First for the krumpin and stumpin boiz

What's the best chapter and why is it not the Black Templars?

>>53036652
Because the Dark Angels have cool chaplains

>>53036652
Blood Angels

Not the Black Templars because Psykers are worth having.

Something-that-isnt-first for the Wych Cults, just like our units.

>>53030902
GW literally made a halo reference in the first gathering of the storm books with the relic bolt pistol, just read the fucking description, probably also why you can ram a stormsurge to hell in 7ed

So, Sisters of Silence basically the atheist Sisters of Battle. Their unbelief is just so strong they literally block the warp.

So how far into Age of the Emperor will Chaos find some way to corrupt Guilliman or the Inquisition declare him a heretic or... something.

He's too Noblebright for Grimdark: The Grimdarkening.

I'm guessing he fucks up hardcore somehow and the huge rip in the warp that's covering half the galaxy is directly his fault.

>>53036733
yeah nah

my dudes > your dudes

>>53036733
No, they're atheist because the Emperor founded their order when he was alive, and they're blanks, which is why they can block the warp. The Sisters of Battle would hate them for both of those reasons.

>>53036733
wot you git they're just warp nulls

Iron Hands because we look better in black than you do

I can't decide between Blood Angels and Grey Knights.

8th Edition makes me wonder what the hell is going to happen to both of them.

I really like assault armies, and the new rules on pistols make hand flamers and inferno pistols make them a lot more useful.

>>53036826
Go blood angels.
Can be equally as fancy as grey knights, plenty of conversion potential, one of the best primarchs, way more toys than knights etc etc etc.

>>53036826
I think I'm gonna pick up Iron Hands, with vehicles getting more use I can see a lot of functionality from them since they shit out techmarines and nothing ever wants to die.

It's like playing nurgle marines but instead of being slow as fuck they fix all their metal boxes. If their bonuses are close enough in 8th edition then an IH techmarine in a land raider would be fucking horrifying.

>I can't decide between Blood Angels and Grey Knights.
Blood Angels with allied Grey Knights.

>>53036826
blood angels, if only because there's less mental gymnastics involved in pitting them against non-chaos forces

>>53036916
are we at least going to get a free move when we fail a charge like fantasy?

>>53036916
Never been a problem for any actual assault army. All the real melee models have Fleet or bonuses to make sure they make it into combat.

>>53036652
The best chapter is Deathwatch. Because it's every chapter.

>>53036932
It sounds like it, yeah.

Also you no longer remove casualties from the front so Overwatch doesn't extend the range you need to make the charge when it kills a couple guys.

ALSO you only need to get within 1" of the target so you effectively have a +1 to your roll now.

>>53036939
That chapter that has become irrelevant because the Imperium is pro-Xenos now?

>>53036932
Fair sure you still move the distance rolled, yeah.

What sort of bird wings would look best on Scourges with red armor on sea bases? Raven wings, hawk wings...?

>>53036954
Have they actually said how wound allocation will work?

>>53036826
Might as well wait it out till more information comes to light or the new edition hits. That being said, GKs tend to be a cheaper army to collect with their low model count. The blood angels do have a start collecting box though, doesn't seem to have what you would probably want though, no assault marines.

>>53036973
The assumption is the controlling player has total control over allocating Wounds like in AoS (except I think there's a clause that stops you from playing musical wounds with units of multi-wound models?)

>>53036958
Got to wonder if you guys get paid for memeposting.

>GW is selling plastic Horus Heresy sets
>Forge World now sells 30k Legion Tactical Squads using the GW plastic sprues instead of using the resin ones
Does this mean Forge World may move onto plastic?

>>53036958
Only Guilliman and those close to him are neutral on certain types of Eldar, there's still plenty of room for murdering xenos.

>>53036987
AoS forces you to allocate a wound to a model until the model is dead. Still, seems a bit silly to let a player just allocate all wounds to the guy with a storm shield sitting at the back of a unit. At least with the "allocate to the closest model first, you're rewarded for flanking an infantry unit.

