So I've just been buying ork models I like the look of and slowly piecing an army together out of that since I didn't know any warhams players in my local area, but I just stumbled into a group recently and need to build an actual army now. I haven't looked at the new codex yet and think I wanna go choppy, but I'm open to suggestions. What I've got so far is
>1 mega armored warboss
>30 boyz (20 choppa, 10 shootas)
>5 nobz
>5 stormboyz
>10 kommandos
>3 deffkoptas
>2 deff dreds
>Beastboss on Squigosaur
>4 squighog boyz
Anybody have any recommendations on what to add/drop to turn this schizophrenic mess of minis into an actual army? The nobz and deff dreads are still unassembled do I could build them in any configuration if you have any recommendations on that front too.

Exciting news to all those enjoyers of the popular Warhammer 40,000 Darktide video game (inspired by the popular Warhammer 40,000 miniatures wargame)! From your screen to your tabletop, it's Warhammer 40,000 Darktide: The Miniatures Game!

I am a brit yes. I recently built and painted my latest project (2k necrons) for £388 which is $478. Using discount sellers and ebay wherever possible. It would have much cheaper if I didnt utilise certain more expensive options too.

I take great pleasure in knowing that 10th edition is so bad that it made a bunch of autists come together to try and make their own edition.
Though I fear that >>92578948 may be right, but I hope not. I hope this time it will be different and that something will come out of it.
Remember OPR. That started as a 4chan project. Granted some people find it too shrimplified.
>>
>>92578956
Well that warboss can't join any of those units, you don't have a trukk or a warboss for your nobz, no manz or a beast boss for your squigbros so bully boyz is probably not it. You have something from just about each detachment so I'd probably just use that default detachment, the one we've got before the codex release (I think it's called the waagh tribe) as there's plenty of units that will benefit from it

No idea how you should build those deff dreads, maybe just magnetise them for the time being

>>92578956
you already got a fair amount you've probably got enough to pick up some smaller sized games and get a feel for the rules
then buy model based on the playstyle you enjoy the most, or just fuck rules and buy the cool looking stuff. no good buying things if you end up hating it

for a more real answer a transport or two for the boyz would be a solid start and a squad of gretchins are also auto include currently

It literally wouldn't be a clone if you changed it from male to female because you would have to change an entire chromosome.

Actually this may have changed in the new codex, I know the nob is now included in the unit instead of being a character

Or you just copy Jango's X chromosome and combine it with the original X.
Or make clones that only have 1 X chromosome, tbf it'd result in a fucked up clone with Turner syndrome but still living.

>>
>>92579047
technically you can just remove the Y chromosome and add a second copy of the X chromosome the male would have had

the second X chromosome in humans gets largely inactivated so the effective GENETIC difference between an exact clone of a male and a female clone of said male is extremely small, I don't remember exactly the number, but the genes on the active genes on the Y chromosome are in the few dozens, not in the hundreds or thousands, not even particularly influential ones either
the sexual dimorphism is codified mainly throughout the rest of the genome with the Y chromosome providing the master gene SRY that kickstarts the activation of the genes that then result in the dimorphism

which means that yes, you could hypothetically have a female clone of yourself (and a woman could clone herself with just the added sry put somewhere in her genome and have a male clone of herself)

DEI bullshit notwithstanding
>>
>>92579029
Sounds good, I'll probably focus on war horde. I'd love to go full squighogs and might try that out later down the road, but fuck me I just plain do not like the look of the Kill Rig.

NTA but you've asked a question with several different answers. C'tan shards can be stronger than primarchs or as weak as nurglings. Whole C'tan apparently approached the level of the gods of chaos.

it varies, but they're strong enough to bend reality as of they were gods

Depends
Ctan in M41/42 are shattered. Depending on the size of the shard or the amount of shards gathered they can grow immensely powerful.
Just think that the ctan of the War in Heaven were able to conver the entire Necrontyr race into the Necrons and prosecute a galactic level war.
I'd hazard the guess that a full Ctan is at least an Emperor level of power.

He said he was returning, and even if he wasnt already familiar then Table top simulator is much more fucking cheaper than spending that much money for sNIGGERS.
>>
>>92579176
Yeah that's what I just said, but GW treats these games as a gateway drug into their mainline games and VT doesn't have any game to funnel them into. From a corporate perspective it's a waste of time and money. Hell, the DT game itself is shamelessly lazy because they're unwilling to even make a slightly nicer ogryn for it.

