>>52043266
This week I'm planning finishing building a Triaros and 10 Secutarii peltasts. If I get time then I want to undercoat them and start painting my mechanicum force. Going for a metallic green look (leadbelcher sprayed over the model then thin tamiya clear green coats on relevant armour plates).

>>52043266
Still trying to decide what legion to start. It's going to come down to doing a couple of test models and seeing which I prefer/which I can better do justice, but I'd want to build them in different marks: if I do Iron Hands I'd want to do them in Mk III; if I do Blood Angels I'd want to do them in Mk IV. So I can't just grab a single box to do test models, and buying two boxes will leave some left over, so trying to work out the cheapest way to do this, and generally being a procrastinating little shit as a result.

>>52043544
The simple answer is Mechanicum

>>52043581
You monster.

That was actually the third option, but given I'd be in it for the tanks (krios, triaros and macrocarids, not reductor artillery) not the robots, I'd probably be missing the point.

>>52043266
Paint a 15 man TS tactical squad.

Now that Inferno is out, and all the late edition 40K furfaggotry is missing from the Sixth Legion, how many people expect bandwagon fans to jump on the Vlka Fenryka?

>>52043644
Ordo Reductor spams tanks and artillery and pretty much nothing else

>>52043651
I can't wait for all the Current Edition furfags to jump to 30k. Deathsworn wulfens, plain wolf guard terminators, grey hunters as grey slayers, thunderwolf jet bikes, etc.

>>52043734

Most of my Wolves are 1991 beakies in actual gray paint jobs, so I look more like a Scouring era force, or a late Heresy refit. I have bought a total of two miniatures since 2002.

Looking to start building a Dangel Army capitalising on their Close Combat rules, mostly by equipping them with as many swords as possible and using special ammo to debuff WS5 enemies. I'm aware this isn't the best tactic, but man I love me some medieval knights.

Question is: what do you guys reckon would be the best cc unit to drop my Praetor in?

>>52043701
Force yourself into a painting routine and stick with it, don't stop until everything is done. Become familiar how much you can paint in a specific time (a day, a week etc.) and structure your painting schedule.

>>52043644
Nope, you can do just fine without Reductor arty in a mechanized list, even if it is nice to have about. Use the Reductor variant anyway, buffs still excellent, take an Archimandrite, Secutarii Axiarch and a Magos Reductor. Use the Titan Guard as your line troops after 2 comp Thallax, units of 20 Peltasts in Triaros or 12 Hoplites in an Arvus. Then add some Myrmidon Destructors in a Macrocarid, which can be Decima's DT if loyalist, and a battery or two of Krios Venators, plus maybe some Vulturax or Lightnings, then add whatever. Bingo, list that can do most things, even if it might struggle slightly against Custodes due to lack of S10. Avoid vanilla Krioae and the Karacnaros as a rule, all other Mechanicum vehicles are shiny as hell.

People always obsess over killing high T monstrous creatures when dealing with Mechanicum, too, so you'll have some of the element of surprise for a while.

>>52043874
Not the best choice by any means but I am making a 10 man weapon master veteran squad to accompany my praetor in games. Add other consuls and apothecaries to flavour.

>>52043887
Fuck, you are right anon, i will do this! i will make a schedual for myself . Cheers man

>>52042940
Someone mentioned Flesh Tearers finding a Lunawolf in stasis in 40k. What happened to the poor guy? Deathwatch or execution?

>>52043918
All with axes should add, plus some stasis grenades, 40 WS5 S5 AP2 attacks on the charge, 30 for every round after that. The stasis grenades debuff anything that might be a problem for their WS5.

>>52043929
I think he was brought up to date with everything that had happened to the galaxy then he got mad and stole a space ship and flew away. It was only a throwaway bit of fluff from the Black Legion supplement.

>>52043936
Nice, could drop combi nade-launchers with stasis shells to ensure that WS drop as well. Might steal this idea.

>>52043951
Reeeeee. Deserter!