With 8th ed I'm finally going to join the hobby.

The Thousand sons army appeals to me the most but I am turned of by daemons.

You don't need to run any if you don't want to.

New psychic phase means psykers can't act as warp charge batteries for other psykers which means you aren't gimping yourself by not running daemons, and also summoning is getting nerfed.

>>53037141
>under the bus
You mean under the rocks?
But, er, in all seriousness, is Fulgrim the only Daemon Prince with a non-humanoid form? And either way, do you figure his model will just be a big ol' snake, or if they'll humanoid him up a bit?

>>53037226

Thousand Sons and Daemons of Tzeentch may be allies, but I dont think they are going to be the same faction.

>>53037226
If you mean summoning infinite daemons that time have ended

>>53037265
90% of things look to be working just like AoS so it's a fair bet.

>>53037226
We have no idea, but with the changes to summoning and with Daemons of Tzeentch likely changing to resemble their AoS equivalents they should be a lot less viable.
As for the Thousand Sons themselves, the changes to cover, AP and the psychic phase should all serve to make them a lot more powerful.

So though we don't know for sure this is the edition where Daemonless Thousand Sons are most likely to be good.

Fulgrim has always had the body type of a Lamia with extra arms.
Also we don't really know what Perturabo's Daemonic form looks like so his might be less humanoid too, other than that though all of the Daemon Primarchs are fairly humanoid.

Not quite.

If you end your charge 1" or more away, you aren't within 1".

It's very important to correct this misconception before someone tries claiming a roll of 8" is a legal charge against a model 9" away.

>>53037330
Oh you mean those old Epic 40k models?
That was just all the god aligned Primarchs.

Question regarding this Fracture of Biel-Tan horseshit.

So I'm kinda new to this whole "advancing the storyline" thing but basically I have both Eldar and Dark Eldar armies and enjoy them very much. Made all kinds of cool characters and stories for them, especially the Dark Eldar, but I have a cool Biel-Tan Autarch who commands his own armored division. He's like an old 19th century general, very fun to play with, hell bent on Eldar manifest destiny. When I'm playing with him I'll do things like ask if my opponent would like to "discuss terms" after blowing up a Leman Russ with my Fire Prism for instance, lotta flavor. I'm also a big fan of running Lelith Hesparex.

I tried reading the book but I got kinda bored so I read a summery instead. Holy balls, whoever wrote that plot musta been on like, a 400mg dose of Drano or something. So much in it doesn't make sense, and I legit hate the concept of the Ynnari. Everyone's all huggy muggy much with the Imperium, everyone's taking everything so damn seriously, that shit with the Rubric Marines, Biel-Tan is in pieces, apparently Haemonculi can be killed now, like damn. It's like some Dragonball Z kinda deus ex machina and shit.

So what I'm getting at is like...so... what do I do with my army now? Like obviously I can still play it, GW didn't come into my house and light my models on fire. But I liked making my own stories around the fluff and such with my friends. I have so many named sergeants and things, I have like, stories and shit I wrote about their exploits. Yeah it's retarded nerd shit but still like, that's my army yo, I'm a little particular about it. And now it doesn't fit in the lore anymore.

I mean the answer is the same as any 40k fluff I guess I could ignore it but what really worries me is like, what happens when 8th rolls around and Lelith and Biel-Tan are all Ynnari exclusive models/factions or some shit? This pisses me off.

Bie-tan isn't dead and most of them didn't join the Ynnari, with a bunch even hating them. Your guy could be one of those.

Same way I play my infantry and tank-only Tau army. They operate in a time before the creation of Riptides or Ghostkeels, or their commander rejected the use of them because the soldiers consider them too hard to maintain and fit into the combined-arms tactics of the Cadre. Do whatever you want, fuck the lore.

