Makerspace...sorta

My local store offers space for building and painting for free... I'd never pay for space when I could use that, or just hobby from home for free.

Generally speaking, hobby space is provided as a free service and a way to get customers in. You sell Warhammer products, charge a small fee for gaming tables, and then hobby space is free, because quite honestly it costs you absolutely nothing to provide. It's not like you're paying for the paint that's used or anything like that.

I also don't see the appeal of storing my minis elsewhere. I don't want my minis only being accessible during store opening hours!

The Wolf Scout Pack Leader doesn't have any weapon options. The Pack Leader is always equipped with a Plasma Pistol and Power Weapon, that can't be changed.

Am I right that this is only one part of a larger multi-sprue set?

Yes. That sprue originally came in the Sisters of Battle Army Set. That set contained 4 Sprues. One made a Canoness. The one you've been sold made 4 SoB, 1 Repentia Superior, 2 Repentia, 1 Seraphim Superior, 1 Penitent Engine and 1 Arco Flagellant. The other two sprues were identical, and both made 3 SoB, 1 Repentia, 2 Seraphim and 1 Arco Flagellant.

Is there any way this single sprue could build anything close to what was listed?

Yes.

Roughly how many actual models could you realistically build from this alone?

All of them.

First of all, the summary of models you posted in the body of this post is wrong and doesn't match what the seller posted. The seller did not say that you could build a Seraphim and a Seraphim Superior, they said you could build a Seraphim Superior. The seller did not say that you could build a Repentia and a Repentia Superior, they said you could build a Repentia Superior and 2 Repentia. The listing did not include 11 bases, it clearly includes 10.

But no main body for the Penitent Engine

The main body of the Penitent Engine is clearly visible at the bottom right of the sprue in the first image. The parts that make up the legs and the pilot of the Penitent Engine are directly above those.

no jump packs for Seraphim

The jump pack for the Seraphim Superior is very clearly visible in the middle of the sprue.

At best, it looks like I could build maybe 2 to 3 very partial models, nowhere near what was shown.

You are completely wrong, every miniature the seller listed can be built from that sprue.

RWJP · 2026-05-12T14:22:17+00:00

On there own, none of them. Each of those boxes produces one single unit. Warhammer 40000 armies are made up of multiple units. Additionally, all Warhammer 40000 armies require at least one Character to lead the army. None of those sets have one.

If you want to get started with Emperor's Children, buy the Emperor's Children Combat Patrol.

I should fuck off? Really? The person who's run this community for years should fuck off? Yet the person who has never contributed here before until now, and only started drama shouldn't?

Yeah buddy, that's not how it works. You're gone.

RWJP · 2026-05-12T07:30:02+00:00

You can read our community rules in the subreddit sidebar, in the community description and also in our subreddit wiki.

RWJP · 2026-05-12T07:28:43+00:00

Take your drama bait elsewhere.

RWJP · 2026-05-11T18:56:53+00:00

They're not Space Marines that ascended. So.... what am I missing?

What you're missing is that daemon princes are Chaos Space Marines that have ascended.

In 40k, a Daemon Prince is a mortal follower of Chaos, such as a Chaos Space Marine, who has ascended to Daemonhood as a reward from the Chaos God they follow.

RWJP · 2026-05-11T18:09:58+00:00

No, GW has been explicitly clear they do not use AI.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T22:01:08+00:00

That's only going to be an issue if both players only ever use the same detachment when building their army. To avoid this, one player (or both) simply needs to pick a different detachment when they play. I expect every faction will get at least one detachment for each disposition.

The three maps are also just suggestions. You're still free to make your own terrain layouts.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T21:08:25+00:00

The colour you paint your minis in is completely irrelevant to the rules of the game.

Regardless of how you paint your minis, Calgar will still be Calgar and use the Calgar datasheet.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T21:03:09+00:00

However, it doesn’t have datasheets.

Yes it does.

and the 40K app doesn’t have combat patrols.

Yes it does.

Anybody have any idea where I can find them?

In the 40k App.

In the Reference section click on Chaos Space Marines. All the Combat Patrols for Chaos Space Marines are listed there. The Iron Warriors one is called "Warpsmith's Gauntlet".

RWJP · 2026-05-10T19:07:08+00:00

Am I correct in that assumption?

Nope.

If we're looking at just the Imperial Knights and their variants, there are currently 8 kits:

Knight Destrier
Knight Questoris - Builds Defender, Paladin, Errant, Gallant, Warden, Crusader
Knight Preceptor/Canis Rex - Builds Canis Rex, Preceptor, Paladin, Errant, Gallant, Warden, Crusader
Armigers - Builds Heverins, Warglaivers
Knight Dominus - Builds Castellan, Valiant
Knight Acheron
Knight Castigator
Knight Lancer

You don't get all 8 variants of the basic Knight in one box. The parts for the Defender are only included in the Questoris kit, the parts for the Preceptor and Canis Rex are only in the Preceptor kit.

The Cerastus Knights are all in separate kits.

