>>92623772Custodes of course :^)
>>92623772The Imperium of course -_-
Why did they stop making sector imperialis terrain?
Vindicators seem sick for 175 pts.
Awoo with me sisters!
Given the Tau's weakness in melee why doesn't the Imperium just send a bunch of melee-focused regiments like the Brontian Longknives at them?
>>92623772honestly, as faggy as they are i believe the grey knights have the better lore
>>92623824Because the Tau have long range guns and mobile mechsuits
>>92623824because they will be shot down before they reach melee range
>>92623824If Orks can barely get into melee with the T'au what makes you think guardsmen can?A reminder that the War of Dakka featured trillions of Orks and they still ultimately lost to Farsight.
>>92623803Vindicators are good as fuck, I have no idea how they aren't used more. The demo cannon can put a serious dent into just about anything.
>>92623824I actually liked when they gave Dredd the chest armour in the movie. Made no sense to only protect your shoulders from bullets and knives.
>>92623824Kevlar vests aren't effective against knifes, you should go see if you can stab a cop.They also have Kroot, so make sure it's an officer with an attack dog.
Finally managed to get some free time and go back to hobbying. Gonna paint this boy next after his great performance against Tyranids in a game.What are (YOU) working on lads?
>>92623854why would anyone win against farsight? he's like the one cool tau
>>92623824>why doesn't the Imperium just send a bunch of melee-focused regiments like the Brontian Longknives at them?
someone explain to me why the people making cad models for 3d printers don't split models into a bunch of smaller chunks. you would think that it wouldn't be a problem for 3d printing and could even reduce the need for supports.
>>92623887they do though?
>>92623800Because it didn't sell.
>>92623854non-canon.
>>92623870My TyranidsFinished touching up my Hive Tyrant yesterday, cleaned him off a little bit this morning (I'm debating if I should try to give him Toxic Miasma in his vents or not since his seem smaller than the modern plastic ones and I'm not sure how good it would look, but I love how he's come along otherwise) and have just been working on conversions and the like since then to take a break from painting.
>>92623800Because you didn't buy it.
>>92623870Started working on this guy but havent been able to continue for a couple days back. Ill try and get him more finished this sunday.
>>92623906Very canon.
Die, demon scum.
>>92623772>What army or faction has the best background lore?Gorgymorgy :D
Death to the tau.
I will assemble and paint my models tomorrow
>>92623913So is Farsight becoming a Khorne worshipper or what?
>>92623913Those are some odd looking orks that forsythe is stomping on there........
>>92623954No you won't.You should do it today, you might not wake up, and imagine if your family discovered all your unpainted shit?

>>926239744got me pic
Across any editions, what were your top five rules?
>they added space dwarveswhat the fuck
>>92623996It's okay, they made them gay, trans, and shit
>>92623979Should 40k be more like Helldivers?
anyone here ever nutted then started painting right away?
>>92623976Some swedes literally made one.
>>92624021I usually jack off before I start painting, makes me more relaxed
>>92624017how can something be more like something that is already a copy of the something?
>>92624021nobody here has touched a woman sexually in their life and that's a good thing
How long before Brothers of Silence
They hate me. They honestly fucking hate me specifically.

>>92624032Idk but I've seen enough posts about Warhammer ripping off Warcraft/Starcraft to think that it might be doable

>>92623959Khorne tried twice to corrupt him. And twice he failed.Phil Kelly confirmed that the Arthas Molech incident was engineered by Khorne and Tzeentch to turn Farsight into their alien Horus.

>>92624044I was going to grab it as well but waited too long. Oops. Have to check one of my FLGS that sell at full price to see if they still have it. I knew they had one for ages sitting on their shelves

Why is GW erasing our history? Why can't I buy based first born? Why am I forced to buy tranny Primaris?
>>92624063oh look it's the same braindead faggot who pretends the CEO and lead designer saying the game was inspired by 40k and starship troopers doesn't count
>>92623909>>92624107>>92623905I could never buy sector imperialis stuff because it was always SOLD OUT FUCK YOUASDFA
>>92624033Speak for yourself loser. I have a wife and two kids.
>>92624092>>Inferior technology compared to all of their enemiesAre you talking about the T'au? Because that's not true. Gathering Storm 1 says that the T'au are technologically superior to the Imperium.One of the recent short stories says that T'au have better sensor technology than the Imperium.The T'au stealth technology is so advanced that the Deathwatch ships and teams use it in their operations.Also, they invented Warp travel way faster than mankind.
>>92623803Vindicators were disgusting at 195. At 175 I may have to take a break for a while until they get hiked up a bit. They should be 215-220. The only reason they don’t get run a lot is cus they’re hideous.
>>92624146That T’au have better stuff on average but the Imperium’s top end stuff still outclasses them.
>>92624135>kidsMy condolences
>>92624147naw, you are more hideous
>>92624165Anti-natalist trash.
>>92623870Im making some green flocked bases for some terrain. They need to dry now before their second coat of flock so I'm taking a break.
>>92624063RIP all the sci-fi IPs I liked. At least the Dune movies turned out ok.
>>92624159DAoT =/= ImperiumThey can't replicate the DAoT advanced technology. Heck, fuck that. I can even contest you on it. The recent Guardsmen codex says that the IG tanks are STCs from the DAoT. You know, like the Leman Russ whose formations get dumpstered by a single Hammerhead. Barring the single superweapons, the Imperium armies don't have anything to upset the T'au superior technology on the battlefields.
>>92624126>erasing?
>>92624165faggot
>>92624182Yeah, scifi is in a fucking dire place. Even Helldivers is pretty fucking dire the moment you realize the fermented fish-huffing swedish fucks that run it barely know what they're doing.
>is actually fun to play unlike the main game>diesThis fucking keeps happening. They are killing kill team right now. I swear the main 40k table top is like ass cancer.
>>92624146>One of the recent short stories says that T'au have better sensor technology than the Imperium.Given that the Imperium has psykers which can literally detect peoples souls that seems fairly unlikely.>The T'au stealth technology is so advanced that the Deathwatch ships and teams use it in their operations.So in other words, the Imperium and the Tau are now equal in their stealth tech. Also, the Imperium using it on their ships puts them leagues ahead of the Tau, who only use it on their battlesuits IIRC.>Also, they invented Warp travel way faster than mankind.This is blatantly untrue, the Imperium was travelling through the warp when the Tau were still banging rocks together as a stone age civilization. If it wasn't for the warp storm, the Tau would've been primitives exterminated by the Imperium without a second thought.Also, in pretty much every way the Imperium has superior technology to the Tau. Oh, you built a Riptide? That's cute. Meet an Imperator Titan. Oh, you have pulse rifles? Adorable. We have volkite weapons. The truth is, the Tau aren't the "advanced tech faction", the Necrons, Eldar, and Imperium already have that cornered. They aren't even the "elite soldier" faction, the Space Marines and Eldar do that better as well. The only thing notable about the Tau is how...normal they are. They're the conventional faction to contrast with the weirdness of all the other factions. They don't use space wizards, they don't have massive mechs with super-science, they don't have endless hordes to throw at the enemy. They're just a regular-ass army.
>>92623772>stripesI am sick and tired of loyalist wearing my culture like a costume
>>92624105it's a shame they will fall for the black cock meme, almost as detrimental as the slapchop paint meme
>>92624227You stole that culture from orks anyways, autistic cucks
>>92624241*kultur
>>92624227Then stop being a clown.
>>92624200>They can't replicate the DAoT advanced technology.Doesn't really matter, does it? Cause here's the thing, an Imperator Class Titan is better than anything the Tau can produce, and the Imperium actually does produce Imperator Class Titans on the regular from their forge worlds. Also, Tau vehicle technology such as Hammerheads and Barracudas aren't really considered superior to their Imperium counterparts.

