Doghouse

Looks like the original that was made from slotta bases back in the eighties.

For me at the moment it's fine, I can currently get two 8k 1000g bottles for about the same as a box of Primaris marines currently and even if it went up to £40 a bottle I could still make maybe four times the number of models I'd get from a GW box of models. I personally prefer the freedom and choice it gives me over modern GW minis.

I'm glad I invested in a printer is all I can say. Price increases never really bothered me too much in the past but of late I think it's surpassed what even I am willing to pay. It's my personal opinion, but I feel it's such a shame it went from a hobby to a product conveyor belt fomo machine.

I love that model and would dearly like to buy one but no way I am paying £130 for a transport. On the whole I really like the PDF and it's got me tempted to dip my toe into 3rd from a modelling perspective.

I really like these lists. The introduction of a lot of Necromunda models is nice and useful for conversions and I like how you can lean into doing something like a squat army. I'm not sure I would do an entire army because it's such a financial investment these days but an allied attachment could be extremely characterful. I think that it works very well as a sandbox.

I personally am really glad that this happened for me. It broke me from the FOMO cycle and showed me that there are so many opportunities to explore the hobby beyond 40k. I have far more enjoyment making my own models from scratch than I ever did with GW conversions and if I create something I really enjoy making I can share it with others for free. For me personally it makes it a hobby again rather than the conveyor belt of product pushing it has become.

Overall it's a very odd design, I think had they said these are advanced mini dreadnoughts I'd be perfectly fine with that. I'd even be happy with the foetus position pilot from the original Contemptor design from Rogue Trader. It looks even more surreal with a bare head. The ball joints on the hips don't really make much sense to me either because it suggests they have no legs, I'd genuinely love a lore description of how they work.

This looks really good.

I'm thinking combi-bolter with disintegrator, not sure yet but do think combi-weapons are the way to go and drop podding onto a target or defending a rear objective from deep strikers. I may pair them with a Land Raider Explorator.

I think the Leviathan would prevent me buying multiples of this set because I couldn't see myself using multiples of it, something like a predator would have have been good. Other two look ok.

That's the thing about printing, I've got a company of mk ii, a company of mk iv and a company of mk iv I never touched. It's addictive once you get into it and the pile of shame grows to insane levels if left unchecked.

I'm magnetising mine for that reason, I think I am waiting till the next journal comes out because it focuses on them giving options for centurions I believe.

In all honesty I'd ignore whatever tidbits there are and just make one of the lost legions if that is what you want to do. I'm currently doing the 11th personally, the records of both are expunged so to be fair you can do what you want regardless. Anything any of us do isn't going to become canon so why worry? Put together an awesome Legion idea and go for it I say! As for your other idea, that's perfectly fine. One aspect of war that is massively overlooked when it comes to 30k is experimental warfare like the SOE in the second world war. Cawl probably wasn't the only one playing around with Primaris concepts and it's incredibly plausible that others were trying weird experiments on either side to give them the edge. The trick is not to tie this stuff to known characters in 40k like Malcador or the Emperor and instead create your own mad scientist type.

I think you'd be fine, Angron was discovered in the year 899.M30 so this gives you about a hundred years of the Great Crusade to play around as Warhounds from a fictional historical wargaming perspective. The armour itself was Late Unification Wars/Early Great Crusade, the latter having lasted from 798.M30 to about 004.M31. The Unification Wars ended in 712.M30 putting it's hypothetical use at around 660.M30 to maybe 850.M30 taking into account the roughly 80 years between the end of the Unification Wars and the start of the Great Crusade at a guess? It's entirely possible that the first time this armour was seen in true World Eater colours was probably at Isstvan IIII in 005.M31 and all previous versions were in Warhounds colours.

Just saw Wayland have put their prices up on the starter to £156 from £126 and showing zero stock, Dark Sphere have removed it completely, no idea what is going on there.