Is there a difference between buying the Dark Vengeance starter set and buying something like the Dark Angel Gauntlet Tactical Squad? I'm trying to get starting playing DA and I'm not sure how to format my army, looking around 1000 points since that's what my LGS plays. I'm holding off on the codices since I don't want to get hamstringed by 8th edition. What are some "safe" buys until then?

Does a TS Assault Squad sound like a good idea?

>20 Assault Marines
>+1 HoW from jump pack
>+1 HoW from Arcana power
>40 HoW attacks on the charge

>>52043973

He probably saw the state of the Imperium for himself and then joined a local Deathwatch chapter as a Blackshield.

>>52043981
This is 30k, if you are meant to be here the BaC or BoP sets will serve you better. If not then find the 40k general in the archives.

>>52043981
Wrong thread chum, I'd hop it before someone gets mad.

>>52043999
to get all those HoWs, you'll need that every model is in bse contact with the enemy at Initiative 10. 20 models will hardly manage to do that, unless you spread them well (which might make you pass on terrain and lose 2" to charge speed.

>>52043135
I know Mk3 jump packs aren't fluffy but damn it's cool

>>52044040

Good point. Then maybe I should just run 1 squad of 10? 20 HoW attacks for half the cost! Or is it too gimmicky and situational?

>>52043999
One issue I can see is you need to get into base-to-base contact to make a HOW hit, which may be tricky with 20. There's probably a magic number that means you're not wasting points on extraneous models, but have enough dudes to absorb casualties/get plenty of HOW hits, but damned if I know what it is.

Are Iron Warriors a viable chapter to play? I really like their aesthetic but I havent seen many lists.

>>52044079
It's interesting, but maybe giving them combat shields and Raptora would be better?

>>52044029

Is this your first thread? IW are one of the most popular legions.

>>52043772
Seeing that production MkVIs and their machinery were rescued from Mars during the Schism, SW were on Terra during the Heresy and there's art of MkVI SW on Prospero,

There's really no evidence that some legions didn't use certain marks and any claims that they didn't are usually backed up with "because I don't like it, get out of muh 30kay, reeeee!"

>>52044118
To my shame its true, however I've been thinking of proxying Wulfen as some kind of early Black Dragons prototype...

>>52044151
please dont, i was jokeing around. wulfun are the worst space marine models around, pleaase plase please dont

>>52044173
Lol relax anon, I was being mean about the guy that got shouted out of HHG and WIP a few weeks back for his "heresey era BD prototypes".

>>52044133
Yeah it is my first thread. I used to play warmachine but my LGS went balls deep in warhammer so I'd like to make the switch. I guess my problem was not knowing the difference between 30k and 40k. I saw 40k CSMs painted as IW and assumed it was the same thing and the 30k name was appended because of Forge World...

>>52044204
oh jesus why

>>52043689
Except Vlka Fenryka is the proper name.

>>52044229
Nah, it's the stupid Abnett Name created in Prospero Burns.
Meanwhile Space Wolves goes all the way back to Rogue Trader.

>>52043689
I bet you call the Legionnes Astartes "Space Marines".

>>52044114

>+3 points for combat shields

Wow. I didn't notice that. I don't know though. I'll stew on it some more, but the combat shield+raptora combo would give the unit survivability past the deep strike turn.

>>52044262
I bet you call the Astartes Ultra "the ultramarines"

What is the hatred of Space *noun*?

It's not "Space Wolves", it's "Vlka Fenryka." It's not "Space Sharks" it's "Carcharodons." It's not "Space Marines" it's "Legiones/Adeptus Astartes."

No one I play with cares, at least. Though I'm limiting myself to one wulfen-leg squad (at least in part cause they're a pain in the dick to convert). Might get Gal Vorbak and cover up the WB icons if I feel the need for more heresy.

>>52044591
>Imperium Pugnacii
>Draconii

>>52044609
sergant with poweraxe, meltabomb, and artificer armour, but that's it. Their job is to assault shooty units, and just survive untill the Lernaean can charge in if they get assaulted by some nasty melee unit ... and 57 melee attacks is usually enough already to kill ten dudes with missile launchers. Maybe not in a single assault phase, but staying in combat for an extra turn so they can't be shot at is very nice.

