Scroll up and read Nev talking about when he was painting RTB01 beakie marines. If you've been collecting them for that long, all sense of 'complete collections' must be gone: there is only the path

When is the 11th starter due to drop? Do we know anything about it? I might have to go and have a sneak in the previews subforum...

Your librarian headswap is very nice - I wouldn't have even realised had you not said.

It's expected in about a year, but no actual date has been given. The general concession is that 11th will be a soft reset, rules wise, as 10th had many changes. Although, space marines are in an odd position, as it is expect that all the First Born and possibly many older vehicles will be going to legends.

There was also some talk about going back to a 4 year cycle, do to their being more “core” games, but I suspect that may just be wishful thinking.

I was just thinking this morning about when did we start getting solid info on 10th? IIRC official news wasn’t until later, but I think we had more solid info before that. Where are the potato cam photos? I’d like to know what’s in the box before I finish my company. If we see a return of the Tactical as the core battleline unit, a lot will change.

Luckily I can spend time on secondary armies while I wait.

One problem with playing marines is that they release new stuff faster then I can collect and paint it. So every edition it’s “What does my collection need to function?” and “What new shiny models do I want?” Sometimes they morph into more solid goals, like “Time to get that second battle company done” Other times are smaller projects, like needing sarges equipped with something better then bolt pistols/chainswords. I add models to the collection, and pull units from it to make lists. There is no end. As long as I’m still enjoying myself. That said, once I finish the company, I suspect I’ll go more into a maintenance mode. Grinding out intercessors can get tiring.

Building the victrix guard a little on my morning break. The champ has 2 options for his left sword arm. Flipping ahead, the banner has the option for the same 2 parts. So if building both, the one you don’t use on one will need to be used on the other. Not gluing it on until I get the ancient to the same point so I can see who looks better with each.

Just a head’s up for other Ultras digging into the kit.

Edit:
Risked a prime in the garage for the reivers and last KT guy. Looks like it went on clean.
