Models on the leftmost side were painted earlier, the further right ones are my more recent ones. First and last pictures are of my heavy bolters from the Getting Started Boxes (I bought two, 5 months apart from each other).
Totally fair as they did nothing to stop the corruption overtaking the planet
Exterminatus is honestly one of the scariest and brutal parts of 40k
Scene Set: You’re a simple farmer on an agricultural world, as your father was before you, and his father before him, and so on, for hundreds of years. Recently, you’ve noticed your friends and family acting oddly, strange shrines being erected and weird rituals performed.
People have come and gone, vanished without a trace, and eventually, civil war broke out, and you don’t understand why, so you just ran. You ran, as fast as you could, until your legs gave out and your lungs burned like fire. Then you see it, a massive vessel, larger than anything you’ve ever seen, hanging over your homeworld.
It fires a single missile, and you see everything around you melt away, burnt and scoured by an explosion unlike any other. Then, you yourself are consumed by the flames, along with your entire world. Your entire family. Every achievement, every culture, everything has just been reduced to ash and magma. And this is considered, by the Imperium, a just fate.
Hmmmm they do seem to be a worthy chapter. Maybe for another mission I may requisition them for help as we do have quite a bit of green in the team... Ugh trying to use more of the lesser known chapters is hard...
Alternately, you could just requisition the grey kni—
I the great Lord inquisitor am requesting the services of a Kill Team. So far the Emperor’s Spears, Nemesis Chapter, Crimson Fists, The Blood Drinkers, and The Vorpal Swords have seconded a marine. Which Chapter should I approach for a Librarian to support us?
Self promoting answer: I believe you should go either with a Marine from the revered chapter of the Carrion Watchers. Though they may seem dour and nihilist, they are loyal and steadfast, and will be a good addition to any group. Particularly, their librarians are known to be hard-hitters with no remorse, even among space marines. Traitors and heretics will get not so much as a whisper of regret from their killer as their heads explode from psychic power.
Actual answer: idk man I don’t know that much about how chapters handle librarians other than the non-codex ones being different in their various ways.
