Can't win all the time. 

[Tiger9gamer]

yea i kno but the way they had it it seems that the DE beat them in almost every way, so that rustles more than the loss.

[Komrk]

You talking about Parocheus ?

[Flint13]

Hehe...

 

The dark Eldar are my only 40k army :D

[Tiger9gamer]

Yup!

 

also it didnt help I read that hen I as a little sick so I may have over-reached <.>

[Komrk]

No no, you couldn't overreact to the end of that story

[Tiger9gamer]

So you agree it was a bit of a stretch too?

[Komrk]

More than a bit

[Tiger9gamer]

Okay good. what is more absurd in your opinion about that piece. 

[Knight of the Raven]

Now I remember why I hate dark eldar covens so much.

 

Fits with what they did to the Space Wolves' aspirants in the last codex though. Guess dark eldars really don't like being ambushed.

[Flint13]

Dark Eldar do the ambushing. They don't get ambushed.

 

Unless they want to.

 

But that's a whole other thing. 

[Tiger9gamer]

at least the story wasnt in m41. I think it took place during m38 or so, so at least the RG still have lots for the ork waagh thats apparently on their doorstep...

 

 

is it still there?

[Paulochromis]

I see you support Raven Guard and successors. Any thoughts for RG wannabes?

Now that the new C:BA is out (with no jump troops!) I'm thinking of re-purposing my (mostly painted) 8th Co Ultramarines.

Any Blue successors?

[Conn Eremon]

This thread, and others like it, only collect what is relevant to their subforum or thread topic. This one is specific to Raven Guard because it's in the Raven Guard subforum. There's an Iron Hands one in the Iron Hands subforum, there are multiple thread topics for each Traitor Legion in the Chaos Marines subforum and so on and so forth.

 

The Ultramarines don't appear to have one, from what I can see from the Ultramarines subforum, but if you speak to Captain Idaho and Seahawk, who lead that subforum, perhaps one can be made.

[Paulochromis]

I think you've missed my point.

I like the Ultramarines paint scheme, and enjoyed McNeill's books.

I'm not particularly fond of their doctrine nor how they play in the tabletop version of 40k, hence my adoption of two reserve companies, the 6th (biker-based, using C:SM White Scars and/or C:DA Ravenwing) and the 8th (jumper-based, previously using C:BA, and now considering C:SM Raven Guard [with Korvydae] or C:SM [ForgeWorld] Fire Hawks).

 

I see no reason why I should be restricted to looking for strategies/tactics - specifically those related to the use of jump-pack equipped marines (ASM or VV) which I believe to be an RG specialty - in the UM subforums because of my preference regarding paint.

[Conn Eremon]

I see that I did, after re-reading it. Sorry, I thought you said you were still fielding an Ultramarines Company but intended to use Raven Guard rules, which is why I was trying to direct you to where a topic about listing Ultramarines Companies and Successors would be. I missed the part where you wanted to recreate your army as a Raven Guard Successor, while keeping the color scheme.

 

No, there's no reason why you can't do that. You got a Chapter name in mind? I suppose technically that's all you need.

 

Now, that said, you're not restricted at all, even if you did keep them as Ultramarines. So long as your local playing group is okay with that, it really doesn't matter. If you want your army to still be the Ultramarines, keep it that way. You might not be able to add it to this topic's list, but that doesn't stop anybody from discussing rules.

 

As an aside, if you want to really go through with it and create some lore and write up an Index Astartes article for what has essentially become your DIY Chapter, you can discuss it in the Liber Astartes subforum as well.

[Conn Eremon]

Sorry for the trouble, but would it be okay if I got a new Raven Coin that simply says 'Conn' to replace the old?

[Knight of the Raven]

Sure.

Don't expect me to remember who you are now though.

[Dosjetka]

Careful! It's the dangerous Conn-man :ph34r:

[Conn Eremon]

Interestingly enough, when I was looking up any Conn-somethings already registered here, Connman was one of the taken ones. So was just Conn, and the bastard hadn't even been online for like a dozen years, but ah well. Conn Eremon is more personalized anyways, vastly more likely to not be taken already like I had to constantly deal with just Conn.

 

And look who's talking, Ludo. :p

 

Thanks for the quick response, Raven's Knight. Insert just as planned meme, because of course a Raven Guard fan likes the idea of hiding in plain sight. :wink:

[Nusquam]

Are we going on about the Covens supplement story? Yeah it was strictly DE fanservice. Had a "Anything you can do I can do better. Because we're the main faction of this supplement." ring to it.

 

Also, I'm back in full swing. Life interrupted my hobby-time. I'm now returning to my 30k RG force and by extension, since a lot of the marines will be from the Pale Nomads chapter, my 40k Carcharodons.

[Flint13]

Speaking of going on about short stories, can we discuss "Value of Fear" by Gav Thorpe? 

 

I'm curious if you folks on this side of the fence thought it was as goofy as all the 8th legion kids. 

[Tiger9gamer]

I personally liked it. didn't seem to bury any legions and to be honest corax popping out of the corner would scare the piss out of anyone not used to it. 

[JeffTibbetts]

Yeah, Flint. I didn't have a problem with it. I thought it was kind of nice to have a random NL running around messing with the RG guy's head. Subtly implying that he should be doing things differently. That he didn't think for himself. Corax being there got weird, but in a way in reinforced both of their points.