>>92624237>covert mutt postingInto the oven with you.
>>92624217The difference being the Tau can manufacture 50,000 new riptides if needed. The Imperium can't make new Imperators.
>>92624182Call of Duty, I kneel before you.
>>92623979>tempestian scionics>posting an alpha legion game
>>92624216How are they killing Kill Team
>>92624254I wouldn't say the Imperium produces them "on the regular". Unless there's been a retcon, I remember reading a long time ago that it takes around a thousand years to manufacture an Imperator-Class titan because a lot of the technical knowledge has been lost.
>>92624105>one chance at living>live in the same planet as leggy blondes
Stop talking about gay tau and start talking about cool factions.
>>92624217>Given that the Imperium has psykers which can literally detect peoples souls that seems fairly unlikely.Psykers are nonstandard in their abilities and the Imperium relies on technological sensors in their armiers, not psykers. You already knew this which makes you intentionally retarded here.>So in other words,Not other words. Deathwatch forbids the use of alien technology in other factions. They won't share whatever they have with other Imperials.>This is blatantly untrue,It's true. The T'au are barely 10K years old and have developed a functional Warp drive. The rest of the line is irrelevant to the point. What is this argument even? >in pretty much every way the Imperium has superior technology to the Tau.A big NO on that. The Imperium is inferior technologically wise.>Meet an Imperator Titan.You are citing titans against the alien faction with the most fleshed out titan killer weapons. Isn't that kinda dumb?>Tau aren't the "advanced tech factionThey are!Because they are superior to the Imperium and unlike the Necrons and Aeldari they are advancing rapidly. >They aren't even the "elite soldier" faction, the Space Marines and Eldar do that better as well.Dude, come on. Canonically, T'au infantry can handle Marines and match them shot to shot. And their sergeants are described as being as skilled in warfare as MARINE CAPTAINS.That's not mentioning the suits which annihilate marines.The funny thing. I have the receipts. I can screenie and copy-paste everything I said >The only thing notable about the Tau is how...normal they are.No, you retard. They are noted as PER THE FLUFF as being the faction whose firepower is second to none. They are not sending their best here.
>>92624282>The Imperium can't make new Imperators.They totally can though. The Imperium makes new Imperators all the time from their forge worlds. And keep in mind, the Imperium has like, a million worlds, while the Tau only have maybe 1,000 at most if they're lucky. In all likelihood, the Imperium probably has more Imperator class Titans than the Tau have mechs total.
>>92624309You can start by posting some.
>>92624216>playing the ass version of Epic. Just play NetEA anon, its far more widely played, or NetEpic Gold if you want all the fun rules of Epic Space Marine. NetEA: https://www.net-armageddon.org/NetEpic: https://netepic.org/army-books/I don't know of anyone wanting to continue playing Epic 40,000, its so weirdly abstracted.
>>92624254HAHAHAGet real. I just told the other guy about titans vs T'au.The T'au have Stormsurges, the FW suits/mechas, the upgraded tiger sharks, and the Mantas.Even even their standard tank, the Hammerhead , has been known to take out titans.That's ignoring that titans are too slow to handle a mobile army like the T'au.
>>92624294The latest batch of teams are just 40k squads and they made so few that they sold out in 2 minutes. Mostly to people who wanted the 40k squads, who then proceed to put the rulebooks, and paraphernalia needed to actually play kill team on ebay.
>>92624315You have managed to cheapen both titans and the tau with this post
>>92624201They will literally be removed by next edition at this rate.
>>92624326Now I'm sad. I used to have that Chenkov model, as well as an entire army of Valhallans that I lost in a house fire.
>>92624315>In all likelihood, the Imperium probably has more Imperator class Titans than the Tau have mechs total.Get this man some meds, asap!You know that every Fire Warrior that completes a 4 year tour duty is entitled to get a suit? And that there are BILLIONs of fire warriors?
>>92624201I used to think they'd leave tacticals alone in terms of datasheets because you can more or less buy HH tacticals and use those but after I remembered how well Forge World and Citadel get along, I think they'll straight up delete all the remaining kits next edition.
>>92624347whatever helps you perpetuate your odd troon-esque self-victimization I guess
>>92624124You know, I've never put into words nor really found a reasonable explanation for it, but the first and perhaps only reaction I get from slav girls' faces is angry disgustsomething about the way the cheeks frame their eyes and smile, it's uncanny, like it's intrinsically hiding dishonesty, it gets to the point where it overrides even the simplest use of a slav girl as masturbatory material, and I'm sure it's not just racism, my dick finds no problem even with races I genuinely hateis this feeling or something akin to it what mr.lovecraft felt when looking at italians?
>>92624355forgeworld doesn't make any tacticals anymore
>Stompa is still 800
>>92624314>against the alien faction with the most fleshed out titan killer weaponsThe Tau have never destroyed an Imperator Class Titan in all of their lore. The only Titans they've had to face so far have been Scout Titans and Warlord Titans. >Because they are superior to the Imperium and unlike the Necrons and Aeldari they are advancing rapidly.lmao, what tech advances have the Tau came up with recently? Rail rifles...oh wait they never issued those to every fire warrior like they were supposed to. But maybe they made a new battleship to handle Imperium battleships...oh wait, nope, their battleships are still closer in size to Imperium cruisers.The only thing the Tau have really invented lately are a couple of new mechs, and their mech technology is still inferior to Imperium Titans. Meanwhile, the Imperium has had Cawl, pulling 100,000 new Space Marines out of his ass alongside new bolters, new safe plasma weapons similar to pulse weapons, new ship navigation and sensor technology, etc.>They are noted as PER THE FLUFF as being the faction whose firepower is second to none.Imperium basilisks and Necron...everything, would REALLY disagree with that statement.

What an absolute asshole of a company.
>>92624379>The Tau have never destroyed an Imperator Class Titan in all of their lore. The only Titans they've had to face so far have been Scout Titans and Warlord Titans.You don't know that. There have been a number of legios deployed against the T'au. There was never full accounting of all the titan types used against themAnd that doesn't counter the fact that among the alien factions, the T'au have the largest arsenal of titan killer weapon systems.>lmao, what tech advances have the Tau came up with recently?A new titan killer adaptation (picture related)Suits powered by a Warp crystal. The perfected Slipsteam Warp Drive.Among others things mentioned in the recent lore.>pulling 100,000 new Space Marines out of his ass alongside new bolters, new safe plasma weapons similar to pulse weapons, new ship navigation and sensor technology, etc.And all of it are shit compared to T'au tech. The new Primaris tank doesn't even have real grav!>Imperium basilisks and Necron...everything, would REALLY disagree with that statement.Your opinion doesn't matter. That's how they are described in the lore. You can't outshoot the T'au.

