>>97522795
Let Chaos idols take this thread!
Thought I'd get more done on this guy than I did today, but it turns out there's more model here than I thought
>>97522795>TQNo. Here’s a wip instead.
>Go to LGS in local area for the first time>People wearing their competitive team shirts instead of normal clothes>Not a single person kitbashes their models, everyone playing on perspex or wooden L-shaped blocks with grey models that are built exactly to the instructions/box art>I think that people are more into the competitive side so I adapt and I give takebacks, and I give advice on how to score more points on the missions when the other person would otherwise be leaving points on the table, get no leeway in return>Try to talk in the group chat>Get ignored, as soon as a regular says something they get an immediate responseSo, how was your first experience at the LGS, anons?
>>97522860Hey buddy, /hhg/ is two doors downwhat are you running him as?
>>97522862There is a grand total of 1 LGS that's less than a 25 minute drive from me. I went tin there like three times for models and paint, each time I was firmly ignored until one of the people there playing magic or chatting revealed themselves to be an employee and came over and let me check out. But the third time I saw they were doing a Warmahordes growth league. (which lets you know how long ago this was) And I was like, OK, yeah, I'd like to try actually playing a tabletop game, and I can start with I think like a 50 dollar box of these cool robot dudes. Yeah, I'm in!So I build my guys, prime them, manage to get a bit of paint on them but not finish them before the first game night. I roll up with my new little armyTo be clear, this was explicitly marketed as an entry point for new players. The flyer they'd made for this league was like, "try out Warmachine!" "new players welcome!" "experienced players will show you the ropes!" etc.So I move my little guys forward, he moves his little guys forward, I shoot my longest range gun at one of his guys and do a couple points of damage, he does three things that all interact in some way I don't understand and all but one of my models are dead. He says "yeah, you're gonna lose all of your games at first but you'll figure it out eventually" we shake hands, walk away, I haven't played a tabletop game since.But the employees at the store have gotten a lot better at acknowledging customers.
Im gonna be honest, the game should be fully playable as a rpg at 750-1250 points.
>>97522860green enough
SOON...
>>97522860this is the second /40kg/ homebrew painter doing a saturnine praetor in 2 days
>>97522917I sure hope so
>>97522860What a bigg boy, he's coming along wellHere too is a wip, i need to add the shattered glass stuff to the bases in the morning
>>97522917Its going to be a necrocum terrain piece
>>97522917I would love a large Defiler-equivalent vehicle or a remade Defiler itself, but I don't like how modern chaos vehicles & heavy units are so fleshy, I prefer vehicles and walkers to be almost entirely mechanical. Comparing the Helbrute and Heldrake, the drake is the about the limit of flesh : machine ratio for my taste. That's just me though, and I accept that.
army for this feel?
>>97522917god I hope that rumored Iron Warriors Combat Patrol turns out to be real. That'll be all the more infantry I need, and after that I can focus on tanks, Daemon Engines, and big fucked up guys
>>97522955at this point I want femmarines to be real so I dont have to see this much fucking femarine art.
>>97522956Why do you think there would be less art of them
>>97522951before the new kit was announced, I was idly considering trying to do a Defiler using 30 Minute Missions kits. Use this guy's arms as the legs, grab a good torso, throw on a couple guns, you're golden. Might be a tad big, I'm not sure.Ironically what held me back was I like my Daemon Engines with some flesh on them
>>97522957because they would be ugly as hell.
>>97522958Add some fleshy bits thenget some animals and start bashing things together
>>97522959That doesnt stop people with the femstodes or sisters of battle
>>97522891Termi captain. Nothing fancy. He’s gonna be my chapter master. Now that Zorro’s taken charge of the chapter he cracked open the old vaults of wargear the chapter’s been hoarding since they were founded. Trading in his old terminator armour for the Panoply of the Star Crucible. The sole remaining fully functional saturnine armour the chapter has. Recovered from a forgotten battlefield at the edge of the Ghoul Stars.>>97522933Lovely ladies.>>97522918I missed the other one, what colours?
>>97522860Only got the sword brother left to do, then it's basing and on to the next project
>>97522860That little volcano on his roundel is cute.
>>97522973Black Templars are pure sex.
>>97522973Solid work. The subtly of the highlights is doing it for me.
>>97522860I still don't get the need to make saturnine armor overscaled
>>97522860i don't have any new wips or models to post but i just picked up a johnny which i am unreasonably excited to paint
>GW site lied, Krethusa uses a 60mmThat makes this much easier.What do I swap her staff tip out for to make her more daemon princely?
>>97522968this one >>97518214Just funny that it happened twice in such close proximity
Guys, there's something weird about the new commissar.
>>97522999Someone at high up in GW has a grudge for the discontinuing of the 54mm Inquisitor game, and in a few more years his plan of vengeance to make all of 40k into 54mm will come to fruition.
>>97523001my foreskin
>>97522917I'm excited to see if they could possibly have made it worse somehow. I mean, they literally can't make a worse model than the original... Right?
