This is such a generic feature in so many eastern armors that its not even worth bringing up. I get it, you are cumming and pissing over the new assassins creed game, and now you're an expert.

Its not katana, and even if it was Indians have their own Katanas. Its not Wholly the same, but they are similar. Also, far sight is an outcast to Tau hes not a representative of Tau as a whole.

>they all speak with japanese accents
I dont speak moonrunes or streetshitter, but im pretty sure what little books they have cant talk to you.

>but clearly they're supposed to be pajeets because one pajeet religion has them carry a knife
Multiple of their suits are named after Indian myhtology, and the race is designed after Rama, from the Ramayana.

Brothers! Sons of Sanguinius! Today, we stand on the precipice of glory and sacrifice! The echoes of our Primarch’s last breath fill our hearts, the memory of his blood fueling our righteous fury! The Black Rage courses through your veins, a divine gift of vengeance, a sacred burden bestowed upon us by the Angel himself!

Look upon the enemy, these heretics, xenos, and traitors who defile the Emperor’s light! They think us mad, consumed by rage. They are right! For we are the Death Company, the fury of Sanguinius made manifest, the living embodiment of his wrath! Our minds may be shattered, but our purpose is pure. To kill in his name, to die in his name, to cleanse this galaxy of all that stands against the Emperor’s will!

Remember, brothers, the vision of our Primarch, the purity of his sacrifice! Let it guide your blades and steel your hearts! We are the sons of Baal, the harbingers of doom! In our final moments, we shall burn brighter than the sun, our names etched into the annals of legend!

For the Emperor! For Sanguinius! Death Company, unleash your fury! Show no mercy, for you shall receive none! Today, we forge our legacy in the crucible of war! To battle, brothers! To glory! To death!

FOR THE EMPEROR! FOR SANGUINIUS! CHARGE!

Sanguinor itself IS Sanguinius pretty much.
Nevermind that we have already seen Sang "return" many times, that fucker just appears like every 2 weeks to give a small pep-talk to his sons before he disappears again.

The latest notable one was when Mephiston went under the primaris rubicon procedure and during it he found himself inside the Warp, where he then witnessed an Angel of Light and an Angel of Darkness battling against one another.
Then Sanguinius himself appears next to Mephiston after which Sang proceeds to explain to Meph that the Light Angel is in reality the Sanguinor and It and the Black Angel have been fighting within the Warp ever since time began.
The Black angel obviously being the darkness within all of them, ie. the Black Rage that sometimes manifests.

And the Angels existance has affected all Sons of Baal, from the current space marines to yes even the Xenos species who lived on Baal, before humanity ever set its foot on there.
And the influence and mirror of the Angels are seen in real space as the 2 moons of Baal, Baal Prime and Baal Secundus.
And the moment ends in that Sanguinius convinces Mephiston to take the Black Angel within himself to supress the chapter's flaw and weaken the Black Rage for a time, which would damn Mephiston's own soul.

GW is constantly setting up that Sanguinius will return, not as some "Sanguinor" thing, but as a full on Sanguinius himself is reborn.

The sanguinor isn't sanguinis but some sort of warp ghost.

Originally a sanguiniary guard who fell into the warp and became one of the dualities that make up the blood angels, embodying their nobility and such while the black anger embodies their savagery and rage.

Nah, it’s fine. I’m just wondering why the anvil siege force detachment has a 20 point enhancement that allows captains to get back up after dying, even though captains can’t die if they are protected by a bodyguard

They’re not monsters or vehicles, they’re just heavy infantry with a couple of abilities. It seems like a waste of enhancement, right? Maybe I’m stupid.
>>
>>93194450
>even though captains can’t die if they are protected by a bodyguard
Weapons with Precision can target your leaders past the body guard. The Epic challenge stratagem lets a character target another in melee.
Setting your captain back up after a shooting attack can let you hold onto an objective.
They still are a model that can complete actions and objectives and contribute to fights.

So at this point I can almost bet that they'll probably make models for all the primarchs (yes, even the dead ones) and bring them back for the extra sales.

