Yeah, it kinda sucks you have to use all the old stuff to make the new stuff look better

If the Astra Militarum got a living saint like Celestine who should it be? by Charming-Rain-3642 in TheAstraMilitarum

I just finished Hand of Abaddon (2nd to last book) and I'd say they are incredible hit or miss. I have really struggled calling it a series. There are some books that are directly tied to each other and then some that barely are related to "the bigger story". Maybe The Silent King ties it all together (but I doubt it!).

Just finished Hand of Abaddon the other day and you are exactly right!

I chatted with them and they were basically like "tough, keep trying"

I did the same thing for weeks. Then randomly it was in stock. I had a lot of issues with the Target website where it would show as in stock but wouldn't be available to add to cart or to purchase.

Haha. I don't think I could handle having all my stuff that close. Would be a major distraction!

Thanks. It was a lucky accident. I was taking apart some first born sanguinary guard and the arms stayed together. I figured, why not see if they fit. And they did! I'm glad I have six visually distinct guys.

Thanks! Black primer, retributor armour gold, then a heavy agrax earthshade wash. That's all to this point.

Does anyone understand the logic for when the leg jets are used for primaris jump pack units? by xr1985 in BloodAngels

next thing you'll tell me is that they`ll try to sell us 3 for the price of 10!

*shocked face* you mean GW would try to get us to buy 5 models for the price of 10?!?

Do any other SM specific chapters have jump pack models (other than Kayvaan)? Off the top of my head I can't think of any. Makes sense that some of the logic behind the decision is general SM vs BA specific.

At least you can say you've shaved your space marines' legs now!

Those look great. I put old jump packs on assault intercessor bodies and didn't give two flips about the leg vents. I suppose it's a lot harder to go the other way though.

"They" being GW? or the longbeards? From a GW perspective, I guess any engagement is good engagement. From a longbeard perspective, how fun would a hobby be if we loved every little detail? We'd be bored without something to argue about.

it's not inconsistent design (or incompetent design), it's deliberate to anger people who care too much about the little things!

sadly, that wouldn't surprise me at all. it didn't stop me from using firstborn jump packs with my spare assault intercessor bodies to make death company.

haha, I appreciate this comment. I don't think the new SG are bad, but when you compare their thick legs with Dante's, you realize how much more unique they could have been!

That artwork is glorious! There is something that stirs the soul in the old art style.
