>TQInvocatus.
>>93223887TQThe original Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka on his 28mm base
>>93223887The Battle for Macragge Space Marine Sergeant Octavian. He returns as a dreadnought in Assault on Black Reach.
Is the Furioso dreadnought the "newest" boxnaught?>>93223887the acolyte hybrid with power weapon and hand flamer.or maybe the gretchin pirate.
>>93223887Fuck bros. I hate the redemptor chassis so much.I hate the ATVI hate the Invictor warsuitI hate the psychophageI hate the new pyro and biovoresI want to go back brosTake me back
>>93224005You're kind of cringe
So a question: what is the emperor plan to actually deal with Chaos? Like his entire plan was just to cut off human reliant on the Warp for space travel and communication. But the Warp is still there, human still need to live in real space, warp storm can still happen and suck up planets, oh and the Eye of Terror is still a thing. So the Emperor's great plan wasn't gonna address the issue of Chaos, just make it so that less human are affected by it.
>>93224031Nothing. The emperor can't do anything about chaos.
>>93224005Nothing forces you to use sculpts you don't like, unless you're a tourney-playing troglodyte in which case you deserve it.
>>93223887Probably the falcon, mainly because it was the first tank I built and it's stood the test of time, why bother trying to update perfection?
>>93224031hope his fuckup sons can fix the mess his even bigger fuckup sons made
>>93224005Ignore the Primaris crap. Pure Firstborn forces are kino
>>93223946Venerable Dread was 2008 and Furioso is 2010, i believe and the Space Wolf Venerable was 2017? I THINK
>>93224027You're an asshole
>>93224078Spcae Wolf Dread is 2014*fat fingered it
>>93224031Removing reliance on warp travel was just the first step. Humanity was supposed to evolve into a psychic species that could withstand the temptations of chaos.
>>93224057Firstborn should have been left as is and Primaris as Cawls new forces of questionable loyalty
So is codex imperial agents going to be an actual army I can play or is it just new rules for supplemental data sheets?
>>93224005The only one I'll argue with is the psychophageI like that thing
>>93216505wait a min, that's ours!
>>93224102Primaris should've never been made and the Firstborn should've just gotten an upscaled resculpt like the Horus Heresy MK3 and MK6 marines (or even those blindbox Space marine Heroes minis)
>>93224078Does the metal version of the Furioso count? It was released in 1997 I think? Still a cool model for the time, there's something about the heft of a metal dreadnought.
>>93224031Breed Sisters of Silence with Custodes until he gets a race of blank malestodes and femstodes to replace mankind with, cutting off chaos from their primary food source
>>93224117Just give it few years and we get new MK7 kit for the Horus Heresy: The Scouring
I CAST FIST
>>93224213This would be so funny
>>93224031>oh and the Eye of TerrorThe Emperor will turn that into the Eye of Terra after colonizing it
>>93224213To be honest, I kind of would prefer to explore more of the great crusade and all the alien campaigns the early Imperium fought against. The Rangdan Xenocides alone are a giant blank gap that supposedly involved like nine legions, a bunch of knight houses, and the Emperor himself. Despite everyone involved, there's next to no information on it.
>>93224258Please fucking no more, I beg you James please don't painfully elaborate on cool unknowns, we have already lost Horus Heresy to this cursed blight, have mercy.
>>93224258>The Rangdan Xenocidesthat's are purposely left vague to explain away why the Dark Angels sucked so much cock during the Heresy and post-Heresy. The "They took a lot of damage" BS wouldn't happen if GW actually intended to flesh it out.
>>93224225It feels like the logical next step now that HH ended with the siege of terra series. You can still have all the primarchs soap opera and space marine wank and since it hasn't been explored that much yet writers can put their super special oc's in that totally were friends with primarchs trust me guys>>93224258True but you forgot one big thing: Xenos are the designated pushing bag for space marines. You can't have a series were xenos were kicking space marines asses or dare i say it... kill a primarch
>>93224272Then what would you prefer? A continuation of the current 40k storyline post-primaris, or exploring gaps within the timeline of random inconsequential wars like the old IA books?
>>93224294https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/The_Beast ?
>>93224258Rangdan were enlightened communists with an idyllic society of gender and racial equality, with a huge population of humans living among them as equals.The emperor ordered their destruction because he, in his toxic cishetmale insecurity, arrogance and ignorance, wanted his fascist imperium to be the only option for humanity.This'll be 50 quid mate.
>>93224300Bait aside, how is that any different from Tau?
>>93224313Tau don't have racial equality or freewill
>>93224294>You can't have a series were xenos were kicking space marines asses or dare i say it... kill a primarchWeren't the IInd and XIth involved in the campaign? Revealing details on them feels a bit sacrilegious. GW violates a lot of its own mysteries with unwanted explanations, but the missing primarchs in particular feels hard set.
>>93224313Tau have an opressive totalitarian government with a rigidly enforced caste system. Inter-caste relationships are not allowed and adherence to the current way of life is maintained by expert level propaganda and (potential) brainwashing.If ethereals happen to make a mistake in governing their subjects, tau have no recourse to hold them accountable. Their power is absolute, there are no counterbalances.And ethereals do make mistakes all the time. From the War of Dark Revelations, to Ksi'm'yen genestealer infestation and the way they handle knowledge of the Warp and daemons.
>>93224224Based Papa Smurf, keeping his guard up and not giving in to hubris.
>>93224300Based Emperor, ridding the galaxy of communism. Reminder:Killing commies is not murder, it's vandalism, as commies are not people, they are property of the state.
>>93224299Did that series get any miniatures?
>>93224383>not people, they are property of the state>meanwhile american G.I.s
Wow the upgrade sprue for Night lords fucking sucks huh.
Whats the most competetive way to use an Inquisitor?
>>93224404Eh, nothing in ork books ever really gets depicted except broadly being waved off as trukks or whatever. It's actually the opposite, where the only real frame of reference for people is to communicate with the game models as if they were classes of objects more than specific models.
>>93224428wait until the agents codex
>>93224423
>>93224423>t. Jealous Iron Warrior who has no upgrade sprue
>>93224430Is that even really happening or are people just assuming?
>>93224457I’m assuming, for one, because GW has some grudge against slanesh armies so I dont think EC is getting a codex
>>93224465EC just got indexed so earliest they would get anything is spring next year I reckon.>>93224457It was leaked pretty quickly. I would be funny if they didn't release it out of spite now.
>>93224457>every reliable leaker says its happening>GW has hinted at it in recentish posts>the [REDACTED] has the inquisition seal on it>we have actual pictures of pages of it from the printing facilities in chinana totally just assuming
>>93224423So anyway how long until we can buy just the sprue without having to buy a big ol kt box? I have 3 sets of 10 legionnaires that I need a few sprues for.
>>93224519never and right now on ebay
>>93224519GW will never hurt their own sales by offering the KT sprue alone
>>93224331>Weren't the IInd and XIth involved in the campaign?I don't think GW has confirmed if they were but that is the commonly accepted headcanon
>>93224481>we have pagesThats bullshit but I believe it
>>93224544leaked by the same guy who dropped some stuff from the AoS 4th core book, months before 4th was even officially announced, all of which has turned out 100% correct.
>>93224567Based chinks not giving a single fuck.
>>93224300If my wife saw this guy i dont think she could remain faithful
>>93224612Your wife might be a whore.
>>93224612That reflects very poorly both on your wife for having a terrible taste and on yourself for marrying a woman of both loose morals and no discernment.
>>93224613She hasnt slept with anyone else but me
>>93224612Hes gay
>>93224612Hi Mike.
>>93224115Why does that Manta look so god awful?
