I wish they fit better with the current cadians but I really like those field batteries

How’ve you been? Also these new models are awesome. That new Castellan has me drooling. Congrats on the promotion, and glad to hear the kids are doing okay. I'm chugging along, but I'm 100% out of 40k now. These new models are tempting as all hell though, especially the Kasrkin. I really love the look they went for, mixing a bit of modern, old Cadians, and the old metal models from back in the day. I know I'm going to wince and shy away when I see the price tag, but they're really, really well done. |

Over covid/lockdowns I got featured on the GW website a couple times and got REALLY into my painting, I still love the lore and the hobby and the models, but on the other hand the game is becoming so bloated and weird, along with models I need to take out a mortgage to afford haha. What sort of stuff are you into now? If you’re still hobbying? |

What sort of stuff are you into now? If you’re still hobbying? Awesome on getting featured on GW's page! I'm all the way into Flames of War now. It's a lot cheaper, much more balanced and rules friendly, and the company is mostly just mildly incompetent rather than actively hostile toward the community and the FLGS that carry it. I just walked through my front door with an armload of new British releases (Comets, Challengers, etc). You can see the stuff I'm doing in my picture thread, although my new phone's camera isn't the best. |

I’m very excited for these! Not so much the models but the rules.
I have plenty of Deathriders but some new rules will hopefully make me field more than the 8 I currently run!

Hello Paradill! Yeah I know what you mean. I was out and then Horus Heresy drew me back. Not a fan of new resized models but have invested in new plastic space marine tanks and dreadnoughts.
Any chance we can see your pictures?

I've built the Kasrkin kit out of the new Kill Team box (I've been convinced to give Kill Team a try).
Holy cr*p they are are so cool. I've been kitbashing them with a few bits from some old Orlock ganger sprues I've had laying around for extra kit and to make them look a bit more rag-tag. I was also delighted to find out that I could use the body from the demolition guy (who has the extra armor) with the plasma gun arms.

The Rogal Dorn!
Well, it's here and I'm... probably not going to get one.
I can see how the new sentinels match with this tank with the curves n all, yet I don't see it fitting in with the rest of the range.
The low forward hull mounting points for weapons seem to be disliked by many on the internet, thankfully theres the option for headlights.
Interesting placement of the heavystubber at the back of the turret, not much of a firing angle even before the commander comes out of the hatch!
On the positive; I do like the smaller looking barrels on the battlecannons, and its nice to see the tracks havve suspension.

Personally, I absolutely love it!!
I would have preferred plastic Macharius but hey ho!
I have a few tank Commanders including a Commissar so I see at least 2 in my future!

If it's available for 30k Imperial Cults and militia I might consider it; not a stretch if LRBTs were available in the previous HH rules. Lookswise I prefer the Kratos Heavy Assault tank, and I hope that the rules for the RD don't get nerfed like the Baneblade did in 30k. Armour Value 13 on the frontal armour of a super heavy is ridiculous. You might as well paint a sign on it saying 'Shoot me first'. |

I know!! It’s urine poor. It looks like Guilliman, the college years! So bad. I won’t be purchasing this at all. Though I have a stand in for him:  Death Korps of Krieg Squadron Commander The base looks about the same size. |

Just seeing the image I went "Well at least Lord Solar Macharius has a model again", then was promptly crushed by finding out he's just Lord Solar Some Guy. I wonder if they Imperium is trying to memory-hole Macharius. First they bring out a tank that looks like it could replace the Macharius in Super Heavy Regiment, then they give Lord Militant Some Guy a promotion and a horse they mugged some High Elves for.

Yeah, I'm wondering why they didn't make a plastic Macharius variant instead of the Rogal and brought in a Macharius figure since he's established and a solid character.

Definitely. A plastic Macharius tank would have been amazing. I really love mine and would’ve happily bought all the variants!
I’m also hoping the Castellan character comes with a rebreather head! I’m looking for a second Marshall so that would fit the bill.

Thanks Cheminhaler! I’m going to sit down and watch that now!
I’m not buying the Cadian box so I’ll have to wait for the new codex. Still think it’s a dirty way of doing things.

No probs.
Personally I'm much more excited by the release last weekend of the Liber Imperium for 30k; specifically the Solar Auxilia list.
Another GMG review on YouTube:
If you take a Legate Marshal and a command tercio you can give them a command vox and then give each of your infantry tercios a vox interlink, then you have army-wide leadership 10. (Kind of like 4th edition)
The cohorts are quite fun. The 'Reborn' veteran cohorts are a bunch of old geezers who have been called back into active service, so they always strike last in cc and have a very slow sweeping advance but they have Stubborn and +1 leadership.
My personal favourite are the Penal cohorts because they have access to all the guns. I want a squad each with stubcarbines, lascarbines, shotguns and lasrifles. The lasrifles have the sickest profile : 30" Strength 3 Heavy 2, or the blast charger profile of 18" Strength 6 Heavy 1.
Lasrifles at Strength 6...........................
I've built a not-Solar Auxilia penal dude with a lascarbine using my heavily armoured Trooper set. It needs a back-pack to look a bit more like 'void' armour.
And written a 2000 point list with 101 penal dudes (20 have refractor fields/ 1 has an iron halo and artificier armour) and 6 LRBTs.
