their production capabilities to loyalists for the duration of the Heresy. This is all in the current HH books.

There is NOTHING that says MkVI was not used during the Heresy or that a certain legion didn't have any access to it. It doesn't take any what-ifs or hand waving.

>>51200368
Yeah I'm at least fine with it.

What legion do you play by the way?

Okay you autistists, my LGS is having a sale this weekend and Betrayal at Calth is only 100 burgerbucks. I figure there's never gonna be an opportunity this sweet again, so I think I'm gonna grab two and start an army, and loyalist Iron Warriors sound/look really good, plus I know there's a lot of IW players here for ""good"" advice. So does this list do justice to IW fluff, or maybe I need to change something out?

Hey, while you're at it, mind giving some advice for painting these guys? I know there's a GW quick how-to guide somewhere, but I can't find it.

>Are the Contemptors worth it? My friends say that a couple give you solid anti-air, and from what I've seen most people throw 1-2 in for the same reason. But would the Mastadon get me covered instead?
>How about the support Squads? They can rape anything short of a 2+ with ease and also beat up on AV under 13, but it's a steep price.
>Is it Waac or weak or are there any glaring errors?

>>51195906
So what guys use the black helmets among the Word Bearers? I'm getting pretty tired of all the conflicting information and that Forge World barely gave us any information about ranks insignias but rather just stupid runes and banners.

>>51203553
Mortis with Kheres are easy enough for flyers to ignore with short range.
Ten man tac squads with no transport will basically do nothing a they can't go anywhere and have no staying power.
Calivers are heavy, so rhinos aren't useful for them.
Tyrants are ok, Havocs could be better.
Phosphex for medusa are meh, S10 is usually better.
People here have found that the Mastadon isn't worth the points sadly, but that'll be up to you if you really want it, there's a lack of flare shields and it's too many points.

>>51203553
How do you intend in getting a rite of war without a master of the legion? Pick up a cheap delegatus, but you need someone. Go big squads instead of msu, it will serve you well. Mortars are way better than support squads wiht volkite, and two squads of 15 marines are better than three with ten. That means you also only need two apothecaries, and buy one unit of three medusas instead of vindis, put the tyrants into one unit and you have successfully shortened the list of your heavy support slots, meaning you can go ironfire. These are all just suggestions of course, but I am thinking in terms of what would threaten my army the most.

>>51200501
Kek, you madman.
Don't be sorry, it was nice. Kudos for researching greek terms.
And the Hirdmen, that one is new to me

>>51203764
You get the RoW from the siege breaker, it's one of the stipulations.

>>51203738
>>51203764
Okay, well how about I drop the 2 Vindicators and the Malcador and get 2 of these instead;

Malcador Assault Tank
>Demolisher Cannon, Armored Ceramite, Flare Shield, Lascannon Sponsons

Then I add 6 Marines to each tac squad, giving them some more staying power (I really only care about them as bubble wrap for my other guys)?

Or perhaps I could get a different LoW (any recommendations?) and use the extra points in a similar fashion. Would this work?

And why isn't the Rhino useful for Support Squads? I really wanted to keep them further back, just zoom up to a spot T1, use the 30" range and maneuver the Rhino to block LoS until they need to go or it dies.

>>51203896
>You get the RoW from the siege breaker, it's one of the stipulations.

No, your compulsory HQ must either be a Warsmith or a Siege Breaker, but you still need a model with Master of the Legion to be allowed to use a ROW. Compulsory HQ =/= warlord btw.

>>51203896
I use Caliver squads as pseudo heavy support and back field objective camping/deep strike inception. Putting them in rhinos to move sacrifices their shooting basically, but that's up to you.
LoW options, there's all of the -blade chassis which are useful, and I'd choose a LoW that fills in any gaps you have, that's still generally useful. Most general is the Fellblade, very good

>>51204009
Huh, interesting. Okay, I think I'll drop the Mastadon, get a Fellblade (?) instead, and upgrade him/fluff out remaining squads.