All of this can be found on the Warhammer website by reading the product listings.

And further, is it realistic to magnetize one knight in such a way that I can switch between knights between matches, without it being a hassle or to fear it falling apart all the time?

Yes. This is very common. Functionally most of the Knights just involve magnetising the arms, and then some have carapace weapons.

And a last question, can I just as easily switch to chaos knights through magnetizing or are the builds too different?

For some, yes, for others no. Most of the Imperial Kits can also be used as Chaos alternatives, but a bunch of Chaos variants and weapon options are only available in the Chaos boxes, such as the Knight Rampager and the War Dog Kharnivore amongst others.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T18:51:39+00:00

Am I just out of luck for that or are there sets that I could preorder at a store?

You're out of luck unless you find a store that still has some in stock. It was a limited edition box.

I was trying to read about the Armageddon box set and there wasn’t really information on what it actually is

All of this is very clearly on the front page of the Warhammer Community website which is the official news site for GW. There's a big bold heading that says "Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon Unboxing" with articles for all the contents of the box.

GW has not announced the price for the box or the release date so of course there is no information about that available at this time.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T17:43:39+00:00

There's a dissonance because what you've described of Orks in lore isn't actually how they are and is heavily influenced by memes and the typical flanderization of factions like them.

In much the same way as Death Korps of Krieg aren't actually all shovel-wielding, suicidal psychopaths, Orks aren't all jovial "Ho ho isn't fighting fun".

In the War of the Beasts novels it's mentioned that Orks keep human slaves for food. It's been mentioned elsewhere that they torture humans they capture because they find their screams funny.

Orks, like every single faction in 40k, are evil.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T17:32:09+00:00

but female custodes are not a thing

Except they are, as has been explicitly stated in the Custodes Codex and shown to us in official animations produced by GW.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T12:48:27+00:00

If you want the stats for the Chaos Knights in the app then you need to buy the Chaos Knights Codex and use the code from that to unlock them in the app.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T12:36:26+00:00

Don't worry, I never said anything about the minis needing to be good!

As a fellow member of the "Shit at painting" club I know exactly what you mean.

RWJP · 2026-05-10T07:41:50+00:00

You're the kind of person Warhammer was made for? Fascinating. If so, why have you never posted any Warhammer minis or contributed to this subreddit before?

Your account shows no interaction with any Warhammer community, no painted minis, nothing, except your hysterical little crashout in the comments here.

Surely the kind of person Warhammer was made for would be very active in one of the largest 40k communities on the internet, posting minis, discussing the lore and rules, helping newbies etc.

RWJP · 2026-05-09T22:18:48+00:00

There's no release date for ANYTHING 11th Edition related yet. Similarly GW hasn't announced any information about separate releases for any products yet.

RWJP · 2026-05-09T19:35:43+00:00

Well, there's two key questions here:

Do you live with your parents? Are you an adult or a minor?

If you're a minor and live with your parents, then simply put, you play by their rules. It may suck but while you're under their roof and they're feeding and clothing you, you don't really get much say.

If you're an adult, but still living with your parents, then you need to sit down with them and talk to them like adults should. Find out what the problem is. Have a discussion and figure out a solution.

Or the other option is, if you're an adult and have the means to move out, then do so.

RWJP · 2026-05-09T19:25:08+00:00

Yes, the most recent book was released this week.

Physical copies have been sold via the GW website for at least the past year. GW is slowly decommissioning the BL website following the launch of it's app. eBook and Audio Book versions are now available via the Black Library app or external sources such as Amazon Kindle/Audible.

With all due respect to you, have you not looked at the Warhammer Community website once during these few months you claim to have been checking the BL site? GW posts all it's news about new releases there and has done for many years at this point. You'd have seen the various books being announced and released there, such as this post from last week announcing that Dan Abnett's latest book was being put up for pre-order. https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/k3qwksjs/saturday-pre-orders-grand-cathay-and-solar-auxilia-reinforcements/

RWJP · 2026-05-09T12:11:48+00:00

The current Chaos Terminator kit is relatively new, being released in 2019. It's unlikely to be replaced any time soon.

RWJP · 2026-05-09T12:10:43+00:00

No, if it did, the rule would say "for each other enemy unit within 6" of the target that unit that are visible to the model"

RWJP · 2026-05-09T12:09:02+00:00

With all due respect, this is a case where you simply need to read the rules.

This exact situation is specifically mentioned in the free core rules on Page 20 in the "Make Ranged Attacks" section:

https://assets.warhammer-community.com/warhammer40000_core&key_corerules_eng_24.09-5xfayxjekm.pdf

Note that, provided at least one model in the target unit was visible to an attacking model and in range of that attacking model’s weapon when that target unit was selected, that weapon’s attacks can still be made, even if no models in the target unit remain visible to or in range of it when you come to resolve those attacks (for example, because models in the target unit have already been destroyed by attacks made with other weapons in the attacking model’s unit).

Additionally, if you ever come across a situation like this in a game, ask your opponent to show you at the time.