A miserable pile of cosmic farts from the big bang that achieved a semblance of inorganic life, sentience and ability to traverse and manipulate energy and spacetime
They lived mostly as star-leeches, allegedly the slann pushed them back in their galactic gardening project
One of them parasitized the sun of the necrontyr homeworld, causing many of the evolutionary problems the necrontyrs would have with radiations
After being defeated by the slann, the necrontyrs finally discovered the pesky parasitic spacefart that fed on their sun
You see, they're not exactly easy to see because while their essence is huge it's also spread very thin over cosmic distances
But since the necrontyrs are extremely retarded they decided to weaponise it instead of getting rid of it and moving on
They fashioned artificial bodies modelled after the half-forgotten gods from their mythology and then crammed said lightyears spanning hungry farts into a roughly humanoid-sized frame
Needless to say the change of scale must have been most shocking for the until then only barely sentient farts, their densely packed frames now allowed them whole new forms of intellect, individuality, powers and hungers
I also like to believe the shape and hardwiring of the original god-shaped bodies somehow affected the rise of their personalities

Tenth is really mixed, if you dont know what you had its probably fine at best depending on your match ups. but for the combat patrol game mode? its fucking boring and such a shitty excuse to sell a "value" box for.
Combat patrol games will be quicker but they will also be much more mundane.

As for 2000 point games? YMMV, just know 4-5 hour games is within the realms of possibility depending on armies and player error.

Warhammer stores SHOULD offer you a breakdown on how to play.

>>92579174
Is the underrated post. You can do this in many ways to get use to playing. Anything from a big monster or character vs another for a slogging match, playing one unit across aother to get use to line of sight, movement, and charging, or playing a full on practice game against yourself ( I did this with a SM vs SoB combat patrol recently). It helped alot when I was shoring up getting use to the game and playing some combat patrols at the store.

>>92579210
Nah 10th gameplaywise is fine.
It has a bunch of things different which I personally dislike such as free wargear but that doesnt make a game bad so much as listbuilding.

Honestly a lot of the issues with 10th you wont really appreciate until a dozen or so games in.

Not at all. It all comes down to competence as per usual. If the other player is a fucking retard then games will last a long time, but if you know your army its honestly pretty quick, quicker than 8th for sure.

the weirder frontiers as of now are microRNA doing seemingly fucking anything and the opposite of anything, gut microbiota that are so impactful you can treat or cause autism or obesity by feeding someone pills of dried shit, and the clusterfucks of interactions between proteins and genes that will only now be unpacked by 'AI'

it's tiring because people expected some grand cure for cancer or aging or brain problems but those kind of issues are so multifaceted that all we can get into is boring number crunching and the relentless grind of testing anti-ROS-stress substances for, like, the most minimal of benefits

Lol, literally the Dark Eldar are better allies to their weakling kin.
>>
>>92579212
Saim-Hann has been known to get violent with other Craftworlds. Setting aside that they're viewed as temperamental or flat-out barbarian by other Eldar, they're a little unusual because of their clan society. They all ride around on the same Craftworld, but the individual clans may act of their own accord at times.

IIRC a lot of other times when two Craftworlds get into a dispute that's serious enough to go to war over, they will mostly try to settle it through proxies. I know that's come up at least once when Eldrad and another seer were each trying to save their Craftworld by dooming the other's.

I kind of doubt they even have that much communication within a single department, judging by how wildly imbalanced the indexes were from each other.

Typical GW incompetence and greed.
Incompetence because they have admitted they don't play test 40k for shit, like 1 game every 2 weeks, meaning if they do something this shit for their main flagship series, it's just going to be either the same for the rest of the systems or even worse.

And the reason why it is like this because GW doesn't hire more people, or hire more competent people to do the job because half assing this shit is just cheaper for them.
And why do better when the retards still buy it anyway?

Goes back to that initial issue. GW probably still has maybe 1-2 people working on a codex and all codexes are done easily 1 year in advance of their actual release due to printers and shipping. They probably don’t speak to the tards writing the rules.

GW being incompetent and not knowing how to combine ideas that are very obviously strong has always made me think that theres no way the codex writers even play the game, or if they do, the people who write datasheets and stratagems arent the same people.
8th edition GW release the salamanders index that has a stratagem to deal mortal wounds on a 4+ to wound for flamers, and a stratagem to max out flamer shots without rolling, GW also forgets about Aggressors who have 2d6 flamer shots and allows them to shit on anything. Then they release an errata blaming players for "abusing" that strategy.
Or more recently, Necrons get something very similar, Immortals units can be given the cryptek keyword by having a cryptek character, people give them the keyword, then use the stratagem that gives cryptek/canoptek units devwounds.

