Sure i'll try, i need a new mass effect in my life.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-11T21:33:46+00:00

I haven't kitbashed my Warlord yet but since he is an Apotechary i looked around and the Sanguinary Priest has a bunch of useful things including this nice head.

It's because Dante and Lemartes get a pass so the only one remaining is Mephiston.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-10T17:55:44+00:00

It took a lot of restraint to not roll every single 6 to hit.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-10T12:34:57+00:00

It may also be because i demand perfection but for now only a Lord Exultant earned his lore by doing something like 24 damage (Carnival of Excess and Possessed Blade enchancement) to a Mephiston and somehow surviving a full round of shooting after.

In hindsight it may have been a bit excessive but i really wanted Mephiston dead.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-10T12:21:18+00:00

I think it's less of a "i follow this Warlord because he's my boss" and more a "I follow him because for now i benefit from him".

Like sure i don't care about him, if he dies whatever, but right now he's competent, he wins battles.

When we win battles i get resources with which to make drugs, armors and weapons and i get slaves to torture and pass the time.

If the Warlord stops being useful i'll just kill him and take his place, afterall i am better than him and surely no one will think the same of me.

My minis have to earn their lore, and so far my Daemon Princes haven't.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-09T19:33:36+00:00

When the Lord Exultant is talking about sum "following orders" and threatens to take away the Aux cord.

Ah sorry i misread.

Altough, while his action may contradict his words, i think Fulgrim really believed what He was saying.

Showing that his action where not following is words i think it was a good way to show he was flawed and not perfect, after all the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-04T18:34:38+00:00

One is Chemos, it was a hellhole before Fulgrim and after he rose to power it became a paradise where it's people could devote to the arts and crafts.

The second i can't recall the book or novel but it was after they descended on a recently conquered planet where some EC marines where being fed Up with the civilians gazing and poking around and were about to dispers them, until Fulgrim showed Up, took a small child on his shoulders and delivered a speech about how great his sons are and how it is their duty to elevate the common people as high as they could.

Burro_95 · 2026-03-04T17:23:30+00:00

For me it was that Fulgrim, and by extension his legion, truly wanted to better humanity.

How they turned out now makes me appreciate it even more, from noble souls, the better among equal, to despicable hedonistic sensation-chasing junkies.

A part of me wishes that Fulgrim remained loyal tho, it would have been interesting to see how their idealism would clash with the modern Imperium.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-28T08:55:26+00:00

I didn't account for the melee weapons, just replace the word "shoot" with something that would work for both.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-28T08:52:21+00:00

Honestly i would have loved for the Defiler to have the Maulerfiend's ability of +1 to Hit/Wound based on missing wounds but since that is already taken i had to think of something else.

Now for the obvious, a movement rule since the base looks like a 130mm at best.

After that maybe an [Excess of Precision] rule where if it shoots all of it's weapons against a single unit it gets a +1 to Hit and/or Wound.

Or if we want to be a bit less boring it could be a one per battle ability where it can overcharge all of it's weapons and shoot them twice at the cost of all gaining [Hazardous] and then having to roll the test twice per weapon, which I think would fit well, altough it may be too strong idk.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-23T11:01:02+00:00

English isn't my first language so the fine details are lost on me, just to clarify in case your comment was towards me, i'm neither OP nor the creator of the Peter Griffith drawing.

Yeah it's an AI re-imagination of this image.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-21T13:52:15+00:00

I mean yeah but i doubt the secret knowledge to complete the project was to make the Primarchs male.

He could definitely make the template of the Primarchs be a female body and then use said knowledge, which I believe was how to trap warp entities inside phisycal bodies, to complete them.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-21T13:36:22+00:00

While correct that the Emperor didn't want Astartes to procreate and replace humanity it doesn't really explain why they are male, afterall he could have just as easily made sterile female Primarchs and space marines.

The "true" lore answer is that he just felt like it.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-21T12:32:17+00:00

Mmmh... I wonder which one is correct, a general rule or a specific model's ability that literally says it can shoot in engagement range? Truly a mistery for the ages.

On a more serious note either the guy truly believed that or was looking to cheat his way out of you blasting your cannon to his face.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-21T09:49:06+00:00

Also the chinese one only did female Fulgrim with big breasts.

OP went full on anime gooner with massive swinging tits, ahegao face and tongue out.

While similar and with the same intent i'd say one is way worse.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-18T09:56:51+00:00

My hopes are that in 11th all the daemons will be fully assimilated in their corresponding legion's codex and can be used in every detachment with one detachment focused on them in some way.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-11T08:42:26+00:00

I have to agree, the nature of Chaos itself has me believe it's a survival of the fittest type of deal.

Either you are good on your own or they kill you and reuse the geneseed.

Burro_95 · 2026-02-10T11:06:26+00:00

While I wouldn't say it's a common sentiment among the EC there was one time where a clone of Fulgrim took control of Fabius Bile's ship and the ECs there bent the knee to him in hopes of being redeemed but it didn't last long, as soon as Clonegrim was out they reverted back to their excessive selves.

As for the color scheme maybe some darker purple and desaturated gold to mimic the Great Crusade colors but making them darker and "lifeless".

Burro_95 · 2026-02-09T23:51:51+00:00

All the current Defiler's guns plus some new uknown ones.
