I thought arch was going to start deep throating Robotech or some shit?

Was rereading Praetorian of Dorn and it finally spurred me to get started painting the big man himself. Still deathly afraid of fucking something up but it's going well so far.

New paid STLs for Banana Boy Proxies. They're not horrible looking, a touch different than the custodes themselves. Haven't had a chance to print them yet, though. As a starting point they're certainly a nice start. I wonder if using the extra arms and weapons from the official kit would work with these torsos; I think I have an STL for a more traditional Custodes helm + a Shooty Custodies helm. And extra Custodes shoulderpads too just in case that's needed. (Looking forward to someone making a STL of the new Bladey Custodes HQ's helm, as I actually like it a lot.)

And a free bundle of other kit to make Aquilions. All stuff that was available elsewhere before now in a nice bundle.

And uh, apparently the way to get stuff past GW's censors? Post it in another language.

This is where decades' worth of ill-will that GW has sown begins to bite them back in the ass.
How about playing other games that aren’t Warhammer like Infinity or Conquest. Or do we still say it hurts GW that people still play Warhammer thus pushing their market share. I am not trying to say the models are bad but I am trying to understand how this will hurt GW in the end if Warhammer still gets pushed at the end of the day.

The original Dark Mechanicus was started by Kelbor-Hal, Fabricator-General at the time, after he cracked open some daemon-infested supertech Eps had locked away with the aid of Warp shit provided by Horus and he and all his followers got taken over by the powers of the Warp. Since then its become a catch-all term for any Techpriests (also known as Hereteks) who fuck around with shit that shouldn't be fucked with.
Fuck Kelbor-Hal and fuck Regulus too

It looks like you're off to a great start with Dorn!

I totally understand being anxious about screwing up something on what'll be a focus point in your army/collection.
I think stripped and repainted my Calgar three times because I thought it kept looking awful.
At a point I just said to myself "I'll fuck something up, but I know how to unfuck it when I do"

Hope you post the model when you're done!

The nice thing about Dorn is that his color scheme is so basic: gold, red, and a shitload more gold. It's not like trying to paint, say, Magnus or the Lion. I'm mainly worried about painting his head. Faces and eyes still aren't my strong suit.

I went and looked up the Lion for a comparison, and damn, I both love and hate his mini. Love it because its gorgeous, but hate it because of all the ridiculous shit he's got on him. Considering a hefty chunk of the official art has him dressed incredibly plainly for a Primarch I feel kinda insulted by it as a fan of his.
 
Im glad 3D printing is getting cheaper.
They would not put GW out of business, but stop them from getting mainstream success.
The game won’t achieve them mainstream success but the universe as a whole will. They’re whoring it out big time ready for that accession to normie bucks.
 
The video games have always been hit or miss. Space Marine was fairly decent, but it’s mostly a 40K version of Gears of War.

I liked Space Hulk Deathwing and Hired Gun, even if they‘re kinda rough. I’m willing to put up with some jank if the combat is good.

You mean God of War. Not that a 40k shooter game styled after Gears would be a bad thing, especially if we're playing a Spess Merhine, or even better, a Catachan. Gotta have those grunts and monosyllabic words for the true experience, you know. Could have it be set on Armageddon, have the player be one of the Ork Hunters.