>>53037539
They're separatists.
Like the traitors in loyal legions and vice versa, your guys don't have to go with the flow.

No decision, especially something that big, will have unanimous support from everyone. There's no reason your dudes have to support it.

>>53037576
I thought Biel-Tan lost all their webway portals and they were all 100% down with the clowns and the Dark Eldars and the Yvraine mary sue BS as they cantered their way into Ulthwe. Also isn't Iyanden and Ulthwe also totally down with them too? All my Eldar models are Iyanden, Ulthwe, and Biel-Tan. I don't wanna have to strip them all and come up with my own damn craftworld to be immune from this horseshit.

Plus if I have to run Ynnari to have access to Lelith again I'm gonna be upset.

>>53037339
I don't play 40k with a fucking theodolite. Those two are functionally identical.

>>53037579
I always assume that when servitors run, it's because the attached unit panicked and gave them the wrong order.
Everyone else is retreating; the cyborg slaves are advancing in the wrong direction. Eventually they'll start walking into walls if not stopped.

You know, of the many things you can say about this version of the Primarchs, the one I feel the worst about is Angron. He just seems so 'generic demon dude', I feel bad. I mean, Magnus may look fucking weird, but at least he's memorable.

Is anyone in a similar situation where they like the general idea of a faction but hate the models? Chaos seems like a fun concept but the models are just garbage.

>>53037613
No, they just got a bunch of support from there, people followed them, but tge craftworlds themselves don't ifficially support them.

Ulthwe even threatened to kill Eldrad if he did something stupid sgain, then exiled him and sent the Ynnari away.

>>53037539
Nah you should be fine. The Craftworld broke up into it's component parts but is still around and only a relatively small proportion of the locals joined the Ynnari.

For a decorated man such as himself? Oh ho ho, sir, you are clearly not of good breeding.

He would return home from a long and glorious campaign to find his Craftworld shattered and overrun with religious zealots. After days of deliberation and discussion of the events with the remaining Autarchs of Biel-Tan he would, without firing a shot, surrender his ship, his sword, his tanks, relieve his men, and even bid his beloved Howling Banshee escorts into the command of the Ynnari Swordwind, asking only a single vessel in return.

Broken in spirit he would make his way alone to Commorragh and live as a hedonist, dining with arena performers and regaling drunken tales of valor on the battlefield, occasionally called away to fight in the arenas himself, the last true Autarch of Biel-Tan being nothing but a sideshow amusement for the slavering throngs, wishing each time one of his opponents would give him the soldier's death he was denied in his service.

>until 8th edition

Well that's the rub, isn't it? If I can't take Howling Banshees except as Ynnari it doesn't make sense for them to be the personal escort of a Ynnari-hating Autarch. I'd need to put him out to pasture at that point.

>>53038093

>>53038117

Even Magnus, no one can agree whether it'll have lasting effects on Fenris still.

>>53037621
>purposefully misinterpreting english. The designers clearly don't give a shit about that distinction

English has nothing to do with it. Is 1 less than 1?

The designers wrote the rules very precisely. If they had meant "up to 1" away" they would have said that.

>>53036936
OK, but I like games where assaulting is a situational thing not something only dedicated assault armies stand a chance at. Also, I play shooty orks and I'm concerned they will end up paying for special assault rules which aren't useful to my army.

>>53037249
>And either way, do you figure his model will just be a big ol' snake, or if they'll humanoid him up a bit?

The description in the GS book said he was 'serpentine', I think, so probably staying the same.

Yeah, exact same issue I have. At least there's a good range of third party bits and potential for lots of conversions.

>>53038160
With all the sliding back to older editions, old reanimation protocols will probably be back.
They'll definitely have a low move stat though, possibly even give their opponent positive to hit modifiers in melee.