Now I'm not looking forward to 30k style Primarch duels in every other game, but every time a Primarch was released their old legion/chapter got some extra love and new kits so I'm looking forward to what they'll come up with for Word Bearers.

Any guesses on what your army will get?
>>
>>93194654
since all the primarchs already have models for hh why don't people just use those and make homebrew rules for them to play in 40k instead of begging for their favourite primarch to make a return in the fluff

The old style Emperors Champion. Simple, effective pose, it just works. Looks like hes just going to walk forward and take someone's head off in very short order.
They fucked it up with the newer re-sculpt, turning the sword the wrong way round, raising the left leg for a tactical rock, raising the right arm to hold the sword even higher. He's posing, showing off, its weakened the model. I prefer the original one, he looks like an executioner, not a poser.

No? He looks like hes leading a charge, summoning the rest of his allies into a charge, giving them the sword as a focal point on the battlefield briefly.

Its got nothing to do with it being an older model, it could well stand to have more detail on it, I wouldn't be bothered by that, but the pose of the newer one is a straight downgrade.

Really anything with sable hair. Natural hair retains liquid better than synthetic counterparts, so they’re better at holding their shape.

are rank and file marines capable of extracting geneseed from dead marines like the salamander in pariah nexus was going to do? I had the impression only apothecaries were trained to do that

Do not put models in your fridge. They'll get cold and suffocate.
>>
>>93195926
Any marine is probably able to do so (considering how much training and knowledge of their enhancements they have), but without proper tools getting through the armor will take time and without the preservation vials geneseed will quickly become unusable.
The act may still have ceremonial/cultural meaning.

They probably have emergency protocols and stuff. Space daddy goo is an expensive resource and should be saved when possible. I always found the “1 apothecary per company” thing way too low. Every marine should know how to do the job and have some spare storage. If at all possible there should be an apothecary with a nathecium for every 10 marines.
Also I think he was a Veteran, so he’d probably been around long enough to know the procedure.
I don’t believe he finished though in Pariah Nexus, and leaves everything behind after he deals with the zombies.

There's a few instances where non-apothecary marines extract geneseed from fallen battle brothers. Off the top of my head, a Salamander died against a demon in the Scars novel and an Iron Hand marine used a knife to extract it. He was successful, but the White Scars librarian noted that the process was sloppy and mangled the body, not that they had any other option at the time.

Flaws of this model
- blade misaligned with the hilt
- bad cloth sculpting, or rather deliberately sculpting for edge highlight crutch
- laurel lifting off the helm makes them look like bug antennae

"Soul" means that the sculpt has human touch to it. That it doesn't look or feel digitally sculpted out of ideal 3d shapes deformed in identical ways and cloned with copy-paste.
Soul is looking at chainmail parts of mark 1 power armor of a thunder warrior and realizing that it's just greenstuff that Jes Goodwin poked with a needle 30 years ago, the same way you yourself can sculpt chainmail today.
>>
>>93196780
Depends on what counts as "new" to you.
If you want my honest opinion I think the Lord Solar Leontus model is pretty soulful. They probably had an AoS sculpt team guy on duty for his design and sculpting.

I don't think there is a reasonable needle sized pin that can work for a 28mm scale sword blade.

No I don't think I have the ability to properly use plasticard for replacing the sword.

I've pinned swords and knives on 28mm minis before. Unless it's ridiculously thin, it shouldn't be that hard.
Could just replace the entire sword from the hand up. Might be easier
>>
>>93196808
I've used 0.8mm drill bit to pin a custom plasticard sword blade to a hilt. It barely, but worked. You can also secure the bin with two long pieces of plasticard inserted alongside the blade.

I understand that the prices can seem daunting.
GW isn't the whole hobby though. There are some sources of miniatures that aren't very expensive even when compared to GW prices. I only know of Reaper miniatures and Wizkids.

I usually advise hobby newcomers to try wizkids and/or reaper with a small amount of paints and a brush to get started in the hobby to find out if it is for them before they take the plunge into Warhammer. It actually filters them out quite nicely.

Depends on the event. For the ones I attend conversions, third party models, and 3D prints are fine subject to TO approval, but proxies are not allowed (i.e. this weapon counts as something else) since it's confusing for players.

