It's especially disappointing because the new (Indomitus) Terminator kits prove that GW can upscale old models while staying true to the original design (and even retain a degree of modularity while doing so), they just ... don't for some reason.
Got a care pack today. Me and my salamander bro store bits the other will find useful and mail them alongside anything else the other might want.
Looking great. I might need tops on how to do sores like that in the next month or two.
Questionable. It's been raining a lot, and RL issues mean my in door hobby time is severely impacted. I don't know if I mentioned it, but a recent post inspired me to stop fussing and get things done already. Everything needs something bought, but I'm thinking of just base coating what I can and calling it good enough to play.
The Space Wolves don't though. Due to reasons no doubt related to why there are no wolves on Fenris only Fenrisians are able to accept the Canis Helix.
I know, we are told that the blacks come from the tropics on the planet. But, as the other pointed out, you won't see whites from Chogoris, even though it's also an entire planet, and so it makes no sense that everyone looks the same.
"See, some five slaves from Africa were taken back, this means Scandinavia was always hyper diverse, you chud". As I said, the idea seems to be that only Europe was extremely diverse. Bagdad or Xi'an had their own share of slaves and foreign merchants, but no one would mind if a series taking place on either had only arabs and Chinese on screen, but a series about Hastings got a black spearman on the front, if you complain, they're gonna say "Rome brought blacks to Britain 600 years before so there were blacks in 1066"
Agreed, they’re ugly genetic garbage and I hate seeing them too.
"Dahkness, dahkness is here! Look, its my best bro Dahkness!" -
I guess that means there's plenty of pasty-faced white people in Nocturne's northern latitudes then, no? Fuck this gay Earth.
Calgar: Under the decree of Guilliman, by M.42, no niggers shall be added into the Ultramarines.
Wasnt one of the EC in Galaxy in Flames black?
Models during the 3rd ed, before the specifics of their mutation were given, show some white Salamanders. Now, the Black Dragons are white (the guys with the spikes on their hands)
And are also "unknown" lineage. Convenient lol
A voodoo-themed Chapter could be relatively interesting, it could even work as an evil counterpart for the Sallymanders, if only in background art as to not make miniatures for them... But that would be too much work for current day writers, and considered racist, as nigs can't be anything but perfect. Although it wouldn't be the first time someone tried to pass clear evil guys as good.
Voodoo’s nature as a syncretic faith could used to explore more esoteric sides of the Imperial faith.
He eventually becomes a useless side character that only makes the occasional quip that no one gives a shit about in the siege of terra books, because he's overtaken by Ollanius Persson in terms of shoehorned importance while they're busy running around playing John and Oll's Excellent Adventure.
Chairon and ACK!eran are literal nothing characters that nobody cared about. ACK!eran didnt even have a character, he was a fucking vending machine. Chairon had a touch of personality and the implication of being on Calth during Betrayer, but again who the fuck cares.
Sounds like a less grimdark version of the Mortifactors.
Yeah, but Ollanius is actually interesting unlike John.
I give literally no fucks about that Scotsman in Phobos armor getting acked off screen. Good riddance if it means Titus is back to where he should be as a Captain, although Chairon is regrettable. He was one of the good ones.
I liked Chairon because he’s the best of an unfortunately inescapable problem, black marines.
There's also the fact that anything other than generic European, generic American, and generic Japanese can easily get people mad if it falls into any negative stereotype. People already commented on Trench Crusade, basically making their muslins just about alchemy instead of any actual Islamic esoterism (which is like if they made a Jewish faction but it had zero shit from the Kabbalah)