>>93224613>might
>>93224612I liked your alpharius book mike
>>93224428either with their henchmen retinue or DKoK to bully infantry off objectivestake a second character with the kriegtarget with a strat and they get 2 rolls to return cp if they're leading something with a voxthe psychic torrent is good, but overall the unit isn't very punchywhen leading a full retinue, they fuck, but it's far more expensive
>>93224612she's pegging him right now you cuckold
>>93223887>What model will always have a special place in your heart?The humble Rhino.Primaris grav pick-ups just don't cut it
>>93224258Do we even know what the fuck the rangdans looked like?
>>93224762I've seen some suggestions they were a coalition of slave races that had some relation to the Slaugth, either using their tech, or were some kind of slave/client race in that sector of the galaxy
>>93224762We know they had "Slaugth Murder-minds" so it's often presumed they were either a slave race to them or collaborated with them as allies. And slaugth are a race of worm-swarms that utilize fungal cyborg tech. So these are our best guesses.
>>93224112I also like the psychophage but I can't explain why I like it but hate the new pyro/bio.
>>93224744I prefer the deimos pattern, but agreed. Still stupid that primaris can’t ride them, I want my cheap transport option, damn it. Can’t even take ten intercessors of any variety without getting a full sized battle tank.
>>93223887Ha! I remember when you kiddies laughed at my old design and said that 'new is best'. I warned you then that your makers are bastards and you too will eventually be replaced, but you didnt believe me. Now look at you, you have become what you hated. Stop your whining, take a seat with us 1st ed designs and leave a space for when the current palitoy rippoffs that replaced you are eventually replaced in turn.
>>93224908>1st edNot warhammer
>>93223887Every single one of the lil niggas. We'll never see a box like this again.
>>93224908Ngl I see rogue trader era designs and I wonder what the fuck was going on back then. The models were ugly as sin, who the hell thought they were cool?
>>93224947>who the hell thought they were coolBrits
>>93224936This is what happened the last time GW tried to release an Apocalypse box. Look at this. Look how fucking pathetic this is compared to the glorious old.
>>93224956I really liked the Chaos space marines box. If there had been a rhino in there too i would have bought a second one too.
>>93224230>Tfw when I thought it was actually called the Eye of Terra for a year because I learned 40k lore by listening to audiobooks narrated by Brits It's a right spot of trouble for the emprah innit, that blasted eye of terra, cor blimey bugger me
>>93224972>old bikesYeah nah.
>>93224936What would that box even look like in the primaris era?>6 Intercessors squads > 2 assault Intercessors squads>2 hellblaster squads>9 Impulsors
>>93224956>>93224972>apocalypse>not a single Predator/Land Raider>not a single flyer
>>932249864 Intercessors2 Assault Intercessors2 Assault intercessors with Jump Packs2 Hellblasters9 ImpulsorsCommand Squad.. sorry "Company Heroes Squad" with Captain.
>>93224999NPC factions had their boxes be more suitable for apocalypse. Still even they got zero super heavies in their boxes
>>93224972pretty sure thats less points than the veterans of the long war box that just came out lmao
>>93224986>>93225005Be realistic, it's going to have 2 ATV's and 2 warsuits
>>93225020True. Long gone are the days of GW making army boxes be an actually army instead of miscellaneous pile of trash they can't move on their own.
>>93225020Oh of course. And whatever else kit just isn't selling enough.
As bad as 7th edition was it gave us some great army boxes
>>93225080Shit take
>>93225089Yeah because this is so much better.
>>93225088best ever cultists you cannot beat them
>>93225105Still mad that autogun cultist got legend'ed
>>93224213Scouring wont happen for the simple reason that it is called Horus Heresy.GW will just keep it at where it is permanently.
Remember Leviathan? Damn, they just don't make SOUL like this anymore.
>>93225128Early weeks of 10h edition... Home...
>>93225108at least we have the memories.. will never forget my grenade launcher dude knocking off the last wound from a guys unpainted Lion lmao.
>>93225128Does anyone actually run anything from the Leviathan box? Aside from the Termies that are just new sculpts of old units that people always used?The only thing I've seen in tournaments in the Phobos Lieutenant for his infiltrate and Lone Op shenanigans.
>>93224947And this is the exact mentality of the newer younger fans have towards your models.
>>93225163sure.. on the nids side.
Ceci n'est pas une marine
>>93225167I'm in my mid 30s, and honestly think the modern marine sculpts look better for the most part. to each their own.
>>93225163gravis apothecary gets used a lot, rarely see a big unit of aggressors without him.
>>93225128why can't they make an interesting vs box?tyranid bio titan that drops spore mines vs some asian themed feudal guard; lasguns and yari vs a kaiju
>>93225168I haven't seen a screamer killer on the table since before their codex.The new brain bug a few times.>>93225178Oh yeah, I forgot about him. The local Deathwatch player loves them in his Proteus Kill Team gravis blobs
>>93225182That sounds retarded.No.
>>93225182Because Edition boxes are meant to be starter boxes for new players. That's why they're all push-fit easy to build.What you're describing is a specialist game that only people extremely into that shit would want.
>done all the base layer metals and wires on a knight todayfeelsgoodman. goodnight anons.
>>93225182Because space marines pay the bills. I will eat my shoes if we ever get an edition starter box that isn't just space marines versus xenos/chaos
>>93225189more interesting than yet another release spoiled by blueberries taking up half the boxat least pick an interesting marineslop subfaction like legion of the damned
>>93225195new players don't drop hundreds on a launch box>>93225241eat my shoes and we have a bet
>>93225251They didn't for the overprice mess that was Leviathan. But did in droves for the $160 Indomitus box for 9th.
>>93224224do you guys think gw genuinely wanted/tried to replace terminator with gravis, met with too much repulsion and gave up?
>>93225251Deal. I'll eat your shoes if we ever get a starter box that isn't Space marines versus xenos or chaos.
>>93225243No, still a shit idea.UM are the default marines and the posterboys.
>>93225167I can't talk much about muhreens but the winged Prime and Von Ryans(these are going to be replaced with Raveners though) see use in Vanguard Onslaught. The Screamer-Killers are really good in Synaptic Nexus and I've seen a few lists running it although not competitively. Psychophage with how cheap it is makes for decent enough, tough chaff and they work on Assimilation Swarm. Neurotyrant was a stapple for making the SITW rule not as terrible and being able to lead Zoans now means you will see even more of them.The rest are just whatever. Gaunts could be used but everyone already had like 90 gaunts and Unending Swarm is now trash.Also if only they had made it so Shadow In the Warp was a penalty for ALL battle shocks that happen within synapse range you would see 3 units of Neurogaunts in every game.
>>93225269>do you guys think gw genuinely wanted/tried to replace terminator with gravisNo, because they are nothing alike.Only thing they have in common is that they are slow and fat.It's like saying you and a sloth are the same because you are both hairy and lazy.
>>93225294Wrong person.
>>93225286blueberries are for period cramps, I heard
>everyone screaming about the penitent detachment>Sisters just went into the shooty one and made ironstorm listsHuh? Guh?
>>93224031Step 1. Unite humanity (Great Crusade)Step 2. Prevent all potential Chaos worship in humanity (Imperial Truth)Step 3. Prevent Psykers from fucking around with Chaos (Webway)Step 4. Kill all the xenos so they can’t worship or fuck around with Chaos (Inquisition)Step 5. Have your 18 sons rape a frail and dying Chaos to death (Space Marines)Step 6. Profit
>>93225269>do you guys think gw genuinely wanted/tried to replace terminator with gravisif they wanted to do that then why didn't they make them remotely similar.
Once more I am asking for Eldar Exodite models
>>93225459Looks like my old assistant store manager
>>93225408Step 0: Be a massive egotistical shit-head consumed by your own hubris.
>>93225404it's because many sisters units are overpriced, castigators, and immolators are priced well and both buff shooting.