>>53038110
>Dwarf'd

He got hit by an activated Rune Axe crafted to slay the Chaos Gods. The fact that he lived after the blow shows how powerful he is. Prior to its activation, while the Rune Axe had anti-Chaos properties, it couldn't harm Be'lakor. Like all magical weapons and mundane weapons, they just phase through provided that he sees them.

Which utterly debunks that the daemon in that old battle report is Be'lakor since the rocks should have phased through Be'lakor's body.

>completely irrelevant in 40k

1) his information led to Ahriman going through with the second Rubric that restored Magnus to his full self and power
2) He is instrumental in Abaddon's rise as Warmaster of Chaos and Chaos Ascendant

This makes him responsible for Wrath of Magnus and Fall of Cadia.

Also his shenanigans unwittingly helped the Imperials by causing the Phalanx to appear over Cadia to defend it against the Blackstone Fortress.

>Get fucked over by a couple of IF,

And by the Legion of the Damned and the Chaos Gods that refused to help him and barred any daemon from helping him out.

Dude, is more important than every daemon prince in the setting.

>>53038125
Two Hive fleet tendrils almost merged at one point, right? They had adaptations against basically every major faction between them.

DEldar helped kill them but instead of killing them all they intentionally took some of the ones that had already merged to have them for the arena.

They got loose.

I'd hope to see something that is painstakingly slow/weak on turn one, but builds up momentum/durability as the game goes on. I don't know if that playstyle has been covered (aside from perhaps Dark Eldar).

Thoughts?

Hruds are dimensional outsiders. They have no stake in the setting other than being a temporally stop in their migration.

>>53038447
It's not like CSM didn't get Traitor Legions literally a month before or anything.

I've only ever played Dawn of War. Not all that happy with Dawn of War III, although it has a few good points. The FLGS I play D&D and MTG at has a 40k group and I've gotten taken in by the hype for 8th edition. I want to start a Space Marine or Necron army, my two favorite factions from the Dawn of War games. Should I wait for 8th to drop or start buying models now?

>>53038416
I'm hoping they make it so you don't HAVE to take Chimeras to even be decent. I hate using them.

>>53038470
yes

>>53038470
Necrons aren't gonna get new models any time soon, Space Marines will be changing come 8th edition.

>>53037585
Kataphron Destroyers. They're built for combat, so it makes even less sense.

>>53038470
buy a single squad, paint them up and hold onto your balls as 8th drops. 8th seems so far to be impressing everyone and 90 minute games sound appealing!

>>53038474
I usually take 4 chimeras into 1850 points, I love the damn things! I usually have 2 basilisks, a manticore and a hellhound. Something about the chassis works for me.

>>53038470
Necrons just got new models back in 6th.

>>53038438
The Ultramarines have no record of such an event and the Inquisitor investigating it turned out to be an Alpha Legion sleeper agent.

>>53038370
I just don't see the point.

>>53038507
I noticed when looking at the models at the FLGS. Bit more Egyptian theme, interesting. No one in the shop seems to play Crons or normal Space Marines.

>>53038498
So I might as well get a squad of Scouts or Crons and participate in the FLGS's Shadow Wars campaign until 8th drops?

>>53038481
No, they will be getting one new unit.

>>53038514
Because he want's to try it? It's not really that hard.

>>53038522
>people actually believe this
GW is going to slowly creep the numarines into the game in more and more forms. The old models will be phased out over a long period of time. By 9th edition they will no longer be producing the current marine kits.

>>53038518
that sounds like a great time, plus you'll be chatting with people who will be talking about 8th and, when the game hits, you'll have people to play with.

>>53038339
>Playing nids is indicative of being female

Ftfy

>>53038538
Like they stopped producing the kits that came before the current one
What's the problem?
The numarines aren't even bigger than Deathwatch or Thousand Sons marines, that are sized like the current one but without the power squat

>>53038539
>>53038498
>>53038481
I'll probably start with Space Marines, because I heard they will most likely be in 8th's starter set. Do I have to paint them as they appear on the box? I don't like Ultramarines.