>>92624450NTA but out-shooting the Tau accounts for range, as in long-distance firefights with cover and ranged warfare.Necron Weaponry is explicitly described as being the most powerful and dangerous weaponry to face, far exceeding the Tau's technology, their ranged arsenal is simply shorter-ranged than the firearms of the Tau and so requires more of them to close in on them before it attains maximum efficiency. Which, given they are Necrons (teleporting and self-repairing living metal skeleton robots), is not nearly as difficult as it might sound. Necrons don't need to 'out-shoot' the Tau, because when they close the distance (and they will) it turns into a slaughter.
>>92624447https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/venerable-dreadnought-armour-panels
Are Stormspeeders worth taking? Which version has the most utility? Hammerstrike stripping cover seems pretty useful. Of course the main issue is what are you giving up by taking one.
>>92624519No, but I can see the length of their arm and the length of the sword. That is you maximum choppin' range, and it doesn't look like it extends beyond those fins on the bottom of the jetbike. Therefore it would be better to use those fins for chopping, while you concentrate on flying and shooting.

>>92624201The shooting Terminators and scouts in that photo are the Primaris replacements for the old terminators and scouts. They will probably make a vanguard veteran upgrade sprue for a killteam box and stop selling the old vanguard vets Same with Death Company. I think their plan now is to just make primaris replacements for all the old kits but not call them anything new like they did for the sternguard. All remaining firstborn will be moved to the Horus Heresy or Horus Heresy II: The Scouring when they start making those book.