>>93225128>tfw still have the tyranid side of this sitting under my desk, unpainted and unbuilti missed everything for the start of 10th ed, which side of this box was more likely to win at the time?
>>93225436
>>93225468looks great anon, what did you use for the green flames?
>>93225473Marine side wrecks the nid side from memory
>>93225473Space Marines just shot Nidders off the table
>>93225481Green paint
>>93225480As with every time this is posted, the worm is stupid
>>93225404>sisters finally get a detachment focused on the thing sisters are supposed to be doing: burninating heretics>sisters players want to play itHuh? Guh?
>>93225480this looks bad and I don't like it
>>93225307I'm sorry. Am sleep deprived and retarded.>>93225163>>93225294
Night lords will be made an army before slaanesh.
>>93225481Its someone elses, they posted it a while back. Reverse image search it, they appear to have an Insta.
>>93225506They're using it to buff Castigators
>>93225515>>93225501it's phase-through space magic tech, ain't gotta explain shit
>>93223887>What model will always have a special place in your heart?The Land Raider Crusader.My first one had the metal upgrade kit and I could never get them to stay on as i was a dumb teenager, but i loved that fucker.I wish i had not sold my templars when I ""grew out" of the hobby but oh well.
>>93224300You know, I thought I was getting Locked Tomb vibes from his last book so that makes a lot of sense.
Primaris Eldar when?
>>93225620Surprised it didnt start gnawing on the plastic, they're voracious for it.
>>93225620I used to own a hamster and that LR is probably full of shit now. Those things never stop shitting
>>93225670In what hilarious/tragic fashion did it die?
Local club had its quarterly Bring and Buy sale.I got 5 metal Scouts, 2 librarians from 2nd and 4th edition, a damaged Chaplain, an Apothecary, and the limited edition Black Templars Castellan Draco all for 50p each.
>>93225679>buying marines
>>93225658She ate some brush soap but never any plastic>>93225679Kinda jelly
>>93225685At least it wasn't from James.
>>93225583>regular ass terran dinosaurs instead of properly alien fauna>some stupid ent that doesn't even look like its from a jungle, more of a temperate climate oneLame
>>93225686>She ate some brush soap:D Delicious!
>>93225700>regular ass terran dinosaursyeah?
>>93225700Careful what you wish for. They might open Pandora's box.
>>93225712Bad dragon?
>>93225713GW does know how to make some bad dragons.
>>93225685I have a whole Company for a 3rd edition Space Marine army, and some 6mm Epic stuff I need to work on too.
>>93225720Damn, that is indeed pretty fucking bad.
>>93225710Posting another example of why exodites are dumb won't make it any less dumb>>93225712That worksMonster Hunter stuff as wellIf you want more weird, go for Future is Wild or better yet Wayne BarloweBut having default terran dinos on a completely remote exodite world doesn't make much sense and looks silly>inb4 some extra-elaborate "necrons inspired egyptians, actually"-grade cope of "all dinos in galaxy are just regular dinos old ones made them or something"
>>93225710
>>93225724Don't tell the grogs, they'll pretend it's amazing
>>93225726But the old ones and eldar did spread dinos all over
>>93225737Don't think that's ever been statedThere were stats for dinos in some ancient RT book I believe but that's it
>read the reddit necron book>starts with a battle on an exodite world>they're literally just described with lizardmen dinos>as in literally even called "carnosaurs" etc>even in books they're nothing more than shitty conversions
>>93225742I forgot about that, damn that's lame lol
>>93225720WFHB dragons were iconic and dab on the literal furfagshit running rampant now in smegmar.
>>93225726>or better yet Wayne BarloweIt doesn't click that he was actually part of the creature designers for avatar until you see the concept art
>>93225752Iconically shit sure.
>>93225752they still mog WFB dragons but GW just isn't very good at modeling dragons because of their autism. Can't just make a conventionally cool dragon, it has to be unique!
>>93225767Those look like scalie porn dragons.
>>93225767Disgusting garbage.
>>93225726>>inb4 some extra-elaborate "necrons inspired egyptians, actually"-grade cope of "all dinos in galaxy are just regular dinos old ones made them or something"You know it's this.Because GW is lazy and takes the past of least resistance.>>93225720This looks terrible.I appreciate the traditional 6 limbs, 4 legs, 2 wings, but the proportions are just fucking terrible.It looks like a child made this out of playdough.
>>93225767What's unique about those?
>>93225771>It looks like a child made this out of playdough.It's a Trash Carden sculpt so basically.
>>93225767At least the giant stardrake looks cool.It's generic in design, but that is what makes it work. Not everything has to be some super unique snowflake shit.
>>93225769>>93225720sorry wrong reply.
>>93225768
>>93225767Right, these are the scalie dragons with pubic hair bushes for some fucking reasonOnly good Warhammer dragons were made by Forgeworld (and now are gone forever)
>>93225781BACKWARDS KNEES
>>93225768Because they are. Smegmar is mask off furfaggotry.
>>93225781I don't like the front-legs of this thing.Though i've seen someone remove the front legs and mount the wings there turning it into a massive Wyvern and it looked fucking awesome
>>93225772Sideburns and hairy forelimbs? I've seen it elsewhere, especially on Eastern dragons, but I wouldn't say it's a very common element to slap on otherwise very classical looking dragons.
>>93225791>Only good Warhammer dragons were made by Forgeworld (and now are gone forever)They've been bringing some FW kits back with TOW releases. There's some hope.Although they'll be twice as expensive now.
>>93225767I understand neither this nor exoditesIf you want a dino/dragon faction, wouldn't you want that to be a PURELY dino/dragon faction where they were front & center instead of just slave labour beasts? Like with lizardmen?
>>93225791looks more like a wyvern than a dragon.
>>93225804Count the number of legs dipshit.
>>93225781How exactly is the ground marine on its back supposed to reach the enemy with his very short melee weapon? He doesn't even reach past half the dragon's torso.Presumably the rider is also completely irrelevant in combat anyway because he is squishier than the dragon and hits weaker.
>>93225795And that's a good thing.
Heres a comprehensive list of all the Eldar runes ever published. I dont know who needs to see this but you're all talking about Eldar shit, so...http://eldar.arhicks.co.uk/miscellaneous/eldar_runes.php
>>93225810>retractable penisWhy do dumbfucks who know nothing about animals peddle their dumb takes to the point of even making "OC"?
>>93225810Why, because it acts as an containment game to segregate all the degens?
>>93225808>How exactly is the ground marine on its back supposed to reach the enemy with his very short melee weapon?You can ask this for basically any fantasy mount in both fantasy battle and aos.
>>93225816Back to /aosg/ with ye
Whats wrong with normal raptor riding Exodites like god intentioned?
>>93225822I don't play that. I am just pointing out that you literally don't know what you're talking about
>>93225810Counterpoint: this is just the price of getting good art. Really, who is a great artist who's just a normal dude otherwise? They're always fucked in the head some type of way, and you've gotta just tolerate it if you want to get shit done.
>>93225807it still dont look like a dragon
>>93225826Looks dumb for an alien race. Although your example is slightly better because of the crestAlso thats by far the worst way of doing feathers on dinos
>>93225793The joints are fine on it, but the camera POV and all the bulky armor plates is what makes it looks fucky.
>>93225826because the autist doesn't understand exodites
>>93225793I think the forelimbs are arms rather than forelegs. So those are elbows rather than knees.
>>93224653Probably overzealous use of filler-primer
Why did the Imperium have such a raging chub for going to the galactic East from Terra? What was wrong with West?
>>93224653it's homemade
Do exodites even have titans or is this wooden ass looking thing just a complete failure in every way?
>>9322585740k maps always look so fucking awful.
