but yee, if i do get that sisters vs tau box i will probs replace a lot of the heads cus i hate exposed skin and those new helmets look weird, but i'm def very interested in the new weapons

twilit cliff
#

Id get the box but im lowkey hoping theyre not all monopose

dusk hill
#

tau could highkey use a lot more variety in their KT weapons, rn it's sorta just railguns unless there's been a big shakeup

#

a couple of them look like they could be hella monpose, like the railgun dude, but otherwise hopefully not

#

it would be entirely unnecessary if they are

twilit cliff
#

Mhm

rose sluice
#

i'm not sure i get what you guys mean by monopose

tiny cairn
#

if it follows the trend its "mono pose" ish but there are options for all the different models

twilit cliff
#

I was actually thinking of picking up some tau this weekend when i go and get new paint

dusk hill
#

beyond that the sisters look, idk okay? the thing with them is idk what sort of vibe im meant to be getting from them

tiny cairn
#

Like for example the krieg guy has a crouched pose where you choose between sniper, regular guy, and demo expert

dusk hill
#

they look really plain to me

twilit cliff
#

Like its stupid but i like being able to mix and matches legs, torso, heads etc

crisp forge
dusk hill
#

nah that's not stupid, posability is a big thing

crisp forge
#

its nothing amazing

dusk hill
#

yee same

twilit cliff
#

I actually love it

dusk hill
#

I'm just happy there's new tau stuff

twilit cliff
#

They look like straight up nuns in the color scheme

dusk hill
#

it's def not as like, wow as the krieg vs orks box. that was like, really good

#

this is okay

rose sluice
#

sisters are supposed to be neophytes or something

twilit cliff
#

If i ever collect sisters ill paint rm that

rose sluice
#

like new unit

tiny cairn
#

I wonder if theyre gonna do another animation or if that was a 1 off

dusk hill
#

! ah

#

yeah that makes some amount of sense, they do look hella like recruits

#

hence plain

dusk hill
twilit cliff
#

This hypes me up waaay more than the dkok and orks box

#

I was happy to have another ig regiment but this is just neat

dusk hill
#

do we know what this is? i'm p sure the other odd carbine attachment is a grenade launcher but idk what's going on here

rose sluice
#

tau actually getting something tho

dusk hill
#

happy blueberry hours

crisp forge
#

I wont be surprised if the Darkstrider leak is true

#

would make sense with the release of these guys

dusk hill
#

yee given pathfinders

crisp forge
#

yeee

rose sluice
#

i feel like that whole leak is true

#

like

dusk hill
#

yeah given this came true that lends a lot of credence to the rest

rose sluice
#

the past rumour engine with the chaos thing

#

and then this

crisp forge
#

That and the big Black Templar teases

rose sluice
#

i'd still be abit skeptical till they show what the bt stuff actually is

#

but god damn i just want the custodes gsc box to be real

twilit cliff
#

Ratty mentioned they seem bigger

rose sluice
#

what do?

dusk hill
#

it's me

#

i am large

twilit cliff
#

Im not sure how it was for orks but is there some scalecreep going on?

dusk hill
#

i dont think i've noticed anything, everything was for scale in the last box

#

it's just the tau heads being oddly big

twilit cliff
#

Right

#

I still want to pick up some tau this weekend

dusk hill
#

kriegers obvs had bigger heads/arms than their forgeworld counterparts but that's just translating them to the GW artstyle

#

i've sworn to finish off my existing plastic before i get tau

#

progress is, slow

twilit cliff
#

Yh

#

Backlog big

#

Ive been spending the last few free evenings on like one model

crisp forge
#

tbh the most legit thing in the Leak™️ has to be this

#

the most GW thing to do so it has to be true

twilit cliff
#

Yh

#

in character

dusk hill
#

tbh that's just an ode to how massively outdated eldar are

twilit cliff
#

But yay eldar

dusk hill
#

updating the whole range is like

#

brobdingnagian

crisp forge
#

Yeah it would need a 9th edition necron treatment

#

which would be Too Much Effort™️ GW

dusk hill
#

honestly i feel necrons had less outdated stuff than eldar do rn

twilit cliff
#

Makes me wonder

dusk hill
#

like, what did necrons have to be updated? super old warriors, flayed ones, uh a few characters

twilit cliff
#

How much did sob change since before 9th?