>>52043266
Finish the 20 tacticals, Ahriman and tartaros for TS and the 10 grey hunters and geigor, possibly basecoat the sisters and custodes. Like to model in my off time so thinking of getting a contemptor for some conversions.

Pugnacii is warriors, not fists.
It's related to "pugnus" which is fist, but "pugnator" is warrior, from "pugna", which is "conflict".

You can get the Betrayal at Calth Chaplain character for pretty cheap on eBay. But I suppose that’s not quite the same as a normal dude, and the BoP equivalents aren’t generic enough to be useful. Honestly, I’d just get the cheapest marines you can – even if that means Mk VII snap-fit from a starter box or paint set. Don’t count on using them in your army, but they’ll serve well enough to know if you like painting black or red.

Both colors are hard to add depth to. For IH I like the idea of using a very dark metallic gray and washing with purple. Then highlight with a warm tone. For BA, highlight with Tau Light Ochre (I think that’s Vomit Brown’s replacement). But I’m still not sure what the best wash/shade is for red.

Give me the power of hells red flower
So I can be like you!

After reading that shit I can't imagine how Abnett is half as lauded as he is, the writing was a joke compared to McNeill or virtually any BL author. In a series as shoddily written as HH that's pretty damning.

>>52045334
Good call on the White Lightning.

All the word-switching drives me nuts. Sure, it’s not supposed to be Latin but anyone who’s studied any Latin at all is going to see Latin. And we’re going to see that they’ve renamed the Imperial Guard “Stars of the Soldiers” because it sounded cooler than the reverse.

Look at those fucking CC stats. He can barely be taken down by Scoria, and even then he'll win like 44% of the time. He's balanced the same way Scoria is, by being slow as hell, and he pays for his army buffs and increased durability by not joining units. You want that dropping on your head from a Kharybidis with an escort?

>>52046365

See above. NewBoat wins any duel after 6 rounds because he'll eventually roll a 6 on the D chart, and even without that he'll kill OldBoat easily with a swarm of S10 AP2 hits at initiative with better WS for a while.

>>52046384
Yeah. I guess also, given primarch fights tend to go on for many rounds, Nu-Rowboat is going to roll some 6s to hit, and get enough D hits in to put down Rowboat Classic.

AFAIK the thing 40k Gilly totally lacks that he has in 30k is IWND.

>>52046406
Just because his stats and rules are OP doesn't mean wanting him to do fluffy things is "WAAC".

Unless they literally rebuilt him one and a half times taller than he was when the Emperor made him, he should be able to stand alongside his troops.

Plus I'd hate to fight that in 40k with anything less than a knight.

Also reminder that The Emperor will be even more broken. ALL warlord traits, WS10, BS10, 10 wounds, 2++ invuln 5++ FNP, counts destroyer wounds as 1 wound, S8, T8, I8.

Primarch Magnus is less reliable, but has more potential. Also needs more of an army as support around him.

Daemon Primarch Magnus is more reliable, but 'only' has a 18'' Str D beam power. More of a one man army thanks to high toughness and lots of wounds in combination with being able to fly.

Until I'm done converting Alexander Satarael and the Filiketos, that is. Lack of whales is suffering.... :)
Fluffy doesn't mean balanced, man.

He is now also much bulkier, thanks to that armour basically making him a Primarch dreadnought. He can't remove it or Cawl's life support ever, AFAIK.

Also, once the Emperor shows up I can and will work out how many Militia levies it takes to kill him. Or at least pin him in place a while.

I'd say outfitting your Medusans with Volkites is worth it, but not as much of a force-multiplier if you put the squad above 10 men.

You're right about the Immortals being good. I've never given them thought before, but in comparison to the Imperial Fists Phalanx Warders, I think it's clear the Immortals are a lot better, as they are good at more purposes than the Warders, AND good at what the Warders specialise at (objective-holding nuisances).

