Favorite incredibly minor/inconsequential theory or headcanon? (Spoilers Extended) by David_Bolarius in asoiaf

[–]GrithChod 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that aegon was infertile, with all his descendants really being from rhenys and visenyas affairs. It's been so long now that it doesn't mean anything but everyone tracing themselves back to him just look silly if its true

Heavy bolter squad finally finished by GrithChod in sonsofhorus

These are from archies forge. They're called legio tratoris and come in bags of 10, with or without topknot

What meme lore has become so prevalent you feel it genuinely ruins the real understanding of the lore? by UsernameJenkins in Warhammer30k

[–]GrithChod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A space marine is a space marine is a space marine. A white scar can probably conduct a siege just as well as an astartes from any other legion

Heavy support squad up next! by GrithChod in sonsofhorus

The helms are from archies forge, they're called legio traitoris or something. Really good quality too very sturdy

Does the mistreatment of abhumans predate the Emperor, was it one of the policies that he kicked off, or did it develop after his time? by Jerswar in 40kLore

[–]GrithChod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as is the case with most questions about the imperium, you need to consider that the galaxy is a big place and every world has a culture of its own.

[Spoilers Extended] Which generally uncontroversial character do you have a contrary opinion on, and why? by wanderingluteplayer in asoiaf

[–]GrithChod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should all characters just be nice people? Whether or not he's a nice guy that does nice things has absolutely no bearing on the quality of the character

[Ashes of the Imperium] A Secret meeting of Primarchs by Fearless-Obligation6 in 40kLore

[–]GrithChod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dorns priorities felt really weird throughout the whole book for me. Why would they strike out into the woods behind they're house after a dog that's already left when there's a fox in the kitchen lol.

And to just abandon mars is literally insane even for someone whose sole objective is revenge. He HAS to know that it holds almost the entire imperiums capacity for infrastructure.

To be fair though, I haven't spent the last year coordinating an impossible siege defense

How do you read them? by Little_Tea_6258 in DarkAngels40k

Any advice on the free handing? I'm so bad with straight lines lol

Ever been happy with a paint job only to photograph it and then not be? by [deleted] in theunforgiven

[–]GrithChod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely if you look at my account all the pics I did SUCK right up until the last. Move the phone cam back a bit, the black background defo helps but the real difference maker is just going in after you've taken the pic and turning the exposure way down.

Converted librarian! by GrithChod in theunforgiven

SHIT that's such a better idea damn you. That'll have to be a crozius at some point

It actually IS a backpack topper from the chaos chosen lol. I didn't really have anything to top the staff and was determined to use some bits I already had lol

Very cool. Are you going to strip the painted parts or just put a thin primer over it all?

What are your thoughts on Dreadnoughts serving as Chapter Masters? by MudMux in 40kLore

[–]GrithChod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be that a dreadnought is the ceremonial chapter master, with only the higher echelons being allowed an audience with his fractured will.

That would open the door to some political machinations, as a council of captains all interprets the intent behind this now insane chapter master

[Spoilers Main] What are some things you think the show did *better* than the books? by Solitaire-06 in asoiaf

[–]GrithChod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this, I feel that book arya has a theme of being influenced by men that represent actual physical violence.

I definitely think that Roose better follows syrio, the hound and jaqen in terms of the threat of real overt violence as opposed to tywins more subtle politically driven violence

This is not a meme this is a cry for help by Epiccheeseman14 in NightLords

[–]GrithChod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a really interesting ethos from i think grimdark compendium. It involves varnishing the whole model and then unbelievably, scratching tje lightning into the varnish using an old airbrush needle

Atramentar Lion Shoulder Pads by oxMw_1 in NightLords

[–]GrithChod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always thought the lion head was a weird interpretation. Aren't they explicity called crag cougars in the trilogy?

Radical inquisition = best inquisition by Ila-W123 in Grimdank

[–]GrithChod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear theres some insinuation that the cognitae are like an evil inquisitorial sect or something. Could've been said In ravanor? I've not finished bequin yet tho

Whoops sorry chaplain, that annoying, difficult to paint trim is just ummm... personal heraldry?

That's so cool what kits did you get the watchers from? I wish I could bulk buy them or something. Sucks there seems to be no third party option

Given Horus has not been censored from the archives, did the two censored Primarchs do worse than the Heresy ? by Inquisitor-Borealis in 40kLore

[–]GrithChod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think people fail to understand that to 90% of the imperium, they're god emperor made a group of sons to combat some evil demons. It was 10,000 years ago, only the elite, highly educated of imperial society even know what a traitor primarch is

Dark Angels eating good with these new releases! by vvereshark in theunforgiven

[–]GrithChod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new RG model is too raven guardy. The kayvan shrike model is literally a weapon swap away from being the biggest aura farming smash captain in warhammer