#

Legit dont know

crisp forge
#

like, mini-wise?

twilit cliff
#

Mhm

crisp forge
#

oh man

#

A LOT

#

their entire range got an overhaul

twilit cliff
#

Since they came with the shiny new crons also

crisp forge
#

Yeee

#

they were one of the few factions that got ignored for years

twilit cliff
#

Oh yah

#

i love the one on the left

crisp forge
#

LMAO

#

YOU ARENT SUPPOSE TO

dusk hill
#

oh yeah sisters got like

twilit cliff
#

she looks like tina from bobs burgers

dusk hill
#

a full range overall

crisp forge
dusk hill
#

cus sisters pre uh 2019 i think were basically a none roster

#

they existed but they were all metal

#

they never got new releases

#

they were just left behind by GW lol

crisp forge
#

lmao yeah

#

then they realised

#

you know

twilit cliff
#

Hm

dusk hill
#

oh yeah ppl like sisters

crisp forge
#

we can make more money with good models

twilit cliff
#

Anyway shopping time

dusk hill
#

maybe we should make them an actual thing

#

cya!

crisp forge
#

Eldar can wait

dusk hill
#

enjoy consumerism

#

also unrelated but i honestly really appreciate how slow and chilled out the middle earth GW game is

#

like,, v few ppl play it, most of the models are hella old now, but it still gets very slow, ponderous but consistent new releases

#

it's very entish and i love it

rose sluice
#

i reeeeeeeeeeeeeally want the balrog model

dusk hill
#

i want the new treebeard ngl

rose sluice
#

but whenever i go to order it i don't bother

dusk hill
#

wow TIL the balrog is actually hella cheap

#

£37 pog

#

ig it's just not technically that big

rose sluice
#

i know

#

it's very decent price i feel

#

want the mouth of sauron aswell

#

but it's metal

dusk hill
#

ngl metal LOTR models are sorta charming imo

#

like

#

they're mostly like, simple armour and fabric. stuff that isn't hurt by being metal

#

and hey it gives them a nice weight

rose sluice
#

is there any extra steps in like, painting metal though?

dusk hill
#

but beyond that it's v easy to work with

#

big metal models exempted, they're nightmares

rose sluice
#

fair enough

#

15 50 for him on foot and on horse

hasty sorrel
#

usualy some soapy water and a toothbrush will do it

rose sluice
#

same as resin?

hasty sorrel
#

think so yeah, maybe a bit more annoying than resin

#

also the smaller bits of metal have a tendency to bend under pressure so be careful

rose sluice
#

roight

dusk hill
#

the stuff that bends is just as likely to snap under the same sort of pressure with diff materials anyways

#

is way trickier to fix if it does break tho

rose sluice
#

i want to make my resin model but it's alot of extra effort

#

plus i'm converting it so

hasty sorrel
#

assume people have already seen but here

#

SOB vs tau KT

rose sluice
#

did not

#

that'll be it confirmed then

#

the railrifle sniper model for the KT pathfinders

#

*This is an update to the existing T’au Pathfinder kit, which comes with a comprehensive upgrade sprue to add a great number of options to an already-flexible squad. There are new heads, weaponry, upgrades, and all the gadgets a high-tech team of incredibly skilled operators could need. *

#

New regular pathfinders too

#

@dusk hill feed my child

dusk hill
#

🥜

#

Wait so like, is it a whole pathfinder update in addition to a new sprue?

elfin yew
#

Seems so

#

I think it's actually

#

same as they did with cadian inf somewhat?

#

Old torsos but new heads and such

dusk hill
#

Yeah seems like it

dusk hill
#

Smthn about a few of the models having their carbines at ease adds a lot of variety

#

Have they released an article abt it yet?

edgy cipher

Enjoy that 10$ increase in price for your infantry

fack im prolly gonna buy some damn

tiny cairn
#

be ready to throw down 200 big ones

#

unless you find someone who isn't buying it for the tau models lmao

hasty sorrel
untold pier
#

well if its an upgrade sprue+ other paths

#

im assuming itll come out as the reg path box soon enough

#

like the cadian upgrade

tiny cairn
#

The ork/dkok are getting separate releases once the 'starter box' comes out. I think they could have taken a bit more liberty with the Tau models tbh

median pumice
hoary ermine
#

Those tau models are good tbh

hoary ermine
#

this is literally how they handle these kits

#

thats gonna be added to the normal pathfinder kit

#

GW already said on stream that they wanted to integrate upgrade kits into exisitng boxes

sour hill
#

The new Tau shit makes me wet AF

#

About time some Xenos get some love.

hoary ermine
#

Its either a new box

#

or its gonna be added to existing cumfinder

#

new heads, new arms, new weapons, new poses, new attachment components
I think this is gonna replace the old box

sour hill
#

Absolutely love it.

