Welcome to Gaia! ::

If your talking to me, I need to get my camra working... But then yea. I'll post the pictures.

Yeah they do look good. Some of the gasmasks could be used on normal guards too, if they arnt attached to the body...

No?

Makes more sense though.

That's an oft made mix up. Perhaps GW shouldn't choose such same-sounding names for quite different forces? Still, the Lost and the Damned are way cooler. Who needs more over the top marines saving the day when you can swamp your enemies in the mutated traitor scum of humanity! Everybody likes plague zombies, except perhaps when they are feeding on your troops...

That was waaay off.

The Legion of the Damned were 21st founding marines lost in a warp storm and thought wiped out as a whole.

They now appear here and there at random, usually in mid battle to assist imperial forces before vanishing back.

Their models are pretty damn old and were just skull and bones heavy marines with some fire here and there. Their rules allowed everything including vehicles to deepstrike into play. They were however restricted like other 21st founding chapters. Limited wargear, and back in 3rd ed their only psychic power for librarians was Fear of the dark under a different name.

And no, someone named Crimson Fist playing the Crimson Fists???? I never wouldve thought. PS Ironic signature.

Seeing as theyre legendary figures and have very ghostly attributes, it wouldnt suprise me if many marines unfamiliar with the history of certain foundings, and a few imperials outside of the adeptus astartes believed they were ghosts or phantoms. So Im sure theyre refered to as fallen, which would add to their reputation, and be quite the mind ******** for anyone on the opposite side of the battle.

Not to bake up this this facinating thread rolleyes about people not being able to tell the differance between The LEGION of the Damned, and The LOST and the Damned, but how many of you out there are aware that Games Workshop has declaired the Lost and the Damned an unoficial army?

This quote can be found at the following web site:

"This list will be no longer valid as of the release of the 2007 Codex: Chaos Space Marines."

I've already emailed Games Workshop, but have yet to get an answer to my questions:

Does the new Chaos Codex have this stuff?
If not, why downgrade the army?
Is the new book incompatable in some way?
Are you people at Games Workshop compleatly insane for discuraging the masses from buying huge lists of models from your entire stock, both 40K AND Fantasy Battles?

.....

And maybe a few questions regarding the questionable breading habits of their parents....

Any way, do any of you wonderfull gamers out there know the answers I seek?