Medusans start with 5++ FNP and the IH -1 Toughness, while IF have to take a rite of war and pay ~50 points for an apothecary to get the same benefits (with the possibility for an augury scanner though), and they start off more expensive.
The other thing is that the upgrades for the Phalanx Warders seem to reward you for making them blobby, but they cost 25% more per extra man than the Immortals do (15 points per man versus 12), and their all-round upgrade (the Power Axe) costs twice as much as the Volkite Charger for the Medusas, even though the Axe represents losing basically all of the bonus the PWs get, since you won't be charged if you put too many axes in there.

So, let's compare making a 10-man assault-based squad with 5+ FNP for both squads, upgraded with their unit-specific wargear:
>Medusans: 250 base cost + 40 for 8 Volkite Chargers, +30 for two meltaguns, + 35 for sergeant armour, PW and melta bombs = 355
>Warders: 255 base cost + 80 for 8 power axes + 30 for two meltaguns + 25 for sergeant armour and melta bombs + 55 for AA apothecary = 445

>>52047065
Yeah at least daemon magnus can fly

Girlyman is going to have to facetank everything whilst the enemy runs rings around him unless a nearby psyker is kind enough to cast leviation on him.

>>52046907
>How did the SoHs involvement turn out?
5,000 SoH spending most of their time away from the front lines, secretly kidnapping civilian psykers in large numbers. They also used the opportunity to gauge loyalty in preparation for Isstvan III and probably did some purging right there through "friendly fire".

There was some Cthonian Imperial Army dudes there, about 9000. Before the actual battle, about 5000 Sons of Horus showed up to Russ' contingent of the Host, and lent him some Legio Mortis titans as well as access to the muntions of the Forge World of Beta-Garmon, where he loaded up on regular shooty, and also a fuckton of Phosphex and Exterminatus-class Mechanicum bullshit weapons, and themselves helped out in the assault.

Not sure whether there's anything else, but Legio Mortis takes a surprise assault from the Zhao-Arkkad Legio Xestiobax and loses a bunch of Titans before they wipe the enemy out.

Welcome to Scoria's world, Ultrasmurfs. In fact, he's faster, slightly less choppy and buffy but a bit more durable. He's Scoria 2.0 IMO.If he was any faster he'd be a tad imbalanced for 350.

Truth be told, axes on the Phalanx are basically a no-go. And while axes are a bigger change than volkite, I still think Warders are overpriced Breachers with overpriced upgrades and a situational bonus, since they cost 65 points more than basic breachers for just the special rule that makes them harder to charge, while Medusans get the basic effects of an apothecary (that can't be removed) for 60 points (the cost of a pimped out apothecary), and cost 20% per less per extra man than a Phalanx Warder.

So whenever you can take Immortals instead of Breachers it's basically a straight upgrade, whereas phalanx warders are pricy enough not to be. Mad jelly.

So in my view, the two usable methods for Phalanx Warders are:
>MSU spam where you put two axes in and sit them on objectives (but in Stone Gauntlet you have to buy two basic breacher units anyway so they lose their specialness)
>The more effective strategy of a (preferably deep-striking) blob of 20 which has an apothecary, a handful of axes, and 4 plasma guns, whereupon you kite the enemy
Both of these are expensive and situational though, whereas the Medusan Immortals are good for:
>MSU spam where you camp them with grav guns
>MSU spam where you take them as more survivable Volkite support squads who can charge home and hit above their weight in melee thanks to the shield
>A big blob where you do a variant of the above and/or the Phalanx blob strategy (they aren't as specialised for this as the phalanx, but they cost 30 points less to blob up)

TLDR: Medusans are good for 5++ and Volkite spam, Phalanx Warders are overpriced and only good for plasma annoyance.
If you planned on using Medusans at all, I'm 75% confident you should give them the Volkites.

>>52047261
>Warders are overpriced Breachers
And Breachers are also overpriced Breachers.

