Absolutely NO ONE needs sensitivity readers. These freaks can 41% themselves.
I'm not arguing for sensitivity readers per say

But if you could force them to only cover Matt Wards contributions and if Graham McNeill wants to write another story in the same vein as Dead Sky Black Sun, That might be a good way to employ them and help encourage them on their stunning and brave journey to the nearest bridge.
 
Got my Leviathan (mostly) done.

Looks great, but doesn't look very tsons. Should add some script to it. Leviathans tens to be a little bland to loon at if you don't add to them. (It's why legion leviathans are popular)

Double post but fuck it. The legion transfer sheet might be of interest.

tbh I saw a bunch of those during my research and all of them were too heavily adorned with tsons iconography and bits to my liking. I prefer my 10,000 year old war machine to look almost exactly like it did at the burning of prospero except for the colors. Adding a bunch of lord of of change bits or other stuff is just lame to me. I almost added a script decal to the right side of the body but went against it because it would just be too busy.
 
Unrelated: I am re-reading my two Ciaphas Cain anthologies and remain with the opinion that they are really quite enjoyable. I keep meaning to read the Gaunts Ghosts series as well, which I've heard positive things about.
Are there any other Black Library books that are particularly worth reading?
Anything by Graham McNeil, Sandy Mitchell or Dan Abnett. Titanicus is a very fun read if you're interested in some AdMech and/or Titan shit.
huh. Never heard of the Imperial Guard going into a Space Hulk.
I believe it was an early expansion to the OG Space Hulk minis game.
I’m pretty sure Successor Chapters can differ in their arrangement.
I see someone here hasn't taken the Angelpill yet. "Successor Chapters". Bah, what a preposterous notion when we're talking about the Sons of the Lion.

The Squad is not OFFICIALLY done finally now they got their transfers.
In the old black books, a bronze shoulder was a tell that the marines were in service to Armillas Dynat. New sources seems to state that its better to just say "who knows?" when talking about. What is known about this band of legionaries, however, is that they have a tilt for perfection, in all things.

Speaking of which, are going to get Dynat?
 
It's hard to follow all the conversations since I'm so new to the game, but what advice do people have for building 500pt armies? I have enough models to cover 1000pts but my friends don't yet, and most resources I've found for building armies don't really cover games that small. I've heard that avoiding relics and wargear on your HQ is preferable because there's not enough models on the battlefield to benefit at that level.

I've come up with a few lists but have no idea how viable they are. I play Necrons and will mostly be playing against Thousand Sons, Orks, and Grey Knights.

HQ: Overlord with resurrection orb and voidscythe
Troops: 20x Necron Warriors w/ gauss reapers
Fast: 6x Scarab Swarm
HQ: Royal Warden w/ veil of darkness
Troops: 5x Immortals w/ tesla carbines
13x Necron Warrios w/ gauss reapoers
Fast: 3x Scarab Swarm
Heavy: Canoptek Doomstalker
HQ: Overlord w/ resurrection orb, voidscythe, and veil of darkness
Troops: 5x Immortals w/ tesla carbines
Elites: 3x Skorpekh Destroyers w/ 1x Canoptek Plasmacyte
10x Flayed Ones
Fast: 6x Scarab Swarms

Is there any point in using dedicated transports in combat patrols? Specifically the ghost ark?

Boards are small no need for dedicated transport.
basic missions still work the same, its still an objective game.
These lists are fine depending on the dynasty your using for each.
The doomstalker might piss your friends off because its gonna delete something every turn at such a small game but whatever.

Side note, iirc your locked to a patrol detachment at 500, keep that in mind. Also I know cp is hard to come by now, but if your taking the orb and a blob of warriors just upgrade it.

Not sure what you mean by upgrading.

We are playing with the patrol detachment which I think forces me to take fast attack units.

I don't own any of the balancing books but I have the datasheets and it seems like these lists would start with 3 CP. I'm still not exactly sure what costs me CP before the battle. I rely on battlescribe to get the lists correct.
 
This artice from goonhammer will certainly grind someone's gears.
Also it's highly recommended to not look at the comments section. Few people that have seen this article were tested cancer positive.
For the record, they're screening comments. No one who disagrees is allowed to post.


Also, in other news, the new contrast paints have a bundle.

$195 for all of them. Comes with a free mug that says "Paint water" on the side.

The entire set of the Armypainter Speedpaints are $99. (Although apparently the Speed Paints have an issue where painting over them will re-activate the paint, causing the pigment to bleed up into the newer layers.)

You can upgrade to orb into a relic orb
A patrol detachment requires 1 hq and 1 troops
The new warzone restricts the number of cp, but if you dont care about being up to date, then it doesnt matter (though it has all the juicy necron buffs)
lastly battlescribe makes a lot of mistakes, make sure to double check.
 
You’ll be better off dropping the cultists, poxwalkers for more plague marines. Same with the plagueburst crawler they took a bit of hit with the balance sheet with the -1 to hit now.
The poxwalkers might be able to do some work depending on the objectives, and if you use the strategems/abilities to get them back up; though it is weird that he has no plague marines.

Dana Howl used their speedpaint medium to solve the issue
