How's Leandros supposed to know that he's dealing with the Gary Stu MC?
He can always just invoke the Nuremberg Defense. If a battle-brother commits even the slightest indiscretion, it's his job as a chaplain to ensure that brother never hears the end of it.

The funniest thing about the Rembrancers is Malcador sending all these bright, mostly young (by Warhammer standards) and talented minds out into the galaxy to document and glamorize the greatest undertaking in mankind’s history.

Almost all of them got ripped apart, used as sex toys or assassinated, personally in the case of that one cunt whose bodyguard Horus thought was a real bro and didn’t like that he was so thoroughly enslaved.
That was incredibly based of Horus.

Wolf of ash and fire

It was cool for showing the backstory of the one guy who got iced in the beginning of Horus rising and making the emperor look more human. Sure big E can casually open up black holes but he almost got his ass handed to him by a beast orc and had to get saved by Horus. Lot of nice irony in this and it was funny to see the custodes get wrecked repeatedly and all die from falling. First time the emperor is shown with anything resembling grief for the carnage he's unleashed.

Yeah you can see just how short-sighted the emperor and co are by thinking it's a good idea to send these guys to angron. I wonder how long the ultramarines rembrancers lasted
Curze is the real one, doing it for the content.
That went a lot better then I expected in all honesty

Guilliman approved of them and their work, so they probably were just fine up until Calth. I'm willing to bet that a lot of the remembrancer contingent assigned to the Legion was killed there. Likewise, the Blood Angels' remembrancers were all fine until they got slapped in their collective faces with psychic Chaos voodoo at Signus.

I know the DG outright didn’t have any, they were outright calling their staff “helots” long before the Heresy. So I think the fuckups didn’t get any but it’s funnier to imagine they did.
That way Word Bearer ISIS beheadings would be canon.

Imagine being attached to the Iron Hands and seeing their personal habits, just seeing a legionary looking at his human face and perfect body and having a Lucius-level hatred of it.

Yeah, the sane legions were more approving. Especially if they had a culturefag primarch. It’s why what happened to the EC and SoH’s contingent all the more funny.
Rebellion?=Total journo death.
 
Vatborn and Trueborn of Commorragh rejoice, Dark elder are finally getting their codex.
New Lady Malys and Archon as well.View attachment 7884933

little disappointed it’s still not Vect, but maybe next edition. At least Malys doesn’t have manface like a lot of recent GW female miniatures.
Cool Malys model.
Much needed Archon update.
Battleforce good for those new to the faction and a combat patrol for those new to the Covens.

Yeah old box was better value, but this one isnpretty good considering (imo)

Nah, all the legions got them, it's just that a lot of them told them to fuck off or just sidelined them. Mortarion met a remembrancer right after he was integrated into the Imperium and told him to get lost, so one imagines he did the same when the official contingent showed up. Alpharius and Omegon probably did the same since it kinda defeats the purpose of being a black-ops legion if there are people around to write about it. Lotara Sarrin bitched about having them on the  Conqueror, so Angron kicked them all off the ship; if there were any left in the fleet after Istvaan, the World Eaters probably killed them. The Word Bearers had a contingent, one of which brought proof of them doing Chaos shit to their Custodes babysitters and provoked the fatal fight between the Bearers and the bananas. There's one short story that indicates that the Night Lords, Iron Warriors, Word Bearers, and Alphas turned whatever remembrancers they still had over to Horus after the Drop Site Massacre and they were all executed after that.

I noticed that with a lot of GW (and third party) minis. I assume it's just limitations of the format, but then I'll see Infinity and Kingdom Death and wonder why can no one else do that.
 
Starting a Inquisitor28 campaign with some of my gaming group tomorrow. We all have a tiny force to draw from throughout it, mine is an ultramarines demi-company. As far as our GM has told us we’re stopping a chaos incursion. May post pictures of my game tomorrow.
Looking forward to it, never played inquisitor before but heard good things. Should be fun, and a nice breakup from the games we’ve been doing.
How am I supposed to make the yellow/black stripes on Iron Warriors consistent and straight
View attachment 7886955
Masking tape. Tamiya sells it in different tiny sizes, like this one. Just choose the right size for the model in question and go at it.
It works best with airbrush in my experience, but brush can work too.

Asking for a friend haha
Remember: white, then yellow, then tape, then black. I recommend Averland Sunset.

Go slowly. One at a time.

ETA: if you don't have an airbrush and/or don't wanna fork over the shekels for one, daubers or foam brushes will also do the trick.

The most irritating part of doing light colors and hazard stripes is that you will get it to like 80% acceptable, then fuck it up trying to perfect it.
 
Cannot echo this enough. Unless you hate yourself, don’t try to do black then yellow. It’s not fun
I also will take lengths of tape and space out the parts that will be painted black, marking the edges of the lines with a pencil.

Lighter colors are a royal pain the ass because the flaws are more obvious and harder to correct.

For IW bodies, I recommend an Army Painter speedpaint called Enchanted Steel. Has that bluish-grey gunmetal look.

You know, fucked up though they are, the Iron Hands are the best 40k methodology to follow to motivate yourself to lift. That’s what I’ve come to after absorbing all their lore and books. They are morbidly depressed lifters, Fulgrim and Ferrus were a friendship between a bodybuilder and a powerlifter.

Pissed off at your own weakness? Lift, purge it
Pissed off at societal decay? Lift, prepare yourself
Pissed off at anything small like nerd shit? Lift, it’s irrelevant
Even thinking of looking at porn? That’s weakness. Lift

Like lasering off your own dick and putting a drill in its place is cool and all but the rest of their logic is pretty sound, especially that Kristos guy. Weakness is in fact, a choice and if you can’t help yourself, you deserve it.

And yet, they never found a way to reattach a human head. Or a primarch's head, for that matter.

Better off without him, 40k Iron Hands are more interesting than 30k ones, one of the few legions that are better in 40k than 30k.

Them all watching Terminator 2 and going, “I wish Arnold was our dad” is better than the endless “when will X come back,” they are a niche and bitter taste but when you “get” them, they’re great. Rauth is my nigga.
Plus my Salamander bro is excited and I have a former friend who’s Raven Guard so it fits.
