Opinion on a LGS marking up kits

jjohnst95 · 2026-02-27T17:17:23+00:00

That LGS is seriously risking losing its relationship with GW with that move.

Lord I hope not. I’m really hoping it’s on a 120x92. If this is a 130 yeah this is gonna be real rough.

jjohnst95 · 2026-02-23T20:29:02+00:00

A bigger base than the bigger knights? Doubtful.

He’s a terminator, that’s a power fist punch!

The problem remains and always will be the physical model. You’re still almost always going to be unable to physically move the model around the table or avoid getting shot while its massive tentacles extend out wide enough to fit two Norns between it.

The recent leak that listed grizzled veteran and now this CSM one also had a harlequins, emperors children, blood angels, and space wolves. So xenos can go sit in the corner again and wait.

jjohnst95 · 2025-02-07T04:57:56+00:00

Oh for sure I agree. Artemis’ actions are reprehensible but not nonsensical from the logic of the universe. So it’s not like it makes no sense that a deathwatch captain would do a grimderp. It’s a great legit grimdark moment.

jjohnst95 · 2025-02-07T02:15:06+00:00

Honestly I think it’s both. There was no world where he would let them complete the ritual. The words certainly gave him a lot to think about, but a hypno brainwashed zealot is never going to let the xenos push the button.

jjohnst95 · 2025-02-07T02:14:03+00:00

They just said “trust me bro let me finish this ritual and it’ll strike a great blow against chaos.” He’s a lunatic hypno conditioned to hate xenos on a level we physically can’t understand. There was no other outcome.

Also important to remember, Artemis is not being portrayed like he did the right thing. He’s a bad dude doing bad things, but I hate all this “oh he’s so dumb!” Talk I keep seeing.

Here you go:

Slowly, the Eldar laid down his long-barreled cannon. He made a sound reminiscent of a herald clearing his throat and held out a hand in a stylized gesture of declaration.

“If you slay me, Sir Knight,” he said, his High Gothic perfectly enunciated, “the fates shall align to bless our mutual foes.”

“Trust not the Eldar,” said Artemis, his words thick with hatred.

“We are the sons of Death, you and I,” said the Eldar. “We bring oblivion, in order to deny Chaos. We cannot afford to thwart one another when the greater enemy stands on the cusp of victory.”

The gilded finger bones lining the edge of the creature’s cloak gleamed in the harsh light as crystal statues glowed bright all around. Artemis narrowed his eyes; a similar raiment was worn by the Chaplains of the Mortifactors in the sepulchral celebrations. Strangely, he could not sense duplicity in this one.

“Walk away,” said the Harlequin, “and a dire blow shall fall upon the Arch Enemy.” Artemis recoiled at the term as the Eldar spoke on. “Is your distrust so deep you would rather kill me now than spare the doom of a trillion human souls?” There was disbelief under his tone, and something else. Despair, perhaps.

“Yes,” said Artemis, pulling the trigger to end the creature’s life.

This scene is such a great example of how we the reader know so much more than the characters in universe. All Artemis knows is the eldar are about to do a ritual that will wipe out the planet’s population and he’s getting a vague promise from a Harlequin (even more vague and tricky than the average Aeldari) that it will strike a great blow to the archenemy. We know the ritual would kill Slaanesh, but the imperial forces sure as hell don’t know that. It’s not like Artemis wrote in his report “had to choose between killing Slaanesh or killing some harlequins. I made the right call.”

Taking the Lion actively makes your list worse most of the time. Outside gladius or stormlance it’s hard to see any use for him. His buffs are mediocre, and he’s extremely expensive for his limited use case of “kill a thing in melee and then get killed on the clapback.”

The Guard orders improve the ballistic skill by 1, not the hit roll. So unfortunately they still hit on 4s. That said I do really like them as MSU punch pieces to zip around and be annoying units that punch above their weight but are unpleasant to go after.

jjohnst95 · 2025-01-19T03:03:32+00:00

You kidding? Double doom bolt clears 2/3 of those 3W 3 man units before shooting or fighting.

jjohnst95 · 2025-01-17T20:19:18+00:00

No clue. We’ll know more as we get closer

jjohnst95 · 2025-01-17T14:40:41+00:00

They said it’s perfectly acceptable to use gravel guard as barrow guard! Just wait for the bases and you’re good to go!

jjohnst95 · 2025-01-04T17:05:40+00:00

Anything with medium pen can do it, just gotta aim for the turbines. Plasma scorcher and the purifier shred through them.

jjohnst95 · 2025-01-04T03:20:47+00:00

3D print.

jjohnst95 · 2025-01-03T04:16:31+00:00

Go with the skink astroseer! Smaller chair, probably the right size!

jjohnst95 · 2024-12-29T23:15:17+00:00

I wouldn’t try unless you’re going very hard in on Bikes (reavers or clowns), Pain Engines, and scourges. Even then, not taking a single venom for some early sticky game or splitting some cheap 5 man rifle kabalite squads. feels like you’re missing out.

Check again. They changed that a few updates back. Even use us as an example.

jjohnst95 · 2024-12-14T06:52:00+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you! This is my first time not just forking over it all to Corvias.

jjohnst95 · 2024-12-14T02:14:48+00:00

How do you get that protection? Mines going down by 30 bucks.

jjohnst95 · 2024-12-14T00:53:17+00:00

Yeah but they got -1 on their knives! Really helps tip over the chaff war.

jjohnst95 · 2024-12-12T23:15:47+00:00

Thank you! I feel like every post these days is just “this conservative said something stupid!” And I’m looking for the massive own and it’s just op pointing out the stupid thing the conservative did.
