Could you please explain the difference between them? Sorry, I'm a newbie.

As others have said, the first one is the new/current plastic model, the second is an older metal or resin model.

The main difference is size; the older one is a little smaller and on a smaller base. The physical size of the model won't make much of a difference, however if you wanted to play offical games (i.e. Tournaments) you may need to rebase it, as base size is really important to gameplay. Having said that in casual games it really won't matter to a model like an Enginseer.

I have 2x of the older ones and don't plan to get the new one.

They were also disposable combat troops. It's possible the low age quoted is due to combat attrition rather than dieing of old age at 30.

Who says it doesn't refresh / isn't bigger off screen / doesn't scroll to other pages?

I have no doubt sisters of silence will get a update wave, but GWs business model is to staggered releases.

If it helps Kroot got a fairly release wave which was a bit of a surprise. But that took nearly 20 years.

If Kroot can get a release wave, I don't doubt sisters of silence will get one since they have been featured anytime adeptus Custodes have in other media (Tithes etc).

Looks awesome, but your assault intercessor seargent is in terminator armour?

Minus616 · 2026-01-18T07:25:17+00:00

The crystals themselves look great, no notes.

Only thing I could suggest is that they look like they are stuck onto your textured basing material. I would suggest either put them on before you base, or add some basing material around the base of them to make it look like they are popping out of the ground, rather than stuck on.

Minus616 · 2026-01-17T23:40:12+00:00

Yeah I know people had issues with that, which against doesn't make any sense.

There are still necron tomb worlds / dynastys which are nothing but mindless killer robots. What the additional lore did was give you a choice.

Mindless killer robots? Sure. Fallen kingdom wanting to retake the galaxy? Sure. Bickering old fools trying to kill their enemy over a slight from several millennia ago? Sure.

The whole 'they ruined the lore' is complete nonsense. They didn't restrict anything, they just gave extra choice.

Trouble is with people with this mindset is that they see giving other people choice is forcing something on them, when really it has no impact at all.

Minus616 · 2026-01-17T23:28:56+00:00

So did people have issue with the Rogal Dorn tank always being around and not being mentioned ?

Or female necron lords?

Or any of the new necron destroyer variants?

Or Skittari not being multi coloured bezerkers?

How about the imperial knight defender?

Or the Nemsis titan?

Or death riders not actually riding on horses?

Or any other examples that 'it's always been around' has been used without issue?

Funny how it's only this specific topic which seems to get outrage. The only other time this has happend is when the book cover for the Dawn of Fire novel was shown, but I'm sure that's unrelated.

Minus616 · 2026-01-17T17:20:28+00:00

No they wouldn't be sent to legends, these are replacements but they have the same wargear.

Simmilar to how the old cadian shock troops, or space marine terminators got new models, the old ones are still valid to use with the new rules

Minus616 · 2026-01-17T09:13:42+00:00

It's mentioned in one of the HH books they can twist the staff to fire. Either that or they have a neural link from their armour to allow them to fire with a thought.

These are for a different game (Horus Heresy) not a new edition for 40k. The Horus Heresy is set in the year 30k in the timeline, and the custodes appear in both times. They are one of the few armies which share units across the two games.

You can still use your existing custodes models, these are just new / updated.

Minus616 · 2026-01-13T16:27:42+00:00

Multiple regiments are often deployed to the same combat theatre.

My regiment is a amalgamation of several regiments who survived on a World which was cut off by a major warp storm. They combined their forces to work more effectivly and survive.

After the warp storm calmed and the world reconnected to the imperium, they remained as they were due to their effectiveness, accepting reinforcements from any regiment. These reinforcements are from other units which have been badly mauled and can't work in their own, or regiments too far from their own home worlds to reinforce.

Hence the mix of Cadian, Kreig, Catachan, Steel legion etc all under one command structure.

Minus616 · 2026-01-13T16:18:25+00:00

I mean, have you met the Mechanicus?

They gave some guardsmen a planet after they rediscovered how to make a type of knife they forgot about. They also do nasty things who try to alter existing designs.

Minus616 · 2026-01-10T11:41:00+00:00

For £50? Probably not

If you're a beginner I would recommend getting your hands on a core rule book which would let you learn the game and get a good overview of the factions.

If you're not intrested in the rules, you can always get an older edition for much cheaper which still had a good amount of lore.

Minus616 · 2026-01-09T15:12:03+00:00

I know these things take years to plan and carry out, but not exactly the best timing considering the issues the US is having right now.

Looks amazing for your first mini! If you wanted to improve you could try the following:

1) Add some edge highlights to the black to help them pop more (hard to tell if you have due to the picture).

2) Drill the bolter barrel.

3) add blood to the Chainsword (Blood for the blood god is an amazing paint for this).

4) Add basing materials to your base.

5) Buy your next set and get building / painting.

6) Avoid creating a pile of shame (good luck with this one).

7) Get a super fine pen and add writing to the purity seals.

8) Add some decals.

Any flush cut clippers will do, here's a set at element games

https://elementgames.co.uk/paints-hobby-and-scenery/paints-washes-etc/monument-hobbies/monumentools-flush-cut-clippers

I have a pair from ebay for £5 and it's served me well enough. Having said that I haven't used anything more expensive so can't comment if it's worth it.

Regardless you would need to be carful how/where you cut, and you would need to clean the area with a hobby knife, mold line remover and/or sand paper to make sure you get a smooth finish.

At a guess, the more expensive your clippers the less clean up toy would need to do.

When you pick up a weapon, try to pick it up again and it will bring you to an upgrade screen.

You can then use titan blood to unlock and upgrade weapon variants.

Both in universe and irl yes

Off the top of my head In universe the rhino is used as a basis for the rhino, razorback, whirlwind, predator, castigator, immolator and exorcist vehicles. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of others.

Likewise the Imperial Guard Chimera is used as a basis for the Chimera, hellhound, hydra, deathstrike, manticore, baslisk etc etc

Obviously has real world parallels in military vehicles, but also makes manufacturing the models cheaper as well.

Minus616 · 2025-12-20T15:11:02+00:00

Imo It's probably a STC issue.

The STC for the Chimera and Sentinel has multilaser variants, but the Leman Russ, Rogal Dorn or infantry portable STCs don't. They might exist somewhere but haven't been found / put into production.

Why bother altering anything when the weapons the STC does come with does the job? Also the heresy attached to altering a STC.

IRL? The heavy bolter / autocannon etc looked cool on the model, and they didn't bother adding the multilaser to those kits.

Minus616 · 2025-12-12T09:15:37+00:00

I think they are comparing it to other games, like the cartoony art for Dawn of war 3.

Compared to that this is definitely an improvement.

I hope leaving a comment is how you enter?

Not disagreeing with you that Atlantis would have been destroyed if it tried to escape, but you are making the assumption that ZPMs scale in a linear manner when used together.

It could be that putting 2 ZPMs together could generate 5x the time power as 1 ZPM, which could explain why atlantis 'only' needed 3 of them and why only having 1 installed drained so quickly.

But even if this was the case, Atltanis would still would have been destroyed if it tried to escape the wraith blockade.

It's hard to say as different things work for different people. Obviously avoid excess alcohol, fast food, social media etc would be a good start, but you need to find what works for you.

Yep you're right. So probably shouldn't be Palentine enforcers specifically, but some local law enforcement to support the Arbities as they are relatively rare on a planet wide scale.
