But they Are vanilla. Aka "Classic". Isnt it true? It is basically a normal choice for loyalists. Hey...I wanna chose some chapter without weird stuff....Space Knights, space mongols, space Vikings...space vampires....space terminators...space ninjas...space "whatever u can make up of salamanders". And only smurfs and fists are kind of normal. For some people normal=uninteresting. This is their opinion and they have all the rights to have it. Like I can't defend my favourite word bearers being a bunch of zealots. This is just truth.

Ultramarines are space romans, and the fists likely have something historically too. You cannot deny ultramarines are space romans, so your argument was pretty invalid

is it weird of me to always think of this anime character when I see a pic of the Carcaradons?


"For I, Adon Corbolwitz, possesor of the secret Corborlwitz gene-seed passed down through the Corborlwitz family for ten thousand years, will never know defeat"

The latest from Brent:

15. Have you tested flamer weapon mechanics to a point where you could tell us whether or not they'll be in-game?

BRENT ELLISON: Not specifically, but we’re now confident that we’ll be able to do them at some point. Not sure about launch yet though.

So its possible i guess. Probably not going to be a 100% sure thing before the SM vote, which kinda complicates the situation around people voting for Salamanders and wanting to actually flame things down.

Ok...my example with space knights wasnt proper enough. In addition to knights, they also have the traitor problem. Other examples had bad and good sides. White scars are nomads like mongols. Wolfs are wild like vikings. Iron hands have no feelings, almost as terminators. Stuff like that. And etc and etc. Ultras have nothing like that. They are just normal dudes in power armor with a little bit of roman theme. Good, normal choice for people, who dont want the legion with issues. Same with fists. Vanilla choice.

At the risk of turning this into an ultramarine thread, i say we should take this elsewhere to discuss

DA as in the 40k standing are space monks. Recluse and secretive. robes. Think church in dan brown novels.
It was obvious that IF fans would give their opinion on this thread.
even in the humble BT thread people sometimes go there just to bash them.
Its a public forum, everyone is entitled to an opinion whether you said this is an IF page or not.
The best you can do is try to keep flames down.
If i had BT on the race hell i would had make a dozen threads a day just to have them in game.

Yea I see what you mean, hopefully this isn't the case and Ivan doesn't pop one into left field.

Its pretty clear that IF WS and i dare say RG will make it to the vote.
IH dont have that much following, and due to the flamer weapons not being ready for launch MAYBE Salamanders wont make it aswell.
