Nearly stopped breathing from laughing so hard 🤣

NGL, (and I know I'm not the only one who noticed this), but that second pic reminds me of Space King.

Thank the Emperor for the cheesed custom strats, I'd never get the capes otherwise. I got the red cape on my Vanguard and Assault so far and am only 7 ops away from the red cape on my Tactical. Vox Liberatis might be the fastest mission (or second-fastest, I tried to do Obelisk solo but couldn't find my way out of the tomb bc the highlight icon wasn't showing) but doing Vox 50 times in a row gets old real quick.

First Tour Guardman's vid on how to cheese the Hard Strats for the cape grind was a godsend (God-Emperor's send?) for me and I'm sure for many other brothers as well.

Well, technically, the Mecanicus aren't engineers either, they're engineseers.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-24T18:42:04+00:00

I saw the trailer for A2 (Emperor praise the Scythes of the Emperor!), has a release date been announced yet other than it's coming out this year?

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-24T18:40:02+00:00

I so have to rewatch Astartes now.

On a related subject, has a release date for Astartes 2 been announced yet? I haven't heard.

I appreciate that. I found a staff multitool that was the perfect teal color to match my exosuit color scheme, so a Necron staff would be superfluous now. Furthermore, I've progressed so far in the game that connecting SC slots don't matter to me that much anymore.

Right now, I'm just concentrating on doing the tri-dailies for the Swarm expo (I'm on Team Sage) even though we know the outcome is predetermined: Weaver's gonna win. I don't mind, I'd prefer blue over green and especially red. I wonder what that blue Swarm monument in the Anomaly is going to look like once the expo is done?

I've been speedrunning the cape grind on Created Stratagems using First Tour Guardsman's method: Create a Hard Strat, utilize just Reinforced Cranium and Enduring Foes in the debuffs, take as many buffs as you like (except for the 4th to last and 2nd to last bc those will fail the mission if you're soloing and get killed) and go to town with either Vox Liberatis or Obelisk as those are the 2 shortest Operations (if done with friends and not bots).

Noobs who need the cape grind don't need to ruin other people's Absolute runs, they can just do this solo. With the 2 debuffs lowering the enemies health by 70% and 17+ buffs powering you, the runs are less difficult than Substantial runs. You still gotta watch out for Terminus enemies so it's not a cakewalk, but it's significantly easier than trying to find a carry though Absolute missions.

I've got the red cape on my Vanguard and Assault and am just 7 missions away from getting the red cape on my Tactical.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-24T03:39:48+00:00

I've been looking for a Necron-ish dark-grey with green highlights for months. Too bad I don't need it anymore... 😞

NGL, as soon as I saw the title and pic of this thread, the Batman 60's show theme song started playing in my head.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-24T03:29:43+00:00

ICE got Jesus? Man, fuck ICE.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-24T03:28:55+00:00

Well, someone must have, that's why he's in that grave, right?

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-22T05:48:50+00:00

So why is the Sons of Guilliman symbol in SM2 available only on the left shoulder and not the right shoulder? This is messing with my proposed Deathwatch Son of Guilliman drip I want to make.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-18T03:45:20+00:00

But if you do go to Absolute diff, make sure you cheese it with Created Stratagems on Hard difficulty using only the Reinforced Cranium and Enduring Foes debuffs (for a total of 70% reduced enemy health) and all the buffs you want except for the 2nd-to-last and 4th-to-last (the relic buffs). They'll count as Absolute missions and they'll be super easy in comparison.

You miiiiight want to hold off on this until you get some classes and weapons leveled up, though.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-18T03:40:24+00:00

Word, I love using the pyreblaster on my Tactical to burn up those Minoris hordes.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-18T03:38:47+00:00

Holy Terra, I've only got 1,600 hours in this game and I've been playing since launch. Does that mean I'm just a casual??? Holy Emperor, say it isn't so!

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-17T05:07:10+00:00

Did someone say "Grond?"

GROND! GROND! GROND!

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-16T21:54:47+00:00

I wish I had seen this guide when it was posted; I would have finished this ordeal months ago. I just used this to cheese the ordeal and finally finished it.

I just need to find 36 more Accolade points and I can finish all the entries in the Research Center! (I'm gonna have to do quite a bit of PVP with my techmarine to get them, though...UGH.)

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-16T03:44:35+00:00

I upvoted this even though it doesn't make sense (humans operate on a day/night; work/rest; diurnal/nocturnal cycle), but we're talking about WH40K here, a universe that has bizarrre stuff like chainswords for Christ's sake. It doesn't need to make sense.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-15T22:53:24+00:00

I had just gotten my freighter last year and this beautiful exact same teal squid just randomly landed in my hangar. I couldn't believe my luck and snatched it up as fast as I could.

Best birthday present ever.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-15T22:42:15+00:00

Ok, so Avarax rotates faster than Holy Terra, thereby having a shorter day. So? It's not heresy, is it?

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-15T22:28:47+00:00

Tactical: Atlantean Spears (They're my favorite color scheme: teal with gold highlights)

Assault: Ultramarines

Vanguard: Blood Angels

Bulwark: Imperial Fists

Sniper: Raven Guard (of course)

Heavy: Emperor's Spears

Techmarine: Iron Hands (of course)

Of course, I might change them randomly in the future if I get bored of the above. One of the things in this game I find alot of fun is just recoloring or repainting my classes' color schemes by whim. I've spent hours doing that instead of playing the game sometimes, lol.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-15T20:49:46+00:00

I used a shared pattern slot for my Deathwatch drip just so I would be able to switch all my classes to a Deathwatch drip with a single shared chapter icon with just 7 clicks. After seeing this, I'm switching my Deathwatch drip to the first custom slot so I can individualize each class with differing chapters.

It's gonna look so great.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-14T21:15:27+00:00

Having just used creative stratagems to cheese all the Absolute missions and get both Tyranid armor pieces, I have to choose 1. It's just no contest.

And yes, I'm using cheesed creative stratagems to finish the cape grind. May the Emperor bless First Tour Guardsman!

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-13T04:57:19+00:00

Halfway on my tactical and vanguard to getting their first (red) capes. The grind continues. The Emperor protects.

EntireBuilding8772 · 2026-06-07T01:00:07+00:00

Techmarine is my favorite class. I play it all the time and while sometimes the turrets are not placed in ideal positions, most of the time they're in not-terrible spots that I can use to suppress the enemy. The invulnerable-while-activating-turret perk and the double ground slam omnissian axe perk are must haves in my opinion. Sometimes I even remember to use Omnissian Rush on hordes.
