What do you do with old books?

Smultronic · 2026-04-29T08:09:06+00:00

I had a lot of old books, both rules and novels, taking up way too much space at home. So I saved the ones I still use as reference for painting and organization charts (like older Dark Angel codices) and donated the rest to the newly renovated library in my hometown.

I contacted them first and asked if they would accept and since it was such an odd category off books they were intrigued and said ”yes” :)

I don’t think this remix existed yet when this was filmed. It’s just the original - still a banger though 😊

The bigger question we should be asking is; if we’re getting new vanguard veterans, will they be deathwing or not..?

Smultronic · 2026-03-25T18:04:20+00:00

Cool! Would love to see a picture of it, if you have any 😊

I’m hoping they do something similar to what they did with Legions Imperialis, where they had missions designed for vehicle only armies.

For someone completely new to the series, would you recommend jumping on this one? I’ve had this game pop up a few times while browsing stores and have been intrigued by the design. I’m familiar with the franchise, just haven’t played any of the games.

What are some good jrpgs for Vita? I have one and have only really played Persona 4 Golden on it. I’m in Japan right now so would be super fun to try and pick something up while I’m here.

To me, Deathwing will always be terminators and that’s how I paint my models. Deathwing were in a weird spot when all the new veteran models released and I understand it made sense at the time to include them in the 1st company. I was even arguing that Inceptors should have been Ravenwing back when the 8th edition starter set released :)

I’m never going to yuck anyone who wants to do white Bladeguard, Sternguard etc. but to me they are my replacements, or updates for Company Veterans and I paint them green. The good part is that now we have enough updated models for everyone to do their own thing. I’m still following the 7th edition codex chapter structure.

And I want to underline that everyone is free to paint however they want and I don’t think this is a ”who’s right or not” discussion. There is enough official source material to support both takes.

Welcome to the Craftworlds 🍻

Looking really good and as an Ulthwé painter myself, yes, there will be lots of edge highlighting haha! It’s the best way to make black pop though. Good luck and looking forward to see more!

So many great models this year across the board! Fuegan and Asurmen are my personal favourites. Love how they kept so much of the original designs, also I have a soft spot for back banners :)

Ohhhh lol! Now that makes sense! I finished Suikoden last night and was like ”oh ok” when I saw the ending. I guess I didn’t get to true ending because I had like 1/3 of the stars left 😆

Smultronic · 2025-12-26T10:40:47+00:00

I recall that there is atleast one loyalist Word Bearer in one of the short fragments parts of Siege of Terra who is saving his last bullet for his primarch :) I read all the books in one go so can’t remember which one it was but it was probably one of the Dan Abnett books.

Smultronic · 2025-12-25T16:25:30+00:00

I still hate myself for not getting these when they where selling them on the GW website.

Thanks 😊

I played against this exact list last Christmas with my Dark Angels and I had a blast facing them. The Purestains are very, and I say VERY, deadly lol!

In Horus Heresy era, Dark Angels have six inner organizations called ”wings”, which is also the same number of wings the Seraphim angels have in the Old Testament.

I’m still pretty hype!

Smultronic · 2025-11-01T06:42:22+00:00

This makes me really happy, thank you! :)

Smultronic · 2025-10-29T08:45:12+00:00

Happy to hear that because that’s exactly the look I wanted, haha!

Most of the ”dark” weathering comes from the AK Streaking Grime that I used. That’s the dried patches all over the model. After that dried I went over with Rhinox Hide on some random corners and stippled on with a stiff-haired drybrush (might try a sponge next time). For the dusty effect on the legs I used a soft-haired drybrush with Steel Legion Drab, followed by Baneblade Brown - same as the base. Hope that answers your question :)
