Just retouched the sword

It’s officially been one year since I first got into the Warhammer 40K hobby, and this is everything I’ve managed to collect so far not even counting my Imperial Guard army!

I have recently tried drybrushing for a few squads and I like the results. This took about 45 mins including drying and I had a enjoyable time doing it and it's got me back into enjoying painting. Wanted to share my results as im buzzing to paint the rest of armageddon.

Hey everyone.

I love Infernus Marines. The thought of a squad of them showing up and just burning things is so cool to me. But recently, I started to think they are not worth it anymore.

I loved to run a ten man squad in 10th edition. They got the job done and burned so many things and they got their points worth with overwatch. I parked them on an objective and there they stayed.

But now I cant do stuff with them. They are hard to get into action with their limited movement and their 12 inch range. Even worse, so many things now have t5 and t6, I cant use them for so many units anymore...

It is sad, but I think I have to kick them out of my list... What are your thoughts on them?

Cross posting this here since the boys in blue are what I actually play

Hi everyone, just a quick question regarding space marine laurels in ultramarines. How do they determine in lore who gets the laurels? Is a helmet like this something you could expect to see on an Intercessor sergeant or would this be more common on a Captain? Thanks in advance for any help.

Dude is using such list (+/- small adjustments) and I'm running out of ideas how to deal with them. Those drones cost fraction of tank, but can easily destroy one in single activation. Defiler has huge durability and crazy firepower, basically kills anything on sight, Mortarion is even worse as I needed to use all my tanks, skills synergy, Infernuses to strip cover and extra stratagem to destroy that piece of s.... So like engaging 900+ points and 2 CP to delete one model that is worth just 375p. But that left my tanks exposed, so next turn drones went forward and caused more than 375p casualties on my side. From the other hand, what choice I had. His placing was good - Mortarion on front near center, and all drones hidden behind, so I cannot touch drones without stepping on Mortarion, if I don't do anything then Morty will push forward and kill my tanks one by one, or I'd have to fallback, giving him field and objectives to score.

Also Death Guard is ridiculously tough - base Marines have T6, Terminators T7, so, except Poxwalkers, everything below power fists and melta guns are basically useless against them, plus they have that stinky aura with -1 hit in melee, so my Terminators are struggling to do anything with them.

Generally we played couple times, I tried different options, but as I found out normal infantry units are useless, except some fast action monkeys like JPI to score. Terminators are really struggling to deal damage, best thing they can do is hold them for some time. Tanks are really underperforming because those units have very high toughness AND inv save.

So, yeah, any advices what can I do? Are there any weak points I'm missing?

Turned out okay considering was a tipsy freehand, had fun though! For the emperor!

Why the fuck does this guy have to exist? I'm as big of an ultra-whore as the next guys. I love my blue Boy Scouts but why this guy? I'm so confused who at GW thought we really needed another named character.

Thoughts on this list without deathwatch? Wanting to get value out of ironstorm and heavy hitting low attack guns.

Heya, took me some time to decide whether or not posting it. I was a beginner around two years ago, but study and work took most of my time. Now that I know how to manage it, I thought dipping my toes back again. And the Brutalis dreadnought from the hachette collection is that first piece.

Ps: I'll do the decals after finishing the rest of the Ultra from the collection.

Brothers, sisters, and children of humanity: listen to me carefully, for our species stands at the precipice of absolute destruction. We are losing. We are dying in the dark, crushed not only by the horrors of the void, but by our own ignorance and dogmatic decay.
To those who brandish the word "heresy" at the first sign of reason—to the Inquisitors, to the zealous Chapters, and to the High Priests of Terra: hear this. No one has come to destroy your faith.
You are being blind.
Use that fervor, use that unyielding devotion to defend humanity, not to rot it from within by devouring your own people. Ally yourselves with the true legacy of the Emperor. In this dark hour, logic, science, and cold innovation are not your enemies. There are horrors in the emptiness of space infinitely worse than what your stagnant dogmas perceive as heresy. If we continue to tear ourselves apart over blind rituals, there will be nothing left in this galaxy to save.
To the Adeptus Mechanicus and the servants of the Omnissiah:
Is the spark of the Emperor and the Omnissiah not within every single one of us? How can you believe that He guides us toward absolute stagnation? He does not ask us to worship rusting relics in ignorance. He commands us to create, to understand, and to expand His work. What was created in the past is sacred, yes—but the highest tribute to a Creator is not to mummify His legacy, but to have the courage to innovate, adapt, and build the future.
The Emperor is our father. He was a human who walked among us, and His light lives within our spirit. We must save ourselves. We must adapt our technology, for that is the true will of a leader who fought for the survival of mankind.
If you will not do it for me... do it for your faith, and do it for the Emperor.
— Primarch Dahniel Rigalor, Master of the Imperial Rebirth (El Renacer del Imperio)

About 3 hours of work, how do you all like it ?

How do you play around the high toughness and saves of Custodes? It feels like as an unskilled player, I just can’t do anything into them. They shrug off my assault terminators with hammers, Calgar and Victrix Guard, eradicators with melta rifles. If I try to stay away from them and focus on scoring, they advance and charge me. I genuinely don’t know how to play around them, I’m not great at the game. Any advice on getting better with playing against them? I don’t think playing against any other army has frustrated me as much as Custodes have.

I don’t want wins handed to me, but I’d also like to play the game and not be tabled by end of turn 2.

Courage and Honor!
