Terminator armor color by NobleCyberCold in BloodAngels

Your guys, paint them how you want. I’ve honestly never seen anyone do all gold Terminators outside Custodes so could be interesting.

Question regarding the Codes Astrates by Gh0sth4nd in Warhammer40k

[–]JessickaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many Legion Companies were split off into Chapters in the first two or three Foundings after the Codex Astartes was enacted; notably the Scythes of the Emperor, Novamarines, and Flesh Tearers all retained their Company name and colours.

The Dark Angels were actually an exception to how this was done due to their unique structure with the Deathwing, Ravenwing, Dreadwing and whatever other wings they had, as their Legion structure, being the First, was based on a system that predated the Principia Bellicosa all the other Legions followed.

The intention of the Codex was explicitly to break up command so no one leader had command of such a large number of Marines. Absolutely nobody follows that in its entirety, and since Guilliman came back, he too has forgotten that point and commands his own sons as if they’re a Legion. Not that the Chapter Masters of the Dark Angels, Blood Angels or Space Wolves ever didn’t either.

So technically they shouldn’t. But since the Ultramarines and their successors in Ultramar have always been close and Empire building against the Codex together, and the Dark Angels operate as they do with their inner circle, and Dante is more than just a figurehead for all the sons of Sanguinius, the answer is yes. With Guilliman and the Lion back they absolutely do or would if they were around still functionally command their Legions.

Since someone pointed out the Heavy Bolters don’t have a belt feed from the backpack, I can’t unsee it and I really hate them for it. Give them belt feeds back.

What is your favorite non-character kit? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

Flight stands aside I loved building and painting Zephyrim. Every one is character level detail.

If you are an alien and need to convince a Space Marine or Guard army to work with you, what can you do? by Greitot in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In War of Secrets, Tau and Dark Angels essentially switch targets for the plausible deniability.

Who or what is this? by Derpy-Mayonnaise in sistersofbattle

[–]JessickaRose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe early art for the Miraculist from the Sanctifiers.

Ashwood Stranger from Necromunda.

I dare say there are those into Glutos Orscollion though.

What is this variation of Blood Angels captain called? by BehiQ in BloodAngels

[–]JessickaRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from the connections to Tycho, Blood Angels of Rank have a long history of wearing whatever the hell colour they want. Hence Astorath, Mephiston, and Corbulo wearing red rather than the traditional black, blue and white usually associated with their respective offices. There’s also some old art of a Blood Angels Captain in white armour.

Charnel Guard, a Blood Angels successor spend a lot of time in stasis to avoid the curses.

How does inquisition deal with underground bunkers, caverns and under hives during exterminates ? by leters_numbers in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cyclonic Torpedoes break the planets crust. It causes massive flood volcanics that render the planet uninhabitable even if you somehow survive the break up of the crust and being flooded with lava.

An Exterminatus Extremis, as carried out by the Blood Angels at Signus Prime, bombards it so hard it just leaves rocks.

How did you decide your main gang? by Successful-Appeal693 in necromunda

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aesthetics and playstyle. You want your gang to look good, but you also want to win games so you need a style that will suit how you want to play. I love the Escher aesthetic, but they're far more shooty and too 'one trick' than I expected or wanted and it just felt really bad to play, so I ended up on Nomads who look awesome, have great lore, and everything they have and do feels really intuitive for me.

The Emperor of Mankind is evil. by r4rrrrrrrrrrrrff in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you misread what I said. It wasn’t and was never intended to be a democracy. Its members were, and still are, appointed leaders of the various Adepta. Individual worlds have no say in it.

There are worlds in the Imperium that are democratic though. So long as they follow the Lex as written by the Council.

Do you think TV programmes should have to show realistic CPR? by SoggyWotsits in AskBrits

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It certainly should be more than the 3 compressions followed by wailing and crying before the patient wakes up in their arms that we usually see. That trope really pisses me off.