>>97523010>not posting the final version
>>97523010Sanctioned Abhuman Strain: Knife Eared Humans.
>>97523028>AIslop
>>97523028this one gives me a headache to watch because of the frame rate. first one also is stylistically different. I like the first one more.
>>97523035It's not AI either. You can tell that >>97523028 had some AI editing due to the flags.
>>97522999They already got two suits of terminator armour, they couldn't make it the "vanilla" suit like indomitus (even though both FW and GW have stated the two suits were mechanically nigh identical) because of reasons and I bet they wanted some 30k version of Centurion suits (big, carries guns, weird anatomy for the user).
>>97523001night lord's tortured banneralso give her horns protruding from the diadem over her eyesextra eyes to the ravenenemy helmets and skulls littering the baseand paint her skin either black or red
>>97523001I kept mine the same when I was proxying her as a nightbringer. Mainly cause I was afraid of fucking up the model with my shitty kitbashing skills.Now that there's a new nightbringer out, I guess I can keep her around as a cool winged daemon princess as well? Like you anon. I kinda regret not doing a more "night lordy" paintscheme at the time, but wcyd.
>>97523051it would have already been a suit with a gimmick because of its weirder shielding and weapons
>>97523058what happened to my image, I swear I uploaded it too.
>>97522994Cheers. I've always preferred a subdued, pre-wash highlight.
>>97523063LOOKS LIKE AN SMT CHARACTER THE WAY YOU PAINTED IT WHICH IS SO COOL
>>97523062If you made it regular terminator size (and presumably making it so the operators arms are inside the arms, making the guns more like regular terminator heavy weapons, rather than ones replacing the lower arm of the suit), how do you justify it getting access to such weapons over all the other terminator suits?
>>97523085same reason it's got now: its power source is built differentit's certainly not carrying esoteric weapons just because it's slightly taller
It's just baffling how Crisis Sunforge's Reroll wounds & Dmg 2 meltas is better than normal Crisis 3 meltas! And at 60 points less! And the same goes for Fireknife, and I assume also Starscythe.There's no room for old Crisis (w/Turbojets), GW's Loadouts really are what peak performance looks like
>>97523081Hey Im glad you like it anon, its definitely still one of my favorite models. Im just a bit saddened that it was so long ago I dont really remember the process I used to make that awesome cosmic cape. I kinda wanna retry it on some other models in the future. I'll figure out though.
This is gong to end up being a limited time release isn't it. I'm going to not buy it, and in a year I'll be looking at Huron priced at 50 dollars for his single model thinking "it sure was dumb to not buy that" aren't I
>>97523091>its power source is built differentIf a power armoured marine can carry a heavy weapon and an extra power/fuel/ammo source for it on his back, so can a terminator. >it's certainly not carrying esoteric weapons just because it's slightly tallerThe weapons, especially the close combat ones, look pretty big for regular 30k terminators.
>>97523117>If a power armoured marine can carry a heavy weapon and an extra power/fuel/ammo source for it on his back, so can a terminator.the saturnine power source is not an addon to the armor, it is the armor, it's what gives it the pauldron shape>The weapons, especially the close combat ones, look pretty big for regular 30k terminators.because terminators are not known for carrying big weapons, right?
>>97522795I think the leg swap helps improve the look. Im not sure if the size difference of of the actual kits will be comical.
>>97523134there's no significant size difference
>>97523129Saturnine blades are comically, cartoonishly, stupidly big. Silly like 3rd party bitz silly. And I want them to get bigger. I'm a silly accelerationist. The dam will break.
>>97523138
>>97523138Is the muzzle of his gun sword feeding directly into the sword?
>>97523153How big are we talking here?
>>97523179Is this your first time seeing a sentinel blade?
>>97523180Hella
>>97523183>moves the power weapon circuitry out of the way>muzzle of the weapon not feeding directly into the swordI had to bring up the reveal pics to check for certain but the gun part of sword is absolutely feeding directly into the blade, the promo pics didn’t even try to drill the barrels.
>>97523117That firedrake model was hot and I'm not sure why GW never ever ever primaris'd that team or released a full salamanders terminators upgrade sprue.
>>97522795 >>TQ:Current WIP finally getting back into shit after having snotlings of my own
>friend received a Tau army for almost nothing from a coworker>his first 40k army after playing SM2 >he wants to paint them the box art white Good luck to him lmao
>>97523052>>97523058Intention is to give her ashy pale skin. Could actually leave the staff as is, it seems adequately spikey enough and I can incorporate it into the backstory, just wasn't sure it would work as well. She's already got the 'crazy mutated witch' vibe.
>>97522956>femmarinesHow many of those who say they want female marine models actually make female marines through using official female heads and third party/stls?
>>97522973look so good, how long have you been painting?
>>97523293Not too hard to do if he gets an airbrush...