>>53038570
Yes. Games Workshop no longer supports other chapters and most likely the new starter set marines will have molded-on ultramarines insignia on them.

>>53037336
Thing is, Nids aren't shit because of general rules. They're shit because their own Codex is a failed abortion with Down Syndrome. If Cruddace isn't the writer for their own book, they'll be fine.

Is black the best undercoat?

What undercoat should I use for golds?

>>53038570
You don't have to, since they are your dudes and if you want to paint them red, green or gold you can do that

What we'll have to see is if the ones in the starter box are generic space marines or, like the Dark Angels in the previous starting box, they have a ton of symbols of their chapter, that you'd have to cut out if you don't want to play them as Ultramarine or one of their successor chapter

>>53038585
Okay. I'll just play Necrons then.

>>53038481
I don't see Marines changing. The current Tactical Squad box is only 2 years old.

>>53038570
No, but the starter set might come with special snap fit models made for that set. They may have molded on Ultramarines symbols.

>>53038601

>No longer supports other chapters
I mean they got Guiliman but that's it. And we know the New Marines aren't restricted to UM.

>>53038597
White and grey are the best general purpose base coats, but I always pain an undercoat of brown just for parts that will be gold.

Goodbye, then? Not going to indirectly support them by playing the game, are you?

Obviously the imperium as a whole is a dictatorship and the administratum wouldn't like it, but are there planets where they democratically elect planetary governors/ruling governments?

>>53038324
started in 2nd ed playing yiffs, I was into Nordic mythology at the time and liked playing with a Jarl and his merry band of Huscarls drinking and ROFLstomping chaos and nids across the galaxy. Started playing Eldar for a while but found them too fragile but not until I had an Eldar BFG fleet which I dominated our group with, still never did particularly well with them in standard 40k though.
Moved onto Mordheim and Necromunda for a while and played sneaky sneaky Skaven and Delaque who I always did pretty well with and thought would translate to 40k with my new Dark Eldar army... I couldn't have been more wrong. I don't think I won a single game with them and I was already getting bored of the 3edgy5me lore. So obviously the next stop was DA......ahem played Deathwing for a while and they were fun and challenging and gave me satisfying wins.

And then I stopped playing

For 10 years

and then I got back into it, I've had a good thing going with my guard list for a while and was about to move onto a Fallen/Chaos list cause I fancied a change just as 8th was announced so now I'm sitting on my tod until it drops waiting to see whether I want to throw my lot in with the ruinous powers (sort of the plan was that the fallen would think themselves the loyalists) or maybe reprise a Deathwing/yiffwing army

>>53038638
No but you don't get what you need to make even the chapters that they show in the current plastic box sets. Someone should sue them for false advertising. They clearly show the old decals being used but inside there's only the fucking UM transfer sheet, which is worthless because Ultramarines are basically worthless.

>>53038324
I decided on Daemonhunters back in 5th edition because of how, for me, it embodied the all of the best parts of 40k. You had the Inquisition, Imperial Assassins, Stormtroopers, and Grey Knights all in one book. And these were pre-Matt Ward Grey Knights, mind you. Their whole identity was being the white knight that the king (inquisitor) sends to slay the dragon (daemon), they were, at the time, one of the hardest armies to play in 40k because not only did they have almost no unit diversity (without relying on the Inquisition) but they really epitomized the elite unit style of play where you every detail could decide the game, the whole thing just felt right.

And then Matt Ward fucked it all up.