Theres more examples ive just blanked out after years of this bullshit. But GW has never been able to understand if a ruleset is actually good or balanced or has the capacity for abuse or not. They just try.

>>92579527
>This is GW who hasn’t even got in on digital rules
All codices were published digitally in 8th edition, but that stopped being the standard in 9th edition. They were in on publishing every single thing digitally, and they chose to move away from that. They don't want to publish digitally. They have made the calculation that they're better off focusing on physical publications that funnel people into using their official app, and what free downloads are made available on Warhammer Community are only intended to be supplemental to the paid content.

I liked the old lash of pleasure or whatever the fuck it was called that let you move an opponents unit 2d6 or something. It might have been a spell but anyway people would take 2 characters that let you do it so people would lash units from across the board.

Unit enters a transport
Transport fires their one shot weapon
Is the one shot weapon used up? Firing deck means the vehicle is firing it and not the unit.
What if the unit disembarks and rembarks, can the vehicle fire a second one?

What about the strats that make a copy of a dead unit.
If that unit fired their one shot weapon, does the copy have a new one?

Nobz are best with power klaws this edition, but the kit only comes with 3, but you're an ork player and you can build your own. You can also magnetize your deff dread to be flexible. I usually run 4 klaws but maybe rokkit launchas in dread mob. Get yourself a warboss, trukks, and grots

I sincerely hope this dark mechanicum and trator guard nonsense are both crappy detachments in the new CSM book.

Just like the beast snagga, anvil seige force, and legio cybernetica detachments: utterly forgettable, useless, half baked non-rules that leave the delusional dreams of a "full" dark mech or traitor guard codex dead and buried

Welp, I took Inner Circle to a tourney this weekend and placed in the bottom. Can conclude finally everything that came out of the DA codex is a steaming shit. Realized about halfway through terminators in melee are just garbage defense wise AND damage wise and the detachment doesn't really help with either.
The -1 to wound is nice but its only against shooting so you still die to any actual melee threats. The +1 to wound/rr wound rolls is nice but its reliant on your opponent being a retard and its hardly relevant when all the big guys anyone ever brings either has -1 damage or halves damage, turning all your shit into glorified assault Intercessors effectively. The most useful units in the list wound up being Sternguard because they're fucking Sternguard, and Vanguard Veterans with jump packs because they have Deathwing and can use the stratagems to be annoying and do secondaries (eg 3" deep strike, -1 to wound... but it's hardly relevant when Inceptors functionally do the same fucking thing.)
Oal I think it's just fundamental problems with Marine melee damage- CSM do just fine because they have lethal hits whenever they want, but SM have to jump through hoops to get it and can't get it on terminators at all pretty much. Besides TH & Power Fists going up to str 10, idk what else they ought to change.

They do dev wounds with their shooting, so you can point them at anything and they'll do work. Hordes, elites, big guys, anything really, especially since you can reroll ones against oath targets.
Their melee is actually pretty good too, an extra attack compared to the average marine doesn't sound like much but it really stacks up when you have like Azrael or a Lieutenant stapled to them giving them sustained hits. Pic unrelated

Unfortunately the nobz sprue won't be changed anytime soon. Orks got their token model for their dex, and even have a few resin kits that'd need updates first.
I used to really like the nobz kit. They were a jack-of-all-trades unit that you could run pure melee with choppas+klawz/sawz or pure shooty with kombi weapons.
Now it's just klawz, with kombi weapons not even worth taking. At least their melee is pretty good still.

Tyranids would be fine if they revert some of the points changes from last patch and priced the Swarm Lord/ Hive Tyrant correctly to account for the stratagem nerf finally- they had absolutely no business making lictors & neurolictors so overcosted with how shitty the army is oal at killing things. I'm fine with them sucking at killing stuff if their schtick is 'garbage models good at scoring/fucking with your army a la battle shock.'

Hive Tyrants/Swarm are super overpriced. They could easily go down to 150 for flyrant, 160 for walkrant and 180 for swarmlord.
Lictors honestly arent terrible. 60 points for stealth lone op and you can drop them with free ingress? Yeah they'll fold to anything within 12 and arent going to kill anything unless they magically get to approach a shitty chaff squad with leader but they are very useful and cheap for what they are.

