first
I just went to play my first ever game of 40k at my local todaymy opponent roll multiple 6 so on the first turn advanceSo i did a turn 1 waah and just throw everything midboard somehow manage to win by 5 points
Thousand sons need to be removed
>>98835338With the new fight changes it seems like just going all in as quick as possible is a decent strat now. If you can be the one who makes their charges first you pretty much win the game
>>98835344Haven't played since the start of 10th.Does this finally mean I get to pick first in my fucking turn?
Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98835337They're really not, and you're queefing out your 2nd pair lips if you think different.
>>98835348Yeah unless your opponent has fights first, but even if your opponents have a fight-first rule, on the charge you always fight first.
>>98835351Please stop
>>98835352Citadel base paints are pigment heavy. I have no idea why you would think any different.
just finished a hospitaller, currently working om junith. i like how my sisters are coming along <3
>>98835354Thank God. Personally the worst rule.
>>98835366Give them some foundation at least
>>98835354So fight first doesnt let hitting the guy hitting you first during your own charge anymore right?it used to let the defender attack first but now its the same but attacker with FF attack first then enemies with FFthen alt between the attacker and defender until every engagement unit attacked that turn?unless i'm understand this wrong?
>>98835364goalposts starting to move now lol
>>98835369alternating creates grey areas where yeah sometimes it lets them actually fight first in charges but it's mostly for ongoing combats now. sometimes fights first is a negative where you have to pick them next even if you don't want to.
why is there barely any exodite fan (34) art?
>>98835369Your unit gets FF on the charge. When two units have FF the unit owned by the player currently taking their turn goes first.
>>98835374Ah, you're a paintlet shitposting. My bad, enjoy the (You).
GW in 2012>>Warhammer 40,000 may be somewhat different to any other game you have played. Above all, it’s important to remember that the rules are just the framework to support an enjoyable game. Whether a battle ends in victory or defeat, your goal should always be to enjoy the journey. What’s more, Warhammer 40,000 calls on a lot from you, the player. Your responsibility isn’t just to follow the rules, it’s also to add your own ideas, drama and creativity to the game. Much of the appeal of this game lies in the freedom and open-endedness that this allows; it is in this spirit that the rules have been written.Now>OMG guysss GW nerfed my Detachment Stratagem I'm going to [redacted]>the game looks like shit 99% of the time and nobody cares
>>98835382because coomers are lorelets
>>98835386Trying too hard. I accept your concession. Maybe stick to Army Painter?
>>98835387No I specifically remember the melties from;Fish of furyRemove from play Chimera carparkMusical woundsFlyersGrey knights
>>98835387I feel bad for most 40k players. My group only does open play and we make datasheets for our OCs
>>98835342I was into playing them for a bit but realized cult legions are just gayer CSM
>>98835368her head is honestly too small for makeup tbqh. i would end up just botching it
>>98835328>TQ...Grotesques
>>98835390>buzzword>buzzword>irevelant range that implies I think pigment heavy paints are badLol
>>98835393>fish of furyKek that takes me back. Tau paid for that one for a long time.
>>98835358I will for this thread, not sure about my new cultist.
>>98835400>off-topic post that only functions to respond to the conclusion of a discussion about hobby paints.Lets try to keep things on-topic. What's your answer to the thread question? Mine is the Razorback
>>98835414>Citadel paints are off-topic
I actually still don't know who gets the first ongoing combat. That fucking rule is written so inscrutably my eyes just start to fucking glaze over every time I attempt to parse it
>>98835405>I will for this thread>After I already posted, teehee~!>BUT I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT NEXT THREAD LE XD LE LE XD XD ECKS DEEEEEThis is why we all hate you.
>>98835428Fuck someone told me about the change but i forgot too.
>>98835428the opponent. fighting just goes back and forth starting with whoever charged first
>>98835433hes now going to samefag defend himself and pretend its all one anon shitting on him
>>98835428>>98835437Clearer formating
30 vs 30 termies match is the peak 40k
>>98835439He also already laid the groundwork to claim it's someone else by claiming he has a "disciple" now. This is why you can't trust aussies.
>>98835382Because Exodites are pure and not for lewd (as hot as it would be).>>98835366Looks good anon but trim your fucking finger nails.
>>98835422No, but this >>98835400 attempt at saving some dignity after the discussion about paints was concluded was definitely off-topic. You couldn't even answer the on-topic legends question or even acknowledge that I liked the razorback.Shame.
>>98835428so basically>attacker pick one FF to go first>alt with enemies FF unit if there is any, if they dont have any its back to your next FF unit>if all FF are spend, the attack get to start attack by first pick whatever engaged unit>alt with defender until until all engaged units have attacked that turn
>>98835328>TQHierodule. Biased because I have one. For so long it was on my must have list until I finally managed to place that FW order.
>>98835447>asking a SoB player to trim their nailsFat chance
>>98835472I like that it's spearing an Imperial Fist through his lumbar spine. Fuck those guys. The 'dule is cool too. Did you ever get one of those Dimachaeron things?
>>98835467You type like a faggot
Which wins for most convoluted rules of the edition?>Fight phase activations with pile-in ranges and overrun fights on death interactionsOr>Transports with six different types of disembark moves triggering under very slightly different scenarios with different effects and inconsistent interactions with reactive moves
>>98835487transports and it's not even close
>>98835382That bow is giving me a stroke. Does she use all the strings to fire it? Does she loose them one at a time with multiple arrows? I’m so confused
>>98835493She uses the string that works best for the current target range and equipped arrow.Or she fires three arrows at once using one of the string trios at a time.
>>98835476thanks. Needed something to impale the talon into since I wasn't using its stock base.No never got a Dimachaeron. I didn't like the mini, it wasn't to my taste. It was too spindly and the chest mouth thing was weird but not in the fun tyranid kind of weird.
>>98835366Damn she looks cross eyed. It's ridiculous how hard is it to paint faces. That's why I probably shouldn't criticize because I don't paint mine for that very reason.......
How many 40K wikis are there now?Do they all contain the exact same information?
>>98835369Yes. There's two phases of fight phase. The fight first phase and then the non fight first phase. You have alternating activations. In 10th the guy who started first was the player whose turn it was not on. In 11th that was changed to be the turn of the guy whose turn it is right now.Charge gives you fight first so as long as you charge into a fights first unit you will get the first activation. Only if you charge into two fight first units you get to fight first with one of them. And then your opponent can fight first with the other unit. And off course if the fight first unit survives for all the other fights they start first since you are no longer in the fights first category.
>>98835351>Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98835500I kinda want to paint a small SoB force themed around battle-hymns. The sisters sing while they fight. Ima use only the heads where they look like they're shouting and their order symbol will be some kind of gothic treble cleff. Order of the Crimson Carol or something.
>>98835513Please stop
Necrons, but vibecoded.
>>98835487The transport rules are garbage, but not because of disembark moves. Disembark moves are fine, they're all easy to understand because you use them in different situations. Transport rules SUCK because of Firing Deck and *embark* rules. Firing Deck is just a fucking mess of retarded shit, and units embarking on stuff like reactive moves is dumb.
>>98835565Embarking on reactive moves is based, but only when any flavour of Elves, GSC, or Guard do it. Everyone else shouldn't be able to do it.
>>98835515Order of the Joyously Raised VoicesOrder of the Harmonic ChoirOrder of the Emperor's Glory
>>98835513>>98835570please don't fight spam with more spam
Let Chaos Xenos take this thread!
>>98835601>chaos necronsKek they'd probably be as powerful as krorks
>>98835607we see some in the new necron bookthey're fucking nothing
>>98835428if there are any fights first (due to charges or whatever)>the active player goes with their FF>then keeps going unless there is an enemy FF>until all the FF are doneTHEN>the player entering the normal fights has activation priority >interchange as normalthis means that if there are no FFs you as the active player can enter the normal fights with priority, or if enemy had enough FFs that would send you to normal fights with priority, against something like Emissaries custodes who have global FF on everything, altho if you stayed in combat with them there might not be much to pick up off you if their entire army is in melee and you let them get all FFs off with no interruption.
>>98835513>>98835570
>>98835601>>98835607>>98835622Nothing even hints at Chaos here wtf
>>98835601>this is what Deathwatch really believe
>>98835601>No GSC, DE, or LoVThe three most likely to fall to chaos aren't even included in the circle. (For LoV I mean the men of iron of course)
Gameplay wise which faction is currently the most JUSTed?
>>98835704Assuming you don't count Imperial Agents (because it's always Imperial Agents) the it's probably Imperial Guard.
>>98835704LoV have never recovered from their early 10th index rework in my opinion. like irrespective of actual winrate, the army just lost all of its identity and oomph as well as its extremely flavorful army rule. it lost BEAM. its scoped sniper rifles now hit on 5s. just a truly garbage rework that turned the whole army into near guardsmen level chumps with no defining features other than being slightly efficient for their points.
>>98835641It's just the rattumor spamming variation of his shitpost.
>>98835513>>98835637Sorry, but the filenames give you away.
>>98835704Guard by far
>>98835471the FF change in 11th completely negates the purpose of having FF as a rule
>>98835719GW is throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks because the army doesn't have a rules identity since its disconnected largely from old squats and they missed out on the 3-6e era where you were not promised a codex or index so what you had cemented itself more as your army identity. Like imagine if necrons didn't languish 9 years with barely working rules, TWWB would not cement itself as hard as it did now that every edition they're promised to have it.First they tried le grudges but pretty undwarfy aesthetics, now we got corpo aesthetic and somewhat rules but the jank is clearly going against the grain that one of the popular detachments is 3-currency flip on demand. Wouldn't be shocked if we see something new again and in 12th GW would stick to one after trying 3 different variants
>>98835704Guard, Bangles, DEldar, ImpKnights, and Geneclits
>>98835704Chaos Knights, for being flavorless garbage for 2 editions now.Thousand Sons for constantly getting shat on by GW for no reason.Blood Angels for being the most cucked of all the marines.
>>98835509>Fandom.com 40k wikiMost up to date and extensive wiki, written in-universe. Huge articles that often document to a degree not necessary for a general overview.>LexicanumOlder, more concise. Not as up to date as the fandom site, but does have more information on older editions of the lore.>1d6chanA mix grab bag of legitimately good articles and cringey shitposts. Actually archives fanworks and home brew content, which the other two refuse to do.
>>98835719Every army should have a unique weapon keyword.Votann should have [Beam]Orks should have [Dakka]AdMech should have [Irradiate]Tau should have [Marking]Necrons should have [Flaying]Deldar should have [Poison]Sisters should have [Sanctified]Space Marines should have [Tactical]You can imagine what most of them do
>>98835428They should just bring back Initiative and be done with this Fights First nonsense.
>>98835766Or they could just have not changed the order to be as confusing as possible for no fucking reason.
>>98835704GSC are always JUST
>>98835778GSC feel like a faction designed for the humiliation fetish masochists anyway,>hell yeah, I'm gonna play as those hills have eyes rednecks whose objective is to be eaten by the actual relevant faction
>>98835788Being the underdog makes the win all the sweeter. Nothing is as satisfying as watching the lights in a custodes/space marine players eyes go out when he realizes his ultra uber elite badass are getting punked by inbred retards swinging stop signs and industrial tools.
>>98835704I found a white dwarf in a charity shop yesterday hailing the release of the new Drukhari range. The issue was from 2011 and everything on that spread is still the current model. Just…
painted up another sisters of battle character!
do craftworlds have like gardens and vegitation and stuff?all the old art i've seen of them they look 100 artificial and metallic
>>98835813Bro, what are you doing that your hands look beat up like that? I do renovations and I'm still on the tools and my hands don't look anywhere close to as bad as yours. Also you trimmed your nails gj. Honest opinion you can clean up the eagle a bit more, think about a wash depending on the look you want. It almost looks like it's carved from stone right now, so you could wash it with a subtle off white/gray or even a very light pastel color, or you can lean into grimdark and just do something grimy.
>>98835820They're entire worlds in space. They have gardens and farmland and oceans and forests. There's an old bit of lore (probably retconned bt now) of a craftworld that encountered the Tyranids and now have a small infestation of 'Nids in their Jungle vault, but they don't wipe them out completely because they're good practice for their aspect warriors.
>>98835820Yeah, they're fully contained and healthy biomes. Plenty of the books talk about gardens, forests, lakes, even "seas" and beaches. Craftworlds are supposed to be the size of small moons. You can justify the art by saying they're mostly showing urban environments which are more aliens and artificial looking.
>>98835820Yes
>>98835803lol, don't worry. They'll get theirs soon.
>>98835813Why is she naked.
The joke is their relative life expectancies being very different.
>>98835871>Rogue TraderHe bears the Inquisitorial "I" upon his chest, he's probably an Inquisitor.
>>98835886>Inquisitorial "I"it's actually an H, it stands for sideways
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98835871why are tau so cute?
>>98835902The face that only anon can love.
>>98835915she is a granny, give her some slack.
>>98835871Why did she never backstab him?
>>98835871Shoulda smashed her head with Hammer
>>98835886Inquisitorial ][ should have three lines across it. There's more than one ][ in the Imperium.
>>98835923The same reason he never backstabbed herIn the Grim™ darkness of the 42nd Millennium there is only love <~<
>>98835901You have felt it coming for years now anon..... it's not happening..... besides even if it happens are you ready to pay 1.5 times the current deldar prices?
>>98835393For me it was 12 obliterators+ 3 defilers IW. Or double untouchable Slaanesh demon princes.
>>98835958Unless I'm misremembering, the capital I isn't supposed to be our English I, it's a symbol in Gothic. I don't think any other organization is allowed to use that symbol other than the Inquisition.
Forty gayTonight I finish these fucking seven marines that have been shitting on my desk for 2 months getting slowly batch painted
>>98836021>I don't think any other organization is allowed to use that symbol other than the Inquisition.Adeptus Terra, Imperial Fleet, Imperial Navy, Ecclesiarchy, Sisters of Silence, Departmento Munitorum, Adeptus Arbites, Adeptus Custodes, Adeptus Administratum. Sure there's many more. In Legacy the Emperor's personal seal on a document is described as an ][ with crossed lightning bolts. Probably similar to the Custodes one, just lacking the raptor head.