So I realized something. Hey! Ward ruined the theme by giving them baby carriers, and now half my LGS is going to play Baby Carrier Knights, and there I was just imagining game after game of me playing an army with baby carriers in it against other people who are probably playing an Imperial army anyway, if not Grey Knights specifically. So then I thought to myself "I never want to have to worry about fighting against a faction that's supposed to be my ally" and then I realized that one of my concerns from before Matt Ward was that I would have to keep crossing my fingers that a Chaos Daemons player would finally appear for me to be best friends with, but even then that wouldn't be very sportsmanly seeing as how my army is not just designed to be played against Chaos Daemons armies, it's actually designed to *beat* Chaos Daemons armies. Who would actually want that? No wonder there are no Daemon players around here. I should play Chaos Daemons. It'll give me an opportunity to show people how much of a good sport I am.

>>53038665
Planets are free to do whatever the fuck they want as long as they make their tithe and worship the emperor.

>>53038324
I've always like Knights, especially the Crusaders' aesthetic, even when I was small, so BT were like a natural calling. Plus I love big dudes in big armors going into QCQ, and zealots are cool as shit, there's genuinely nothing I don't like in them, except Helbrecht's barehead.

>>53038665
The Imperium is a vast place so there's probably some obscure backwater where that happens.

>>53038665
Yes. The administratum doesn't care as long as they're getting their tithes and the planet also follows Imperial Law.

>>53038665
Probably some but the Imperium wants its tithes and will remove rules who don't deliver. So I wouldn't expect it to be common, see video.

they aren't. alliances are just telling you who CAN be grouped with who, that doesn't mean orks suddenly stop fighting each other or that khorne is suddenly cool with tzeentch.

Man seeing a CGP Grey on /tg/ is one of the weirdest experiences of my week.

Dude could lore my Imperium any day though.
Good luck fitting that shit in five minutes.

You have to go back? Back where? Back in the video logs? Back to the Future? Back to History Class? Back to Poli-Sci Class? Back to School? Back to University? Back to bed? Back to fucking? Back to the list of things this one Poster doesn't agree with so as not to offend them like the shit they are?

You're so fuckin stupid lol

>>53038365
I mostly want to find one that I really enjoy playing, but haven't found one yet.

>>53038357
Nice, I haven't looked into the lore much for quite a few armies. Their aesthetics aren't for me but I understand why others do.

>>53038339
And?

pt. 2

So I invested in Chaos Daemons. I bought some metal nurgling blisters, some metal plaguebearers, some pink horrors (both plastic and metal--this was back when LGS's had yet to sell off the last of their 3rd edition Pink Horrors) and then some Daemonettes and a Keeper of Secrets as an HQ. Plenty of diversity, powerful units, I can learn how to paint on the Nurgle minis and then once I've developed some skill really go the Slaanesh minis justice.

I was so enthusiastic about how well everything was coming along, I started with the Nurglings, moved onto the Plaguebearers, and then painted the Pink Horrors, a Keeper of Secrets, and was trying my hand at painting Daemonettes, but that's when I realized they were actually REALLY hard to paint right. Trying to get them to look anything like what I saw on the box felt next to impossible, my Keeper of Secrets was flawed when it came to the skin but ultimately had enough detail on it to make the overall picture look good but these daemonettes are just impossible for me to get anything right past a flat color...

Then 6th Edition and the new Chaos Daemons codex hit.

Most of what I had established had been outdated by newer miniatures. Sure, I could still use the ones I had... but I can't buy any more of those miniatures. All I have access to now are the plastics. And the two different types really don't jive together. I also noticed that the new book actually made mono-god lists viable.

So at that point I decided to start a mono-god army. My favorite god is Slaanesh. I have a Keeper of Secrets all painted up.

...But everything else in the army seems to involve those daemonettes...

...Second favorite's Nurgle. I've gotten a lot of practice in. And I do love Nurglings. Also possibly the best army to do conversions with next to orks... Yes... Nurgle it shall be!

>>53038771
I fricking love how Sisters of Battle play but I dislike working with metal models. Too bad I basically want to run a horde of them.
Imperial Guard's playstyle hasn't clicked with me yet but I love the steel legion models. Haven't got a chance to play my orks yet (I just bought my army) but I'm excited to try.

