>>93215338>Doesn't that make all sides in 40k elaborate corporations?>"Hello Anon thanks for coming in on a saturday on such short notice. I know it can be hard. I called you hear for this IR (inhuman resources) meeting because I've received the quarterly reports for blood and skulls and it seems you are 2% off company standard. Yes I know it was a slow quarter and you are a fresh employee, but at the same time we are going through a bit of a recession so I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go.">I know it can be hard, b- Severance pay? Yeah we don't do that here. In fact since your chainaxe is company property we're going to have to dock your pay to pay for it. If you have any questions feel free to contact me but don't bother because you'll be a spawn by then and unable to speak coherently.
Can someone tell the ai shitter to go back to their containment thread.
>>93215477
where the fuck did everyone go? fuckin dead thread indeed
>>93215486Wait for burger hours.
Thread question sucks. New thread question:If you were alone in a room with Robin Cruddace tied to a chair for an hour with no consequences - what would you do?
>>93215486everyones posting in the elden ring general
>>93215497I'd beat him until he gave all is reddit and twitter usernames and passwords, break into all his accounts and post controversial opinions on all his social media. Then he will have my permission to die.
>>93215384The Arks of Omen books don't appear to be in the Torrent. Does anyone have a mega or something? I didn't see them in Da Share Thread either.
>>93215477Neck yourself, tranny.
>>93215468Would
>>93215497I'd make him smoke weed and fill his belly with DIET soda and play Burnout Revenge for the PS2...
>>93215484its not a drawing.
Alright frens, where can I find decent looking space marines that are at least 80-90% official looking? Got a tournament in 3 weeks time and I don't want to give gw money for models.
>can find 3rd party stores selling whole armies meant for warhammer fantasy>can't find any good chaos space marinesIs it because GW is faster to sue people making 40k stuff or is simply easier for them to prove they're being plagrarized when compared to say some elf models?
Where can I find decent looking T'au auxilliary models?
>>93215599Buy second hand minis locally. 3 weeks is not enough time to get 3rd party models unless you happen to live in the same country.If you're adamant about getting 3rd party, bitsofwar has various marine ripoffs and the quality is pretty good.
post games
What's the next retarded AoS crossover model they are going to push
>>93215600Damsa makes some pretty good csm, look harder.
>>93215626Dont worry, 40k models look shit on their own no need for the help.
>>93215600Probably the combination of trying to make legally-distinct spiky power armor and the abundance of official SM/CSM models on the secondary market.
>>93215497I'd make a bowl of eggs and tell him he has to eat them before he can go
>>93215637at least try to make your bait believable
>>93215647do I need to point towards custodes, votann, or admech again?
>>93215622Played my 4th game of CSM last week vs Black Templars. Had to proxy but it was a lot of fun. Legionaries hit like a fucking truck and Chaos Lords are a lot of fun
>>93215615I have a 3d printer. I found some new sm Scout models and some eradicators that were very close to the original on cults from a guy that got them from a website that scans GW models. Would love to get in but it's invite only. Tournament only accepts official model, which is cringe but alas it is what it is. It's why I asked for models that are 80-90% original. Attached is an image of the scouts.
>>93215631He seems to have like 6 random pieces uploaded to 3d cults so unless you have a website where he uploaded a whole range of models there's nothing more to look for.
>>93215655do I need to point towards all stormcast eternals, cities of sigmar or any of the non-chaos warriors slaves of darkness sculpts again?
>>93215659I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to have power armor
>>93215687we're not talking about age of sigmar you goalposting retard.
>>93215697oh you're genuinely retarded and not baiting, got it
>>93215497Ask him why he squatted the Imperial Guard and replaced it with the Astra Militarium.
>>93215659Those Black Templar look awful blue.
>>93215683No james, i'm not going to spoonfeed you.
>>93215622>tfw havent played a game since the 2000sgranted im only just getting back into 40k but fucking hell its been a while
>>93215719I love the guy but he's a crackhead and enjoys having his BTs have all sorts of other chapters as allies for the battles, for his assault ints and such
does anyone have the image for all of the mordant earth basing colours?
>>93215722Just admit there's no more, it's ok to be wrong.
>>93215719>>93215736he appears to be a decent painter at least
I dont think I've seen a single photo where two sides of the table have a fully painted army in these threads.
>>93215745Y-yeah, there's no more, just a few bits ans pieces, yes sir.
>>93215755almost like people who actually play play to get games in and paint models as they go instead of insisting on painting everything to thread standards but never doing so and never playing but still whining about how shit the current edition is
>>93215736What's going on with this pic I see helbrecht and red butchers and MKVI heresy world eaters and normal CSM all in one pile
>>93215755wonder if people with a fully painted and based army feel bad when their opponent army is half painted so they chuck in an unpainted model or two so they dont get the +10 VP as well
>>93215736Well fair enough I suppose.Tabled my friend's Grey Knights with my Templars.
>>93215759Anon, I know you're trying to come off as smug to feed your ego but all you did was act like an asshole and make a fool out of yourself. Keep replying if you think it'll save your face, I don't care anymore.
>>93215600It’s more that the 38 year old Spanish boomers who make STLs care more about WHFB than 40k
>>93215761damn thats crazy. >>93215770meh I dont think people even adhere to the vp thing anymore anyway.
>>93215785His entore catalog is on telegram man, this isn't hard.
>>93215799>using Nazi and pedo social media
>>93215755Here you go.
>>93215816Does 4chan not count as social media or do you somehow think this is not a nazi and pedo website?
>>93215821very nice, whats the model next to the knight? A glotkin?
>>93215751He gets his stuff all commission >>93215769He plays exclusively 2k so I proxied some of my Heresy army as csm. Rampagers were chosen, Red Butcher was MOE and the primaris LT was my Chaos Lord. A cluster fuck to be sure but he really wanted the 2k pts and I wanted to try a full size game
>>93215416I've got some black sand full of quartz and agate with the gold dust extracted. I paint the mini, slather a bit of glue and give it a dip in that. Then I'll dry brush it a little.I've done some similar stuff with gravel and ash in the past, but I'll prime it along with the mini.