These are cool as hell but GW really needs to think of a better system for these non elite miniatures, maybe give them less detailed models or something because if not you have to blow like $600+ to have like 1000 points of Kroot.

because they literally are clones, they have a set database of strains and they make clones of those, sometimes they mix shit up or add some extra genetic enhancement, but they're cloned

clones end up soulless or unlucky or whatever only if you do the cloning wrong (ie, by relying exclusively on genetic sciences and forgetting the psychic component)
primarchs are, in a sense, clones(+), kriegers are clones, the dark eldar routinely clone themselves to have bodies they can return to upon death, fabius does a similar thing
so clones in warhammer aren't inherently impossible, despite it being taboo in the imperium
the meme stems from ONE infamous instance where the high lords tampered with genetic engineering and cloning to make a whole army where every soldier was a clone of some imperial hero, or a mixture of genetic codes of veterans and imperial heroes, that experiment and that experiment alone ended disastrously due to being nowhere near as effective as the expectations or even worse than normal soldiers seemingly due to bad luck (the "soullessness" people mention in the memetic retelling)

Being able to move over models and ignoring engagement range during your move is just as important.

They don't actually lose that much movement, usually on average you're losing 2 to 3 inches of movement when moving over stuff that's 4 to 5 tall, depending on how close you are, of course.
I don't think FLY needs buffs honestly. It's a great keyword, being able to not be moveblocked is the main reason Bloodthirsters are guaranteed to make a mess.

That's what he does in the lore, it's stupid as fuck that it doesn't translate that way to the tabletop, and (biggest point of all) it was never an issue in the entirety of 9th and every edition before that when that was how fly worked. Yeah, moving through walls makes them faster, but it's still stupidly easy to bodyblock characters like Angron since he has a giant ass base that makes him easy to zone off. It just made the rules a little less retarded that you didn't have to go ALL THE WAY AROUND A BUILDING because the guy you're right next to is like an inch away on the other side of the wall.

Bigger issue is ruins are treated as "infinite height" so it wouldn't change anything.

Honestly them being slightly bigger than infantry sized monsters fuck them more than fly.
Fucking wraiths nearly the same size but can run through walls because whoever the fuck wrote the necron codex can eat shit its been a beast for a few edition but its still stupid.

It was fine if by fine you mean the best movement effect in the game, a keyword that made anything with jump shoot jump literally impossible to interact with, any melee threat with it able to threaten half the board and any unit with a chance to get it would pay whater upgrade cost it was to get it.
It was also a pretty bad simulation. I can only move 12 inches in a straight line but for some reason any five story building in the middle doesn't count, I can just jump over it easily despite models like Angron clearly needing to take off since they're grounded most of the time.
Nah. I can get a buff like making any non-horizontal movement count as less, but if there's 2 fucking buildings between you and me you shouldn't be able to threaten me because you have the funny disable hitbox keyword.

It looks pretty good. More chipping and weathering, I always pick out my rivets in exposed metal.

I think the next things you can improve on are getting stronger freehand and working back over your contrast paint skin colors - your checks are nice and straight but it looks like you just put one layer down and considered that good enough for Orks. Unfortunately it just looks like exactly what it is, thin paint. Good looking, worn down decals and freehand should be strong blocks of the color, then like the metal chipping, you sponge the underlying color back in to give it an old, flakey look.

As for the skin tone, I don't think you need instruction on that, I remember your paint process was originally 100% contrast with no followup work and you've already gone miles beyond that on the blue areas, so just figure out your workflow for doing the same on the skin.

Not sure if you're thinking of the same anon, anon.

My ork skin tone uses a contrast that's diluted into what is essentially a wash. I put that over orruk flesh, and then go back over areas that need brightened up or darker recesses. I've used contrast paint for ork skin on one single model, and never again because it looked shit. Unfortunately for meganobz skin isn't the focal point and is tougher to get right. I'll show a picture of what my ork skin really looks like.
As for the checks, there are multiple layers of white, I just didn't bother to skip over them when doing the wash. I did that for some of my meganobz but not all, as you can see here (this is before attempting damage).
>Good looking, worn down decals and freehand should be strong blocks of the color, then like the metal chipping, you sponge the underlying color back in to give it an old, flakey look.