No a proxy is like what the previous poster talked about, using a model with a multi-melta to represent a heavy flamer. A third party model is something that's not made by GW but represents what it is and what it's equipped with.
>>
>>93197015
Both are proxies. A third party model is simply entirely a proxy, if you've got the wrong gun you are proxying the gun.
>>
>>93197015
A proxy simply means representing something with something else, a stand in. By definition a third party model is a proxy

aside from confusion, anything that doesn't make an adequate alternative (size difference, weapons difference, base difference, etc.) or something that just plain violates the spirit of gaming (i.e. that asshole using sodas as drop pods in a spam list)
>>
>>93197102
Ignoring events, most people I play with a fine with proxies so long as they're roughly the same size as the model they're replacing and match the base size of the original. When proxying weapons, as long as you apply the same rule for the whole weapons in the squad, then it's also fine.
For example, "all the heavy weapons in this Retributor squad are heavy flamers" is fine, but if you said "this Retributor squad has 2 heavy flamers, one multi-melta, and heavy bolter, but this multi-melta counts as the additional heavy flamer" it gets confusing for the other player.
>>
>>93197102
If it's wildly different in silhouette or thematic style.

Like trying to run a predator as a royal dorn or a stock carnifex as a deffdread.

But if it's reasonably close in size and theme only a /thatguy/ is going to raise a fuss. At the end of the day a power armour soldier with an energy gun is a power armoured soldier with an energy gun so your alternative marine with a plasma gun or what ever is gonna be fine.

soul is animus, wind, movement, the original motive, it is cause and purpose

to make an example, AI art is generally almost completely soulless because bots don't understand what they're doing, it is imitation of patterns without conscious intent, while even the simplest scribble can have a soul the moment the person making it thinks about what he's making, why he's making it and how it's making it, he is conveying that intent and emotion to you and you can see it in the best cases even in the smallest component because he would be pouring this level of attention into every single component

but instead of recognising a fellow consciousness you attack the pattern in the word's use, you choose to be blind, automatic and excise your own soul from yourself

you're the frog, but the negron, and the frustration you feel is the mocking absence of your own soul

Even if it was a joke, all Combat Patrols are now priced at $162. Which is still a 10% markup from individual purchases. I don't think they have any upgrade kits or anything they can pad the box with like they do for space marines sometimes.

Man I picked GSC as my first army, got two combat patrol boxes but these recent changes kinda killed my motivation to assemble and paint. Got halfway done with one box.

Brutal...

Do you think they actually make more money shipping absolute garbage that can't sell in combat patrols compared to making something that people will assess as good value?
>>
>>93197833
why, what changes exactly?
>>
Cant wait for the World Eater combat patrol to just be a MOE, 2 sprues of jackals, and a maulerfiend.
>>
>>93197838
Yes
>>
>>93197815
There's also Grey Knights still
>>
>>93197861
Their memory wipes are effective because I always forget this meme faction exists
>>
>>93197861
it does have the entire range, but the discount is still pitiable even among 10th edition stuff.
>>
>>93197838
Guaranteed they're cramming combat patrols with shit that doesn't sell to trick newfags into buying them 'for a discount'
>>
>>93197861
It's like the lowest discount of any of the boxes though
>>
>>93197876
Isn't that what the Christmas battle force boxes are for? Or the jam then with shit they know they're about to nerf heavily so they can clear out their inventory before they stop selling.

This one literally can only get better. There's no way they can possibly make it worse
Same with deathguard
>>
Real talk, why are combat patrols getting worse and worse over time? Surely it can't be PURELY straight up greed?
>>
>>93197893
They want to lure you in and buy other kits
They don't actually want you to enjoy lots of discounts
>>
>>93197893
It's GW, of course it's greed.
>>
>>93197888
the worst thing is that the sprues hog up like a majority of this boxes value.
>>93197893
because 40kiddies will buy anything with a 40k logo. People will legitimately tell you that the new custodian combat patrol is better despite it having less of everything in it.
>>
>>93197888
The new ksons box will be 3 units of tzaangors and a tzaangor shaman
>>
>>93197903
There has to be one token power armor unit at least to keep pretending
>>
>>93197906
Seeing how awful all the new cps are', i think they might finally stop pretending and just rename the whole faction Tzaangors
>>
>>93197548
You talk a lot without saying much.
Disregarding that, it is funny to me how ironic your entire post is when it comes to primaris, especially the first sentence.
But I'll let you figure it out on your own, you're smart enough.