>>93215622No pics, but I can finally sit down and write the highlight reel for my last battle from before the balance update>3k Nids vs 1k Marines, 1k Guard, 1k Custodes>Mix of Large, medium and small bugs vs Mixed Primaris, classic Cadians and Shield Host>A trading game> Neither side held mid long enough to score>Hellblasters and Guard blob wipe out the preliminary wave of Leapers>Zoanthropes and Maleceptors blast infantry off the table, clearing the way for the big bugs>Tyrannofex eats a Sentinel>Imperial tanks flub their rolls, Eradicators picked up by Neurotyrant on Overwatch>Tyrannofex eats a Russ Vanquisher>Marine player Oaths the Norn Emissary, takes it down to one wound with Bladeguard, and finally finishes it with an overwatch move after it falls back>But it collapses on the last two Custodes guarding a flank objective, allowing Gaunts to swarm it>Another gaunt swarm comes in from reserves with a lictor and steals the Imperial backfield>Same Tyrannofex eats a Caladius>Seems like a nid victory is imminent, but the Imperial forces rally>Survivors swap onto objectives and offer support fire with their important weapons, fresh units take to midfield and punch down>Judiciar steps over a decimated custodian guard squad to Kill steal Old One Eye>Custodian pick up where the last Bladeguard died and slay the Hive Tyrant>Kasrkin, Guardsmen, Hellblasters all overcharge their weapons to kill the Maleceptors, taking all their hazard rolls on the chin>All my big hitters are gone, bloody stalemate ensues>Neurotyrant and Tyrant guard show Marines the Wall>Zoanthropes cover a Psychophage as it bum rushes and wipes a Sisters of silence squad>Gaunts on desperate chip damage>Tyrannofex turns the Rupture cannon on Custodians>Utter bloodbath>almost two hundred models sitting in our casualty bins>Imperium clinches the win via secondariesMassively fun but too long. We've all agreed to go with elite armies only for our next game.
>>93215832Yes, with knight bits.
>>93215840>commissionive got a friend like that, but he hasnt painted a mini in his life and never plans to. with people that pay for commission, how often is it that the person paying for it has never painted a mini or would it be more common for someone to get it done after they tried themselves and gave up?>>93215845you wouldnt happen to have any photos of these bases by chance anon? sounds interesting
>>93215799Who the fuck uses telegram when discord exists.
>>93215863I know plenty of people who commission their characters but paint everything else themselves
>>93215840>He gets his stuff all commission>Pays for models that look like THATTell your friend I'm selling the Brooklyn Bridge and he can have it for 39.99.
>>93215865usually crypto dudes from my experience with telegram
>>93215865nazis, pedos, and furries that want to sell lewd stickers
>>93215865discord will still copyright strike your shared files and unless you're a paypig you can't share more than like 20mbwhere tele won't bother unless you're extremely overt
>>93215863This >>93215868 is pretty much what I have seen. Commissioning a character or two. One friend had their 4th Edition Space Hulk commissioned a year of so ago which is the biggest commission I know of.
>>93215868sounds about right, i guess they are just scared of fucking up their characters
>>93215863I only post other people's stuff here. Don't want to dox myself. I'm pretty famous in this niche community and I don't want some paki autist or tranny jealous of unrepressed white masculinity to annoy my family.I think I followed this guys tutorial in case it matters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz2nLeXxl0U
>>93215886It also helps to make them a centerpiece. I'm a good painter and I was considering getting Helbrecht commissioned just to make him look that much grander than everything else even though I know I'd do a decent job painting him myself.
>>93215872That's my model not one of his purchases lmao. He's just a guy who loves the game and has enough money that he pays for the hobby portion>>93215868I've seen guys like this too
>>93215897You have no models, understood
>>93215872Post models
>>93215908>those hazard stripes Anon...45 degree angle to the edge of the surface, parallel lines, yellow stripes should be the same width as black ones.
>>93215872Are you trying to say that model looks bad?
>>93215924My first time brother. We'll get em next time
>>93215897thanks anon, appreciated. might have to go to a pet store and find some stuff for bases, ive got a fuck load of bases now as i plan on changing my entire army over to 32 mm and feel like i should actually give basing a proper go this time instead of just sprinkling ballast over it with glue and calling it a day
>>93215927Nah, that model looks great. >>93215908 did a very good job. But when you are paying someone a commission what you expect from a paint job goes way, way up. I do not think I have ever painted a model to commission standard where I would feel comfortable taking money from someone for my paint jobs.>>93215921K
>>93215821yo is that you frozen flames anon? love your stuff
>>93215970Yep, thanks anon. Unfortunately that was my final 40k game, I've quit.
>>93215821>>93215985>"quit">still crawls back like a beaten wife to attentionwhote with same 2 images every 2 months or soPathetic. And to think that I used to have respect for you lol.
>>93215990Hey post a table with two fully painted armies or shut the fuck up. The man delivered unlike anyone else here has.
>>93215995>gargle gargle gargle i love balls so much
>>93215985Damn shame to hear that, always loved your pics. Hope you at least hold on to your collection and find some time for a match in the future.
>>93216002Im sure you do.
>>93215990I would stop posting, but some weirdo keeps claiming that I totally haven't quit and just moved to B&C or discord or whatever.
>>93216003No, he quit for good over the femstodes "outrage" that hasn't lasted even a month before everyone stopped giving a shit, because the dumbfuck made up a spook that "femarines are just around the corner". Since like much many others he doesn't view custodes as anything more than Rustoleum Gold sprayed marines.>>93216007The fact that you keep checking these threads out is a testament to your prolonged & lingering attachment. If you were to truly unfetter yourself, you'd just vanish instead of trying to protect your anonymous honour against some other fuckface slandering you without any proof.
>>93216034>The fact that you keep checking these threads out is a testament to your prolonged & lingering attachment.You know what, that's fair.
My fellow eurobros. Please. We must stop posting about our love for unpainted models and gargling balls. If the Americans wake up and find out we will never beat the allegations.
>>93216034Are they trying to memory hole femstodes or it's going to drop any day now
>>93216034>Since like much many others he doesn't view custodes as anything more than Rustoleum Gold sprayed marines.I mean, they kinda aren't anything but that. They had a chance to make them something else and they didn't. If they were an army of half naked muscle dudes that would at least have been something different.
posting kroots in a dead thread
>>93216067Likely? Memoryhole. GW are as risk-averse as it gets, even the modicum of waves it has made likely has dissuaded them from pursuing such things later down the line for at least a while.>>93216071Pretty much what I was getting at, at least sculpt-wise. But in terms of fluff they're intended to be completely different.
>>93216074Great paintjob! Love me some kroot. I like that they're kinda voluntarily anprim but still have some high tech stuff because its useful, like the gun on the left. To me it almost feels like kroot are the moderates of 40k: they don't fuck around with tech too much because tech can be bad & they also don't fuck around with biomancy too much either because genestealers/tyranid genetic makeup is abominable in their views. So having these savage bird yautjas be the "level-headed guys" is pretty endearing.
>>93216074what is that thing on the far left, they didnt give kroot a handheld ion cannon did they? also how long have shapers had the choice to use a pulse rifle? i havent played tau since 4th ed
>>93216131>A Dvorgite Skinner is a type of exotic alien weapon developed by the Dvorgite and sometimes wielded by Kroot Heavy Gunners.>These weapons charge biological material to create a searing stream of energy.it's a gift from a previous employer, it uses leftovers as ammo
>>93216131>also how long have shapers had the choice to use a pulse rifle? i havent played tau since 4th edsince always
>>93215995NTA but sure, here you go.Attention whoring is the gay, having a childish shitfit but then still hanginging out is the mega gay
>>93216264>hanginging outholy fuck am I having a stroke?
>>93215622Played against Craftworld for the first time this edition. I understand why people hate elves so much now.
