>>97367538>>97367659>>97367681It's a piece of bark with a little bit of AK mud texture paste on top. >>97367744The city service uses pieces of bark around planted trees next to my commieblock, so I just took it from there.
>>97368214>>97368222Thanks Anons. I tried to go for a 90s aesthetic updated to current day.>>97368223Fast is the key when youre painting boyz.
Progress! I'm a little stuck now on what to do with Legolas' boots/bracers though. Also not sure if I want to keep the stripe around Gimli's lower half dark grey, or if I want to push it black like his belt.>>97366070Just a trick of the light/angle mostly
>>97364551I hope you know I save every one of your images.I'm not trying to 1:1 your conversions but more seeing some biker leather Eldar with modern design elements really gets the juices flowing. Going to do another leather only torso and then move on to gubbins, heads, and posing.
I've found from the grapevine that Jes Goodwin is soon to retire from Games WorkshopHe really is the king. His concept sketches and absolutely timeless work on mk7 Space Marines and the Eldar particularly are worthy of the highest praise.His influence will be sorely missed, though with how miniatures are often 3+ years in the pipeline before being seen on shelves, his legacy will continue.
>>97367399TC's got some big names orbiting it, and is the personal project of a couple big names themselves. A good number of them either being involved at GW, or interested in the vibes. Even if he's not into the weird WW1 vibe so much, I can kinda see him falling into the orbit a little, just because a bunch of the other old heads kinda did.I mean, Jes did a lot of Eldar stuff, but his design and art was pretty instrumental to a lot of 40k overall.Still, wherever he goes, even if it's just off into the vagaries of the Webway, all one can hope is he enjoys himself.
>>97362125Shut the fuck up faggot
>>97361569he's made some amazing art, writing and models but he's also made some absolutely dog shit stuff as well. remember that everything bad in the first 5 years is primarislop is 100% certified goodwin.I think he is a great artist and nerd and cool person, but GW will survive and even thrive without him, and I think some of the worst shit in the last 10 years came from him.
>>97365649why would someone leave a high tier, grandfathered position in the most successful company in the entire industry to retire at a startup that lost half its userbase goodwill and is already declining in popularity? I swear, you guys need to get off the Internet for a while and interact with real life
>>97368218>>97368484Face the truth, kids.
What's your theory for why all the talent is leaving Leder Games?What’s your worst/best board game break up story?
>>97368554Too many to list
>triple kill!!three more games are leaving my collection, pyramido forgotten treasures, duel for cardia and project Lwill i regret selling?
>>97368662>i want to not buy games for a year, should I make the most of the games I already own?>NO! SELL SELL SELL SO I HAVE LESS TO SATISFY MY NEEDSidk man the whole challenge of yours is silly to me from the start but the way you go about it is not doing you any favorsalso Project L is not bad, why did you sell it?
I would like to officially apologize to Terraforming Mars. It is not a bad game, I was just retarded and misunderstood the rules until now. I will not talk ill of it from now on.On another note, do any anons here play Mage Knight? I stumbled upon it recently and it looks like something my group might enjoy, but I would like to hear an opinion of someone who actually played it.
Do you include seasonal changes in your campaigns when time goes by?If so, what do you implement int the world to showcase the changing seasons?I personally include sea raiders who begin assaults on the kingdom's shores in spring and through summer, who then return to their homeland in fall to winter it out. So essentially a raiding season for my world's vikings, like in real history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWc0DvoY6qw
>>97276413Even fucking Mars has seasons
>>97335774I used to roll up planets with GURPS Space for fun, and even the marginally habitable ones were absolute hellworlds.I can't find my notes right now, but one was basically only liveable at the equator and it was so hot (water planet with primitive algae producing oxygen) and the axial tilt so massive that any change of seasons would probably bring insane storms. I figured the inhabitants would probably live in above ground bunkers you could raise with hydraulics in case of flooding
>>97361165Please try to understand, poor Wilbur knows very little about anything. It's why he seethes so.
In my current campaign the rainy autumn weather is actually an important "plot point", since it allows vampires to move relatively freely at day. My players have not yet noticed this.
>>97368344Probably because rainy weather should do the opposite. Potential for flowing water, which vampires can't cross.
He is basically the antichrist.
>>97363594>>97360774Now now, christians are entirely willing to admit to NUMEROUS gods in their pantheon.As long as you call them something else, because they pride themselves on monotheism despite being obvious polytheists.
>>97357423This guy gets it.
>>97349107Yes. Revelation 13 eerily fits 40k.>The dragon stood on the shore of the sea.The Chaos Gods inhabiting the Eye of Terror (the sea = space).>And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.The Emperor conquering the galaxy during the Great Crusade.>It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.Hierarchy of Imperial organizations, lords, honorifics etc.>The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.The Emperor's violent nature (speed, brute force, roaring conquest), shifting appearance and unification of global cultures.Comment too long.

