NovemberIX

I had rather liked the story hook mystery of the Inquisitorial Ordo Chronos and their disappearance until 9th came back and retconned them as glorified time keepers.

I can only say you have my fellow hobby condolences. It sucks when GW gets rid of the things we love, I still miss the old Badab War Stuff. I assume there's not a way to refit or port it to another edition without massive change?

There is a reason, rule of cool. My Sgt.s are built to a theme, not what's optimal.

Anecdotal story time: I've got a buddy who is just getting into the hobby, he would be and sorta wants to be a consummate narrative player, but the LGS he plays at holds regular tournaments, so all the folks there are usually playing to that standard, I've noticed it's starting to affect his play and list building style even when he plays me. For him, legends is less of a nostalgia trip or a way the keep playing his collection, it's a new world of options that he doesn't often get to play with. I'd say that's mostly a community issue, but it is exacerbated by the way GW is presenting the rules as separate tiers. If we're dreaming here, can I also get rules for the Land Raider Ares, the Razorback Rikarius, and the old Badab characters

I rather like centurions, but I know I'm in a minority, I think if you swap the head for one from a ven dread kit it looks a lot better. Same with the Storm Raven, it was a little goofy, but it had a charm of it's own.

Yes, because they generally share the same aesthetic issues, Knee flanges which I find endlessly stupid looking, the basic chest plate design which lacks variation, which is further exacerbated by the repeat poses used across models, the lack of jump pack harnesses, the homogenization of details that were once unit specific, the giant round bit on the power pack, the amour bits over the ball bits in the power pack, lack of boot variation, the lack of of any variation besides what hangs near the crotch. And honestly, the lack of soul in the design. Go look at the Jump Pack Chaplain post where the new one and the old Lemartes are side by side and try to tell me the new one has even half the character of old lemartes. If you can, I'm happy for you, for me, I can happily say I'm saving my money and much prefer my smaller legion of the damned based chaplain kitbash. While it's true that I like the old stuff, I'd love it if the new stuff appealed to me too, but it just hasn't yet. If GW go back to older design aesthetics or methods I'll buy in again, otherwise, I've got a 3d printer, and a bunch of old style stl's. At the end of the day, I'm pretty much playing nothing but legends, and I have my own tables anyway so it's not like I gotta care otherwise.

You keep saying stuff like this, but can't it just be that some people don't like the aesthetics of primaris? GW made some big swinging changes and they're all pretty subjective.

I'm rather partial to Attack bikes, but if they made the ATV a little less mario-kart and a little more sport-quad then I'd be down with that too. I'm not one to talk though, all of my attack bikes are still being painted.

The pose makes it look like he's been launched out of a rocking chair. I like the detail on the bolter and some of the extra bits on the backpack, but by and large it's kinda meh to me.

My inner Theatre-Kid heart is singing, whoever did costume construction on this production deserves their kudos, because Trazyn was amazin'

Honestly, I can't really paint any other color Well, that and a lot of the BnC painting challenges during which I watched a lot of endurance racing, you'd be surprised how much painting you can get done when you don't sleep for 24 hours... As for the Hyperios, it'll need some glue and some reinforcing, but with luck it'll be back on the shelf, hopefully far enough away from errant warp empowered paws.

I try every few years to post up an army shot on November 9th, this year I planned ahead and actually got everything laid out to get a few shots. Much as I wanted to bring out both of my tables, my living room only fits one these days, so I had to get a little creative and stagger the shots. This is pretty much everything save one drop pod that I completely forgot on my shelf. Without further ado, presenting the November Warriors, The House Garaipena, and a couple of sisters from the Order of the Frozen Flame.

So it's been about 3 years since I last did an army update on Nov 9. I finally got a chance this weekend to bring everything out and put it on the table to get some pictures. Last time I did this, it took two 6x4 tables, I couldn't quite fit the second table in my living room anymore, so I had to make due with two separate shots. First up are the Flyers, Troops, Terminators and Specialists. In the background are the two test pieces for my sisters, and an imperial knight pilot. You might notice a Damocles command Rhino has found it's way in. I had actually forgotten it when I took the tank shot, so it ended up with the troops for completions sake. Following up are the Tanks, Dreads, and Knights. I've got a couple of fun tanks like an Ares and a Razorback Rikarius. Sadly shortly after this picture was taken, my cats decided the table was the place to chase each other, my Whirlwind Hyperios didn't stand a chance... Hopefully next year will see some additions, I'd love to finally start tackling the other factions in my DIY!