Sure,using a sponge give a more random appereance to the damage, maybe it's shrapnel from an artillery shell.
For rust it's self explanatory, metal rust, put it around rivets, exposed metal stuff like that, maybe under the scratches you made to give them depth
Oil is the same, specially for the orks. I'm not that good at it, I usually just put a diluted orange under a scratch.

alright, i see what you mean now. No worries, i figured it was just a typo and you meant "sponge rust and oil marks" which turns out was mostly true.
Those look really good. I've gotta say, I don't think ive ever gotten sponging down. The metal parts on the edges are done with a sponge, but it doesnt look nearly as scattered and random as yours do. So, i've gotta ask: how do you do your sponging? is there a specific type sponge you rip up?
As for rust and oil, I'll keep those in mind if my plan doesn't produce the results I want. My current plan for moving forward is to sponge black spots instead of metallic, and then paint metallic in the bigger spots to add depth between the paint and the bare metal. It'll also add a splattered oil effect.

Here's a couple more models I added some scratches to last night. I like scratches, but I think I went overboard with these two. I still need to add the sponge parts, too.

People use sponge when in fact most of us use foam, I got mine from a package where they used as protection. I just dip it in paint (rhinox hide) remove the exces, then I just apply it by lightly tapping.
>>
>>92581339
If youre transporting it, then a couple of these in a for life bag covered by something is super covert and really sturdy.
For storage I would recommend grabbing a glue gun, some polyester foam sheet and customising a storage box. Either big cardboard or the proper plastic boxes. Built one that can contain around 3k points of nids while being orderly, or 6k if I dont give a shit about pouring gaunts in

Actual answer is a character getting a 2+ save and +1 toughness doesnt matter that much since the entire unit exists to eat their wounds.

It looks dumb at first glance but the actual answers going to be because the terminator lords worse than the non terminator lord despite the higher stat profile.
CSM doesnt play terminators, so the lord who can only lead terminators doesn't see play so they reduce his points.
Meanwhile chosen and regular marines are common and regular lords are everywhere.

you mean planet bowling ball where gun lines just blow you up from your deployment zone. The reason people use ruins is because they prevent alpha strikes. If you're using rocks that are houseruled to mechanically function as ruins you're accomplishing nearly the same thing.

Infantry being able to move over terrain more easily than vehicles is an intentional gameplay and narrative element. It sounds like you basically just want to bring a parking lot and are mad that you can't

>>
>>92581820
NTA but I hope you're not seriously implying they moved over the beastmen range over to ToW because you unironically think they're popular and GW needed to "save" them by switching their game. I literally never ever once saw a BoC in my life. Them getting squatted was quite literally the first time I saw any presence for them and even then it was retarded model hoarders whining they'd never get to theoretically use their models in a game now.
>>
>>92582090
orks. i'm tired of just moving models directly through terrain. it's boring.
>>92582086
forgive me anon, I don't adhere to your esoteric understanding of each terrain piece and it's specific role in the game, i just play the game.
Shitposting aside, explain what i'm not getting here. From my understanding, L shaped ruins are just used to hide behind so you don't get shot off the board turn 1. maybe to get some cover from on occasion. The boring part comes from being able to move directly through them during your turn. There's no thought to movement with them.
>>92582157
thanks for actually explaining it. Truth is, I prefer houseruled "ruins" rocks because in my mind it's more fun to play around terrain than through it. it could be a symptom of only playing infantry. I'm just so bored of ignoring terrain.

Speaking of ruins and terrain.
I think non titanic walkers should be able to go through them.
Or if you want to get fluffy have them take like a mortal or something to koolaid man through a wall.

You dont see many melee dreads other than the Grey Knights one and they get away with it mostly because they get to teleport them around the battlefield.
6-8 inch movement is pretty rough when you cant walk through shit but need to go get into melee range.

>>92582245
>A circle doesn't provide the same sort of cover as an L in any capacity, and that just leads to you getting blapped.
See, now i really don't understand what you're saying. hiding behind the rocks gives you the same benefit to hiding behind ruins. your infantry just can't ignore the terrain now. It's not like vehicles have had a hard time because they had to move around the ruins.

He'll finish it, but then the High Lords will succeed in their assassination attempt and he'll be propped up back in his stasis chamber on the excuse that his armor is failing and he needs to rest for a bit, but it's really his corpse and he's dead dead this time.
And the Imperium shatters and falls because the High Lords are retarded cunts and Chaos didn't even have to do anything.
>>
>>92582351
I was afraid giving it to titanic might break like Caenis Rex or something but yea its not like big knights are exactly tearing up the game right now or anything and not being able to move through shit is a big factor behind that.

