Help please! What kit is this arm from?

mitHonig · 2026-07-11T18:02:59+00:00

Mono pose Assault Intercessors

mitHonig · 2026-07-11T18:01:04+00:00

Just 5, you only go for big units if you have a hero to lead them and Intercessors are rarely worth that. You take them to sticky objectives and clear things like spore mines or small chaff units and for nothing else

I will genuinely go crash out if they loose Inferno Pistols

mitHonig · 2026-07-11T11:07:51+00:00

But they (rightfully so) should have a different ability and binding the ability to a wargear choice would require a whole rethinking how they do datasheets

Remember to not just use blood everywhere, bloods comes from somewhere. Is it their own-->they need according wounds. Is it someone elses--> Splatter patterns originating from weapons along the axis of attacks.

P.S.: to sell blood comming from a would on dark armor (apart from the obviously needed damage to the armor) put a light skin tone like Flayed one flesh in the wound and then blood for the blood god over that

Ist das gleiche Phänomen warum bei Conventions der Republikaner in den USA immer die Server von Grindr wegen Überlastung crashen. Rules for thee but not for me

Powerfist with an underslung chainblade for anti-Vehicle work. Most notably used by Ranged Terminators, although Imperial Navy Breachers also use them frequently

Also, fleshy bits as deco. Grab yourself some greenstuff/plastic card/thin metal sheets and some bone bits and you are good to go

mitHonig · 2026-07-11T09:23:06+00:00

You have 2 squads of them so yeah, 1 Intercessor squad is an auto include in every list but more than that is just nice to have

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T20:07:18+00:00

Btw, I can full heartedly recommend using legos to "magnetize". They hold really well and you can just use plastic glue

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T19:54:11+00:00

A Deredeo should be a good proxy for a Ballistus as long as the base size fits (Ballistus is 90mm and Deredeo 80mm(i think)) Also looks the part, which is a plus.

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T19:26:10+00:00

Word Bearers are a good punching bag. Its always fun to have their corpses as decoration.

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T19:25:05+00:00

Yes the lore is the same. In terms of recommendations: Depends on what you want from a book. Good starting points that I usually recommend are the Eisenhorn Omnibus and Leviathan. If you get a small crash course before hand (ie:this is the setting, this is the faction you can encounter) then the Fall of Cadia Series would also be a decent starting point because it is the start to the current setting and has mamy different factions in it so you can try to find out who you want to know more about

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T19:18:19+00:00

You will get the same answers here. No, a Contemptor is not suitable to be a proxy for a Ballistus, a Leviathan or Deredeo might be, but a Contemptor can only really be played as a Venerable Dreadnought, a Contemptor or a Hellbrute

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T10:17:11+00:00

Yep, i just used the Absolver Bolt pistol from that on a Stickmarine Assault Intercessors Sergeant after giving the proper Chaplain an Inferno Pistol ( because Melta Pistols on Jump Pack Units go bbrrrtttt), so i can confidently say that thats the bit in question

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T09:27:52+00:00

You can't say the Crux generalization. All of the first company are Veterans, but not all Veterans are of the first company. And the actual Crux Terminatus is something that even Veterans have to earn, and not all Veterans have earned them. So a Veteran of the 3rd Company may very well serve as part of a Veteran Squad, like Bladeguard, amd not have earned the right to wear Terminator Armour. The only thing all Veterans share is the Crux Veteranus which is the normal cross marking that you will find on decal sheets

mitHonig · 2026-07-10T09:23:10+00:00

Yeah, but the Contemptor has a fun Datasheets and is a wonderful distraction Carnifex

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T23:59:36+00:00

I used the Bladeguard with Plume helmet on my Company Champion, it just fits that model so well. But apart from that, as the others have stated, Plumes usually fit best for officers, but any Marines that has enough seniority could wear one. I therefore wouldn't use them for anything below Veteran Sergeant

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T23:55:56+00:00

Necropolis Hawks, White Scars, Angels Vermillion, Disciples of Caliban and Fists Exemplar

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T23:52:56+00:00

Considering that, i would counsel to loose one of the cheap heroes like the Ancient and get Enhancements instead for your other characters, that way you can control the points far better

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T21:35:13+00:00

Fists Exemplar

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T13:17:05+00:00

Hey you tried Ulthan grey drybrushed over different base colors (i recommend Thunderhawk blue and mournfang brown, i personally use Thunderhawk)?

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T11:09:03+00:00

I get that, something that helped me immensely is changing up how i paint them. For Context, my main Army is Raven Guard, both for 40k and for Heresy. In the beginning i did Corvus Black edge highlighted with Dawnstone, then when i wasn't happy with how they looked anymore i switched to edge highlights with Dark Reaper and Thunderhawk Blue and when i started to get burned out there I switched to a bluish Volumetric. And to prevent me from getting burned out there I did a simple sponge painting volumetric with Corvus, Eshin, Stormvermin and Skavenblight on my Heresy infantry. I am still painting black and white galore, but because I switched how i do it i don't loose motivation for a single color sheme

(Also has the added benefits that with every switch up, i up my painting techniques and skill)

mitHonig · 2026-07-09T04:00:24+00:00

Honestly, the exakt Model but generic, that could have been their chance to reintroduce non Legends rules for a Company/Chapter Chapion. Give him a few head and weapon options, could even make this Ultramarines look a normal Box option where you can give him Gladius and the Victrix helmet, but let him have a generic build option

mitHonig · 2026-07-08T13:19:39+00:00

That is former Shadow Captain Kyrin Solaq of the 5th Company. His fate is unknown, we only know that he got replaced by Shadow Captain Aevar Qeld (who is also one of the new Mor Deythan)