Good morning gentlemen and gentle ladies, another beautiful day in paradise! Let’s all have a good showing today.
Girls of the board, be honest: would you have sex with Angron?
>>98835764And Tyranerds?
>>98836143but where is my new battleforce?
>>98836170Nooo, I'm faithful to my wolfies.
>>98836174You’re not funny
>>98836171Maybe [Infesting] for flesh borers and such that can cause either save or movement speed reduction on one target hit until the end of their next turn?
>>98836170No, only Sanguinius
>>98835641That's the insidiousness of it, the taint of chaos can be invisible from the outside until it's far far too late
>>98836156Remember the Adeptus Custodes?
>>98835923She successfully spent decades in his company doing water caste business without him ever doing anything about it, and then died of natural causes so he'd never get a chance to. Absolute Por'O shit.
>>98836199Man poor Dante, he a real pimp and deserves better.
>>98836215What's better than an auramite-plated jump pack dreadnought with his special axe and a huge fuckoff plasma gun so he can continue to serve, even in death?
>>98836224Hasn’t he served enuff tho? Mans given everything and is OLD
>>98836227Not even in death does duty end
Looking at the Imperial Guard Commissar I notice it can't lead ogryn units. He also can kill himself as an ability for some reason.
>>98836143I would go to something like this except why the fuck is it in America?
>>98836196It still crack me up they edited the trailer and removed the female custodes models from it.
How's everyone's hellblasters coming along?
>>98836248Can't decide whether the commissar blowing his own shit smoov off would raise my morale or send it through the floor.

