This has to be how the “Firstborn” felt meeting the Primaris “reinforcements.”
You say that, yet the initial primaris reinforcements were from the 30k era. Guilliman has commented a couple of times in the lore so far about how the language and things have gotten.

Firstborn meeting primaris for the first time would have been more like kids today meeting some time traveling kids from the victorian era.
 
“Imma get my goon on tonight.”
The funniest thing about that was seeing 2 groups develop using “gooner” to describe themselves. One was the obvious gooner and the other was a very online group of gun guys that took internet business seriously and had shirts printed up saying they were gooners while unironically larping as militia. They’d include the same hashtag in their tweets so when you clicked it you’d either be porn or some chubby guy talking about how him and his pals don’t take too kindly to your internet racist jokes
 
I remember someone mentioned they could make a Kiwi shoulder pad, did they ever go through with that? I dug up my old space marine bits and want to make my own Kiwis Obscurum marine.

Edit: I ended up making a captain, I'll paint him up later this week.

I can do it real quick, just need a Kiwi Farms logo, black on white or black on clear.

It is, effectively, a mask -- so black and white or black and clear, and the non-black parts will be what it uses.

As for shoulderpads, there are lots of blanks on cults3d, i think. This, for example.

Nippers - is godhand worth it?

I have some Tamiya 123s and debating the upgrade to get finer cuts. Anyone here have some imput on nippers and what you use?

I have a cheaper God Hand. There are several versions. I haven't really had much use out of them. I have some very cheap ones that I use for most things. God Hands are mostly useful for gunpla where you're doing things with colored plastic and don't intend to paint.

I have God Hands because of gunpla building, and while they are 100% worth it for gunpla.. I don't think I'd recommend it for GW models. GW plastic is so soft that it doesn't suffer from the same stress mark issues as Bandai plastic.

There's cheaper brands out there that are 95% as good, and of course superior to the shit GW tries to sell.

Required for anything? Fuck no. Worth it? Depends. They can break if you treat them like shit(like cutting hugely thick parts of sprue using the tips). If you've already got the tamiya 123 nippers, those are perfectly fine(again in that 95% as good range). That being said, I've got god hand nippers(I've also used the dspiae and some others), and no I wouldn't trade them for anything else. Yes I'm painting so the stress marks in the plastic aren't a big deal, but thousands of points worth of models later(and they get used for other things as well) and having less cleanup to do over time adds up. It also helps to have someone in japan able to get them for you cheaper and not pay $60 in the US with the risk of getting a knock off, but that's beside the point.

Even if you're going to paint, less sanding and sometimes polishing some parts to make sure you're getting a better surface finish before priming does matter.
 
Now this shit, this is funny
https://www.cameo.com/midwinterminis I've never seen another 40k youtube channel so damned desperate that they promote a fucking cameo page. At least he's not too full of himself and only charges $15 a video to sing Happy Birthday or a Christmas song. That's a new level of pathetic for content creators trying to rely on the hobby for income. The craziest part is, for some fucking reason he's got 65 reviews praising this nonsense. Maybe it's just some weirdly parasocial fans that have latched onto him? I don't know.

Should we all club together and get him to record a message for us Farmers? How much for him to record a video spraying the entire contents of one of his unsold cans of Midwinter Ice directly into his mouth, ala the War Boys from Mad Max?

Probably not, but single blade nippers are really nice. Cut through plastic a lot easier.
I got the $20 Ruitool nippers and I like them a lot more than my other more general use double bladed ones.

mindwinterminis is a lolcow. he left his wife after she gave birth so he could start dating the girl he hired for his channel, hatty or whatever her slut name is. I've never liked the faggot and we shouldn't even entertain giving the peasant money. He made a video shitting all over historical war gaming crying about muh nazi symbols. He's just another weak numale faggot immoral redditor and he should be gassed like 99% of warhammer youtubers. he's an unskilled worm that rides on the back of the hobby community. what would this retard do if he didn't have youtube slop videos to make? he'd probably be working at grocery store.

Thanks for the tutorial!
 
On a reread, it’s really weird in the new Fulgrim novel that he “summons the legion” by sending out messengers…….. and not only that, Julius, Eidolon, Lucius and Fabius aren’t there.

Like the fucking Angron book made sure to show that their token waifu is still kicking but the cult legion with actual named characters who are still kicking, doesn’t have any. Lucius is the most egregious cause he’s got a mini to sell.

Would’ve been fun to see the three “champions” together again, the three EC champions have a loose “mind, body and soul” theme correlating to the legion and their specialty being one of the three major units, apothecary, swordsman and noise marine. That they all hate each other really sums up the legion, the mind wants nothing to do with them, the body lives for shits and giggles and the soul is still there trying in vain to hold it together.

Fabius is mostly persona non grata to the EC these days because he refuses to believe in Slaanesh and tends to screw them over somehow every time they go to him for help. Julius is a daemon prince now, so he's probably off doing his own thing. Eidolon not being there is weird, since he founded the Phoenix Conclave specifically because he was trying to reunite the Legion and awaiting Fulgrim's return, but who knows why they made that decision. It's definitely also weird that Lucius wasn't there, though.

Fabius still has ties, Lord of Excess specifically named a point of showing that the unusually large and untainted youngblood in the warband was payment from Fabius, so he still has contacts, paying a “little fish” like Xantine a full-blown Primaris mini-me Fulgrim, though he was quite dim. Fulgrim also doesn’t let his sons go, ever.

Lucius especially is the glaring omission, unless he has a novel of his own on the way.

Eidolon is weird because he definitely doesn’t have a model on the way and there’s one single appearance of him in 40k, so it’s not like there’s much to work around.

I just like the “legion reunions” because they’re such abject dumpster fires, like the end of the Night Lords trilogy, Fabius book 2, Lords of Silence, the third Word Bearers novel and even Ahriman book 1. Those guys hate each other so much, it’s never not funny.
