Lexington Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Was a decision made on the ability to paint Cultists and post the pictures to the B&C. Don't know that it's been specifically declared or not, but I imagine Cultists will be covered under the same clause that allows GK players to post photos of Henchmen and the like.

Brother Nihm Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I skipped getting Dark Vengeance Now this is the most intriguing post in the thread, what's the reason?As much as I love the Chaos Lord and Hellbrute sculpts I got a tip early that the minis would be bigger than the current line. Turns out they are.So I'll wait and see what the new line of minis will be like, then, I might purchase myself some CSM. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 they are noticeably bigger, ive put some on resin bases and they overhang more than normal marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dizzy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Got two boxes worth of chaos in the pipeline now. Need to figure out how to convert the other hellbrute to make it distinct enough. One of the chosen champions will become a Dark Apostole in the service of Black Legion. What I did was saw off the arms, pose them at different angles, and convert the gun into an autocannon.

Also aesthetically they're miles away from the current range. Fingers crossed they're a sign of things to come, and not just some shelf sitting eye candy.

Excessus Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for the comments, but is it just me and Brother Nathan that has gotten their sets? Question for Brother Nihm with the glowy eyes, is it ok to post cultists now or do we have to wait for the actual codex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Shepard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The Alpha Legion MO has always been superior logistics and communications, since it's required for their specialized style of warfare(hit the enemy from all possible angles +1) and their infiltrating operations. The Alpha Legion also have another thing that I like, they(even above other astartes) value all the legionnaires own initiative. Look at Serpent Beneath for instance, a normal squad(albeit a really good one) takes part in the planning of an operation because their input is valued highly. I always found Alpha Legion very interesting for the same reasons. They seem to be the 40K organization whose military doctrines are more similar to current warfare. Infiltration, Special/Black Operations etc. Beside it's nice to see they adapt their doctrines to the field's necessities and not vice versa, like we are used to see in many other 40k organizations. Was a decision made on the ability to paint Cultists and post the pictures to the B&C. Don't know that it's been specifically declared or not, but I imagine Cultists will be covered under the same clause that allows GK players to post photos of Henchmen and the like. I think you are right. It's clear enough, in my opinion. The restriction applies only to allies. If we extend it to models that no wear PA then we souldn't talk/post images on GK henchmen (and there are many topics on them in the GK sub forum), Techmarine Servitors and even scouts (since they don't wear power armour). It would make no sense and I strongly believe we can talk about Cultists and post their images. Anyway if a Mod will confirm it, I'll appreciate it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr Shepard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Please stand by for the upcoming announcement on Cultists. Understood. Anyway does it mean we are not allowed to talk about them right now? I really hope you will allow their discussion when the "upcoming announcement" is released. Cultists seem to be a very important part of Chaos armies and I hope we'll be able to include them in our discussions. Thanks for the info, Nihm.

Lexington Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Say, are the Dark Angels minis larger as well, or is it just the Chaos Marines? Definitely beefier, but I'm not sure they're taller in the same way. The Chosen and Chaos Lord are as tall as some of the Chaos Marines I've used Dan the Daemon's "biggerizing" technique on. Apparently, one eats one's Wheaties in the Warp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the power armor focus and all ... but aren't cultist basically in the same boat as SM scouts? As in, they are part of a power armored army but do not themselves have power armor.

Jacinda Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Looking neat, not gonna lie.But, got a quick question, are the chosen in multiple parts ? yes. There are some pictures of them on the sprue floating around and GW has some shots of some of them clipped and ready for assembly. [eta link for the google impaired :) ] Scroll through the pics about halfway down this post. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog...pid=3700064-gws What really struck me about the Chosen is how you assemble the models, as on the sprue their components don't quite come as you'd expect them to. The Chosen warrior with the lightning claws, for example, comes in three parts - the front of his body (including the front of the lightning claws), the back of his torso (including the backs of the lightning claws) and his backpack. It's very odd to look at on the sprue, but the parts fit together immensely well and provide utterly seamless joints between the components. You'd be hard-pressed to find the joins between them if you didn't know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. That was exactly my point and I even mentioned SM scouts (see my previous post, #35 B) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 some of the models will be easy to convert, such as the fist model, whilst others will be quite difficult such as the claws, and i reccomend dry fitting parts and being very careful when cutting them off the sprue as it is very easy to cut off smethig that looks like scrap until you test fit it and discover that was the top of a models head for example... anyway update from me... http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/models/DSCN0554.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/models/DSCN0552.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/models/DSCN0553.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/models/DSCN0551.jpg tried to include a few scale shots too... i don think scales much of a problem tbh with mixing with older models, the differences in backpacks is a bigger thing for me...
