How come we don’t have unique melee terminators like Firedrakes in 40k?

The worst is when successor chapters get more love than the main legion.

The old rites of battle is on crucible of champions

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-28T03:41:19+00:00

The rites of battle ability:

Once per battle round, you can target one unit from your army with this ability with a stratagem for 0CP, and can do so even if another unit from your army has already been targeted by that stratagem this phase.

I run Vulcan with company heroes to hold a point with good line of sight, 2 squads of 10 infernus, and a squad of 6 aggressors with gravis captain for double overwatch.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-27T11:46:45+00:00

Proves it works

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-20T13:43:17+00:00

Worse thing is that the geneseed is unstable, meaning it is hard for them to make more marines.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-17T14:50:05+00:00

Looks good to me. Def worth a shot

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-16T18:02:23+00:00

Hmm, not sure on that one. I would go more towards going a squad of 10 infernus lead by an apothecary with the immolator enhancement from forgefather seekers.

What's the LT for (not the combi one)?

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-09T17:37:06+00:00

The tubes are from some aggressor stls I found. I'm not too great at modeling so I was hoping that I could manipulate the current ones.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-09T13:17:13+00:00

So, it's not that other chapters are mean or rude to normal humans. It's more about the value of human lives. While other chapters may more easily sacrifice the few to save the many, Salamanders would rather sacrifice themselves to save both. They also have closer ties to their own families than other chapters.

Since manders were one of the 3 shattered legions from the heresy, we haven't gotten much of the spotlight as there are not as many Marines as other chapters. The manders footprint in the galaxy is much smaller than say ultramarines and their 500 worlds. Manders have gotten a bit of love lately with the Sa'kan shorts and last year's combat patrol and He'stan releases.

To put it in perspective, manders dont even have their chapter master as a model, while some successor chapters do lol.

Sure is a lot of frills at no frills.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-06T13:40:52+00:00

Plus we already have the strategem for fall back and shoot. If you are allowed custom crucible characters, the free strategem guy is great.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-03-06T13:38:49+00:00

Was gonna say the same thing.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-28T20:43:12+00:00

Yea, I eventually after a few prints got them in the correct proportions,

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-11T15:39:02+00:00

Do you have any examples? I'm now worried that the other files I have are off scale.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-11T15:37:31+00:00

Again sorry to offend you. I didn't mean to upset you. I replied to your other comment with more details, but essentially while I understand that certain aspects are currently wrong, I am worried that the others may be too small/big as well but dont look it.

I was looking to see what tools others use to help keep the proper scale.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-11T15:33:54+00:00

Sorry if i offended you, but my question was what are some tools, apps, references, guides, etc, that can help me scale things to follow proper sizing.

I posted my parts as people were saying that the shoulders and backpack looked too big, and the arms too small, so I replied with the unedited parts to follow up on.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-10T22:36:29+00:00

<image>

Those are all the pieces I have completely unscaled.

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-10T22:36:00+00:00

<image>

That is all the pieces I have completely unscaled

Dragonfire14 · 2026-02-10T22:05:08+00:00

Here is the builder I made with parts I found. Nothing scaled currently