>>92624107Every time I get the inclination to buy some actual "official" nice looking terrain I go online and look at the prices sending me straight back to my board full of crap I threw together
>>92624608That artwork may hint that the Tau are more overextended militarily than they let on. That fire warrior looks kinda elderly. Are Tau so pressed for manpower that they are now sending old men to the frontlines?
>>92624560From the Tau'ish perspective they're basically Gondor in LOTR. >Enemies consists of hordes of enemies (Imperial Guard), with the occasional genetic monstrosity (Space Marines), and every now and then the enemy brings an Oliphant (Titans)>The enemy is lead by a dark lord known for their persuasive abilities and dark magic>When that doesn't work, the enemy turns to their dark magic (Pysker/Blanks, Chaos)>The enemy is known for their heavy industry which scars the landscape>Their only hope for survival is an alliance of the races>The more scholarly Gondor has to call upon the more savage and warlike Rohan (Kroot) for aid
>>92624604>are the Primaris replacements for the old terminators and scoutsno they aren't you dumb faggot, they're literally the exact same terminators and scouts just scaled correctly, they have no primaris keywords
>>92624495nah necromunda is more narrative and random, much more of a beers and pretzels game, kill team is more tactical and balanced. They're both super fun for different reasons.
>>92624463What the fuck am I looking at?!?
>>92624626>Are Tau so pressed for manpower that they are now sending old men to the frontlines?Can't tell if a shitpost or not
>>92624485they're knights bro
>>92624608lmao
>>92624626No. If anything their planning of the sixth sphere of expansion seems to suggest that they have more reserves than they know what to do with.
>>92624626That's your brain on coomer art.T'au skin is dry, rough, and produces little moisture. They are all wrinkly.
There is not a single faction in the game that fears the arrival of the SM.
>>92624543For the points, you’d be better off taking a gladiator. That said, stormspeeders are definitely playable even if their not strictly optimal. They won’t be taking on heavy tanks one on one, but they can flexibly harass infantry.
>>92624635>>92624653>>92624654Damn, look at all the Taufags who rush to the defense of their fictional army the moment someone might even hint that they aren't absolutely dominating the setting.
>>92624618Oh so all HH plastic stuff is Citadel miniatures? Explains why solar auxilia tactical command had its soul extracted down to the last drop.
>>92624653The only races that would even be able to be conscripted in the first place are auxiliaries anyways, Fire Warriors have 28 year-long service terms and most of them aren't even eligible for retirement, realistically the closest thing to retirement a Fire Warrior might get is getting sent to the rear as a drill sargeant.
>>92624673No. I am pointing out that you are a coomer brain.
>>92624673>Makes a /pol/ shitpost>Gets called out on it>Gets defensive and pretends he was pretending to talk about the setting
>>92624692Because I said a Tau looks old? Seems like you're the one who has coomer art on the brain...
>>92624681plastic = citadelresin = FW
>>92624636Right, and generally knights would ride horses and be seated, at most, 15 hands up, so their arse would have been about head and shoulders height compared to what they were charging into (given how western medieval warhorses are the equivalent of todays ponies). If your enemies are right below where your waist is then they're at an idea height o hack and slash at round their head with whatever weapon you choose to carry. Jetbikes, now there you're going to want to be a good 2-3 metres off the ground unless you've a burning desire to be turned into a smear across the landscape, and therefore most enemies will be out of chopping range when you are seated in your sky-chariot.
>>92624658Eldar fear the arrival of every enemy faction.
>>92624596same reason why bad moons became the posterboys of orks for a while around the same time: the 'eavy metal painted display armies are very small, rarely more than 1 unit of each kind, but at that time GW changed the scope of the promotional pictures it was taking for its codexes, the shots were to be bigger and bigger, but instead of painting more models to the eavy metal standard they relied on the studio's lower quality painted armies that were usually meant for apocalypse shots but then the armies also received new models and they had to be painted under this new colour scheme instead of the normal one, so it initiated a vicious circle where the original scheme was practically erasedorks managed to walk back in it solely because they got a significant range refresh that allowed them to paint the new models in the old scheme rather than just bad moons
>>92624696>Suggesting the Tau may be over extended militarily is somehow "/pol/ shitposting"You do realize 40k isn't real right? Why are you so pressed about your faction being criticized? It's not that deep my brother in Christ.
>>92623870I finished this. >>92624257Awesome work, love the highlights.
>>92624681Sick of GW replacing custom banners with fixed designs and then replacing that with dudes holding a bunch of junk up on a stick. I want flags. I wont even do it well but I still want to.
>>92624705>>92624636TLDR? Bring a fucking poleaxe at least, give yourself a bit of reach to chop at people.
>>92624685T'au dudes live between 40 years and 60 to 80 with medical aid. The T'au are youthful all their lives except the last final years of their lives that's when the effects of rapidly advanced aging manifest. So from the average T'au fire warrior, you can expect 30+ years of service. Elderly fire warriors can retire to paradise worlds like Au'taal or join councils as advisors.
>>92624721I don't care if its canon that its red, to me Ork blood is green.
>>92624698All T'au look old because their skin is wrinkly. You saying otherwise means that you are addicted to T'au smut.
>>92624737Maybe if I can find some of that I’ll try it next time.
Emperors' Children Index when?
>>92624723Anon you can just use the foil trick for banners.
>>92624738No, it means I don't play Tau or really look at their art at all. The fact that your mind immediately jumps to the conclusion that everyone looks at coomer art sounds like some serious projection to me, my guy.
>>92624759Bullshit. Prove it.
>>92624754Wouldn't that be really fragile
>>92624762You can't prove a negative, my brother in Christ. Didn't they teach you that at university? You did go to university, right?
>>92624754>Catalogwhere's the classic Confederate Flag featured in most early white dwarf's?
>>92624775Yes, you can. Show me your internet history for the past 6 months.
>>92624653Pretty sure the last sphere expansions have been pushed either to keep facade of progress or because the ethereals are racing against time to achieve something, not because the empire is actually thriving enough to launch them, despite that certainly being their internal propaganda the ethereals are shady
>>92624737I agree.
Yes or No /40kg/?
>>92624792>Just dox yourself broMy guy, you are way too concerned with this. It's not that deep, bro. No cap.
>>92624737ork blood is an active tissue in their digestive system, it changes colour depending on what they ate and what they've been doing recently
>>92624800Sure, everything is canon anyway
>>92624800Y nut
>>92624809Source? Because so far, all canon artwork has shown ork blood to be red
Any word on when?
>>92624800no, 40k's equivalent of blood bowl should be cart racing and we all agreed on it long ago
>>92624796The Fifth Sphere expansion is very successful. They are not facing as much Imperial resistance as they did before because the Imperium Nihilus is pretty much a lawless anarchic free-for-all that the T'au can grab as many Imperial worlds as they want and expect mostly planetside resistance barring a few exceptions of course.The sixth sphere expansion is implied in the 9th ed codex to have something to do with the Great Rift.
>>92624800Obviously yea, as it would be a fun game. But you could literally just reskin the game with 40K models and play a sci-fi version.
>>92624831Realistically, it would be some sort of gladiatorial games in the area of Commoragh.
>>92624767Depends on the material you use. https://youtu.be/YhoiOlTVOZY?si=E8h6FQuH11ZwJRLt
>>92624807I accept your concession.
>>92624825what's the nose hose for?
>>92624821my headcanon
>>92624825Are these new brood bruddas?
>>92624825Man am I glad the Blooded aren't this detailed
>>92624850Cap. Imagine being so pressed about criticism of your fictional army, that you lose your grip on reality like this. My brother in Christ, you gots to come back. You ain't gotta live like this.
>>92624852Fer sniffin'
>>92624870Nani?
>>92624854Then it isn't valid. Ork blood is canonically red. You all need to stop thinking for yourselves and just accept official lore from GW. Because you all argue about stupid shit and 99% of it is shit that isn't even canon.
>>92624796I mean it's pretty obvious that the Tau, much like the Emperor, are racing to get big enough to survive. Much like how the Emperor knew that humanity had to be united to survive the threats of the galaxy, the Tau can't afford to be a tiny nation of only 100 planets.
I hadn't realized Celestian Sacresancts have combi-flamerswords, but now I know and I do think it looks pretty sick.
Rolled 4 (1d6)6 and we're all friends for the rest of the general
>>92624880Ong, I'm freaking out right now. Did you hack me? How did you know my name? Fr. Tell me.
>>92624902Fuck you asshole.
Rolled 1 (1d6)>>926249026 and you have a pleasant night's sleep
>>92624911Well, I'm fucked.
>>92624821>>92624854>>92624891We have been over this. Phil Kelly said that GW experimented with making Tau and Ork blood different colors.He said that the team thought it looked tacky on models and in art so they switched it back to being red.
>>92624899Why is she black?
>>92624919And? Doesn't change the fact that current canon is that Ork blood is red. Official canon is all that matters.
>>92624922Paint.
Rolled 2 (1d6)>>92624916Tactical Reroll
>>92624922Is that a problem for you?
>>92624852reclaiming the body's moisture
>>92624831I really hope that ork twisted metal clone doesn't flop and we can see it get expanded with some dumb other faction karts
>>92624892>the Tau can't afford to be a tiny nation of only 100 planets.But what if we use the power of love?
>>92624934Matters for what? The colour comes from the brush.
>>92623985Weren't Necrons immune to Deldar poison weapons, because ofc robots are immune to poison?
>>92624983It matters for how you paint your models. Go ahead and paint some non-canon color on your models, but then don't get mad when people question and criticize you for it. Just paint things how the box and GW tell you. Stop trying to get cute and coming up with your own ideas and paint schemes.
>>92624627Honestly a lot of the stuff written about the Tau would be HFY stuff if it were written from a human POV.>Aliens invade, humanity fends them off at great cost>They bring massive walkers like something from War of the Worlds, humanity still manages to take out a few with their ingenuity>A down alien robot is examined, turns out its older than the entire existence of the human species, and yet humanity was the one one to finally take it out after millenia of warfare against other species>After the war ends humanity takes the war to the alien invaders, conquering hundreds of worlds from them and becoming a growing empire in our own right
>>92624899>ain't no chaos God called me a nigger
>>92624986Recess shading on the skin's a little bit *too* stark. Makes him look like he's got a corrugated face
>>92624993Hydrochloric acid is a poisonous liquid. Metal / Necrodermis can be effected by it.
>>92625027Yeah that's my pet peeve with how most people do orks, especially on their arms. Turns models into green circles surrounded by black lines.
>>92624891>Then it isn't valid.Yes, it is, because I say so and because the book I like supports me
>>92624972it's already long flopped, anon
>>92625074You people have such weird power fantasies about being in control. It's so weird. And then you wonder why the larger community makes fun of you for not just sticking to canon and "coloring inside the lines" so to speak. Why can't you just paint how GW tells you? There's a reason their models look awesome and all these custom "creative" paint jobs other people come up with look like shit.
>>92625019I feel like Khorne would 100% drop a hard R. Nurgle wouldn't though, he's a cool dude.
>>92624127I missed the law course where they explained that "Inspire by" meant you were a licensed product.Must've been the same one where they explained pinky promises and 'no backsies' are legally binding.
>>92624800Nah, Blood Bowl is great, but there's no meaningful way to make Blood Bowl 40k different.That anon is right, It should be Karthammer 40k
>>92625115Nah, Khorne ain't racist either. Remember, he cares not from whence the blood flows, as long as it flows. Sounds like a pretty open minded and equal opportunity dude to me.
>>92625115you're playing the wrong game for that
>>92624975The Tau already do that they love the galaxy so much they need to bring the Greater Good to it
>>92625013>Honestly a lot of the stuff written about the Tau would be HFY stuff if it were written from a human POV.Yes anon that's the point of the Tau.It's part of why they have the Xeno Auxiliary units, it's meant to make them feel like a Federation akin to the Star Trek one while having the (blue alien)Humans still as the main focus.
>>92624922>MUHFUGGEN BIX NOOD PRAY DA EMPRAH Y’ALL THESE CHAOS HONKEYS BE WILDIN’!
>>92625143Sometimes they are a little too loving though. Remember that time they tried to negotiate with Tyranids?
>>92625086it's not even close to release though
>>92625112meant for >>92625112
>>92623870Finished assembling 1k points of GSC the other day, waiting for the weather to get better so I can prime them. Unless 34% rel. humidity is alright?
>>92624800there is more violence in soccer than there is in american football. a 40k sports game would be soccer, skateboarding, something like the galactic olympics or a beauty pagent.
>>92625158All things considered...that's actually a pretty efficient strategy.>Send out 1 diplomat to new alien species>50/50 chance on them being friendly or hostile>If they're hostile, you lose 1 diplomat>If they're friendly, you gain billions of new alliesI'd take that gamble
>>92625162It's been released long ago?
Should I get two ork combat patrol boxes?
>>92625177The home of Warhammer is constantly wet. More of an issue if it's raining or windy
>>92625197not at all
>>92625189Sure, but the thing that makes it comical is that the Tyranids are so obviously hostile that it shouldn't even take sending one diplomat to realize that. That incident was put in the lore to show how naive the Tau were when they first started expanding.
>>92625207NTA, but I'm literally playing that game right now. Don't tell me it hasn't been released.
>>92625019What about tzeentch? He says nigger all the time.
>>92625013They're literally humans when they started expanding through the galaxy yes thats the point
>>92625223Can you all please stop typing that word. Some of us find it offensive and I don't want to be a jerk and report you guys.

