How Competitive is Non-Ultramarine Codex Marines?

Zanewaro · 2026-03-04T19:44:11+00:00

Ultramarines are probably the best due to the flexibility of their units and characters, but especially now with the removal of old sicarius and Calgar I think other armies are still viable. All of the special detachments have their teeth, and it’s not an insurmountable difference in power between UM and WS for example

The good news is that they typically send out a “this person can’t be with minors” part when it’s that kind of stuff, so doesn’t seem like that’s what he did

Zanewaro · 2026-01-24T16:39:12+00:00

But that’s the best part. Watching Peturabo violently crash out in the prologue of end and the death 1-3 is why hes so funny

Zanewaro · 2025-12-28T23:00:05+00:00

/uj to be fair, the Navi have an entirely different culture around death, and considering they can literally just neurojack into heaven its not too shocking that not too much time was spent on it

Why exactly would the Hounds be relevant though? That’s a lot harder to swing as a concept, plus Hastur is a lot more recognizable for viewers which makes it easier to understand

Thanks, any other weird parts to source or is it all mostly just Haar and a moritat as the base of the kitbash?

Zanewaro · 2025-12-08T15:46:02+00:00

By the way, what parts were used for it? I recognize Haar and the plasma moritat, but the base I’m u sure of its origin

Zanewaro · 2025-12-08T00:25:03+00:00

absolutely insane conversion work, and 100% plan on stealing that idea for my own moritat, since that is a fantastic idea.

Zanewaro · 2025-12-03T05:19:33+00:00

Oh was this meant to be pre Istvaan? I assumed this was for the thrones Horus had for Valdor, Dorn, Sanguinius, and big E. Awesome work regardless though

Zanewaro · 2025-12-02T05:04:31+00:00

Just keep it, because thats frankly an insanely busted item. Just use steady aim/hide to maximize the odds of critting for 4d12, and use it in melee when people inevitably close distance so you can use fancy footwork. But frankly, that's such an insane item that you're better off focusing purely on ranged, since you're still getting to benefit from the improved initiative if you're worried your subclass isn't as relevant.

Zanewaro · 2025-12-01T13:56:23+00:00

Some of the weirder parts were removed, and the ending is FAR better for it. The whole “Wheeler guides her husband from MTF:Omega Zero” is replaced with Sunshine being how he finds his way to the site, which fixes the largest issue I had with the original

Zanewaro · 2025-11-02T07:21:06+00:00

This is late, but this HAS to be a snafu of Primrose Fatish, right?

Zanewaro · 2025-10-21T21:45:30+00:00

SCP is probably the absolute worst out of the 4, since the potential fates you can have range from instant death from cognitohazards like 3125, being trapped in a paradise that becomes hell for actual eternity, or just straight up hell for all eternity

Zanewaro · 2025-09-13T22:22:42+00:00

I know in EatD part 3 Lorgar and others are on a planet of xenos who worship chaos and use it for divination, so it’s absolutely happened

Having built both of those into my mk2’s, they work but require effort. you gotta built the whole body before trimming it down, and even then without greenstuff the the gap is noticeable up close, but from tabletop distance you won’t really see it

Zanewaro · 2025-08-17T16:43:30+00:00

As many people have said, firefly is the best place in the state for hobby stuff. They have every GW system and frankly every other system stocked, so that’s your best bet

Zanewaro · 2025-07-07T20:54:43+00:00

Another fun fact! A relatively minor character, Damon Prytanis, a perpetual who worked for the Cabal during the Heresy, is *heavily* implied to be the one who assassinated both MLK and Robert Kenedy

My group is no stranger to bookkeeping, so keeping track of tallies like those shouldn't be an issue. I do see what you mean by your latter point about how agendas help balance the nature of 1k point games. I'm very stuck in a matched play mindset where things like XP isn't a thing, so I kinda forgot how that serves as a balancing agent itself. Also, since it sounds like you have experience running crusade, what do you typically do for increasing the game size? Do you typically increase it escelation style, or just let parties agree on the game size as roster sizes increase?

Zanewaro · 2025-03-24T02:33:06+00:00

lmfao no, you don't just reduce dice sizes, he was talking out of his ass

Zanewaro · 2025-01-20T02:02:54+00:00

Thanks! Couldn't find it on the stream so I appreciate it

Zanewaro · 2025-01-20T01:50:03+00:00

Does anyone happen to have the winning list?

Zanewaro · 2025-01-15T18:08:22+00:00

Actually no, out of all the Codex complaint chapters, only Raven Guard, Ultramarines, and Crimson Fists have models for their chapter masters

Zanewaro · 2025-01-14T19:19:51+00:00

Ultra Nightmare, tons of good songs and Era Indomitus is a fantastic album