>>98836181>>98836191>>98836316Permanent means _________
>>98836311rolling a die before a battle to see if losing your commanders gives the troops more or less morale would be a fun bit of flavour for IG
What is the worst army for somebody who cannot paint?
>>98836332GSChorde army, lots of exposed skin, lots of fiddly little details on guns and stuff, expensive
>>98836332Anything with lots of little trinkets and trims, skin, human faces, clean color schemes, and flat smooth surfaces.So eldar, sisters, genestealers, admech, guard, and for chaos it's thousand sons and emperor children.
>>98836332Pretty much all the armies in 40k except Nids / Tyranids are a nightmare to paint. Go AoS if you want a game that's made for hobbyists.
>>98836337KSons is tedious with all the little stripes and chaos trim, but Death Guard has tons of unique sculpts so you can't even build a workflow for painting them in batches—this Plague Marine and that one have completely different details to worry over, and that's not even getting in to the possibility of running 100+ poxwalkers and having to paint them first.
>>98836170Pre-demon Angron? Maybe.Demon Angron? No.
>>98836335You can cumtrast a lot of it, but even then you have to take care of each part with its own color.Skin, armor, clothing, claws, weapons, bling and exoskeleton.Otherwise you'll need to do a proper paint job.
>>98836353The thing is that with something like nurgle you can be very messy with washes, drybrushing, and neutral tones, without picking all of the smaller details specifically, and you can still end up with something that looks finished because they can just be dirty.
>>98836170No, I like Death Guard
>>98836376Enough to listen to Morty grumbling about his dad, his other dad, and his grandpa the whole time, and then waking up the next morning with every STD imaginable and a bunch that aren't?
>>98836394Yes, I know Konrad is the typical I can fix him guy, but I'd rather let Morty ruin me.
>>98836143>in my home state but I'll be busyFuck.>"choose your own fate" at the end of Voss's description Destinyfag won.
was wonder if I want my fleshmetal deepstrike squad as IW or WBdid i du gud?
>>98836375Every army has tricks and shortcuts that can get them table-top ready in relatively short order, but "embrace the happy little accidents and slap some Typhus Corrosion on it" is qualitatively different from "buy an airbrush" or "use this speed-painting formula that lets you robotically crank out Rubricae at a rate of one or two an hour" relative to the original question of >>98836332>What is the worst army for somebody who cannot paint?since the aesthetic judgement to >be very messy with washes, drybrushing, and neutral tones, without picking all of the smaller details specifically, is a set of painting skills that you have to develop over time.
I feel like the tau caste system is a little limitedyou have la for your most basic rifleman, then ui for all the NCOs, then vre for literally nothing because it's never used, then el and o seem to be interchangeable for all commissioned ranks from a jobber in flak armour to king shit in his custom battlesuit commanding an entire spheresurely there could be a tiny bit more granularity
>>98836445Looks very meaty, I like itI'd do another coating on the skin in some areas because it looks like it spilled over a bit. Do you use/have any guilliman flesh? People here shit on contrasts and speedpaints but for making characters with faces it's almost mandatory for me.
Got my collage fella done.
>>98835328>Whats your favorite legends unit?Gunstodes.I think it's bullshit that they were erased, instead of being updated. They have a niche that's different from other Custodes infantry. I'd much rather had them erase Wardens instead, because now we have two different spear infantry that largely do the same fucking thing. It would be nicer if you had one sword infantry, one spear and one gun infantry. You could quickly tell what the model is by looking at the weapon.
>>98836503>two different spear infantryin the foreseeable future all the plastic kits that came before these HH waves will be discontinued
>>98836445asked AI to slop me the red versionwhich way should I go with?>>98836499yeah I just use the xpress deamonic skin
>>98836481Grunt, NCO, CO, and General are the only ranks that really matter anyway.
>>98835328Anyone got the rest of these tutorials? Theyre great.
>>98836481Vre’s are senior NCOs, the leader of a battle suit team is gonna be a Shas’Vre while the pilots are all Shas’ui’s. Shas’Nel’s or fireblades are more like a company sergeant major, the highest enlisted rank in the cadre. Shas’el’s are lieutenant>captain while shas’o’s are everything above that.
>>98836540You know, I was going to criticize you by saying that is the thinking of shitty conscription-system militaries, but I guess that does fit the whole of 40k extremely well.
why do they say "left tenant" instead of "Lou tenant"?
>>98836599The same reason "colonel" is pronounced "kernel": pure retardation.
>>98836248The Commissar can lead Ogryns/Bullgryns in two ways:>Exemplar of Duty enhancement from the Abhuman Auxiliaries detachmentThis one lets you give it to all 3 of your Commissars, and it gives the Commissar Feel No Pain 4+ in the event of precision weapons on enemies.>Abhuman Detail enhancement from the Grizzled Company detachmentThis one only lets you do it to only 1 Commissar, and doesn't give any other benefits.Steel Hammer/Abhuman Auxiliaries is a decent way to play guard right now, though it is absurdly expensive and extremely skewed.
>>98836604Sounds like a bunch of bologna.
>https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/0jjz7tqg/grand-narrative-2026-introducing-the-lords-of-war/This reads a little like a chatbot, no?
>>98836599england says english weird to make themselves sound more sophisticated. lou-tenant makes more sense because it comes from the words lieu and tenant not left and tenant.
>>98836658The left tenant pronunciation is the older one, based on French, if I remember correctly
>>98836664It's because U and V were historically interchangeable hence memes like SOVL.So it would often be pronounced lev-tenant. The v changed to an f so it became lef-tenant.

