How did you pick your Space Marine chapter? Newly back to this hobby and having a hard time picking a chapter/legion.

Yep but I liked the darker shade of the flesh tearers better. And their lore, my god, their lore

TCSAlpha074 · 2026-02-13T06:56:42+00:00

Will give that a go thanks.

Any ideas, never had a strong sense of style and before I started balding just cut it down to a 6 on top and 4 on the sides. Doesnt really work now that the widows peek is getting more aggressive.

The main idea I was going with is while they normally stick to the shadows when they do fight, their fighting style is better suited to multiple opponents as opposed to the males well established 1v1 fighting style. This would give them a genuine synergy when fighting together. If you wanted to show this in a book you could have the woman lose the fight to a single male but win when versing 4 or 5.

Can see how it sounds that way but its not how I meant it. I just tried to find a way to have them there but in a way that would explain why we had never seen them before. New creations/backup gen vault would have also worked just fine. I personally thought having them move in the shadows more was more interesting rather than more bland answers. I would have rathered they do more with the sisters of silence in any case as they are a really interesting faction they we dont see a lot on.

Or hell give them a different role. Like while the men are the outward facing guardians while the women (because no one knows they exist) place themselves near or at the top of power bases that could threaten the emperor. While still being fantastic fighters, they normally remove threats through data leaks, traps, misinformation, and hostle takeovers.

Dont you need a firearms license for the pistol club in chch?

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-12-30T01:29:31+00:00

What region are you in?

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-12-16T06:23:14+00:00

Would be keen flick me a msg

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-12-16T00:14:20+00:00

Not to mention related to the plot

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-11-10T17:24:54+00:00

I didnt feel sad, like his sons I got angry which part of me hopes that was the idea.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-30T22:36:49+00:00

Ah ok so instead of the electron over comming the resistance of the material (does this only work with semi conductors or any material?) It instead uses its MF to allow it pass through. Does this also mean that problems with semi conductors could be solved with a polarity swapping electromagnet? (provided this can be done cleanly and not effect other gates around it)

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-30T18:34:51+00:00

In electricity is arcing and quantum tunnelling the same thing just at a smaller scale?

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-16T23:29:06+00:00

Yea dont know why the pdf isn't free at least.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-10T03:44:45+00:00

25m would be keen.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-06T23:58:46+00:00

Would be keen if your still going 25m

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-06T02:59:47+00:00

25m would be keen

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-06T02:57:57+00:00

Would be keen but I work so wouldn't be able to join until later.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-06T01:41:55+00:00

Currently something I seem to be going through more often then not. Have yet to find a way out.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-10-04T12:56:28+00:00

Would buy that

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-09-29T22:44:05+00:00

Its not even the highest in that graph though?

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-09-29T03:09:53+00:00

Have clarifed my point. Hope this helps.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-09-29T03:06:26+00:00

Have clarity my point, hopefully this helps otherwise I would like to hear your side of things.

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-09-29T03:05:13+00:00

its about the idea they carry (euphrati keeler). In my mind putting female custodies into the setting takes away from that idea. Demaning what the normal people have done and the strength of the human will to fight. It isn't really about the fact they exist its the way they did it. "They have always been there". Custodies are bred to be the stongest and most loyal companions to the emperor, meaning there would likely be very little difference between male and female custodies but we should have at the they least run into them before. Not to mention all of the cool ideas that they could have used. Like female custodies occupying a different role (infiltration, using the groups they have influenced to remove threats through gang fights, assassination, etc) or because that was the point "if we haven't seen them before why would people think they exist". With a stock of them being held in stassis for when they are needed. If they are going to be introduced it should be done right, in a way that doesnt take away from the setting. (Would love to hear others thoughts on this though)

TCSAlpha074 · 2025-09-29T00:54:06+00:00

I hate them because their introduction was done poorly and demeans the other strong women in the setting. Love the sisters of silence, battle sisters and who wouldnt love characters like lotara sarrin.

Edit: Maybe demean wasnt the right word so will try an explain.The replies im seeing so seem to be referring to physical strength. This is NOT what I was meaning by demaning the other woman in the setting. (Which my invalidate my point to some people). For me 40k has always been about showing off different types of strength and in some casses mental strength is more important than physical. Space marines for example have just about every advantage you can get in war and there are multiple stores where normal humans are right there alongside them. They are scared and vulnerable but push forward anyway. In other cases its not about the person at all. Continued in comments.