>Anon you have to announce stock sales as CEO/CFO months in advance.
No you don't. SEC rules on insider trading restrict trading based on perceived-nonpublic information to within a 20 day window after a quarterly report, but that's based on insider trading laws, nothing about the current situation would appy for that (or at least hold up in court), they could easily point to very public information such as market reaction/audience reaction as a reason for sale. There's blackout periods on the sale of new shares and stringent reporting rules around selling your stock, and MOST CEOs, CFOs etc announce sales in advance to avoid the appearance of insider trading, but they are not in any way required to do so nor does not doing so in any way automatically constitute insider trading or any breach of regulations.

well, i can see the issue in our understanding now. in my local area, hardly anyone actually sits inside of ruins. we always sit outside/behind them, unless we're posted on top of the things.
Make your jokes about my group playing ruins wrong, that's just how it is at the store. Ruins are nothing more than rocks that can be moved through and sat on.
this being said, i'll still argue that having some terrain you have to move around, including infantry, makes for a more interesting board. shape your rocks in Ls if you must, the idea is still there.

If they cant fudge the release timeline they'd sell it as close to the release as possible.
Also selling it after the first drop but before any cratering avoids insider trading stigma. Selling it just before the news drops, that IS when you get caught for insider trading. Timing it to coincide/shortly follow, you can get away with it.

Again, this is assuming they even have 'internal bylaws' restricting c-suite sales. Which knowing GW, I fucking doubt. They're a hubristic wargames company who are the kings of a niche market and have survived on inertia for years despite fanbase resentment, i can easily believe they figure nobody would notice, care, or question a lack of such policies especially as again- it is in no way illegal for a CFO to sell stock on the heels of bad news or a dip.

Nobody cares about Custodes you retards, a tiny percentage of your audience getting mad about lore is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It probably has something to do with Shitmar (no confidence in the new edition doing well after Dominion shat itself as hard as it did) or that one anon leaked something about them being forced to phase out resin due to UK's infamous environmental laws and that was real.
Leaning towards the latter because they've had shitty release before that's not so scary, but being pushed out of using resin is a whole other buttfuck I could absolutely see everyone jumping shit over. That shit would be an absolute fucking nightmare to figure out if you're a model company who can't make half your models anymore.

The mass exodus doesnt mean anything yet. A subset of people not buying models for a couple weeks is irrelevant.
The silent majority will be what matters and it depends on which way that pendulum swings. That critical drinker video had massive positive reception so who knows.

Get a fucking grip, anon. Femstodes are disgusting but this is all in your head.
>>
>>92583034
you are insane if you think that anyone except enthusiasts are actually going to pick up 3d printing
I have zero qualms with 3d printing but it's objectively not something for everyone; it's a whole-ass separate hobby that requires a fair bit of technical know-how and upkeep
>>
>>92583077
Im using it purely as a basis for normalfag perception. Its at 906k views, at massive like to dislike ratio (I re-enabled dislikes) and is the most anti femstodes take out there.
Again though, this convo is worn the fuck out. Just play 40k or dont

>a mass exodus of players who are now all spreading the word that 3D printing and rule pirating is the way to go DEFINITELY isn't affecting anything
They're a tiny portion of their customers who don't affect shit because at the end of the day 95% of the sales don't come from the terminally online, they come from retards who don't engage with this shit online at all and don't even know we exist. Look at mtg when they brought in the TWD Universes Beyond shit- players screeched and ree'd almost in COMPLETE UNITY (no split down the middle like female Custodes, EVERYONE but a small handful agreed it was bad for the game) and despite that it still sold well and they even did a victory lap over how well it sold.
Online opinions to throwaway lines in the fluff are hardly anything to spook the people running the company when you retards bitch about that shit everytime something's revealed, there's something crazier going on.

I would love to see James take a hit over this, but the normie/indifferent sphere will barely move in the grand scheme. And yes, I dislike femcustodes despite being a muscle girl fag. Anyone for it is being disingenuous, but the disingenuous ones seem to always end up backed by corporations despite claiming to hate them

Forget 3D printing, custom moulding and plastic injection when?
>>
>>92583688
Its expensive to set up
Might consider doing that when i the site up and running
>>
>>92583688
diy injection molding is too expensive. you are better off doing diy investment casting which is still expensive but within the realm of possibility.

that looks like shit. super grimey icky gross paint jobs look great when they have something to contrast against.
instead of making the entire fucking model GRIMEFEST, you should have focused the grime on certain pieces of armor and then do a cleaner paint job on the rest.

when contrasted against cleaner paintjobs, icky gross mucky paint jobs look even more icky and gross; which is what you're aiming for.
