Honestly haven't painted a model in about 2 years, and haven't really played in that time either, so starting small with a single Marshal. Anyways: I, ronin_cse, hereby vow the following force of a Marshall (100 pts) to the Eternal Crusade before the end of January (2022). I enter with the mark of the Neophyte, and through the trials of fate and fire, rise to the rank of Initiate by journey's end as a true brethren of the Black Templar order. Should I fail in my vow, I will bear the mark of failure until year's end as repentance.

Well I think that if/when he comes back it will be via the Sanguninor and/or Mepheston somehow. As I mentioned those two have some kind of connection to Sanguinius has been foreshadowed for at least a decade now

I keep seeing people suggest this and I just have to ask: why would the Lion be the one to be upset about the changes Guilliman? If anything The Lion was far less conservative during 30k, going so far as to use an ancient Xeno machine/AI to achieve his goals AND he "died" before the legions were split up so there is no reason for him to maintain the chapters. I just absolutely don't see it.

Well considering Lion, and Russ have canonical reasons to return, and never DIED, yes it makes sense to have them come back in light of Rob. "Well an Apple and an Orange are fruits, why cant a potatoe be a fruit?" Because it isnt. I think you missed the point I was making there. I was pointing out that we have reasons for a Primarch to return for 3 of the 4 "main" SM factions (obviously one has already come back) and it wouldn't feel great for BA to be left out, that being the case I expect BA will get something similar even if it isn't exactly Sanguinius come back to life

I don't see why GW bringing back primarchs, even totally dead ones, is some shocker here. They have been foreshadowing the return of almost all the primarchs for decades now, including Sangunius thanks to the Sanguinor, frankly I have been shocked that it took them this long. Also wouldn't it kind of suck if the Blood Angels were the only of the big 4 to not get their primarch back? I mean The Lion and Russ are almost certainly coming back so that would leave BA as the odd man out, they will almost certainly get something primarch level even if it isn't exactly Sanguinius

I really like this color scheme actually and I really liked the Emperor's Children pre-heresy........hmmmmm

When GS2 came out I had decided to convert all my Eldar to Ynnari as I had just started repainting them anyways, but I have to admit I'm getting a little nervous about doing that now as I'm worried about what their support will look like in the future now that they aren't getting an update at all in CA. My guess is that since the designers don't want to make new versions of old designs over and over again and GW likes releasing new stuff currently....they'll probably use Ynnari as the "new Eldar" with most of the new Eldar model releases for them in the future. I wouldn't worry too much about them. ^^ So you're thinking that it will almost be an Age of Sigmar/Primaris like situation where the old faction is still around but the new one is where all the support will be going?

Except GW has already confirmed on their site that the DA codex is in fact coming this year

Metallica with House Raven certainly seems like the most obvious. I especially like Metallica's color scheme as well so really I think I might have to repaint my slightly painted Ad. Mech. now ;)

Hey all! As the title suggests: what are examples of Forge Worlds and/or Knight Houses that typically work with us? From my research it looks like Forge World Metallica and Knight House Terryn are located in the Ultramar sector (actually not positive on Terryn) so those seem likely, but I can't really find any actual examples. Also I imagine at this point Mars should be working well with us what with Guilliman being the new leader of the Imperium and all and having lots of interactions with Cawl. Anyways please let me know so I can start planning out my next projects! Thanks! ;)

Well I'll tell you that my Eldar primed with white and painted with Mephiston red are much brighter and vibrant than my Ad. Mech who are Mephiston Red with a black prime. Also the blue in your picture doesn't really look that dark to me to be honest :p

That's the nice thing about UM, you can take Guilliman instead of those two...a lot more points though ;)

Well if the blue looks too dark to you it could be something as easy as switching to a white primer instead of black, you might be surprised at what a difference it makes. Also Vallejo game colors tend to match the older GW colors pretty well, you could try some non citadel paints

So it seems to me that the Hellblasters with Heavy Plasma Incinerators are in fact a decent AT option. Str 8 regular and Str 9 when super charging both with a -4 to AP. I mean they are mini las cannons when super charged and they do a flat 2 damage each so they can actually be more consistent than a las cannon and 36" range while shorter than a las cannon is still pretty decent. I am assuming they will be within Guilliman's bubble (or a captain's) so overheating won't be as much of a concern. Do we even need a squad with las or melta when we have these guys?