#

I want a Combat Patrol box.

#

With updated shit.

#

Alright. Waiting for rust paint and a light, bright purple to do my cod piece but otherwise this boy is about 90% done.

twilit cliff
#

Looks good

#

One thing i noticed on the gun is uh

#

You got the chain of bullets that hang out coloured

#

But not the bullets visible in the gun

#

Now a lot more details are visible too

#

Dont forget sbout the trinkets hanging from the horns of his powerpack

sour hill
#

Trinkets are getting hit with purple too.

#

For more colour pop.

#

And I don't think

#

Those are bullets in the gun.

#

But I may be dumb AF.

#

I thought it was just ridged design

#

I can easily make my brass colour and hit those.

#

Oh shit. Those are for SURE bullets.

#

Just looked at the box art.

#

Time to clean them up.

#

Man. That'll actually make the gun look was less shit.

#

LMFAO

#

And once the rust is here, basically a LOT of the metallic stuff is going to have reds and greens in the form of rust effect which will pop him a LOT

#

Alright. Hit it with the brass. Just waiting to dry and I'll very lightly earthshade it.

#

Good looking out. It looks way better. LMFAO

What's the local terrain like and how much mud did they have to smear on their uniforms for them to be passably stealthy?

Oh true. Big fire world. Perfectly hidden.

I mean just look at that broadside suit 😳

dusk hill
#

broadsides are a favourite of a lot of people, me included

#

absolutely the best battlesuit

#

breachers are also great

rose sluice
#

Still think crisis suits are best

lapis tundra
#

Tho the missile options make the broadside look like an xv8

rose sluice

Big gun on the broadside puts me off a bit

Never thought we would ever have the same taste on something ratty 🙏

as they should, they're carrying a heinously massive anti tank gun

dusk hill

The big big fucker is cool though

They literally painted gloss varnish on their latex suits

tau are cool just their writting is poor

dusk hill

as with every other 40k race 😔

#

IG gets by on account of sheer volume of writing

#

some of it has gotta be good

hasty sorrel
#

IG books have a lot compared to xeno but less than you'd expect when comparing to like SM

#

pretty sure a single chapter has more books than IG total

#

except maybe for the fact gaunts exists

dusk hill
#

probably oagf

#

there's so many marine books that it's ridiculous

#

it's a sea

#

IG is a small lake

#

xenos is a puddle

#

eldar is plausibly water vapour

hasty sorrel
#

genuinly think IG has a pretty decent bar for quality, but thats to be expected cause they are prob the easiest to write

#

its just normal humans dealing with fucked up shit

#

Don’t mind either

twilit cliff
#

i like both

#

but i dont know how to paint white

rose sluice
#

Use white paint

lapis tundra
#

Dont

#

(Not mine, i already threw mine away)

twilit cliff
lapis tundra
#

But yeah like ceramite white literally dries up weeks after you open it for the first time, its a terrible paint

twilit cliff
#

i dont inderstand the white paint tho

lapis tundra
#

Its kind of a meme by now

twilit cliff
#

maybe i have to rinse my mouth wth it first and spit it on the palette to get it to be smooth

rose sluice
#

Maybe

#

Just maybe

rare solstice
#

I actually need a white paint, any brands that have one that isn't shit?

rose sluice
#

Idk. I’ve yet to have a problem with corax white. It looks abit grey but dries white

#

Then again i’m rarely painting white so idk

hoary ermine
#

I want to make some tau dioramas tbh, a tau playing cards with her suit and a few guardsmen etc

hoary ermine
#

Then like, 3 layers with proper drying time

#

Also if im honest, after my destiny cosplay. Im making a firewarrior

#

And im breaking the wrists of anyone who tries to melee me

hoary ermine
#

Check heir hues

#

Pick one you like + a slightly lighter or darker tone to it

#

That way you can highlight or chip if you want

I had a hell of a time painting yellow, I keep my whites and yellows to a minimum but I just want one for a little highlighting/small bits and my citadel one died as they seem to. Thanks again though

Still sad now that CSM and SM are now as tall / tiny bit taller than custodes

Oh so now scale creep matters? /s

#

Jokes aside

#

I think the CSM height is pretty solid

#

lemme pull out an example

edgy cipher
#

They scaled it up to Primaris ik

#

I got some csm on me rn

verbal sapphire
#

nah they're about half a head shorter

#

pretty solid height for SM to me imo

edgy cipher
#

Yeah

shorter than custodes and a bit bigger than the 3rd edition marines

what are 40mm bases used for in astra militarum?