>>51203896
>>51204009
Anon is correct - you need a Master of the Legion first to use Rites of War. Hammer of Olympia does not grant Siege Breakers MOTL. You need a Praetor, Centurion Delegatus, or other appropriate character first.

>>51199463
>Remember when the Space Wolves were sent to break into Magnus' house when his family were all there and to trash the place with no survivors?
>And because Magnus knew the Wolves were total fags who couldn't do it on their own he helped them in every way he could while still keeping their attack a secret from his family?
>He cut the phone lines, turned off the wi-fi and made everyone hand over their cell-phones so they could have an uninterrupted peaceful family dinner
>But not before he phoned up the repo men and had everyone's cars quietly towed
>Then he unlocked all the doors and turned on all the lights with the curtains opened and had everyone sit in plain view in one place
>And then the Space Wolves came creeping up the garden path, with the Custodes, the Sisters, the Titans and the Sons of Horus backing them up, because god knows the Wolves couldn't be trusted to do even this on their own
>And then the Wolves made so much noise trying to break down an unlocked door that Magnus' family had time to pull their carries and investigate the noisy heap of intruders tripping over the front step
>And when at last the Space Wolves had a go at it they suffered grievous losses despite having every form of Imperial support on their side plus some from the traitors

>>51203692
It's a sergeant helmet, the Ultramarine sergeant's is also in the window the way the Word Bearers' is.
The text mentions senior officers too if you haven't noticed.

Err, 30 marines

Since you dudes seem to be in a helpful mood, I'll post this adjusted list for the third and final time hopefully. I'm pretty settled on it now.

Death Guard, Creeping Death, 2495/2500

HQ (280)

Praetor - Artificer, Combi, Refractor and Scythe – 140
Siege Breaker - Artificer, Combi and Thunder Hammer - 140

Elites (570)

Apothecary x2, Artificer x2, Augury Scanner x2- 120
Kheres Mortis – 180
Quad Launcher x3, Phosphex, Shatter shells - 270

Troops (930)
20 man Tac Squad, Vexilla, Artificer and Melta on Sarge – 250
20 man Tac Squad, Vexilla, Artificer and Melta on Sarge – 250
5 man Melta Support Squad, Rhino+Dozer – 215
5 man Plasma Support Squad, Rhino+Dozer - 215

Heavy Support (715)
2x Predator Executioner + Dozer – 270
2x Vindicator + Dozer (250)
Sicaran Venator + Dozer (195)

>>51204552
So there's no heavy weapons for a siege breaker to buff at all, and I'm guessing he and the praetor are just slogging with tacs until they maybe make it up the board? Otherwise I guess you have most things covered ok

>>51204552
At least give that praetor a meltabomb with those last 5 points.

>>51204552
Why would a Praetor want a Scythe when he's got access to a Paragon blade? It's the Siege Breaker the oone who wants the scythe, not to mention no squad is good for your ICS

>>51204695
>>51204856
I'll probably eventually get a heavy supp squad for the siegebreaker, but this is based on stuff I already own/is painted.

Scythe because it was originally a Delegatus, and scythe is fluffier. Might make it a paragon, but still model it as a scythe.

>>51204856
Scythe is cheaper and allows for more attacks. What you can do is accept challenge with a throwaway sergant and have the praetor mow down the enemy unit with up to 8 attacks. Too bad he doesn't have digital lasers.

Autism 2: Electric Boogaloo

Mostly done with the basecoats, once I'm done with that it's time for washes. I'm honestly starting to like it as a proxy, but I think I'll reserve my judgement til I can see it side by side with a Nephilim.

>>51205160
While I won't judge you on proxying as it's a decent amount of effort you put in it, this would have better served as a Fire Raptor since they both look like gunships, and are gunships, rather than fighter aircraft.

>>51205160
I def agree with this anon >>51205216

It is a good looking proxy, however I do not think you should use it as one of the smaller attack craft. It def looks like a fire raptor/gunship

>>51205216
>>51205272
You are aware the fire raptor is huge? The Talon is half its length and less than half its mass.