>>52047103
The issue with equipping Warders with as much axes as you can is that the enemy will in all likelihood just try to avoid them. You want them assaulted for +1WS and +1T (which Immortals in melee don't get) while the enemy unit gets no bonuses.
So you have to try and hit that sweet spot where they fuck with the enemy at range, but also have enough punch to take them out in melee. And the Axe price should be toned down to 5 points, it gets horribly expensive as it is, as should be base cost.

On the other hand, Immortals get no melee buffs at all, but that's okay as they rely on their superior armour to make it to the enemy in numbers.

>>52047261
>I still think Warders are overpriced Breachers with overpriced upgrades
Same, what with UM Breachers getting power swords for 5pts/piece.
>If you planned on using Medusans at all, I'm 75% confident you should give them the Volkites.
I'm going to use Volkite anyway out of sheer cool factor.

>>52046870

Still got a long wait until anything Fulgrim related comes around in 30k and in 40k I doubt the daemon primarchs are going to be that involved. It is not as if GW will ever kill off Chaos so they don't need to do anything with them.

Abnett's take on the Fenrisian in Prospero Burns is basically just a hodgepodge of shit from various related Northern Germanic languages. There's multiple translations for that name, depending on which language you assume "Vlka" comes from.

>>52047321
Yeah, my build (in my mind, because I'm still waiting for plastic breachers for Stone Gauntlet) is 2 Axes, and 2 Plasma. Two S5 AP2 hits aren't worth 10 points though, particularly when as you pointed out, for half the cost the Ultramarines can get 4 S4 AP3 hits with their basic breachers on the charge, in a scenario where they'll be choosing who to hit them with. Axes might actually be near-useless on the Phalanx Warders because you'll usually be charged by Terminators, who have a 50 or 33% chance of saving against each attack by the warder, assuming it hits and wounds to begin with.

I said 75% convinced because if you're strictly min-maxing, bolters and bolt pistols aren't that much worse, but I think you'll find them worth it with the Volkite.

>>52047290
>And Breachers are also overpriced Breachers.
Touché.

>>52047377
Eh, maybe.
That might make them more useful as axe-wielders, but it's not enough when axes cost 10 points on top of the unit's existing overpricing, and if the bonus is purely reactive while on the defensive against charges.

>>52048295
>Which pattern armour was called maximus again

The lore says they are an old unit with old equipment predating Lorgar's return. The pict capture shows a marine wearing armor with modfied mkII/III style parts.

Are you going to look at "MKIII 'Maximus' power armour" and then assume, in spite of all other evidence to the contrary, they meant to write "MKIV 'Maxiumus' armour" ?

>>52048382
This clearly needs an FAQ.

>>52048282
>Doesn't mean every single Ashen Circle ever was in MkIV 'Iron' armour, bud.

No, but this provides ample evidence that some legions fielded Destroyers with jump packs and MKIII plate.

The image in Tempest is definitely not Mk IV, despite the "Maximus" nomenclature. Whether it's Mk II or III is less clear, but I see more Mk III in it and the text supports that. Except it also has a gorget.>>52048205

>>52048382
Well, if the text is wrong, then we can't use it as evidence and we have to go with the model itself. Now, like I said, MkII arms (flared greaves, no extra plating), MkII pads (reinforced trim, no extra plate), torso is armoured up but the groin plate is not part of it, MkII style big buckle, greaves are solid plates like on a MkIII, true, but thighs are segmented like on a MkII.

Armoured up MkII if nothing else. If we accept that it's MkIII, then the whole "no MkIII assault marines" theory is debunked.

>>52047570
According to FW, at least, it's a collective noun used for packs of carrion dogs that fed on refugees in Terra's dry seas.

Interestingly it is a collective noun. But for a group of snails.

>>52048487
>then the whole "no MkIII assault marines" theory is debunked

Was this ever stated to be an actual rule, or just a stylistic preference on GW's part. I could swear that the BL fiction mentions MKIII and jump packs several times.

>>52048487
>Armoured up MkII if nothing else
Isn't Mk III just up-armored Mk II?

