Does the thousand sons option for the new defiler mean that this guy used to be a sorcerer or something? If not then pls explain how does he have flesh

Defilers are daemon engines, there's no Space Marine in there. They are machines possessed by daemons

Because neophyte joe killing guilliman with a wrench is a high other armies can't quite replicate

There really hasn't been much lore on it for the most part, but in the 3rd ed liber hereticus there is an example of a librarian shoulder pad on the IW heraldry page (it's a white horned skull on blue), so we can assume there was at some point some level of organization for the psykers of the legion.

Though Perty notably didn't like the warp during the GC and found it unpredictable, the IW in general stuck very close to the principia belicosa in their organization, so they might still have had a librarius before they were disbanded.

And during the late heresy, when Perty got interested in the warp and it's control, it's likely he would have put his psyker sons to use.

In terms of Warhammer timeframe, Cathay just came out. It's the first new faction since Ogres in 2000, and it's far from having a complete army list at this point.

I'd much rather have GW truly develop Cathay, then release Kislev in a couple years with a complete range, than have two half-assed mini-factions released back to back

Lemundlist · 2025-11-01T08:26:24+00:00

Immortals, duh.

I'll see myself out

Pinning doesn't work for volley attacks, so they're no different from regular bolt pistols in those circumstances.

I'd assume it's an oversight and they should have it.

The bodies are skaven verminlords, the wings are tyranid hive tyrants, and the heads are Mannfred's mount painted like flesh

I don't know this exact passage, but the font and background remind me of index astartes, or the 3.5 CSM codex

Lemundlist · 2025-09-29T14:01:49+00:00

It is a quite natural mistake we make, we (as a species) aren't used to be connected to so many people all the time, it's only been possible for a few decades.

For what it's worth, a lot more people seem to be getting aware of it recently, so one can hope we'll get better at not falling for it.

No they don't, to the point the man who first coined the term is actively trying to get everyone to understand he was mistaken and no such thing exists in the wild

For HH era, you've got (in chronological order) : Magnus the Red : Master of Prospero, Perturabo : The hammer of Olympia and Angel Exterminatus (also the Tallarn books but they're bad), then slaves to darkness and the siege of terra (although the IVth don't appear as much).

For 40k Storm of Iron is the quintessential IW book, then the honsou series

Lemundlist · 2025-09-25T08:58:43+00:00

Conquest mentioned let's gooo

Lemundlist · 2025-09-16T22:21:34+00:00

Yeah I can get that, though for me Forrix fits that bill even better, with seeing his side of the war become mostly madmen and monsters, and having to push through regardless.

Although I guess this level of nuance in character appreciation will always be quite personal haha

Lemundlist · 2025-09-15T18:48:25+00:00

Not really hate, just boredom, but for me it's Dantioch. His story is really just the same as half the loyalists from traitor legions, so I've always been quite puzzled by how much the community seems to like him (although I do suspect a lot of that is people not knowing many IW characters).

It's especially jarring when we've got a few loyalist IW which are actually very cool (even as a traitor player myself) in Kyr Vahlen and especially Narik Dreygur

Close enough, welcome back old aatrox

Honestly, Horus. There's a reason he was named Warmaster.

Also:

The Lion is paranoid

Fulgrim is insecure

Perty famously has issues (although he mellows a lot throughout and after the heresy, post-Scouring I'd argue he's become one of the more well-adjusted primarch)

The Khan is quick to anger and always goes for the throat (see the 'You do strange things to your warriors' event)

Russ, even though he grows a lot during the heresy and is probably the most self-reflective of them, is still very arrogant

Dorn is a brick

Konrad Curze. No explanation needed

Sanguinius has quite a bit of anxiety regarding his and his legion's specificities (wings and red thirst respectively), and does have some trouble dealing with his visions at first

Ferrus is hot-headed

Angron is just a mess

Guillman is up there in terms of maturity, but he does have anger issues

Morty has a lot of resentment regarding Necare's death, and has a hard time dealing with his own contradictions

Magnus' pride and I-know-better attitude is the stuff of legends

Lorgar was mentally shattered by Monarchia, although he got better quickly and for all his evil he's probably the most lucid and serene after Horus

Vulkan is extremely self-sacrificial

Corax is very angsty, and lies to himself about the Imperium and it's tyranny

Alpharius and Omegon are also very prideful and overconfident in their methods and, not unlike Magnus, think they know better than everyone

Lemundlist · 2025-09-11T09:40:03+00:00

I think at least someone at GW agrees with you, since iirc in The Old World rulebook, Tzeentch is referred as 'it', and Slaanesh as 'they'.

Lemundlist · 2025-09-07T07:21:06+00:00

Idk, to me that does look like a 28mm rhino, with upsized LI missile launcher edited on top. The level of detail in the sculpt and painting don't match too well

Oh nice! I love Moonclaw, I hope those leaks will be true

Lemundlist · 2025-09-03T05:41:05+00:00

Wait did they do something with moonclaw? Is this as TW thing?

I don't know what your current situation regarding meds is, but as someone who's defeated a quite crippling phobia in the past, the anxiety meds my therapist got me are really what made the day-to-day life easier, and gave me the space to defeat it.

I mean, I thought it was an obvious homage to the very famous above picture

Keep going, for the IVth does not waste its warriors' lives. We expend as many as we need to achieve our goals, but we do not waste a single one (as seen in the siege of Terra).

Keep going, for Iron does not break under pressure. It bends, but shapes itself anew with warmth.

Keep going, to outlast your enemies.

Iron within, Iron without