>>51205216
>>51205272
I hope you do realize a Fire Raptor is as large or even larger than a Storm Eagle. The Storm Eagle is larger than a Stormraven already, and that flying goldfish he used for that conversion is only a quarter of the size of that.

>>51205339
>Fire Raptor is as large or even larger than a Storm Eagle
Isn't it the same chasis, but with it's transport filled with guns?

>>51205407
Close, but the front is extended somewhat if I remember correctly. And then you also have those side turrets.

>>51205216
>>51205272
I'm testing it as a Lightning Primaris proxy, considering it does come with the necessary weapons standard. I'll be seeing how the Nephilim kit compares next time. Yeah, the Nephilim looks more like the Voss, but I honestly prefer the original Lightning over the Voss anyway.
>>51205295
>>51205339
>>51205407
Yeah, the Stormeagle is huge. I've converted a Stormraven to serve as an Eagle (extended rear hull), and it's easily 2x the size of the fighter. I can take a pic if anyone wants a comparison.

>>51205491
>I can take a pic if anyone wants a comparison.

I really want to know if the corvus blackstar can pass as a darkwing. I t will probably be a bit smaller but hey, it only holds 16 anyway

710KB, 1512x852px

>>51205521
I know the Corvus is actually smaller than it looks like it would be. Similarly, the Stormhawk/Talon is actually bigger than it looks like it would. I extended the tail and wings on mine to make it look more like an actual jet fighter than a rocket-propelled brick.

As for the Stormeagle, an actual Stormeagle's hull is probably larger than mine by another inch or so, but I ran out of viable materials for extending my Stormraven (I added about an inch and a half of space). That said, I'm still happy with it, as it looks like it could actually hold more than 5 marines.

A good kit to make bayonets from?

Doesn't appear to be much room on either BaC or BoP bolters to install though

Saw a very interesting option for the legions I wasn't aware of in a new 30kchannel batrep: the Dominus siege bombard.

Has anyone here any experience with them, or any links to any conversions? I really like the guy's conversion, they look like powerful artillery indeed, perfect for Iron Warriors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrPbui3ZkpA

>>51205726
I've got nothing, except for maybe using combat knives from 40k SM (or bearded axe heads from Fantasy). Unfortunately, bolters and SM don't exactly look great with bayonets, since like adding ammo packs, it tends to make the model look super clunky.

>>51199239
Depends. For troops choices, maybe not. If you're drop podding a squad specifically to deal with a threat, yeah, go all out on their wargear.

PotL is usually strong, since Termies and Vets are good for their points. Don't forget about the limit on units without the Legiones Astartes special rule, though.

>>51206037
Are those even a real thing ? I know the conversions are using the crassus transport or its anti-air variant, but I can't find a unit entry for 'Dominus siege bombard' anywhere.

>>51206242
Imperial Armour Volume 1, apparently.
It's there in the second edition of that book, though its rules are apparently in pre-7th edition stuff and I can't really understand it.

Found them in IA Vol 1, 2nd Ed. There's no specific model so it's not well known. It can do a S10 Ap3 large blast up to 36", or an Apoc barrage 3 up to 60". I think it's underwhelming for about 300 points

And if there isn't enough space below the handguard/muzzle, consider this style of putting the bayonet above the gun's barrel.

It isn't awful, but it's significantly overpriced.

If you're looking for a regular black/grey/white spray primer, you can't go wrong with Krylon or Rustoleum.

If you want to spray prime AND get a basecoat colour, you could try Army Painter's range, though I don't have any experience with it myself.

>>51207694
They only ever seem to do point adjustments when a book gets updated though. Point changes through FAQ are extremely rare.
Maybe giving destroyers FnP (because radiation damage) and boi-chem rounds for their pistols might help untill the next armylist edition

And while we're on fixing units, why does everybody always forget Recon squads ? The sergant can't have a shotgun/sniper/stabby thing alongside the rest of the unit, they have Outflank in addition to Scout which already provides Outflank anyway, cost more points than Veterans and most wargear options are way too many points.

