Warhammer 40,000

Well Forge World anyway so we will have to see how many times it get mentioned in other fluff but it was inevitable after the Riptide.

OK, so that's the Heavy Flamer done◊.

Also found a Tycho model that's going to need stripping and repainting.

Going by those attempts a size comparison... it doesn't look that big compared to a Riptide or even an ordinary Crisis suit.

And given that one of the Tau's more frequent foes are the 'Nids, I can imagine they might want to test alternatives for taking on Bio-titans.

Looks good. Which Tycho will you be using him as, regular or Death Company?

Depends what I can find in the bits box once he's been stripped.

Looks good, DBL.

I basecoated the green for my Rhino over the weekend but haven't had time to do anything else...gonna work some black into this one, probably on the doors and those recessed areas on the sides.

OK, The paint is stripped.◊

It's roughly the size of a Knight. There's a picture of it standing next to FW's Deredeo Dreadnought, which comes up roughly to its knee. The size comparison in the Bo LS page doesn't quite work as the model is pictured from an upward angle while the Riptide and the XV 8 are from the front.

So it's still smaller than a Warhound titan?

Say, the Primarchs who managed to conquer much if not all of their worlds before the Emperor met them would count as Young Conquerors due to having been much younger chronologically than they actually looked at the time of their conquests, no?

Yeah... I think Roboute was in his 20s, when found? I think he was seventh to be found, incidentally.

That Tau suit looks cool. Impractical from the Tau perspective, but cool.

They all reach physical adulthood within less than 5 years on average, IIRC. Guilliman may have very well been ruling his world for decades by the time he was found.

Well, no.

At least, if Unremembered Empire is to be believed. Guilliman recalls already needing custom furniture past 10, but he still wasn't fully grown.

As I said, on average. Sanguinius looked like an adult man by the end of his first year. At such a rapid growth rate, he'd reach his gigantic stature within less than 10 years.

I like to think Alpharius took just as long as a normal person to age up...

Nonsense, there is not primach call alfarius neither the so call "alfa legión" said otherwise is heresy

How can we know what Alpharius did when we don't even know which one's Alpharius?

Well, that's two done.

The memetic Alpha Legion are the reason why I hope that when the HH books get to Eskrador, they're set from Alpharius' pov until he's violently beaten to death by Guilliman.

Nice!

Deadbeatloser's Ro-500 avvie just gave me a hilarious idea: Imagine if destroyed/scrapped Imperial vessels returned to serve humanity as (probably gigantic) mecha musume!

SHIPGIRLS IN SPACE!

I remember imagining these nice upper-class nobles dining in a restaurant inside a Titan while a battle was raging outside.

"I say, Princeps old lad, that Gargant appears to be readying some sort of cannon."

"Oh I do hope the impact won't upset the tea."

I am now watching If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device, and busting my ribs repeatedly.