>Thread Question:>What army or faction has the best background lore?Orks. Find me an Ork story that is bad. Orks are a good time and Ork players are fun dudes to play.>>92625143Everyone that plays Tau is a loser>>92625158That story and the ZOAT stories are always goofy. I'm still confused at what the writers were going for with the Zoat emissary direction. I think they write GSC well but the Zoat thing was weird. >>92625027yeah I recently painted an Ice Giant for Kings of War and I did a really really really bad job on the recess shading. I regret trying to try that.
>>92625237When will we get a FW upgrade kit?
>>92625257You are just mad that Tau players can now out horde Orks and bring their own bucket of dice with them.
>>92625257I think the prevailing theory (not at all confirmed though) is that the Zoat were intended to be either the creators of the Tyranids or a race from the last galaxy they consumed that fled to our galaxy.
>>92625276> a race from the last galaxy they consumed that fled to our galaxy.I think that was the story with Hive Fleet Colossus.
>>92625223everyone that isnt humans call balck people niggers. the glory of the emperor healed internalized racism and made it all about hating xenos. orcs call black people niggerseldar call all humans monkeys. chaos gets black people to call other black people niggers with the hard r. its actually one of their most favorite things to do. except slaneesh, we all know what they like to do with blacks.
>>92625268I've been getting my ass kicked by Orks since 5th edition. Their only bad Codex was the 3.5/4th codex that I saw a few games of as a kid. I appreciate the fact that Orks arent 45 Loots 180 boyz now. I will say the match up again KFF Kan Wall and the 4 Battle Wagon games are fun. Nob Bikers was cancerous but had to engage correctly to win.
>>92625200I was actually worried that 34% was too low. Internet broadly says 40-70% ideal humidity.
>>92625186>every year its some space marine that gets fairest in the galaxy.
>>92625290>>92625276I'm going to actually read up a bit now. I forgot the Colossus fluff entirely. There is a codex that has a Tau vs Tyranid breakdown over the course of a few engagements where the Tau keep changing tactics to fight the Tyranids since the Tyranids also adapt. It was a good 2-3 page read from the Tau's perspective.
>>92625276>prevailing theorynever read about that outside of headcanons.
>>92624899>I hadn't realized Celestian Sacresancts have combi-flamerswordsProbably because the current kit doesn't have any swords at all, just maces, halberds, and a barred spear.
>>92625327>There is a codex that has a Tau vs Tyranid breakdown over the course of a few engagements where the Tau keep changing tactics to fight the Tyranids since the Tyranids also adapt.Is that one of the old gorgon fights before gorgon decided to just focus on poisoning the fug out of people?
>>92623985Hellforged Rapiers going rogue, moving on their own, and trying to eat people after their crew dieMalefic Lords getting possessed and becoming a melee glass cannon after suffering Perils and survivingThe "I Am Alpharius" Alpha Legion warlord trait that jumped from character to character as they diedThe Grot Mega Tank attempted mutiny rule that made it either unable to shoot or shoot twiceAny rule that let you control and attack with enemy models
>>92625339Which is why I added the (not confirmed at all) to that. Or do you not know what the word theory means?
>>92624899what the fuck is that thing
>>92625358Obviously a book of some kind.
>>92625355I'm familiar with the word theory, but not with the use of "prevailing" in relation to something completely baseless.
>>92625387Prevailing means it's a common theory, which it is. This is evidenced by the fact that so far, you seem to be the only one that hasn't heard of it.
>>92623974Adding the Kill Team box to my Flawless HostThe Chainaxe butcher is an absolute bitch to assemble. I ended up just giving him a bolter and giving one of the bolter guys a Power Fist to be a "heavy melee weapon" for my Legionary squads.
>>92625237I would buy that miniature.
>>92625407whoops, meant to respond to>>92623870
>>92625398wouldn't you agree that the most common theory would be just the one supported by the actual text rather than the baseless one?
>>92623870>What are you working on.Death Korps Engineer Squad. And no, I won't post pics because I'm tired of having my minis get shit on. I know I'm not the best painter, I don't need to constantly hear it from the faggots in this thread.
>>92625237Not bad, I like it.I think the braid fits well, also the eye of Ra symbol is a neat addition.
>>92625437No, the most common theory is the most common theory. That isn't always the one that has the most supporting evidence.
>>92625465Fuck you.
Is Command Barge or Annihilation Barge good in necron lists?Love the model but it just seems a bit underwhelming.
reminder that even with all of their "advanced" technology tau can't even out shoot a squig
>>92625455I'm speaking more about practice than definition, how does a baseless theory become more prevalent than the actual text itself? What's your sample size?
>>92625465fucking idiot, we're still on page 3
>>92625500How does it become more prevalent? Easy. Relatively big social media personality advances the theory, their fans adopt it and spread it to more people. Suddenly it becomes the most commonly accepted theory.
>>92625524I fully believe more people have watched any given "lore" video than have actually read the primary sources they draw from.
>>92624681Thats rather grim>not even a flag
>>92625257I love your board man, its a huge inspiration for me making my own soon.
>>92624522>beat to death with a rock
>>92625524>Relatively big social media personality advances the theoryAbout zoats?Dude, what in the everloving fuck are you even talking about?
>>92624522At that close range, the Tau likely still dies in the explosion.
>>92625477The most powerful biological weapon so potent even the Eldar are incapapble of defeating it is stronger then random evolution wich only survives through ideology
>>92624681At first I thought it was a new unit, like a generic command squad to be inbetweenBut no, it was a replacement
>>92625626Several 40k YouTubers have talked about the Zoat. Just because you live in a bubble and don't engage with the wider community doesn't mean you get to act like everyone else is the uninformed retard.
>>92625642>eldar can't do shit>news at 11
>>92625667>Several 40k YouTubers have talked about the Zoat.and none is suggesting that they are the creators of the tyranids, let alone it being the prevailing theory on this secret but widespread online zoat discourse!
the fuck is a zoatand when did they become the tyranids makers?
>>92623985>4th ed target priority>5th ed scattering blast templates>tau 4th ed seeker missile call-ins>6th ed deny the bitch>4th ed tyranids immune to instant death>>92624993They were specifically not immune to poison, had a special rule just to state they were not.
If you manage to get all 11 40/60mm bases in and you have declared them as oaths, Helbrecht + 10 Sword Brethren (a 400pt unit) still don't kill a Meganobz unit in Waagh (150pts)Just a little reminder next time green skin fuck tells you that the book isn't powercreep central and they actually love it because its "fluffy" and "fun" rather than busted
>>92625745Bryan Ansell's OC donut steel race to make warhammer have something iconic and recognisable as a brandhttps://awesomeliesblog.wordpress.com/2020/07/05/the-wfrp-story-xxxiii-wacky-races/They were meant for fantasy but also thrown with a few lazy modifications under the very early tyranids rangeThey were at no point said or ever alluded to be anything but slaves created or captured by the tyranids
>>92625772>GW tries to lower lethality>Actually makes the game less lethalWow, they actually did something, ey?I'm just joking, but on some level I'm fine with them not being able to one turn them. Turns a lot of melee matches into a "alright, who got their charge off first?"
>>92624147The problem with the vindicator is that its in armies that have better units for that 195 pts. At 175 they might be more appealing but the rule associated with them just isn't good in an edition where everyone has a gimmick. Look at the russ demolisher, put just put the demolisher on the tank commander instead of taking the demolisher proper, and with the points drop, if you see guard taking russes, they'll probably be battle tanks or exterminators. IMO the only armies I think you'll see viondicators in are CSM, WE and Thousand Sons, DG and every flavor of marine just have better options.
Are custodes just 40k stormcast now? If so it's kinda worrying for 40k that they've been made analogs of the faction that was the face of fantasy's death
>>92625848>the faction that was the face of fantasy's deathIf I move into someone's house after they die, does that make me the "face of their death"?
>>92625848Well, they're not quite at that level... yet.They will end up there, for sure. But we can just hope it's gonna take them a few years before fucking up that bad.
>>92623772>What army or faction has the best background lore?CSM
>>92625879yes, if you killed them specifically so you could move in in their stead
>they serve beer at my LGS and you can smokeI found heaven. Also, no tau players allowed. Owner refuses to stock them, dunno how GW feels about that.
>>92625879If you bought the house from the guy who killed the first guy.. I dunno kinda?
>>92625933sounds awful
>>92625933Recipe for disaster, but good for you, I guess

