GW washes are the best things ever and I feel bad for never getting them before.

The new ("new", I got my other GW paints in 2007) pots are really hard to open though.

[gufu]

Ah, so this is why we don't just assault Daemon Worlds.

Why are they dumb? Space Wolves aren't really the sort to use normal horses.

I thought a Tyrannofex was a Titan? Or atleast should be alot bigger than that one is.

Nah. The Tyrannofex is giant gun platform, but it's nowhere near the size of a titan.

most people bitch about ultramarines being pure basic

but if ultramarines weren't then it would be someone else, there has to be a standard line of marines and not just furfag marines or vampire marines with a mix of radical christain crusaders and emo robed secret lovers. Being normal is good because I don't like going out of my way like many 40k gamers/writers who want to have a special snowflake army thats super duper cool and dark and edgy with about a billion fucking flaws but thats okay because they did something Matt Ward related (like beating a hive fleet invasion with a space marine fart or something).

Space Romans are cool.

It hilarious that you spout how ultramarines are not matt ward like, when hes the guy that's been crafting their super mary sue bullshit adventures where a marine punches the Avatar of a GOD to death with one hit, for years, which is WHY no one likes them in the first but ten year old kids. The SwarmLord handing them their asses is the first defeat they've suffered in literally years of fluff.

Except for the bit where nearly their entire 1st company, their best, was annihilated in the Battle of Macragge. That was a pretty big deal.

Don't worry, it's an anthology. Multiple authors contribute, that person is the Editor, who arranges it in order and edits the work submitted.

Macragge

And yet they still miraculously won despite being outnumbered 1 to eleventy billion, and losing their bestest dudes, which has been par for the course for the Smurfs since ever.

Avatars exist to get killed in the most humiliating ways possible.

One-hit-KO'd by a single marine, possessed by a Slaaneshi demon, eaten by tyranids, etc

Bolt rounds are caseless right?

The standard bolts comprise the following components: outer casing, propellant base, main charge, mass reactive detonator cap, depleted deuterium core, diamantine tip.1 The calibre of the standard round .75 and it possesses a super-dense metallic core

According to the lexicanium and that's taken from a Dark Heresy rulebook.

[Géza!]

They are supposed to be caseless but ejected cases flying everywhere look so cool that every piece of art has it so... They are caseless and not-caseless at the same time.

I am an avatar a shard of a god itself ready to aid my eldar followers yet i can be owned by pretty much anything including modified humans. Eldar REALLY need to be brought back in lore as being actually powerful rather than cannon fodder in both sense of the word.

in other news I have discovered my regiments battle theme:

Each god's symbol is simple enough that you don't need a B/W one, also I friggin' hate the skewed undivided symbol. It's supposed to be symmetrical >:C

[Scar]

Uh..isn't it being asymmetric kinda the point, being chaotic and unpredictable?

I destroyed a Dreadnought with my bare hands.
It was leaning forward slightly because of the place it's been in my case, for some stupid reason I thought a little force would bend it back into position.

Also what's the best online alternative to GW in the UK for paints? I need to buy loads of new ones. And also for models too because it looks like I'm going to need a new Dreadnought.

Forgeworld makes some pretty awesome Death Korps of Krieg models.

Faceless minions can be scarier than ones with a face.

Also, it is presumably less difficult to paint a gasmask than it is to paint a face.

I take it that avatars are pretty much like Worf. Sure they're the toughest guy on the ship but they only exist to get their ass kicked to show how powerful the enemy is