>>98836664It's from loanwords often swapping u,v,f and w symbols and pronunciations as well."Lieutenant" is a wholly French word, so when the English court swapped to the English language in the 14th century instead of the weird mixture of different French dialects they used before, a lot of pronunciations got fucked up when translating, one of those being the written u in lieutenant becoming an f.You also have to include the Normand and Aquitainian peculiarities in their dialects that the English court inherited between 1066 and 1300.You can see this u,v,f,w swap in other languages as well, like in the Russian "avto" vs "auto" in the original Greek.

>>98836503I have a feeling they'll be next codex.Purely because I can see them sitting on model designs just to have something to push every codex update.

>>98836688Are his aberrants proxies? Look cool either way. I like your horrors but I think I'd like them a lot more if you just did a wash/contrast on them with some crazy color. Like purple, like green, yellow, something like that? I'm just being a nitpicky asshole though, otherwise looking good!

>>98836741>special snowflakeAnything other than Space Marines. No, seriously, they're like 50-60% of all players.>never play a mirror matchAgents
>>98836741Maybe AdMech, it's been a while since I've seen an army of those, except for my own.
>>98836741GSCYou will be the most special boy in your LGS.
>>98836730Yeah his army is ocean-deep themed so it's pretty much all kitbash/proxy. The blue horrors are "done" but I got distracted with my metal LoC and didn't finish the pink ones, what you're seeing is just white primer and a coat (two?) of jokaero orange, my endgoal is to wash them in crimson/magenta and as much gloss varnish as the blue ones.

>>98836822>Metal minis just hit differentI'm unironically worried I'll never want to bring it to a game because of how heavy it is
Any 40kg'ers going to worlds?
Stupid question but could you make your own metal minis using plastic recast molds?
>>98836809Why are people pretending this models looks good? It’s looks like something out of Cow and Chicken, hella ugly regardless of modeler skills.
>>98836827>I'm unironically worried I'll never want to bring it to a game because of how heavy it isMeanwhile I used to run 6 PE, along with a spam of sisters.
>>98836852Don't know about plastic recast molds specifically, but yes, you can absolutely investment cast your own metal miniatures using molds made from appropriate materials that will withstand having molten lead poured into them.
>>98836852Yes you could recast out of metal, casting pewter isn't hard, the hardest part is making the cast itself as an amateur who doesn't know how to lay out a metal cast.Be mindful of melting temperatures and heat retention, if your recast moulds aren't able to handle the temperatures needed for pewter/lead/tin, it obviously won't work.You might want to scrounge around the internet for advice on metal casting in general, it's a very niche hobby but it does exist. I own a lead chess set that was made by my Boy Scout scoutmaster on old school 2-part steel casts, those people still exist and will have the info you want/need.
>>98836248Will attached guard still kill their commissar if they fail a morale check?
>>98836870Pewter is a lot easier to work with and only gives you stannosis instead of making you retarded.
>>98836852Technically yes, but not really. Plastic behave differently than metal when casting, so molds need to be different. You'd need tome engineering knowledge how to do that. But sure, if you have time, money and enough determination, then yes.
>>98836688Are those diving suits kitbashed? They look cool
Idea: Armory world that doesn't produce many munitions but acts as a planet-sized storage facility for various fronts. The admech & munitorum personnel pride themselves in being only 10 years late to respond & deliver goods, mostly due to the fact that they've thrown out many of the requests made based on arbitrary criteria and random chance. The fabricator general is in good with the inquisition and often gets commissioned for custom made arms & armor from rogue traders, who see his gear as a status symbol that doubles as a reliable weapon. Of course, things aren't all cushy as a cult has existed in the underhive since M39, only kept at bay by the fact that the cult has divided into subcults that can't decide on a single god to swear fealty to. Undivided cultists are seen as fence sitting pussies. The world may not be a paradise, but for the most part the segments that aren't dedicated to storing enough bombs, bullets, and 'blades to Cadia the planet are pleasant enough, with cool weather and many untainted waters.

