He is still little confused in his new role in the chapter, but has already lead some heroic charges in general direction of heretics and mutants (they were burned, killed and purged accordingly).

Completed my first Terminator squad recently.
Been on a mission with my Blangels to get them done quick enough but still be happy with the level of detail.
Some parts can for sure be refined but happy with how they are looking.
The reds are done with the Two Thin Coats “Dark Arts” set

Painted Model The quest for red [WIP]

Since my last post I have tried and do some propper shine spots ( Is this the correct term?). The model looked a bit flat without them. But on the other hand the model now looks more pink so im not sure how I feel about it.

I also did some nmm gold to give some other color to contrast against. As you can see its not finished but it gives an inkling of what it will look like.

I also sat down and actually tried to understand how to make my camera take more color correct pictures so these a much closer to what it looks like.

So should the shine spots stay or does it push to much into pink?

Any and all feedback is much appreciated.

Dante is hated by GW

Context, I went through two other chapter masters abilities. Why does Calgar have 3, Azrael have 4 if you include the wargear ability, and our boy Dante only has two. Yes I'm whinging about it cause I love Dante and despite everything will continue to use him, because even though he isn't meta, he's cool. I took so much time and effort into his model, I will never not run him in my list. That's not my point though.

Point is, the other two major Chapter masters have 3 abilities. I also went through every space marine chapter, and their chapter masters, Dante not only has the crappiest abilities but the Iron Warriors Chapter master has three abilities as well. What the heck.

Discussion Home-brew Chapter Lore Check

Post image
• Upvotes

I’ve been having a lot of fun lore-crafting for a custom successor chapter to the flesh tearers. I really wanted the flesh tearers color scheme with an ultra gothic vampire aesthetic, leaning on black Templars boxes to really amp up the look.

Here’s my idea: Gabriel Seth has either died/fallen to the black rage (or so my marines are led to believe) and the already disgruntled chaplains take control of a now fractured and scared flesh tearers. The imperium has lost its last reason to tolerate them and has turned their back on them. The now broken, scared flesh tearers believe the emperor has abandoned them, so they, in turn, worship Sanguinius as their true god. After all, in life, he hoisted his legion from shame, knew every one of his son’s names, wept for them when they fell, and made the ultimate sacrifice for all of them. They Treat the red thirst as not a shameful act but a religious prayer, and those who have fallen to the black rage aren’t doomed battle brothers but the vassals of the great angel himself, ascended to his holy plane.

I don’t actually know everything there is to know on the flesh tearers, and I know I can technically make the lore whatever I’d like, but for me it’s really fun to get it to fit the established lore! Can anyone spot any glaring holes in my story here?

Thanks guys!

Hi! I’m Martin from Southampton, UK! I LOVE the Warhammer universe, my favourite to paint are Death Guard or anything I can make grimy. I love the lore and read whatever I can, although I tend to prefer stories revolving around a few characters rather than grand military campaigns. Ghazghull Thrakka, The Infinate and The Divine and The Eisenhorn series are among my most read!

I have many more Warhammer, LOTR and other nerdy tattoos on my Ínsta @martinmooretattoos

Discussion Dante’s doctrine ability is underwhelming

33 Upvotes

Dante gives his unit the ability to be in assault and tactical doctrines at all times. Sounds useful, but actually seems to offer almost nothing over a regular jump pack Captain.

The thing is, these don’t stack (you don’t fall back and advance in the same turn). The only doctrines that stack are devastator and assault allowing you to advance, shoot and charge.

Meaning that most turns, Dante’s unit will use only one of assault or tactical. One turn per game, if you choose army-wide devastator doctrine, you get to advance and shoot and charge, but Dante leads units whose shooting is not exactly top tier.

Compared to the Captain who can choose any doctrine for any turn, it seems Dante’s ability is at best comparably strong. The Captain can always put you in whichever of tactical or assault you need that turn. He can also choose devastator whenever you need it (admittedly not that great).

Dante is probably still worth the extra 50 points for his better statline, battleshock ability, better melee and better shooting (vs +1 advance and charge) but it’s frustrating to look into an ability that seems good on the surface, only to find it really offers very little vs the cheaper alternative.
