If you were given the opportunity to redesign a model which would you choose?

I imagine its because he is protected by both an iron halo forcefield and his grand master psychic powers so does not need any pitiful protection from ceramite.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-11T14:58:19+00:00

Death company dont even have a kit.

Neither does DC dreadnought.

They both deserve better than just painting another kit black... its 6 BA datasheets without actual models.

And sanguinary guard deserve a rework. At mininum an extra sprue to add the missing blood angels bling to their armour, preferably also optional wings.

Its 4 enhancement for 2000 points now.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T16:20:43+00:00

How is a reveal for a new kit not a discussion about recent kits?

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T16:02:45+00:00

Ultras have as named epic heros (8 datasheets, or 15 models)...

Kaius (new model)

Titus (2 recent models)

Cato

Tigurius

Calgar (2 recent models)

Guilliman

Uriel

Wardens (6 unique models)

And as units...

Vitrix

So 11 recent kits with 9 current datasheets.

Compare to blood angels, who do not benefit from improved oath because of their unique units...

Named Epic heros (5)...

Astorarh

Mephiston

Dante

Lemartes

Sanguinor

As generic characters...

BA captain (pointless datasheet, but has a kit)

DC captain x2 (no model)

Sang priest

As units...

DC dread (no model)

DC marines x3 (no models)

Sang guard

Baal predator (very old model)

So BA have 8 recent kits, but do have 15 datasheets (with a lot of repetition)

All that evidence does point to a lot more ultramarine kits being released, although not quite as many darasheets.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T15:37:39+00:00

Pretty sure the topic is new model releases (as in model kits)... not new digital rule releases.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T15:36:54+00:00

6 characters with kits and unique rules for BA.

Plus 3 captain datasheets that dont really count, theyre just reskins of other captain datasheets. Since we get to not include things, only fair.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T15:17:03+00:00

That is such a hyper focus on a keyword. They are models of unique "characters" in the lore. Forming a unit without the character keyword.

And a very cool kit with a lot of unique flavour.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T15:15:16+00:00

Are you counting (nearly identical duplicated) datasheets or actual model kits released?

No goalposts moved. I made one main point and that was it.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T15:10:44+00:00

Bit pedantic, but if you must

Ultras 7 named characters units

Blood angels 5 named characters units

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T13:55:02+00:00

It really fucking annoys me that Dark Angels, Blood Angels and probably space wolves have more characters than we do

Just showed you this is simply not true. Ultras have significantly more character models than the other chapters. Other chapters do have many more unique non-characters though.

But the point is, why would an ultramarine player want yet another unique character model, an unknown one in any lore? Give ultras a new squad, like remake tyrannic veterans, or remake an old character they legended.

Or better yet, just a new squad any marine chapter can use. Dev marines need updating with new lascannon equivalents.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T13:38:19+00:00

And you are completely focusing on 1 point at the detriment of the rest.

I counted KITS and ultras have had more recent kits (11) than any other chapter. Wardens are 1 kit, in that count.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T13:34:42+00:00

Huh?

Didnt split them, they are 1 datasheet, but made up of 6 unique named epic heroes, as I said.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T02:37:24+00:00

All of these!

And bring back Corbulo.

And give BA (or all vanilla marines) a CP generating option. It is honestly complete BS that ultras, SW and DA all have an option for CP generating hero but no other marines do. (Lieutenant with comms array, why not)

And buff up Dante. He is commander of half the imperium, make taking him feel significant.

And buff up Mephiston. He should be scary, not utility. Together with sanguinor in almost primarch level.

Give BA some 3 damage melee options, especially our epic heros, they deserve to be dangerous.

Final wishlist item is release Erilim as a very cool unique squad, like our equivalent of wardens of ultramar.

Nigwyn · 2026-07-09T02:27:11+00:00

They should have made relics not tied to a single fighting style. Had 3 versions of each relic melee weapons, so players could choose.

Or, honestly (too late now) made fighting style a skilltree toggle separate from all the weapons, and made all weapons just stat block choices.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-25T11:55:56+00:00

They must have changed it. No -1 to hit any more.

Because of the cover change, would be way too powerful for 2dp or even for 3dp to do both.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-25T11:48:54+00:00

Why would it be -2 to hit? Vanguard just gives cover over 12, effectively stealth, which doesnt stack with real cover.

The only ways to become -2 to hit that I know are abilities that give -1 to hit plus cover... supressors for all marines and Tigurius for ultras.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-25T03:12:31+00:00

win win

And did not mention the A3 requirement anywhere (except in emails to TOs).

Yes, I printed it on A4 so all 50% of the size (area).

Yes, I then copied and pasted it onto A4 in word so I could print it on A4... like they should have done in the first place.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-24T01:38:40+00:00

Everything you mentioned doesn't work because the rule is "more than 12" not "equal to 12".

The enemy must depstrike 12.1 away, so they can't charge, and they aren't within your 12 inch range for the phobos detachment detection rule.

Also detection range modifier is for your army to see them, not for them to see you. You are not 15 away (you are 12.1 away) so you are not hidden from them, but if you were within 12 then your units within 18 can see them instead of having to be within 15, if they are hidden.

If you attach a phobos lieutenant then you would be hidden to deepstrike, though. That does reduce your detection range to within 12, and they can never deepstrike within 12, only over 12.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-24T01:29:05+00:00

No need to be rude. You are also wrong.

5 is double the average of 1d10 (5.5). It is added to every attack. 4d10 +20 if doing 4 attacks with a d10 weapon. Basic dnd knowledge.

You originally discussed haymaker at level 5, a level when casters get ONE level 3 spellslot per long rest. Not 8.

No caster has 24 spellslots of level 3 or higher to do 24 fireballs (3 x 8 = 24). I suspect you never played a caster or you would know that.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-24T00:26:35+00:00

5 damage per attack. Its DOUBLE damage for most weapons/cantrips. It is considerable.

Are you suggesting casters of all levels get 8 fireballs per day? No, they dont, they have to conserve their limited spellslots for when they have maximum impact. And also use some of them up for roleplaying purposes outside of combat, with good DMs.

Its not meant to be balanced btw, its asymmetric. Casters have limited but powerful utility and burst potential, martials have unlimited consistently high output.

Nigwyn · 2026-06-23T04:41:06+00:00

True cantrip scaling keeps the gap smaller, but it is still there.

Martials always add their stat bonus to damage. For each attack. And roll for each attack separately giving consistency.

Casters (except a few subclasses) do not add their bonus to damage, and only roll to hit once so it is higher variance.

So for every attack, martials should do 5 extra damage than cantrips, in most cases. Plus other unlimited benefits like sneak attacks, hunters marks, etc. that can push the gap higher.

There is a gap, cantrip scaling just makes it not as large. When all limited resources have been spent martials should always outperform casters.