>>93216168oh nice ive never seen one before. your paint job is amazing on that kill team btw>>93216173oh shit you're right, i probably forgot as me (and my friends that played tau) would just make a shaper from the plastic kit and refused to buy the metal shaper, which had the pulse rifle im assuming
>>93216264how many flyrants does that nid player have? fucking hell
>>93216292Was some vanguard invader list which just threw genestealers at you and then throws the -1 attacks power from the Flyrants (that stacks) on whatever could actually fight
>>93216278>Aeldari nerfed as fuck with useless banshees and 46% winrateHow you lose?
How would you do a captain Nemo-style character and to which faction would he belong to?
>>93216278wtf is that eldarfag running
>>93216076>dissuaded them from pursuing such things later down the line for at least a whileThat would be wiseI don't think there are that many wise men left at GW, they would need to do an internal review of who is stupid enough to poke the hornet nest that is their own fanbase and put a chokehold on BL authors if they really want to put a stop to the nonsense though and I doubt they have the foresight or resources to tard wrangle their writers
>>93216364car crashes, judging by the positioning
>>93216364Looks like a 7th edition jetbike spam list lol
If GW makes demons apart of the chaos codex I'll start a plague marine army even with the shitty combat patrol.
why is there no news about new edition of battlefleet gothic? i want more space boats, especially more glorianas
>>93216383Prepare your tzaangors
>>93216398I'd rather prepare my anus for you
>>93216371>poke the hornet nest that is their own fanbaseThe outrage was fairly minimal, I severely doubt even 1% of people have left the hobby over it.
>>93216383I'm not sure it's going to happen or belakor would have joined the undivided chaos marine book
>>93216384Doesnt need to be, the community owns that game now, grab your rules here:https://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/index.php?topic=5203.0You probably want to use BFG:Remastered ruleset and fleets, unless you're a complete madman and don't like your fleets having any sort of faction flavour, in which case you should use BFG:XR (and have everynoe else think you're a shitter).If Legions Imperialis is anything to go by, GW coming back to make a new edition would just make things worse.
>>93216423If that 1% was at least a couple dozen whales it can hurtSome of the people that spend the most are the most turbo autistic people I ever meetIf anything people with 3d printers won big time, even if people didn't quit I have seen a lot of people buying more stuff to proxy, I'd say that's a healthier outcome for this mess
>>93216384Same but I want Space Conches & Friends.
I want to buy an Orca. Can anyone recommend a solid recaster where I'll actually get what I pay for?
>>93216451Yes.
>>93216451I'd say you can't afford it, but that's only like twice the price of a Combat Patrol at this stage
>>93216448unfortunately nid ships won't be conches
>>93216451it's a fucking box, get it printed instead of wasting hundreds
>>93216479I mean the new ones are pretty darn sick too.
>>93216478bargain! :D>>93216475link faggot>>93216484I hate 3d print models, and recasters are about the same price. No I don't print myself, I already have a job.
>>93216484That would have been my opinion, but I wouldn't have gone with FDM like this horror.
>>93216497You asked if someone could, you did not ask that someone do so. Tranny.
>>93216505>>93216497do you really want to pay 700+ dollars for it?
>>93216514What the fuck. Just buy a printer at that point.
>>93216497>I hate 3d print modelsSuit yourself, but for the price recasters charge for Orcas it would be cheaper to get into 3D printing lol. Thats BMM's price, their Orca is tidy.
>>93215477>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T POST AI ART YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!!!!!!>Please give me the latest 3d printing slop kthanx!
>>93216514>>93216520Jesus, just print it, the model is solid,
I'm confused about overwatch, can vehicles use it even if they are engaged? Can you use stratagems when you overwatch? For example a stratagem to add ap to shooting?
The best move GW could have pulled would be female tyranids
>>93216514wonder how many of those they've sold
>>93216525You've gotten too comfortable again.
>>93215985>Unfortunately that was my final 40k game, I've quit.Sure you have, you're just posting here "ironically".
Is the Thunderhawk any good gameplay wise? I want one because it's core in just about every space marine story but is it playable
>>93216384In the meantime checkout dropfleet
>>93216533Vehicles can't use BGNT outside your shooting phase, so no. Strats will depend on when you're allowed to use that individual strat
>>93216514looks like its made form a milk jug and a couple redbull cans
>>93216540There always where female tyranids they just dont have tits. (They most likely have no gender but whatever) Was the Neurolictor not sexy enough for you?
>>93216616Time to lay off the booze anon
>>93216540Bro???
>>93216540Might like there players, they will never be women.
>>93216540If you mean cringe shit like K*rrigan then I kindly ask you to fug off>>93216628They're pretty much sexless and reproduce parthenogenesis, they have no real need for sexual reproduction as they already can freely juggle their gametes and genes around
>>93216451What for? Orcas are Legends now.
>>93216553Short no. Most if not all Flyers are currently bad and Forgeworld models (specially the big ones) tend to be the worst.
>>93216540all tyranids are female except tyrants who are hermaphrodites, some hormagaunts who are males and genestealers who are the patriarchy
>>93216484>it's a fucking boxt.
How many people here still play the game on a regular basis?
>>93216644>They're pretty much sexless and reproduce parthenogenesisParthenogenesis is a female exclusive trait.
>>93216644>they have no real needIs not always a reason to not have it at all. Also could have been a backup plan for cut off units to still reproduce. I don't know, not that deep in the lore (if it is ever mentioned).
>>93216349I’m ass at the game.
>>93216689Post ass.
>>93216666Painted beat primer base coat, of course.
>>93216514BMM is stupidly overpriced for recasts, granted I haven't seen any other offering the Orca
>>93216531This one's great and all over telegram
>>93216540>female tyranidsFor what purpose? Why do Tyranids even need genders?
>>93216681It's a mode of asexual reproduction by definition. The sexuality and parthenogenesis are a dichotomy and diametrically opposite of each other. When there is only one sex there is no reason for the classification, really.Either way this is splitting hairs and getting into the "females are more basal than males" territory.
>>93216508Well I asked you now, but we all know you're just being contrarian
>>93216716You called me a faggot, why would I help you?
>>93216514well no. So far I managed to get my recast models at a lower price than the original FW one o0
>>93216716Look man, if your principles are worth paying 1000% for the dolphin box, more power to you. Just think it's a weird hill to die on
>>93216719new to this website?
>>93216727I just bought a Barracuda for 50$ off another site, was hoping to get a similar price point for an Orca too (no that site did not offer the Orca). But no I'm not going to die on a hill of 700 dollars, no worries.
>>93216666I play frequently but I post less about it here, not much good comes of it
>>93216727>Tau dolphincool
>>93216682Tyranids essentially reproduce by corrupting and infesting. Be it people like the genestealers or the environment/biomass like the rest of the hive fleets. They really don't reproduce they just repurpose.
I've been rather enjoying painting smol 40K recently.
>>93215985Attention-whore, have a you for your efforts.
>>9321638428mm scale Battle Barge
>>93216738Barracuda is about 1/3 the size of an Orca though?
