Last 500 worlds will be a primarch, either a daemon primarch, a returning loyalist or a new model for guilliman

I don't like how some marines are on arbitrarily larger base sizes. Terminators and gravis on 40mm, sure, but then you have phobos eliminators and sword brethren on them as well when they're in every way standard 32mm little guys (the sword brother in a crusader squad is on 32mm).

I like tanks but I don't like parking lot list

Bless me mommy, for I have sinned

I spent last month assembling and priming 1,500 points of Eldar, and I also bought three Harlequin Combat Patrols.

So far, I have fully painted one (1) Wraithblade.

In my defense, all of my free time got fucked by a surgery and recovery, which was immediately followed by a family crisis I'm still dealing with. But the weight of my sin pulls at me. I have never had this many unpainted models before.

>>96940569
You'll be in this hobby for life, most probably. 300 hours over decades isn't that much

>>96940562
>The bases have just been getting bigger over time anyway.
My first armies had 20mm square and 25mm round bases. I don't miss how cramped and difficult to rank up those were. Sisters on 32mm is overkill. If they'd stop posing everything in super weird wide squatting stances we wouldn't have so many issues.

Standardised movement trays in 12th pls.

>>96940566
I'd really like a stormraven and the new falchion

>>96940559
I don't have any desire to collect marines but these guys are great imperial commander models. Maybe I will get some from a recaster or if I see them cheap at some point just for kitbashing or to use in agents/guard/inquisitor kitbash fodder.

The astropath in particular looks really cool to me.

>>96940559
I guess it's a necessary evil. I'm sure Robot will get a refresh before 11th is out. The paypiggies will cheer. GW will have more money for projects and armies I actually care about, like necromunda and IG

>>96940569
I spend a lot longer than that on even more basic looking marines. Probably ~10 30-45 minute sessions to cover all the main areas, plus batch painting time on the small details.

Not a fan of an ongoing narrative, but I like the models. I feel that the scope is simply too big, and that it goes again my version of what necromunda should be. Haven't played the campaigns yet, but they're on the horizon. It will probably take a year to finish a linked campaign. Seems like great fun.

I know its kind of hard if you are attached to your models, but nothing stops you from selling / trading your models for some admech stuff. There is a very healthy community of swapping and trading models, in person and online.

>>96940834
i find it kinda wild the dedicated mechanicus faction didn't have bog standard servitors for a decade and they only got them when kill team came in to fix it

>>96941082
They removed servitors from their army wholesale but marines were allowed to keep them for a little while longer. Funny part is that the ad mech servitors can't even take the usual wargear that they've had access to for a very long time but ah well. It's just a complete mess.

Breaking down what Titus is actually saying in the trailer:

>"He is a demigod out of time"
My Primarch is out of touch.
>"Fighting for a golden age that can never dawn again"
My Primarch is deluded.
>"The primarch reborn demands the impossible"
My Primarch is off his rocker.
>"But only in death does duty end"
I have no choice but to do what he says. Only death is a release from this farce.

What happened to Titus? His face in the trailer isn't that of resolve and determination. Just dismay and wariness.

Imagine having a major family business, and one day you come back from abroad and learn that the grandfather who's been comatose for longer than you've been alive has suddenly woken back up and taken charge of the business again.
He's completely out of touch with modern consumers and competition, is not fully aware of modern business practices, and nobody wants to talk about how he woke up since it involved genuine witchcraft.
And now he's taken charge of not just the family business, but numerous subsidiaries and contractors. This is all in the wake of an earthquake that heavily damaged the entire company's production assets, cutting all production in half.
He has now implemented a huge new hiring wave of interns, and is pushing to increase profits by several magnitudes even while being brought up to speed on several decades of developments.
Everyone knows Guilliman is crazy. Even Guilliman does.

>>96941155
Titus is just a realist.
Also, Guilliman is also a realist. Like there's the whole 10th edition trailer where Guilliman talks about "victory", when in reality he's just lamenting about how everything is fucked and that there isn't any sort of "victory" to be had.
Guilliman knows that both the Imperium and humanity are doomed.
Only thing Guilliman can do is to ride it out.

Titus is just "Man, I'm too fucking tired for this shit."

>>96941155

I think most of the people in this hobby are retarded if they think spacemarines are even the bulk of the man power of their own chapter.

Literally armies of surfs, voidmen, navigators, support and logistics crew make them possible.

A spacemarine is a military asset like a fighter pilot in the navy. You probably have at least 100 dudes to make sure they get where they need to be, have the appropriate resources and equipment and are fed the intelligence they need to actually be useful.

Pretty good considering I thought the narrative was getting away from us.
We seem to be pretty popular atm and the tides are coming back to us in the next couple of years as well.

My hopes:
-Destroyer line gets filled out with a lokust lord/lokust destroyer rework.
-Trazyn, Zandrekh and Obyron get new models and more prominent rules (Arankyr is a little too generic for it but he is also the only real triarch loyalist we know of)
-Deceiver gets a new model like Nightbringer
- Maybe a flayed lord or they extend the flayed one subfaction with elites/heavy support.

After which point its all just icing.

Guilliman can only spare 3 marines for Titus

More importantly, even if that was true somehow, keep in mind that the Imperium is so massive that if they lost a planet every DAY they would still survive for another 2,700 years

>>96941536
Yes, because its supported by thousands of regular human troops and logistics and maintenance crew.

>>96941536
Marines need to be 100k strong realistically speaking for them to be able to conquer as many worlds as they do if all it takes is a melta gun or krak missile to kill 1.

I dunno what it is but I think these look a bit meh.
Maybe it's the small heads + more slender bodies with thin waists.
I think the indomitus we got for 40k looks great as is.
Only thing I might do is to get some of these to use them for bits, like using the cataphracti shoulders and the loin cloths? on the indomitus armor to add some more detail.
Might even try combining the legs and hip plates with indomitus get more of a mixed armor look to make it seem like the terminators many millenia old and have been repaired by using other terminator suit parts.

Keep in mind they have superhuman reflexes.

Sure, a Crisis battlesuit should theoretically be able to take on a standard Space Marine just fine, or even multiple. But that doesn't take into account the marine's experience and reflexes, which would allow him to cut through dozens of battlesuits with ease.

Then who owns them? Because the Imperium is the indisputed most powerful faction of the setting, so if they have a million worlds, everyone else has to have much less. The Necrons might have as many worlds as the Imperium but they're divided and mostly asleep. The Tyranids don't really 'hold' worlds per se. The Orks might have as many worlds but they're even more divided than the Necrons and the Orks are a fucking joke even when they're united. Chaos might have gained some worlds but they're still mostly trapped in the Rift so they wouldn't have as many as the Imperium and they're also very divided. The Eldar have a pitiful amount of craftworlds, the Drukhari are stuck on Commorough, and the Tau have a laughable 300 worlds.

None of these factions are a threat to the Imperium.

Sure but consider: The Imperium launched the Great Crusade from only Earth. The Emperor had ONE planet to work with. The Tau had like, 75 and they still couldn't muster the kind of Crusade the Emperor did. Which just makes them all the more laughably weak for it. 75 worlds and they can't even manage to average taking 5,000 a year? Pathetic.

Terra was a post-apocalyptic hellhole drained of its oceans and covered in warlords. The Tau homeworld is mostly healthy in comparison.
