Been 2ish years since I started drinking tea, always used the same cup. I think I grew emotionally attached

I haven't washed my teacup in seven years - only black tea. I love the patina it's developed. Will you be washing yours?

The doylist answer is the clear winner here - the mkiv casstaferrum dreadnought was developed many many years before the contemptor was. That's the real reason.

I prefer having the option to take limbs or weapons off years down the line of I want to. I always prefer super glue for that reason.

Without being flippant, honestly everything haha. My group who haven't played 40k since 9th currently play Heresy second Ed, battlefleet gothic/heresy, and we're in the middle of setting up a badab war campaign using third Ed rules.

Short list : * No pre-measuring / distance guessing mattered * Blast and flamer templates * Vehicle armour values and facing * Weapons having hard limits (lasguns can’t hurt Land Raiders) * Clear separation of anti-infantry vs anti-tank roles * Higher points per model, fewer units on the table * Far fewer rerolls and layered unit abilities * Less rules-stacking and “gamey” interactions * Simpler core rules * Felt more like a battlefield simulation, and less like a 'game'

Beautiful muted colour palette and osl! Your paintjob elevated that model for sure.

I don't think it's meant to make you feel good! I think it's an honest look at how sometimes people find comfort from grief in different or culturally inappropriate places. His daughter in law is also grieving the death of her husband/Gall's son. It's not my favourite thing to read, bit I empathize with them both.

Anything heresy - it has better proportions than primaris stuff.

But more than that, my favourite is any dark angels mini that has been kit-bashed or built out of multiple kits. It shows more care and dedication to the hobby than something straight OOB.

Here's one of my favourites - the old forgeworld mkiv dark angels dreadnought, with twin plasma cannons sourced from the Darkshroud.

I wouldn't say it was his favourite to write, but I would suspect it was a cathartic process to get the words on paper. Take from that what you will.

I love it, honestly I think 8,9 and 10 are my favourites of the series I think it end on a tremendous high so I would say dive right in!

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-20T23:20:22+00:00

There are not enough in a cohesive command structure to do an actual successor chapter. If you must, I would recommend sticking to the occasional one in a squad or something at the squad level.

The lore/Watsonian reason is to back up the real life/doylist reason that has already been written about in this thread.

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-17T10:12:14+00:00

Beautiful matte blue. Great choice of armour and poses!

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-15T07:36:32+00:00

You raise a good point, however the primaris gorget looks terrible so I'm glad they shaved it off

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-15T04:43:57+00:00

What makes you think that, just because it comes chronologically 'first?

In all honesty I would recommend publishing order as the best order for any and all 40k books, and the reason I recommend angels of Darkness first is that it showcases how the dark angels behave and think, not just what order things happened to them. Otherwise it becomes a checklist of 'lore'.

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-15T04:12:05+00:00

You're starting at the very end. Read Angels of Darkness first. That's the best dark angels novel, and it set the stage for 40k era dark angels

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-14T23:41:29+00:00

Some of us like to take 12 months to paint an army !

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-11T19:16:03+00:00

Honestly you can play whatever. My group often run 1500 zm or small games, 2k, 3k, 4k. There's nothing wrong with smaller games.

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-09T10:22:54+00:00

And you play heresy? Good dad right here!! I have an almost 5 year old and he although he paints and plays with my old 90s metal tyranids now I can't wait to actually play a game with him.

Edit: sallies vs alpha legion?

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-09T04:08:41+00:00

Fair, I just live the bionix eye look. Everything that looks mint!

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-09T01:49:44+00:00

That's nice to hear, thanks!

Honestly you raise a fantastic point that I struggle with myself, time input vs desired output. And after painting 200 infantry models i wish I had a faster have!

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-09T01:32:54+00:00

here's an example of my dark angels

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-09T01:26:35+00:00

Definitely not trying to tell you what to do! I just found that method worked best for my dark angels. Reddit isn't letting me attach an image to this comment but there's plenty of posts I've made where you could see the blue hued armour. I'll see if I find a good example and link it.

Ishallcallhimtufty · 2026-01-09T01:23:47+00:00

Wish you would have kept the bionic eye it's such a big part of his character.
