To clarify, I was talking about making /your dudes/.
My donut steel marine chapter is my own thought experiment, filling in a blanked out niche in the setting. Meanwhile, the first couple of editions of AoS made /your dudes/ Stormhosts self insert bait since mechanics and consequences of Reforging gets to be explored by GW writers but not us. Any free forming in making a custom Stormhost could be rendered noncanon, or worse, giving ourselves a mary sue quirk.
I'll end up painting my collection something like pic related; but I'm privately convinced that some faggot millennial at GW wanted Reforging to be a "meta commentary" about society and the day to day grind. Trying to make /your dudes/ Stormhost feels like your answering a rorschach test (or just self inserting with shallow allegory) instead of approaching a thought experiment inside of a setting.