>>93216786>Roughly 170mThat's a big mini
>>93216758Okidoki, thought they might need big genepools or stuff for that and maybe a connection to the hivemind. If they can do that on a small scale as well it would be worthless.
>>93216773That looks difficult
>>93216786i want gloriana ships
>>9321678628mm is around 1:56 scale, so given the Battle Barge is 9.5km long, that would make a 28mm scale Battle Barge 169.5 metres long. Gonna need to expand the gaming room a bit.
>>93216758Ehhh idk if I sit well with that definition, because following it you kinda get that tigers reproduce by infesting biomass.
>>93216719If you can't call your buddies a bunch of faggots, are they really your friends?
>>9321678628mm scale Craftworld
>>93216803Its the infantry that really try your patience.
>>93216705The Trazyn-Orikan novel featured a scene from the PoV of a genestealer. The pronouns used in for the genestealer in the scene were her and she.So female Tyranids exist.Also, you have the Norm Queens which are not only females but empathize with females from other races.
>>93216805>>93216786Imagine a scale model Craftworld.Craftworlds are the size of continents. Even reduced to 6mm epic scale (280:1) that would be a plastic ship 10 miles long.
>>93216822>plasticIt's gonna be resin, let's be real.
>>93216813135 Marines - thats like a company and a third right there! Space Marine chapters are really small when you think about it... Did GW ever stop to think "maybe 1000 dudes just isn't enough on battlefields of millions in the lore?"
>>93216833Didn't they retcons the 1000 members per chapter thing with the Age of Gulliman, saying they could all go over again?
>>93216825Aye, and you're going to need to find the worlds biggest hairdryer to straighten that shit out before assembly.
>coolest looking weapon in the setting>gets punked by boring looking power swords both in the fluff and in the gameWhat were they thinking?
>>93216844You're entirely correct, Chainswords are far cooler than the Power/Force weapons
>>93216843>Yeah bro lemme just fix the FW warping real quick
>>93216844For all its faults, 10th allows many units to rock those chainswords for pure rule of cool now
>>93216838Nope! You won't find a single source stating that it's been lifted despite it being mentioned many times online. Chapters are still supposed to try and stay close to their 1000 man-at-arms limit.
>>93216844I prefer the Sudoku pattern chainsword.
>>932168331000 guys is like a midsize high school of marines lmao
>>93216705I remember reading about some waves of gaunts being made with males and females for the purpose of mating right after the attack, as to have an extra layer of genes selection and adaptationin another case they were deployed with pre-fertilized eggs, spent some time nesting and then attacked so that by the time their attack was carried a new wave was hatching and readying itself for the assault in any case it makes sense the moment the hive mind requires the swarm to act a bit more independently on the prey planet, so it's probably something done primarily by smaller fleets that take longer to invade and devour a worldfor these purposes, I imagine lictors would be prime candidates for having genders and mating practices, I can easily imagine them competing via trophies collections, and in hindsight, deathleaper's impressive skirt makes even more sense for these bird-like mating rituals
>>93216844I never really liked chainswords myself, it was always a bit of a silly concept. With a chainsaw at least you never want to be swinging it at and bashing it off things, you'll just fuck the chain up, you want to be applying slow steady pressure, which absolutely does not make for a very good close combat weapon against anyone armoured.
>>93216844Frost blades can be comparable in effect to most Power Weapons according to fluff.
>>93216431>https://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/index.php?topic=5203.0Damn, reading this and playing Nids feels like competitive tard wrangling with that Instinctive Behavior flowchart
>>93216710Does not matter.Parthenogenesis is an exclusive female trait, meaning and making all tyranids female.
>>93216893are orks female?
>>93216876Yeah but that only outside synapse, and by and large the instinctive behaviours are more or less what you want them to be doing, getting close and getting stuck in. 40k used to have similar.
>>93216894Are fungi?
>>93216894ORKS IZ JUS' ORKS
>>93216894Orcs are clearly male-coded.
>>93216897fungi are weirdsome species have no genders, some species have 2 genders, some species have MORE than 2 genders because they fit the very niche ecological criteria where that strategy actually pays off unlike pretty much every single other type of organism that develops gendered gametes
>>93216907They're non binary, sorry.
>>93216908Unironically fascinating
>>93215497The better question is: why do you still make the same post about this guy 9 years later?
>>93216942He was relevant the last time they played
>>93216853And yet a Chaos Lord swings at S4. What a joke.
>>93216894No, they are fungi.
>>93216893>can produce both gamete types>its totally 100% regular female tho Why do I get a hunch your argumentation is driven by some political bullshit? And that is to say, we have zero information if nids even use parthenogenesis, which might not be the case at all. For all intents and purposes, they have never been shown to use sexual reproduction and as such can only be defined as sexless.
Out of curiosity after reading chainswords vs energy swords. Is there a mix of both? An energy chainsword.
>>93217001thats probably a little bit too extra even by war-hammer standards. Also the physics/mechanics for how both things operate in two separate ways would just conflict with one another, like a sword axe.
>>93215497Make him write more codexes for armies I don't play.
>>93217001chainfists basically are that if you meant power weapons and not retarded shit like Eisenhorn's lightsaber(lol Dan Abnett)
>>93216908Don't forget that some frogs, fish and others can change their gender (but always from male to female if i am not mistaken)
>>93217024>retarded shit like Eisenhorn's lightsaberI'm not remembering, what did he have?
>>93217001Yes, a chainfist is a short chainsword mounted to a power fist that has the typical power weapon energy field applied to its teeth.It is used for cutting open ship bulkheads and other heavy armor.
>>93217035A literal lightsaber, I'm not joking.He loses it at some point and starts using the much cooler Barbarisater, Abnett probably realized it was retarded.
>>93217035Sollex-Aegis Energy Blade. They use focusing crystals, if you want to hear how literal the ripoff is.>Tbf it's not exactly egregious, it's just a bit silly
>>93217042he did it as a joke but the editor took him seriously and allowed it.
>nids are all gir-Ahctshually all nids are colonial organisms being little more than blood cells for the Hivemind (which is a parallel constantly drawn in codices). But they're also colonial organisms locally, as per BoB:>To human eyes, a tyranid organism was a single thing. A beast like any other. This was not so.>Each monster in the limitless swarms was a carefully designed colony of symbiotic creatures. Once incorporated into the hive fleet's genetic knowledge, the baseline genome of those organism chosen for a primary host was pared back to the bare essentials, and gifted with the characteristics common to all tyranid creatures - thick, chitinous armor, a hexapedal anatomy, multiple redundant organs - characteristics that, above all else, made them incredibly difficult to kill. Only then were the true adaptations added.>Though the finished creature may have looked like a complete, single being, it was made up of a multiple of individual creatures, many of them semi-sentient in their own right. This was most obvious to the casual observer in the weapons borne by the larger constructs, whose repurposed anatomies still retained recognisable biological shapes. There were other, less obvious examples of forced parasitism. Thinking blood. Organs that could live seperately from creatures they served. Subsidiary brains that awaited the death of the main nerve stem or the presentation of some unusual circumstance that required specialist knowledge not present in the basic mentality of the creature; both events that might never come to pass. Organs could be installed, fully aware, and live for centuries, never realising their potential. The hive fleet was so huge it could afford to be profligate with flesh.Even the ground beasts are essentially dinosaur-shaped siphonophores.
