So has Verita become some kind of Khorne Terminator, or am I just interpreting the model as it is currently being constructed wrong? Nice work in progress, by the way. I really like the fluff, too.

She is not an Astartes, she is in fact the only non-Astartes ever to be granted the title of Warsmith (in my canon). In terms of the model design, she is rather like a mechanical version of the modern popular culture depiction of Arachne.

I could use some help deciding on a colour scheme - currently my main ideas are red/grey halved, red/black halved, red/white halved, red/yellow halved or even red/yellow-black chevron halved.
In case you cannot tell, I have already painted one half red

Red/grey would fit the theme, but look a bit dull on a grey base.
Red/black is already in use by a canon Loyalist chapter, but lots of schemes are.
Red/white would be a right faff, I still struggle with white.
Red/yellow might look too like Howling Griffons, and since they are Iron Warriors it might not be thematic.
Red/chevrons would fit Iron Warriors, but might look a bit messy if I cannot make it work.

Edit: I ended up going with red/black, though I may add some chevrons to the legs.

Saw that a while back im near certain, pretty good.

Oculus made 2 vids on the Dark Angels and not long after Horus Heresy Legions releases an expansion entirely based on the Dark Angels.

Neat.

Ordered some stuff to make a small diorama on a 5cmx5cm block for my brother as a christmas present. Its going to be this old 90s era guardsmen mini i found that is the last one from my brothers old guard army, so was gona do a little urban scene with him with some walls, sandbags and some extra bits lying around.

This is my first time trying to do something like this so its kind of exciting.

That sounds great! Dioramas are a lot of fun.

Painting the metal has been tricky, as most of my metallic paints seem to have congealed into uselessness

Thats really cool looking, good work so far.

I have one of those things from the warhammer conquest magazines, i dread trying to paint it.

Two new "Combat Patrol" boxes for space marines have been revealed:

Combat Patrol: Space Wolves:
x10 Intercessors
x6 Reivers
x1 Invictor Warsuit

Combat Patrol: DeathWatch:
x10 Intercessors
x3 Aggressors
x1 Lieutenant
x1 Apothecary


They also got their own codex supplements, some data cards, dice etc

There is a new citadel painting handle, a new imperial armour compendium, a new rogue doc for necromunda and some new black library stuff.

[Baltenstein]

Nice to see some codex-specific dice that aren't eye-hurting, illegible nonsense like the Salamander, Iron Hand and Imperial Fist ones.

White on light Grey isn't that great a color combo though.

You should hide a scared-to-death Guardsman or something like that under the rubble.

There are two crushed-to-death ones in there if that counts
It is hard to see as I have not finished painting the base, but the head of one and the foot of another are just inside the doorway. The front of the bunker (back of the model) has a bent autocannon sticking out.

Why are you picking on my boys, leave the guard alone they are doing their best.

Sorry, they were in a bunker facing Iron Warriors. It was as classic a blunder as going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

Funny thing. I've gained an appreciation for the Dark Angels legion but I do not care for the Lion. This is opposite of the White Scars where I've grown to really like Jaghatai Khan but do not care for the White Scars themselves.

The White Scars themselves are pretty forgettable in their 40k incarnation; it's a shame we can't field their neat Mongolian-themed FW characters outside of HH games

Because 40k has forgotten that legions and to a varying extent chapters have a culture.

Started reading the Imperial Infantryman's handbook. Got a copy recently, after like 10 years since I've seen one.

It's funnier than I remembered.

Made it to the second highest competitive tier in Horus Heresy Legions. Mars was awesome but now I begin my ascent to High Terra.

Did you manage to get one of those hilarious flawed editions where that little square that's supposed to stay unmarked actually isn't marked?

[Ameriganastan]

What I get from that picture is that the pictured Guardsman was such a yutz, he managed to get himself killed on some low-tech barbed wire.

Congratulations!

I still have my copy, I adore it.


I have finished my Halloween project, Warsmith Verita!



For those curious, she uses the rules of a Hellwright on Dark Abeyant. She holds a Soulburner Pistol and Infernal Axe, and her spider-body has prow Mechatendrils, a starboard Voidcutter, a port Flamer and a dorsal Warpfire Lance.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Thats awesome, well done.