>>97368685>And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. The Imperium conquering the galaxy.>All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.The Imperial Cult is officially enforced, to deviate from it is heresy.>Whoever has ears, let them hear.“If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go.If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.Describes the Imperial ethos founded on violence and domination (summary executions, servitorizations, etc).>Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth.The High Lords of Terra rising to power, with emphasis on the Ecclesiarchy.Comment too long.

>>97368695and finally>It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.The Bible says that King Solomon, who has many parallels to the Emperor, received 666 talents of gold each year. So this corresponds to the Imperium requiring the Imperial Tithe and absolute loyalty, or you're excommunicated.I love this interpretation because it makes the setting ten times more grimdark. The Imperium's age of grim darkness was foreseen by some ancient prophet from Old Earth.Revelation chapter 13 should be the unofficial introduction to 40k.
About a decade ago we got a rumour that the Primarchs would come back (before it actually started happening).Part of that rumour was that one loyalist would turn traitor and one traitor would become a loyalist.So who's it gonna be?Picture potentially related, Angron for ants.
>>97366030>for antshttps://kheljay.artstation.com/projects/BmDNxk
>>97366030If the Emperor couldn't fix Angron's brain damage during the Heresy when it was "just" the Nails fucking it all up, how's he going to fix Angron now that it's Nails, 10,000 years of further erosion, and Khorne wearing the boy like a Warp-stuffed sock puppet this whole time?
>>97366030russ going chaos would actually be cool and interesting but that's too much change for snorehammer. in reality it would be some random irrelevant primarch nobody gives a fuck about and them turning traitor would make zero difference to the setting outside of its contained novel
>>97368604destroy the physical body and remake him from scratch. primarch souls are already all minor warp deities, emperor could just send them back to the warp and remake them like they were made the first time
>>97366030>about a decade agoAbout a decade ago was 2016 which meant that Gathering Storm had already gone to press and the Triumvirate of the Primarch was already sitting in warehouse ready for distribution. Predicting that the Primarchs were coming back was no prediction at all, as people had already seen Guilliman and the renders of Mortarion leaked right after. We knew about the whole Primaris relaunch a year in advance because someone posted a picture of the Dark Imperium Intercessor Sergeant on his workbench as soon as he got the box.The Primarch faction swap has always been one of those wild rumors that bad actors like Rob Baer throw in with more verifiable content because it drives clicks to their websites and monetized social channels. People see the headline and say, "wow! Really?" and give them free views. It's not going to happen, it was never going to happen and anyone that says it's going to happen is either misinformed or intentionally misinforming you and here's why:Space Marine players collect Space Marine models and Chaos Space Marine players collect Chaos Space Marine models. These ranges have established identities and fill established niches within the broader product lineup of Warhammer 40,000, and Games Workshop - famously risk-averse Games Workshop - is not going to upset the apple cart by completely invalidating an entire range of models (much less two) by saying, "these evil marauders are good guys now," or, "these paragons of virtue have fallen to vice!" They couldn't even bring themselves to invalidate old Space Marines with new Space Marines.This is the same company that couldn't even commit to exonerating Cypher. These same allegiance swap rumors dogged Lion El'Jonson for years until he was finally released and, oh, shocker, it turns out he was always the goodest of good guys and never even had a hint of disloyalty. They're not going to bring back Leman Russ as a Chaos wolfman or Sanguinius as a Daemon Prince of Khorne.
Which 40K character's death has affected you the most?

>>97368577Yeah I recognized it from the stormfiends, but didn't know it was more widely used before the refresh. Is it like a specific clan's colour or something? I know next to nothing about skaven fluff.
>>97368630And yet flopposter perseveres.
>>97368639i don't think any specific clan has that color scheme, which might be intentionalclan mors (and now verminus) has red as a major colorthe blue on the other hand doesn't really have any clan affiliation although the most notable example would be ikit claw of clan skryre, but their colors tend to be more green and tan
>>97368639>specific clan's colour or somethingskaven never quite stuck to specific colour schemes for specific clans, there was an attempt with the uniforms&heraldry book, but at the end of the day people never followed that, the clans just become evident from your selection of units and that's it

