Sure, but the game has gotten a lot Tougher since then; having two full factions that basically don't dip below T8 means that a S4 bolter is wounding those factions, at best, on a 6+.

 

Knight armies should have household infantry.  An army of nothing but big vehicles was always a terrible idea.

Are guard armoured companies a problem too?

Chimeras can transport troops. So you will have infantry after all.

Has anyone checked in on the Grey Knight players? I’m worried they may do something extreme.

 Have you seen my little box called the Terminus Decree?

Sure, there also wasn't Imperial/Chaos Knights and routine Primarchs to deal with.

Then maybe confine such excesses to larger games/Apocalypse where they belong rather than forcing lethality ever upwards?

My comment was just a light-hearted response to jaxom's joke about being senile but I caught a stray deletion too. (Who isn't a geezer here??) Please do not put poor, innocent, blameless, guileless, pure-hearted phandaal on any bad lists because of that.

 

On topic - Calgar's new model seems to be the least favorite of the new kits here, but I think his epic chin butt is awesome. That dude's jawline should have its own wargear stats.

It is his third power first.

That is quite literally what I said would be the most preferred outcome.  It's a non starter, because it invalidates people's armies. I was called a bad person for even having the opinion in another thread. 

 

Admittedly, mods deleted that post while letting Mogger continue to rant unabated so I apparently don't understand the rules for engagement around here anymore.

I remember a handful of blurbs saying that the Victrix Guard are more of a formation outside of the Ultramarines and encompassing members from across the Ultramarines Successor Chapters. That got me thinking it would be neat to represent that in-between all the blue and ultima-symbology, and thankfully, outside of the champion assembly, all the lads have a blank right knee, so I scribbled this real quick.

Might be a bit too subtle.

 

Now just hoping that this kit includes a new transfer sheet with some successors like the other chapter got, though I'll have to practice my freehanding regardless.

This was something playing out in my mind as well.  It was never mentioned/described (that I recall anyway) how they could be distinguished as from a successor Chapter rather than an actual UM.  There must have been though, as several characters could tell in the lore.

I was contemplating several options.  Paint then in the Chapter colours with the specialised armour denoting their role?  Leave as shown but replace either the left or right pauldron with their Chapter icon (ala Deathwatch)?  Use a differentiating colour scheme (black/white/etc UMs anyone)?

In the end, I love your idea of using the blank right knee.  It blends in nicely with the overall appearance of the models without detracting the viewer and requires little customising/bit box hunting by the assembler.

Now all we have to do is convince GW to release a transfer sheet in the right scale.

These are absolutely fantastic.  As a total ultramarines fanboy Ill be grabbing all of these....2 of the victrix guard so i can build a shooty and a stabby set.  The poses are great and very much in keeping with the old sets.  An excellent job by the sculptors in my opinion.   Rules wise, i dont care since I dont play 40K anymore, I just collect and paint stuff. I dont like the new rules at all.

A slew of posts that weren't about the subject models have been hidden.

 

It's not that difficult to create new topics for different subjects, folks.

Victrix Guards are all UM vets, you may be thinking of the Chosen of the Tetrarchy, bodyguards of captain Felix (Dark Imperium's gravis captain)