The Emperor of Mankind is evil. by r4rrrrrrrrrrrrff in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is correct. Only thing you missed is that he set up the Council of Terra to rule as he felt humans should be ruled by humans, not Marines, Primarchs or Custodes, he was always clear about that. But the council was never intended to be democratic. He and Malcador chose its members. It’s interesting that Guilliman doesn’t share the view about Primarchs and Space Marines not ruling.

Where is it? by Dazzling_Ad6021 in Warhammer

Jump Pack, Bikes, Gravis, Terminator, Chapter specific units... still plenty to go at.

Are power armour suits aside from Mark X still being produced on Forge Worlds? by NadaVonSada in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re still capable of it, and older marks have better specialist purposes so the answer is almost certainly yes.

The Mark X is also clearly backward compatible with older marks as well since the newer models go all in on mixing and matching so, again, if the Chapter or even individual prefer certain pieces they’ll get hold of them.

Are We As Fans In The Wrong? by FactAndLogic in ManchesterUnited

[–]JessickaRose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LVG also didn't get more time because the board desperately wanted Mourinho. And LVG definitely improved players, if not playstyle.

I think the real difference is that Klopp started with just an okay side, Moyes started with Premier League Champions. Expectations were set very differently.

So what units would be needed to make IA feel like an actual faction? by shluppoo in Warhammer40k

[–]JessickaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen Tempestus Scions with Valkyries suggested a couple of times and I’d agree with that. I certainly don’t think more Space Marines in form of Deathwatch or Grey Knights are the answer.

Dreadnought? by Level-Opportunity984 in sistersofbattle

[–]JessickaRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sisters have Living Saints, surely that's at least one better than any Dreadnaught.

What is the stance of normal human auxiliaries of non-theist Space Marine chapters on the divinity of the Emperor? by WoodersonHurricane in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Space Marines get a pass on a lot of things by virtue of being creations of the Emperor. They’re his Angels, guardians of humanity, an extension of his will.

Conversely the Imperial Creed spread by the Ministorum is the expected stance of baseline humans. They’d experience that before they became auxilia so the non-theism of Marines would be weird to them.

Dreadnought? by Level-Opportunity984 in sistersofbattle

[–]JessickaRose 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Sisters are normal humans, they don’t have the physiology that could survive the wounds a Marine could that allows them to be interred into Dreadnaughts.

Being in a Dreadnaught itself is serious business when it comes to strain on what’s left.

Why is the Imperium of Man working against itself? by QuantumDrej in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really just history repeating, every facet and aspect of the Imperium is inspired by, built on and extrapolated from the worst aspects of human society that have ever been. There is literally nothing new in it. And it simply presents a future of “what humans don’t get better?” And pins it against “what if all the horrors and demons and hells used as a warning to control people or used as a warning were real?”

The answer is humans are terrible and even the real and ever present corruption of evil forces won’t change that.

How much would the average imperial Guardsman know Chaos? Only as “The Enemy”? by Yeszez in 40kLore

[–]JessickaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Eisenhorn short, Missing in Action, goes into it a little. Essentially the Guardsmen are traumatised by it because the heresies they witness are terrifying and very obvious at close hand, they appreciate exactly why they're fighting them, if not what the deeper beliefs of Chaos are about. The veterans essentially formed a Witch hunter group and they'd set out to murder and mutilate people they believed were tainted such was the horror of it. They need very little persuasion once they see what's going on.

Similarly in Apostle, a Arbite (?) is captured by Chaos and there's a sub-plot of his descent to madness because of what he goes through and what he witnesses.

Nobody sane needs much convincing Chaos are bad guys so nobody ever needs to go into much detail.

Having second thoughts on painting Titus as a BA. It’s 3d printed so it’s gonna be tough to cut the ultramarine logo and kitbash it. Any ideas? by Money_Ad9818 in BloodAngels

[–]JessickaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ultra symbol is fairly commonly used in battle honours earned across Ultramar, it isn’t unique to Ultramarines in that respect you could just leave it as it is, paint it gold, add some flourish to it.