>>93225808>How exactly is the ground marine on its back supposed to reach the enemy with his very short melee weapon?The same this dude here would reach >>93225720Ie. not at all.Most fantasy mounts are trash as cavalry in warfare realistically.But the reason why we humans make these things is purely because of rule of cool.There's nothing more badass than seeing a full plate armored knight riding on the back of a winged, fire breathing dragon.Honestly if you wanted to go super realistic with it, war dragons would be akin to war elephants IRL, meaning only advanced, sophisticated civilizations would have them, and they'd mainly be for shock and awe tactics.But to be consistent, dragons would have the advantage of being armored with steel strong scales, ability to fly and also then literally turn the enemies into ash through its fire breath.

>>93225865Its a fan updated thing because GW regularly forgets their own damn galactic lore, so I can forgive the less than stellar appearance.

Reposting my chapel barracks. Gonna start working on the stronghold today.
>>93225810>Slaaneshy tower is shaped and looks like a giant horse cockI mean, what the fuck did you expect?That is pretty spot on and thematic for the entire slaanesh faction.

>>93225874I hate to say it, but trying to keep track of the 40k map is just too fucking dumb to try and keep track of. Its really the one thing GW was right in completely ignoring.
>>93225857wat
>>93225863Exodites had several varieties of Knights in Epic, which could easily extend to Titans. As >>93225879 said, though, they're regular wraithbone.
>>93225877You're now obligated to have at least one fat drop pod meant to reach the landing pad from orbit with resources and personnel
>>93224115>>93225876Is that a fucking papier-mâché Imperator?
>>93225877You keep posting the same image anon. Can we see it from a different angle?
>>93225863exodites are normal eldar who choose to live simpler lives riding dinos, they've got everything normal eldar can haveI think they grow their wraithbone starting from some psychoreactive bone of dinos, but I'm not sure if that's only for particular shrines or in general and it's arbitrary whether it looks any different from other wraithbone
Stupid noob question incoming. I want to build an army of ork stompas out of tin cans and shit. I've never painted a model, and I don't want to give any money to GW, and I don't care if it's tournament legal, and I don't care if it's good.Where should I start?
>>93225917Start by coming up with a better story. Ask pavel how a normal human brain functions and try that.
>>93225816the kroxigor do legit have sculpted dick holes though, and squighogs have sculpted anuses.
>>93225857West is left, and the Left is bad
>>93225863Yeah but they're not made of wood. Exodites aren't actual Wood Elves, they just fill the same niche in the high/dark/wood elf archetype

>>93226002>>93226024I'd fuck right Also felinids are such a retarded secondary meme
>>93226024I prefer the implication that it's a "male vs female" affair, especially when you don't explain which is which
>>93225993Americans are weird, its just a nip. Why are mans nips totally fine, but womans not?
>>93226030No no, they're both female. Theres your "hot cat-girl" there on the right.
>>93226029They're fine in and of themselves, being such a minor mention. But the coomer obsession is another thing
>>93225942I like the brown colour of the coats. Whenever I try to do a light brown I either get too yellow/orangey or too greyish.
>>93226029Same issue with the fucking catgirls in Battletech.There's been a single image of a hooker with prosthetic cat tail and fake ears that secondary faggots somehow turned into literal genetically modified catgirls being like 90% of the Canopian population

>>93225890That's the public-access webway gate to Commorragh. Anyone willing to fly all the way to galactic fringe to enter can come bargain and trade in the ports of the dark city there. The Drukhari themselves can exit or enter the webway almost anywhere in the galaxy themselves, because they have knowledge of all the hidden back routes and tools to make jumps in and out.
Only when 3rd edition is brought back and 10th edition is destroyed will 40k begin to heal. Bring back the Rhino Rush.
>>93226067I think it's an amusing bit of characterization that a kroot would not be very particular of other species' morphology. I mean it makes sense that they wouldn't get hung up on the details.
>>93226187A Kroot Ork? A Kroork?
>>93226187I hope they think Felinids are just humans who ate a cat
>>93226190Damn, China confirmed in 40k
>>93226187depends on the type of differences, not every kroot is a shaper but surely they all get to recognise and analyse the characteristics or prospective meals
>>93224300The Emperor or his empire can't be fasist. There is no separation of church and state. Women and men roles aren't divided and kept separate. Fasism hates any form autonomy and the Imperium is full of it( Ad Mech, Navigators, Inquisition, Space Marines and the pinacle of it all Custodes). The w40k or w30k Imperium has as much to do with fasism as Moghol or Aztec empire did. And the Emperor himself can't cis or hetero, when he is a being outside of humanity. Calling him either of those two, is like calling a person who had a animal heart valve transplant a 100% pig.

>>93226305Micro plastics
How do we feel about using pic related as proxies for some DG boys? I'm not really sure what they could work as. My initial impression was maybe as melee plague marines, but the blightbois are made for 40mm bases and some of their stances are pretty wide. It'd probably look goofy on 32mm. Alternatively, do they have enough beef to stand in for deathshrouds? That feels like even more of a stretch tho since deathshrouds are so distinctive with their scythes.
>>93226309its is made from hardned foam over plasticard skeleton.
>>93226309that's macro plastic
>>93226315If you put the aos cartoony nurgle shit on the table I'm going to give you the flouride stare
>>93226309Gotta start them early
>>93226321Nurgle is already cartoony.
>>93226321>aos cartoonyAnon it's the exact same shit since 8e DG
>>93226315regarding DG. how different in looks were there Siege of Terra/post warp trip DG, to the w40k DG ? Because I have a large collection of unused DG (2 dark empires, 2 know no fears), I think I could tak a plunge in to HH with them. Mortarion probably looked the same in HH and w40k, just like all the other plastic primarchs.
do the deathguard ever exit their power armor
>>93226315Yeah just swap the heads, give them a slugga, glue on some ork bits, ez Plague Boyz.
>>93226315I don't inherently care about proxying as long as it isn't used to spam meta units
>>93225857Uhhh because they already extended to the edge of the habitable galaxy to the westTerra isn't in the centre, it's already in the west so you can't go too much further.
>>93226339you will endure my third party 120 count traitor guard list and you will enjoy it.
>>93226321>aos cartoony nurgle shitif anything fantasy nurgle mortals are LESS cartoony than 40k's death guard
>>93225857Terra is on the west side of the galaxy so there's less space to the west until you reach the edge
>>93226350Are... Are they cool, varied and interesting sculpts?
>>93226321Seems about even to me.
>>93226352Did GW get "inspired" by Frazzetas Deathdealer? Because they generaly get very uptight when someon gets "inspired" by their stuff.
>>93226352Not really, that's like the only good Nurgle model for both ranges because it was trying to remake an older design. Kind of like pic rel.
>>93226339Why would that make a difference? Do meta units become more acceptable when they're made of official GW plastic? What are you, some kind of gay faggot?
>>93225857the galactic west is a lot more homogenised, it's actually more densely settled, but each settlement is far more expansive. The galactic east are the wildlands of the galaxy, lots of small outposts and settlements that look great on a map but are mostly individually insignificant compared to the major settlements of the west.
>>93226370No I just don't like playing against faggots who need to rely on OP units.They could be using the bonafide prototype sculpts and I'd still think they take it up the ass.
>>93226360Blind, and PMs can be assembled without the cartoony optional shit.>>93226329Nobody uses these sculpts for good reason
>>93226382Anon you're just in denial.
>>93226352That fella stands out like a sore thumb in AOS' nurgle lineup. He's great, but also completely different in aesthetic to basically every other model
>>93226376I like to write "Questoris knight" on circles of cardboard
>>93226384I don't know why you're posting old models, nor what crack you're on to consider these as cartoony as the aos dogshit
>>93226382You're telling me no one uses the cartoons shit that is typhus?
