I never actually pinpointed the location of my space marines home system on the galactic map, but I've considered it fitting to have them somewhere nearby the ghoul stars. I like the idea of my knightly marines with a large armoury of power swords fending off the unknown horrors within that region of space. It also helps considering I had them largely decimated in their current lore to an unclassified enemy.

these are the only true statements

other games and other editions are perfectly fine, as is getting models if you fan afford them or find a deal, or a recast, or whatever alternative you prefer, and also codexes are a treat to read, especially the old ones, and pirating them is free

It's always weird when authors are talking about astartes at rest and they describe them as wearing both bodysuits and robes. I imagine that's gotta look a little goofy, no?

>>97641443
I'm sorry bud, your chapter is a containment for dindunuffins. You're going to have to deal with it

>>97641443
I do actually have supporting figures. Out of a sample size of 41 marines (every SW-exclusive, non-character kit listed on GW's site) 8 of them were unhelmeted and black.

>>97641415
imperials definitely are a very different breed compared to modern humans, 10k years of oppressive regime would already have its impact, but that has also happened after 20k years of genetic drift and adaptation to exoplanets that might have also been enhanced via purposeful genetic engineering

even today we've identified people who can sleep half as much with no discernible downside, that could have probably been isolated and added to colonists

but still, I'd guess a lot of the numbers shouldn't be taken that literally or to their most extreme extent, there's a difference for example between a 20 hours shift of nonstop work and staying 20 hours away from your hab-block for a living, between the 20 hours of the latter there might be alloted timeframes for rests, the absolute minimum and certainly uncomfortable to a near unbearable degree, but possibly survivable

The 20 hour shifts are brought up in RT. Reducing the hours to a more reasonable 10 per day freaked out the citizens and eventually led to them revolting as they took at as a sign of weakness in the leadership. Imperials think cruelty is strength, empathy is weakness, and weakness is heresy. Anybody who comes along and tries to make things better will be killed by the people above him and the people he's trying to uplift below him. That is why nothing can ever get better for the Imperium.

Around 50% of the world’s population lives in cities, and it seems that much of the Imperium has planets with either borderline kowloon tier population density or pre-industrial population meant for a specific purpose (vacation, farming, worship, ect.) with few in between those extremes, so unironically it might be upwards of 80-90%

Mathematically speaking, the blackest chapters are Space Wolves and Black Templars, though Space Wolves are more favored due to having more units showing visible skin while Black Templars have far more characters that only come with helmeted options.

with the latest 30k Custodes box set they've been really cagey about if the models are going to be legal in 40k. so I think there's a possibility that in 11th ed there's going to be even less units that can be used in multiple games.

Don't think about what's popular, think about what you like. You don't want to start sinking hundreds of dollars into models you dislike.

>>97641256
The Dark Angels complied with Guilliman's order for the legions to break into 1000 man chapters, but in reality those chapters still function together like a legion.

The Space Wolves didn't have enough survivors of the Horus Heresy to even split into chapters, and their one attempt prior to Primaris marines failed horribly.
The Wolves never recovered to any appreciable size due to their gene seed degrading even further and limiting themselves to Fenris, unlike the Black Templars who gave zero shits and kept recruiting like it was M31.

So that meme for Space Wolves would be the Space Wolves talking to themselves.

>>97641492
Salamanders aren't negroes, their skin turns ash to protect them from radiation, all space marines can do that, their gene flaw just has that turned on all the time, it doesn't mean they're of ancient african descent.

How would you go about naming an Astra Militarum list for Crusade? Space Marines are generally easy as it can usually be [Chapter Name] [xth Company] [Warlord Name] [Detachment] but for the Imperial Guard, you can't really have a full regiment in 1000-2000 points unless you're from Tanith

Name of the Company in the Regiment you are playing or something like "Battlegroup [Name]".
1st Company or F Company for two Company examples. The Battlegroup might just have a letter or number too or be named after the commanding Officer instead.
Also instead of Battlegroup you could use names like Task Force, Combat Command, Kampfgruppe, Forward Detachment, or anything else you can steal from history.

Besides noctilith (apparently I'm the only one that remembers), adamantium, and wraithbone & soulstone, what other minerals of note are there? Especially psychically reactive.

>>97642294
GW is super inconsistent with this, so you could just say "Task Force" or "Operation Force" or "Element" if you want to cover that it has forces pulled from across the Regiment (for example if you are Cadian you want tanks from a tank company and infantry pulled maybe from multiple companies) or the catch all "Regiment" and "Company" if you want to front and center that grouping and its just common sense that those forces would have attached elements like tanks and support staff.

Blackstone is the current most important mcguffin one, very important to both the admech and necrons and lets you make warpspace walls that prevent demons from crossing over. So I think you already have it covered. I see the term "plasteel" being use a lot too in an Imperium context.

Every possible weapon loadout a unit can have needs to be split off into its own datasheet.

Also some TO&E list Imperial Guard Regiments as having Brigades within their Regiments to group their Companies together so you could use Brigade instead. I think Brigades only appears in some Imperial Armour volumes, whenever Codexes or campaign books listed a Regimental TO&E the organization always goes Platoon -> Company -> Regiment.

Yeah plasteel, rockrete, ceramite and fio'tak are important structural materials, but the others are like natural resources that can be found, right? Even if wraithbone can also be sung into being, I heard it's also out there.
It's just that I was thinking what resources can there be to be fought for? Fissile materials (uranium), fusionable materials (Hydrogen), consumables (Oxygen, Carbon).

I think of Pirate eldar, Tau outcasts, Explorator magi, but they all end up becoming mineral quests.

Blood effect paint.
It is a bit of a bastard to work with, because blood paint (or at least the army painter stuff) does not like leaving the brush, so it's hard to flick blood spatters onto the model.

DAMN, absolutely no bullying, but I think you need to set him down and try painting some basic necron warriors to get good at it, and then fuck around with blood effects on them, and then when you can effectively do that you can move onto the big guy. For painting blood, I will say that GW does sell “Blood for the Blood God” paint under “technical” that does blood effects really well.

it's good to have know how their army generally works, but if you run into something that seems busted or very convinent for the situation it never bad to just say "wow that's nuts, can you show me how it works" to check that your opponent is playing it correctly/it actually exists.
Generally people don't try and cheat, but sometimes peoples understanding of the game can affect how they think certain units work.
