It's a lot simpler to scratch-build your own dimanic poses on plastic than it is on resin.

The calth box contemptor is literally a monopose kit iirc. Forge world dreads are way easier to pose in an interesting way they any plastic dread I've built.

They sell all the non-named character models from those box sets separately now in the Space Marine section on the GW website. Though I'd pay for the Forge World Contemptor; the plastic one only comes with multi-melta and assault cannon options and doesn't have any dynamic movement or detail to the model.

I bought the resin Imperial Fists Contemptor and I like it way better than the plastic model. More poseability, weapon options, and it just looks cooler.

I can say the same about my Word Bearer Contemptors.

I have the telemon, both Custodes contemptors, the blood angels Levi and contemptor. In general the resin kits blow the plastic dreads out of the water.

1d4chan has summaries:


Storyline wise, 8th Edition advanced the storyline by ~250 years. Cadia fell, but the guard didn't. Abaddon turned out to be following some plan to destroy an Ancient Necron bandaid that was keeping Chaos from breaking into realspace. Once he did so, the entire fucking galaxy split in half. Everything is fucked. Everything.

In the middle of all this, the Primarchs are waking up. And the first thing Guilliman did when returning was unleash a bunch of Super Space Marines that double the entire Space Marine lineup and are completely out of place aesthetically in 40k, while the old Space Marines are all getting squatted. No other loyalist Primarchs have returned, although multiple Chaos ones have. Thanks ADB, very cool.

There was one campaign about securing a planet that is a pathway between the two sides of the giant fucking warp rift in the galaxy; another about how every faction and species in the galaxy is now becoming stupidly psychic because of the warp breaking through.

The Golden Throne is breaking, and there's no one left alive who can fix it because the Custodes never let the AdMech in to look at it. The Custodes recognize this as an oh shit tier problem and are hunting down Dark Mechanicum forge world for help.

Crunch wise, the biggest change is Command Points are no longer soup-friendly, which inadvertently made Custodes one of, if not the strongest, armies in the game. All is right in the Imperium.


9th edition steps back a bit because they realized they could set an entire Horus Heresy level of novels in the Indomitus Crusade. Rules wise, it's 8.5. The 8.0 codexes are still compatible. Timeline wise it's set around the same time as 8th edition. 9th edition changes command points to try and get rid of soup. It kinda works, but more importantly accidentally turned Custodes into the strongest army in the game. So, win win.

New game sizes. Combat Patrol (500 points), Incursion (1000), Strike Force (2000), Onslaught (3000). The new getting started boxes are "Combat Patrol" boxes, with the target being ~500 points. Imperial Knight players on suicide watch.

Plastic Sisters of Battle, because this was the compromise to the "we need Female Space Marines because the fans HATE THE IDEA and we want to fuck with them" sect. All told, the fans won that argument -- Sisters are fucking awesome. Sisters of Silence, too!

The not-main boxed set was called Indomitus, and was like 2 fuckhuge Space Marine and Necron armies at like a 70% discount. Just fucking retarded good value, even moreso if you can find it on discount -- Amazon has it for ~$170, or $30 off. Which is fucking tempting because you can almost definitely flip one half of it + the book for a good chunk of that.

Scalpers suck dick, but GW realized they can print-to-order these things and did so.

The big plot change was that while Grandpappy Smurf was running around, the Necrons are waking up because of the galaxy breaking in half. All of them, everywhere. And they're working on new anti-warp tech that just happens to completely destroy any souls that come near it. Not much has happened since then. The book team has gone back to the start of Indomitus.

The funniest thing to me was if people expected 40k veterans to complain over the emphasis on Sisters of Battle, they were gonna get sorely disappointed. Most 40k players in my experience thought the Sisters were getting a raw deal since like... 3rd edition, practically. Seeing them front-and-center for a change didn't bother me any.

The Sigmarxism types did, actually, think that getting plastic sisters was totally a pwn on the 40k community. That ended after a few days when the general reaction was "THANK FUCKING CHRIST WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR TWO DECADES."

They then went on to explain that Sisters of Battle are totally not an appropriate replacement for female space marines and that all the sisters of battle are CLEARLY white and GW needs to do better sweety

You cant win with these types. Stormcasts have female warriors and they still are not happy since now they want trans stormcasts since they think reforging makes people their "trueselves" its crazy. There is even a BL book where it confirms male stormcasts bang female ones in their off time too since of course that would happen I wonder if they got them riled up.

Just tell them that the Space Marines they've always dreamed of are the Emperor's Children.
If they object, call them transphobes for assuming the genders of Slaanesh's finest.
(I can't finish those sentences with a straight face).

Bad idea. One of the ways they've been trying to push for trannymarines is "There's no way the stunning and brave literal goddess of Transgenderism in 40k wouldn't make at least a few Transgender Emperor's Children!" If GW takes that bait, they'll switch to tone policing and accusations of trannyphobia.
 
Trannies in 40k? They've always been there.

You only need to pray to the proper gods and your wish will come true.
 
Took the liberty of testing out GW's army builder. It's.... Fine? It works well. Gets the job done. Not sure it's worth the asking price? Maybe if you care about having the rules updates immediately.

Wouldn't reforging as their true self mean that they would look like their self-identified sex? No worries about having the bone structure/physical features of their birth sex? Oh, wait, they would want Stormcast to look like that. Can't have an idealized self in a fantasy setting!

Oh you can, just not idealized selves in any way that we'd recognize. Remember, Healthy at Every Size, Down with Cis, MALE GAZE BAD, etc etc.

We actually already have that in the form of Nurgle Rotbringers and the Daughters of Khaine.

The entire point of the Mawtribes is that they're unrepentant fatties, and that's part of why people like them. They are the Healthy at Any Size ideal.
 
Mawtribes are the Imperial Knights equivalent in 40k, right? Giant fat Giants, high cost stupid-elite army? Or is that one of the others? AoS has too many factions heh.