Has any of your dudes earned a name or a title from gameplay?
>>98836852Not using moulds meant for plastic no. GW used metal moulds to make resin casts, but it won't work the other way around.Apparently it's actually not that hard to make moulds for pewter, it's usually just a higher grade of silicone. Vulcanized rubber is used for a different method. >>98836878Scout master sounds cool, as long as he didn't grape you of course!

I have decided that "hrud" is an umbrella term for 3 related races: the skavengers, the bendies, and the stryxis who represent something in-between the two.Thanks for reading my blog.

>>98837208No they are JUST
>>98837208I love them but I can't in good conscience recommend it to anyone currently. The current rules we have are shit and they need to be reworked, merely changing the points will not fix the faction. We don't know when the codex will arrive so you may be stuck with not so great ruless for a while.It's also expensive as fuck, I was able to score some good deals via the used market and kitbashing characters.You'll be painting a lot of models, and they're full of small details so painting will take some time.

How do I get a 40k gf?
>>98837882You know this wench is against giving head
>>98837882You compete with the other 50 dudes at your lgs
I finally have a job that pays well enough for me to start my own army, be honest with me anons how is the state of 40k for total newcomers right now? My LGS is somewhat dooming and glooming about it but the same number of people still play every week.
>>98837894I would pound that girl through the mattress, a proper hate fuck, because she reminds me so much if an ex and that would complain about giving a blow job while expecting you to make her cum 3 times eating her pussy.
>>98837913It's fine, I just started the hobby myself maybe 3 months ago. Is it expensive to get in? If you look at it all at once, yes. But when you're starting out it's going to take you a long time to paint your first few units, especially if you experiment with and refine your techniques. Don't worry about the rules. By the time you finish your first 1000pts they will likely be different. Just get what you think looks cool. Models are forever, rules are temporary. Buying used also helps the cost somewhat, though it depends on your local LGS and market. You can also go get recasts from Ivan or Mr. Xi.
>>98837913People bitch and moan about how shit 40k is every time the rules change, which amounts to "continuously" since they get adjusted every few months, but none of them switch to model-agnostic alternative rules like OPR. Curious.Anyway, even if things are rough now, by the time you get your guys assembled and painted most of the glaring issues will have been patched and there'll be new glaring issues for people to whine about.
>>98837882Typically you can junction your GF at a save point
>>98837882This woman has HR eyesLike she can't wait to make a rule against washing your meal prep containers in the break room
>>98837930>but none of them switch to model-agnostic alternative rules like OPRFor all the complaints about nu-40k having no flavour, OPR has even less.
>>98837913It depends on the army, here's what my list costs at MSRP. But again I've collected stuff over the course of two years, and got many stuff from the used market and kitbashed some. I probably spent about $600 or so.As always never buy directly from GW, most retailers have a 20% off from the MSRP.There's the cost of hobby supplies though, you'll be spending about $200 on paints, brushes, primers and so on more or less.
>>98837937Only so much you can fit on one page, I guess.I've always seen the game primarily as something to do with your minis after you're done painting them and an excuse to hang out with fellow hobbyists in a structured environment and show off your work, so the rules have to be pretty bad for that to no longer be viable.
First Blasters status: ready for basing.It has been a long and arduous process, but we are almost there.
>>98837938>my guard lists are cheaper than a GSC list at GW pricesGrim
>>98837938>notoriously expensive armies like GSC are still about the same price as a Glock, an optic, and a case of FMJ practice ammoI'm starting to think that Warhammer isn't actually expensive, people are just broke as hell
should they bring back necron pariahs?
>>98838002It’s about who’s interested in Warhammer generally. Warhammer (especially in Europe) attracts kids and adults alike. Affordability is felt more there due to the wider range of consumers. Here in America, Warhammer is much more an adult’s hobby, and while price increases suck, the breakpoints are much higher before it becomes a dealbreaker.
>>98838002That price is just the models, not any paint, brushes, basing, cement or any other supplies you'd need.To continue the gun parallel, it's like if that Glock cost $1200 before you even get ammo, and you still have to take it to a guy to have the slide milled for the optics cut (and pay him) and then buy your optic on top of that.
>>98838002Compared to other adult hobbies. Warhammer is cheap. Have to understand that a lot of people into tabletop gaming are jobless.
>>98838012Makes sense.>>98838021So in the neighborhood of a decent "duty grade" AR15, then.>>98838029I've heard how long 2000 point games take, and I can't imagine scheduling that around a full-time job and buying groceries, mowing the lawn, etc. so that tracks
>>988380392k point games take a maximum 2 hours. Unless you are getting slow played. Then you are more than welcome to call that cunt a faggot.
>>98838039My 2k games take about 5+ hours, sometimes more. It's more of a social thing rather than just playing the game, checking the rules, looking each others models, chatting with the onlookers. Takes an hour to get to my LGS from my home, and since you'll spend the entire day out we also go for lunch. Basically an event that takes my entire day.
>>98837759i fucking love khorne
>>98837913It sucks so bad right now GW is down 25% on their stock price, they wiped out half a billion dollars over the last 6 months
>>98838039it gets faster the more accustomed you are. Just pre-agree what lists with despositions you're both playing so when either gets to lgs you can start setting up already and not figure out which shitty terrain setup to use. Then the most part is measuring shit and checking visibility if you both know your own rules and combos at least
>>98837930>but none of them switch to model-agnostic alternative rules like OPRProbably because that dogshit is even worse than 40k.
>>98838039>decent "duty grade" AR15, thenI'd put it a few hundred over that if that's still like $1500 like it was before I stopped caring about ARfaggotry, but yea close enough to get the message across>how long 2000 point games takeThe longest I've done was 5.5 hours, and that was both of us playing horde armies.>>98838040>2 hoursPlease tell me how I can make a game take 2 hours with all these infantry on my table and having to roll 30some odd dice every time they get shot at because of weapons having so many attacks now and things giving extra dice like blast, sustained hits and rapid fire
>>98837913Ebay is your friend. Especially if you're willing to buy preassembled/primed stuff and strip/break it down. For one of the more frequently-played armies or one with a recent big box you could probably get sub-$200 if you're willing to wait and put a lot of work in.
>>98837973Nice work, love beakies
I have a pistol and an ar, and I also have 5 40k armies. I would say the 40k stuff is by far the better hobby. I spend much more time thinking up lists and looking at fan art and playing the videogames and painting and I even get a few matches in the average month. Meanwhile with firearms I just practice competency a few times a year and I don't think about it much besides that and for the most part it sits in a safe. I post on 40k forums constantly but I have never once posted on a firearm forum. I have a well painted army that people comment on and I get to talk painting all the time, but no one has ever come up to me to say "cool gun". I proudly display my armies in glass travel cases, while my firearms are in a safe and the pistol is under the bedside table. So if I was deciding between the two, I would definitely go for 40k.
>>98838080You have an AR and—I reasonably assume—a double-stack striker-fired 9mm with a grip made out of black plastic. No shit nobody's bothered you at the range about them; buy an AUG or something if you want attention, or go shoot competitively where people can see your setup and how well you run it.
>>98838052That's the whole stock market except for the ai companies.
>>98838080>no one has ever come up to me to say "cool gun"They would if you owned guns that aren't bog-standard, and more importantly if you went to places where other people talk about guns instead of just shooting. The range is not a place to make friends.Go to competitions, have "for fun" guns. While I also have my "basics" covered, I'm a milsurp guy at the end of the day; I've run 2-gun competitions with an AR and a G19, I've also done them with a Mauser and a P38. People will talk to you if you stand out.Don't pick hobbies based on how much people talk to you about them, pick hobbies based on how much (you) enjoy what you're doing.And before anyone says it, yes I play guard, I'm not beating the allegations.
>>98838068I also love beakies, though I do with they had the raised rim around the pauldron. Marines look much better with it.
>>98838040You play Knigs or Custards or Termie spam or tank spam. Basically you've just outed yourself as a fag
>>98838134"maybe him and his play group all play the same lists week after week and have 3-ring binders to walk themselves through each turn with maximum efficiency and never take breaks to have a drink or look at each other's cool new models or other human interaction stuff"
>>98838080Why do you fags always claim your army is well painted but never post it?
>>98836708On a very tangentially related note I'm pretty sure I discovered why GW decided to call the Primaris standard bearers "Ancients": turns out the British Army used to use 'ensign' as the lowest rank of commissioned officer, and they were typically given the duty of carrying the regimental colours into battle. Sometime vaguely around the 16th century 'ensign' got corrupted into 'ancient', and so you have 'ancient' referring to the lowest rank of officer who carries a flag into battle - AKA the exact description of the Primaris Ancient.
>>98838166You ever seen those videos of Elephants painting? That’s basically him and his army.
>>98838179that's cool
>>98838166Because its not, obviosly. Ive been here for a couple years and saw very few people that can actually paint
>>98838179I thought it was well-known in the 40k community that "ancient" was a historical military position characterized by carrying a flag into battle, but the etymological elaboration is interesting.
>>98838191Can you paint?
>>98838040If you're going through it as fast as possible with minimal socialization, sure, but for most people that's just not how the game is played.

