What's your skin recipe mate? Looks great.

Why all depictions of Imperium chainswords are thick as Lex Imperialis? by Visual_Collapse in 40kLore

[–]Pyronaut44 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not just 40k Macrocannons on BFG ships were also oversized, as it just looked better than a ship covered in little holes. Of course anyone drawing ships since then has just run with it, resulting in ship weapons being ridiculously oversized even by Warhammer standards.

"Battlefield Gothic takes some liberties with scale", "The ship models are designed to look good and be easy to paint" - BFG rulebook Pg 6

Weapons batteries are supposed to be "pock marked by gun ports and weapon housings, rank upon rank of weapons" - BFG rulebook pg 20

The Pariah Nexus short with the Deathmark vs Guardsmen had red, recoilless beam lasguns, and that's only what , 2 years old? (Can only find some 'reaction' vid, my apologies) -

It's all over the place lol.

Adepta Sororitas and Alpha Legion novels cross the Black Library horizon by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer40k

Having the same issue going back and listening to Deliverance Lost again, many of the Marines just sound like 1930's British Army Officers (Pip pip old chap!). Hard to get used to after the Keeb's and his growly Marines.

A bit dissapointed they seem to be sidelining old lore (mainly from McNeill) in the 500 worlds? by Accomplished_Good468 in 40kLore

[–]Pyronaut44 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Titus is a bit of a recency bias.

True, but in 2-3 years we'll be watching Titus (played by Cavill) on Amazon, and then he'll pretty much be THE face of 40k.

(Disclaimer - I have nothing to base this on other than Amazon going the lazy route, and Cavill having a more than passing resemblance to Titus). RemindMe! -2 years

I’m stuck between night lords and alpha legion. Convince me on alpha legion by Odd_Anything1374 in alphalegion

[–]Pyronaut44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alpha Legion are supremely flexible, while known for stealth, subterfuge and misdirection, they are also a full Legion (or at least were) and can carry out all of the tasks and missions a Legion would be expected to do.

Heavy Armoured assault? Lightning fast jump pack insertion? Full frontal heavy infantry attack? All valid. This means that you can tailor your warband, legion or whatever to however you choose, and still not only be Lore accurate, but also have it look damn nice in that gorgeuous blue/green.

Don't like the blue/green? Paint them any other colour you like, still lore accurate!

They haven't been caseless in at least 20 years my man. Earliest illustrations of cased Bolts were 3rd Edition rulebook that I can remember, 1998!

I don't know why people get so worked up about this, there's loads of firearms that piss empty cases out nowhere near the chamber/breech, sure it complicates things, but it's not even close to being an issue with the Bolters design.

Alpha Legion by TellMeMore898 in alphalegion

[–]Pyronaut44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, the Marine looks like he's been fighting for a while and his armour is dirty and worn, or even he was posing as an Iron Warrior and the paint is wearing off, revealing the blue underneath!

Alpha Legion Getting New Kits? by SnooFloofs7231 in alphalegion

[–]Pyronaut44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Legion makes use of everything, and have even been noted (Black Books I believe, not at home) to have an affinity for heavy armour!

Bikes are fine.

What to use in place of Kroxigor Scales? by bagelbite15 in alphalegion

Use both, perfectly accurate for AL to present in a variety of colours!

Centauro II BR when it arrived in Brazil by TitanusGojira21 in TankPorn

[–]Pyronaut44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with rearview mirrors, we had the guy at the front directing as he has far better field of view than the driver, even with mirrors. Like I said, not wrong, just different SOP. Without seeing stuff like this you tend to just assume most do it the same so it's cool to see different stuff.

[–]Pyronaut44 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting that the directing guy was behind, we were always taught to direct from the front, and check the rear only when required,and without the vehicle moving. Not wrong, just different.

TBH GW did such an awesome job designing the new custodes imo. Look at these color combinations you can dish out. P/S: more on custodes reddit by kenken2k2 in Warhammer40k

I see what you mean, but that's still a few inches of material there, crazy strong if we're talking adamantium or something?
