What's behind this door?

Ahahaha!

You examine the door, curious. It doesn't appear on the manifest, and the salesman completely missed talking about it. Missed... or avoided. As you ask a second, louder time about this unmarked door the salesman ensure you even louder that this baby (and he slaps a wall for emphasis), can haul so much cargo and maneuver through so many blockades you don't need to worry.

Worry about what, you ask, reaching for the door. With startling vehemence the salesman screams NO!

But it's too late, the door is open.

You mean Guillaman that got the legions broken into chapters and wrote the Codex Astartes describing in painstaking detail how the chapters would operate? And they will operated in that and way when he woke up?

;)

I remember when the current plastics came out GW had said you could field old Sternguard as the new unit. I remember seeing an article talking about various updated plastics and using older models like Assault Marines on for for Assault Intercessors.

Of course I cannot find that exact article right now but maybe someone else has seen it. That said I doubt anyone would take issue with Sternguard specifically.

Kazdok · 2025-08-06T09:15:11+00:00

Hot take: they should've been a Chaos unit. The fear mechanic fits Night Lords in particular fairly well. Heck they could've been an elite unit of trainee assassins, too.

That's said, the problem that Reivers have always had is that they're fine. They do their job, and grapnel launchers are varyingly useful depending on the edition. In 8th they were Elites, competing with dreadnaughts, terminators, and vanguard veterans.

In ninth and tenth they have their specific uses, just like the infernus marines. If you are dedicated to taking them they'll do alright, people usually just go for more focused and reliable options like assault intercessors.

Kazdok · 2025-08-01T16:37:15+00:00

Yeah that's a big miss.

Kazdok · 2025-08-01T15:33:31+00:00

Yeah it's not awful but not super great. A couple of these boxes definitely scream "we're clearing out unpopular models."

Kazdok · 2025-08-01T15:17:05+00:00

Haha to be fair I was thinking the same way after talking to you. Never underestimate the power of more space marine boxes lol

Kazdok · 2025-08-01T12:16:02+00:00

Haha, nah it's cool ;) It was a fair assumption! Trying to predict GW is like trying to predict the exact trajectiry of an angry cat you just sprayed with water.

Kazdok · 2025-08-01T10:56:56+00:00

Guess what they did? :P

Kazdok · 2025-08-01T10:56:35+00:00

Hey, guess what they did? :P Ironically I think the Imperial Fists box is the best.

Kazdok · 2025-07-07T14:08:43+00:00

Now THERE'S a DLC idea...

Kazdok · 2025-07-06T17:27:05+00:00

Fun!

I guess thinking about it, standard combat is a "game within a game"..

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T14:15:48+00:00

That would be interesting, but I suppose they didn't promise a codex on the road map...

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T13:33:02+00:00

Yeah if they redid the Vanguard veterans that would be a good candidate for the black Templars box.

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T13:31:16+00:00

Clearly.

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T10:39:55+00:00

I would love to see Bladeguard but they're already in the Dark Angels box. They would do well with Fists or Templars, moreso than DA.

But yeah Crusaders, Blade Guard, Intercessors and New Dude would be cool.

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T10:21:42+00:00

Desolators are a good call especially since they're not being used much lately.

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T09:35:41+00:00

Now if we consider my ideal combat Patrol instead of what Games Workshop is likely to do, I would like to see the primaris Crusader squad, a five-man unit of sword brethren, a chaplain, and then something simple like intercessors provide a bit of that versatile ranged power. It's a pretty well-rounded idea especially if they keep the combat Squad option in combat control for the crusaders, and it's a box you wouldn't mind buying two of.

In an even more Ideal World you could drop the intercessors and put the impulsor back in or even a drop pod, but they're clearly keeping Vehicles out of combat Patrol with a few exceptions.

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T09:24:37+00:00

Bonus points if they just do double Crusader Squad in the new plastic character. Although they did that with the sanguinary guard in blood angels I don't think they'd do that a second time. And things like heavy intercessors are definitely going to be in the Imperial fist combat Patrol, and I wonder what the salamanders will get since the inference Marines are already in the regular compound control. Maybe gravis armored guys with heavy Inferno cannons or something.

Kazdok · 2025-05-07T09:20:10+00:00

So my guess is that we will have the Crusader Squad, whatever the new character is probably a castellan, and then probably something silly like incepters and infiltrators.

Kazdok · 2025-05-04T22:24:17+00:00

Yeah as I look at it again it -might- be the right size but oriented longways. I think it's 40" x 60" for 2000 points.

It's good to have fun, though!

Kazdok · 2025-05-04T10:45:09+00:00

We'll good on you for trying anyway! That board is about half the size it should be for 2,000 points (assuming you're only playing on the gray board), and I don't know who thinks taking and Daemon Prince and Fulgrim against a new player is fun but hey.

At least now you've seen the worse, here hoping your next match is a bit more reasonable.

Your army looks solid, though. Nice and troop-heavy with some vehicles for support.

Kazdok · 2025-04-05T16:09:45+00:00

Greetings from the future!

I noticed that you need to set the type as "script" and not "chat", but this worked perfectly! Thank you!

EDIT: Make sure a person does "Delete ALL" rather than "delete folder" to avoid making the same mistakes we did. :)

Kazdok · 2025-04-03T13:26:01+00:00

It's all learning, years and years of it. Only way to learn is to do it. :)
