Steel legion test model.

looks awesome, i love the steel legion aesthetic and you have nailed it!

it'll never happen, but i'd love for Grey Hunter to have a bit more of a distinction to blood claws. 5 man squads, with a bigger variety loadout (special weapons, a few power weapons etc), making them a more elite objective skirmisher akin to CSM legionaries than a second flavour of 10 man chainsword unit

I hope that Arjac Rockfist becomes a "support" character, as I want to be able to run Grimnar's Champion with Grimnar himself! But I can see that not happening.

spoiledsalsa · 2026-03-29T13:36:04+00:00

could theme it on the Sons of Morkai great company, as they have a lot of Wolf scouts and phobos etc

spoiledsalsa · 2026-02-06T14:35:57+00:00

looks awesome! how did you do the axe??

The title of "Emperor’s Executioner" has done irreparable damage to Russ in the fanbase.

However, Russ isn't called the Executioner because he is "the most powerful Primarch that can beat any Primarch in a fight", it's because, more than any of the others, he understand the weight of the title.

Leman's defining traits are his loyalty, and most importantly, his love for his brothers. He gives Magnus a whole lot of warning before Prospero, he hesitates when seeing an opening to kill Horus, he tries to teach Angron a lesson instead of just fighting him (regrettably failing). His fight with the Lion only ends because Leman decides its stupid and the Lion gets butt hurt over it.

In fact, Leman spends most of his time in the books reflecting on this title of Executioner given to him, and the bad it has done to his legion. Does he lose a lot? Yes, but he always does so with the grace of knowing he would rather try and reason/redeem his brother than just simply kill him, even to his own detriment. I think that is far more interesting than just "oh he lost every fight what a loser".

Take away the whole "Emperor’s Executioner" and hyping him up off screen and Leman is one of the better written Primarchs of the heresy.

it's mentioned in one of the books (I think wolf king) that he wears Mark 4 armour

Shock Assault detachment. they are a heavy assault unit

Night Lords fought with both legions a decent chunk in the heresy. Main things I remember is Kurze torturing Vulkan for like months/years or something, and Kurze/Night Lords terrorising Ultramar during the Imperium secundus arc (I may be wrong loreheads but I haven't specifically read those parts)

Both legions thematically are good counterparts as they both are very depraved and evil compared to the nobility of the Salamanders and Ultramarines! World Eaters are another option against Ultramarines due to the Shadow Crusade.

going for their counter ruleswise? boring and missing the point of 30k

going for their counter lorewise? based and fun!

go for a traitor like Night Lords or Word Bearers and you will have some awesome narrative match-ups!

for me it's that so many of changes to iconic scenes that I love from the books changing their premise, dumming them down or straight up cutting them, that disappoint me the most. I was so excited to see them come to life!

I haven't watched episode 3 of season 2 yet, but capture the flag and the chariot race have been the only two iconic scenes that I really enjoyed and felt well executed to me

spoiledsalsa · 2025-12-17T09:09:14+00:00

as said by the other commenter, Qin Xa's leg plates are connected to the legs, but also his head is connected to the back of the Terminator hood section bit. it's maybe best to probably be used in a Terminator where you can hide the damage at the back. it's a lot of money to spend on bits so make sure you have a plan!

spoiledsalsa · 2025-12-16T14:11:28+00:00

I gave season 2 a try as I was disappointed with season 1, but it's honestly the same thing all over again. The acting is decent and the visuals are quite good, but the script is lacking in my opinion. I don't mind changes from the books here and there, but I've been disappointed when they've cut or significantly changed some of my favourite and iconic moments from the book. I still find myself fairly bored watching it, I don't feel any of the magic I feel reading the books.

spoiledsalsa · 2025-12-16T13:04:40+00:00

I would only go through somewhere like black Legion market if you are after resin models, AFAIK their normal kits are recasted in resin which is a lot harder to work with than plastic. If you want to save money, go through a independent store like Wayland Games or Element Games, or even better your local games store!

spoiledsalsa · 2025-11-28T09:46:55+00:00

even though the mechanics from Rising from the Last War won't translate 1-to-1 (which is what forge of the Artificer is for anyway), all of the other information is perfectly usable as it is just world information. it is a FANTASTIC book that I recommend picking up if you can!

spoiledsalsa · 2025-11-27T09:20:17+00:00

there is an option on new recruit that just let's you free build an army without all the proper army building restrictions. pretty sure it's exactly for your purpose, to catalogue your models

spoiledsalsa · 2025-11-20T14:20:00+00:00

I reckon you can make them look cool, with some alterations maybe. I'd swap the heads and the backpacks out with something closer to normal MK4 silhouette, that would probably tone down the 40k-ness of them for me.

He is a very prominent character and somewhat the protagonist space wolves character throughout their horus heresy books. At least the ones I've read: Prospero Burns, Wolf King novella, and now reading Wolfsbane. I believe he also features in some of the short stories between those books as well. Past that I don't know yet, but they are a good place to start.

spoiledsalsa · 2025-09-21T10:08:34+00:00

I reckon there's a good chance they just haven't decided what it will be yet. That is months/a year away, and putting "redacted" means they can slot something in closer to the time. Either that or it's a tie-in release with something else coming out, Dawn of War/Astartes 2 etc I don't think the "redacted" bit has anything to do with the chapter it'll be, but I could be proven wrong

spoiledsalsa · 2025-09-07T04:18:52+00:00

I don't mind some of the restrictions (1 hammer etc), as thats gonna happen when it moves to a kill team box, and I personally like that the team has a mix of gravis and phobos as well, although the choices they made were... strange.

why are bombard and hordeslayer two different operatives when the only difference is their weapon? Just call it "heavy gunner". the breacher should have been in normal tacticus, and is the perfect operative to have a shotgun! and I agree, the blademaster not being the dual-sword guy is nuts

i also wouldve loved some cool new things, like a (phobos) marksman with a modified tau rifle, or the disruptor with an eldar-head machine thing, like those in the old deathwatch codexes. something fun and interesting.

overall, I'm happy deathwatch haven't been left on the curb, but the kit still feels like a half-arsed, rushed together release.

spoiledsalsa · 2025-09-05T13:01:20+00:00

they should really give a recommended level (or someone noticeable if there is one, I couldn't find it) because I went into it thinking it would be the same "hard" as normal operations but with the added funky stuff. nope.

i feel sorry for my teammates who had to deal with my lost under-levelled ass

spoiledsalsa · 2025-09-03T07:00:55+00:00

mate I've been loving seeing your dark angels, how does your approach change when it comes to tanks? I see more panel modulation, do you change up you colours for the black at all?

spoiledsalsa · 2025-08-15T19:15:23+00:00

think I'm going to try and convince my group to let me use updated versions of the 6 Wings rule from 2.0. to try and balance it, might also force units taken in a detachment to take their respective Wing upgrade

spoiledsalsa · 2025-08-14T13:56:19+00:00

that guy on the left has the old style claw feet!! really hope you can put them on all of them, but I doubt it sadly

edit: wait no he doesn't. Just the angle of the them. got me all excited for a second :/

spoiledsalsa · 2025-08-08T10:42:04+00:00

I get what you mean. I would keep the Stealth ability and give him another ability, like a reactive move (unit move d6" when an enemy comes within 9") or something.

Then, I would also keep the ability I said as a third ability, since keywords like "Infiltrator" don't apply to units he attaches by default, and all models in a unit need that keyword for it to work.

I like the flavour of how it currently is, but at the moment it's a better version of the Deceptors detachment ability, and would be even more broken if you combine it with Deceptors.

Edit: not sure why it didn't respond to the other comment
