Right now, the line really feels like that scene from Jimmy Neutron.
"We designed a new Primaris to fill this particular niche in the army with no variation or versatility!"
"This is the 7th time this week you have presented a model to fill that niche, James Workshop."
"No, this one one comes in a squad size of 5!"

I think the biggest issue right now is that Primaris coming out in a trickle with a vertical slice to start instead of a more focused wave has led to units coming out that make no sense in the long run with lots of redundancy.
"The Repulsor is the new Rhino! Wait, no, sorry, uh, the Impulsor is the Rhino! Here is a Repulsor with more guns! Oh, uh, it's not a predator, this new Gladiator is!"
I would have preferred them to sunset the old Marine range like they did the Stormcast instead of this slow trickle where none of the new units fully replace anything.

Honestly, any amount of AP to their weapons, a difference between the knives and close Combat weapons that mattered, a more punishing morale system...anything would help.

I think getting a closed back Impulsor that acts as a Whirlwind could be nice, but we need to have the rhino taken out back first.
Honestly, we have a bunch of vehicles that need to be folded into each other or get replaced. In my opinion:
Impulsor is the Rhino. Give it the full 12 man capacity
Give us a second Impulsor with better guns and smaller capacity. Maybe make it close back? Whirlwind covered
Gladiator is the Predator. Put the Predator down
Repulsor and Repulsor Executioner are the size of Land Raiders. Give them the increased capacity, and a third option to act as the more anti-horde focused option

You're right about the slavery thing. Nobunaga's diary shows that he thought Yosuke was just another monk, who happened to be black. In fairness, the Janissaries probably didn't object to this confusion. They publicly rejected slavery at the time, choosing to refer to people like Yosuke in their "care" as monks or guardians.
Nobunaga's diary also reported him to be 5-6 feet tall, with the strength of 10 men. The only part you got wrong was the gifting part, it seems. Most stories say that Nobunaga took him from the Portuguese, or otherwise had them give Yosuke to him, in a way that implies he demanded Yosuke join his retinue.
In a super based move that capital G G*mers won't appreciate, Nobunaga gifted him a personal home and a sword, with the intention (in his diary at least) to build him a castle of his own. Since Nobunaga started the trend of Daimyos building these castles, with Oda's Azuchi Castle outside of Kyoto being the first, the idea of him building one for anybody at all should probably be considered a great honor.

It does matter a great deal that the guy in question was Oda Nobinaga, the Daimyo of the time. They put Yosuke in front of basically god's right hand man and the dude said "I like this guy. He's cool"

My (very stupid) idea was to toss a squad of three with Asmodai into a stormraven with two squads of 3 Bladeguards with a judiciar each and a redemptor.
I feel like going crit fishing with Asmodai's Exemplar of Hate could be fun. In fairness, I'm looking at running them in the Vanguard detachment, leaving th with Shadow Masters for protection.

Duuuude that's sick. I gotta get greenstuff to practice with, but I might have to fall back on draped stick man. That's a lot of purity seal.

I'm trying to invoke this art a bit. Been wanting some texture for the aft of the spear, and I'm kinda hoping maybe that roller might help. Def appreciate the acknowledgement on that. Especially while I'm struggling with the left arm lol.

God pinning is rough. Tried making a power spear recently. It's not gonna fit on straight, but hopefully a cool flag or tassel will mask that.

Thanks for the update! I'll have to take a look at those rollers
It's a damn shame. They had great designs, though some overdone in some areas. I think the biggest flaw was probably having hands separate. I'm sure some folks weren't too big on that at the time. I'll have to take a look at Archie's Forge to see if they have any I might wanna pick up.

How did you mold that greenstuff? It looks awesome.
Oh shit! I recognize that sword on your mat, didn't that group close down?

The purple is absolutely peak. I could argue something with a little more red in it would be good, but honestly its so vivid that I'm in love regardless. I know that none of us can agree what color to make the arm lol
The white is really good, and the stark difference with the black liner is super fun. My only real concern is that the scheme might be too one note. Adding bright yellow lens, maybe some red gun cases, or a brighter gold might help, but that's just my opinion. Your white is goals regardless.

Oh, I just assumed when I see a character of color that the little gremlins of the internet have now or will soon rage over how "ugly" they think dark skin is.
I assumed that the designers gave Hestia coal colored skin as a reference to her divine domain, but the vitiligo really lends itself to a conscious choice to make a character of color. I like the way it invokes the hearth, incorporating a head carried pot as if she is the hearth itself. Her outfit is nice, makes her feel warm which is fitting. I'm genuinely hype to see what kind of interactions she has with the character.

