Mortarion disappoints me. I don't collect CSM, but I want all the primarchs to be cool releases. Magnus did a god job of impressing. Mortarion is just fucking small and looks like a generic death guard character. He's only 1.5 x the size of a normal Death Guard marine, which I know are bigger than regular marines and almost primaris size, but not greatly impressive. Just seems this guy is about the size of a Lord of Contagion, just elevated off the ground.
The only thing remotely daemonic is the wings, which is something a normal Chaos Lord could take up until 6th edition. I do like the insectoid style it does work, however older art when he had the grim reaper theme going had with with angelic wings to give that stark contrast which was pretty cool. I expected a tall, bloated monstrosity. I know in the lore, not all daemon princes grow into huge hulking figures... but come on, this is a daemon primarch. We haven't had a little daemon prince model in 40k since Doomrider. I'd happily let someone proxy a larger more imposing model / conversion. This is just a large guy in power armor, not even very mutated at all.The only thing that says he;s mortarion is his gas-mask and scythe.
I've used the DG model that seems to be placed most in line with him for scale. The Lord of contagion seems to be further behind Mortarion so isn't a good example for scale since he's smaller in the background.
Gavin Adams
You realise he is a way behind the comparison model in that pic right?
Leo Wood
i can kinda understand your gripe about morty not being much mutated but its him.
Mortarions deal is that he doesnt like chaos all that much, he wasnt willing in all that heresy stuff but kinda just rolled with it and he probably denies most of the gifts, papa nurgle offers him.
Cooper Scott
What started as a stupid idea ended up becoming a stupid conversion
CHAD THUNDERFIRE, PRIMARIS TECHMARINE
HE CAN BENCH A LANDRAIDER WITH EACH SERVO ARMS, AND HIS BACKPACK GETS MTV
Nathaniel Sanders
What torso and legs did you use for it?
Hunter James
he's already big enough to be an enormous pain in the ass to transport anywhere
Xavier Butler
>not chad thundercog
Isaac Butler
Mortarion's model is actually too hulking. He is supposed to be very skeletal, like he is wasting away. Which is what happened before he gave into Nurgle.
Cooper Morales
The Chaplain, with a Skitarii head, a backpack made from the radio antenna off a Dunecrawler and arms made from Kataphron Breacher claws and servo arms.
Chase Adams
>morty gets disgustingly resilient If he has any kind of IWND ability you can say goodbye to balance. What little 8e has anyways
Connor Rogers
Tiny head is tiny
Aiden Turner
Good. The game already has enough fuckhuge models. Smaller models puts more emphasis on using terrain thus making the game more interesting. Nobody wants a line if magnus sized primarchs lining up on one side if the board shooting at the stationary imperial knights lined up on the other side of the board. Guilliman is as big as a model should get. If anything I say mortarion is still too big.
Brody Roberts
That actually looks fucking radical. Reminds me of a Techno-Barbarian
Carter Jenkins

Isaac Hughes
Trying to build fluff for a homebrew chapter, when did Necrons first appear in the Imperium?
I wanted to have the chapter's home world be a fringe tomb world and because of that they're very experienced fighting the Necrons. But that doesn't work if they've existed since M35 and the Become haven't been active until M40.
Bentley Murphy
He is almost as exactly described in Dark Imperium which is the last iteration of the fluff, like it or not. If it doesn't fit your headcanon you can suck it up. Also in you can see the actual proportions which fit pretty well.
Dylan Anderson
Lads I really want to collect Orks but they're so old. Is there a way of building a decent sized army without relying too much on the not so great looking boyz?
Luke Reed
>not chad thundercock
Brandon Lee
it's almost exactly the same size hood as reapermarine usually has, I was honestly surprised.
I actually quite like the look of a tiny cyberhead, it makes the armour look bulkier.
Keep in mind that Magnus is the tallest of all the Primarchs so it'd make sense that he's smaller than Mortarion. Even in deamon form, he should be only like an inch or so taller that Girlyman
Cooper Long
Nope, he's pretty much at the same depth on the photo. The lighting helps define this. Look at the one I picked out compared to the rest of the squad.
You can tell by lighting that the lord of contagion is quite far behind Mortarion. Our example model is just underneath on the ground instead of the elevated platform.
I was expecting more tall and stretched out. Gaunt, but large. A bit smaller than magnus, because he was always the biggest. More exposed flesh and robed after growing out of his power armor.
Jordan Fisher
Plus Magnus can make himself fuckhuge at will anyway.
Chase Taylor
You can run an army of more or less anything you want using spearhead, vanguard and whatever the hell the fast attack detachment was called if you want to avoid taking lots of troops
Blake Ross
>Magnus is the tallest of all the Primarchs >it'd make sense that he's smaller
holy fuck Im a retard
Elijah Morgan
It's the Breacher Claw from the Kataphron kit, which is an absolute bitz goldmine if you want insane John Blanche style conversion stuff.
Sebastian Jones
Who would win in a fight between agrax earthshade and nuln oil?
Connor Foster
Nuln oil but since my army wears silver armour and has silver tanks it's more or less a God Emperor send.
Aaron Nelson
Compare him to his FW model, Guilliman is far smaller than I thought he would be IRL, I thought he was knight sized, but no just above a terminator

