BluejayJunior Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Definitely. I'm trying to power through my first vow now. I'm almost done with a scout squad, then it's just Devastators, Primaris Lt, and terminator captain.

dread05 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sorry for changing the subject, but I want some opinions. I started building a librarian today and for his torso I used the grey knight bit with the big psychic hood. long story short, the jump pack doesnt fit at all now, so I'll have to use a MK IV jump pack. Problem is I dont have any. The cheapest one on ebay sells for 8,5 euros and for 22 I could get a whole Sanguinary guard box. I already have 4 guards with plasma pistols and 4 with angelus boltguns, and I've been thinking to build 4 more with inferno pistols, but then I'd have to get 3 more inferno pistols from ebay, since I butchered the 2 I had when I cut them from the sprue (really that spure was terrible) plus an extra power fist, and thats even more money Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/324/#findComment-5098320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I build them with inferno pistols? Should I build them with boltguns ? Should I upgrade my 4 man squads to 5 or 6 man squads? Should I just get a jump pack from ebay? stuff like that :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/324/#findComment-5098418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slothysaur Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) The SG box is a great value and has tons of BA bits; I'd grab the box rather than a single part of it for that price. Anecdotal edit: I've purchased 4 SG boxes yet have only 10 SG in my collection. The other two boxes went to kit bashes and characters.

Damon Nightman Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Also get some magnets too! Then you can swap the bolters for inferno pistols later if you wanted.

I've picked up 3 boxes and have turned them into: 10 S Guard, a Librarian, a Sanguinary Priest, 2 captians (one a Slam) and One S Ancient. Mind you I also added a box of Vanguard Veterans for the kitbashes.

You might have to give me a day or so to get back with that. If you have the Gravis Captain from the Dark Imperium box, he's the same size as an Aggressor.

Paladin777 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) He’s not that much taller than other Primaris though, granade aside. My intercessors tower above everything else. I’ll try to remember to take and post a comparison picture later.

dread05 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I dont own any primaris yet, I was thinking to add a squad of aggressors with flamers to a flamer themed army, but they'll look too big compared to anything else :O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/324/#findComment-5100578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Only if they stand side by side. The bigger the distance between two units the less noticeable is the size difference. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/324/#findComment-5100581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dread05 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 On a side note, the sanguinary guard and characters I've made with that kit, are also one head taller than regular marines, so I guess they difference with primaris is very small.

Majkhel Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Mulling over getting a Stormhawk box at 40 % off the RRP. Do I really need it and/or will I ever use it? Stormhawk is a pretty nice, fast dakka machine. And pretty useful considering the number of units with FLY keyword. I'm thinking on getting one myself at one point. Especially since I have some Tau players around.

Indefragable Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Mulling over getting a Stormhawk box at 40 % off the RRP. Do I really need it and/or will I ever use it? Not to get all mercantile, but for that price it's worth picking up now and deciding later. Worst case scenario, you sell/trade it later for 25% of MSRP and still make it worth your while. That being said, Stormhawk box lets you build either a Stormhawk or Storm Talon. Despite not owning any myself (personally, I went for the Xiphon from FW instead), I think any power armor list can make use of a Storm Talon. Fast, accurate, decent dakka, and relative low cost...what's not to like? Storm hawks can really prove their mettle when facing lists that have things that Fly...which this edition, is far more than you think (hello almost every Eldar/Necron/Tau vehicle...)