Went fossil hunting yesterday.

#

Got some new dope stones for the diorama.

twilit cliff
#

but did you find any fossils?

hasty sorrel
#

get any ammonites?

twilit cliff
#

and other big word rocks?

sour hill
#

Yep! I got a bunch of rocks that have fossils all lined in the .

#

Them

#

So it'll make the landscape look extra alien.

hasty sorrel
#

assuming you've taken them from somewhere that public fossil hunting is allowed?

#

cause i know some places get a bit antsy with taking stuff cause it stops complete finds from occuring

sour hill

Definitely do not go fossil hunting on protected grounds without a permit.

#

Even worse is buying base prints/designs.

"I got 100 32mm and I needed 40mm...."

edgy cipher
#

I 3d print them, there are real good designs out there

#

So I can even modify their size when needed

hasty sorrel

<@&735928989146939404> any chance we can get thank link pinned cause its useful for people?

Today, I'm bringing one of my coworkers onto the mini wargaming fold. I got them that paint and tool starter set, and didnt have any minis with it. So today we go to the store and grab them one. I'm gonna take em through and get him a unit that piques their interest

#

Heres hoping it goes well. I never introduced someone to mini painting before lmao

hoary ermine
#

monke

rose sluice
median pumice
#

Like that gw paint and tool set plus a unit of their choice should be good right?

elfin yew
#

Yeeees

rose sluice
#

yeah

elfin yew
#

Oh, you got a paint set?

#

Did u get primer for it too?

median pumice
#

I'll just tell em to get some super glue thays not 13 bucks at the gw store

#

Yeah that's the thing. Primer. Though I'm sure the paint set has a black that can be painted on if need be

hoary ermine
#

Primer is not needed

median pumice
#

I got some rattle cans but those alone ate pricey

hoary ermine
#

thats still one of the biggest lies you can be told

elfin yew
#

Technically but god manual applying the prime layer

median pumice
#

I think they can just paint em

rose sluice
#

i like to prime

hoary ermine
#

Base Coats are primers as well, primers are just aerosol propelled, or propanyl propelled, cans of pigment

median pumice
#

Gw paint and tool set and a unit of minis should be a good start then I think.

elfin yew
#

**PRIME!!

**
MEGATRON!

rose sluice
#

all after i watched a midwinter video where his the paint was peeling off the things he didn't prime

hoary ermine
#

Thats midwinter trying to show the ''correct'' way of painting

#

Yes, priming is better because the coat is sealed

median pumice
#

I spend enough on my own hobbies not to readily enable someone else and spend on their hobby too much too lmao

hoary ermine
#

but hand brush application is fine as well, you just have to varnish it

rose sluice
#

Much easier just getting a spray can and blasting the fucker for a little bit

For me anyways

median pumice
#

Same. I tried painting the primer... it's not fun for me. Maybe if I did it with an airbrush I'd save some cash but ehhhh rattlecans have that nice visceral clack clack

#

I've got some Vallejo grey primer that they might be able to use... but I still need it for some projects

rose sluice
#

Only gw can i got was death guard

#

Just so i knew it was the exact colour i want

hoary ermine
#

i get their blacks, but otherwise i just get grey or dark grey primers for easy transitions

median pumice
#

I got some old mini tamiya rattlecans. Maybe I can use those? They're predominantly metallics.

hoary ermine
#

their black is the only non-chunky black ive seen

#

which is a weird feat

median pumice
#

But I got a nice red in there

#

Ehh I can just tell my friend to buy a nice black primer from an auto store or something maybe

#

I like the Vallejo black? I had bad experiences with the old gw spray cans haha

#

The top if one just gummed up really bad

#

On a first test spray too

rose sluice
#

Mine has been fine

median pumice
#

This was years ago so in sure the new ones are great. But theres still the stigma from when I was still in my late teens spending a lot of money on a rattlecan and it being absolutely ruined on first try.

