Red Scorpions are FW's pet marine chapter. The chapter itself has actually been part of the fluff for a really long time (mid 90s at least) but at some point FW decided that they would act as one of their main focuses.

As for Khorne, he's had a soft spot for the Blood Angels for a long time. One of his Bloodthirsters had a sort of feud with Sanguinius, and is presumed to be responsible for the Red Thirst. "Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it flows." And the Blood Angels (and their successors, looking at you Flesh Tearers) are really good at that, plus the Black Rage tends to make them go berserk which Khorne is a big fan of.
 
Comparison picture that really gives a good sense of how honkin' huge the new dudes are:

Primaris are the new paradigm. In a decade squat Marines will be phased out.

They're getting a new dreadnought
 
The new dread has a beer belly. Guy needs to go work out.

Is it an extra attack or is it double attacks? because I think I saw a profile with Rapide Fire 2.

Just double checked one of the leaks and it is x2 at half, not just +1.
 
I've got an update on my Imperial Knight project. I've finished all my prototyping and am waiting to hear back from a proffesional 3D printing company to see how much getting a master printed would cost (unfortunately, after a lot of effort I've determined my 3D printer isn't capable of printing something of high enough quality that I'd be happy with casting the results).

Here's some pics. Apologies for the low quality, only camera I've got access to right now is a potato.

So those are the finalized designs for the parts but the quality of the prints is still fairly rough and it's being held together by blutack so it's a little droopy on the left shoulder pad and shield.

Anyways: thoughts? Do you think it's good enough of a design that I could sell casts if I do get professional masters made? How much do you think would be a reasonable price? I'm thinking $40 would be about right for something that replaces almost every single armor panel and is a direct fit replacement (no modifications needed, they just slip right on where the old parts went). FW charges a £35 premium on it's mechanicum knights which is ~$45 and have a similar amount of replacement pieces as my design.

Yeah hes thinking long term
Blood angels and sucessors could all turn and be his servants..the red rage means many are on that edge
Tyranids not so much
Also seems to be guilliman and his crusade force helped too

Lorewise Im wanting to see girlyman interact with deathwatch or even cawl with all the captured xenos tech/doomsdayweapons/relics/bio info/ lore and even living things captured.
I mean the lore says among sooo much cool shit they have a captured crown that disrupts tyranid coms!! Surely cawl and guilliman should have a once over at that!


Or have either of them see even just look at some of the hot top flight human weaponry /relic and golden age tech they have!

The mentors seemlike another chapter guilliman would enjoy taking a hard look at...in many ways they are mini hims!

anyone play silver tower? I have a game tis weekend. Looked through the heroes and may play the necromancer. Never played before.
 
We've got a new unboxing vid from GW. I wasn't sure I wanted to go for the starter set due to having zero interest in the Death Guard half, but looking at what you get I'm now leaning more towards picking it up. In addition to the usual models + dice + ruler (no more whippy sticks) it's got the full hardback book, mini-dex's for both factions, and nice quick reference for the core rules. I'm also really impressed with the packaging, it's got a slip cover, multiple compartments, and a separate box for the sprues.

I haven't played, but from what I've heard it's fun for a few run throughs but doesn't really hold up to sustained play.
 
SM now have a hover tank. And, as usual, xenos aren't allowed to have anything cool for themselves.

so did they find the STC for Grav tanks and Grav bikes?

I think the fluff is that it's something Cawl was tinkering with while working on the primaris marines. I think the design is alright (though the turret is a bit too busy) I just wish that hover tanks remained the purview of Eldar/Tau rather than the SM needing one of everything. As for grav bikes, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they showed back up as well.

An interesting piece of background is that it may be an homage to the old "deodorant tank" from White Dwarf:

This is an old conversion from the mid-90s where one of the GW employees detailed how to make a tank using a deodorant container as the base.

The book starts roughly 100 years after the Heresy - with the death of a Primarch. Guilliman vs Fulgrim, finally written down to enjoy.

  • Thiel became Captain of the 2nd Company of the Ultramarines after the Heresy!
  • There are now Tetrarchs again in 40k.
  • The Sisters of Silence see Guilliman as living saint - they are glad he is back and they worship him.
  • When Guilliman spoke with the Emperor during the gathering storm he was shocked how his "father" really sees him - not as a son, but a tool. So yeah, this builds up on the MoM story line. (I actually skipped quite to the end of the novel for this one).
  • The Emperor's humanity is all but gone in 40k.
  • It seems like Rowboote isn't really a fan of the Primaris Marines - he calls them even "Cawl's blasphemous hordes".
  • He only sees them as a tool (atleast for now).
  • It's also implied that he actually is a psyker and tries not to use his potential because of Magnus' censorship.
  • He still thinks in practica and theoretica :)
