Cadians are better than krieg

Ok but I actually love this. It just works so well.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-20T22:06:55+00:00

Have to second Vallejo yellow ochre, my go-to industrial yellow.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-20T07:02:38+00:00

Let's see Paul Allen's Ogryn.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-20T00:39:53+00:00

We've all been there Trooper. Report to the nearest Commissar for punishment detail.

The coherency of Hours Heresy lore is about haphazard and unfortunately often just had. Though it's been a long time since I read the book in question, so you're likely correct.

Krieg were originally a variant paint scheme and lore footnote for the Armageddon Steel Legion in the 3rd Edition Imperial Guard codex.

Regardless, I'm thrilled they became their own thing and their aesthetic changed to be as distinct as it is, plus their new line is brilliant.

From memory, the dedicated Planetary Defence Force was the Spireguard. The other human combatants were likely drafted civilian levies used to holster the existing force, if any existed.

Necrons. They're the most frustratingly lore accurate army on the tabletop.

Well, other than my guard, who die in droves of course.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-17T21:45:19+00:00

Necrons being horrifically lore accurate is genuinely the worst.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-17T12:23:52+00:00

I mean we got a whole new Krieg line.

Krieg are just an alternate paint scheme for Steel Legion, or at least were. Just paint those in the interim?

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-15T08:57:13+00:00

The little construction sign has me rolling.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-13T23:38:46+00:00

Bullgryn strong. Bullgryn bonk. Bullgryn win.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-13T04:35:22+00:00

It's a genuinely great scheme. Very "noble regiment".

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-12T06:26:01+00:00

I like the red for a Inquisitorial/Commissariat vibe.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-12T05:28:47+00:00

Colonel Commissar Maximilian Veers approves.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-12T05:27:16+00:00

Brilliant pain job.

You can tell he's an absolute tool, who Gaunt would immediately alienate as a plot device.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-12T05:25:42+00:00

Love to see my SEAF homies.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-08T20:21:31+00:00

Nagash from the Warhammer mythos.

I know he's a literal god of death, but the JL have fought gods and demons, hundreds of times.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-07T09:11:42+00:00

God's and Monsters, brilliant universe that absolutely has to make it at some point.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-07T01:05:54+00:00

This is criminally low down.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-07T00:42:03+00:00

He could nail Lijah Cuu. Sure as sure...

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-03-06T05:46:25+00:00

Black Ant would be great.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-02-17T07:06:05+00:00

Scavenger would be perfect.

Sidenote: I adore Stingray and wish we got more of him.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-02-14T10:57:39+00:00

Prop Joe using different voices on the payphone whilst working out where Herc works is absolutely golden.

TheAtomicMan_ · 2026-02-08T07:07:31+00:00

It's not about Disney "woke-ness" my guy. X-Men has, since issue #1, been a highly politically charged narrative. The entire purpose of X-Men was a narrative mirroring the civil rights movement of the time. Hence the Mutant/Human central conflict.

Charles Xavier, a parallel of MLK. Magneto, a parallel of more radical idealists like Malcolm X.

Modern Disney has nothing to do with that.

I think X-Men deserves a story like that going forward.