#

Sometimes old grudges stick

rose sluice
#

Might have changed something cause they were all out of stock for a good while

lapis tundra
#

Undercoat and varnish only make sense when you are going to touch the mini, some painters just paint the plastic

#

Might peel off but since you arent going to touch that mini anyways..

tiny cairn
#

It's a dangerous game, you could theoretically pull more detail by not having a primer layer but it's not worth it imo, even for displays because age alone can crack paint like that

I did the face.... not 100 percent happy with it. Also may need to redo the eyes with some touch up. And the face <_<

I may try and add a little very very faint red glaze? Give it some more life?

I'm gonna go over with a nice black and drybrush in grey to get the highlights, but man. What if the Big E survived the fight with Horus lmao

I still think its missing something.

The olive skin tone is alright, but it feels.... dull?

I think its missing something

Maybe if I finish off the hair...

question, what space marine kits work with the deathwatch upgrade spew, preferably with minimum effort

sour hill

Basically all the Primaris stuff works with only a little cutting/chipping at most.

#

I legit can't wait for the new Bloodbowl stuff to make Khorne berserkers. Those models are fantastic.

compact umbra
#

Oh sick, thanks

sour hill
#

Fantastic kitbash material.

#

@compact umbra For sure. The worst ones are the Eliminators.

#

Otherwise everything only needs at most a very small scoop of plastic off the shoulder to properly fit the backpack.

compact umbra

Oh ok, thanks! thats exactly what i needed.

Alright. Last spam of this. I think I'm okay with this. Though now part of me wants to give him glowy psyker eyes. The other part of me wants to just do the eye dot and be done with it lmao

Custodes, any advices about list building or even painting tips ?

#

Just printed a custodes KT (so like 2 custodes)

we're getting some AdTi levels of 3d print lines lul

crisp forge
#

I never got this

#

Is the joke that GW 3D prints stuff? lul

shell yacht
#

Mmmmm

vivid rune
median pumice
#

The best thing about Custodes, is that you wont have a lot of minis to collect.

#

As like... 20-25 models is gonna be your jam.

#

Jetbikes are the current big bad beatstick

edgy cipher
#

The bikes are big tho, gotta print them one by one and in two times

median pumice
#

For good reasons

#

Yeaaaah

edgy cipher
#

Yeah I've heard about the the big daddy on jetbike

median pumice
#

If you want to go that route. Custodes Shield captain on a jetbike. With the right stuff they're unbeatable

edgy cipher
#

With a 3+ invul that he can reroll once per turn

median pumice
#

Well not unbeatable

edgy cipher
#

Well its still one of the tankiest unit in the game

median pumice
#

But easily able to tank an army's shooting for a turn or so

#

Yeep

#

You can also do the Custodes Shield bolter combo

edgy cipher
#

Best part from what I gather about the bikes is the ability to charge over fodder rtoups and directly into buffing characters and HQs

median pumice
#

2 units of Shield Custodes, with one with a guardian spear

#

Or if you're feeling really dirty, the melta spear

#

Yeep

edgy cipher
#

So only 1 guy with a spear ? I didn't expect custo to be that melee focused

median pumice
#

Its not so much melee focused, its about surviving long enough to get into melee where you excel

#

And getting that spear guardsmen to shoot at high value targets and when they're in range the shield bros can shoot too

#

but thats kinda a general tip?

#

Like.... right now I'm putting together this list

edgy cipher
#

The shield boys have shooting aswell ? mastecrafted boltpistols ?

#

i'll just pull the wahapedia sheets don't bother fren

median pumice
#

1 x 5 man squad of Custodes Guard with shields.
2 x 3 man squads of Sagitarum guard
1 xShield captain on a jetbike
1 x 5 Jetbikes
1 x 3 man squads of Venatori Custodes jump packs
2 x Achillus Dreadnoughts
1 x Telemon Dreadnought
1 x Grav tank, I forgot what its called for back field and AT support

#

That should be around 2k points.... I think. The thing is to know you're outnumbered, so I try and give my opponent facing down a LOT of distraction carnifexes

edgy cipher
#

Thats alot of dreads

#

Sagitarum are the shooty ones correct ?

median pumice
#

Its a fun list for the most part.

