No Orruks in the next WD.

New boxed game called "Imperial Knight: Renegade" instead (1 Imperial Knight, 1 IK Warden and 1 Sanctum Imperialis + rules)
165€ / £120 / $195 / and for once the real prices for all to see: CA$ 235 / AU$ 245 / NZ$ 290 / 22.000 Yen

So both a huge price but a huge discount at the same time, making it a pretty solid choice if you want 2 Knights. Too bad the large difference between the UK and Euro price will make us incapable of competing vs UK retailers.

Game is derived from the minigame they did in the WD around the Stormsurge release if I remember correctly, the one were each superheavy had its own datasheet, with damage locations and numbers everywhere. Game includes specific decals for each knight allowing you to decorate one of them as a renegade Knight. No Chaos specific sprues thought (those are the regular models already sold in stores).

Probably. I don't know the specifics, but I think it works better. I also thin that using the brush is better than squeezing it out of a bottle.

What do you guys think of loyalist chapters with traitor geneseed? I'm excercising the ancient 40k tradition of retcon on my diy chapter (they never really got anywhere). The plan is to have them be cursed founding successor of one of the traitor legions (yes, I know it's been done with the blood ravens). I'm having trouble deciding on the Legion and how the geneseed should affect the chapter though. I know I don't want World Eaters or Word Bearers. Sons of Horus would be cool but I'm not sure if the geneseed of Horus would've been tried even in the cursed founding. Opinions?

There were officially traitor factions in loyalist legions. No reason there couldn't be loyalist factions in traitor legions. Maybe there was a detachment lost in warp travel while Horus was scheming. Maybe there were some more loyal to the Emperor than to their primarch.
The Empire of Pretantia wrote:[...] TLDR; welcome to the internet. Bicker or GTFO.
"Why is self-control, autonomy, such a threat to authority? Because the person who controls himself, who is his own master, has no need for an authority to be his master. This, then, renders authority unemployed. What is he to do if he cannot control others? To be sure, he could mind his own business. But that is a fatuous answer, for those who are satisfied to mind their own business do not aspire to become authorities." ~ Thomas Szasz

Ah, I didn't meant they would be from the actual traitor legions but that their geneseed was. Cursed 21st founding had a lot of shady stuff such as geneseed manipulation, traitor geneseed usage, etc. going on.

Deciding what you want them to focus on should help you choose which legion their geneseed came from...

Deciding how it affects them could also be influenced by whether or not they know where their geneseed came from... Also, I'd expect at the least there would be a higher % of mutation and failures depending on the source of the geneseed.

Indeed. The knowing/unknowing decision is one of the big ones. On one hand it would be nice if atleast the chapter leadership knew, on the other hand, that would prevent the more mysterious implied legacy (as in they are traitor successors but it's not generally speaking known) which I think would go down easier with a lot of people than just saying they have traitor geneseed,