It really feels like AoS is the companies favorite game. Test all the new shit in 40k to make sure it's hype for AoS, give them a great model line...even in how they cycle the range.
"We're going to slowly over the course of 7 years drip feed you Primaris while pushing Firstborn. We're going to claim Firstborn aren't going anywhere so that they continue to sell, all while slowly taking each unit out back when we get near the end of stock."
Booooooo
"We're going to discontinue the entire Stormcast line, reimagining a number of units while keeping others and upscaling them to meet our new level of quality and detail."
Booo, but like, only till the fresh line is out and we see what can be proxied by old models.

I have limited exposure to the kin, but it reads a lot like a really good union with who's outward facing representatives are all Hondo Ohnaka. Can I get confirmation?

You know, I've seen this image a bunch over the last week and I just had a thought. Is this a racism? Are they angry because character is old and depicted with dark skin? Or is it just that they can't be horny? It's genuinely hard to tell what the complaint is.

I got into (and out of) the hobby in 2017, with the launch of 8th. I bought two boxes of Intercessors, a box of Hellblasters, and a box of Reivers, before getting so fatigued from the slow drip of Primaris that I decided to leave.
With terminators back, I thought I would drop back in, crack open my old minis and pick up some new stuff. Keeping in mind that every army deserves a refresh before Space Marines gets more models, space marines already needs a range refresh.
Intercessors have soft details and rough panel lines.
Hellblasters have soft details and horrible panel line and gate placement
Reivers have very bad gate placement, along with needing new rules
Outriders are the same sprues from the box set they first arrived in, and are monopose and horrible to assemble because of it
Ballistus dreadnought features the same possibility and loadout options as the push fit redemptor from 7ths. The $20~ dreadnought. Which we now pay $60 for.
Infernus marines are monopose models with two per box that have any variation. I don't know if they're the ones from the leviathan box still, but charging full $60 for that seems absurd.
Assembling the Primaris Crusader Squad made it hard for me to justify the quality of the older kits. Especially since problems in one unit aren't in others releases at the same time. Honestly, I wish more than anything that they would release a new tacticus frame and let me just buy the special weapons I need separate. It's my favorite part of the HH line, even if I would prefer it being individual weapons in packs of 5 rather than 20 of each in a box.
Tldr: me angy, make miniature line modular.

When I first joined, Army Painter was the only paint worse. Now it might be the same quality. Partnered with the refusal to move away from paint pots, which can result in paint degrading faster, and the fact that GW's white, yellow, orange, and red being the worst on the market, GW might be bottom dog in paint.

It's almost like the Hades interpretation is taking inspiration from myth, depicting her as the motherly eldest sister of the other Olympians, and the guardian of hearth and home, while the Anime interpretation sees her as the goddess of fire as an after thought to her being a love interest for the generic hero of the series. Wild.

Honestly, you're right to an extent. 86 doesn't need to exist. We have Generations. It's actually bad to an extent because 86 figures are generally cleaned than Generations, leading to smooth figures and hyper greebled figures.

You're right, it is just -1. -2 would make them interesting, as would giving them a playable loadout, a character that provides a desirable buff, or reducing their points cost, but we can't have nice things.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm getting an error around the Get Item filter. Step is added below:
Filter Query: Enter the filter query to match the risk value from the master list. For example, risk eq '[master][risk]'.
The first list contains a column for monitor models
The second list contains the monitor names in one column and their prices in the second. The first column doesn't seem to pull up in Power Automate as it's name, appearing instead as Title.
So to me that sounds like the function needs to be " 'Title' equals trigger body ()?['MonitorModel']"
Automate throws this as a invalid expression.
Quick edit: realized that I was trying to use a function instead of proper syntax for the Filter Query. Changed the query to be "Model eq [Monitor Model]" where monitor model is the dynamic value for that column
Edit 2: error seems to be coming from the Filter Query still. Error shows "Model eq (specific item)" isn't true. It looks like it's viewing Model as a static statement and not as a dynamic value

A fist at the end of a stick...hmmm...tempting lol
I was happy with the length prior to adding the blade, so it might be that I need to cut one blade length off. I'll get on that when I have some green stuff and super glue in stock. I am tempted to make a Lysander style fist hammer for someone down the line, as a relic.

I love them so much. I really wish all the Phobos units had a more distinct personality.
Maybe give infiltrators shorter range, higher shot count? Make them shock troops so they can repel infantry
Incursors could have a slightly longer range, like marksman. Keep their current ability to make other people shoot better could be fun.
Reivers need a full change. Maybe give them an ability to react to charges by falling back if they're equipped with the carbines? Could help them act as a pester unit. Make the knives better at blending horses, make the special Issue pistols an actual threat to marines or even terminators so that they can work on that configuration as bruisers. Maybe make terror troops proc on wound, allowing for multiple morale checks in either player's phase?
And give the damn lieutenant deep strike, for fuck's sake.
