Hi All
I get the Abaddon it’s really powerful and skilful and a great leader and general etc. And that the black legion is a home for any astartes that wants to rebel against their chapter or faction or the imperium. But Abaddon has an arms length relationship with the chaos gods and uses their power without committing to them like a good demon prince wannabe.
Where are the word bearers are the OG CSM. They started the heresy and go harder than anyone else on their worship of chaos. So why haven’t the chaos gods gone all in on them giving them the power to wreak havoc and go on their own black crusades type adventures.
Is it just the way GW wanted to focus on the black legion when CSM launched? Or is there a lore reason?

How do!
Fresh from yet another wibbling rant about the state of Chaos, I bring you this thread. And it’s dedicated to enabling a more background accurate representation of Chaos. But, and here’s the important bit, without changing the existing Codexes one bit. And it’s drawing on an old WHFB list selection method.
See, once upon a time, probably my favourite period of WHFB, Chaos broke the mould when it came to army selection. Rather than representing a formal army, this was intended to reflect a given Chaos force being comprised of smaller warbands, temporarily allied in pursuit of a common goal.
What you did was first pick, arm and pay for a Chaos Champion. Then, you had to purchase units of at least equal value. That was their bondsmen/warband. Then rinse and repeat until you’ve spent all your points.
So…why not allow a 40K Soup List on the same lines? Pick a Codex. Pick and pay for a Champion type, then spend at least that many points, from the same Codex, to provide them with Their Dudes. Then do it again and again, picking and choosing from the various Codexes on offer, until all your points are spent.
Oh there’s nothing stopping you picking from a single Codex with its usual restrictions. And Chaos Knights can be Dreadbladed in exactly as is.
Then? Points not withstanding of course, you can have a wild assortment of Chaos forces marching under a single banner.
Perhaps require that 25% be spent on your High Heedyin And Hims Dudes, to represent the chap currently wielding the most influence.
But let Chaos be Chaotic.

A warrior forged in divine fire, clad in ornate gold and carrying the Emperor’s wrath into battle. The flaming sword, the crackling power claw, and the sweeping crimson cape were all painted to capture the majesty and fury of a true champion. This model stands as a symbol of authority, faith, and unyielding strength.
We’ll be happy to hear your opinions! If you need a painting, basing, or assembling job on your miniatures, click here:
Thank you guys,

So i'm reading through The Chapters Due (Graham McNeill) and i noticed that on p.28 it states the following
“Ach, these lads? They aren’t first generation,” said Pasanius kicking a dismembered
corpse at Uriel’s feet, a warrior he didn’t remember killing. “They’re a founding from
way down the line. Copies of copies of copies. You don’t dilute Astartes blood for
thousands of years without seeing it become thin and weak.”
Uriel wanted to say that Pasanius was wrong, that the dead didn’t care whether they
were killed by inferior copies of the first Astartes or the genuine article.
And then in I am Slaughter it states...
Bloodlines and gene-seeds were gradually failing over time. The vigour had waned
So basically the question is, is there supposed to be a marked quality difference between ..... say, a generic Space Marine from a 1st Founding Chapter, or a generic Space Marine from, for example, the 24th founding.

Wherever I go, no matter who I talk to, I find a strong dislike of Marneus Calgar. Why is this?

Welcome all to the 134th round of the Dakka Painting challenge. For the unfamiliar, this is a friendly painting competition open to members of all skill levels and experience, whether your entry is your first or you thousand-and-first time painting miniatures. Each month, finished entries are collected into a thread where the community can vote on their favorite pieces, and those votes go towards an annual overall League that runs for 12 rounds.
This month the topic is: Irregular - All’s fair in war. Not everyone is going to engage in a standup fight on a field of battle. Irregulars could be militia, guerrillas, mercenaries, or partisans. They could be warriors who specialize in hit and run warfare. Alternatively, you could interpret “irregular” to refer to a camo pattern that breaks up the shape of the subject. Or anything that doesn’t fit into the normal mold.
- You may enter up to 5 MODELS as a SINGLE ENTRY, and are permitted one entry per member per month. If you enter multiple models, they should ideally be related in some way, such as part of the same squad, unit or scene if you are doing a diorama
- You may enter at any time during the month, up to the last minute. We do encourage people to enter early, as to be part of the community, but if you can’t start until the 11th hour, that’s OK.
- You MUST post a 'proof' picture of your entry in the thread of the state it was in before you started working on it; this must be either unassembled, unpainted, primed or coated a single colour. Entries that do not submit a valid Proof Picture will not be eligible for voting.
- After this, you may post WIP pictures in this thread and your own if you wish, and on completing the entry, you may post up to 6 final pictures IN THIS THREAD that will then be used for voting. Please note that pictures in a montage or collage picture will be considered individual images fo...
