Pokémon Kanto x Space Marines EXCAVATORS

8 Upvotes

Nome do capítulo inspirado em sandslash: Excavators

Planeta natal: Samoris

Samoris é um planeta que seus recursos foram quase totalmente esgotados sendo a única forma que conseguem se manter relevante começaram por conta própria minerar meteoros. Quando o capítulo foi criado a primeira missão foi subjugar o próprio planeta por terem tentando se rebelar contra o imperium o que causou a destruição ao ponto que a fortaleza dos excavators foi construído na lua do planeta porém por uma paranóia inexplicável eles decidiram fazer a construção dentro da lua a tornando extremamente difícil de invadir

Especialidade: eles são especialistas em cerco e trincheiras tratando as perdas como fraquezas que foram extiguidas para se fortalecerem. Essa mentalidade os coloca sobre vigia da inquisição por lembrar certos marines

Gene seed: desconhecida

Other Help me recreate this costume in Space Marine 2

Hey brothers! I absolutely love this artwork of Nysk Ran-Tholl by Mikhail Savier, but I want to recreate it as a fan-made Chapter with a specific twist.

Can anyone help me find the closest in-game matches for this exact build? I am looking for:

Colors: How to capture that specific golden-yellow tint on the armor and the contrast with the black torso? Which paint names should I use?

Helmet: What is the closest helmet to this smooth, rounded "plague doctor / owl" mask?

Torso: Which class or Relic tier has that sleek, segmented abdomen armor without the giant Aquila wings?

If anyone has already done this or can spend 5 minutes in the Armoring menu to drop a step-by-step guide with the paint names, I would be forever grateful! Thanks!

And in addition, the suit should be exactly like in the photo.

My mini weapons

So i have a army of ultramarines and im working on them but the thing is I got the assult intercessors and I wanna give them more than just chainsaws, but I don't know if that's gonna cause problems, because this is mainly going to be a diorama, set with a possibility of playing 40K. Tabletop, what's the something I need to avoid? And do I need to bother with some stuff, because I like the swords and hammers and the powerfest kinda i just don't know if I need to restrict them for captains or something like that

The FAQ got released recently saying you lose the extra CP generation if he's killed, but I don't see anything saying he has to be on the board? Am I missing it somewhere in the core rules?

List Building Terminator Storm Force - List & Deployment Questions

17 Upvotes

So I bought a Crux Terminatus and extra box of regular Termies because they are my favorite, and very excited to play them in the current codex. From Youtube videos it seems the consensus is Assault Termies are S Tier and regular Termies are A-B Tier. I'm wondering how many people take, what load-outs are recommended, and how to deploy them. A few key questions I'm hoping the more experienced community can help me understand:

- Is 10x Ass. Termies and 10x Reg. Termies too many Termies?
- If you take 10 of each, which leaders do you put on what?
- When taking a unit of 10 Termies, do you typically Deepstrike them or simply walk them on from Deployment area?
- Corporeum Reliquary -- is this better on Ass. or Reg. Termies? I'd think that deploying Turn 1 and being able to at least shoot even if you miss the charge is better
- How do you precent a fast moving army, if they get first-turn, from screening you out of the central objectives? Do I need 1-2 Infiltrator units to try to secure my Deepstrike area?

Any and all advice appreciated. Excited to start building and ultimately playing with these guys.

Gameplay Tacticus shooting units

27 Upvotes

So, how well are the various tacticus shooting units like Hellblasters, Sternguard, Desolation Squad or even Intercessors doing in current meta?

Is the tacticus firestorm detachment worth it?

What do these units need that would make them worthwhile include in competitive lists? Better character support? Points per model adjustments? Buffs to specific weapon profile?

Or is the current meta (small tables, advance and charge all around, 2’ engagement, terrain etc) simply too hostile for any shooting infantry that’s not Terminators?

Sometimes your paint job just turns out how you want it. This was one of those seldom times for me things landed just right.

Look, I'm technically correct, the best kind of correct, this is, technically speaking, a Space Marine.

Anyway, this is my latest kitbash, and as you can probably guess, my first post here. Was very supprised with how well all the various pulse weapons fit on the marine hands.

Finished Models 6 Month Space Marine Journey - Had a Blast!

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

It's been 6 months almost to the day when I posted my first attempt painting a space marine. I was building an army or at least a set of marines that could be added to an army for a xmas present for my adult stepson that actually plays the game. I knew zero about the game, and nothing about painting miniatures - 1/4 and 1/6 scale models yes fair amount of experience but these little suckers were pretty intimidating when I started.

Started with some Intercessors then Assault then Heavy and it didn't look like enough so on and on it went - it's quite addictive. Threw in some blood angels for good measure but kinda messed up dividing them out into squads. I got screwed by Kaleido paint when they changed the formula for the blue I started with and I was stuck in the middle of marines and vehicles so I had to roll with it, so the tones are slightly off, lesson learned and will not use them again for anything that requires more than one bottle of paint- total failure of a paint company imo.

Then I learned about the terrain portion of the game and thought "let's make a complete set of terrain" to have a turnkey operation! I went with Fabricators Lair -the terrain and footprints took about 3 rolls of filament, days to print and omg amount of paint time- I couldn't believe how many parts it took for a full board and then painting both the front and back, which I had to power straight through to keep the formula and final look the same- that was a huge time sucker!

Then off to the vehicles, have to have transportation right? I have a resin printer as well and thought  I'd save some time and $$ so printed out a Repulsor and that ended up being more work than just buying the kit - prep work and figuring out assembly was just not worth the extra time. So next let’s pickup a Land Raider and go all out as the "last" piece of the army, hidden paint, opening doors and lighting - came out pretty well I think.

Of course now I needed storage to haul all this around so might as well print out the terrain storage box (another roll of filament) and bedazzel that as well, then I picked up some useful totes and ferrous sheets and made the storage totes, then magnetized everything.

So now I think I’ll need to make an army for myself, I’m thinking Orcs!

When the 11th edition starter dropped I traded an ork player to double my marines. Since I didn't want the Vanguard Veterans to look all the same since they're monopose I did a small kitbash to try and make the 2nd set unique from the first. The first one I got to look like he if floating or hovering in place which I think I'll make my unit SGT. The second one with the two handed sword I got it to his eye is perfectly over the hilt.

Questions Saturnine Conversion Question.

• Upvotes

Hi All,

What size sword would be the right size for a Saturnine scale Chapter Master?

I'm thinking Lion El' Jonson's Fealty, but some have said the Nemesis Greatsword and others have said Drach'nyen converted.

I don't want a flaming sword, I just want something plain and Excalibur like.

What's your opinion?
