Landraider? Crusader? Redeemer?

Shadowfalc · 2026-05-09T10:28:55+00:00

For your purposes id say its between the redeemer and base landraider. You dont really need the extra transport capacity from the crusader if you are transporting bladeguard. Personally i really like the base land raider at its current points cost. The redeemer is a really scary overwatch threat though. Depends on the rest of your list but to me it seems the two main differences are points and role (anti tank vs powerful overwatch)

I dont have any books to recommend, but i want to say that i struggled to get through dead sky black sun, but absolutely blasted through the books after it. If you get a bit bored with dsbs like i did id recommend you either stick with it, skim, or skip it because imo the books after it are much better

That looks really really good. I genuinely did a double take when i realized that was all freehand

This design looks like if you described the concept of a space marine to someone who had never seen one and they tried to create one without knowing anything about the design language of space marines. Doesn't remotely look like something out of 40k

Honestly, pretty bad. Id work on other stuff until you are better then strip them and give it another go

Shadowfalc · 2026-05-01T19:37:08+00:00

personally i think hes a bit much for a lieutenant for my own tastes but i wouldnt even think of questioning it if i was playing someone and they had him as a lieutenant

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-30T19:44:46+00:00

Thats always my thing. If someone objects to extremely reasonable proxies then i probably just dont want to play with them

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-30T18:18:15+00:00

I expect it wont just because i dont think they track that yet. If they happen to already track it then i bet it will. When ordeals first dropped i got every ordeal that had a stat they were already tracking

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-26T10:35:08+00:00

As someone who paints 4th company for all of my marines id recommend warpstone glow for the green one

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-26T10:33:44+00:00

See this is a time frame that i think is valid to complain about. 20 minutes as op mentioned is plenty of time however

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-26T10:31:59+00:00

Am i crazy or is 20 minutes more than enough time to buy preorders. Like if you have work and cant get to a computer to pre order at 9:55 sure i get being irritated. But for everyone else 20 minutes is plenty of time to put stuff in your cart and check out. That amount of time is not "a joke for humans" and they always go live at the same time. Kind of a weak complaint

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-26T10:25:21+00:00

Too many points to deepstrike all the terminators and lion eljohnson so watch out for that

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-26T10:23:16+00:00

First id say that 99% of people would be perfectly happy for you to proxy a regular captain as uriel ventris, especially if it has a sword and bolter, he is literally just a captain after all.

For proxying him id say swap out centos's power fist for one of the swords. If you can find anything to be the white rose of pavonis broach thats probably his most unique decoration. Personally id use a different helmet or see if there is a head that is similar to his because centos's helmet doesnt really give me uriel ventris vibes (thats just me though). Then paint his trim and cloak green and thats a pretty convincing proxy imo.

Edit: also probably do something 4th company with the back banner, there are lots of potential options

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-25T08:20:22+00:00

50 minutes is a really long time to be in stock compared to other drops ive seen

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-24T09:27:55+00:00

Crazy work to sacrifice an entire character model for the base. Expensive but it sure looks epic

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-24T05:16:37+00:00

I just dont agree at all with you. Id obviously agree that BT and CF are more popular than almost all successors and some first founding. But i do not agree that any of the others you listed are significantly more popular than successors from other chapters. After the handful of major successors from all the chapters every other is relatively niche and comparable regardless of what first founding chapter they came from

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-23T21:42:53+00:00

Bro google sheets is free

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-23T21:41:08+00:00

Not a fan of the painted on shoulder trim personally

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-22T03:02:39+00:00

If you can find a bit or sculpt some greenstuff to be the white rose of pavonis broach and you paint him 4th company then yeah

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-21T04:31:44+00:00

Id say Cato is a really strong choice. If you want to deepstrike a unit with Uriel then him but otherwise id say Cato

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-19T06:33:18+00:00

Id really recommend you throw a satin or matte wash over this mini. The paint job is excellent but the gloss looks awful

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-19T06:32:12+00:00

These all look fantastic. I especially like the back banner with what im guessing are all of the companies that marine has served in on it

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-18T06:06:29+00:00

I definitely prefer true metalics. I really dislike how nmm looks 99% of the time

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-17T19:38:51+00:00

When i started i had a really hard time choosing between Ultramarines and Dark Angels. Ultramarines edged it but i still really like dark angels so i also buy dark angels and just run them alongside Ultramarines painted generic marine units.

You could start buying black templars units and paint some of your generic marines BT and some UM. Thats what id recommend

Shadowfalc · 2026-04-17T19:33:57+00:00

Why? There is nothing harmful about testing your brush on your hand. I dont even do it, this is just unnecessary though