>>93226386I kneel
>>93226392Oh no, those are the good looking ones.

>>93226395That's not typhus..
>>93226413And?
>>93226416And you appear to be either stroking out or ESL?
>>93226361I don't know if the Death Dealer specifically was one of the inspirations, but the sculptor described the project as a team effort with many different influences baked into the final product.>Maxime [Pastourel]: This model was a collaborative project with Carlotta Rossi working as the concept artist, David Waeselynck as the mock-up designer, then myself pulling it all together. Jes Goodwin – who sculpted the classic Herald of Nurgle model that inspired this harbinger – offered advice along the way.>The goal with the Harbinger of Decay was to capture a particular moment – that instant when he arrives at the top of a hill above an enemy town and gazes down upon it. He's menacing in a passive way, his presence terrifying even though he's not moving. Even his scythe is held casually by his wrist rather than in his hand. There's the impression he's looking at you, implicitly saying 'you're next.'>The key visual cues of this model are weight, wetness, decay and pain. The composition of the harbinger is almost entirely vertical, with hanging chainmail, dripping cloth, looping leather straps, dangling moss and drool leaking from the horse's mouth. The pain comes through the arched shape of the horse. Its head droops in misery; its mane is lank and rotten. At the back, the tail hangs limply to mirror that shape. The pustules, sores and exposed bone add to that sense of torment. There are lots of little details on this model, too – the pouch hanging from the saddle's pommel clearly has a skull in it, while the trophy rack on the horse's rump mirrors the mount's arched shape. The crow and the sign pay homage to the original miniature.

>>93226321>aos cartoony nurgle shitYou've got some severe dissonance here, anon.
>>93226385Almost all of the AoS Nurgle lineup is remnants of their WHFB range. That guy is an AoS original. I think it's him, the warcry stuff and the underworlds stuff that is actually new for Maggotkin and it's all good.
>>93226305Ben, save fewer pictures of other people's kids on your devices. Stop being a pedo.

To the like 5 or so anons who post models on this awful general I just wanna say without you this place would be nothing but tau and eldar hentai, racism(based) and retarded discussions about a mediocre games balance and how many folds a space marines foreskin should have to be codex compliant. You guys are alright dont come to the schola progenium tomorrow.
Gobbo anon go back to /v/
>>93226457As low effort as this post is, I must say: why don't you post your models instead of complaining?
>>93226447Not anywhere near as bad an entirely fixable compared to the cringeworthy AOS range? Thanks but I'm entirely informed. Sure the nurglings and optional parts look bad, thankfully that's fixable. AOS is just jump the shark territory
>>93226457>how many folds a space marines foreskin should have to be codex compliant5
>>93226457Go back to your shithole general.
>>93226470You just posted a model usable in 40k
>>93226470that's a demon, he's in the 40k range too
>>93226489>>93226488Primarily an AOS model, same aesthetics as the AOS range not usable in 40k. I don't respect anyone who puts that shit on the table
>>93226495>meanwhile, the 40k exclusive nurgle models
>>93226495>Primarily an AOS modelHow so?>same aesthetics as the AOS range Nurgle daemons have the same aesthetics in both games because they have the same kits...>not usable in 40kThis is just not true.>>93226500Don't fucking diss my boys...
>>93225942I've those guys too! :D
>>93226429They have such sights to show you there.Also, the BEST drugs.
>>93226500That's a Kill Team bro
>>93224005practically no new spae marine model ive actually liked. the primaris marines themselves look great as upscaled tacs (minus the new helmet), same for the jump assault marines and new terminators, scouts, all look good. but NONE, and i mean NONE of the new vehicles are any good. all of them are utter shit. the redemptor i can take or leave. fucks sake even the bikes. they just look weird. they just have a great big rectangle plonked on the front for the guns to sit under, and then theres no clearance underneath them? very sad
>>93226506>This is just not true.Oh you can use any AOS model in 40k now? Neat!
>>93226500I'm still mad they don't have rules to make them playable anymore AND they removed Death Guard possessed that I could have proxies them as.
>>93226532My bad
>>93226531Also a high chance of you getting tortured in unspeakable ways so that some sick fuck elf can use your despair and horror as anti-aging cream.
>>93226541What?
>>93226546They both have legends rules
Fellow devotees of the Four-Armed Emperor, how are you running your Acolyte Hybrids these days? I have two squads of ten. Since the change I'm not sure what to run them. Since I have to pull a few arms, maybe I should just swap them all out for metamorphs?
>>93226547Muh chungus
>>93226546I don't get why they're the only kill team stuck in Legends.>>93226555>hair
>>93226551>Same aesthetics as models you can't use in 40k>Yes you can
>>93226555That is a nauseating picture. I hate it. Everything's been dialed up to 11 and it just looks grotesque because of it.
>>93226559You need to word your clauses more carefully in the future. Notice how you had to change the wording in this post to make it more clear? Do that beforehand in the future.
>>93226541No, only the ones that fit the cartoonish aesthetic of the death guard, you can't use >>93226352 for example

>>93226531I can totally see Vect doing something like this just because he can.
>>93226558>>93226562I'm sorry Anon! I found a lust provoking image to increase engagement. plz no bully!
>>93226470how do you fix poxwalkers?why isn't aos fixable?
>>93226573I've got 2000 points of DG and I love every single sculpt except the Plagueburst Crawler, it's a bit boring compared to things like bloat drones on the terminator sculpts.
>>93226573>I love them so much>what? no! I don't actually own any
>>93226555I think it depends on how you're planning to deliver them. A ten man melee variant with a biophage jumping of a goliath in Bio-Sanctic definitely has some punch too it, as an example. I don't like demo charges at all any more, they're just too unreliable now and the unit doesn't do anything else.
>>93226429Why not? It's practically Space California with new leadership
>>93226599That's a shame because the PBC is one of my favorites. I wish its melee profile was a bit better, considering it has that giant fuckoff ram in the front. Drones are great too though, love the mower.>>93226604>You HAVE to own something to enjoy it!! You're not allowed to like something you don't collect!!!

>bug biology discussion in the last couple threads got my noggin joggin to try and sort out a comprehensive genus treeForge World bugs are proving the biggest obstacle, and a general sense of dissatisfaction with how broad the sub-Carnifex tree spread is. I've got some ideas for the latter, but aside from being fairly settled on Hierodule and Harridan being in a direct line, I don't actually know what genus they would spring from. The same goes for the Dimachaeron.Currently, on the "animal" side (there is a separate major branch devoted to Tyranid fauna, starting with microorganisms and upwards to the drop spores and spore chimneys. Undecided if fleet organisms would be in this branch, or another one for macro-animals) I have it divided from:Root Genus > Ripper > Gaunt/Warrior/Carnifex/Tyrant/Genestealer/Biovore90% of the Monster zoo resides inside the Carnifex tree, just the Tyrant, Emissary, Norn Queen, and Hierophant exist outside it. The FW exceptions I listed just don't feel like they fit inside even that wide variance. I also feel not entirely convinced by Toxicrene and Maleceptor living in that space, and they almost feel like they might fit in better with the Hierodule but they don't seem like they warrant their own branch under the Ripper genus either. Any other wannabe Xenologists have input?
>>93226630Fuck, Anon. You can't just own someone like that

>>93226626Even though I agree with your sentiment, a pile of plastic won't tear your face off because you took away its favorite fuck pillow.
>>93225742At least we get the imagery of trazyn literally punching a fucking raptor to death
>>93226636>90% of the Monster zoo resides inside the Carnifex tree>just the Tyrant, Emissary, Norn Queen, and Hierophant exist outside it.All of these are just carnifexes too.
So Incubi are totally loyal to coin and the contracts of their employers to a near religious extent, right? What kind of coin do you pay an Incubus in?