>>52047854
Do we think plastic breachers are a possibility? I suppose they might be... rumors said they had a Phall boxed game ready, and it's common for them to sit on boxed sets for a while until if it fits their release schedule. It made sense to release basic Mk IV+Cataphractii and Mk III+Tartaros boxes first. This fall/winter, they could either release a new armor mark (II, V, or VI) or start giving us breachers or assault marines. (Or best of all, Mk II plus breacher parts - but if I want it then it won't come true).

>Isn't Mk III just up-armored Mk II?

Then it wouldn't count as a whole new mark anymore than MkIV with a chest plate would. MkIII is based on the MkII, but they did other modifications to it as well ("highly modified" is a term I've seen used) to make it more suitable for void combat as well. The rear armour is reduced to even out the weight.

I mean, technically MkVI and VII are quite close to each other, the MkVII being the final result of the R&D that started with the MkVI, but I wouldn't call MkVII just a better MkVI.

>>52048527
MkIII has always been a heavy and cumbersome suit suited and there hasn't been any real art or models depicting MkIII jump troops anywhere. I'm sure you can do it, but evidence of their existence is scarce.

>>52048684

In Master of Mankind, Zephon wears MKIII plate with a jump pack.

"Land turned, looking back over his shoulder as a tall shape emerged from the mist, becoming the Blood Angel Zephon. The twin turbines rising from his back like brutal machine wings swayed with the warrior’s gait. Battle-servitors trundled past, blind to anything beyond the Archimandrite’s guiding signal at the front of the column.

‘Greetings,’ said the pale Blood Angel. His portcullis-faced Mark III helm was under his arm, leaving his face bare."

I was going to mention them, but I don't really see the Thousand Sons using them.

Breachers I can see, because they like taking indoor places intact to explore/loot them, which is usually a pretty high-casualty task. And who knows, with their obsession with archaeology they may have been the ones to discover the archaeotech that led to the Cerberus. So they would've been able to call in a favor and receive on the first ones. Both choices are useful but a little overcosted, which compensates for the useful but undercosted Sekhmets.

Primarch totally need (more) personal transports. Give Russ the stormrider pulled by his wolves. Give Khan his special Rhino he can ride in. Give Vulkan his Rhino that Salamanders now keep stored in their chapter relics. They don't have to be regular Rhinos, they can have adamantium plates and energy fields the boost their resilience, and enable them to carry the primarchs.

Then make a game where they can race around a track or engage in destruction derby.

So why did FW not include the Spireguard in Inferno?

>>52049640
Militia allies.

>>52049640
Mortals are for scrubs.

>>52049640
Probably because they were only around for one battle where they pretty much got wiped out, plus militia probably covers them well enough.

>>52049454
In A Thousand Sons however they just threw kineshields on any unit under heavy fire to turn just any unit into 'breachers'.

I'd add more bodies, because if anything it looks like your army has a serious lack of numbers. Veterans, support squads, maybe some tacticals, preferably in Rhino's

>>52049640
Because they put so much effort and organisation into the rest of the list.

>>52049640
I think they said they were hoping to back when they started. But they also wanted to do Custodes and Sisters of Silence and Secutarii and psi-titans, all in addition to the two new legions. There was just too much going on.

>>52049710
Maybe take Breachers, cut out the shields so you're just left with the frame around the edge, and then dip those frames in bubble solution before each game turn so they look like they have a shimmering field there.

>>52048925
It doesnt matter anymore. theres no salvaging this. an army of snails

>>52049763
Maybe. It's just that a unit of tactical marines with the 4++ power from divination on them, possibly also with the telekinesis cult is way cheaper and way better then what breachers can do - and more fitting for Thousand Sons as well.

>>52049787
But Army is the collective noun for caterpillars.

>>52049640
they're just the same organisation as Solar Auxilla, they're even described as looking the same in a small part of the fluff.

Page 47 talks about "Crimson-uniformed soldiers in that matched that of the Solar Auxillia" as a description for the western palantine guard.

>>52049936

Agreed, no need for a special list, given that the Militia/ Solar Auxilia covers it well enough.

Vets are good, points add up real fast. Have more attacks than terminators but you need to spend the monies to give them power weapons while you can just swap out default termie load for war blades.

