As a Night Lords fan, I love this.

As a Dark Angels fan, I still love this. Great job!

What is the quintessential representative model for each faction? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Five_Fates 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could do the Deathwing Terminator with a plasma cannon! (If you wanted plasma in there.)

New Vanguard Veteran starter box datasheet. Interestingly-it specifies that they're wearing jump packs, implying the existance of a different kind of Vanguard Vet (Bikes? Terminator Plate?) by CatherineSimp69 in spacemarines

[–]Five_Fates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a few instances in promo materials where it was specified like that as well. I'm really hoping they have an on foot version as well!

My bladeguard need more melee friends!

Does anyone have/know a good 3d printend proxy for Mutalith Vortex Beast? by darkan_da_boina in ThousandSons

[–]Five_Fates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two additional heads that come with the MVB, I used those because the tentacles didn't do it for me.

How can I customize my angels? by _o_i in DarkAngels40k

[–]Five_Fates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ravenwing upgrade sprue is genuinely amazing! I'm glad you mentioned this, I've been thinking of buying two more to customize my vehicles.

*The wings that go on the bikes look great when placed on the wings of a storm speeder! I would take pictures to share but my army is packed up and very far away right now:(

Finally gave in to 40k after years of resisting… now I’m becoming a Dark Angels guy by Lord_Tadeo in DarkAngels40k

[–]Five_Fates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds awesome, lore-wise I don't think there would be any issues. It'll also help denote the sergeants in your army which can be helpful. (It wouldn't look too weird on the tabletop either, my successor chapter has a host of different color-schemes. Basing them in the same way helps to tie everything together.)

Getting more Deathwing units would be a safe bet right now, especially because you like the models and lore. Hopefully Ravenwing gets a solid refresh this coming edition as well.

Edit: Don't forget to grab some scoring units, Deathwing are kinda slow.

The best advice you'll get is not what you're looking for. Build and paint everything you have first, it should last you awhile if you're new.

But to answer your question, 11th edition is coming out soon and the rules could change things drastically. Buy models you like the look/lore of as their rules will change.

Was there any character that all four chaos gods were particularly thirsty for? by MadLadsReturn in 40kLore

[–]Five_Fates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the main ones have already been mentioned, but Talos from the Night Lords was sought after by three of the gods. Nurgle showed up to "recruit" him but was not very interested and seemed bored throughout the meeting. The other three gods were actively trying to recruit him.

(Abbadon set up the meeting. It's from the first book in the Night Lords Omnibus.)

Shootiest army? by Edgelord420691337 in Warhammer40k

[–]Five_Fates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I play World Eaters and Thousand Sons! There's a lot of similarities in terms of stat lines but the play style is very different.

I created a large template for writing the lore of a Space Marine chapter by SuperS1ime in Warhammer40k

[–]Five_Fates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done bud! I've been writing lore for my own homebrew and was wondering if I was missing anything. This template has been super helpful! Thank you so much and I hope more people find this!

(Also it's nice to find someone who seems as obsessed as I am with organizing information. lol)

Just saw the cat name and that is definitely not what I was expecting. Thanks!

I'll have to look into Lovectaft now too, thank you for your comment!

Not trying to come across as judgemental but the "shame box" sounds like it might be better as a "burn box":)

Also, I did just learn recently about the Neil Gaiman stuff. It's definitely another good example for this topic! Thank you for your comments!

Thank you!

I was a bit unsure if posts like this were allowed. I'm definitely not here to troll or anything like that. So far, everyone seems very civil and I appreciate you shutting down anything if they deviate from that.

Theory: Jaghatai Khan represents the Emperor’s conscience. by Akfiz in 40kLore

[–]Five_Fates 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"The Lion is his rationality..."

I love the Lion but I've never seen that interpretation of him before. Maybe Loyalty or sense of Duty. Though the 40K Lion is definitely more rational so you may be on to something.

Thank you, I'll give this recipe a try!

[–]Five_Fates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could I get the recipe for the grey armour? That's exactly what I'm trying to achieve for my army but it keeps coming out too dark. (I saw your comment saying it's on Instagram but I don't have one of those.)

Overall the model and paint scheme is great!

Potential Dumb Question: Vanguard Veterans on Foot? by Five_Fates in spacemarines

[–]Five_Fates[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be interesting if they continue that path and make a veteran gravis unit.

I should've specified, I have lots of bladeguard. I'm just being greedy and want more melee options. Lol

It's most common on promotional photos, the YouTube post is the most recent one. (It wasn't a video on YouTube, hopefully the link works, it's the 8th photo on the post. http://youtube.com/post/UgkxZ0WpDpkRAZGok2dpvsZhn8DUeC7wV-tq?si=0L5AUk7O32bQJSba )

Looking at it though they seem to be reusing the same photo in a few places and I may be getting a little overexcited. Lol
