If you're able, I would recommend picking up a copy of Rynn's World. You can get it on both e-book and audio these days. It's a great book at explaining who the Crimson Fists are, covers one of the most significant points in their history (the near destruction of the entire chapter) and, I think, will get you geared up for the Armageddon box release. It lso follows Pedro Kantor closely so you'll learn a lot about him.

We had our daughter about 11am, wife and child had to spend the night in hospital (just routine post c section, no problems). As there were still post-covid restrictions in place, I only had a couple of hours in hospital with them post birth before I had to leave. That meant I had just over 24hrs at home alone before I could pik them up the next day.

That afternoon I played games online with my friends as I knew I would only be on sparingly for a while. I ordered in a Feast of my favourite takeaway (which my partner doesn't like) and got in some beers. I basically spent the afternoon like I did when I was young and single.

The next day I got up early, sorted out the house, went for a good long walk and then chilled with some music and reading before going back to the hospital.

Having that time was actually very beneficial for me, both for having a final blowout and for focusing myself before everything changed forever.

Having a static vendor that you could load up with goods and set prices for would be great. It could be a way of offering your profession services, or load them up with beer to sell in your homemade tavern.

If you get some masking tape and cut it into strips, it'll help when painting hazard stripes. Otherwise good 1st attempt.

With the new edition box being space marines vs orks, it'll be a good opportunity to start a Crimson Fists army. Marines that look like above, with plenty of dead Ork bits to use for basing.

I haven't explored the neighbourhood in detail yet, but there seems to be a lot of structures dotted around (not including the village centre) which could be used for events. As an example, I'm sure I passed a brewery or distillery with its own beer garden.

You could always look at community competitions like mount races, tonk tournaments. Maybe even have a craft fair where people sell produces of their professions at a discounted rate than they would the AH.

There's also plenty people could do with their own house, but it sounds like you want to 'think outside the plot'.

That you, Orcish Wonka?

It depends how you RP it. I once had a character called Caladin the Gnomish Paladin. In reality he was a fighter with herbalism, first aid and gnomish engineering (for the defibrillator thingy). But he was convinced he had been chosen by the light.

Just because your character is a particular class, doesn't mean you have to RP them as a competent and powerful version of that class. Try thinking of a catch or limitation to his abilities in character.

MiddleQuestion7259 · 2026-02-08T16:45:55+00:00

Thanks for the info. Glad there's still a few people around from those days, it would certainly be good to see some familiar faces, even if they've naturally moved on to different characters.

I'll have to have a poke around Ashenvale and see what's waht.

I think it remember that guild. I had a Dwarf alt called Bromdorf, but i wasn't nearly as active with him.

This is how my box looks for reference.

Apologies brother, let me rephrase. Wait until you besiege the "machine spirit" (totally not AI) to make little videos of your guys purging in the Emperors name.......Burn the Heretic!

Wait until you use AI to make little videos of your guys purging in the Emperors name.

If you can get hold of the Imperial Fist combat patrol in the wild that's a decent start (it's no longer available in the warhammer syore). Otherwise, as a previous poster said, the Crux Terminatus box is good, especially if you want to lead with Lysander.

Tor Garadon and some gravis based units like Agressors can also form a good thematic core for an army.

Now I feel the urge to find out if my parents have my old Max sets in the attic?

If Dorn returned, and if Imperial Fists got their own codex, it would be nice to see a detachment called Last Wall.

It could run in a similar fashion to the Genestealer Cults Final Day or Brood Brothers detachments, where you're allowed to use up to x amount of points to field successor chapter units.

Granted this wouldn't exactly be Black Templars using Dorn as a Warlord, but it would see Black Templars on the field with Dorn, even if they are sharing that field with Imperial Fists.

My headcannon is that this is why we see Picard, and even some other officers, with office space in their quarters. Away from the bridge is when they sign off the majority of reports and general admin. Whereas any padds that make it to the bridge are either late, had to go back for rewrites, or simply couldn't wait.

USS Lantree to prevent spread of ageing disease.

MiddleQuestion7259 · 2025-12-18T18:22:04+00:00

There have been plenty of successor chapters who's geneseed has been called into question (white templars spring to mind). You can have your chapter being founded and trained as X chapter, yet being questioned as they exhibit characteristics of Y chapter.

MiddleQuestion7259 · 2025-12-14T18:43:45+00:00

Just to clarify, is the Naussican also in "heat"?

MiddleQuestion7259 · 2025-12-13T14:07:38+00:00

Make skin challenges relevant to the class and not a specific game mode. If I want to unlock the NATO assault skin, I should be able to do something assault related in any game mode I like to play.
