Luckily 40k has no good guys for the SJWs to latch onto. The Imperium they abhor, and they can't doll Chaos up enough to make them the good boys.

Orks are too manly, Eldar are too white and aryan, Tau are too "eeew icky anime and no tits!" , Tyranids aren't a good guy candidate either, as they don't let hormagaunts choose their sex. Necrons are also too colonial and superior.

Slaanesh was prophetically too on the nose for them.

They seem quite attached to gene stealer cults on twitter. That said the most overbearing lefties seem to go for AOS which is fine by me.
 
Found a small box under a shelf at the game store today. It was a "Space Marines Primaris Reivers" set of three dudes. The back of the box says 2017. It contains two regular dudes and a sergeant. They looked neat and I got them for five bucks.

Not sure what to do with them.
 
Paint them as Steel Confessors or Necropolis Hawks, any other cool pattern you like.
Just no more fucking ultramarines please.

Sell for $18.

Or buy some "plastic glue" plus a cool looking acrylic paint, a gunmetal acrylic paint and a size 1 round paintbrush and you're well on your way to a fulfilling hobby/destructive addiction.

Necropolis Hawks
Click to expand...
Oh, you mean Darren Latham's Mary Sue chapter with the dorky name and the autistically obsessive colour scheme?

Chapter Colours
The Necropolis Hawks wear blue-grey Mark X Power Armour. The Aquila or Imperialis on the chest is gold. The helm, backpack, pauldrons, pauldron insets and gauntlets are white.

The livery of the Necropolis Hawks is well chosen, for it enables them to blend into the ruined urban landscapes, cordite-scented smoke and dirt-smog typical of war in a dense cityscape.

The black squad specialty symbol -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command -- is displayed on the right shoulder pauldron, while the left shoulder pauldron proudly displays the Chapter's iconography.

A white Low Gothic numeral centred in the middle of the squad specialty symbol indicates squad number.

The squad specialty symbol is also displayed on the backpack for easier identification during urban combat.

The white Low Gothic numeral centred on the grey, left knee guard designates an individual battle-brother's assigned company.

The colour of the shoulder pauldron trim and top of the helm also designates company colour in accordance to the tenets of the Codex Astartes -- i.e. White (1st Company), Yellow (2nd Company), Red (3rd Company), etc.

Necropolis Hawk Veteran sergeants are designated instead by a red helm with a white vertical stripe centred upon it, while sergeants wear a solid red helm.

Lieutenants are designated by a white helm bisected by a large, vertical white stripe, with two smaller vertical red stripes to either side.

The top vent of the Necropolis Hawks' standard battle-brother is yellow, while the rest of the helm is white. The faceplate on all helms is white as well.

Nah, fuck off with that shit.

I'm very torn. On one hand, I'm about to nut because GW finally gave us Night Lords shit and it looks mostly good aside from the helmets but on the other hand, last month I bought the legionaries KT box and a bunch of 3rd party bits to fucking convert them to a Night Lords legionaries team.

Do both that way you can have a cool force.
 
The new Flesh Eater Courts minis are amazing. With the exception of most of the Bonereapers and the completely unwanted vampire centaur lady in Gravelords, undead miniatures in AOS have been absolutely stellar.
 
Thoughts on the Onslaught Swarm set for Tyranids and the Spearhead Force set for Space Marines?

Both look cool and just today sold out as I was checking them. Aftermarket is still about the same as MSRP. But not for long. Was thinking of th Onslaught Swarm plus a Exocrine to compliment the Leviathan set I already have.
 
Would definitely go for the onslaught swarm over the spearhead
I think centerpiece models are cool and the onslaught set gives you a good variety of good models
Spearhead is you paying $200 for 15 jump marines and a jump captain, while unfortunately also getting some outriders and an atv. If you want the outriders and atv then cool I guess, but I honestly think you'd save money just hunting for the jump marines individually

Yeah, get the Onslaught Swarm. The Spearhead box isn't that impressive, but the minis you get in the Onslaught box nicely complement the 'nid half of Leviathan.

Thanks for the info! Truthfully I mainly wanted the vehicles. Want to make a motor squad or something, even if they are shit.

But in my brain, a bunch of dudes on bikes seeem like they'd be useful.

From what I've been hearing, the Outriders are kinda trash this edition and they weren't that great before. If you were playing Blood Angels, White Scars, or Ravenwing, they might be worth taking, but otherwise I'd skip them.
