I wad worried the red would be too light during the video but it turn out amazing once again! Love the runner-style prosthetic, looks unique and fit for combat. The pauldron trim color as a company marker thing is something I never really liked, but your roll being 8 got you the most complimentary choice 😂 Doom Eagles are next then, if I remember right they had some weird and interesting lore, but I could remember wrong. Also hey, fellow 90s kid, I figured as much bit didn't want to assume. '96 here so a few years behind.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

I agree, sometimes you can get some sorta ugly combos, but with the scope of marines being so fast, having a rainbow color system for a rainbow color faction makes the most sense logistically lol. And yes, Doom Eagles next up! 😁

[@notknightbean]

as an iron hands fan, I sum up the iron hands successors as such: iron lords are iron hands but imperial fists red talons are iron hands but flesh tearers star dragons are iron hands but salamanders sons of medusa are iron hands but black templars brazen claws are iron hands but blood angels steel confessors are iron hands but dark angels Iron Fists are iron hands but iron warriors Knights of Byzantium are iron hands but ultra marines there are also several unconfirmed ones like the storm wardens (add white scar) and the emperors hands (add a lot of black templar). I could probably find more if I dug around enough.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Reading this list I have a lot of projects in the Iron Hands sphere by sheer coincidence. Hm. 🤔

[@notknightbean]

@@TheLichsLaboratory well Iron hands are my favorite chapter, even if they get no lore. the idea of tragic, stoic, and deeply wrathful mechanical warriors is a fun one for me. and I'd love to discuss it more, cause nerding is just fun.

[@sirkelendor5429]

"I dont wanna hear about how pluto isnt a planet" actually i think its planet status has been given back to it, as in order for it do be a moon(it was previously classified as a dwarf moon) it has to orbit a larger celestial body in proximity. Pluto has no larger body to orbit, unless you count the sun, so it couldnt be a moon.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

BIG IF TRUE 👀

[@epicgamer1910]

I don’t believe Pluto has ever been classified as a moon. The classification it was put into in 2006 and currently has is dwarf planet. This classification means it orbits a star and is massive enough to make itself spherical, like a planet, but is not able to ‘clear its neighborhood,’ meaning it doesn’t have the gravitational pull to clear all objects in its orbit. This definition was created because of the discovery of Eris, a planet-like object of similar size to Pluto. It was initially described as the ‘tenth planet.’ No new planet had been discovered in 75 years. There was no hard definition of what made something a planet and the International Astronomical Union had specific guidelines on the naming of small astronomical bodies but not new planets. This led to some disputes about the matter. Astronomers were also confident more such objects would be discovered (which is true; another six were) and questioned why Ceres, a large spherical object in the asteroid belt didn’t count when Pluto did. This all led to the IAU inventing the designation of ‘dwarf planet,’ essentially because otherwise they’d have to increase the number of planets and they found that ‘clearing the neighborhood’ thing in common. The distinction doesn’t actually mean much from a strictly scientific perspective, pretty much just existing to resolve the aforementioned disputes and so the general public doesn’t have to memorize seventeen planets in the Solar System. This is way longer than anybody probably cares to read, but yknow, I gotta use those astronomy classes for something.

Yeah - bash us long fangs. I was born before Warhammer was a thing. I was 15 years old when I got into Warhammer in my youth. That was during SECOND edition. The game now has 10 editions under it's belt. I got back into the hobby in 2011 - when 5th edition was in full swing. It would take some years before 6th edition rolled around. What I'm saying is: Don't come at me with your youth. I was there when Horus killed the Emperor. (But really it's insane that 6 editions happened in 13 years - while from 1987 to 2011 they only had 5 editions - I'm not sure "newer is always better honestly" - but corporations selling plastic crack is always the best in their eyes.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Pluto can't be the 9th planet. If people want to count it as one it has to be 10th because then Ceres is the 5th planet and everything else goes up by one. It's bigger than Pluto anyway, and like Pluto it's hangin out in an orbital path with like several billion buddies of various sizes. It was even considered a planet for longer, before we could detect the rest of the asteroid belt.
