You're funny.

They're still bloody expensive even if you account for that. If GW just mass-produced minis and made them cheaper, they'd probably make more money anyway.

And lets not forget about the money from licensing.

Pretty sure GW already mass-produces minis, all the ridiculous prices is to pay for Tom Kirby's retirement to a private island in the Caribbean.

Fix'd

[Tagmatium]

BLARGH!

Must fall for the temptation to get a Vampire Counts army...

I have the money, I will have the free time and I have access to the army book to start planning said army.

I've told my room-mate to hit me over the head with this laptop if he sees me with a Word document open and the army book open.

[Totalise]

Well, I dislike the religious stuff, I just like the semi-feudal knightly order wibe the chapters currently give.

It really depends on the chapter, really.

I do like the look of the Black Templars - the worst aspects of the Crusading Orders, IN SPACE!

what do you mean "Worst" aspects of the crusading orders?

Im fairly sure MW is not at the top of GW's life advancement agenda.

That's not even close to the worst of his atrocities.

Also, yeah, haven't posted in this topic in awhile.

The fact that even their name shows that before Ward the Ultramarines were supposed to be the best of the space marine legions.

but even the best can't be Mary Sues, else it's crap no matter what.
i mean the BEST person the Imperiam has is currently sitting on a chair dieing, the high lords are nigh useless, IG is basically "DROWN THEM IN BODIES SO WE CAN WIN!", and no ultramarine should EVER fight a daemon better than a grey knight (what new codex?)

no Mat ward is fine but the guy that wrote space wolfs...[shuder]

Was tempted to work on some undead myself a while ago, but got far too carried away with goblins....

no matter how bad it can never be worse than grey knights killing bolter bitches for no reason.

I've had a soft spot for them for a while, ever since getting a Necromantic BloodBowl team.

But an army consisting of zombies and ghouls, led by a Strigoi would be well cool.

With some Black Knights, as I like the idea of Bronze Age warriors bursting from their tombs...

Thou shalt not refer to the Adepta Sororitas as "Bolter Bitches," nor shalt thou go anywhere near our sisters during the time of their "Red Rage," lest thou wishes to be the first human to enter orbit without the aid of a shuttle.

fuck you inquisitor Atelua, the machine god protects me!

[Imperia Eterna]

I kind of like all factions of Warhammer 40k. Sure, some of them were slightly soiled by Relic (one only needs to have a look at Soulstorm and its "SPESS MEHRENS" for confirmation), but I love them all.

It is of course possible that we at /tg, along with the narrator of Soulstorm himself and all of Boreale's foes, have been deceived by the cunning of the good captain. His strategy was not "Steel Rehn," the common and predictable edict of the Codex Astartes. Rather, capitalizing on the mastery of the Blood Ravens at the acquisition of all that stood before them, he implemented his own devious tactics: "Steal Rain." Having built up his force with marines gifted by other chapters and by the unwilling forces of chaos, he had amassed a force that made the five companies officially under his command a mere distraction force to occupy the foe's attention as they assaulted the Lands of Solitude, while boreale's mastery of deepstriking left the best thieves and looters, as well as himself, well behind enemy lines, where resistance was token, the loot and relics rich. But this was merely the beginning.

Carron did not lose the favor of chaos. In the din of battle, as he raved about the Rhinos spearheading into his territory, his screams of fury obscured the roar of a landing Thunderhawk. Within moments, the marines had torn the shrines from the earth and robbed the chaos marines of their might, adding the power to the ever-growing armada under Boreale's command.

The defeat of the Necrons upon Kaurava had come as marines pried loose the power supplies, and rank upon rank of warriors and war machines fell silent. The marines wasted no time in hauling them into a mass of inert metal and carried them, with the inexplicable stealth and speed so common to the magpie squads of the Blood Ravens, to be reprogrammed in service to the chapter.

The hundred Baneblades were not lost; rather, as the guard broke through the deep-striking marines in the supposed stronghold of the marine force, Boreale and a token force assaulted the enemy stronghold, felled what few guards stood over the depots, and signed the few requisition orders that would allow them to abscond with the guard's might. What had seemed to be Boreale, felled in battle, was in truth a brother-marine who had been "gifted" the guise of the captain.

Throughout the subsequent years of the Blood Ravens and the treachery of Azariah Kyras, none even guessed at this plan, assuming that the failure of "Boreale" was all that it seemed. Only one man, Apollo Diomedes, was cunning enough to piece together what had transpired, the final pieces falling into place as Kyras began the final steps to his ascension. It was not without reason that he feared the roar of each Baneblade he met, for he knew that they were the harbingers. Should subsector Aurelia have fallen, the hold of chaos would be momentary, wiped away by a more terrible foe whose hunger would not cease until every planet, every race, was unified, an undivided SPESS under Boreale's iron fist.

Borelae is really a genius, when the Imperium needs him most, his 100 BEHNBLEDES shall come out of hiding and blast away whatever is threatening the god emperor of mankind, while creeds simply states "DAMN!"

That tactically incompetent commander couldn't hide a Ratling behind a skyscraper. We all know Creed is the best, because tactical genius and dual hell pistols.

stubb's lost 100 baneblades.
ONE ZERO ZERO BANEBLADES!
how do you do that?
