Another concept/sketch batch I have been sitting on for a while, suppose I could toss this out into the aether now haha Basically it's a whole chaos space marine warband based around mimicry and infiltration - they look like a suspiciously normal space marine chapter from the outside but OOPS! It's all mimics.

(And not just the space marines/power armor, but everything is game: crew fused with their vehicles, transforming weapon "familiars," etc. It gets silly.)

They stem from the Raven Guard but can end up anywhere, and will take on the colors/appearance necessary to pass undetected. there is a catch though: their presence has a tendency to cause things around them to start to warp and glitch and in extreme cases, essentially cause little warp micro-rifts that end up mimic-ifyng things around them - so they pretty much have to operate solo to have the best chance at keeping their disguise up.

This CAN work to their advantage though if they are attacking in full-force as a warband, and some older members might have fallen too far to Chaos to keep up a normal "shell" anymore, so the overly mutated fellows have to be put to different uses (in fact, there a degree of hierarchy of mutation stages that influences how they organize themselves as a warband & determines everyone's primary functions. And it's not really one over the other either - there are not all that many of them, so they have more luck spreading their influence clandestinely versus relying on brute force of any kind, that would have to be for emergencies. So, some of the more senior & mutated fellows might be more powerful on a physical/psychic level, but it is also like a forced retirement from their infiltration role, so it limits what they can do to further the warband's interests.)

Did you catch the sneaky neutron laser Krios lurking in the background of today's Dark Mechanicum rules preview?

I did. I see you, sneaky neutron laser Krios.

One of my first tanks! Such a wee lad! Also I don't hate painting hazard stripes... Sure it takes a bit more effort but it's relaxing

Dumb shit post about my kin list—

Why the Vindicator is my favorite Warhammer 40k tank.

Iron Snake Captain: “Polyphemus.”

Polyphemus: “Yes, sir?”

Iron Snake Captain: “Remove that heretic/xenos from my battlefield.”

Polyphemus: “Yes, sir!”

The fact that it can fire the cannon point blank if no allies are near it is funny as hell.

For workbench Wednesday, I would like to celebrate these freshly airbrush based vehicles for my Howling Griffons.

These need a lot of work, but I'm pretty happy with how these base colors came out!!

Vehicles with a airbrush would be such a breeze if I hadn't chosen a quartered pattern, lol.

I think the quarters looks really striking on the vehicles, though.

Kratos update, idk I’m still not happy…it’s not screaming Night Lords to me…needs more Night Lords decals…

[titanomancy]

Do you think that all four of the magna laser’s barrels fire at once? Or sequentially? I can’t decide between “ZOTT!” and “ZAPPAZAPPAZAPPA!”

Miss me with that “FREEEM!” business, freeem is for volkites only.

Teasers teasers teasers!

Very close to finishing this big lad carrier

New rule for myself:

No more reading Space Marine novels just because they have Tau as antagonists. No matter how desperate for new Tau lore/action scenes I am.

It's just going to piss me off with the blatant favoritism. I'm not asking for every book to be the Tau version of Storm of Iron but ffs if Chaos can put up a damn good fight can the Tau be written with them putting up some damn resistance using their strengths for once?
