Tacitus Indeed I am. It's hard to make out but the Ultramarine logo is on my Avatars helmet. I had not thought about using Calgar. The only mini I have for him is the Gravis legends one, so it would look pretty boss rolling out of the Landraider resplendent in the proper kit.

Assault ramp, flame on, charge, power fist. Survive clap back, Tactical Doctrine, fall back, wash, rinse, repeat until dead. I like it.

Are Flamestorm Aggressors better for Landraider shenanigans than the Boltstorm load out. I'm considering getting another 3 to get me to 6 of either type, just not sure how to build them. I've got a Crusader and Regular Landraider to put them in.

For those looking to make visual comparisons. I'd like to have seen more bones on them.

Oh yeah Baby! The rest of the Marines are coming home. I can split the orks off to my ork mate. Win win.

It appears that the only other S6 Heavy Bolter is the Company Heros datasheet. But it's listed as Mastercrafted. The Sternguard, Hvy Int, Scouts etc all have S5. It is weird.

Precision sniping knocks 3 wounds off my 4 wound character. "Tis but a flesh wound" in appropriate voice.

That's the Cawl cylinder. All the Primaris ranged weapons have them. There is no in world description of function.

A thought on the "boring" Maine releases, specifically the Intercessors. These kits are not just for veterans with dozens in their collections already. They are also for the hobbyist who just got into 40k recently, and is ready to start buying. Yes, we the legacy players will buy new miniatures obviously. Not ever kit needs to be crazy poses or enticing details. Battleline units can be plan, it's ok. We can dress them up with bits, decals, and yes paint. My only disappointment in this release cycle was Vanguard Vets not having lightening claws. I love the idea of the Veterans of the First having similar weapon options across armor types. Imagining my First Company Sgt needing mobility in the coming fight equipping his squad with jump packs instead of Terminator suits, but still taking to the skies with their iconic dual lightening claws. I'll miss that. I had the parts and spare set of Armageddon Vets ready to go.

Right there with you. Whole squad with classic helmets, back packs, and weapons. They look pretty good.

I'm sorry brothers. The Marine flyers being sent behind the Legends woodshed is my fault. To clear my Marine backlog I finished both an Interceptor and Raven this summer. Now both gone.

So you're the one. I see your game.

As someone with a 1750pt Phobos based army, I'm hoping it's a repack issue.

How many accounts were pruned in this action? Did it achieve the goals you needed it to, lighter load, fewer accounts to track, etc?

Good catch, and rather obvious. Not how gatling weapons work. Quality control should have caught this before the artwork was committed and accepted. The artist should have known better, but the art director absolutely should have.
