I don't know why, but I feel that Tome Keepers generally have the best Chapter Symbol created by Games Workshop. For this reason, I obtained a couple of decals from the White Dwarf magazine (and some pre-heresy Word Bearers decals for contrast) that I will use for my homebrew Space Marines Chapter. There Primaris, heresy models and old Space Marines will live together!

That looks sick love the bone armour good job.

Really like the style of showing how it's done with both an airbrush and a drybrush side by side. So many people just say "or use a drybrush" and for beginners that isn't in the slightest bit helpful. Looking forward to more videos!

I think it's pretty awesome that GW released a transfers sheet with WD. Reading about the Tome Keepers, and I like the idea that each carries a personal book that they pen their own journey until "His Book is Closed." Reminds me of Game of Thrones, "His Watch Has Ended." Myself, I'm compulsive to particular details, so I'm likely to ensure EVERY Tome Keeper would have a little book on their model. lol

@@RookieBrushes indeed. I´d definitelly like to start with Kill Team some time. But I wait for a new version of this game. Hopefully they make one soon, now that they release so many new versions of the other core games. I find the current version a bit frustrating and confusing for getting into the game... with all the different books (old rulebooks, but since Indomitus - new datasheets and army codices). I´d like to have a easy understandable way to start with that and not to many thinking about the rules and combining the old and new stuff.^^ But I´d rather start with the skyrmish version of Kill Team, than with 40k. I see more advantages in there for me... smaller units, more options, more character in the units, no need to buy lots of stuff to build whole armies, saves money, faster and smaller games etc. I think Kill Team could be the better option for me starting the game, than the big 40k game.