Just take your time.

You just gotta thin your paints, be patient, don't get paint in the ferrule like I did, and watch Duncan ad infinitum.

But Word Bearers are my favorite legion. They're the only dudes who decided, screw it, I'm going full heretic. Like, 20k of their retards held off all of the UM. That sounds pretty good to me.

I don't see any loyalist only legions, now do I? :^)

>just take your time
Yeah, that's true. The small detail brush I have always seems like it either dries out too quickly or just doesn't hold enough paint when doing stuff like highlights. For the eyes it's perfect because it's small and I don't need much then.

>So, why aren't all legions, chapters, regiments, etc. named as such?
But they are. The Imperial Guard's High Gothic name is Astra Militarum...but the reader/narrator characters mostly speak Low Gothic (like how "Romans" did), so they all say "Imperial Guard".

I mean, you do know that TECHMARINE is FRATER ASTROTECHNICUS in High Gothic, right?

The same happens with Fenrisian. Only fucking Fenris speaks Fenrisian, which is why all the Imperium calls them the Space Wolves based on the Fang, but they call themselves Vlka Fenryka based on the Aett.

Not to mention almost all written 30k/40k media is translated to pseudo-latinized english; Gothic sounds nothing like that after 27000+ years of change and planetary migration.

>>52044405
>I bet you call the Praetoria Mortalis "the Death Guard".

Milia is 'Thousand' in Latin. You're thinking of Militia, which is another word.

What are Salamanders? White Scars? Blood Ravens? Cadian Shock Troops? Valhallan Ice Warriors? Imperial Fleet? Inquisition?

>Imperial Fleet
The Mechanicum branch that builds the Imperial Fleet is the Basilikon Astra, which wouldn't be too far from being translated to "Space Temple", which is how the Mechanicum sees Imperial Warships.
>Salamanders
Salamander is pretty much a latin word already, so I'd go with Ignis Dracorum, the Fire drakes.
>Blood Ravens
Corvus Sanguine
>White Scars
Cicatrice Alba. In pic related, canon High Gothic.
>Valhallan Ice Warriors
Praelium Glacies? Nobody cares, they all call them Valhallans anyway, since they're the only Valhallans they'll ever meet.

>>52051560
Oh, I thought you were translating "Battle Brother", kek.

>>52051698
>You're memeing

Explain.

>The Mechanicum branch that builds the Imperial Fleet is the Basilikon Astra

Imperial Fleet is the space ship equivalent to the Departmento Munitorum. The Navy is under it (same way Guard is under the Munitorum). Navy has a high gothic name (Aeronautica Imperialis) but the Fleet doesn't. Neither does the Inquisition and I'm sure there's one or two other departments of the Imperial hierarchy that lack high gothic names.

>I'd go with Ignis Dracorum
>Corvus Sanguine
>Praelium Glacies

Canon names, please.

>Nobody cares, they all call them Valhallans anyway, since they're the only Valhallans they'll ever meet.

Just like everyone who's not a faggot calls Space Wolves Space Wolves and Ultramarines Ultramarines and Imperial Guard Imperial Guard. But if we're gonna go with the "everything totes have high gothic names, they're not just whipped out of nowhere", then they should all have those names. You think official Imperial documents regarding regiments or chapters are just gonna switch to low gothic all of a sudden?

>>52051496
>>>Lupus Spatii
>How about Astra Luporum?
Stars of the Wolf?

The og question was their names in High Gothic, not latin, before the google translate gets completely out of hand. Also latin is one of those languages where shit changes based on contextual use.
It's better to either be slightly poetic or corrupt the latin with fixes from English, I think. Languages debase.
Transliterations are cooler.

>>52051826
Cruor can also be used for blood, but I'm not sure in which contexts it was used instead of sanguinem (-m for plural).

The High lords of Terra are somewhat faggy, so they do speak in High Gothic only. Also, I posted an official image of High Gothic use by the company, and you're asking proof on the Ecuadorian Tortoise Fondling board.
