Discussion Why do I got to write this out?

215 Upvotes

Hey all, a thread popped up and was related to the LGBTQ+ community.

We are a simple subreddit who enjoys toy soldiers the way we personally like to enjoy them. This hobby has expanded incredibly and will bring all sorts of people.

This won't hit everyone but please think before you write and post. Some people are immature and will not think a second, no doubt. But re-read what you're about to post to make sure its related to the actual thread. If it is deemed otherwise, I will clean up.

I have given time-outs to a couple of people so far. Do not let it be you.

The Emperor Protects.

UPDATE: I've been getting messages from some of the people that I've taken out and the original poster but let me make myself clear. We do not condone any negativity, hate or backhanded shit here. I cannot speak for the others on the mod team but personally, I do not tolerate any kind of attack. This includes snide remarks and/or "trying to be funny." It's real simple y'all, don't be weird and think about what you write/post.

Thank you to the folks that are reporting some of the problems correctly. Wishing you roll's of 6's on all your saves or the best layer of paint you lay on your model from here on.

Question Too Big?

Starting to build a Deathwatch Terminator squad. If the Kill Team squad can have a zenophage blade, I thought a chaos sword like Logan’s chaos axe might look cool. I’ll be swapping their left pauldrons for Deathwatch ones, but they haven’t arrived yet.

Discussion Terminators in purge list

7 Upvotes

I had alot of success with the 10 terminator brick in prioriy assets and could definetly see it being disruptive in a purge list. Drop it in the central objective and just ruin gameplans.

Worried that it costs too much though. Haven't played purge yet, whats everyone's thoughts on this?

Discussion Warrior Brood re-ignited my love for Deathwatch

7 Upvotes

Hey hey battle brothers!

I recently fnished this book, and let me tell you, it may not be perfect but it really made me love deathwatch and the inquisition all over again.

I love all of the intrigue and questions asked by everyone involved, the underlying unease of the space marines showing they are more compared to "We pewpew cause yea". Plus it did go into a bit of how differing space marines from different chapters will interact with each other, a BT chaplain no less working with a BA psyker for decades? unthinkable EXCEPT in the deathwatch.

Idk I got a bit all over the place in this post, but I just really enjoyed it and was surprised overall.

has anyone else read the book? I have the second and will be cracking it open soon and if anyone has other recommendations for deathwatch books please share :D

Hobby Decals for Pauldrons

2 Upvotes

Hey all. As I am in the middle of stripping and repainting my Ultramarines into Deathwatch, I had a thought. It's such a hassle to print DW pauldrons to attach because you have to cut down the existing pauldrons. Is there a decal out there that would emulate the sculpted writing? You could just put that on the existing pauldrons and maybe 3D print the central symbol or something.

I may not be explaining myself well here but it sure seems like something that should exist.

I’m sure I’m sounding green, stupid, and don’t know what I’m doing…. All is correct! 😂

I’m mostly a painter but one day wanna play. When done painting this is what I would have to play from, now I love the “Kill Team” squads, don’t really wanna build the normal space marine squads before the kill teams. I am thinking I could pull from some of the KT’s for Intercessor squads for stickies and such.

DW veterans (1x5)
TalonStrike KT’s (2x10)
Fortis KT’s (2x10)
Indomitor KT’s (2x10)
spectrus KT’s (2x10)
DW Terminator KT’s (3x5)
Decimus KT’s (3x10)
3 Corvus Blackstars
BGVs (4x3)
3 SGV squads (they just look awesome)
1 Company of Heroes to fill in the blanks
The Watchmaster, Watch Captain, and rest of the “characters” I have covered.

*as for vehicles and armour I’m not really going to focus on that yet.
