Will they replace your Sentinels?

Feel Free to ask us anything. Except nuclear launch codes. Apparently, you're not supposed to share those with strangers on the internet. Who Knew?

Whatever model I need to complete my army will always be the most overpriced kit GW makes.

I agree. I always liked the Mk8 suits and really wish we'd got to see some complete suits of Mk8 rather than just a few isolated armour pieces here and there. The reason I instantly accepted the MkX plate is because it looks to me like a fusion of Mk8 and Mk4 armour with a few revised elements. Although GW intended the later armour marks to intermingle a lot more when they designed their plastic kits, I would have liked them to have made it easier to create some "pure" suits of power armour that hadn't been cobbled together out of bits of Mk 6, 7 and 8 armour.

A recce regiment like mine would probably want both.

One of the helmets with the skull face plate reminded me of Houndhammer's Necropolis setting. There was a piece of Tempestus Scions art for the new kill team that also had a similar face plate. I'm really curious about the male hand comparison with the old kits. I tend to use some Custodes hand bits in a few conversions.

Those were the words of the old CEO Tom Kirby, who saw the hobby as collecting models, not gaming, and this philosophy persisted from 2000s to 2014/5 or so when he left. It was probably true at the very conception of 40k/fantasy rules, but not since they codified the games into actual rulebooks. Crusade has been fun, and I ran campaigns in both 9th and the start of 10th, but it's almost too narrative, as in it brings in RPG style bookkeeping to the game which not all enjoy. I'm a firm believer that there's just way too much to think about in modern 40k, and it might be more fun by either playing primary only or secondary only -primary only might be best for 'competitive' and secondary only for 'narrative'.

I would not expect xenos to make an appearance in a scouring expansion. GW has spent way too long making sure model lines don't cross games much to the detriment of everyone caught in the crossfire.

The craft worlds did not appear exactly at the point of the fall, they would have been a relatively monastic part of society for probably tens of thousands of years before that point, and seen as backwards by the depraved rest of Eldar society (almost Amish like?). They would have been building the craft world Arks, Noah style, for thousands of years before flying off in them. Aspects might have been pretty well formed by that point, however I don't think the Eldar were really fighting anyone during great crusade times, mainly running and hiding, so might not have had as much use for aspect warriors. It would be interesting to see it fleshed out, but historically I recall little to no xeno activity of note during the scouring.

It's all good. It did make me laugh. In this day age, it's needed x

I very nearly went with trust scheme, talassar blue over white is very similar. That's a really nice orange also, I'll try it on the next model - do you airbrush?

The first (I think?) Yarrick novel has an audio version, can't speak for the others but it (Imperial Creed) is pretty good. It is a bit odd that they're doing this massive Armageddon push and didn't have a new novel in the queue ready to go with the miniature. Istead choosing to go the WHC route again to explain this massive step for a character like they did with Ghaz, Dante, etc (I assume Seth's eventual Primarisification will happen here too even though that'd be a massive 180 for him, and others will get the same treatment)

Welcome to the forum!

Very nice!

Obadiah: A frown creased his features as he stared at the hololith. He glanced around the bridge, at the human faces trying hard to pretend they weren't paying attention to them, and then his eyes snapped back up to the 'lith. "Strabo said not to murder everyone, and even if we wanted to kill them all that's an issue because any idiot can tell the difference between a poison splinter and a mass-reactive wound. On Endymion, we fought off more than our fair share of knife-ear raids. They take prisoners, presumably hauling them off as slaves, as many as they can." He paused, blue eyes darting around the group. "So why don't we just press-gang them?" He began a slow pace around the hololith, warming to the idea. "And not just the workers, but the security team as well. Swapping down from the Dredge gave us better crew efficiency, but we're still not fully manned. That's a lot of void-capable staff right there. We present as a Loyalist Chapter, out in the open, tell them there's a credible threat from...raiders or xenos or whatever. Dock, evacuate the station, stuff the eldar bodies and gear Strabo gave us in a few spots all rigged up to look like an unsuccessful defense, then blow off the processors and withdraw. If anyone comes to investigate, the obvious conclusion is that the knife-ears seized the station, there was a fight they won, and they dragged off the whole staff." He stopped in his pacing, then turned and squared up to Hagga. "It doesn't fit exactly what Strabo wanted -- " he paused to spit on the decking, " -- but it serves our purposes and fits with the spirit of his request."

Welcome to the B&C, @ponferrada719! If you need anything feel free to ask

Thank you! I need to finish him up but kinda waiting to get other characters done to I and get some new Matt spray thank you…years of painting Sisters of Battle and army painter master class grim dark shadows wash makes it super easy.

So the fields around Harville are labor-intensive? This isn't like other agri-worlds with machines doing allt he work? The good ol' Imperium leave these guys alone and they're stuck doing it all by hand?

God, what I would give for plastic MKIV Castraferrum that they had in resin back then.

Got two Plague Marines done, as vowed. That's 3/7 complete, with the other four having some basecoats done. Will be glad to be done with this project, I haven't enjoyed doing their trim like I thought I would.

World Ablaze looks like they recycled the Dawn of Fire photoshop cover template a bit. Yarrick getting an omnibus reprint again without a new Annandale novel being announced is decidedly annoying. And yes, they're well worth it, but keep in mind that this isn't yet 3rd War of Armageddon Yarrick. One novel is about his early years as a Commissar, the other is the 2nd War and the novella is about him captured by Orks at Golgotha, which rocked hard. The books were obviously building up to the 3rd War, yet a third novel has not happened to this day. Thanks, BL. The Ork omnibus is complete nonsense. People will buy it for Helsreach, which has been omnibus'd before elsewhere, Caves of Ice has been in an Omnibus with many reprints for almost 20 years and I Am Slaughter makes no bloody sense to bundle outside of its series, least of all in an Ork collection, because the book barely even has Orks in it. But seriously, they hit us with a Celebration that had, what, ONE new book we didn't have announced before, a little poll, an article about the Scouring without an announcement of book 2, then follow it up with multiple weeks of no releases, the website closure and forcing a poor App on us, then a two and a half year late sequel audiobook and now at least some new stuff that should've been shown off at the Celebration. Never change, BL/GW, never change. By which I mean, please, change, it's desperately needed.

Here's a brand new, updated Yarrick to fight hypothetical scenarios when he was punctual. Not quite the same ring?
