Recasts are really only "worth it" for Forge World or out of print stuff. For GW models, the lost detail and extra work needed to clean up recasts isn't worth the saving, particularly because you'll often lose out on all the extra bits you get from a GW kit if you go recast.....assuming you can...

Sigh. Back to actually writing things down on paper like some kind of Neolithic savage.

Yeah. I noticed they had the "use this one phrase in your response to show that you've actually watched the video, we'll be hanging around in the comments" and then a bunch of people did that to no apparent response. I'm wondering if the poor quality of Twitter counter arguements (because the...

I don't know if I'd go that far. They're good with bolters and at fighting tanks, but other weapons/other targets don't get the same bonuses.

Ultramarines have a wider variant of special units with unique rules, and they generally play more....tactically, for lack of a better term. Lots of strats that focus on manipulating character auras and chapter doctrines, and the chapter ability to fall back out of melee and still shoot lets you...

I'm wishing I'd gotten my guard done, because I really want to buy and paint some of those but I've got like 50 infantry to paint first.

You can probably get a custom stamp for only a little bit more, and just make your own wax seals with it.

IIRC from deathwatch, it's actually some massive, multivolume thing that fills most of a library.

Probably not, most sources are discussing the line troopers, not supporting marines, crews, officers, command sqauds, etc.

How many marines are in the chapter. The Templar don't heed the codex's limits on chapter size (or rather, they evade it with a loophole that crusading chapters can go over that limit, and as the Templar are always one crusade they take that to mean they have as many marines as they want).

It's accurate as a high end, I think most of the more plausible estimates are in the 4000-6000 range.

They actually do, sort of. There's actually a term for a marine formation that's capable of doing the same thing as a conventional infantry platoon. It's called a "sqaud". As a rule of thumb, a given marine formation is about as capable as whatever is one or two rungs up the ladder of an...

Bit of both, actually. They've announced the newest version of the Horus Heresy game system, and a number of the HH era resin models are getting new plastic releases, and I think one or two new ones are also coming out.

Those aren't quite tube artillery. The Typhon is a assault gun, and the bombard is something we don't really have a RL analogue for but it's basically an indirect fire assault gun.

Something like the the US army's prototype Crusader SPG, that could move and fire while drawn from it's own internal ammo storage, with the ability to fire multiple shells at varying trajectories timed to hit the target all at the same time might be useful, but the imperium doesn't have one of...

Yes and no. The marines aren't banned from having conventional tube artillery, and in fact in the legion days they had basilisks of their own. They stopped using them because basilisk artillery is unsuited to post-heresy marine doctrine. It's too slow, has a massive logistical footprint (needs...

Funnily enough, I think all the "oops, I rolled a one with a plasma gun" jokes make more sense now then they did back when they were made. Back in 7th edition and before, plasma overloads inflicted a fairly strong hit to the unit shooting, but it was still survivable if you were lucky or had...

Looks plausible as a rough sketch, fits the sort of retro styling that the admech are know for. I was about to say it's odd that 40k doesn't already have a technical, but then I remembered the achillies ridgerunner exists.

That I'm not sure of, ramilies class starforts are noted as being huge, but not too any defined size as far as I can tell.

According to what I can find here, it's actually at least twice that big. That said, they use a slightly shaky measure for that math, as the quote they use to scale it isn't cited, and assuming that only the Gloriana class is bigger is a bit of a jump. The symbol is stated to bigger than most...
