SydonianDragoon404 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 What's your plan for dealing with hordes Medj? Or are you doing a rock, paper, scissors thing where you are playing to a specific strength? That's a viable strategy to concentrate on one area and accept a specific weakness.

Hymnblade Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 how do you guys model your incursors and whatever else in phobos? i find it hard to imagine them as templars, their aesthetic is just too different If you don't call attention to the "tacticool" kit, they don't really look out of place. Giving them some more medieval weapons helps. I went with poleaxes, but swords/short swords (even dual swords) would be an easy-to-believe stand-in for paired knives.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) These are my Phobos marines, (I have a couple of squads now) I prefer the look of infiltrators over Incursors, but usually play these as the latter. I also bought Phobos moulded pads for them from The Emperor's Fist Bits on Etsy. Definitely recommend his stuff. I reasoned that the initiates will often swap from their primary tacticus armour, which would be more traditionally decorated, into their Phobos armour for more covert work. So it wouldn't be as ornate. I so reasoned that full tabards wouldn't be the most practical garment for such work, and it also gave me an opportunity to use all of those small tabards I had. (An FLGS infrequent has a bits box people donate spares to, and I often raid it for tabards, parchments and purity seals, apparently other people eschew these items to avoid painting them?!? Heretics.) Edited October 11, 2020 by Brother Adelard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hymnblade Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If we only get one Primaris character, then from a rules perspective, Helbrecht is the one I'd most want. He's a great leader for the army, yet transport restrictions are a big issue for him because you can't easily get his auras up the field. You also can't Transhuman non-Primaris characters anymore, so getting that back for him would be nice. I think everyone wants a Primaris EC too, because of course we do - but the old EC model is still one of the best models in the SM range, so I don't really mind keeping him a while longer, haha.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm of Reinhard's thinking. One Primaris character is massive news for the longevity of our army. Once we have one model in plastic, our range is safe painting.for.my.sanity, Champion Rawne and Mmmmm Napalm 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urkh Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm worried that in my no-primaris force, I will no longer be able to run Helbrecht. If all of our characters end up going through the Rubicon, and they legends all the previous versions as they did with the others, it feels like GWS is forcing primaris on us, and I don't like that. I'm happy for everyone else who doesn't have this issue though. I know I am the minority.

Sete Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Helbrecth is my favourite char, so I'm over the moon. Gonna be a long wait tho. Keep safe brothers, GW now sells BT face masks.

Well, I feel no need to stress too much about it until it actually happens. My cousin points out that having the old mini in metal is "veteran swag" haha! If anything, it gives me a reason a convert a new firstborn High Marshal that isn't Helbrecht. Sete 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy for everyone else who doesn't have this issue though. I know I am the minority. I felt the same way for the longest time. In fact, I still don't own any Primaris. The new cluster of sword and shield units almost convinced me, but just about everything else that wasn't on a bike soured me on this latest wave. Holding onto grudges and feeling strongly about things is a very BT way to be, but I think I'm 1 faithful model and solid supplement away from taking the plunge. Maybe 2021 will be our year. Hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urkh Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I bought a command starter (mostly for the terrain and the rulebook) so I do actually own a small amount of primaris. However, as far as I'm concerned they are going to sit there for a very long time not getting any paint. I still have a lot of firstborn stuff I want to buy before I even think about expanding into primaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Man if the rumors ARE true then I think Im done buying Primaris until next year, I dont want to have a full army that doesnt have a new upgrade kit and then have the kit released. Guess its back to Custodes and IG for me, maybe I'll just pretty up my Firstborn and play with them once this pandemic stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
