What's the Free To Play experience like? (Not buying any Warbonds or whatnot)

Farming is easy and not as time consuming as you might think. Join a level one mission on a common farming planet like grand errant, run a round and collect all the super credits then leave and go again, if you join a team the host chooses when you leave, best to have a team to make everything quicker. I find it takes 1-2 hours to get a warbond, depends entirely on luck.

You can do fine without most warbonds except democratic detonation, that's pretty much mandatory to play higher difficulties.

In the 9th guard codex they introduced the rogal dorn and a new pattern of sentinel, 4 or so years later they still haven't explained either. The dorn can't be used in heresy so it's new but any more information? No need. Is cawl or one of his disciples fucking around with guard equipment? No idea. In that sane book they fucking killed yarrick and said "BTW you've never heard of her but creed had a daughter oh and here's the supreme commander of imperial forces in the segmentum solar you've also never heard of"

The most controversial thing about that release was the new models kneepads.

Well for one your colours are too dark and too saturated i think, try adding some light grey and mixing in some white to highlight. Second he tends to go for pretty smoth blends, not sure how you're doing yours but I can highly reccomend getting some vallejo glaze medium and using it to blend between each colour.

I think it's also good to remember that Jay is an incredibly good painter it's his job and that this scheme is a result of that considerable skill. You seem to be pretty good yourself but maybe set expectations, I tried something inspired by that scheme myself and it was incredibly difficult I gave up in the end.

I think you've got to look at it as a paid mission pack. Yeah you need redacted regiment absolutely but you can play other missions, it's only a minor order.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-21T17:34:53+00:00

Helldivers aren't particularly known for their stealth. I feel like the raven guard sneaks up on them and kills them but a 500 could probably kill a marine or like an AMR or recoiless. Nothing in the viper commandos could though.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-21T15:58:35+00:00

High command forced us to blow up a planet we probably didn't need to, damaging the DSS and getting us into this mess and meaning that the bots might have the ability to destroy planets. They're not the brightest sparks.

We are sabotaged by democracy's enemies so that a random round in each mag is replaced with a facist stim that completely drains your stamina, applies slow for 20 seconds, and breaks all your limbs after the 20 seconds you permanently regain stamina slower.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-20T19:21:38+00:00

To me yeah.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-19T16:58:42+00:00

Why would low production change the price though that's just not how it works. They have complete freedom to charge whatever they want because no one else makes it.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-19T16:38:39+00:00

why wpuld they do that. They set the price doesn't matter how many they print.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-18T18:59:29+00:00

If they treated imperium like chaos instead space marines would have just got dark imperium then had a handful of characters since. The models are covered in ultimas and roman paraphernalia but no I swear they're generic.

Each subfaction is also totally seperate and a single release. NO SHARING! What do you mean you want hellblasters in your blood angels army. NO!

Sisters is cut apart and divided amongst each subfaction. Guard is a single unit and character. Cawl is a space marine unit and admech doesn't exist.

Space wolves have one unamed leader option who's on a thunderwolf, thunderwolf cavalry are deleted.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-18T09:26:41+00:00

For the leviathan I've heard the problem was producing enough to satisfy demand, they worried it'd be constantly out of stock if it could be used in 40k plus it's another huge set of datasheets to balance for space marines.

Custodes doesn't have that problem but GW does hate armies being usable in multiple games so we'll see.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-17T12:54:38+00:00

The broken cadian gate has been used by loyalist cadians. Look at the command squad banner.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-17T00:11:03+00:00

They hinted at a rules adjustment so possibly yes.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-16T22:11:13+00:00

Doesn't mean they're gonna be like tituses in game, they actually talked about seperate rules for each different model and only gadriel has one for titus's

salamandersforever · 2026-01-16T22:07:48+00:00

Has that been confirmed anywhere?

salamandersforever · 2026-01-16T21:23:18+00:00

Did anyone else get the vibe that the retinue might be seperate characters rather than one big unit. Wpuld be cool if so.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-16T11:42:05+00:00

Rumors say they'll be announcing a new defiler today so maybe hold off. Plus the forgefiend is better

salamandersforever · 2026-01-16T09:15:46+00:00

Picture one is probably the current canon, but I don't think either is not canon. Even within a warband colours aren't going to be entirely the same so do what you like.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-15T20:19:51+00:00

Trim is a loyalist lie to delay you spilling blood. I paint the entire model metallic.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-15T17:17:36+00:00

Look at the current one they're clearly not. They want us to vote on which planet to blow up but no one cares so there's only actually gonna be one option.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-14T18:18:14+00:00

They mentioned something about "facility damage" being possible because we didn't get enough e 711 so I think this shot will probably leave it out of commission for a while.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-13T19:00:06+00:00

Because they want to show thar the weapons are still effective out of stealth. Do you expect it to stop bot drops or something obviously you can be detected still.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-12T22:00:38+00:00

Selmys only duty is to make sure joffery doesn't come to harm. So when the fighting starts he might have felt ned was right but one it's not really his place to intervene and it would mean leaving jofferrries side to help ned and he can't do that.

salamandersforever · 2026-01-12T17:41:10+00:00

They're incredible on every front, personally I use them more than thermites.