>>93226663chocolate ones
>>93226636Dimachaeri (would that be the plural? idk) are modified Tyrants who have lost their leader capabilities. So they belong to the Tyrannicus Praefactor genus.
>>93226609>I don't like demo charges at all any more, they're just too unreliable now and the unit doesn't do anything else.This is something I am concerned about. I had the squads set up as 2-3 demo-charges and 1-2 mining gear. Since I cant do that now I'm pondering what to do with them. I like the idea of metamorphs but the truck lost the scout keyword which was going to be my delivery method for the metamorphs.
>>93226682Goliath Trucks are dedicated transports, so if the unit inside has the scout keyword, they get the scout keyword too. So metamorph trucks can scout forward if you wanna be aggressive with them.
>>93226621>>93226644Wasn't 8th supposed to be a 120 year timeskip at first? Makes sense that the old Guard characters would've been squatted as lame as it is. They're not immortal like a Space Marine.And CHECKED
>>93226650Skeletal structure as determined by their general pose has been a determining factor too. I split Tyrant into its own family because of that and because of the importance of Synapse capability - there are of course Synapse offshoots inside families where the base of that branch is itself not synapse capable, but I wanted to maintain most of the Tyrant branch having Synapse as an identifying feature, as well as their more upright and straighter spinal column compared to most of the Carnifex family.>>93226679That's where I was leaning, particularly due to similarities to the Norn variants which I was going to classify under that as well. I haven't yet dug up all the high gothic genus names from existing charts/bullshitted my own for stuff that didn't exist, just sticking to the common names while I get a rough version of the chart done.I'm contemplating having an unidentified genus that the hierodule and harridan spring from, with a "???" base bioform that hasn't been identified yet. The body and head structures of those two are too distinctive to fit into anything else, I've found, the same reason why I split the Vores and Phage into their own.
>>93224087but that's not it's own bespoke datasheet is it? the furioso is the boxnaught that's likely to stay playable the longest.
>>93226714I mean there is a shared element of carapace on head fused to back carapace between Rippers, Hierodules, Harridan and Psychophage, so I'd be at least somewhat tempted to group them based on that
>>93226707>Goliath Trucks are dedicated transportsThanks for clearing that up. >metamorph trucks can scout forward if you wanna be aggressive with themThis is the plan. Biosanctic Broodsurge detachment with two squads of infiltrating genestealers, one 10-man brick of aberrants infiltrating with a predatory instincts abominant, and two trucks of metamorphs scouting up the midfield. Finally 10/20 man neophyte blobs deepstriking to grab objectives. I'm trying to keep the enemy in their deployment zone for as long as I can. What do you think?
>>93226714>hierodule and harridan spring from, with a "???"Really the explanation is a meta one. FW was experimenting and tinkering with a different body plan for Tyranids. Unlike the new Tyranid models that do this like the deathleaper, norn emmissary/assimlator models with extra limbs than the normal 6 and a tail. These versions is kind of fucked up, hence why the head is SO different from other strains So I think its perfectly in the spirit of 40k to turn the real meta reason into an in universe reason. They are the experimental abandoned bio-forms made by the norn queens not seen again by imperials since their first sighting at The Anphelion Project
>>93226799It's actually similar to the list I've been toying with, except I've been thinking of rockgrinders with acolytes in them and atalan jackals instead of trucks and neophytes for ranged fire support, but that seems like semantics, the core is the big blocks of infiltrators and a fo. It's pretty all-in, and I think the main worry is that GSC units just fold too fast. Bio-Sanctic doesn't really have any real defensive abilities (Bio-Horror Revelation gotta be the worst strat in the game) and some armies do *a lot* of damage. Like BA probably just run the fuck over that army and will lift 20 genestealer bodies and 10 aberrants in one fight phase with a single unit of death company. Still, with some luck, it might be able to do a version of wolf jail.
Noob here, is scatter terrain just there to provide something neat to look at or does it provide some benefit in game?
>>93226663I'd assume slaves to torture to nullify the soul-drain for the duration of their contract would be the bare minium, its the dark eldar version of food and board really. I'd assume that the Incubi temples would be RICH to afford their weapons, armour andto pay the Haemonculi to ressurrect their members
>>93226863Pretty sure Hierodules were first recorded to be within Kraken ranks tho>extra limbs than the normal 6 and a tailI think the "extra" limb is just a pseudopod similar to little grabby "feet" found on trygon tails. And what do you mean by "tail"?>abandonedNot abandoned from my heart.
>>93226636If I were you I'd not stop at morphological differences and a conventional tree to categorise them mainly for 3 reasons:-convergent adaptations can be a thing, so just how gargoyles and shrikes may belong to different geni, perhaps even tyrant guards and hive guards may do so-it's entirely possible some creatures (for example a ripper and a titan, or a tyrannic growth and a ship, or vore and a mine, or a symbiotic biomorph and a zoanthrope) are related but look completely different due to being different larval stages, just look at the absolute mess that are sea creatures larval stages -unlike the vast majority of normal evolutionary processes the hive can produce hybrids and use horizontal gene transfers, so whatever you create has to be not just a tree but a tree with cobwebswith that in mind one additional, but not in itself definitive, layer of indication of the creature's genus may be the practical use the hive mind has for it, because it would make sense that the swarm would have developed certain lines (worker, warrior, overseer, gatherer, tool, etc) very early on and that would probably show in whatever future development or adaptation it decides to make due to the founder effect
>>93226914I'd also not completely ignore these 2 imagesI know they seem contradictory at times, are not comprehensive, and are in-setting speculation from people who are not very knowledgeable or reliable, but my autism dictates them to be considered
>>93226899The Deathleaper has 2 feet, two arms with claws and 2 lictor talons and its skirt, but in its top third of its torso it has a spiked tentacle that comes out of its shoulder blade area, its tail has been converted to a skirt and it has an extra limb/tentacle> muddying the 6 limb body plan.Neurolictors have the ame thing with an extra/tentacle tail coming out of its brain at the back of its head.The Norn Emissary has the parastic backpack that gives it extra brains on its back and many little tentacles to gaurd its back. So the body plan is still >6 major limbs and a tail but now we see a slight change to>6 major limbs, tail and an extra spiked tentacle the size of its tail or many smaller tentacles appendages
>>93226943>but in its top third of its torso it has a spiked tentacle that comes out of its shoulder blade areaHuh, I thought his tentacle also comes from the brain, does it not?>many smaller tentacles appendagesPretty sure its the same deal as neurotyrant: these are their own respective symbiotic creatures.
Have any of you ever sold a 40k army and if so then why?
>>93226636>90% of the Monster zoo resides inside the Carnifex treeWarrior. Even in their own fluff the Warrior genus is at the root of a huge chunk of the Tyranid creatures.>>93226914Catachan devils cannot be Tyranids because they don't adhere to the established body plan and anything that diverges from it is not a Tyranid.
>>93226943the 'tails' that comes out of brains or backs are symbiote creatures
>>93226970Its weird it comes out of its...hunback?
>>93226992yes but I would argue that the addition of symboite creatures like that is a change in the bodyplan, but done much smarter by GW sculptors instead of the old FW models that looking nothing alike any other tyranid
>>93226979Sold my 500 pts custodes because I hate women.
>>93226981>they don't adhere to the established body planThey don't have to since they're Forgotten Fleets creatures which can be more wacky than regular nidsYou're correct that they're not exactly nids but they're tyranid-derived much like Fenrissian Krakens and the such
>>93227012>old FW models that looking nothing alike any other tyranidI think you're way too harsh, dules and harridan look very nice IMO and match the 3E nid aesthetic of bone helmets.
>>93227033Nah, man, if it's not what's in the box, then it's, by definition, not a Tyranid. I didn't make the rules, I just follow them.
