My local nerd chat group has several players looking to split the Dominion box, but every one is “I get the orcs, you take the Sigmarines.”
Settle this like men. the biggest lad gets most of the orks, the second largest lad gets the rest, the smallest boy gets the smegmarines

Something about the design of SC makes them really boring. I can't be bothered to like or dislike them, I think it's lightnings being shoved everywhere and the skinnyfat torsos their armor used to have since the chunkier models like Paladins/whatever the new heavy armor SC guys look better.

I will admit when the SC aren't painted like Custodes, they become INFINITELY more appealing. I've seen one of the official... not-chapters? that are turquoise, those looked amazing, others in more muted metals (silver and brass), others in odd stuff -- one was a Lapis Lazuli, like, Ultramarine blue with streaks of gold in the armor. That was amazing, but I haven't been able to find it since seeing it once on Plebbit.

Custodes still look damn good in gold with red. They look even better when they're painted to look like Marble or black and brass or what have you, but they can at least make the gold work. Sigmarines, I dunno about it. We haven't seen too much of the Primaris Sigmarines. Hopefully they're a bit better.

... Of course, if I get the boxed set, I'll be painting mine like Blood Ravens. Red armor + bone shoulderpads with black trim.

I plant on getting the sigmar box, I'll probably find something to do with the stormcasts. The anvils of helden hammer or knights exelsior probably. But the orks are what I want.
 
I like the dominion box, by which I mean I like the kruleboyz. But the Snakebite battle box that's supposed to drop the next month seems like a better way to get some new Ork sculpts without having to deal with half the box being sigmarines.

Does anyone know if there's any fantasy/AoS novels worth reading?
Only ask cause I'm getting a little tired of just reading 40k novels at the moment and I'm started to get a little more interest in the old fantasy lore/setting and AoS albeit to a lesser extent.

The Malus Darkblade series, starring a dark elf so murderously violent even the daemon that's half-possessing him is on the verge of telling him to tone it down at times, and so arrogant he thinks he can boast to a city guardsman about breaking the one law in the city to his face and get away with it scot-free, and yet intelligent enough to treat his followers well because good help is hard to find, especially for a druchii.

When it comes to the whole Primaris debate, why can't Primaris Marines just be perfected Thunder Warriors? Like say, Cawl had 10K years to fix the problems the original Thunder Warriors had, then they were rolled out just around the time that the project was finished and Cawl had the first batches of them ready? There was no need for them to invent new, STRONGER marines, when quite frankly, we already had that with the Thunder Warriors, and fixing their flaws would have been a logical thing for the Imperium to do while the regular Astartes were being pushed to the limits by the stresses of the 41st Millennium.

The entire Cawl thing was just really badly implemented. GW wanted to bring out new models, naturally they're a model company first and foremost. So made new models and the lore guys had to come up with a backstory for them, and my god was it dumb. Some random Tech Priest just made superer super soldiers. Not only that he even made them superer weapons and superer armours.
They didn't particularly care about the existing lore (thunder warriors, the cursed founding, fabious bile, the mechanicus's hatred for innovation etc.) they just wanted some rushed backstory for their new plastic models.
Now Black Library has been working their asses of to make up for it. Sadly then you end up with things like Cawl literally being around since before the heresy and actually being several people's minds fused together into one body (to try and explain why he is both a expert at biology and weaponry something that is established to not be a thing with the Mechanicus having distinct ordos). But definitely they've retrospectively fixed the bigger issues for the most part. It feels far less random and out of the blue now.

Well I think weirdos like me who got really deep into the lore are probably the exception. Most people like playing the table top or painting the minis and don't really care much about the finer details of the lore, they're happy with maybe a paragraph or two of backstory.

There is no better feeling then having Mephiston fly across the map and then deleting an enemy warlord.
