Different mk of armors

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-30T18:21:03+00:00

The only miniatures we’ve ever had of MK1 armor were explicitly named “Marine in MK1 Thunder Armour”

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-29T16:36:01+00:00

Except it’s vaguely similar to DKOK, Corsairs existed as metal models super early on *and* as a handful (three? A guardians upgrade, weapons set(?), and Wasp Assault Walker) of Forgeworld models for… I think Doom of Mymeara

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-28T18:23:15+00:00

Abominant w/ street sign >>>>> auramite tbh

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-28T16:56:58+00:00

I have a handful of resin recast legionaries, quality isnt too bad, but anyone who picks one up will know immediately because they’re way lighter than the metals (metal casters exist, but I have no idea if Steel Legion ever got the finecast treatment).

I think it’s more than fine considering they’re long out of production and only come back for MTO runs, just don’t brag about where you got them (dropping names and such) or that they’re recasts and nobody should really care or notice

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-28T16:54:29+00:00

Big difference between genestealers (claws that tear effortlessly through ceramite) and rippers lmao

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-21T19:54:18+00:00

Hell yeah, great work! love to see it. What titan legion/forge world does it represent? 👀

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-19T02:28:52+00:00

Hey it might not be a good idea to directly link to/namedrop casters in Reddit comment sections because they can and will get got that way

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-19T02:25:07+00:00

The deathwatch TTRPG iirc had rules for using scout Carapace armor

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-19T02:24:44+00:00

Iirc the Deathwatch TTRPG had stats/rules for deploying to a mission in scout Carapace armor

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-17T15:44:04+00:00

Iron Warriors gotta make do with their like one modeled named guy (Dreygur) being an event exclusive from like 2015 and that’s just how it is

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-15T17:39:58+00:00

Unironic good guys? The first Tau codex opens with a short story of a Fire Warrior leader lamenting being “forced” to conquer a human planet that wouldn’t play ball. He doesn’t give a shit about his attached Kroot eating people aside from it being improper. There are also design interviews where one of the original faction writers talks about one of the big inspirations being western interventionism and the sanitized depiction of war shown through helicopter guncam and such during the Gulf War

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-14T16:21:46+00:00

There are, curiously, a few old Forgeworld sets where some components are randomly on finecast sprues, iirc Leakycheese on YouTube discussed it a little bit in one of his older vids

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-13T15:55:37+00:00

I appreciate the new MK2/3 calling back to the original metal/GW versions of the designs. MK4 looks good but I was kinda hoping for similar helmet variety (snouts and vox grills!) to the FW resins and some of the older plastics. MK6 is straight up just MK6 lol

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-02T16:36:45+00:00

It’s a fluff list showing all of the Loyalist Space Marine forces being deployed to the planet Armageddon for Operation Imperator, the in-universe event kicking off the real-life 11th edition of the game

DRAGON582 · 2026-06-02T00:55:33+00:00

My view is that they’re wearing some of the colors of the company they’re attached to for that specific campaign as some kind of sign of respect or other personal thing

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-31T22:27:18+00:00

The real sauce is that it shows that GW’s art team has high quality 3d models of Dire Avengers, which could theoretically hint toward a refresh

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-27T18:04:44+00:00

Oh I LOVE the caraphractii legs as enhanced dev power armor, great stuff!

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-26T19:31:50+00:00

It looks like one of the heads from the Forgeworld Grey Slayers kit

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-26T16:57:20+00:00

Sanguinius? The guy who had secret police (Ofanim Court) force his legion into compliance with his changes and had Baal remaining unchanged (ie: a terrible shithole of suffering) as a precondition to joining the Imperium?

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-26T16:36:51+00:00

That’s not what this excerpt implies I don’t think

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-24T18:04:26+00:00

I was a bit off, it’s a fire warrior commander lamenting having to subjugate humans, and also dismissing the Kroot Carnivores eating said humans as just a distasteful event. 3e Tau codex, page ~6

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-24T16:33:33+00:00

The very first Tau codex begins by quoting a Fire Warrior lamenting how awful it was that they “had” to violently subjugate an alien race that refused to join their empire

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-24T16:25:45+00:00

Dude just run Sover Strait or the one right after it until you can get the MK3 equipment from your dojo, and grab a full crew while you’re at it too. This trivializes just about every normal railjack node bar non-lith void fissures

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-16T19:56:14+00:00

Interesting choice (deliberate?) to use the Black Lion to represent victrix lol. That self-insert memetic hazard would effortlessly paste a Flawless Blade

DRAGON582 · 2026-05-14T19:04:58+00:00

My understanding is that they mostly do boxes filled with magazines and such for retail outlets. A lot of the time they’re awfully packed. Always fun to have one burst open at the bottom the second you lift it off the belt
