Awesome biovores.
They actually look like they are specialised variations of the basic warrior\gaunt combat forms.

Most of the primaris are alright i guess and the lore behind them is not too outlandish by 40k standards. But i don't really dig their starcraft/videogame look and most of all Iam pretty mad that my Black Legion, Grey Knights and Deathwatch look like midgets now to be honest 

Some of their models look plain stupid though. Look at these dudes :

Cheers m8. That's definitely what i was going for, a more obviously warrior-strain biovore.

In regards to those new primaris, i like the core of the model, but the flight stands and smaller backpacks are definitely a mis-step. Altering the feet and putting them straight on the base, or adding classic jump packs both make the models so much better.

What could also work to a lesser extend would be a biovore based on the hive guard\tyrant guard\pyrovore strain. It would look a little to heavy armored for a biovore though.

I still have to get used to the more tech advanced look of them. Seems like the IoM is finally getting out of it's dark ages of technological superstition and ignorance. But i agree on both suggestions. I feel like the MK IV armor's jumppack would fit their overall look especially good.


On the toptic of latest releases, the Warmaster himself finally got his big revamp after decades of missing out on getting an updated model:

Speaking of Tyranids, I dig this guy's YT videos and he just covered them:

[JokersWarPig]

I really wish Deathwing was a better game, blasting through Tyranids was great fun. Finding a populated game that didn't have connection issues wasn't so great though.

[Vertigo]

What's the issue with Deathwing?

Haven't seen much of it, but the concept of a tactical FPS set on a Genestealer-infested space hulk was done insanely well by Vengeance of the Blood Angels a million years ago.

[JokersWarPig]

The initial release was plauged with a lot of issues, and the enhanced edition (version I bought) was supposed to fix most of the issues and add additional customization. It did fix the problems, but the player base last time I played was not very large and the quick play option didn't work.

It's a shame really because Vermintide 2 is such a good game and most people were expecting the Enhanced Edition to be just as good. The bit of it I did get to play was fun, but depending on the map it could get very tedious/repetitive very fast. Not that the game play is boring at all, but the AI director (if Deathwing has one, I'm not sure) didn't seem to be anywhere near as good as the Vermintide one, or L4D for that matter.

I experimented with the Guard bodies, way too chunky and agressive looking imo.

And new Abby is great, like him better without the cape though.

[Born Of Cold Light]

The new Abaddon looks amazing.  The one I'm really waiting for is Angron to seriously beef up my Khorne forces.

On the topic of my almost-completed Khorne Daemon army, here is my new, and for the moment, final list. I re-organized the Bloodletters and reduced their numbers and got rid of the Skull Cannons and replaced them with my Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury.  The erasure of my second battalion's Bloodletters allowed me to replace them with three units of Flesh Hounds (for the second unit, I'm using Chaos Warhounds as stand-ins, and on the third, I'm going to have four Warhounds led by the Magore's Fiends Flesh Hound). The semi-official name of this battalion is the Fast Dudes Battalion . I moved my Bloodmaster to the third battalion to beef it up and got rid of my Armour of Scorn since the Flesh Hounds plus Karanak make it unnecessary.

Warlord Battalion:
Daemon Prince of Chaos with Malefic talons [HQ] [Warlord] (Mark of Khorne) (Trait: Oblivious to Pain)
Blood Throne [HQ] (Artefact – Crimson Crown)
Soul Grinder [Heavy Support] (Mark of Khorne)
1 x 25 Bloodletters (with Banner of Blood/Icon and Instrument of Chaos)
1 x 14 Bloodletters
1 x 10 Bloodletters

Winged Daemon Prince Battalion:
Daemon Prince with Wings, Daemonic axe, and one set of talons [HQ] (Mark of Khorne) (Artefact – Skull Reaver)
Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury [HQ]
Karanak [HQ]
1 x 5 Flesh Hounds
1 x 5 Flesh Hounds
1 x 5 Flesh Hounds

Skulltaker Battalion:
Skulltaker [HQ]
Daemon Prince of Chaos with Malefic talons [HQ] (Mark of Khorne)
Herald (Bloodmaster) [HQ]
1 x 15 Bloodletters
1 x 10 Bloodletters
1 x 10 Bloodletters

Total points: 1997
Command points (original): 18
Command points (remaining after artefacts and Blood Banner): 15

Pics?

Working on some Tau

[The Kurgan]

Any idea how you will paint them ?



Chaos continues to get new toys. Like this one, the Lord Discordant:

[[cancerblack]]

Paints will be classic mid-3rd-ed original release tau scheme, complete with green base lips.

[The Kurgan]

Good choice. That was always my favorite color scheme for them.

[[cancerblack]]

It's a c**t and a half to recreate that with modern gw paints though. Results are worth it so far though

[Local Trouble]

Isn't that an expensive hobby?