>>53038324
Bought the Battle for Macragge set way back and have been a SM fan ever since, and after all these years the Swarm calls to me and I'll be picking up my bugs (for better or worse) soon. Which armies caught your eye?

>>53038787
Why not go for Sisters of Silence?

>>53038775
If you don't play at a GW store you could use 3rd party Daemonetts.

And before they raised the price on them to $60 a box I was using the plastic witch elves kit to make Daemonetts.

>>53038797
Because they don't have any variety or flavor of the Sisters of Battle. Maybe if they would actually be expanded into a proper army.

pt. 3 (final)

From that point onward, I put aside what I had as memorabilia, nurgle minis included, and started fresh with some plastic Nurglings and some plastic Plaguebearers. I made some killer conversions since then, some nurgley chaos spawn that I've used as Beasts of Nurgle and the Palanquin conversion you see here (he's not that glossy in real life I swear) and have been become more and more committed to conversions as time has gone by, just doing little things like changing arm postures, carving out new wounds, filling up old ones, I've actually come to really enjoy the creative freedom I have with a Nurgle army, it's way better than I expected. If you like the idea of being able to easily play god with a knife and some greenstuff, then I would whole-heartedly recommend playing Nurgle Daemons-- they're the best.

>>53037392
There's an option under Renegades and Heretics to have your commander be a Heretek Magos. It gives you +6 FNP a la Skitarii, among other things. This would also make you Allies of Convenience with Necrons.

But 8th is gonna ruin that so don't hold me to it.

>>53038818
You should get a lamp, its hard to see your minis and clearly you put some passion into them

>>53038771
The basic gist of it is that the Thousand Sons were tragic heroes who fell to villainy as a result of their hubris.
They tried to use their powerful magic to prevent the Horus Heresy but ended up only making things worse, and for that they were excommunicated as traitors and almost destroyed by the Space Wolves, now it's been 10,000 years and they're back for vengeance.

>>53038810
Why not use the Raging Heroes Sisters, they are much cheaper and look great. Plus I bet there are other plastic/Resin 3rd Party sculpts out there. Vote with your money and post the pictures to GW. If everyone who wanted plastic Sisters did this and showed GW that people are willing to

>>53038838
another* lamp.

I need two light sources and only have one...

>>53038755

That's not how Grand Alliances work...

>>53038850
Because Raging Heroes sisters look like shit and not 40k at all.

>>53038160
Like undeads in AoS.

Every turn they regen 1d6 warrior models.
Other units will regen fewer models or just regen wounds lost.

Your telling me this doesn't look like a Sister Repentia?

Holy shit, this post by Aaron Dempski-Bowden is the greatest 40k thing I have ever read. He posted it on Bolter and Chainsword, but here is a dakka post about it, open the spoiler

The only parts that match is that it's a female and she has a huge chainsword.

Okay, let's review what makes a Sister Repentia.
She doesn't wear armor Check
She Carries a Big ass Chainsword: Check
She's a Sci-fi Nun Check.

That could work if SoB had generic living Saint.

I used the Harbinger of Menoth as Demon Prince or other big demon thingy. When I run a silly summoning SoB list.

I'm going to miss the stupid summoning power in 8th assuming they don't make my top mid army totally shit

Except she looks like something out of fanart that misses the whole point of 40k in favor of appealing for your dick rather than something actually out of 40k.

>>53039061
>No armour
>Huge power boots.

I would had agree with you but the power boots killed it for me. It reminded me of the huge feet in shaman King.

Anything new?

>>53039282
Yeah I got that, but I know you can shade with more than just the corresponding shade paint.

Like I just used a dark blue shade over green, I wss wondering what are good colours for orange?

>>53039292
Go to the community site and check.

Burnt Umber, brown, Reikland Fleshshade

I've seen some decent plastic sisters converted from kabalite warriors, SM bits and greenstuff.
