Scale75 are pretty good paints.

Old art dump:
Reaver Titan with a ladder and some sorta handheld control - wacky shit
This image was on the "dark millenium" box set from when I was a kid
I've never seen this one before - looks like some early horus heresy art
Spooky early eldar pirate
Early renegade titan - flags galore!
Iconic necromundan regiment artwork
Spacehulk artwork - I hadn't seen this one before (though it is very similar to some other ones I've seen)
Early 2000s Horus Heresy artwork (spacewolf I think)
Another "early" horus heresy piece from 2004 (I think this was from the HH card stuff?)
Early CSM conversion ideas from gav thorpe(????) (Iron warriors and ALpha legion)
Same again (Wordbearers, Nightlords, Black Legion)
Rogue Trader space marines ft ice cream cone iconography
"Covert" rogue trader marines
Well known tyranid vs eldar pic - this was featured in the game "final liberation" iirc
Not Space Hulk, Advanced Space Crusade
mmm vintage 40k artwork
I'm about 99% certain the Chaos conversion idea pic is from Blanche
I love how the sneaky covert marines are camo'd to fuck but still carry a god damn banner with the word COVERT written on it
I like to think though that in 40K the concept of camo is so foreign that just painting yourself a color kinda like the environment around you would make you practically invisible.
Does the Alpha Non-existent Legion use camo or do they just hold up bed sheets and let go, then run away before the sheet drops?
AdMech Infiltrators "infiltrate" by screeching so hard nobody around them can see or hear them purely due to sensory overload so stealth in 40k is what you make of it
Everyone:
The Fifth Legion, before their primarch:

Not 30k, but I raise you these chaps.
The Effrit stealth squad lead by Omegon during the Great Crusade/Heresy used modified Astartes plate, including dulled color schemes. In Tallarn, Alpha Legion squads trying to root out an Imperial assassin have some sort of electronic camouflage that lets them blend in with their surroundings. It's not really made clear if this is visual or electronic (ie some sort of jamming).
Further than camo though HH era Alpha Legion would actually take on the appearance of loyalist legions to infiltrate them, like the Raven Guard and Iron Hands. Alpharius even gets in on the act by disguising himself as Shakdrak Meduson and luring loyalist forces to an Alpha Legion staging ground that was supplying loyalist forces.
And let's not forget the Howling Griffons. Perhaps they wear bright yellow and red when they want to be seen, but as the Codex instructs, they're perfectly capable of adapting their color scheme for the environment when necessary:

unlike certain Chapters
And most other Chapters. I'd say Chapters like the Raptors are the exception, but far, far from the rule.
Yeah. Alpha Legion stealth typically involves subterfuge and disguise, hence why in 30k their rules let you jack a unit from another legion's list as if they had infiltrated it, and Alpharius can disguise himself as anyone else like a Callidus assassin, also why in their 40k rules every single character is secretly the warlord and every other character is just a figurehead intended to misdirect the enemy.
The Alpha Legion let themselves be seen, but not seen for who they really are; Raven Guard and Raptors don't let themselves be seen at all.
To be fair you can always find an ultramarine even if he WAS hiding. Just follow the self righteous boasting and that one fucking chant.
I don't know and I don't care how well it works( or doesn't) in gameplay, "I am Alpharius" is easily my favorite rule in anything ever
I should check out the 40k Alpha Legion stuff. Horus Heresy has made me a huge fanboy of them but I don't know what they do in the "modern" timeline.
I'll give the Ultras credit: at the very least they didn't openly insult the practice of camouflage like the Red Scorpions did.
Camouflage is the colour of fear... I have no need to hide from my foes... I have no fear of death. My colours I wear openly, they proclaim louder than any words, "I am proud to live - I am proud to die."
That's a quote from Red Scorpions chapter master Carab Culln, expressing displeasure at how the Raptors performed in the Badab War. Despite this open disdain for tactical flexibility the Scorpions are supposed to have an even bigger hard on for the Codex than the Smurfmarines.
Also you can probably see why Culln has since gotten himself Dreadnoughted.

Focus Home Interactive announced 3 new GW licensed games, so far there's only these teasers
Note: The assassin (?) game is by the same people who made Eye Divine Cybermancy and Space Hulk : Deathwing
That could actually be pretty sweet. Though I can't help but think that those teasers look like potential phone games.
Speaking of which, I've had a blast in the horus heresy card game as of late.
I thought the HH card game was grindy as hell, and pretty much P2W?
I think the good thing with it is that you can't buy the special gems currency for it which you need to buy individual cards. Sure you can buy cash to buy boxes, but it's pretty easy to get those too. Though I'm not disagreeing that it is grindy.
Currently getting about 2-3 boxes a day, not counting the ones you get for free every 5 or 6 hours. Crossplay with pc is pretty sweet too.
Saber Interactive, the guys making the other 40k game don't exactly have the most stellar record
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saber_Interactive#Games_developed
Not a whole lot, they run around as independently operating warbands that follow their own objectives. Some have fallen to Chaos, some pretend to have, some are still pure, some are slipping in one way or another. Some are traitors, some are loyalists, some are traitors
cosplaying as loyalists and others are loyalists cosplaying as traitors. All the different Alpha Legion teams around the galaxy seem to have their own idea of what they're supposed to do. Some are following some long-forgotten objective (which may or may not be misinformation
spread by other warbands, or based on information that's gotten corrupted over time), some are just fighting to stay alive, some are aiding the Inquisition, most are avoiding the Inquisition, and no-one seems to know what ultimately happened to Omegon (maybe some do, but of course they're not telling)
I'm basing this picture on what I've read in the two recent Alpha Legion books (which weren't very good, but had some lore anyway) and up-to-date Codex fluff
it's a big hot mess basically, like a 10 000 years long game of telephone, just with murderous backstabbing supersoldiers
That’s what I heard at first too and kept me away from playing it. I started a few months ago and found the exact opposite. The devs are pretty generous in giving things out and getting full sets of cards is ridiculously easy if you can do well in the event/arena mode. There really isn’t a P2W element - everything is easy enough to get for free as is
I see. I guess I might have to give it a spin. Can you get it on Steam?
Yup it is. The UI is really built for the phone but it’s passable at least.
The "collect" has me worried it's going to be some sort of freemium cell phone game or a card game.
I'm 99% sure it's collect as in collect payment.

Wasn't someone on here looking to do Steel Legion? At the least they will make an affordable alternative to Cadians to break that monotony.
