Dat's a lot wolf, boss. As a Space Wolf player, I'm pretty hype.

Also, the rest of the Imperial Navy vs Kroot box has been revealed.

My finished assault squad for kiwi's consideration.

May be obvious but I painted the first one and then changed some processes, that's why one of the helmets is a different yellow & his armor and has less wear and tear. Decided it wasn't worth going back over and trying to make him fit in, so he's just a squad rookie.
And yes I forgot some mold lines :oops:

Showcase if you have more pics of your army please.
 
So, WhatThe40K posted a 9th Edition Thematic List for the Alpha Legion:
Only a couple of changes from his 8th Edition List:
- Removed Dark Apostle
- Replaced the Bikes with Raptors for fast attack
- Added Chosen as an Elite unit.
Of course, this meant having to contour some of the retarded changes in 9th Edition (No Jump Pack Lord being notable).
I have ideas for these units to add to my current army.
 
I've played 8 games so far and only 1 made it to round 5, and that was an open play game where we were just fucking around.

No, they pretty much slammed the brakes on that so hard, they had to go back and rewrite the restored Girlyman books to crunch the timeline and make the Indomitus Crusade on going. They are now trying to push it as a 40k Horus Hersey on going series where nothing happens.

The implication is that learning about Inperium Secundus, as well as some chapters denying the Primaris will create a massive civil war, but it's a weak ass plotline that will never materialize and makes little narrative sense.

I'm pretty sure GW rewrote the timeline because no one knew where anyone was in the first place.
I mean does anyone have a rough idea where characters like Cain, Gaunt, Eisenhorn, etc. where supposed to be on the timeline before it got rewritten?
I think Cain was canonically scribbling his biography somewhere in m42. But fuck if anyone knows about the other two, they could be neck deep in the indomitus crusades for all I know.

All three of them actually have about as solid a timeline as you can get in 40K. The Eisenhorn books and their related series are set from the early 200s to the late 400s of the 41st Millennium, so he's either dead or incredibly old at the current point in the timeline. The Gaunt's Ghosts series takes place during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, which ran from the mid to late 700s.M41 and possibly into the early 800s (Abnett hasn't finished the series, so who knows how long it'll last), so again Gaunt is either really old or really dead by the Indomitus Crusade. Cain was active from the early 900s.M41 all the way up to the 13th Black Crusade and then is said to have died at some unspecified point in M42, after which Amberley started editing and releasing his memoirs, which he'd started working on a few years prior to the Black Crusade. None of that has been affected by the retcon, as far as I know, even with the line in the first Dark Imperium book where Guilliman is musing about how absolutely fucked the Imperial calendar is. Tbh, I'd like a Cain novel set during the Indomitus Crusade just to see how he'd react to stuff like the Great Rift and Guilliman's return.

I have a feeling that Eisenhorn books might get retconned depending on what Abnett does with the chaos custodes he dropped with out warning in the last book. If they don't get dealt with in the next one I highly doubt they won't try to tie it in to whatever girlyman is doing (maybe it'll be a decent chance to give Trajann something to do, I don't think anyone has made a standalone book for him)
 
Ran my Chaos Knights (one Abominant plus a few Karnivores and a slew of Brigands against my buddy's TSons this weekend. 1500 point ToW. Sadly, I wasn't aggressive enough in turns one and two and paid the price. Ultimately, be both lost about the same number of points in models, but that left me with too few bodies to score objectives.

Either way, it was fun - he was a bit demoralized when his Rhino full of Rubrics got shot off the table before it got to move and the survivors getting pasted right after, but lots of shitty save rolls doomed my melee mulchers.

Wait, Chaos Custodes?
 
Wait, Chaos Custodes?
Long story short, in the newest Bequin novel, Bequin is tracking down a mysterious figure known as the King in Yellow. He's tied to a Chaos group known as the Cognitae and apparently is trying to learn the Emperor's true name to gain power over him, so he's been poking around every repository of lost knowledge in the galaxy from Sortiarius to the Black Library. His shenanigans have managed to piss off six of the Traitor Legions and have gotten the Eldar riled up to the point where they have five Craftworlds dedicated to tracking him down. He has a personal army of cultists, cloned blanks, mutated Space Marines, and apparently a few Custodians as well. At the end of the book, Bequin and co. breach the King's personal pocket dimension and steal a book supposedly containing his true name: Constantin Valdor.

Of course, if the Yellow King really is Valdor, that raises about a million questions that will probably never be satisfactorily answered.

The big retcon with the 40k timeline is that now it was never accurate in the first place. Guilliman found out that the current year could be anywhere from 39,500 to 41,500. The Imperium has stagnated to the point where they can’t determine what year it is on Terra. Not to mention that the Great Rift has fucked up the flow of time itself. For instance, the Blood Angels appeared to received their Primaris reinforcements immediately after the Tyranids were defeated on Baal and the Great Rift appeared even though the Primaris were revealed on Terra after the Great Rift.

The current dating system is based upon when each planet perceived the opening of the Great Rift with dates before the Great Rift being ‘Previo’ and dates after the Great Rift being ‘Post’.