Custodes with shields march up and tank shots, Saggitarum guard for holding objectives or getting stuck in with misericordia, shiledcaptan and jetbikes to shoot up hordes, or make charges. Venatori to jump in and take out High Value Targets, Achillus dreads to soften up tanks then take them in Melee. Telemon dread to just lay down fire on hordes, or charge things that look scary. Grav tank for shooty Anti tank (Which we are SEVERELY lacking)

#

At least thats the plan

edgy cipher
#

Great advices

#

Too bad the dreads are a pain to print lmao

median pumice
#

The thing with custodes, you'll feel every single loss. So your big units? The big old unit of shield guard, and the tank? Those are your distraction carnifexes on table top. If you want, you can deploy them on the table top, but having the dreads teleport in or the Ventatari jumping in? Thats a surprise there

#

Plus with pistols and bucklers, while they lose their character killing power, they're good for taking on marine equivalents, and maaaybe terminator equivalents on a good day.

edgy cipher
#

I guess its moreso depending what you're fighting

hasty sorrel
#

sorry to interrupt just posting this before i sleep

edgy cipher
#

Well I know the venatori are going to be a pain to find but I like that list

#

Also go to sleep Skelly its 3am

I've got two units of 3 Venatori that I probably paid way too much for, but I think I wanna try and magnetize them. One day.

tiny cairn
edgy cipher
#

I'll look if I cannot replace the venatori by something else

median pumice
#

If anything, think about if you can squeeze in Terminators.

#

Unleash the lions splits the one unit of terminators into its individual components. So you now technically have three units you can move around that are still all objective secure

#

Also, they have automatic grenade launchers

edgy cipher
#

Allarus terminators right ?

median pumice
#

Yep! Mostly because the forge world custodes are... ehhh, and I have enough resin to deal with. Plus, grenade launchers

edgy cipher
#

Oh no, its because the venatori stls got gotted

#

And its legit the only unit I have missing in my files

#

So 3 venatari is 165 pts, meanwhile 2 allarus is 140

median pumice

Ahh gotcha

this is what's keeping me away from SM

the firstborn have all the variation and i love them

but i feel like theyre no longer going to get the love primaris are getting

#

on the other hand helbrecht is the first primaris model i really like

#

also i like the new unhelmeted heads

#

the haircuts have got that medieval vibe, but the heads are probably too big to be used on anything that isnt either a space marine or big

lapis tundra
#

Yeah 100% agree

#

We didnt get a firstborn release in ages and i highly doubt we ever will, even tho gw said primaris arent going to replace firstborn. Its obvious that they do replace them

twilit cliff

if i had my way and built a sm army, i'd rather stick with firstborn bc they have so many combinations and posibilities

was this new necromunda thing posted here yet?

#

i think it's neat

#

and i also really like the new gangers, they look pretty understated which i think is a nice change

#

but are they supposed to be their own new gang?

#

it says: Over the last couple of years, we’ve delved even deeper than ever before into the dark corners of Necromunda with new books for the six Gang Houses.*

Now it’s time to meet the waifs and strays from outside of the House system. These are the dregs from the wrong end of town, and they’re perfect if you’ve ever dreamed of commanding a gang of outlaws and mercenaries.

hasty sorrel
#

ye they are a gang of nobodies

#

unconnected to the main necromunda houses

#

its pretty great

twilit cliff
#

they look very cool

#

i love the one on the left

most of these seem to take some armor pieces from the gsc, but the one on theleft has plenty of new things

hasty sorrel

that cause GSC dont have their own armour its just civilian gear

twilit cliff

but i dont get the phrasing

#

are they supposed to be their own named gang?

hasty sorrel
#

think so yeah

twilit cliff
#

uhu

#

weird they dont give us a name

#

then again i guess the other gangs are just named after the house theyre attached to and dont have a proper gang name either

like east hive crips or something

Whatever they are, i like seeing just unaffiliated regular humie minis

Or walked in being a giant roided up gorillaperson

literally just nobodies with guns KEK

"I wanna join a gang, but I still work a 9-5 under hive job at the shop"

they dont look lame honestly i think they are my fav

no funky high tier shit

They do seem like the whole "low tier gangers" models that you could use to like fill in for cannon fodder or points

They arent too bad. Just look a bit square for my taste

i think the ultimate goal of primaris is to do what they've done with the templars with all the other chapters

make them just visually different enough to fit their respective chapters, but still be primaris