>>93216908>some species have MORE than 2 gendersLike people
>>93217055>Ahctshually all nids are colonial organisms being little more than blood cells for the Hivemind So, femoids?
>>93217013>sword axeWouldnt that be basically a bat'leth? (star trek)But yeah i thought is was weird but who knows.>>93217024>ChainfistsOH yeah the chain part does profit from the forcefield right? Is no sword anymore but hey it's something.
>>93217058Based
>>93217027Pretty sure I remember seeing in Blue Planet or one of those shows a fish that is always born female and then turns into a gigachad male later in life.
>>93217036Thank you that helps.
>>93217058Okay Squanto, slink back to your teepee. I think I hear a skinwalker on the edge of camp
>>93217024>Eisenhorn's lightsaberWasn't it just a ordinary sword that the tech priest powered?
>>93217077That's his second one
>>93217077>I threw myself to my feet, pulling my sword from my webbing. The device is a fine weapon, of the old kind. It has no material blade like other, cruder models I have seen. It is a hilt, twenty centimetres long, inlaid and wound with silver thread, enclosing a fusion cell thatgenerates a metre-long blade of coherent light. The Provost of Inx himself blessed it for me, charging it to 'protect our brother Eisenhorn always from the spawn of damnation’.
>>93217067Kobudai do that.>>93217027There are also multiple species that can change back and forth multiple times.
>>93216908>>93217027Certain slimemolds also have hundreds of "mating types" which can be sorta defined as "sexes" as well as featuring both single-sexed and hermaphroditic mating types.Kinda funny how mother nature always seems to BTFO most Slaaneshi stuff in terms of weird sexy stuff. Those darn castrator barnacles are nightmare fuel enough to swoon any KoS in spite of being regular ahh animals.
So lets try again hopefully in the right thread this time.A bunch of my pals have been getting into 40K lately, i myself have never been much into what feels like fairly clunky rules but i have been thinking of getting an army lately.Problem is that i dont like the look of most of the armies. I do like the look of the HH Mechanicum armies but find 40k Admech to look either weirdly WWIIish or just downright goofy. I do like big stompy robots however and with few models on the table there will hopefully be less bookkeeping and getting tangled in the rules. So i`m thinking Imperial Knights.Question is then, is picking Imperial Knights as a starter army a good idea or is it doomed to failure?
>>93217058I was being very liberal with the term used, but I was referring to gamete types, so no, humans have only 2, but even in the case where you want to apply 'gender studies' to the definition, these fungal schizos beat the human schizos:>Schizophyllum commune has a tetrapolar mating system with each cell containing two genetic loci (called A and B) that govern different aspects the mating process, leading to 4 possible phenotypes after cell fusion. Each locus codes for a mating type (a or b) and each type is multi-allelic: the A locus has 9 alleles for the a type and an estimated 32 for its b type, and the B locus has 9 alleles each for both its a and b types. When combined this gives an estimated 23,328 potential mating type specificities. While all mating types can initially fuse with any other mating type, a fertile fruitbody and subsequent spores will result only if both the A and B loci of the merging cells are compatible. If neither the A nor B are compatible the result is normal monokarytic mycelium, and if only one of A or B are compatible, the result is either two mycelia growing in opposite directions (only A compatible) or a "flat" phenotype with no mycelia (only B compatible).I dare you to list 23000 human genders
>>93217131>Schizophyllum>It's literally a schizo
>>93216666none of us do fuck off stop asking
>>93217131Reminds me of that one weird scifi thing I can't remember the name of where the alien species is like weird centaur things which can have like 20 different combinations of genitals and a zillion different possible mating combinations.

>>93217227
>>93217235Ah, a bit dissapointing. Are they fun to play?
>>93217227Eldar are like the universal "allies with tense relationships" faction for the Imperium at large. They're by far the least hostile alien species, but they also are inherently untrustworthy because if they are not currently shooting at you then they are always manipulating you to an end that benefits them more than you. And sometimes they're doing that WHILE shooting at you.The Eldar won't necessarily lie, but they will tell you things when it is convenient for them that you know them.
>>93217262>They're by far the least hostile alien speciesthat's tau
>>93217235I mean, it's a little bit more complicated than that now that they interact with terrain again. There's still positions and target priorities to consider.
>>93217235This poster is a certified shitter
>>93217239If only they would ban London on /tg too.
>>93217269I'd disagree. Water Caste diplomacy is what it is, but Eldar don't take over entire Imperium systems
>>93217309>Eldar don't take over entire Imperium systemsBecause they cant, and because if they did they would exterminate whatever is in those systems.
>>93217269No, it's genestealers: they are loyal and constructive members of the Imperium for hundreds of years at a time, the ones who rise against the imperium are an extreme minority compared to the number of hybrids that live and work peacefully under imperial lawsand the planets that rebel were going to get eaten by tyranids anyway you cannot prove me wrong
>>93217269Eldar controlled the galaxy for 65 million years without fucking with independent alien civilizations and mostly keep to themselves even now.Tau have been around a few thousand years and are already committing war crimes and annexation on every neighbor they can reach.
>>93217329This is bait.
>>93217313I agree, but that's not the galaxy as it exists. As it is, Tau are doing more shit against humans cause the Eldar are just floating around
>>93215755In my case it's because most people at the store are incredibly slow painters. Hell, they don't even put 100% painted armies on the table for a tournament.

How would you do a chapter of marines that joined the Tau?
>>93217416I wouldn't.
>>93217416Would never happen. Loyalists and chaos actually team up to kill xenos first, then they fight each other.
Do tau even have any inner specializations for their civilizations besides being humane (derogatory).
>>93217416I would never.
So if he got kissed by a genestealer, who would be in control?
>>93217416I would tiptoe around what it means to join the tau:>lesser chapter created for the purpose of protecting a specific shrine/planet/people>gets isolated from most imperial contact by the cicatrix and written off as lost>the tau arrive and help the planet against a common foe that would have annihilated them, with the intent of annexing the planet or at least integrating it into their resources network >the humans of the planet join the empire but are given leeway to remain somewhat autonomous (this is further justified by this planet not being close to the core of the tau empire, perhaps it's near the atoll)>the marines are autistically focused on their ancient mission and condone the new allegiance, as long as they can keep carrying out their dutyor you go with an actual renegade chapter that avoided falling to chaos and join the cause of, say farsight, out of a sense of honor and newfound brotherhood after nearly going extinct/falling

>>93217655Who? He's right though.
>>93217662Nuhuh, he's wrong thoughever.
>>93217662What is canon?