>>97367825Yep. Those minis were painted almost a decade ago (except minotaur which is only 4). Here's one from 2005. I've said it a lot, I can't paint. >>97367896Actually, for Bloodbowl I very specifically wanted high gloss. It's goddamned football! Everything needs to be garish as FUCK.
>>97368049Very nice anon, keep up the good work, yes yes?
>>97365729Is it already out? Weren't the books supposed to have the same blue trim the wargame books have?
This is going to be a long shot, but do any anons here happen to have both Warlord's plastic miniatures as well as some of Wargames Foundry's metals lying around?A little while ago Wargames decided to set up a new website for the miniature ranges they usually only offer during events, which includes a fair few of those oldhammer-style miniatures sculpted by either the Perry Brothers or one of their co-sculptors from the time. I think it's too expensive to replace my infantry blobs with their miniatures for now, but I think it might be fun to maybe buy a few of their halberdiers and greatswords to add some variety to my units, especially some dynamism to my veteran state troops. Thing is, I don't really have any of Wargames' 'normal' rank-and-file miniatures to compare them with my plastics from Warlord's to see whether they would fit somewhat, as the ones I own are cannon crew and some miscellaneous knights (and a wizard).>>97367685They look great anon! I wish I could get my hands on 5th edition miniatures, but it's so rare to find them nowadays apparently. I saw a relatively affordable group of handgunners on a second hand website a while ago, but they would need a lot of cleanup.
>>97368487Haven't tried any proxies since I already have enough state troops.I've looked at the Sunland range, but I got to say, not a fan. I think their proportions are a bit too elongated for my tastes.I also looked at reptilian overlord and I think they have the prefect mix of the new and old sculpts.
Based uhh... *checks notes*Based Games Workshop?!
>>97363253Funny, I get the impression that only failed commission artists and virtue signaling redditors cry about AI. Real artists don't give a fuck because AI art has only increased the demand for real art from real people

I want to make a character who specializes in gathering information. Basically I want to know everything and everybody, or to be able to quickly learn about something or somebody when that isn't the case.I'm not sure how to go about it. Obviously with a design goal as broad as that, this is not the kind of character that I expect to be fully realized straight out of chargen. Face skills seem like a nobrainer starting off, but what would be the best thing to focus on after that?Also Shadowrun thread. The character is for 5e using basic priority chargen.
>>97363879I'm gearing up for a 2e game. I fucking love the setting. Even with the magic and elves and shit, it still scratches the cyberpunk itch better than cyberpunk itself does, imo. And those Roc paperback novels are an intrinsic part of the 90s for me. It's goofy and not even close to realistic, but at the same time it feels like a lived in world, to me.
>>97363879To expand on this, I'm reading Shadowbeat right now, and they just don't fucking make sourcebooks like this anymore. It has rules on how to steal cable tv, and run a pirate broadcast. Is it completely unnecessary? Probably, but I love that someone thought about it.
>>97364175I think the metas make it even stranger from our world, so it feels more like an unfamiliar place>unrealistic but feels lived inI get what you mean some of the things aren´t realy that 'logical' but if feels convincing>>97364190All this niche stuff is, at least to me, what makes the settingI remember reading somewhere in the rules "There is so much going on every night, not all of it on your level" and this sheer abundance of options makes this more plausible"Don't deal with dragons" was recommended to me, did you read that book? What do you think about it?
>>97364342Ive never actually finished Never Deal with Dragons, although not because I wasn't enjoying it. Got distracted 3/4s of the way through.I've read Into the Shadows, 2xs, Changeling, Striper Assassin, Fade To Black, Wolf and Raven, Shadowplay and Night's Pawn relatively recently (last few years). 2xs, Into the Shadows, Wolf and Raven, and Changeling would be my recs. Changeling especially is fun because it's from a Troll's pov.

>>97294915Play your decks more, boosts hidden mmr. You'll play smarter players the more you play a deck as you win more.
>>97364831How would "target player" instead of "target opponent" behave significantly different in these game modes except opening up options in the context I mentioned? "Each player" and "each opponent" are completely different cases. Again, I never argued all cards should be worded more openly every time.Also I was talking about nonsense restrictions in general. "Target creature YOU CONTROL gets +1/+1" - why? Why one I control? It's an effect that by design is something that will already be used the intended way in 1v1. Wouldn't a more open effect also make team games more interesting? Another thing is that magic does have tons of cards that are actually worded that way. I just don't get the ones that are not
>>97365637sealed is a little more chill but also more luck based since you see less cardslimited in general you can just get fucked over by unlucky opens (and draws of course)draft is really good value if you want the cards in the set you are drafting, and okay value otherwise if you maintain a good winrate
Gotta admit I liked the Avatar set. It helps that I never saw the show and don't know anything about it so it being UB had less of an effect. But the mechanics are fun, art is good and I always liked monks in magic. Only a few busted cards imo. Fun limited. The only thing I know from the show, elemental mastery, seemed implemented well. Surprised there wasn't a black bending mechanic, like gravebending or some shit
>>97367761Black bending would be a Korra thing, they used Gender Bending to make everyone gay and lose their bending abilities.
Oh no no no
