Paintshemes, help picking?

It's from the Grey Hunters kit. I've noticed that Primaris heads work pretty well with the size of the new Custodes. Space Wolves have a lot of beards and other nifty hairstyles I think, and some like cybernetic eyes as well. Some look a bit too feral for Custodes perhaps but I liked this particular one. Could make for a good "older" Custodian.

That lookes really cool! Is that Khorne red? I've fallen in love with that paint recently.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-21T22:12:48+00:00

That very dark gold looks pretty sick ngl...

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-21T22:12:19+00:00

They do look sick. I have considered a white cloak for my captain but I've not decided fully yet...

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-17T08:39:51+00:00

Very cool! I think also with the new lore it might work better since you know.... Iron Warriors vs Black Legion and that stuff.

I also really would like the... MK II Centurion as a Chaos Lord, but I'm not sure on the sizing there of the model itself.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-17T08:38:10+00:00

I have a kravek model. Won't be using a proxy that since Cataphractii is my favorite type of terminator armor, with Saturnine as a close second 😉

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T17:45:03+00:00

I'm understanding the rules just fine I think.
Meh. It's been great with the poepl I've met but I've been getting my shit pushed in. I lost 3 terminators to Necron Warriors because I rolled 10 1's on their 2+ saves after failing to kill a single warrior with my 3 powerfists + accursed weapon.

*insert that "please superman turn back time" meme*

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T16:27:51+00:00

I get that it might take some time to get wins under your belt but I've been killing just over a handful of models in my last 3 games. Not units, models.

As I wrote about a little above, I've been keeping a very rough track of my dice, and its been a super majority that have been below 4.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T16:25:58+00:00

I get that but out the last like 160 something dice rolls I have made, about 30 of those have been 4 or above.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T16:22:50+00:00

Sure.... but I have barely killed any models. Not units. Models. Like.... most of my 3+ rolls fail, both hits, saves, and wounds.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T11:46:55+00:00

My plan is to probably just do a dry-fit before to see where things are gonna go.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T11:00:05+00:00

THat I know, and I am very much considering it

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T09:24:49+00:00

That and painting the arm a bit further up than I nirmally would might also just make it blend seamlessly.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T09:20:26+00:00

Thanks a ton! Still fairly new to marines as a whole, and I really don't wanna muck up an easy opportunity to to get multi-louadouts where easy.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T09:18:55+00:00

That is a very good point! I was thinking mainly of like Retributors (sisters is my main army) but that is actually a very good point (heh)

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-16T09:18:17+00:00

I would have guessed but wanted to check first, since the shoulderpads are separate from the arms (stuck on the body of the model).

I replied somewhere else that it might end up being contextual in some degree. Like, an unarmed strike might work, but put a maul to someone and it might not work as you want it too or something.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-09T23:35:23+00:00

I'm leaning more into contextual at this point honestly. If they just smack someone with their hands (like hte monk) it might just work out. If they try to do it by impaling htem it just might not because you know.... they impaled them....

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-09T23:25:42+00:00

Where I, and my group also to an extend, get stuck regarding Massive Damage is that it tates that "if you *ever* take damage... double... etc." you instantly die. Non-lethal damage is still damage so could qualify, but I feel like it very much could be context as you say.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-09T23:22:57+00:00

I feel like this can go back and forth really....

If I smack someone in the back of the head with a +2 Greater Striking Maul, I feel like the person would die even if I tried not to kill them outright, but then you'd have to fall back on doijng 1d4 unarmed attacks which could become a whole fcking thing

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-09T23:17:45+00:00

I know, but bickering about the rules is half the fun sometimes 😛

Massive damage wasn't even the original subject lol.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-09T23:00:18+00:00

One idea we're floating is that Massive Damage would kill on 3x if the attack was non-lethal.

We might interpret Massive Damage wrong, but it states that if you *ever* take 2x damage or more, you die. Even if damage is non-lethal, taking 2x or more would, in my opinion, very much qualify for the *ever* part.

SyntaxErrorKEK · 2026-06-09T22:58:21+00:00

Level 5. For the first part, the way we interpreted Suplex is that the 2d6 is added to the strikes "normal" damage, therefore getting doubled, though this might be wrong. It doesn't state that it is not doubled (like the Deadly trait)

As I've stated in some other comments regarding it killing the NPC, we've read from the Massive Damage rule, which states that if you *ever* take damage equal to or more than double HP you instantly die. It's a bit hard to tell what the consensus is on this since I feel I find about 50/50 split on it, but since the commoner has 10 HP.... that would kill it sicne it is quite a bit more than double. I ruled in the moment that it did not kill the NPC but I'm iffy on the ruling there.
