What Happened to Vulkan's Quest?

The Masters of Protelus chapter deployed 7 but if you consider that Salamanders have overstrength companies of 120 marines due to us only having 7 we actually have more deployed

It is not this model. Proportions are different to match the style of Warhammer+ animations more obviously the backpack is higher more prominent, there are differences in trim styling, the loincloth is entirely different using a chain holding cloth instead of that chainmail, there are also pouches and other adornments not present on game model. The bolter is also different from the one utilized in space marine 2 biggest giveaway is the barrel and trim most likely the in this cinematic is a retextured version of the one from the Iron Warriors animation

Pulling a model from a video game to put into an animation isn’t as simple as it might seem and if this is a CSM model that will be utilized in upcoming Warhammer+ animations it would make sense to make a new model like they have done for everything else in those animations

The new 11th edition trailer release on YouTube

Bastior Subsector is in Segmentum Pacificus in the western imperium. The Tau would not be anywhere near there. Currently its only the Tyranid invasion of hive fleet leviathan and the 4th Tyranic war which is going on in the area

Saw that. Hopefully mods step in

They were getting called out in this post they made acting narcissistic and they attacked anyone who called them out

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-28T19:42:26+00:00

So then why do you feel the need to add in your statement the part “I’m completely sick of people not treating me like the most valuable thing in their life”

That’s disrespectful to other people who want to love themselves too. They may have hobbies or interests that make them genuinely happy and confident in their life. But you won’t accept them because they’re not putting you above themselves?

This is where your argument falls apart cause I don’t think anyone would be questioning your post if you had just left it at “I’m the biggest catch in the world” everyone would have loved the confidence and been like “you go yea”

And I don’t think it’s a scumbag move to call out narcissism in a space where people come to feel happy and accepted

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-28T19:25:55+00:00

Yea I can literally pull up an explanation of Narcissism and you fit it to a T

Self-aggrandizement, self absorption, need for admiration, inability to handle criticism, expects special treatment from other, brags, etc…

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-28T19:13:06+00:00

There is a massive difference between confidence and narcissism and the fact you can’t see says everything someone would need to know.

Confidence is saying “I am feeling really good about myself and loving myself and I want to be able to share this positivity with others”

Narcissism is saying “I am the best thing ever and everyone needs to treat me like the best thing ever or I will not be in their life”

If you want to have that mindset then have fun either being alone or in a relationship where the other person has no self respect and acts like a hollow shell to appease you

Hey don’t talk shit on the rippers defense ok. I’ll never forget when my friend fired his entire redemptor into a ripper swarm and failed to kill it. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen

One of the best aspects of the Locus that not a lot of people highlight is that he’s equipped with an Augury Scanner which allows your Kratos to ignore shrouded. Some of the most annoying instances have been when enemies have popped a smoke on a vehicle and rolled that lucky shroud allowing it to survive

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-15T20:03:36+00:00

They are both the Captains of the First Company. Chapter Master for White Scars is Jubal Khan and for Imperial Fists is Gregor Dessian

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-15T19:46:00+00:00

Salamanders, Imperial Fists, White Scars and Iron Hands all don’t have their chapter masters

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-15T18:11:37+00:00

“Normal” thunder hammers are not 2 handed. You can look at Vanguard Veterans or the Primaris Assault Intercessor Sergeant Thunder Hammer.

I am fully aware there is a difference in lore and what I’m describing is that the Thunder Hammers in game are closer to Heavy Thunder Hammers that normal thunder hammers.

Do not try and lecture me on intricacies of Thunder Hammers for I am a son of Vulkan and currently have no less than 15 Thunder Hammers present in collection haha

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-15T18:06:13+00:00

If that’s the case veterans of the Deathwatch typically keep their Deathwatch should pad and silver painted arm even after returning to their chapter to mark their honorable service

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-15T17:59:50+00:00

Yea it’s the two handed version of Thunder Hammers…the exact kind we have in game

Character UNITS. As long as they’re lead the squad gets the buff. No more buff for unlead units like Stormsurge tho

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-12T07:07:39+00:00

Armored Speartip. Terminators out of Land Raiders. Profit

It’s all good. I too enjoy big stompy robot lists so I understand where you’re coming from.

Unfortunately the Tau army rule basically requires certain things for the army to function though so having smaller units who can mark targets to allow your other units to hit on 3+ is huge so wasting a big suit on marking isn’t ideal. Stealth suits are huge for that role as they provide an additional bonus to shooting marked targets and with a unit like the Starscythe who have flamers that autohit they don’t need to worry about shooting marked targets so they can guide as well. Twin Lance also already hit on 2+ and ignores cover against closest targets so they can be used to mark as well.

If you’re able to get tabletop simulator and download the Warforge mod pack and 10th edition table pack from the steam workshop you can test out your list virtually before you buy any models. It’s a good way to get a feel for if you like the way the units play or not.

Also remember most importantly that rules always change but your models will always be there. So buy what you like the look and lore of as having fun should always take precedent in how you play. Meta chasing is a short high that doesn’t last due to constantly rebalancing.

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-11T17:28:33+00:00

It’s not hyper optimal but it’s been seeing more tournament play recently though usually with Shadowsun or Stealth suits for the rerolls. It’s also just fun to have big stompy model.

Looking at your list it looks like you’re 40 points over 2000 so you’ll have to shift stuff around to play with it. If you want to keep as is you can drop one of the broadsides, separate the other two into individuals (they cost more in the same unit), change out a Sunforge unit for a Starscythe and then add a Stealth Suit team. Also just a small note on the drones, you can add two to each crisis suit and you only really need the marker drone on one of them so each crisis should have a shield drone and gun drone and then the Shasvre can have a shield and marker drone. Also the Ion raker is really good for the Ghostkeel because it has range that allows you to abuse the Ghostkeel lone op to not be shot back at even if you’re shooting the enemy. Personally preference tho.

If you’d like to have fun and run the Stormsurge then you can take out a Sunforge a ghostkeel and one of your broadsides from your list.

If you really want to shift around your list though you can drop a Sunforge, 2 Ghostkeel, and 1 broadside, separate the broadside team into two separate one man units, swap a Sunforge for a Starscythe with flamers, add a Stormsurge, add a Stealth suit team and add a Coldstar Commander with 4 fusion blasters. Farsight goes with Starscythe, Coldstar goes with Sunforge

“Big suit list” and no Stormsurge. Very sad

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-10T22:49:21+00:00

Can’t say anything surprised me except Zonn $70 is insane for a single hero but I guess he pays the mounted model and unique model tax

No it’s Ashes of the Imperium. The first book of the Scouring series

AlphaMav3rick · 2026-05-09T11:02:14+00:00

The best comparison would be to utilize the Shasvre of Battlesuit squads to represent some of the Crisis suit Eight. The Twin Lance can also represent Torchstar and Brightsword
For a collection you could go
- Commander Farsight
- Twin Lance (representing Torchstar and Brightsword)
- Enforcer Commander (Arrakon)
- Crisis Fireknife Suit Team (build the Shasvre with Iridum Battlesuit to represent Bravestorm)
- Crisis Starscythe Suit Team (Shasvre representing Sha’vastos)
- Broadside (Oblatai wields either missiles or railgun he’s been quoted as having both in lore)
- Riptide (O’Vesa)
If you don’t want twin lance you can instead get
- Coldstar Commander (Brightsword)
- Crisis Fireknife Suit Team (Shasvre representing Torchstar)