What's wrong with them? I actually think they're the best kit we've had in a while.

>we want chaos xenos! We want renegades! We want mutants!

Some Chaos fans are such entitled bunch, they want every imperium toy but with spikes, all flavours of powerarmour and also dip their fingers into xenos shit.

>>93197960
Aside from the fact that you're throwing all kinds of people together I can guarantee you that none of them asked for AoS leftovers
>>
>>93197928
I unironically like Tzaangors
>>
>>93197967
Laughs in Kairic acolytes with guns.
Unironically kino models

Tzangors are good and cool, actually.
>>

People just like the new custodes Combat Patrol because it has more custodes in it. And honestly it's not terrible. The previous one was definitely a better value though.
>>
>>93197977
That's a mutant Tau though
>>
>>93197979
Oh yeah that time they tried to force in a bunch of sisters
They're never gonna be a thing GW

>>93197259
Considering scourges hollow out their bones to be able to fly, I could see some seriously dedicated male wytch having some form of surgery/body mod done to be more slender and ladylike for agility purposes without trooning out

>together
I said "some" out of courtesy and respect to level-headed kayoss collectors.
>AoS leftovers
I mean, they have gun options. Also I'd say they're couple bits away from being very 40k.
As a side note, I haven't seen people complain about Mutalith being "AoS leftovers".
>>93197977
I like them enough personally.
>>
>>93197975
I like the kairics but I can see how they're disappointing to people who wish the army had a unit of armored tin can infantry. Their sword-and-sorcery vibe was probably always going to be divisive.
>>
>>93197994
>As a side note, I haven't seen people complain about Mutalith being "AoS leftovers".
They're far easier to ignore. Not in all the boxes and just one of your fancy special options
>>
>>93197960
Can you point me to any of the TSons books where these goat things are important to the army?
>>
>>93198001
AoS Tzeentch forces do 100% need armored chaos warrior types like Blightkings in Nurgle.

This one might be a good addition if you have an army.
>>93197839
My build for acolytes is now invalid and can't field them unless I build the 2nd sprue as one mining tool one demo charge as well.
>>
Scourges are the best unit in the entire Drukhari index and one of the only units that continuously sells
There's no way they get put in the combat patrol.
>>
>>93198005
They're obvious stand-ins for cultists which all CSM use
>>
>>93198015
Consider the following:
you need 4 boxes to make a single unit with the same loadout
You bait them with one kit and now they need to buy more!
>>
>>93198015
>Breachers in Devilfish are the best unit Tau has, no way they get put in a combat patrol
>Oh wait lol
>>
>>93198017
It should be rubrics and spawn
>>
>>93198075
It should be but then no one would buy Tzaangors.
>>
>>93198010
You don't NEED mining tools and demo charges even if it would be better but yes things like that are ... a shame. Killing your motivation on the other hand is a bit extreme sounds more like you are searching for a reason to procrastinate.
>>
>>93198007
I've thought on it a little and I think a unit with some vaguely Mycenaean armor could be fit in the army. It has that ancient world feel that the Kairic Acolytes conjure with their simple dress. Give them a helmet crest shaped like Tzeentch's squiggly symbol, maybe a bit of trim on the large segments of the armor to match with the shin guards and shields of the army's other foot infantry, and it should work.

No one is complaining about the existence of tzaangors retard. They're complaining that the THOUSAND SONS CHAOS SPACE MARINES box barely has any THOUSAND SONS CHAOS SPACE MARINES in it, and is instead full of beastmen mutants.
>>
Is the combat patrol game mode good?
I want to try 40k out with a friend and combat patrol is cheap enough for me to waste 200€ for cool models (chaos demons vs grey knight) to try it
