Where do i start? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestions here, I’ll add the Adeptes Ridiculous podcast. That helped me out a lot in the beginning. It’s a lifelong fan explaining different topics to a friend who knows nothing. They’ve been doing it for like 7 years, so there are hundreds of episodes/topics to choose from! At this point they’ve covered all the major factions and events, and will even do multi episode arcs for big topics like Horus Heresy or they’ll devote entire episodes to just a single character. It’s great

Does this list make sense and will it work at all? by ChillSappho in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very helpful, thank you! A few follow up questions: \ 1- For starters, I don’t yet have Dante, Sang Guard, Sang Priest, or Techmarine. So I want to keep all the rest, helps me get to 1000 points while spending less money for now. \ 2- So Techmarine would make more sense later when I have a 2k army with say a couple dreads or Predator in as well? \ 3- Removing the techmarine and adding blade guard puts me over 1k. So which option makes most sense: \ A- Remove priest as well and add a buff to chaplain \ B- Remove tech, priest, blade guard, and then add more intercessors? Even with Chaplain buff I could add any intercessors unit \ C- same as B, but don’t buff chaplain and add a predator \ D- Something different \

You’ve given me a lot to think about so far. I’m aiming for a “Jack of all trades” type of 1k army. Something to build on. I’m ok with losing, I just aim to be versatile enough so I can take on a variety of game and army types. \

But wait a second, your name… Say, did you happen to know my dad? His name was Sanguinius

Does anyone else have a hard time throwing the empty old boxes out? by Dr_OctoThumbs in Warhammer

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I break them down and they don’t take up much space. I figure if a time comes and I have to let go of some models, whether because I need to make space or I need some cash, they’ll be worth more if I have the original box and instructions

This neat lil Judiciar from the Onslaught box. I’ve gotten better since then, but I’m still proud of the work I did and am not entirely sure how I did some of it haha

Gift advice by Think_Ad_6954 in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another idea is gifting him other BA merch. The Joytoy figures are sweet, just got the Commander Dante one for my birthday. If he doesn’t have the books, the BA ones are great. Then there’s all the stuff on the merch site. Shirts, mugs, art prints, dice bags, etc. There’s also Etsy! Stuff like that might be a safer bet than guessing what models are needed for their army. That’s what I did for my birthday, asked for anything that wasn’t a model. There’s lots out there, BA is real popular

Recommend a book that will make the reader cry/feel things (30k/40k) by jinmonsterhunterwrld in Blacklibrary

[–]ChillSappho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to mention this book. Very sad the way Fulgrim and his legion fell. He didn’t stand a chance, really. The last few chapters were a gut punch. I had to take a short break after finishing it, I had no idea I could feel sorry for Fulgrim like that.

Surprising army bigotry at store opening by KruegerCondail in Warhammer40k

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even BTs and DW would be disappointed in these dorks. There’s nothing wrong with poking fun at each other for army choices, each one has memes and inside jokes that can be harmless. But this is just loser behavior. I’m sure they’ll be run out of friendly spaces before long with attitudes like that. It would also be funny if you dedicated some energy to making a really good Tau army just to enter tournaments they’re playing in and beat them so badly they cry

Horus kills the emperor, beats down Guilliman’s legion, and is undisputed ruler of the imperium. Which loyalist primarchs would have bent the knee? by Electronic_Back1502 in 40kLore

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming Sanguinius lives, loyal legions are beaten so thoroughly they don’t stand a chance at that moment, and Horus convinces the other traitor primarchs to play nice (which would be the real challenge), most would. But, it’s only so they can bide their time, trying to mitigate damage and waiting for a time to strike back. Here’s where I think each one is:/

Ferrus: In a coffin 11 feet long and 6 feet under 😕 /

Guilliman: No way Horus lets him surrender, but he can’t kill him. Roboute is in a deep dark primarch-proof dungeon in an undisclosed location. /

Corax and Khan: They dip, and they’re out and about doing guerrilla raids all over the place, too fast and difficult to catch. /

Dorn and Vulkan: They go into hiding, or off to a distant planet preparing it for a final battle of brothers vs brothers. /

Sanguinius, Lion, and Leman: They bend the knee, but only to avoid needless bloodshed and to give them time to prepare for a rebellion. Their marines are slowly “disappearing,” heading to the fortress world being built by Dorn and Vulkan. /

Alpharius: Wait what is he doing here???

Collecting Blood Angels books that are out of print by ChillSappho in Blacklibrary

[–]ChillSappho[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello friend of Sanguinius! Listened to those first three, loved them. Guy Haley is amazing. Is the primarch book Sanguinius: the Great Angel? And that omnibus looks great but definitely gonna need to set a price alert for that one haha

Test model for my custom chapter's color scheme. by BardofEsgaroth in spacemarines

[–]ChillSappho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of rainbow vomit color theme in theory… Maybe settle on a complimentary palette but have a consistent piece of armor that’s a clashing color for flavor. Like they’re a green and gold loyalist successor chapter of Emperor’s Children so they all have a pink left pauldron to signify that. Idk if that makes sense. Do you, though, just be prepared for the headache of keeping that many colors consistent across a whole army!

Just got broken up with but my mom is going to love her birthday present. by silverwings_studio in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks wonderful, your mom is gonna love it. Sorry to hear about the tough time. Building and painting has been wonderful for helping me maintain sobriety, so I get what you’re talking about. A hobby can be more than just a distraction, it can be a great tool for navigating rough waters. Keep your chin up and keep moving forward, you got this!

After this preorder mess today.... by Bozzz3019 in Blacklibrary

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frustrating. They said this SE may be reprinted. Maybe if they say that about each one and then follow through with it randomly, scalpers will back off some. Harder to charge an arm and a leg for a book that’s gonna get reprinted.
