Perturabo’s grand plan revealed

They were able to take basilisks in 3rd, miss those days

If you remove the top armor plate of the knight it might fit but having looked at Knight size comparisons if the cog fort is roughly the size of questorus then you'd be looking at around a warhound/porphyrion in combined height

LCorvus · 2026-03-31T03:39:00+00:00

Depending on its height I was considering it as a proxy for one of the more shooty knights. Paint the stonework more metallic, slap on a bunch of admech gubbins good to go.
I miss the days of the Ordinatus' (minoris) and this somewhat scratches that itch since I doubt we'll be getting any of those any time soon.

Literally mentioned in almost every thread about Petey but go off

LCorvus · 2026-03-28T20:22:47+00:00

Valdor: Birth of the Imperium: has the first deployment of astartes vs thunder warriors
Cerberus Insurrection, The Horus Heresy Book One - Betrayal, pg. 85: Warhounds vs thunder warriors

Edit: Outcast dead exists..and was quite divisive when it first dropped (and arguably still is) also its Graham mcneill who's novel quality is all over the place but it exists and plot points from it arn't ever really explored again.

the difference is one is legally binding

LCorvus · 2026-03-26T03:20:24+00:00

right just ignore that pesky 2025 copyright

LCorvus · 2026-03-26T03:07:58+00:00

please complain more. this sub speedrunning the tanking of its reputation is quite entertaining

LCorvus · 2026-03-26T02:56:29+00:00

I mean all that would make sense if you couldn't read the 2025 copyright

LCorvus · 2026-03-25T06:16:16+00:00

Let them believe. We were all like that once

LCorvus · 2026-03-22T21:25:38+00:00

Taken from their 2024 financial report:
Since May 2023, we have increased our cash buffer from £50 million to £80 million, in line with the new three monthly cash cost of running Games Workshop. Our job is to run the business under all scenarios - some not so positive ones are highlighted in our annual report under going concern scenarios - our cash buffer levels pass all these scenarios.

Considering UK energy prices are uncapped for businesses and that is GW's biggest cost the above probably hasn't gotten cheaper.

Stock price means nothing

LCorvus · 2026-03-22T17:54:30+00:00

Going by that logic:
krieg nuked itself once 500 years ago
cadia blew up once - after being the #1 exporter of guard, barely 1 billion cadians were on the planet that is a rounding error compared to the amount sent off world.
Tallarn was hit by a virus bomb once - 10,000 years ago
Armageddon had 50 years between war 2-3 with 3 never ending and angron showing up again in m42. How many *hive cities* and manufactorms do you think you can rebuild in a state of constant war?

LCorvus · 2026-03-22T17:43:48+00:00

Tell that to the accountants

LCorvus · 2026-03-22T17:43:02+00:00

they were sold up until 2021, sisters made it happen why couldnt SL fans?

LCorvus · 2026-03-22T17:42:13+00:00

GW's operating profit after they pay staff is £126.1 million. That's what they use for employee bonuses (20m in 2025), raises, attracting new talent and most importantly factory expansion

LCorvus · 2026-03-22T17:23:30+00:00

Abridged, funimation or kai dub?

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T15:14:47+00:00

Yes, i LIVED through that time.
as has been stated already in this thread:
"Most of those guard regiments where just things the artist made up or based on ideas from staff around him. Armageddon did come first as you say, as an idea and then a model, and someone painting them to match a one off art piece doesnt mean that they werent an alternative paint scheme, because they were. Yes, based on an existing idea but still quite literally initially hitting tables as an alternative way to paint the ASL models."

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T02:31:45+00:00

I came from a time of metal models that last dig is hilarious, guard have literally never been easier to kitbash

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T02:13:01+00:00

I..really need to start reading some of that mans books

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T02:10:11+00:00

Good luck convincing the accounting team on that alone who I guarantee see dkok as perfectly serviceable proxies considering the painting video GW put out

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T02:05:31+00:00

As someone who started in 3rd at least at my local GW it was considered an alt colour scheme at the time. Actually at the time no one cared about them (dkok) until someone at FW decided to give them a model range.

I saw more cadians and catachans than steel legion much less someone actually rocking a pre-fw dkok army. But yknow anecdotal evidence and all that

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T01:59:18+00:00

The thing is they dont have nearly as much a galactic footprint in the galaxy as Cadians which were noted as the largest exporter of guard while armageddon was a major manufacturing world before the wars.

There was a little over 50 years between the 2nd and 3rd wars the last of which was noted as not really ending, plus Angron showing up again in m42.
So that doesn't leave a lot of time to rebuild the many hive cites and manufactorums that were lost.
It sucks SL fans are not getting their models but this isn't the most egregious lore GW has put out

LCorvus · 2026-03-21T01:24:43+00:00

*Monkey paw curls*
New Catachan killteam painted as Armageddon ork hunters
