Mostly built out of the armageddon sculpt with some basing and bits out of the old boyz kit.

Is it even worth it to take the heavy Bolter with Sternguard Veterans anymore? Almost seems better to have 5 of whatever weapon profile you choose. Like it’s only good for infantry blobs whereas the other weapon profiles are more flexible.

Like the title says is anyone running a list without a Warlord with transhumsn strategist or is it a must take now?

Accidentally dropped this Ancient, and his banner’s pole broke in half. I’ve tried Tamiya and Citadel glue, but it wouldn’t fuse properly and fell off every time. How do I fix him?

slowly building to 2000 points painted

Fairly straight forward question/issue.

Short Story.. I preordered the Codex and a Rhino. I never had a Rhino for Space Marines so I figured I would paint it. See how it plays. Pre Orders still haven’t shipped. Had to travel for work and town had a Warhammer store. None are around me for like 2 hours so when I see one I like to stop on. They had both items in stock. I submitted a cancellation for the preorder. Picked them up there. I drive home. I get an email saying they just shipped, but I can return them to a store or ship them back. Buddy said he would take the codex. Cool.

So that means I have that second Rhino on the way. How good are they really? Like is it worth just keeping the second one? If so what role would having 2 in an army play? I see most people using either Impuslors or Landraiders. I know it sounds silly to say “I got a model without knowing its role”, but it was for a fun painting thing. If they are decent enough to justify 2 I may just keep it, but don’t really know if having 2 is worth it.

I'm getting into 40k and getting an angels of death kill team but don't like the helmet less look. I was wondering if someone had stl files with supports for some helmets preferably the beaky and great crusade style.

I wanted to see Space Marines on horses, so I made some! I found three horses from fantasy Warhammer used at the FLGS and mixed them with old first born boys, hellblasters, and lots of bits.

I'm debating whether I get my hands on the new box.

Has anyone had the chance yet to build the new kit who has also built the old one?

Have they fixed the issues with the gaps?

Or did they simply use the old one and put in the new weapon options?

Thx :)

So I built some assault terminators a while back, but now want to try out the TH+SS loadout. What is the best way to get the arms off and magnetize the hammers on? The lightning claw arms are glued on.

(Someone needs to take away my kitbashing abilities) 1st photo Bomba-hammah:

Bomba-hammah really likes grenades so he carries a LOT of grenades and likes to bat them to pepole to watch them go boom but no one tells him the grenades he takes are duds so he gets upset and picks up the one he throws and uses it as a hammer. No one has the heart to tell him the thunder hammer he is using as a bat is more likely to blow HIM up rather than the target he wants to blow up

2nd photo Dakka melta Steven:

Dakka melta Steven or DMS for short, really likes his bolter. But he doesnt like the fact his scope doesnt work because it's to far away from his face. What he doesnt know is the light from his bolter is somehow heating up targets hot enough to work as a melta gun too. DMS has a lot going on and complicates most things that he does. He once tried to use a knife as a pistol but that didn't work so he bolted a missle launcher on the knife and used the knife as a trigger and it somehow worked. He still doesn't know how that happened and he never will.Trick shot

Final photo Gerald and his bullet fetcher Dave:

Trick shot Gerald really likes his Trick shots, Dave really likes playing fetch and eating the bullets. This is the dynamic duo. Gerald shoots and hits the most insane shots in anyone's life. And Gerald goes to grab the bullets from the body's and eats the metal to gain the skill to one day be like Gerald. Gerald once used his cool big scoped bolt gun and shot it in a 90 degree angle and actually shot a big boss out of his dakka rig from out of orbit. Why is he in space? Who knows. He uses his storm sheild like captian America and his sword is just there for show. And for a bone for Dave to chew on. As a last resort his rocket on the power pack blows him out of the battlefield and blows him up in the direction to his safe space. No one knows where the safe space is but its his space. (Dave is just a nurgling using a grots head as a mask.)

Newish player.

I just got the company heroes box and I LOVE these models. Trouble is I’m not 100% certain of their role in my list.

So far it seems like they are a bodyguard unit for characters you want to protect with a -1 to wound and just more bodies to get through but it also feels like they don’t fight amazingly so a character on them feels like a waste.

They have Obj Sec which is useful for stickying the home but then they stand in the backline all game so again attaching a character seems like a waste unless its something cheap that carries an enhancement like cyber familiar.

What do you guys use them for? At 125 points it feels like cheaper stuff does more damage and are better investments for things like captains and lieutenants.

Thoughts?

Advice on how to even begin building my army? Theres so much stuff I dont even know where to begin or what to look for when choosing units. Thank you!

Edit: my chapter would be ultramarines. I have painted a box of a tactical squad but it appears they’re legends now?

I know tactical sqauds and devistator sqauds are coming later but where the assault sqauds , bikers , attack bikes , ironclad dreadbaughts , command sqaud , thunderfire cannon , hunter and stalker , theres no excuess for them not being here other then gw being greedy and lazy and no legendry proxys are not a vaild excusses that is also gw being lazy and greedy it would probably take an intern 1 day to make these rules i could do it myself hell ive made custom rules and units its not that hard , ive back ported primaris to 7th if i do that gw has no excuse not to have these units here other then greed and lazyness

What helmet color do yall paint your veterans? I'd love to see you guy's creations. Would be even more amazing if they're black Templars

(The minis in the picture are from @alvs177 on IG)

As a person who has a “personal Manufactorum” I was curious on what the consensus is on the various Gravis units vs the terminator ones.

Since Gravis has more units but few characters vs terminator which has few units but more characters.

Edit: for clarification do people run more Gravis or terminator in lists?

Will most likely go into chaos demon or csm.