>>92625933I went there too and some girl entered and they told her to make a sandwich or kick rocks, they're just too based
What are some good paints like tesseract glow for other colors that really give glowing energy feel?
>>92625967>>92626039>>92626063It is true though. If you order something from them it arrives in about 6 months though, or you can buy in store for GW prices. I suspect they sort of filch stuff off of ebay or something.The smell is horrifying too.

He's been AWOL since the Great Rift opened. Where the fuck is he? Which gooncave has he been holed up in this whole time? When will he be done in there?
>>92625237Shame the leak confirmed they aren't actually making any femcustodes
>>92626164died of ligma
>>92626174They didn't release any for the codex, I don't know why anyone would expect that new models were imminent.
>>92626164Presumably the same goon cave that Fulgrim is staying in until Slaanesh forces them out so they can become a faction.I wonder what will happen to Fabius. I have him as a model and love his rules and honestly don't want top lose him.
Wait. GW advanced the plot? Wasn't the last word always that in the year 999 technicians discovered a flaw in the golden throne they couldn't repair and that Emperor was guaranteed to die?I haven't heard of the emperor dying.
>>92626206I expect he'll stick around in the codex, not move to the index.
>>92624608can't we all just get along?
>>92625257Uhhhhh. Where the fuck are you're L shaped ruins??
>>92626164>>92626227nah he should go, fuckin ugly cunt he has no place in EC, just squat him already please

>>92626366you tell us nidder write the fluff right now
>>92626366Those are mlarnuqs
>>92626366Just an option for tarting up your base I would think, not on the GW sprues.

>>92626174The "leaks" are some anon shitposting on this board, its astounding how many people believe stuff written with the preface "Insider here"But it makes sense given the amount of people who believe that Jan 6th was an insurrectionist attack
>>92626439insider hereLucius is a boring fag and won't be the EC character and there won't be a new fulgrim model, the big centerpiece is Doomrider
>>92626219They cleared that up by saying the Imperium secretly hired the Dark Eldar to repair the Golden Throne. The price was apparently several entire planets given over to the Dark Eldar to raid for slaves with impunity.
>>92624326>NetEpicBeen reading these rules, seem fun, I take it that Epic Space Marine/NetEpic came at some point before GW thought it wanted to put actual forgeworld titans on the 40K tabletop and scaled them size of them all down a bit to make that more possible? Theres no way you're getting 24 squads of 5 men into a new scale titan is there, or are Imperators unreasonably large?
>>92624135>Nobody here has touched a woman sexually>Nah uh I have kidsTypical 40k pedo
>>92626471The term is MAP (minor attracted person), bigot.
does tortuga bay sell STLs for their models anywhere? I like them but they suck at printing and it takes forever to arrive

