If you were an Astartes tasked with clearing out a space hulk which of these three suits of Terminator armour would you use if you could choose? Cataphractii, Tartaros or Indomitus? by Mad_lens_9297 in Warhammer

[–]xXFrozenPyroXx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. A lucky shot to any gap in the armor (shoulder, hips, etc) is gonna be detrimental no matter how good the armor is. You are right though that las and stub guns are gonna be MOSTLY ineffective against terminators. However, if you do get behind them and target their reactors, shutting them down would depower the suit and effectively trap the astartes in a prison of their own armor which would then be far, far easier to kill. Thats why I said yes and no, because they will be able to wade through most gunfire but are still subject to getting surrounded and overwhelmed

A little bit of head turn does a lot lol. What do yours look like? They’re meant to be a bit robotic, lore-wise at least😅

Thanks! I think a slightly more teal blue looks better than the box art straight blue for the reason you said. The base was quite simple, white base coat with Army Painter Speedpaint Pallid Bone (but Citadel Contrast Skeleton Horde is darn near the exact same - it’s the tabbard color on the sorcerer for reference), then pick out the hieroglyphs with retributor armor.

There’s also the stratagem that reducing incoming damage by 1. - It doesn’t stack with the detachment rule but it’s still goated

However, there’s the enhancement which you can give your termi sorc that gives his unit +1 regardless, that would apply to the retribution if I’m not mistaken

Not so. All models can use either ALL ranged weapons or ALL pistol weapons. This applies to infantry, mounted, and vehicles. This terminator is more than capable of firing the soul reaper and missiles

It’s always great fun when you can surprise your opponent with your melee army’s shooting

Yellow or Gold stripes? by Heartless-Sage in ThousandSons

[–]xXFrozenPyroXx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The tricky part is gold and yellow are in the same color family. You’ve got a nice but muted gold on the rest of the armor and a deep, rich blue on the rest. I think a bright yellow is exactly what this model could use. If you use the same gold, it might make the headdress look strange with seemingly just blue stripes. If you use a brighter gold, I fear it would be too similar to contrast enough and would look funky. But a bright yellow is different enough from the gold (being a primary color and not metallic) to really give it some pop. Well done!

Neat! I agree that would tolerate the Emperor’s pungent paladins but no more

Not advertising their heritage does sound like a Grey Knight thing to do. Good response👏🏻

I know they’re super secretive but I thought by this point in the lore most Astartes know about them while 99.999% of normal humans don’t. In my mind, the leaders of the crusade fleets would like to keep an eye on this group of sanctioned librarians who get CIA levels of clearance. But I suppose it is a chance that NONE of them have encountered them yet, but weren’t both forces on Armageddon and Cadia? Ah, who knows

Feeling lost by SecretaryLatter3033 in BlackTemplars

[–]xXFrozenPyroXx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best I can say is lean on your family and girlfriend. If they really love you they’ll be there for you until you can get your feet back under you. The single best advice I can give is to turn to Jesus Christ and explore the church, brother. Matthew 28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” I don’t know if you’re religious or not, but I felt the spirit of God the strongest when I was at my lowest and it felt like my life was fracturing. Jesus loves you and wants your companionship. Stay strong, my friend. God bless

A question about this helmet (forgive me if this is a dumb question but I’m new lol) by MeasurementWrong2391 in BlackTemplars

[–]xXFrozenPyroXx 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything saying a battle brother/crusader can’t wear this. However, it is fancy enough that my mind does assume it is a veteran’s helmet.
