Heya! I'm a real big fan of old minis and have acquired and painted a bunch these last few years. Gonna be posting some old and new stuff i've done over time here.

This guy is from the citadel adventurers line from around 82-84. I honestly got this guy as a throw away from another lot but ended up really liking him.

Did this batch of old gobbos a bit back, I have a pile of them I need to finish but probably after summer ends lol. Expect more vintage lead in the future!


Dakka Daily Poll: What is your opinion on measuring distances in wargaming.

What is your opinion on measuring distances in wargaming.
Every measurement must be exactly perfect every time, if you move a space marine 6.01 inches in his movement phase you are cheating.
As exact as possible, the game will take a lot longer, but it will be worth it in the end.
Try to be exact, but don't sweat the little stuff, especially in the first turn or 2.
Measure exactly for the first guy in the unit, then just arrange the rest so they are in roughly the correct position around him.
Eyeball it.
Just put your guys where ever, we assume superhuman space marines can manipulate the space-time continuum.
To cut out all the boring tactical positioning stuff we just arrange our troops in melee at the start, no measurements needed.

Dakka Forum: What Do You Want From 4th Edition?


Posted: 2024-04-25 07:59:07
Forum post by StudentOfEtherium, 62 responses at time of this post.

it seems like we're reaching the end of 3rd edition, and 4th edition is on the horizon. with any edition turnovers, change is inevitable... so what do you think needs changing? are there any rules you want altered, or something taken out/added?

i think AOS is in a really good spot right now, so i don't have much to say on this topic, but i think it could be interesting to allow for characters attaching to units. 10th edition's implementation of the idea is a bit shaky, but if it's more of a WHFB/HH sort of thing, where characters don't rely on joining units for their abilities, it could add a little to the game

OK, I'm starting this blog to try and keep me motivated to finish my minis and terrain projects I have going. This will not be as big as my old Warseer blogs.
So, I pick up the Leviathan box yesterday and I'm starting by magnetizing the terminators. There isn't much difference between the new and old terminators arms.
This will allow me to put assault weapons and other options on them.

Dakka Forum: Dark Angels 10th Edition Tactics: The Lion Has Returned

Now that we have all the datasheets as well as the point values of all of the units available to Dark Angels, I think it's time to start a 10th edition tactics thread so we can go ahead and sunset the old 9th one. And as I'm very fond of doing, I thought I'd kick us off with a unit tier list. This is going to be fairly exhaustive, too, as I want to discuss every unit available to us, which means both the vanilla Space Marine units as well as the Dark Angels-specific stuff. The purpose of this is to stimulate some constructive discussion about our units and options; at the time of writing these are very much just hot takes, but maybe we can revisit this in future once we've gotten some games (and possibly tournaments) under our belts. This is gonna be a long one, so I'm going to spoiler tag each category: Characters, Units, and Vehicles. Here goes:

CHARACTERS

Azrael: S Tier: This guy is just about a must-take, and not too expensive for how much he brings. CP is a precious thing in 10th, and he gives more just for being there. Sustained Hits 1 is a great buff for a shooting or melee unit, particularly one with decent volume of attacks, and the 4++ he gives his unit is the cherry on top. Stick him with some Hellblasters and go melt stuff, he's awesome!

Belial: A Tier: Belial has become something of a character assassin, giving his unit Precision on critical hits in melee. Given that he can only lead Terminators, I might suggest sticking him with a Deathwing Command Squad or perhaps some Deathwing Knights (although those are probably a bit too expensive). If you were already planning on bringing a few Deathwing of some kind, he's a good add.

Sammael: B Tier: Sammy's good, and giving an already-fast unit like Black Knights or Outriders Advance & Charge is great, but I'm not entirely sure it's worth his price tag. Then again, mobility is usually king in 40k, so ...

Dakka Forum: Female custodes are now official

Shitty picture comes from the new Codex.

Personally, I like it. Not only it was never stated that Custodes were only male (even in old lore, unlike SM), but it further cements the fact that Space Marines are "only" mass produced soldiers (even though they are pretty formidable soldiers), a brutal tool, while the Custodes are considered the pinnacle of humanity (and now all humanity).
