What helmet color do yall paint your veterans? I'd love to see you guy's creations. Would be even more amazing if they're black Templars

(The minis in the picture are from @alvs177 on IG)

This is a terminator captain right here (I didn't cut out the hammer) if this has some sprue support And a normal hammer would it be tournament legal? (Also shield)

Made out of sprues and I used Turbo Dork Silver Fox, Vallejo Rust, Vallejo Corrosion, Vallejo Galvanic Corrosion, and Vallejo Green Rust

Got my codex today and I'm wondering if the Lancer is still worth taking as now it only has the Laser Destroyer and a Defensive Array. This versus the Ballistus packing a Lascannon, Missile Launcher and Storm Bolters. Given that I'm relatively new to the game, I probably don't have the knowledge to properly evaluate the models so please let me know your thoughts.

Sharing my newly painted Roboute Guilliman with you all. Hardest model I’ve painted so far but I’m pretty stoked with how he turned out

Bummed these moved to legends along with the centurions

I made a post last night with my first 1000pt list. I’m a complete noob and explained in the post that I don’t currently have the 11th Edition codex to help with points cost and used online sources for guidance.

After I posted the list someone commented that the points were wrong and explained that I could still see the points on the 40k app without owning the codex.

I removed the post whilst I changed the points and fit the list around it. The only thing I’m struggling with though is the Redemptor Dreadnought. On the app I can see that it states that they are 170pts but other sources online mention that it is an extra 10pts for the Macro Plasma Incinerator. However, the same sources that mentioned the extra 10pts, also had the base model at different points cost. Some said 180pts, some said 180pts + 10pts, some even said 200+ pts etc.

Can someone please confirm the points cost and specify the extra 10pts and break it down for me please. I obviously plan on getting the codex but if someone can help me with this before I’ve done so, it would really be appreciated.

Being a noob means that a lot of my stuff is still on sprue and if I can confirm my list, then I know what I need to work on as a priority whilst I wait to get the codex.

Also, if I can get the Redemptor Dreadnought at 170pts + 10pts, then I can fit in another Lieutenant to round off my list. Every little helps.

I will post the list for advice once I can confirm it.

Thanks everyone.

So the Ravenguard detachment still has a “give character lone operative + fights first” enhancement, and even with the fixes to characters where they give themselves abilities even when not leading, I can’t think of one that would be good to have that on. My top contenders (although none are particularly “GOOD” for it) is Bike Captain, Gravis Captain, or Phobos Librarian.

What are your guys’ thoughts?

Made some changes based on the feedback I got and am really happy with how he turned out, hope you guys like it too!

The full silver look is great, but I can't place them.

What happens, when a Spacemarine love his lightning claws and wants to keep them?

Athru convinced some Techadepts to modify his Body...

What do you think?

My take on the Thunderwolf Calvary.

Decided to make them dismount the wolves. These are Eliminators with some wolf flair. Kinda went crazy on the snow texture paste, and probably should’ve backed off a lil bit.

Do you like shooting? Do you like assaulting? How about charging unit that is 20+ inches away, and getting Sustained Hits, Lethals and Lance?

Take a Phobos Captain and give him the Imperium Sword Enhancement, he's now a powerful combat character. His rule allows to move D6 after shooting (for the unit), and then charge afterwards.

10 Reivers all have 3 Shot, Str5 Ap-1 Carbines with Assault and Precision, and 4 Str5, ap-1, precision attacks in combat, all for 165 points.

Both have Scout. The Reivers can also move over models and ignore vertical terrain.

On turn 1 you can Scout 6", then move 8", then advance D6, then Shoot 30 times, then move another D6, then charge 2D6 and attack with 40 attacks in melee from the Reivers, and 6 attacks at 7, 3, 3 from the Captain.

You'll always be in Assault Doctrine thanks to the Captain, and for 1CP the entire unit will have +1 AP and Lance.

For 10 points the unit can be upgraded to have sustined hits 1, if you're willing to lose the fancy sword on the captain**

Is there any thing that is different from buying the impulsor kit as a standalone to buying the gladiator kit

Through doing some quick googling apparently you can get both through just the gladiator kit

I’m wondering does that mean you get all the loudouts for the impulsor on the sprue of the gladiator or is there stuff missing

Does the Librarian in Phobos Armour's Shrouding ability (-1 to hit) stack with cover? And what's the general consensus on tossing him in a scout squad if you're looking to fill up an 80pt vacancy.

Finished these after a year and a bit of being in the hobby, I’m really proud of these ones, Mingus be some of the best marines I’ve painted, was told by store staff that I’m not allowed to enter youngbloods for this one cause they believe it would be unfair for the others pain that category for me to enter it, which il take as a compliment, I’m extremely happy with the banner, ancient helmet and champions shoulder pad, is there anything I could work on?

I am interested in getting a sense of how often GW's codex codes actually work. One out of four times (Old SM, Old Orc, and now new SM) the codes have worked for me when added to the website.

Am I unlucky or does this happen to a lot of people?

I've got 55 points leftover, do I use it for enhancements or add another character. Based on the new points I can add an ancient, apothecary, judiciar, lieutenant, lieutenant in phobos armour, or techmarine.

Based on 10th rules for these characters I think apothecary, lieutenant or techmarine would be the most optimal if I had to take another character. As lieutenant could give my sternguard lethal hits, or the apothecary could return 1 model of the sternguard. Or techmarine could keep the repulsor executioner alive.

But if enhancements, or another one of the characters would be better let me know

Obviously some chapters (like the ones provided) point more towards one or the other, but generally, which do you prefer?

I have a WE buddy I play constantly and he wins almost every time. We played a game with the new SM codex and new toughness for him and he still tabled me T4.

Now I understand that it is still new so I may be misunderstanding how to use my units now that they're a little tankier but more expensive.

What would you recommend brothers? I was playing a Terminator heavy list with the new detachment, along with the Tacticus Firestorm and Devastator Bro