>>92626542honestly i dont mind it, its a shame that the traktor gun looks great but the profile is fuckin shit
If the Emperor is crying his wee eyes out every time a guardsman dies, surely the main threat to his health would be keeping him from drowning in his own tears?
Why are the Black Templars so cool? They absolutely overshadow their parent chapter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jkbhGnwnzQ
>>92626622My estimation of the Emperor as a man, just fucking plummeted.
>custodes get the best combat patrol ever, even better than many start collecting boxes>also get the dirt fucking worst codex this editionwhat did james mean by this
>>92626676Emperor is a women
>>92626692Let me tell you a couple a three things...
>>92626686How is it the worst codex?
>>92626542I just want a mek with some big fuckin dakka, not these garbage profiles that only average 3 wounds per game
>>92626705>How is it the worst codex?They put a story about a girl custode in it
I'd forgotten how good some old art was.
>>92626705they made custodes take a tiny amount of brainpower to be able to win now
>>92626719Well I like it.
>>92626735fuck off coomer
>>92626742no. Its canon.
If you're Space Marine, what's the most humiliating faction to die to?
squad broken is canon
>>92626804Good. I've blown so many loads reading that story.
>>92626781Probably either IG or GSC.
>>92623772>TQClearly the Eldar
>>92626750She boot to big for her goddamn feet
>>92624147They hit like a truck but have short range and die pretty easy, just fought nurgle vindi spam and tabled the guy. Also you'll be waiting three months.
>>92626781Orks
>>92626879>create every problem in the setting>provide no solutions>job to everybody, even themselvesactual worst faction
>>92626727Just got two old Eldar codex from my local library, and it's just filled with incredible artwork
Are chaos eldar a thing?
>>92626892>Every problem in the setting>"What is the Imperium?"
>>92626912the ones who solve all the problems the eldar create
>>92626911Yup, on some of the crone worlds actual societies of chaos Eldar exist
>>92626920The Eldar didn't create the humans
>>92626920Sounds like we need to work harder at making problems.
>>92626935I know your HRT-addled eldarfag brain can't comprehend basic concepts but humans aren't a problem
>>92624532It's legends, but yeah it's pretty good. It's just about guaranted to ruin the day of whatever you shoot it at if you put oaths on it, and even more if you manage to get it some sort of wound re-rolls.>>92625825I think at 175 Vindis are better than Forgefiends. Their rule is honestly not even that bad, being able to always shoot at 3+ no matter what is pretty good, and T11 2+ is frankly decently tanky, T11 is a pretty decent breakpoint (obviously not as incredible as T12, but at T12 they'd probably neeed a price bump).
>>92626941>Imperium of man >Not a problem
>>92626952not a problem because they're the reason why humanity (the only thing that matters) is still aliveget it through your thick tranny skull
Any cool new lore on the Alpha Legion since the Alpharius book? Was taking a break from 40k for a while.
>>92626946T11 is the S7 of toughness
>>92626912The Eldar created that problem too. If they hadn't murder fucked Slaanesh into existence, there wouldn't have been an Age of Strife. No Age of Strife means the the Dark Age of Technology never ends and the Imperium never would have existed.
Fuck off Noldorfag
>>92626965>The tyranids only exist because of the tyranidsYou see how fucking stupid you sound? And whats with the butthurt with Eldar? Lost too many times to Eldar or what?
>>92626979I'd say now it's the S9 of toughness, but yeah, fair enough.
>create superhuman soldiers who >terrorize the galaxy and become chaos greatest servants>grow the eye of terror and split the galaxy in half>create a gaping hole in space that needs a constant stream of sacrifices to stay closed or it becomes a second eye>draw the tyranids to the galaxyThe emperor is the problem. Not humanity.
>>92626985Honored you think that's me <3
How much authority does an individual Shield Captain have over their own actions? Could I use it to justify sprinkling a guardian lance or two among my dudes and just say a Captain let them have if for some deed of heroism or something in the past? I want to break up the weapons on my army a bit more than they are
>>92626985Fuck off Ben
>>92626988uh oh eldartranny melty
>>92624334Did you miss the official animation where the warlord survives a manta shot to the face then casually knocks it out of the sky? The stormsurge trick kills half the stormsurges by itself, truly a reliable weapon. Meanwhile Knight Commander Pask oneshots a titan by himself, Leman Russ Vanquisher confirmed better than Stormsurge?
>>92626980Agreed. Even if the Eldar did it unknowingly, they're still responsibleHowever the fucking the emperor knew exaclty what he was doing, and created even more problems, the fucking retard
>>92624147If you didn't have a plan to deal with the guard demolishers already you were in trouble. The Chaos vindicators are nothing new.
>>92627005Yeah I'm so MAD!! MAD about YOU!!!Anyways, working on someting fun anon? I'm working on painting my Corsairs, although my skills at painting has diminished a lot due to a long break
>>92626999From what I've gathered...a lot. No one tells a Shield Captain what to do except the Emperor and maybe a few people on Terra (High High Lords).
>>92626994When you think about it, the Emperor's obsession with genetics and psykers is the reason that humanity is so reliant on Space Marines today, instead of a better armed and equipped Imperial Guard.
>>92624029Feel this game could have been so much better, the "stratagems" are gay as fuck and corpse running is a viable strategy. I wish it was more like Gears of War.The normies munch it up though.It IS really nice to shoot and run and stuff in this game, so they got that right at least, which makes the shallow gameplay that much more depressing.
>>92627076I just want to mix up some guns and maybe armor bits and Custards have a whole lot of stuff, but I want to figure out how much autistic screeching I’d cause unless I actively work out on what authority one of my captains has a guardian spear or vault sword
>>92627082Except for most of the last 10,000 years, the Imperium hasn't replied on space marines. Remember, prior to the formation of the Great Rift, space marines were such a rare sight on the battlefield, that most guardsmen thought they were a myth that commissars would tell them about to keep morale up.
>>92627105
>>92627111Damn...you're right. Committing sudoku now.
>>92627105The Space Marines are the "get shit done" soldiers of the Imperium. Keep in mind that these so called 'rare sights' were deployed against the fucking Tau in pretty much every single conflict they've had with the Imperium. The smallest, tiniest, most insignificant xeno empire had the fucking Space Marines involved.
>Switch from Admech to Sisters>The sisters unit I want to have the most of is dollar per point after the new points changes>Their models are extremely detailed>tfw I went from a stupidly expensive hard to paint faction to another stupidly expensive hard to paint faction
>>92627155You could always switch to GSC
>go to LGS to pick up a few paints>they have just about every selection of mini paints known to man>only after 4 paints >happens to be the only 4 fucking paints they dont have in stock>ask one of the workers, said they wont be in stock for a while>all different brands toonot the first this has happened, the odds are ridiculous
>>92627144>Space Marines are the "get shit done" soldiersNot really. Prior to the Great Rift, most chapters were too obsessed with their own agendas to help with the wider Imperial war efforts. And the Imperial Guard won countless wars over the course of the last 10,000 years with no help at all from these supposed "get shit done" soldiers.
>>92627188That's why you order your paints online, my dude. LGS's never seem to have exactly what you need.
>>92627033Your painting skills were never good to start with
>>92627230it just boggles my mind that this seems to be a regular occurrence, its actually insane. thats the plan at least, its just that the weekend rolls around and i want that shit now because im impatient as fuck
>>92627235Hope you'll get better anon, suffering isn't permanent, you know? Here, have a fun meme, it makes me smile when I see it
>>92627213>And the Imperial Guard won countless wars over the course of the last 10,000 years with no help at all from these supposed "get shit done" soldiers.But against what major opponents?
>>92627254I get you anon, I have to paint while the energy is thereIt's damn frustrating when you're being stumped by logistics(damn you Guilliman/Perturabo)
>>92625013I like how the artist that made this piece copied the same guardsman 2 times for one and 3 times for another. Same thing for the airplanes.Your eye is drawn to the massice fuckoff warmachine anyways, the lads are just propsAt least he changed up the lighting on their helms and bodies a bit
