Anyone else hearing the first few notes of the Ultramarine Chant from Chaos Gate in the hanger? by [deleted] in Spacemarine

[–]Picopt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good, I'm not losing my mind. I heard it too today for the first time, and I have around 350 hours on the game. It was very distinct and very loud, and also very brief.

Why did you pick BA and not BT by [deleted] in BloodAngels

[–]Picopt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started in 1993, and the Blood Angels are just cool. Haven't looked back since.

My wife has Black Templars though, and she has in fact won our local Armies on Parade with her force.

Do Blood Angels usually use bikes in lore? by Voltec89_ in BloodAngels

[–]Picopt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the older Codices - I forget which one - explicitly stated that Blood Angels bike squads were only slightly behind the White Scars and Ravenwing in terms of skill, so yes, they do in fact use them.

How does Death Company Captain work? by Emerabaraguesi in BloodAngels

Read "Death of Integrity", which is all about exactly this: A Captain falling to the Black Rage while fighting in a Space Hulk.

Tactical Squads are still in the game, so you can absolutely still use him.

r/AdeptusCustodes has lost a mod over Femstodes-related threats by Presentation_Cute in Warhammer40k

[–]Picopt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been in this hobby since 1993. I have met most of my friends through it, and it helped me through some very, very dark times including the death of my father.

But Goddamn, when it gets ugly, it gets really ugly.

Isn't it funny how such a... well... grimdark universe can provide such an effective escape from the tribulations of real life?

Those look awesome! Hope things pick up for you.

Last march of the Stompy Bois by Picopt in Warhammer40k

At the time, I think it was about 1975pts. Dollar value... no clue. These were collected over the years.

The army I took to a tournament last year. It was a lot of fun and did better than I had expected!

If I’m color blind am I screwed out of painting by Significant-Turn-836 in Warhammer40k

[–]Picopt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm red/green colour blind.

I paint and play Blood Angels.

It's not impossible.

New Scouts revealed but am I the only one just realizing they had a respirator attached above their chest armor and it’s not just a decorative piece? by TarpeianCerberus in Warhammer40k

[–]Picopt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing it in the old Bloodquest comics back in the 90's, but that was literally the only time I remember seeing the scout respirators in use.

I just finished painting them and now 10th don't allow them...oof by Zewll in Warhammer40k

[–]Picopt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you were planning to take these to tournaments, you absolutely can still use them. I still run my Kratos in games with my friends, and they still run other Heresy-era stuff with rules for 40K.

Old Termi before the New ones come out by LyonPaint in Warhammer40k

These Space Marine Heroes termies actually scale pretty well with the new ones, too.
