Having a go at this, played the first dawn of war back in 2005 and that's as far as I ever got into 40k, fast forward to a couple weeks ago and the Boltgun game came across my YT feed and down the rabbit hole I went.

Indeed.

I'm going to pin the weapons mount to make them swappable. I happen to have some brass rod the right size, and the pivot point has no detail, so I don't need to worry about detailing the ends of the pins.






Pinning them makes them posable as far as elevating and depressing the weapons. I would like to make the shoulder joint rotate, if possible.

4yo was watching me work on the Titan last night. He told me he wants to play as the enemy. Showed him the Liber Hereticus, and he chose Word Bearers, because he wants to fight my Ultramarines. So now I gethave to build him a Heresy WB army.

A stupid move on their part if they want to sell product.

Changing everything around for the sake of meta-chasing tourney players is what has made everything suck in recent years.

GW won't let you use them in official GW tournaments (a lot of separate events ape those guidelines, too) and they won't continue points or FAQ support for them.  

They will give one last set of stats, and then that's it for support.

Best,
JBR

GW making people use only 40K models for 40K in official games.

Ok so it doesn't mean they're discontinuing the models. I need to pick up the HH dreadnoughts.

They included 40k models in it, too.

Examples: Kytan, Brass Scorpion, Termite Drill, Dreadclaw Drop Pod, Spartan Land Raider, Leviathan Dreadnought, Contemptor Dreadnought, Stormbird variants, etc.

No, they shouldn't be discontinued.

And for those asking about legends, that affects all non-tornament play...

Nobody likes to play unbalanced units unless it's narrative.

Just the blue on the uniforms and and the flesh. The top of the head is designed to fit without glue, and I pinned the head with 6mm brass rod, same as the weapon mounts, instead of gluing it. Otherwise the armor panels will make it hard to see.

I read the Rogal Dorn Primarch Novel and I have to say, a tiny bit disappointing. Was really hoping that it would give some insight into his childhood and relationship with the Emperor.   Not bad though.

I'm back to the Horus Hersey though reading through  Mechanicum right now.

The Cult of Mars is a nightmare horror movie level organization that the Emperor was clearly using until he could figure out how to eliminate that bunch of nut jobs.

Oh yeah, they're messed up. Weapons that kill the user as well, why by the Omnissiah, that's a great idea! Extra babies(yeah I know, they're vat-bred for it, but not originally)? No problem, we need some more cherub servitors.
Only AdMech stuff I like are the Titan Legios. And I ended up picking one that followed the Imperial Truth instead of the Cult Mechanicum, though that was more of a happy accident due to my choice of Calth Ultramarines for my Legion. Came down to Praesagius or Oberon, and I like the True Messangers colors better.

Speaking of Titans, ran out of black primer, and need more metallic paint, so I ordered a few cans of black primer, and a bunch of different Vallejo Metal Color paints. Until they get here, I'll be filling the few gaps, and making sure everything is good for the primer coat. And I'll be planning the color scheme using the Adeptus Titancus Warlord model. I have already decided to do checkerboard instead of stripes, but that's the only definite decision so far.

No way I'm at chapter strength. I actually have not bothered to count, but I imagine I have at least a company's worth.

Yup.

I live in San Antonio which has a pretty big 40K scene. I joined a Facebook group for one of the local stores and play matches with a dude I've met on there. My roommate and cousin that live down the street also play 40K and Kill Team.

Join a shops facebook group or discord and see who wants to play.