>>92627270>>92627213I think both the Guard and SM are cool and important for the IoM
>>92627082>reliant on space marinesMaybe before the horus heresy. Having 50% of your army betray you and spend 10k years seething and constantly acting against you is the opposite of reliable
Look at this dude, he looks a little anxious.
>>92627314In pretty much any important conflict the Space Marines are gonna be involved and making the biggest impact on the battlefield
>>92627270Chaos? Dark Eldar?Have you never heard of the Macharian Crusade?hownew.ru?
>>92627394>Chaos?Which crusades have the Imperial Guard fought alone?>Dark Eldar?When?>Have you never heard of the Macharian Crusade?It had Space Marines attached to it.
so how did the balance patch affected your faction? do you like it? hate it? not enough?
>>92624429>two armiger variants and two war dog variantsI literally don't see the problem, buy one of each and make your 4 war dogs or magentize the fuckers because it's trivial with knights to have whichever variations you want.
>>92627319why is the model covered in pubic hair
>>92627451>His models aren't covered in pubic hair>NGMI
>>92627310the old art has so much soul...
>>92627441Units continue to get cheaper, not better, so I'm thoroughly unimpressed and I don't even play AdMech.I'd like points costs to go up by 20 - 30% across the board and for GW to adjust rules instead of just making everything cheap to push plastic.
>>92627310Was there ever a mini of this guy with the under arm plasma gun
>>92627310I just got a print of this and have nowhere to fit itI'm salty
>>92627433>It had Space Marines attached to it.It had navy elements as well, are you going to say the handful of dudes were involved in every conflict across 1000 worlds?Are you that demented?
>>92626174they might release kesh as a character one day. its funny to me that we've never gotten a female farseer model even though it seems like they're all female in the lore, and the farseer in the combat patrol is female
>>92627479I really hope they do like they did for the BT castellan in this one >>92627470
>>92624354I have no clue if this post is serious but I'm getting tired of people who don't understand that the Tau don't represent a primary rival to the imperium but the kind of small alien empire that has no clue there are a grugzillion tyranids coming to eat them. They will, quite literally by the lore, never be a real contender because there are a bunch of other alien empires out there with a similar "these guys could be big, if only they weren't small in a universe in the end game scenario".
>>92627441It changed basically nothing. Stopped caring anyway, GW is only messing with points to force people to buy more plastic anyway.
>>92627497It's just desperate, delusional T'''''''''auFag cope as usual
>>92627451Nearly invisible strands you get from resin printing or from using glue. The primer sticks to them and makes them stand out.I picked the hairs off after priming.
What is lorewise the single most embarrassing defeat a faction has suffered?
>>92627536night warriors jobbing to GSC is pretty high up there
>>92627536The Horus Heresy.
>>92627536Iirc a single chapter killed basically an entire craftworld once
are the bolter nipples or the missile nipples better for a ballistus dreadI'm not gonna bother magnetizing something so small and visually uninteresting
>>92627540QRD?
>>92624354>billions of fire warriorsThe Imperium spans hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of planets. Humans have been fucking around and spreading across the galaxy for millenia before the first t'au left the homeworld. Billions is a clerical error in the scale that the Imperium operates at.They could lose thousands of planets and not notice.
Why do the imperium and the eldar kill each other when chaos is the real enemy?
fresh thredz >>92627569>>92627569>>92627569
>>92627575Humans are stupid and xenophobic, their empire is built by a moron who thought humans could only thrive if every single xenos is dead
>>92627536There was a time when a group of Noise Marines were hunting a squad of Rangers only to wander into an ambush.The Noise Marines were being pushed to their limit and were nearly on the verge of being wiped out, only for a squad of Howling Banshees to suddenly appear and charge them.Rather than being debilitated by the Banshee screams, the Noise Marines were instead reinvigorated. They went only to slaughter the entire Eldar host except for a single Ranger, who was dragged back to their ship to be presented as a gift to their matron Keeper of Secrets.
>>92627575The Eldar are a dying race with a lifespan of millennia willing to do whatever it takes to survive while having a prophecy about them engaging in MAD with Chaos meaning they view everyone else as expendable pawns. No one's a big fan of that.The Imperium is a xenophobic empire built by a supremacist who failed to instill his reasoning and only his hatred in his followers before being turned into a deaf mute with full-body paralysis and put in what is essentially a matrix bio-battery pod to power an extra dimensional lighthouse until his soul is finally sucked out of his asshole and all he can do is watch as retards beat each other to death with half a clue.
>>92625890laughing and loyalists at xenos with my chaos bros
>>92627663>laughing and loyalists at xenoslysdexia
oh shit theyre doing made to order kommandos and nobs? i still have these models in my parents' basement
>>92627734>tfw still have that nobz box but missing the waagh banneri cant find it for the life of me. i do plan on using the nob with the power klaw as im one power klaw short of a 10 man squad
>>92627752i have the banner nob, always fell apart
>>92627766i hate metal modes so much its unreal. still have a few of the old stormboyz (unpainted) and at this point id rather just buy the plastic ones instead. id rather consoom than be bothered to use the old ones
when I was a kid I had no idea you could pin metal models and even if I did know I would have no way of doing ithell as a kid I didn't even know you had to PRIME your models before painting
The Legionaries kill team weapons are a valid sidegrade for the non-kill team box of chaos legionaries, do you think that night lords weapons like the skin-alive thing and ventrilokar will be added to the data sheet?
>>92625446Fuck off pissbaby noone cares about your shitflinging from last thread
>>92624105Mud hut dwelling slavs cosplaying as actual humans disgusts me.
>I hate them not because they hate us but because they are incapable of good, honest, human hatred.
>>92624126>literal nog excuses>we are literally so oppressed>this is first born erasureSorry sweety but unlike you, the general player population doesn't have Stockholm syndrome for shit models
>>92624550>words words words wordsRight but think about how satisfying and fun it'd be to be doing dirt bike tricks and lopping people's heads off while zooming around at 200mph
>>92624126GW must go out of business. Dont buy from them.If GW goes out of business they cannot make nuLore and old lore will be forever. and the games can run via the community like how Bloodbowl and Mordheim were kept alive for decades (and more balanced).They will also be unable to sue anyone and 3rd parties.
>>92626150>she's brown and wears armour so it's the same Is every round fruit an apple too?
>>92625407Base your models faggot
>>92625555This isn't a mind blowing theory given more people have watched a soccer game than there are people who have kicked a ball. Same thing apply to almost anything that has been televised or captured in some form of media with the exception of bodily functions
>>92625745>the fuck is a zoatThis boy>when did they become the tyranids makersI don't care, the model is neat and that's all that really matters
>>92625933>smoking and beer is coolPeople bragging about drinking and smoking is a red flag that they suck. It's fine if you like to drink or smoke, but to talk about it like it's a cool thing is on the same level of schoolchildren talking about that time they used a bad word
>>92628914
Why couldn't knight armies be allowed to take a more varied ally unit roasterI love knights but it's true that they are very ap check and kinda boring to play.But taking the one knight of 3 armigers as allies does not satisfy my knight itch!I just really want a combined imperial force at the end of the day...
>>92629512>Why couldn't knight armies be allowed to take a more varied ally unit roasterSometimes I look at shit like space wolfs or death guard and I think some units would be cool in hanging out with a white scars motorbike khan or scarab occult terminators, but those units can't run together in the same army easily.It feels like across the board taking some 'allies' should be easier, like in TOW, but because GW has too many fucking imperium armies they had to 'balance' it by blocking cooperation, since alien armies besides the eldar can't take allied guys.