9th edition predictions?
>Primaris marines fully cuck manlets who are phased out of the fluff >Girlyman and his primaris are unironically the good guys leading the noble Imperium against chaos + NPC races. >Primarch added as a compulsory option in the force organisation chart. >Manlets off store shelves entirely replaced by primaris >Rules further simplified , no cover, no morale, no bs/ws just 'to hit' , no saving throws as ap is confusing, no move stats >points removed entirely, full switch to power >Some people complain but eventually everybody bends over and resumes the position >Hailed as the greatest edition ever >ETA 1 year.

They've been moving towards "take whatever the fuck units you want" for years now and you really think there's going to be compulsory LoWs?
Pull your head out of your ass. The game is the best it's been in three editions even if the lore is stupid.
Tyler Russell
I guess all the people who played original XCOM/TFTD and rightly considered it a great game don't exist?
nuXCom was casual shit, the old game was fine.

does someone have the path of the eldar omnibus pdf ? or dark imperium ?

well ?
Hudson Long
Girlyman , Magnus and now mortarion are basically already compulsory if your opponent is also running an equivalent model unless you like losing everygame . It's just the next step.
Camden Hughes
Had a terrible realisation as to why my army was so slow, only had a few games in.
I was measuring my distance in centimetres, while my opponents and the game is intended for inches.
What sort of barbarian Brits/Burgers designed this shit and why hasn't it been updated to reflect common sense. Fucking fuming at this. If I'd known I might not have supported the hobby to begin with.
Pic related is my guys, if anyone wants them I'll put em up on the bay.

Magnus looks terrible - like huge cheep toy - warped Ken without Barbie. Mortarion at least looks cool and I will collect DG becouse of him (and the fact that I have some from DI starter set).
Logan Martinez
I predict that in a year you still cant afford 40K and shitpost in the interwebz instead of finding a job.
Owen Collins
Agrax is amazing.
You can literally spray an entire Deathguard army black. Drybrush castellan green and then wash in agrax and they're done.
Adam Morgan
To be fair there are a bunch that have barely had any mention since Xenology. Also there's a bunch from like RT or 2nd that GW doesn't care about anymore.

I'm tempted to start DG myself, the models look fantastic. I'll decide when the codex and the rest of the new DG are out.

When Chaos loses, the Veeky Forums tears will sustain me for weeks, maybe even months. I shall descend upon this board like a wolf upon a lamb, and bask in the unending impotent rage that this board will pump out. I will gaze upon the suicide threads and rage posts, and drink deep of their whining. When they actually start livestreaming their own suicides and self-mutilation, I'll know true ecstasy. I dont think my penis will ever be harder than it will be when a million chaostards cry out in itty bitty chaos boi penis fury simultaneously. They'll try to convince themselves it was a rigged campaign. They'll try to convince themselves that GW had pulled a fast one on them. We will riot! They will say. Boycott! Death to the false emperor! they will cry. Time will pass, and they will do nothing because they only talk. They are too cowardly and weak to do anything. But best of all, none of their bitching will balm the pain of knowing that their faction, their armies, will go down in history as an embarrassment, as an amusing footnote at best, as the loud obnoxious assholes who lost to the IMPERIUM. The entire 40k community KNOWS that the Imperium is filled with literal children, that it's practically on average underage, intimidated Xenosfags into silence, and its vicrtory will surely be mired in constant scandals and ethical breaches. But all this only drives home just how little the 40k community think of Chaos. After all their bullshit, their cheats, their lies, they STILL see the Imperium as being superior to Chaos. When the denizens of Veeky Forums come to this realization, they shall know true, soul-crushing, all-encompassing despair. Exquisite shall be their pain. I will look into their eyes and watch their spirit break, and won't reach my climax a moment sooner. I need to fap.
