Conduct While Gaming
While rolling a die, do not say, “Anything but a 1!” unless you wish the die to come up as 1. Any other such attempts to anger the “Dice Gods” will result in the existential equivalent of continuously flipping a coin and having it come up heads every time (for reference, see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead). Your dice will be cursed to roll ones for everything other than morale checks, which will come up sixes.

ORK PLAYERS HAVE A LIMIT OF 1 SCREAMS OF WAAAAAAGH PER HOUR. violators will be forced to play tau.

Players with chimeras and las weapons shall pronounce chimera ki-mere-uh, not chim-ere-uh. Violators will be forced to play nothing but world eaters. Non-40k personnel must purchase and build a chimera.

Im leaning toward the gold since it is not a commonly seen scheme. I think it could use a few red details for some counter point

Where you suggest red? Shoulder pads? Helmet? I like both but I'm torn!

Neither. The Hawk Lords are Emperor's Children wannabes.

Thank you for sharing, I looked up the Celestial Lions and now I'm gonna paint up a marine in the colors from this awesome pic I found. I love the bright gold that's almost yellow, plus the teal. Dunno why they're sprouting chaos wings and killing each other in the picture though!

I like the red details on the eyes like in the pic, some people paint their bolter casings red too which is nice although it might draw too much attention from the power armor, I'm gonna try red skulls instead of white ones

Watch out for Ork snipers! The Hawk Lord looks better but a stronger bluer helm and shoulder pad would improve the Celestial Lion a lot and I like the chapter more.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

For the blue, see this Ultramarines tutorial:




For the gold, use this tutorial for the Custodes:

I'd personally go for the celestial lions, I don't know if it's just the way you painted the purple but it looks much better.

3000pts Blood Angels (4th Company) - 2000pts Skitarii (Voss Prime) - 2500pts Imperial Knights (Unnamed House) - 1000pts Imperial Guard (Household Retainers)

2000pts Free Peoples (Edlynd Fusiliers) - 2000pts Kharadron Overlords (Barak Zilfin) - 500pts Ironweld Arsenal (Edlynd Ironwork Federation) - 1000pts Duardin (Grongrok Powderheads)

Wargaming's no fun when you have a plan!