>>93217516I'm very sure they were explicit about the alien origins of the tech, helmawr just pretends it's daot to the imperial authorities
>>93217607That's a non-sequitur on top of being wrong.The Kroot chose to go to war in the way they do. It isn't forced on them. And the T'au do not use them as cannon fodder. There were situations where Kroot shapers were allowed to lead T'au Cadres into battle.
>>9321766940k rulebooks and codices before 8e
>>93217655Only 40k books, ie. codexes, are canon to 40k.Only AoS books, ie. the tomes, are canon to AoSOnly books partaining to TOW are canon to TOW.Whatever is said in another universe doesn't matter, only the direct books matter and are canon.
>>93217611RAW every archon doesRAI wait and see
people say that AoS models look better than 40kis it because necromunda steals all the creative ideas and designers away from 40k?
>>93217693But isn't necromunda 40k? I don't think I understand
>>93216666I've played a couple of games in the past month but it's useless posting about it here cause the nogames faggots ree about it.
>>93216793Indeed, but 150-200 would be more reasonable than 700 ^^
>>93217702Only necromunda books partaining to necromunda matter and are canon.What is said in Necromunda matters not and has no effect on mainline 40k.Same with Horus Heresy.They are all different settings for intents and purposes.
The only things that are canon are Xenology and Imperial Armour Part 6
>>93216666I usually play around once per week. Last week was an admech game so I didn't post about it much. My Orks look better than my admech.>>93217703That's just all the more reason to post said games, anon.

>>93216833The 1000 marines thing is only "battle brothers" which are full fledged marines. Chapters typically operate a force on the millions with chapter serfs, servitors, support staff, militias, aspirants and in the case of fleet base chapters, ship crews.

>>93217737It sure fucking is anon, 5th is unfinished obviously. Planning on swapping out these bases for an ork army, I'm definitely going to hate this process fucking hell
centerpiece models are honestly a big turn off for me.
>>93217758I don't count the rats and cockroaches on a ship as its population
>>93217757It's not bad, but like a lot of GW's more recent centerpiece models, there's just too much spindly shit going on and it becomes a pain in the ass to transport and play. They really need to sit their designers down and remind them that they make game pieces, not display models.
>>93217770Got a pic of the current Orks?
>>93217771No one asked you, kid.
>>93217771Guess we won't be fucking after the game :(
>>93217779i dont sadly :(
>>93217789Damn. I love seeing more Orks. Get one when you rebase the models at least
>>93217771Cool so I'll continue including them, last thing I would ever want is you turned on at the table. Freak.
>>932168331000 marines is just something GW decided in the back in the 80s/90s to be "feasible to collect".Marines are absolutely broken in 40k, like they retardedly OP, like being able to move about as fast as eldar, meaning that normal humans aren't capable of tracking them.Strong enough to punch clean through your chest.Strong enough to tear open armored doors and bulkheads if need arises.Be able to be cut in half basically and still live to fight another day, and this doesn't even mean dreadnoughtsAnd it makes sense seeing what kind of shit they have to contend on a regular basis.People seem to forget but marines were SPECIFICALLY CREATED to fight xenos and shit like it, even daemons to an extent. Marines weren't designed by the Emperor against normie humans.You don't call marines in for some random ass cultists or disgrunteled civilian uprisings, those are specifically the jobs for the PDF and Guard.
>>93215622I would, but my last few games have been with my unfinished orks or fighting other people's grey tide and I didn't take pictures unless they look good. I guess I can post an oldie. My last game was using the new cards, I won on points in a close one, but my army almost got tabled.

I'm trying to find a funny pic and I'm not having any luck:its a drawing of a space marine poledancing in a stripclub for a sororitas audience, obviously humorous. Does anyone have it? Tried a lot of different terms to search it on google, no luck
>>93217844Nevermind, found itIt occured to me that the pic may have been lewder than I remember, so I searched on a booru instead and found it no problem
>>93217844I remember it, feels like something I could have seen on 1d4chan back then
Why didn't the Emperor just teleport a neutron bomb into the vengeful spirit instead
>>93217854no homo
>>93217866that's where I first looked actuallyto be more precise I first tried 2d4chan, but they fucking killed that too. I groaned, as I knew that 1d6chan wouldn't have it, as its just a shit watered down version that has been overtaken by fags who have deleted anything "controversial", and of course I couldn't find it there
>>93217872battle bros...
>>93217870Something something chaos
>>93216705Female is the default sex for most creaturesAlso hormagaunts lay eggs and genestealers have ovipositors
>>93217870It may have been uneffective because of warp shenanigans, it could also just have been disarmed or teleported back. The Emporer also believed that something that simple would not be able to defeat horus at this point and if i am not mistaken the Emporer still harbored the hope to "save" his son until sanguinius died.
>>93217870The chaos gods would've just made it a dud probably.They are all powerful remember.Even got timey wimey bullshit time travel powers too.Which realistically means that the 40k universe should no longer exist at all anyway because Chaos has no restraint for anything, it only wants destruction.And no the gods aren't preservering the galaxy because they care, they deliberately do not give a shit. And they don't need to give a shit because the pull and drain power from the entirety of the infinite multiverse. Yes, this is exactly how it works, blame GW for this literal marvel tier garbage.Only thing the gods truly care about is the Great Game, which is just them fighting and bickering with one another to try and become the sole ruler of the Warp.Even the Horus Heresy was nothing but a mere "turn of the head" for them, and they only ever did it because they were concerned about the Emperor's power, aka the fact that he is 100% capable of killing them.>TL;DRGW and BL writers are stupid and most things in the 40k verse happen only because the writers want it to happen that way.
>>93217693Psychic Awakening are 1st party 40k books, like it or not.
>>93217808Nope, 2W.
>>93217895>and genestealers have ovipositorsNo, not really.How genestealers work is by they give the person "the kiss" which just irreversibly fucks up their genome and mixes it with tyranid DNA.They don't implant any eggs or the sort into the person.And when that infected person goes to fuck another person the resulting child will then be a genestealer hybrid.The genestealer thing is literally more akin to an infection.
>>93217909"The Genestealer then thrusts its long, whip-like tongue (which also serves as an ovipositor) into the body of the host, where it deposits its DNA in the form of a type of virus that infects the somatic and germ line cells of the host." There is even a picture of it with the comment "A Genestealer Ovipositor as dissected by an Adeptus Mechanicus Magos Biologis."
>>93217909NTA but they do implant a pellet, the xenology books (iirc) shot even a duct inside their tongue.
>>93217909But it is called an ovipositor and it does inject a living being, not a mere viral agentI will also argue against the idea that the infection alters the genetic code of all the cells of the organism, I believe it's far more subtle than that
>>93217895Are you all vorgetting about Tervigons that literally breed termagaunts and the Parasite of Mortrex?
>>93217939>vorgettingForgetting, sry.
