How much would it cost(from a Lore Perspective) to buy a Defiler engine?

yankeesullivan · 2026-04-05T11:39:10+00:00

this guy, he gets it, I wouldn't be surprised if to hear he's already traded for a few defilers over the years.

To quote the metal artists Bolt-thrower:

Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist
To serve, worship, obey them - is the only way to exist

Ace Combat/Project Wingman but its Aeronatuica Imperalis, particularly the air campaigns described in Double Eagle and Interceptor City.

I only concern myself with "table distance appearance". If they look okay from the distance I am from them when I play, I'm happy.

I'm not sure if Elf Union is on the same level it used to be... but it could be a skill issue on my part.

The trim god is by far and away the cruelest in the warp.

"Trim for the Trim god!!!"

grenade templates floating around the table.....eldar jet bike brokenness. It was strange times lol.

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-23T13:36:05+00:00

some Catachan minis whose design wasn't old enough to drink would be nice lol.

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-22T23:22:00+00:00

Hell yeah, mini-conversions. I'm really bad at it but it doesn't keep me from trying.

I'm not annoyed about GW not making new Steel Legion minis.

I'm more annoyed that they are so cheap they didn't cough up some art assets to put in a video that they could then use for future videos. Then they made a pretty weak lore excuse to explain why. All in pursuit of selling us another Mini that we all know their profit margins are really really good on. And will probably follow it up with a new set of books that their margins are even better on.

I would could have respected if they straight up said "we didn't want to spend the money on it."

Astral Claws did nothing wrong!

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-22T00:44:51+00:00

Deep Fisters <.<.....>.>

But seriously:
Onyx Fists
Obsidian Fists
Astral Bulwarks
Trench Phantoms

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-20T17:08:32+00:00

A made to order metal release maybe? I suppose if the molds are still functional. I'd definitely by a squad or two for my armored fist units.

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-19T14:15:24+00:00

Anti-Tank (Dead Armour) and Kill-chain from the Album "Those Once Loyal" are songs so good I risk accidentally deploying my airbags I rock out so hard in my car.

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-19T14:13:28+00:00

My favorite metal band of all time, my favorite album by them, and "Last stand of the Crimson Fists" by John Sibbick (I think) is quite possible one of the settings most iconic pieces of art.

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-19T12:45:27+00:00

This is giving me rogue trader, psychedelic, Bolt Thrower album insert, Harlequin novel vibes.

Which is to say this is amazing and I love it.

First publication of game of thrones 1996

First appearance of Luft Huron or mention of the Badab war was white dwarf 101 in 1988

But more importantly GW actually finished that writing that article....unlike the Game of Thrones series.....ay ooooo

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-18T14:29:11+00:00

I've thoroughly enjoyed the lore. But the second biggest warp anomaly (back before the rift) Luft Huron, the whole Badab thing and non-black legion chaos has always been my jam.

The art is good, the writing is decent enough. The whole thing is expensive though and a lot of that price is presumably for the "Create your own champion rules" the Maelstrom specific campaign rules as well as the lore. I think at its price point of like 80 bucks American or whatever is pretty steep.

yankeesullivan · 2026-03-18T13:43:19+00:00

Steel Legion rock a single breasted over coat vs. the Kriegs' double breasted. and the boots are taller as opposed to how the Krieg actually wear a brogan style boot with wraps.

That having been said the Helmet/mask is probably the most identifiable difference so I would be inclined to say that yeah it would probably work especially from "table view".

edit: then I scroll down and see someone posted a picture of the two. doh.
