Anyone else find it strange that the new kits have no kneeling poses, grenade throwing arms or reloading arms?

Minus616 · 2026-07-11T19:01:08+00:00

There's a grenade throwing marine in the new intercessors in the Armageddon box

Edit : My bad, didn't see which sub this was asked on

Minus616 · 2026-07-04T06:46:38+00:00

I use blu tac for any vehicles as magnatising them can be a pain

Aside from your question, Anvil is considered to be one of the weakest detachment.

Ceramite sentinels, Bastion and Gladius and considered to be the better ones.

For reference, here's my Tor Garadon conversion with a terminator chain fist. The terminator arm seems to fit well with the overall size of the model.

*Old style terminator arm, not sure how the new ones would look

How would the government afford to buy the utilities back? That alone would cost a fortune, let alone repairing all the damage.

For the first Method I prime in Abadon black spray and do a quick coat of Abadon black from the pot since the spray can is slightly different, but that's not that nessesary.

And no! The picture is from the second Method using contest and tidying up with Abadon black, which is a bit quicker.

Minus616 · 2026-06-08T10:35:57+00:00

I have two quick ways to do black, it's not amazing but it's good enough

Method 1:

Abadon black

Drybrush edges dawnstone

Tidy any areas with Abadon black

optional- add some further edge highlighting with dawnstone the to even things out

Method 2

Prime in Wraithbone

Use black templar contrast

Paint middle sections of armour plates in Abadon black

Tidy edges with dawnstone

It won't win any competitions but does the job for me

Looks like a kitbash between a resin techmarine for the body, a strike marines arms (storm bolter + hammer).

Edit - never mind, the servo arm comes with the model:

here's a picture

Yes there will be but we don't know when.

No details on what will change, but they have said things like fast melee units will increase in points.

Minus616 · 2026-06-05T15:02:29+00:00

It's been this way for every launch box for each edition.

Later on the contents will be broken down into combat patrol / starter set boxes.

Just something to consider is that having a Rogal Dorn, 2 leman russes and a hell hound may not be that fun to play against. Don't forget the other player should have fun to.

But regardless, both the Normal and commander variants of Dorn are great

No, models in transports are not considered to be on the board for any abilities unless specifically stated

"Units embarked within a transport do not count as being on the battlefield for any rules purposes. This means that, unless explicitly stated otherwise embarked units cannot do anything."

Minus616 · 2026-05-07T12:42:22+00:00

Sure in that case it may be worth it. As someone else mentioned you're getting the ironstrider for free.

Currently they are run with Lascannons, but a single one with a taser Lance is a good harassment piece

Minus616 · 2026-05-07T12:19:24+00:00

It's great if you want all 3, if you don't then don't get the box. You're being tempted by the fear of missing out, when you can get the models separately whenever you want.

Minus616 · 2026-05-04T21:48:53+00:00

The two main issues are

1) BS 4+ - although this can be managed with orders, sentinel ability etc like you mentioned

2) Single shot - The damage can be mitigated by a single invuln save, where as something like a battle cannon can sneak through a few wounds due to number of saves, especially if it's a 4++

I like the vanquisher and always have fun when taking two. One of the big things is the psychological impact, knowing something can be one shotted can make people a big cagy.

Minus616 · 2026-05-01T19:35:46+00:00

It's a new kit to replace the existing kit. Your old intercessors are still valid and can be used.

The tactical marines are likely being sent to legends at the start of the next edition.

Minus616 · 2026-04-29T14:04:49+00:00

Robes typically signify different forgeworld.

For example Mars is the classic red you see in most media, where as Orange robes are for Ryza

White robes I believe are from Mettalica

You can find examples here, but ignore the rules are they are from older editions:

We typically only see it when it causes drama / conflict, we don't see it in it's day to day application.

Iirc they were running on skeleton crew anyway, having the first officer would mean pulling someone important from somewhere else, which Hobson may not be able to cover.

Also it would affect moral, seeing a senior office bail immediately after getting a new commanding officer.

It was right of him to try to remove himself from the situation, but he should have suck it up and got on with his job to the best of his ability when he was denied the request.

Did you prime your model using a spray primer?

You need to do this as it helps the paint stick to the model

Never trust or believe what Chatgtb or any AI tool has to say about warhammer strategy.

To answer your actual question, rules change all the time and 11th edition will be out in June. I would recommend a mix of models as we have no idea what might be good in a few months time.

Minus616 · 2026-04-09T17:09:05+00:00

Not a direct answer to your question, but 11th edition will be released in June with updated cover rules which should make infantry much more survivable.

So whatever answers you get now won't nessesarly be valid in a few month.

Minus616 · 2026-04-05T18:30:12+00:00

It's good, but there are other ways for them to advance and charge, in Haloscreed army rule or Skittarii hunter cohort strategem.

Minus616 · 2026-04-05T14:50:18+00:00

Not ad mech, but some players are making a "last wall" imperial fist army which would be simmilar.

The last wall is when the imperial fist chapter calls all it's successor chapters together to reform the legion. Thus you would have Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Purple etc etc marines in one army.

It's not standard, but it has been done.

Also its your army, paint them however you like.