>>93217939the tervigon is more akin to an incubator than an actual mother
>>93217906>but muh tabletopTabletop and the lore aren't the same thing.Trying to justify the tabletop with fluff or justify fluff with the tabletop is stupid and retarded.Also fact is, GW never intended for the tabletop or lore to mirror one another perfectly.It's purely an abstraction to make it easier for people to imagine what's happening on the board.If it truely did then the game would be an absolute shit show and any semblance of balance would be thrown out the window.If you really wanted "lore accurate tabletop" which itself kind of already moot because GW changes the fluff at a whim lot of the time it is contradictatory bullshit making this a fools errandyou'd have to change all the armies drastically.For example 2000p marine army would be like 1 squad of tacticals/ints with a rhino or a land raider. Or you just bring Guilliman and solo your opponent.2000p guard army would be actual 2000 guardsmen with like 10 leman russes.2000p custodian army would be like 1 or 2 custodian models.CSM would be same marines but you replace the tank a daemon engine or you just bring 1 of the traitor primarchs.Like I said, this is fucking stupid.
>>93217650>actually Anphelion Project is a fanficah farming those Contrarian Points, what are you planning on spending them on?BTW pretty sure gaunts laying eggs comes from that book as well as rippers gestating into other forms if pressured to do so
>>93217956The FWverse was a pretty cool fanfic project, shame it ended
>>93217954>marinewank: the postTabletop is the great equalizer. Other factions have their marine-grade units, so your point is entirely nihil.
>>93217956>Anphelion Project is a fanficIt is, a high quality fanfic but a fanfic none the less.FW shit has never been the norm for 40k.Only people who believe this are the midwits that hopped into 40k during the midhammer era where they thought it was the "norm" when it wasn't at all.
>>93217204thats a BL writer
>>93217951Is that so? I thought they do both.
>>93217966>uhm actuallyCry about it.Marines are retarded over powered and that is entirely by the design of the original creators themselves.Go cry to them if you don't like the fact that the SUPER soldiers are, act and are potrayed as SUPER.
>>93217968>>93217959Refer to this: >>93217903 :)
>>93217966Fucking Christ this webm makes me want to play necrons so badly. They're just so cool brosBut I have too many projects already
>>93217854>>93217872>infinity, battletech etc generals>hot chicks>40kg and aosg>this
>>93217974You sound like the kinda guy to say "yeah that would never actually happen in 40k" after your pitiful squad of marines is diced by ork boyz
>>93217974>Marines are retarded over poweredAll tabletop factions are, they're not exactly special in that regard even if they are formidable.Just watch the 10th edition trailer, you can't get a more first party showcase than that.
Rolled 1 (1d6)>>932179776 and you start Necrons and drop the other projects
>>93217975Anon why are you confusing actual GW campaigns with FW fanfics?
>>93217972I don't think the fluff really goes too much into the specifics, but I seem to remember the gaunts are mentioned as being dormant, rather than created ex novoand they do come with biomorphs attached already, so chances are the tervigon is more simply carrying a bunch of halfbaked gaunts at different stages of embryonic growth that have been laid and modified with biomorphs by some other organismkinda like a male seahorse carrying the eggs laid by the female in his pouch
Rolled 4 (1d6)>>93217991Whew lad, I'm sorry but I'm glad I dodged that bullet. I have shitloads of Orks to paint before I can consider crons.6 and I don't buy anything until my backlog is finished
>>93217983You know you like it but there is also this >>93216638Joke aside last few ones were full of lelith and other boobs.
>>93217900>Which realistically means that the 40k universe should no longer exist at all anyway because Chaos has no restraint for anything, it only wants destruction.obviously its one of those things that's a writting plot hole virtue of the lore expanding like a balloon over the years, but I'm not being cynical, I understand that's just how things with all big franchises are). I find it disingenious as fuck and a horrible exaggeration to compare it to "marvel tier garbage" tho, lore inconsistency in GW happens because it has a fuckton of writers with each focusing on one aspect or another with more interest. Trying to bicker "oh, this writer said that an ork was able to snipe someone from afar, the writer is GARBAGE AND THIS BOOK IS A DUMBSTERFIRE!" and discrepancies about the nature of fucking chaos is legitimately a "seriously bro..."You know it ain't wrong to say and say "chaos gods don't want humanity/the galaxy to die" and that your theory of "they only give a shit about ruling the warp" isn't perfect, but there's no point to argue about it because in this specific case its instead more interesting to discuss it on a philosophical level of what does chaos and the chaos gods mean to each writer, reader or person. Holy fuck, I digressAnyway, in reality I just wanted to tell you to not be so bitter and cynical, legitimately as honest advice. I know you enjoy 40k at the end of the day, so screaming like if it was some shit like fucking Harry Potter is not adviseable
>>93217996The whole conversation started when anon called the GW campaign a "fanfic"
Rolled 2 (1d6)>>93217999>4Time to purchase more shit
>more and more marine cringe
>>93217983Are you for fucking real? Do you really think those pics were posted for lust in the same way hot/anime chicks are?when the fuck has bara not been welcomed as something funny and a humor staple of this site?who the fuck are you? what the fuck are you doing here? how the fuck have you never heard of gachimuchi?
>>93218014How about you post about your faction instead of just complaining then, anon?
>>93218022just report shitposters that have nothing to add or say and ignore
>>93217997The wiki says they get breeded inside and then stay dormant and that Tervigons are used as guard on ships for the abillity to produce a lot of units fast. Is a bit wacky and can be interpreted either way i think.
>>93218022
>>93217826I did. It's an old photo. They look much better now.
>>93218048Man that guard is strong.
>>93217997>>93216705At the end of the day Tyranids are sexless biological constructs that can 'awaken' male or female sex charateristics if it is needed. Its more a question of utility of creating other tyranids on the battlefield or not, there is no gender difference between them or mate attraction occuring
>>93218057Based. Literally.
>>93218062Actually based take.
>>93218069>>93218018mad because bad lmao
>>93218062Bioengineered weapons that can be changed for it's purpose.
>>93217997Speaking of tyranids and seahorses, the fuckers make a good attempt at designing a mixture of endoskeleton and (pseudo)exoskeleton
>>93218091tell me it's not close
>>93218091The repeated ribcage pattern does look kinda tyrannic, good catch
>>93218069Hey calm down. it's not me who dreams about males on steroids
>>93218102nobody does you mong, stop trying
>>93218091That is, Tyranids are loosely based on Xenomorph.Xenomorph is loosely based on marine lifeforms.
Where is the 40k news? Are they avoiding it at all costs for AoS?
>>93215816>pedo social mediaYou mean discord
Does anyone have a vod or a stream of Renegade Raiders being played competitively? I'd like to get in on the fun despite the nerfs but apparently the detachment has a very high skill ceiling (similarly to drukhari where you need to juggle your infantry between transports) so I'd like to see it being played out in terms of deployment, what you put in the rhinos, scout moves, first turn etc. Big thanks in advance
>>93218145its all about the skaven bros right now anon
>>93218145Their new box is selling laughably bad just like Dominion, so they're trying their best to scrape up more sales.