>>93226981debatable for a number of reasons:>pseudopods that look like additional main limbs can be a thing>the additional segments may be immature progeny in a reproduction via gemmation >the tyranid bodyplan gets already seemingly broken in lesser biomorphs>the deviation from the standard bodyplan may be a thing that happens in the processes of naturalisation and separation from the wider influence of the hive
The funniest thing about fictional Praetorian Guard equivalents is most are nowhere as backstabby nor corrupt as their real life counterparts.
>>93227058It's not exactly a tyranid but it's an important part of the genealogy tree still since its devolved tyranid-derived fauna. It's not part of the engineered process made by a Hivemind but rather instinctual adaptation>>93227065Good postI think it's still important to adhere to the hexapedal anatomy for big creatures but you can still do a bunch of funky things within given constraintsAs a side note I am rly curious what's the deal with those Tyramites from Necromunda
>>93227012I never liked FW nids, but I don't see where they break the traditional bodyplan, unless you're referring to the head platesI kinda wish GW would do their own plastic hierodule that redesigns it back to the same spider form of the hierophant
will custodes bikes ever be good? Its the one vehicle I like in 40k and probably the only reason why I would ever make a custodian army.
>>93227065>using trygon as an example>when it has the same head, upper torso, lower torso, tail and six limbsYou'd be hard pressed to try and argue those little nubs along the tail constitute as limbs.
>>93226979Came super close to selling my admech at the codex drop. I decided against it before putting the listing on eBay because seeing the pictures of the models showed me how much I love the sculpts. They're just so great.The recent update gives me a bit of hope, but they'll still collect some dust for a bit while I do my Orks.
>>93227092>unless you're referring to the head platesThose don't breach the bodyplan either, Psychophage also has head fused to torso plates>I never liked FW nidsI am, although mostly harridan and barbaduleThere is something grotesque and heavy to barbadule's gait that I enjoy. IDK how to convey it, but that think looks like it doesn't just "roar", it "bellows"
>>93227099Imagine almost selling your army because your new codex wasn't as goodThese are the kind of subhumans you post with here
>>93227096NTA but they're obviously meant to resonate the same imagery as a centipede and they would indeed constitute as pseudopods in my opinion
>>93227099Those things are smaller than I imagined, damn. Arent they sold for like $60 or something in singles? What a rip off.
>>93227073That's the thing they are treacherous. They maintain the golden throne and the Emperors corpse when the Emperor is very much the kind of guy to want to be put out of his mystery and his work destroyed. Everyday they betray the Emperor.Still they never sold the Imperium to the richest man in the empire like the real Praetorian guards.
>>93227096I'm arguing that they may be homologous structures to what you think are the extra limbs here >>93226981
>>93226869>Bio-Sanctic doesn't really have any real defensive abilities (Bio-Horror Revelation gotta be the worst strat in the game)This is the problem I'm dealing with too. I am putting a lot of hope on the metamorphs 5+ FNP (4+ with an icon ward) and a lot of prayers to the four-armed emperor that I go first.
>>93227130>what you think are extra limbsYeah, those clearly are not limbs, they're just articulated, multi-jointed thingies it walks on.
>>93227110It was more because I just couldn't see myself playing the army again and having fun with them, and hadn't for so long. It's not a crime to want to have fun with your army, even if it's not going to win games.But again, I didn't sell them. My love of the admech models themselves kept me in.>>93227115Yeah, they're expensive as fuck. They're pretty much biker size for a higher price.
>>93227103>There is something grotesque and heavy to barbadule's gait that I enjoy. IDK how to convey it, but that think looks like it doesn't just "roar", it "bellows"I get you anon, its low profile and gait makes me think its roar in low frequencies like a T-rex roar, you don't 'hear it' you 'feel' it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eqJYtFO3SI The video makes T-rexs sound like larger angrier toads to outright dragons, spooky cool stuff
>>9322711560 for 3.Admech is priced at weight in gold.
>>93226943I really wish they wouldn't make exposed brain Tyranids, or at the very least not ones that can take a bullet to the brain from the front.
>>93227183It is morally correct to print/recast admech models due to the absolutely absurd price of the army. If the balance dataslate came out with nothing other than an announcement for a price drop for every admech model it'd be the best balance dataslate they've ever done.
>>93226979I'm thinking about selling the guard army I've collected over time. In favour of going 95 percent 3D printing guard models that appear to be in the same or similar scale as the new Cadians. The problem is that I let life get in the way and whenever I painted I did it with "practice models" so I barely started the army. I'd be selling a glorified bitz box of third party guard models. So I'm kind of stuck.
>>93227159you'd be surprised
>>93227197This was one of the funny things about discussion of the AdMech balance problem. Technically they had winning lists still and decent performance with one of their detachments. But it required such an absurdly expensive skew list to play that no player in their right mind would ever be able to pivot into playing the faction that way except for the most diehard obsessives.
>>93227193Considering they're psyker brains those things are more bullet proof than the exoskeleton surrounding it. But yeah it makes us perceieve it was an easy weak point/ massive fatal wound. Guess if you saw an alien bug with what should be fatal wounds tearing through tanks and ranks of men would give you a real alien unspeakable fear
>>93227193Anon that's like complaining about Inquisitors with Rosarius' having their faces not covered. All brain bugs have psychic forcefields, which is usually represented by an Invuln Save.
>>93226979im half tempted to sell my angron for a vanguard box and probably something extra from 40k. If world eaters are so dependent on the primarch to play the game then I don't wanna bother with it.
>>93227210There's a similar problem with Drukhari right now. All their winning lists require like 11 out of print resin models to even start playing competitively. It was even more ridiculous before the new Mandrakes, when you needed 26 out of print models.
>>93227099I couldn't give them up, they're just so cool.
>>93227211>>93227215Why not big boney carapace AND psychic shield?
>*teleports a grot up your ass*
Do you reckon tyranids can evovle the colour control squids, cuttlefish etc have where they perfectly fit into the cover they're hiding in
>>93227237Weight, I guess
>>93227237maybe the big boney carapace gets in the way of the extra psychic reach/power
>>93227237 People like painting naked brains and not just MORE exoskeleton carapace
>>93227244>Oh no, don't do that ;)
>>93227250What do you think a lictor is
>>93227210This is why winrates are the stupidest thing for GW to point at when writing rules. 9th edition Orks post-speedwaagh nerf were carried by a single list that performed well and were untouched for most of the edition because of it.It's most likely going to happen again. Dread Mob and Kult of Speed Desperately needed a buff, but were completely ignored because of the Green Tide and Bully Boyz problem.
>>93227021You never owned those, newfag.
>>93227250lictors already do that
>>93227257but they could have big brains behind big bones, still exposed, just not about to take a bolter round from the front and turn their academic prospects into chunky soup.
>>93227244Good old grot up the arse never fails.
>>93227210>>93227099Catering the game to curb tournament meta-lists was the worst decision ever, everyone else has to suffer just because some fruits cant resist powergaming.
>>93227268Win rates are just an easy metric to measure. They clearly recognize that they don't tell the whole story though because aot of their rules cha ges don't seem to necessarily follow along with what the community deems as the current meta problems. Or at least, they tend to think a step ahead about how other factors might impact the game more like play rates and internal balance.But then some of their decisions are bizarre and seem completely out of nowhere.
>>93227267ah of course, should of read their wiki first>Contrary to Imperial belief the Lictor is not a true species of individuals but rather a single entity reincarnated and reproduced countless times over. Like a Hive Tyrant, every Lictor inherits the memories and experiences of all other slain members of its species. They are a single will directed by the Hive Mind.Ah the source of this is Devastation of Baal, thats a pretty crazy claim to make, including hive tyrants I thought that ability was unqiue only to the swarmlord??
