I was lukewarm on BOX until someone posted a pic of the Mk6 with DG pickelhaube and I jizzed in my jeans.

I have 35 Mk3 foot troops right now I'll be using as vets/support squads. I also have a couple of Aquitor bombards coming and a plagueburst crawler to lead the squadron.

My friends are full time HH nerds - and I've been orbiting for a bit - getting the fix in through Titanicus and BFG.

Picking Iron Hands, because they're basically space dwarfs, and seem to be under-represented. What's cool about them and what should I get? I've already picked up some Gorgons because they look great.

I don't know if it's in the new list, but the Mortifactor is a legion leader who focuses on the Dreadnoughts of the legion. Very IH in my opinion.

I played ZM tonight and it was good. I didn't actually get to use any of my chem-munitions flamers but I pulled out a win in the end.

As much as I just adore the idea of unleashing plague flamers everywhere I possibly can, I don't care for the colour scheme they have
Guess I'll keep debating between Word Bearers, Night Lord's, Alpha Legion or Sons of Horus for my Traitor legion
World Eaters have a great colour scheme but don't want all melee legion

Somebody posted a link earlier to an Alpha Legion painting tutorial on YouTube and that was loving impressive but I don't have a airbrush

That use of DG Green instead of Castellan green kind of sucks. It's not strong enough. I am considering changing from bone to cream for the body color though based on that.

I played a 1250pt game of ZM using the new rules last night against forums poster Stanyer.

I played a terror assault Night Lords list. I took a jetpack praetor with a paragon blade, a vigilator, a 15man tac squad, an assault squad, a 10man raptor squad, and an 8man heavy support squad with missile launchers. Stanyer was playing IWs and took a cataphracti terminator armored praetor with a paragon blade, 2 tac squads, a legion support squad with melta guns, 5 siege tyrants, heavy bolter rapiers, and a contemptor with a multi melta.

But did you roll off for ceilings?

I have stuff that's collecting dust that I could start building/painting, but my anxiety is wracking me over building them "wrong" since I don't have the rules to read yet.

I have 30 mk3 marines, 5 cataphractii, and 5 Tartaros and I'm going with Salamanders. If anyone has guidance.

I�d build one 20-man and one 10-man tactical squad with your basic marines. This edition really calls for vexillae and comms too.

So how are things for Ultramarines looking in terms of rules and being able to use the box set?

Ultras can use the box just fine. Their rules are solid but unexciting. If I were building UMs from the box I'd do 4 separate 10 man squads so they could benefit from a rule that promotes synergy when they shoot.

In Heresy, squads all have the same guns like primaris do. If you build a sergeant or two and give everyone else bolters you'll be fine.

Is there some sort of prohibition at major tournaments regarding kitbashing these days, even with 100% GW products? I feel like I already asked that in a thread since getting back into the hobby, but surely the answer is to bulk out the SA with some Astra Militarum?

I have a bunch of RT guard I intend to use as SA, and if anyone gives me poo poo, I will... probably not do anything. But they'll be legit.

Saturday I took a 3k list of UMs plus a Warhound with Plasma Blaster and Vulcan Megabolter. The WH was decidedly meh, but I appreciated my opponent shooting at it out of fear rather than my actually useful Suzerains and Lascannon heavy weapon squad.

I broke out a Knight army for the first time this past Saturday. Not nearly as OP as in first. It turned out 3 hours in that our IW player was doing Haywire wrong, which would have helped to know, but it was a good time all round.

I picked Ultras because I've been playing Ultras since the 1990s.

Then in 2nd I did up Knights because I've always wanted to and Death Guard for their trench/artillery feel.

Ofc, nobody cares about that nerd stuff, so I'll ask a different question: do you mix Legion and regular helmets in a unit?

I do, but the vast majority of my models have DG pickel helmets. Maybe a quarter are just Mk3 marines.

We played 30k tonight!

His Titan (grey) shot my Titan (red) and made it explode, with a blast radius sufficient to catch his own Titan and made it explode, taking out the half his army he had left.

Ah, good times.