>>97523367Thanks mate. I started painting minis for a year or two in the 2010s, stopped for about ten years, now I've been back in the hobby again for about a year at this point. So three years ish total, with a big gap in the middle. I'm still at the point where each new thing I paint is a little better than the last. But I paint quite slowly, that squad has taken two months so far
>corsairs going up immediately>won't be able to get the box because it'll be sold out in five seconds and I'm gonna be at workGW's incompetence saves me a lot of dosh these days. Just make it made to order, goddamn.
>>97523389airbrushes are for homosexuals and soulless hacks
>>97523429post a model you've painted right now or be forever condemned as a nomodels
>>97523389He fortunately is getting an airbrush too. >He got 4 Pathfinder boxes in the haul that seems like a lot.
>>97522860Happy with the blue at this point
>>97523436anything more than a rattle can primer is cheating and gay
>>97523429>>97523519just say you're poor next time lmao
>>97523094I think all go well with the Coldstar Commander...and sadly he doesn't seem to work in the MontKa detachment. A pity
>>97523531>rich nomodels
>>97523549No homo(dels)
Who are “the most spoiled” army in the imperium lorewise? by that I mean, most well off when off-duty or even get to go home and see family (if they have some)>SalamandersAllowed to occasionally visit family>Tempestus ScionsCome from nobility and if they survive service may get to return to it>Ratlings in the guardProbably serve with their friends, get best pick of the rations, could probably go AWOL if they wanted>UltramarinesUnclear on this but I think they do get opportunities to chill out with their folks in Ultramar if they come from native noble families.
>>97523549quiet down brokie
>>97522917I think they're going to go full crab with it
>>97523582Definitely needed an airbrush to paint that bad boy. Black and dirty yellow must have broke the bank
>>97523586I assumed they would, but Valrak's source specifically mentioned it would have different heads for the different legions/chaos gods, so maybe it will still have the same general design idea, just smoother and better matching the current menagerie of daemon engines. Granted, those could be crabby heads.
>>97523589maybe you'll get that burgerflipping promotion and be able to afford a 40 dollar airbrush instead of seething about normal painting mediums on 4chan
>>97523589>lashing out when your accusations are shown to be falseembarrassing behavior
>>97522953Night Lords
lord of change or kaios?
Are all of the Imperium's million worlds just a horrible existence to live in or are some of them pretty good? If you could move to one which would you pick?
>>97523640Lord of Change because I hate named characters in my uniquely storied donut steel armies
>>97523655Lots of them are pleasant if you're in the upper class, all of them suck if you're a serf.
>>97523519stolen
>>97523581Imperial Agents technically? Rogue Traders live the good life, and inquisitorial authority gives Inquisitors and their retinue a lot of leeway. But that doesn't count as a real army.Ratlings like you mentioned are content when well fed (they are never well fed, but they are good at finding provisions so it evens out). What about Ogryns? They're stupid and simple to please, but mostly they're just too stupid to realize they are being abused.
>>97523425ohhhhhhhhh I just realized the reason eldar didn't get a battleforce last year is because GW was releasing this battleforce this year.
>>97523655Most imperial planets are like Earth, really run by a secret cabal of Slaaneshi cultists
>pre-scalped battleforcesYeah fuck that.
>>97523668Sorry for posting 4 years ago, I'll go buy a thing I don't need so I can finally paint my models black
>>97523675Each chaos faction has already gotten 2 battle forces
>>97523515Also did a little more work on this guy as well.
>>97523689>everybody laughing at my meltdown is the same personlol
>>97523689Maybe if you had an airbrush that shitty camo texture wouldn't be so chunky
>>97523695chaos is special elder are not.
>>97523681There's already around 10 requests for the box at my LGS, no way in hell it isn't sold out instantly next weekSeriously, what the hell's up with Eldar this edition?
>>97523710I got some voidscared so I was thinking completing the set would be cool but I'm not going to fight people for the privilege of spending 250 dollars.
>>97523700No need to lash out in anger.
>>97523710The army finally doesn't have 80% of their range in metal.
Who here is playing Endfield?
>>97523681Don’t fucking care. Where are exodites. That’s all that matters. This pirate shit is fucking cringe.
>>97523727I prefer the original. I'd like to think some Craftworlds are like Ægir.The Imperium getting their hands on Originium is a funny idea though.
>>97523744Dinosaurs and men who like them are actually cringe and pirates were always the cooler niche.
>>97522862and then you said "enough of this soulless waacfaggotry" and the owner of the store busted out their old army to play you in a game of third and everyone clapped
>>97523668>archivefag
>>97523134I really like the new Custodes models.
>>97522795>TQWhy would I post the most cringe faction in the game?
World Eaters rhinos and land raiders should have a door at the front with explosive bolts so they can charge out faster
>>97523780mine has a thresher blade in the front
>>97523724Don't try to take the high road when you started to melt as soon as somebody else posted models opposing you
>>97523783I think a combine harvester or mine flail type of thing would look cool
>>97523788Combine harvester is what I meant actually
>>97523787>everybody that interacts with me is the same personlol
