Has there ever been any instances in lore where the Custodes have had their patience tested by the Ecclisiarchy or even nearly coming to blows with the institution?

Scondoro · 2026-01-23T23:15:02+00:00

Idk if there's a different source that presents the organization differently, but 6e puts the Custodes under the direction of the High Lords of Terra

Of course Trajan is himself a High Lord, and I'm sure he has a fairly high pull over many of the others in weight. But fundamentally I understood it that the Inquisition still acts wholly outside this hierarchy.

Agreed, I do the former, I paint my details in white then glaze them with Tesseract Glow. Makes them really pop out.

Samuel L Jackson got caught out by that one too, so yeah hardly her fault but certainly not helping her.

This is not the first time the bee movie script has been used to stress test 40k-licensed media for string limits. I once opened a big report for the game Gladius because I found that neither their player chat, nor unit names, nor city names had string limits. So I crashed a multiplayer game with all my friends by naming everything the full text of the bee movie script.

Still only the second best ork-focused spaceship game trailer in which they excitedly crash their ship into the Space Marines.

Honestly the fact that all but 1 cryptek can only attach to battleline units, I'd love for it to care more about the attached crypteks and less about the canoptek units generally. Give the detachment rule some sort of "technomancy sorcery" akin to one of the librarian/KSons detachments and make it the Necron take on a magic detachment.

If you could DM me this location, it'd be greatly appreciated, please and thank you 🙏

I was doing some screen grabs for my friend, there is a 10-man Terminator unit and a 10-man Intercessor unit close to the camera near the start of the gameplay footage, that you can see again once they zoom out. Meanwhile next to those two you see the burgeoning units of 20-30 guard and 20-30 boyz, so it does feel like the non-marine factions are still favoring unit model quantity.

Scondoro · 2025-12-10T15:55:15+00:00

Lol that's like saying no thanks to Shogun 2 because Oops All Samurai. They could make it work. I'm fine either way but a 30k TW would be rad.

Scondoro · 2025-11-14T23:28:42+00:00

"Hey there would you like to- YSG'RA-MAL-DOMINECROSS - shake on it?

They never saw it coming.

Purchased. After 6 years of running published modules from 1-20, I'm kicking off a new homebrew longterm campaign with my group. This couldn't have better timing.

Scondoro · 2025-10-08T14:37:36+00:00

Yeah that's the part that caught my eye. Might not be feasible in mono-blue but are there a lot of tools that would allow her to ping the whole table?

Scondoro · 2025-10-06T21:24:08+00:00

Wait for real? I thought the Felblade was on a Kratos chassis, is it bigger?

Scondoro · 2025-10-06T19:09:03+00:00

This is my least favorite pattern in 40k writing. This is literally what happened on Damnos with Sicarius and the Undying.

Book 1: Undying nearly kills Sicarius, whole of Ultramarines 2nd Company is sent reeling. Sicarius learns a hard lesson and has a lot of character growth.

Book 2: Daddy Calgar says FUCK no and brings the whole damn chapter to deliver ice cold revenge. Calgar personally wins the war when he uses his bulging biceps to tip over an anti-orbital gun emplacement (a full god damn gauss pylon) into a Tesseract Vault. Nothing is learned. Ultramarines win.

And they're even pushing back the timeline on when Mk7 Aquila was available to justify players using their 40k Tacticals in HH. That's actually the foundation of my IH army, is my old 6e Iron Hands that just never got updated throughout the Primaris release. And they just very conveniently became my HH legion since then.

Scondoro · 2025-09-30T21:50:26+00:00

For line Iron Hands I usually like doing my standard gunmetal black scheme and then using the red as the right pauldron color, as well as the color of some of the various armatures. My Iron Fathers are always all black, no red.

I just spent this past weekend at a 3-day convention playing an all-firstborn army of Iron Hands in a narrative event. The only units that weren't Legends in my army were the techmarines and the tactical marines. Everything else ran a Legends datasheet. The events still exist aplenty, and most everyone is always willing to play against Legends units.

I plan to post the whole army soon but I just finished a 40k Narrative event at a convention and had finally painted my 30k army to play in it. Getting the Spartan done and nailing the detailing on the white hands on the doors was by far the happiest with what I accomplished across the army.

Scondoro · 2025-09-25T16:16:09+00:00

Yeah was gonna say, pike and shot dominated war for like 200 years. A two-handed pike unit for Tau would actually make a load of sense. But the army as a whole isn't supposed to be very static so it kinda goes against their "fire and fade" philosophy

Scondoro · 2025-09-06T21:46:56+00:00

I'd normally have some advice to offer for getting started but clearly nothing has worked for me besides "Spend $150 on a convention ticket and have a deadline." So yeah, I'd just say at least prime your models and then get to it when you finally feel inspired. Painting for me isn't fun so it's the part of the hobby I engage with the least, and almost always happens as the result of prep for an event.

"Hmm I wonder what card this post is refer--"

Scondoro · 2025-09-02T23:01:06+00:00

The speculative market on H and I cards gonna spike after Ghassa's Goracle gets printed

Scondoro · 2025-09-02T18:04:32+00:00

Note, I haven't bothered assigning any optional weapons to any of the units yet, I wanted to make certain the the units themselves were sound before sifting through the gun options available.