>>98837547An ultrasmurf that's also a vidya game protag? It was over for Vashtorr.
>>98838300No mostly because I shoot on my own property, I pick up my own casings anywayI can't imagine using anything bigger than a .22lr for basing, maybe a 9mm Makarov casing at most. I might do that now for my next field ordnance battery, use some .22lr casings for spent artillery shells.
Now that war organ is dead, what's the best app/program for list building?When I say best, I mean one that isn't full of adds and doesn't lock basic features behind a paywall like n*wrecruit

>>98838325I've got a pair of the metal artillery crewmen and .22 is skinnier and slightly longer than their basilisk shell, but not by too much at a distance.
Votann suck. It was a mistake ever introducing them because now it's impossible to squat them without a thousand people bitching about it, even when they don't collect Votann. And because they'll never be removed, but never be cool, gw will just awkwardly mention them when necessary and occasionally release a new model for them, and no one will really care. They'll just be this repulsive tumor rotting away and will have a light shine on them to remind everyone of this disgusting mistake that can never be cleansed because sunk cost and secondary squealers.
>>98838339Boo hoo nigga.
>>98838339I like this model.
>>98838337>skinnierThis is an issue, and I can't imagine something else being the right size while still keeping the overall look of "traditional rimmed cartridge.">slightly longerThis is not an issue, you can just cut it to length.I'd have to hold one next to the other artillery pieces to compare, but as-is I'll probably do something with it.
>>98838339Ask Harlequins and Ynnari players how hard it is for GW to squat you. Technically, the Demiurg are already a T'au auxiliary, so it can happen to them, too.
>>98838351If trimming to length isn't an issue, then surely .22 WMR is the answer.
>>98838339I think Votann are funny because they're short. And the Votann are part of that new Black Templar book with Helbrecht, don't know if the book is any good though since I'm not a Templarfag.
>>98838359>YnnariYou can't squat what never existed. Did ynnari even have any faction specific models besides Yvrainne and Yncarne?
>vashtorr dies to a smurflmao, be'lakor 1, vashtorr 0
>>98838350You like the model, and sure, it's a nice model, but do you like the army? Is that model enough to justify building a votann army?
>>98838369In one of the Space Sharks books a would-be Vashtorr demon prince dies to a lictorThe Vashtorr situation is crazy
>>98838361I mean, sure, but I'm not sure that 0.016 inches is going to visually make a difference (.226 vs .242).

