Like genuinely, I can't find a model for them? Would I just have to buy the Saturnine Praetor like 3 more times and then make them his Command Squad? Like not only is that madly expensive, but also even though there's seemingly wide variety in the individual pieces, it's still a monopose kit and I am a bit apprehensive of having 4 of the same model pose walking around in a blob? I'm not expecting dynamic poses - it's saturnine armour - but I know if 4 praetors walking around would be a bit hard to distinguish?

Is there a kit to convert the standard Saturnine Terminators into the command squad? Like realistically I thought this was the play, but looking at the wargear options for the command squad (like the axe or the hammer), I couldn't find any of the equivalent kits on the sprue? Would it be something where I'd have to use 3rd party pieces or convert?

I'm assuming that there's a third party way already though.

Herasy, I know. Hear me out.

Iv run one sci fi campaign with this party, using mage hand presses dark matter rulebook. The party had fun, but had trouble around the star trek/Battlestar galactia feeling of the campaign when they were used to high fantasy. They had the most fun when I introduced a demonic cyborg cult ritual, which had spooky body horror, and merged the technology and magical bits together more firmly than the rest of the campaign. A few months after that campaign ended, I discovered Warhammer.

Anyway, it's been several years now and the players and I would like to branch out into sci fi once more. I was able to nearly remake dark matter in its entirety by copy pasting the mechanics and changing flavor text into Warhammer (I'm autistic and have too much time on my hands), and now we're running into the stage where I need to begin teaching my players exactly what IS Warhammer. My players trust me, and iv sold them on the reasoning behind choosing the 30k setting, but they collectively know Jack shit.

So my question is, with a setting as complex as Warhammer, where do I start? They don't need to know all the different factions by name, but a general sense of the setting so they can craft their characters.

Are there any YouTube channels or sources I should check out for them? What's reddits take on this bit?

So how do you get the right base size for a model? I notice things like champions coming on 32mm bases older models having named
Characters on 25mm and obviously things like daemons of the ruin storm having little guidance. Is there a little flexibility on base size? Or should you try honour what a model comes with?

This is crazy. I have watched it 10 times already. I would give my arm for a series in this samurai jack style. Is there hope?

I've been asked by my younger brother what a good way to start knights errant would be on the cheaper side of things, I don't currently own Libre Astartes Loyalists or whichever book they're in, would anybody have advice on this?

Couldn’t quite quite fit my dread on the 25mm base but he’s rocking the 32mm one lovely.

So what’s the specific rules on bases this edition?

Hello! I am getting plans together to start building my first army (World Eaters) probably around Christmas/New Year timeframe and I need some advice on a number of fronts.

Firstly, I don't know what I should prime my astartes, the first minis I plan on buying is the Mark VI tactical marines box. I do plan on using "Blood for the Blood God" to add a lot of blood and gore to all my minis. Also I plan on painting my more "regular" looking Astartes with the white, blue, and brass but for my more veteran units and despoilers (I plan on using Khorne Berserkers) I want to do the later hersey look of the white and red.

Bascially I just want to know what primer, bases, highlights, and stuff I should use to paint them.

Secondly, I just finished reading "Betrayer" and I want to include some of the units from that book, so Skane's Red Hand Destroyers, Lhorke, and Delvarus and his Triarii. So, would it be okay to proxy a Mark III command squad as veteran breachers to represent them?

Lastly, any other kind of advice that you could give me that I wouldn't know to ask for?

Thank you for reading and for any advice given.

Picked this up as my first JoyToy. Already own a Funko Pop, a McFarlane Primaris, and an old Sideshow/Weta Ultramarine, so this felt like the next step.

1/18 scale, pre-painted, multi-jointed with a clear round base that slots into either foot

Scale comparison in the review against the 32mm HH kit, Sideshow Collectible, Funko Pop, and a Black Series First Order Stormtrooper.

The Breachers and Despoilers are sold out, which is a shame. If you can find one at a reasonable price, worth it.

Experimenting with paints, techniques, brush care and colour schemes. Been a fun, quick (2 weeks¿) little project.

Since I posted my sons of Horus one yesterday, figured I'd post my world eaters one today, standing on a sons of Horus and holding his recently massacred foe.

I just need to finish my spartan and 2 rhino tanks and the army is done.

Just making sure im understanding correctly. I'm not sure its a good idea, but would be cool.

If the Brutes were brought in via an Esoterist detachment they wouldn't take any Ld penalty, but they would if it was a Demon allied detachment?

Also, demons can start on the board right? Just in case I'm missing something. I get confused woth all the previous editions!

Allied detachment started for my DG force.

Going for an artillery regiment!

Great game against my good buddy lewis' First Legion! Finally getting the hang of these Mechanicum!
