I really don’t want to risk cancer by buying too many Chinese recasts so I’m really looking forward to Bulbasaur’s rules.

Also kill team, but that’s for the other thread.

Just establish dominance by taking your opponents’ units and smashing them on the ground as you kill them and you’ll be fine.

I actually didn't know I could use regular Land Raiders and Rhinos in 30k, I have some lying around from when I got into Space Marines a long time ago. Do the kits need any conversion bits or are those all doors?

A few people have said that but I straight up read two posts in a row where the first one said "I've painted all this in the past six months, you're all lazy!" and then another that said "I paint 2-5 hours a night and more at weekends" I'm not sure how else to connect them man.

I just assume they have even the slightest bit of self awareness and realize that painting two to five hours a Day is being an outlier

The problem is 10/12 year old me never would of got into 40k with it looking like a children's book. I wanted the bolter porn, blood, gore and grim dark metalness that came with it from the beginning.

Kids these days would want cartoon 40k because they are soft and fragile and think guns are bad.

I'm going to a Warhammer Weekend thing this week, and they're supposed to have Forgecast stuff there. Are there any kits I should keep an eye out for that are fairly universally useful and not available in plastic?

I was thinking maybe a breacher squad or a Deredeo but advice from people who actually play the game would be great. Primarchs are cool but it would sit on my shelf untouched because I don't trust myself to paint one.

Burning of Prospero and Betrayal at Calth are no longer available on the GW website, so if you needed more cheap plastic marines I'd grab them soonish before they start going up in price on eBay.

In related news, I've got 20 Mk 3 marines to start a ZM force. What else would be good to fill it out? I'm thinking about breachers and some faction-specific terminators, but I don't really know what's cool beyond that.

Anyway, that’s some general advice for spess mahrin in ZM. I’ll do an Auxilia version later this week.

Thanks for this, it's pretty helpful as a complete beginner. I assume people just convert regular marine models into the more generic HQs?

Lets take a moment to admire some hand boiz. Don't confuse them with laz bois or handsome boi, but they are most def an underappreciated and cool legion with a very dead primarch.



The trick to painting them, imo, is not to paint black.


You'd play Alpha Legion

I’m gonna paint up a Moritat with Volkites because it looks fuckin rad, but are they actually any good in a ZM force? It seems like the jump pack would be useless, at least.

I’d have it paired with probably a delegatus kitted out for close combat that’d go with some Templar Brethren or regular breachers or something, haven’t quite figured out that part yet. I’ll go with some regular marines with bolters to round things out.

If it was Fists it'd be Mk III. Mk 4s seem more ... Lizardy

YES I KNOW SALAMANDERS ARE AMPHIBIANS!!!!

Also keep in mind that while different legions have different preferences in tactics and whatever, there were so many marines in each that everyone used pretty much everything so you don’t really need to justify using whatever models you want (unless you’re just putting down regular 40k marines, that’s lame)