>>93227250>>93227274>>93227267I like the Deathwatch little story about a lictor/genestealer SCP that has evolved to either occlude human perception itself or learned phase shifting>https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Unknown_Genusor the implication could also be that it's literally a faulty stasis device that randomly triggered and everyone's fucking dumb lol.
>>93227276forcefield>but why not bothcuz resources and 1 thing is enuff already
>>93227300I don't recall anything like that in DoB. There's a clever and deadly lictor in it, but it's not really special in any way. And Hive Tyants don't inherit memories, that's a specific feature of the swarmlord and the only thing that makes it unique.
>>93227319NTA but it'd make sense if more tyranids would inherit memories at least in some part because all tyranids get fucking melted into soup either waySo even if say, Dagon Overlord or Nephilim King are victorious, they'd still "kill" themselves in reclamation pools I think
>>93227300>>93226943Thicctor > Lictor
>>93227352I mean at least you picked the version without boobs but I am still disappointed.
>>93227339>NTA but it'd make sense if more tyranids would inherit memories at least in some part because all tyranids get fucking melted into soupWouldn't it make sense that their memories are uploaded to the hivemind and new tyranid bioforms can be given those memories to download if the Hivemind wants them to? Its not the same creature as said on the wiki with lictors >>93227300 its different bio-robots getting information from other bio-robots of the same design downloaded into them.The hivemind could and would probably mix and match memories as it saw fit. However I'm still sure its only the swarmlord that has this privilege, the rest run on instincts/ blood memories alone unless told what to do by syanpse creatures
>>93227352>no stockingscoward
>>93227352By the Emperors name.
>>93227352>no boobs>no human faceIt's trash.If you're going to do coomer shit, at least do it right.
>>93227389You're even worse, lowlier than an ironic weeb
>>93227402>>93227389you're both just awful
>>93227375Do imperials ever stop to think about whether they know the emperor's name?
>>93227402>zoophile thinking he's better
>>93227422Between xenophile coomer shit that at least fits the army aesthetic and cringe human shit that doesn't belong in nids? Yeah the former is better if by not a huge margin
>>93227301>or the implication could also be that it's literally a faulty stasis device that randomly triggered and everyone's fucking dumb lol.kek, good read thanks anon, a bunch of Imperials trying to study literally nothing out of their xenophobia is peak 40k

>>93227463Yup
So what was the official tournament ruling on pivots for overhanging models on round bases last weekend? I assume various judges/event hosts had some kind of sanity clause in effect?
>>93227465All derivations of Giger's work are inherently sexual
>>93227479I don't care.
>>93227476Should look good with the 3rd ed thing you have going on.
>>93227290>waacfags and compfags ruin it for everyone Not surprising that people who choose to consume the worst version of 40K are also the retards who ruin it for everyone. >>93227443Nice work, I’ve gotten into a terrain mood and going to get some bits to make the old red spikes cacti when I get back from my holidays
>>93225210good morning nigga
>>93227443Always recommend gauze as cargo/camo netting, if it's at all relevant
>>93227498Are you saying retards from other editions didn't also optimize the fun out of the game? Because I can assure you, they existed throughout.
>>93227478TOs aren't a single entity, events are going to rule differently
>>93227478erm what the sigma
>>93227500how the fuck did you know
I attempted a banner
Should you texture your tanks?
>>93227507They have but GW excessively focusing on feedback from tournaments as a way to balance the game is objectively retarded. Compfags are a minority in the hobby but GW bends over for them as they’re the loudest when it comes to bitching about rules. It’s catering to a loud minority who think they’re deigned to some control over the hobby.
>>93227528cause you posted 7 hours ago
>>93227531Yes but you don't need to use that toxic tamiya shit, use texture paints.
>>93227530Soul
>>93227530Nice. I’m going to be attempting one when my DC chaplain finally gets here.
>>93227528We know you, Michael.
>>93227530based, keep it
>>93227560not my name>>93227536fair
>>93227530Cute i love it
>>93227531no, 38000 years into the future tanks aren't going to have the mottled iron texture of WWII vehicles
>>93227535GW bends over for retards, not tournaments.
>>93227641that face is terrifying
>>93227597why not?
>>93227657Futuristic tanks have better manufacturing processes than we have now.
>>93227531If you want them appear to be made from cast steel, then yes.If not, then not.
>>93227666Yeah but admech have autism
>>93227657because not only are they made of entirely different material, there's no way in hell that in 30000 years the process of manufacturing armor hasn't improvedeven modern tanks don't have the rough texture of WWII vehicles
>>93227597Even in WW2 not every piece of steel looked like that. But if someone likes the look, Im sure somewhere in the 40k universe is a backwater world using some ancient metalurgy to make battle tanks.
>>93227478My friends have rules lawyered that repulsor tanks are on round bases and by RAW that means they don't pay for pivots, so I'm blu tacking 25mm round bases to all my vehicles not on bases so mine are also on round bases and therefore don't pay for pivots either, they can try appealing to "but they didn't originally come on round bases" but the rules don't explicitly state they have to so they won't be able to argue the toss.
>>93227597So, what kind of tool marks should they have?
>>93227759Paint brush strokes.
>>93227759none
>>93227725I feel like flying vehicles should've been the exception. They hover for fucks sake, pivoting is nothing.
>>93226979I sold my original orks army since I built them like shit and couldn't be bothered to dig myself out of the hole I got myself into. I started them over in 9th edition and was able to recover some I had sold to a friend, but the majority was sold online. I started a GSC army in 9th, got it to about 1k but I could never really commit to a colour scheme or army idea so I sold them as a lot. Honestly GSC is one of the most tempting army for me to start again.Also did a necrons army in 9th because of the indomitus box, ended up selling them half to a friend half online again, honestly got sick of painting metal and they weren't that fun to play either.
>>93227691>>93227725is that why 40k tanks have very functionally angled plates to deflect blows and no rivets at all?
>>93227790Flying vehicles got super fucked by the changes to flying movement anyway on TOP of most of them having their total speed reduced so it seems only fair that they should get some kind of help moving around a battlefield crowded with as much terrain as they recommend now.I think the only unintentional interaction is with charge ranges, but that's easily disregarded by any sane player.
>>93227725The idea of the Tantalus spinning around like a fucking beyblade as it moves is still hilarious to me.
NUDE THRUDE>>93227805>>93227805>>93227805
>>93227798only army that should have that are the orks as they don't give a fuck as long as it works
>>93227725If they want to use the base for the repulsor, demand that they do ALL measurements from the base of the model as well. Easy solution.
>>93227790It would be fine if it were stated and consistent, the issue is the game does not acknowledge them to be on bases for any other reason, therefore they shouldn't be considered on bases when pivoting. Also repulsor vehicles don't even fly anymore, functionally they're no different to predators or land raiders when it came to movement before, there's no sensible reason why they should be considered on bases. It's pure pedantry either way.
>>932277259th said measurements are done from the hull on hover tanks and theres probably errata in 10th that says the same
>>93227830Yeah, they had a specific Hull rule for it that got deleted in the transition to 10e. They have added rules commentary for vehicles that overhang their bases as it pertains to melee combat (and now movement between terrain features as of the last update) but the official rule is all other measures are still made to and from the base.
>>93227873They added a rules commentary that states the same thing, unless a vehicle with a base is an aircraft or walker all measurements are done from the hull or base, so it's muddy at best.
>>93227073>Why yes, I know the Custodes were secretly all Chaos worshipers. The Emperor seeks death so he can reincarnate but the Custodes and High Lords have keet him alive so it doesn't happen. The Emperor is becoming so desperate that he's attracting Tyranids to Terra in hopes of achieving this goal.
>>93223887>TQOriginal Space Marines with the beak.
