Work in Progress: Primaris Field Police
... or how to compromise.
The Twitter poll was a bit of a dud, ending in 50% for White Scars, and 50% for Field Police. So I put them together.
Behold! The Primaris Field Police!
You know what? I like it.
There's certainly a nice theme to be had of a new chapter out to police the new Primaris Marines in this founding. Flipping the colours around from the old Field Police means that my old Marines will still stand out amongst the newbies. I'll also reserve the black armour for veterans, who can now be properly termed Judges...
What do you guys think?
Until next time!
Thanks for reading.

Primaris Space Marine Paint Planner
The good chaps over at Games Workshop marketing have just released a bit of fluff on the Ultima Founding, the latest crop of Space Marine chapters.
These are all based around the Primaris Space Marines, so expect your current Marines to fade away. Again, not a bad thing, as it's just a shift to True Scale Space Marines that still lets you play with your old stuff whilst you transition.
To help you buy their new models, Games Workshop have also given you a nifty line drawing of a Primaris Space Marine, so you can plan your new Chapter.
Now I'm certain they didn't intend to add all those little gaps in the lines making it hard for you to use simple drawing editors to plan your marines on computer, nor did they realise how difficult it would be to do so on .pdf format.
So I fixed it for them. Here's the same thing with the gaps filled in, and in easy to edit .jpeg format. Don't worry Gee Dubs... Tabletop Teacher's got your back!

The Philosophy of Ork Kulture
"Wow, I was expecting a diatribe about Sisters of Battle or all male Space Marines but this really made me think. Thanks." - First response to previous post.
This is progress!
I'm still holding fire on talking about the human element of 40K, and meandering through the xenos races. I think talking about Space Marines and Guard is simply a surface level analysis of the diversity and social politics present in the Grim Dark future.
Today the Orks are up for review, being the most universally loved faction in 40K, and perhaps the only alien race created to have 100% support and respect from a fan base. Okay, the table top rules for them fall in and out of favour like a yo-yo, but simply mentioning the green skins has people going WAAAGGHHH!!!
To put it in perspective, consider the Tolkein orcs and orcoids from Lord of the Rings. Whilst people generally respect the story of the franchise, no one has waxed lyrical on the orcs, despite them being the main antagonists in all o…

New Female Astra Militarum/Imperial Guard Kit?
Okay, the title is most definitely click bait, but I've been hoping for this stealth upgrade to the Imperial Guard every since the Necromunda rumours and leaks started last year:
It's not a massive leap of creativity to turn Necromunda gangers into Imperial Guard troopers, and certain people have been asking for more diversity (don't get triggered now, it's just a word) in the Astra Militarum for a long time.
The question is though, can you use the new Escher Gang kit as the basis for an Imperial Guard army?
I think so...
Price
Okay, you're not getting the solid Start Collecting! kit deals, and you'll never get a specialist squad kit (so no heavy/special weapons without conversion). That's nothing new for the Tallarn, Steel Legion, Vostroyons, Vallhalans and Mordion Iron Guard fans though. The Eschers also have it slightly easier with their multi-part plastic kits.
But compare the standard kits:
Escher Gang Kit - £25