>>98838394At least post other troops, which actually looks like SC units (Agressors for example).
It's been so long since I've seen classical, unironic edge that I actually laughed out loud
eldar are oddly an expensive army for what the faction is supposed to be their points to cost ratio should be similar to thousand sonsmaking them semi-cheaper army would defiantly clear those unsold elves on the shelf
>>98838429>Need a light?>Fire it up!>Let's burn!
>>98838431You don't like paying $120 for a Warlock Conclave?Most factions need some amount of help, and Eldar prices being normalized a bit would go a long way. The Warlock box is just the most egregious example I could think of.
>they timed it to the last 2 seconds and outbidded me againIt has to be a bot.
>>98838446>>98838431>custodian combat patrol is 900 points of models for 177 dollars, or 146 on ebay>GW wonders why 350 point CPs sell worserI literally do not see how it harms their bottom line to just throw armies like dark eldar a bone, put an extra 10 wracks in that box, or produce some plastic grosteques as a one-off thing.
>>98838431Wraiths are pretty expensive points-wise aren’t they? When I figured to start an Eldar army once upon a time they were really the only unit that stood out to me. If they released more variants I just might have to start one.
>>98838430It's not "shas'o coldsteel" but if you like T'au getting completely mindbroken by the grim dark future then "Fire Caste" by Peter Fehervari will be right up your alley
>>98838421>using an adblockerTons of retards and normalfags still did not figure out what we figured out when we were teens.
How is your collage submission coming along?I was going to submit a dred but I think I might just submit this guy instead.(He does have a plasma pistol)
>>98838462Submit this guy he’s total kino brother
>>98838462Only the sarcophagus itself left, but I'm swamped at work and can't get proper painting time at all.
>>98838394>>98838445>GW tries to fish some SC-fans with Votann and some Primaris models>11th edition instead kills all interest in Votann, Eldar and Nids with SC providing healthier alternative
>>98838454If Dark Eldar are supposed to be a horde army now the least they could do is give them 20-man bricks of Wracks again instead of locking them to 10. They literally just doubled the number that come in a box from 5 to 10 as well.
>>98838369>Calling Malum Caedo *a* smurfHe is not just a smurf, he is THE Ultra Smurf, he is Matt Ward's strongest champion.You cannot fathom the true power of Madlad Caedo, and neither can Vashtorr, more like trashtorr
>>98838473GW has been constantly gay and retarded for their entire existence>don't support models>wonder why they don't sell>give some armies giga bundle boxes 50% of the army for 200 bucks>other armies are like 1500 bucks to actually collect and have shit rules
>>98838470Fuck me that's clean. Well done.
>>98838471eldar have little to do with protoss except psychic powers and sucking at warfare, and that mostly applies to craftworlders since they suck, corsairs and exodites win some, harlequins always win, dark eldar only lose when the kabal was sent to die on purpose because they displeased vect.
>>98838456compare it to 1ksons where a single squad of 5 terminators is 200pts
>>98838477It's not a coincidence that all the least popular armies are the most expensive ones. But some army archetypes are always going to be more expensive to produce and purchase than others with larger model counts.
>>98838454Custodes are the welfare army in every way, GW intentionally makes them this way to get people into the brand.They don't care about "equal attention" between armies, and they are deathly allergic to trying to play into the value proposition comparison. It's just "how do we get more sales" with as little thought and as much short-term planning as possible.The current guard combat patrol is 285 points. 120 of that (42.1%) is horse cavalry.If GW wanted this combat patrol to be a GOOD purchase, they could increase its point cost by 40 and just swap the 10 Attilans for a Leman Russ. But they won't, because it's just moving inventory that didn't sell. Most combat patrols are like this.
>>98838486>protoss>sucking at warfareHardly, they aren't jobbing in their own campaign, unlike Eldar in their codex.>corsairs and exodites win some,Yeah Yrel against Huron?But you]ve misssed the point>11th edition
>>98838490Orks, Nids, and Necrons are pretty popular but also had the benefit of being in combos boxesthey think all these other armies have the potential to be as popular as Guard where they're a horde, very popular, and never even needed a boast from a combo box but end up giving up on them when that obviously isn't possible
>>98838496>It's just "how do we get more sales"Well GW is commercial enterprise after all.
>>98838431>>98838446>>98838454Cost for one of my Eldar 2k lists I was thinking about is like $1300cad (roughly 1kusd) and I already have 300 points of it. Almost $70 for a box of aspects. Vehicles are out of stock or being scalped for $100+. There's things for pretty much $1cad per point.
>>98838470Posts like your make me feel like a shit painter, but also inspires me to get better. Really cool anon.
How would you model an Ordos Xenos aligned imperial guard force specifically tailored to fighting tyranids?I am feeling inspired after reading the Anphelion Project imperial armour book by forgeworldI'm thinking maybe sealed hazmat style armour to better protect them from toxins/organics/their own chemical weapons and a focus on flamer/chemical weaps. Imagine a black, armoured hellhound spewing green fire into a horde of nids
>>98838523>How would you model an Ordos Xenos aligned imperial guard force specifically tailored to fighting tyranids?Votann but taller
>>98838511Are you just playing dumb or do you genuinely not get itThe point of me saying it in the exact way that I did, with the exact words that I did, was to say that if given the choice between>100 dollars every day>300 dollars every other dayGW would pick the 100 dollars every day despite the basic math suggesting you'd make less money this way, suggesting that they as a company have an incredibly high time preference and are short-sighted. That's what the words "short-term planning" refers to.
>>98838521Thanks, but for what it's worth, nothing in that pic is particularly advanced. Just staying within the lines and edge highlighting, skills that are very easy to get good at.
>>98838496>the army with amenic lore and characters, and zero presence in any games or campaigns is supposed to the one thats an entry pointcrazy, but i guess its even crazier they make eldar this expensive >>98838518 while still shitting on them in the lore whenever they can
I will not elaborate further (Pretend Marines/Orks/Custodes are their 11th Edition boxes)
You know what 40k needs? It needs to be cool. Fuck all this "boo hoo i'm a sad bitch" lore storytelling with complex characters, i want pure nonstop action with major shitshows like an Ork Waagh, a major Hive Fleet (Behemoth comes back cause red nids are coolest nids) + the biggest GSC outbreak, damn near every imperial guard regiment at the same time, at least 1 million space marines, damn near every class of space ship out in the planet's orbit, craftworld biel-tan, every bit of chaos, the votann and their not!unicron planet eater, the mechanicus (including that one Man of Iron that pretends to be a servitor, who then goes ballistic and its cool), 3 custodes who are still fighting without their armor (they got blown up but tanked it) and a whole coven of sororitas, all fighting whatever they see on sight and doing cool oneliners all while the planet is cracking in half and the only reason anybody is there is damn near meaningless other than funneling every single battle into a single planet (The rest of the galaxy somehow becomes peaceful relatively speaking) and everybody dies at the end but the last scene is the last one fighter of each army using their last bit of power to raise a banner.
>>98838535Don't sell yourself short, at least for some of us painting that straight and clean like that is a long road, sometimes with physical hurdles.
>>98838544Shit list, I will not elaborate further.
>>98838531>That's what the words "short-term planning" refers to.That's not short-term planning if you maintain monopoly, this is why MS easily got away with any bullshit, Millenium, Vista, Internet Explorer, X-box One etc and etc.GW's priority is stable flow of income, not some 6d chess, to get slightly more money (they can do it with annual price hike)
>>98838486>sucking at warfaretaldarim were so fucking badass they had two separate civil wars and still came made out like bandits.
What the dog doing
>>98838462I mean its pretty well finished but im not overly happy with it. I wanted to get an old one eye head for the platform as this is supposed to be the behemoid undercult but couldn't find one so just went with le spooky skulls
>>98838462Wheres the plasma pistol?
>>98838559Kek, I love that video
>>98838496The point of them is to technically provide a "discount" but to not actually make the value good enough that anybody would buy multiple or buy them to split up and resell. The old IG start collecting for example was good value but it also meant there was basically no reason to ever buy an individual infantry squad or leman russ kit
>>98838579All numbers are at GW prices>guard combat patrol is $177>Kasrkin and Cadian Command Squad on their own is $116.50>Attilans are $67.50 per 5The ONLY reason to buy the guard combat patrol is if you want to run a 10-man unit of Attilans, who are extremely far from the meta and I have never seen on a table, even my own.As it stands, there is no reason to buy the guard combat patrol, so we're instead at the other extreme.
>>98838523The hazmat suits are a good idea, but chemical weapons are particularly bad against nids in lore, in very old editions they were even immune to poison and most types of gas. Flamers are actually not great against them either because it takes a little while to fully burn one to death and if in synapse range they just keep fighting until they die, so unlike other armies like orks or humans which run around in panic and agony while on fire, Tyranids just continue ripping you apart while also burning you now.What you actually want are weapons with good logistics (mutli-lasers, lascarbines, stuff that has high ammunition efficiency/rechargable batteries) for the swarms, and high stopping power and armour penetration for the bigger bugs. Remember actually beating Tyranids entails killing the synapse creatures, which are often huge monsters as big and tough as Custodes or Dreadnoughts, so you need elite-killer gear, with just enough anti-swarm to keep the little ones at bay until you manage to kill the brainbugs.
Any hope for an Eldar Corsairs themed army box? I want to paint some xenos that aren't NPCs