>>51207883
Units can only be affected by the same special rule once, unless specifically stated otherwise. Source : main rulebook. Though I guess FW could ask nicely for GW to change it next edition :^)

Like that iron hands rule that allows you to shoot shots rather than sweep. Why why why why why why would you ever opt out of potentially erasing a unit rather to make snap shots with basic weapons

>>51208022
I may have got Meduson's rules wrong, but I thought he only unlocked RG/Sally rites, but doesn't act as a praetor/centurion for all three legions. In other words, you would still need a Sally HQ choice to use salamander units in your shattered legions force. But like I say, I may well be wrong here.

At first I thought that rule was to compensate for the fact that IH have to make a Ld. test to see if they can be bothered chasing down the unit running away ... But then I noticed the snap-shooting thing also requiers a Ld. test ...

I really thought I typed cannot, not can only.

At the start of the special rules section.

>>51206738

The only reason FW did that was because RG don't have a Mk IV upgrade set and that photo was taken for the "Betrayal at Calth bodies plus FW helmet and chest upgrade" pack.

But yes, mixing Mk VI and IV is perfectly fine, I just doubt RG did it since they supplied full suits to them for prototyping at Istvaan. Most likely once the bombs dropped, you'd fine plenty of Mk VI and IV mixes as the crippled RG forces were shown to scavenge a lot of armor from their enemies, a lot of whom wore Mk IV thanks to Horus.

>>51208416
I thought that kit was made specifically to be the RG upgrade set for the BaC marines. It didn't exist before BaC.

>>51208553

They were made one month before BaC.

FTFY, both kits were probably sculpted around the same time.

So what do you guys think would be the best use of these sexy containers? Im gonna add 3 because it fits the fluff of my army and it sounds nasty for an IF army.

Flamer gunlines like DG or Salamander gain more range, IF gunlines re-roll 1s, DA Ironwing tank gunline also becomes twin-linked for 40pts! The possibilities are endless!.

Looking a little closer, the stripes seem a little thick, as well, though that could be the lighting. I want to see these guys when they're finished, anon!

>>51210117
Not really. Stripes should just be on one leg or arm piece. Chest stripes is too much, as is an entire leg/arm being striped. Remember that less is more, especially in this case.

>>51210117
>>51210184
I have to agree, the chest stripes are a little too strong

Also I'm sure it's a work in progress but ink down that silver too

Nah mate, there's a difference between art and tabletop. The ones in the art are a lot thinner than anons, as well as duller and blending into the metal.

>>51210288
Can this be the moment /hhg/ realizes that it's okay to mix some armor marks if it looks good, even though it may not be lore supported?

>there's a difference between art and tabletop

>>51210320
What? No, I don't support armor mixing at all, ye heathen! I was referring to paint schemes.

>>51210184
The lighting is shit and taking pictures of metals is a pain in the ass.

I've not filled in the other panels yet, just got the worst part out of the way. I only really got into the groove with the second half or so. I can go back and keep trying to make it more even but it will never be perfect, and I set myself a goal for the week to have them finished on sunday. There's a lot of things I would have done different by now during the process but it simply isn't worth going back to it. It will look very different once they've been sponge chipped and I've added weathering powders.

My previous models have all had less in the way of hazard stripes, or at least been more muted, and I find that they all look really boring on the table, so I'm intentionally switching from dull base colors to a bright yellow and sharp black to make them stand out and be recognizable at a distance. Maybe it is a mistake, but I'm trying to make something more visually interesting than just a sea of murky gunmetal.

Your primer is too thick. Instead of trying to get a solid white coverage, let it be dusty looking and finish the basecoat of white with thinned down paintbrush white.

Yeah I had the same problem when I tried to make a "complete" coat of color with my primer. I then realized it's just not possible with most spray cans and requires an airbrush, so now I just prime normally and touch up the spots where the color isn't as solid to prevent thick spots.

>>51211733
Didn't help that it was freezing out either, the first spray was like a leper bukkake.
