Even though it's rough compared to what others have done, I'm very proud about what I've accomplished with this.

What I did myself:

Staff is painted by me
Front armor is made by me
Backpack is made by me.

Rest of the stuff I cannot take credit for.

I have seen them use some laspistols, but what about strapping grenades on them? how fast are they ? Do they have limited operational range ? Are they cheap to produce ? What about a cherub ? How many krak grenades could it fit ? Just speculating.

“So,” Cyrion said to the silent, towering Terminators. “How are you?” Cyrion - The Jester. This was such a fun piece to paint. REDACTED and I chatted about the approach to this character - how to get across the sarcastic nature. How to show the underlying corruption without obvious markings. Can you see the hints?

Rules Intercessor sergeants and plasma pistols

Post image
142 Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone talk about this, but on the box and website for the new Intercessors GW have a sergeant with a plasma pistol and bolt rifle. In the codex, however, you can only swap the bolter for a plasma pistol, you can't take both at the same time.

One of these things is an oversight. Either the studio assumed it would be possible so built and photographed it, or the writers assumed it wouldn't be possible and so excluded it from the rules. The options haven't changed from 10th edition, so I'm inclined to believe it's the latter. Nothing in the instructions suggests you can't take a plasma pistol and bolt rifle.

Anyway, just a heads up for people building the new box.

I'm about halfway through the annual 'spare parts liberation day' and do far I reckon it's between-

-Leman Russ. There's a good 60% of a second tank still remaining.

-Hive Tyrant. This one is closer to 80% of a second model remaining

-Tempestus Scions. Why are there over 20 head options for a 5 man kit?

Any other contenders?

For a (narrative) tournament, I'd like to use this mini instead of the vanilla master of execution. Is that allowed in tournaments? I'll obviously kitbash it and paint it as a Night Lord.

Lore Plasma Gun question

Thumbnail

396 Upvotes

So basically, me and my friend were playing some Space marines 2, and we saw these big orbital defence cannons, which we assumed were plasma, then we got into a little argument about how they work.

Now I’m not exactly sure what his argument was, it was kind of unclear, it kept changing every now and then, but basically the gist of it was he was saying that while the gun was being charged and all blue (second image) (hasn’t fired yet), it would make the surrounding environment quote “super hot”.

I disagreed, as it’s fundamentally just a regular plasma gun, just bigger, and if that were the case, imperial guardsman and space marines wouldn’t be able to hold the guns, and I was talking about how the gun is probably made out of some form of heat resistant material, and that the air would only get moderately hot when expelling the heat, except for when it overheats.

I did some research, and apparently the guns are made of heat resistant materials, but also the gun uses some kind of electromagnetic fields to keep the heat contained or something.

Now neither if us are no experts on thermo dynamics, or plasma guns, so pretty much I just wanna know if when a big ‘ol plasma gun is charging, would the surrounding environment get “super hot”.

I wish Gamesworkshop would bring back Imperial Armour and Forgeworld. Who else misses it?

Something I really miss about the hobby is Imperial armour and forgeworld, it felt like a more adult 40k and was certainly more "real". I would love for it to be brought back in another forms including new kits and the painting style. Its great thatbthe heresy kits are being migrated over but I just for new campaign books and 40k models with that design language. Who else?

Image is one of my latest projects painted in the FW style