How much corpse is corpse starch? Is it legit bodies ground up into pink mcnugget paste or do they perform some process that separates out the nutrients from the people parts?
>>98838639It's the former. Necromunda has an entire faction of workers who collect and process corpses for the starch.
>>98838047>Angron, and his brother, Angriaron
>>98838639It's the Imperium, which is notoriously so shit that people will submit to the Greater Good for two hots and a cot, so I assume that it's mostly starch with the minimum amount of "corpse" possible to meet the labor/war units' protein needs.I.e., they're not engaging in straight cannibalism because human Spam would be too luxurious for Guardsmen and factorium workers
>>98838639It actually varies, which is the answer to most of these sort of questions. Different planets have different types of corpse starch. We have some examples where it's literally bodies, but we have other examples where the human corpses are mostly used as fertilizer for what ends up being a mostly mushroom/fungus based canned food.
>>98838639Considering the whole "prion disease" thing and the fact it's called *starch*, chemical reorganization to the base nutrients as a powder is the only "realistic" response, and thus would be wholly unrecognizable as being made of people.But it's also made up and doesn't have to be realistic, so it's asspull of whatever the current story wants it to be. It's one of the more grimderp things anyway, frankly, and I find it detracts from the setting via believability. There are more efficient ways to get food in places, but those aren't grim and dark enough, so we have to eat corpses instead. No amount of "the Imperium is despotic and evil" can make up for objective reality on space-efficient protein sources like legumes (ie peanuts) that can be processed and transported en masse far easier than corpses.
>>98838600What makes corsairs unique compared to craftworlders or deldar?
I suppose I’m as good as any so let’s get ourselves a model post going in this thread.
I could use some corpse starch right now
>>98838671
>>98838671Jeez Louise this is impressive
>>98838676nigga we got real food, it's right over there
>>98838669>legumes (ie peanuts) that can be processed and transported en masse far easier than corpsesNigga agri worlds aren’t enough to feed hive worlds. It’s why those niggas eat corpse starch in the first place. You sound like an idea guy from the upper hives
>>98838683Ty man
>>98838669Introducing entire worlds to a gift of Nurgle called "kuru" because you couldn't be bothered to provide them with anything resembling actual food would be one of the most Imperium-coded things imaginable, so...
>>98838671Freehanding space wolf players only. Sorry buddy.
>>98838639Depends on the planet, or more likely hive, in question.Not every imperial society has its people living in giga-oppression misery, you see some people living basically normal middle class lives in the Eisenhorn series, for example. But in hives and manufactorum worlds they would absolutely grind people into paste and work 18 hours shifts.