>>93218165wouldn't it be the opposite? If a product fails don't they abandon ship to the next thing?
>>93218165>Their new box is selling laughably bad just like Dominion,One with skaven which looks almost identical to Dominion orcs?
>>93218135I don't think I've ever seen anyone compare the xenomorph's anatomy to a seahorsenot saying it's not possibleI'm just finding the whole thing amusingly parallel and fitting
>>93215264so by another dramatis personae, did they mean Lady Haera?https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/07/01/lady-haera-helmawr-emerges-from-the-underhells-in-a-unique-spyrer-suit/
>>93217496... God damnit, you're right
>>93218196>>93218135Pleasant to have nid visual design afficionados here.This talk reminded me of 2E gargoyles & this particular fanart of a mouth gun inspired by them.
>>93218232so it would seem, but I believe there's more in store for the malstrains: the guy fused to the spore wasn't actually planned but made by the sculptor on his free time, so chances are the malstrains have at least one or two extra things in store stillbetting on the tainted magus that started it all and a fat patriarch
>>93218252I like it, but I also really love the slaanesh land sea horses as well.
>>93218269Oh yeah that's fair, I guess that's a bit too much overlap
>>93218252>little flame for the flamethrower instead of the starship trooper's bioelectric ignition, the bombardier's dual chemical reaction, or clicking mandibles DUDE
>>93218273It’s just a satisfying silhouette.
>>93218171To anyone with a brain, yes. AoS should have been scrapped and abandoned years ago just like Fantasy.But GW doesn't operate in a logical way.
>>93218276I'd go for CLACK-CLACK But fr tho the stuff you described dont have much of visual stuff going on, it's mostly happening on the inside
>>93218303could be worse. At least the era of fucking imbecile Tom Kirby is behind us. Imagine if he was still CEO, I have no doubt he would have tried to cash out on the woke fad and pushed for way more gay shit
>>93217854
>>93218311I hope some anon makes an updated version of the Tyranid evolution of forms
>>93217932If I recall the Magos from the admech can't tell when a genestealer "infection" is within a human host.The only thing that they notice is that they are for some reason healthier than the rest of the population.Unless you have some lucky imperial authority stumbling upon the cult the sneaker fuckers will spread fare and wide.
>>93218498I would have done it but my autism prevented me from trying anything more encompassing than thatand even with that I've got issues because I can't decide if I have to follow meta-history about the designs development or an in-setting philogenyI'd also have to make some pretty wild assumptions
>>93217309Tau Water Caste must hit the drink hard after a day of having to negotiate with the Imperium, all eh while dead skulls are flying around their heads,the skull is apparently some venerated soul, meanwhile the diplomat you're dealing with cant help being xenophobic as fuck towards you the whole time, constantly calling you a filthy xenos, and referring to you as "lesser races" who should "know their place". Of course, the whole diplomatic affair is because the Imperials want a ceasefire because they're getting their shit pushed in elsewhere and don't want to deal with the Tau front right now.
>>93218252>>93218311>>93218498There really needs to be a book a la xenology but solely dedicated to the study of Tyranids. At the very least to have a source to point to for a lot of commonly repeated ideas about their biology and invasion cycle that gets contested.I remember I'd been repeating the fact that the chimneys on bigger bugs were primarily for heat dispersal because Tyranids are literal organic machines that run hotter than is sustainable for most life for years. It got to the point where I couldn't actually pin down the original source I'd read it from and had started to second guess myself on it, but then the 10e wave came around and they had the designer commentary article in White Dwarf and there it was again in plain writing.
>>93218540Thanks for even making that anon, its great. If you're torn between meta-history about the designs development and in-setting phylogeny maybe making two versions could work. I'd imagine it would reveal a lot when you compare that versions back to back.>I'd also have to make some pretty wild assumptionsto be fair anon the assumptions seem pretty sensible and reasonable. I'm biased but Id say go for it
Do space marines name their vehicles? I know things like Land Raiders do (eg. Rynn's Might).
>>93217954Retard take. Marines die by the hundreds everyday. Got suck marinecock somewhere else.
>>93218580What’s the story behind the craft world that let themselves become taken over by genestealers? I can’t find anything about it.
>>93218548>I remember I'd been repeating the fact that the chimneys on bigger bugs were primarily for heat dispersal because Tyranids are literal organic machines that run hotter than is sustainable for most life for years. It got to the point where I couldn't actually pin down the original source I'd read it from Yes GW really does need to repeat core basic ideas like this more often, like republishing text from the realm of chaos to dispell the mass misunderstanding of the warp
>>93218616That was from a BL book I beleive, their infinity circuit was destroyed and giving themselves over to the genestealers was seen as a way to preserve themselves from Slaanesh. Their Avatar of Khaine and Patriarch fused into one abomination of a being as well if I recall correctly
>>93218165Has that box released already? I might look for someone to get cheap skaven to have in a drawer for all eternity, might actually paint them, I like the rats
Is there any way to make Iyanden not look like shit? yellow and blue is rough but the fluff is cool
>>93217329>eldarfag being a loreletname a more common combo
>>93218580How do bio-titans fit into the whole Tyranid synapse thing? Are they just their own thing like Lictors, able to crack on with their own motives without being told explicitly what to do by the Hive Mind?
>>93218062A child is sexless because it's sex hasn't awakened. Retard take.
>>93218647Samefag less you pedo.
>>93217329>Eldar controlled the galaxy for 65 million yearsAnd done sweet fuck all in all that vast expanse of time. Eldar are LAZY.
>>93218639I dunno.Maybe make the yellow very pale and muted. More yellowed bone than true yellow. Make the blue metallic. Just spitballing.
>>93218661Don't be mean. They worked very hard to birth a new chaos god and fuck up the universe even harder
>>93218619>limbs' heat sinksI remember those being described as respiratory tissues>spiracles on headthose were auditory canals once
>>93218646Titans aren't universally synapse creatures, some are just controlled, other are synapse creatures and so can think for themselves. Depends on what Titan form you're talking about, Lictors are like genestealers and are independant above anything that comes out of a hive fleet>>93218647I don't even know what you're talking about here anon. Children has sex chararistics, so do babies, its their reproductive system that hasn't awakend yet, not their sex characteristics

>how to start a GSC Armyjust don't
>>93218639darken the blue and desaturate the yellowpossibly turn the blue into a metallic colour too mantain the saturated and bright colours only on the clothes and iconographymake use of patterns and I'd add here and there some red/orange and/or purple/violet as spot colours to break the scheme depending on the modela good base, like dead blackened arid ash-covered earth could also give you a way to make the bone colour pop up more, make every little bit of saturation count, and give you the occasion for dark weathering on the lower parts of the models that is going to frame the model together with the dark blue of the upper parts gold inlays inside the wraithbone I bet could also look neat, I think

>>93218761Yeah really, I made a 2k list recently and it's 96 fucking models.Probably even more once the points reflect the newly nerfed datasheets.

>>93219183I did. This guy doesn’t know what he’s doing.
>>93217496Hmm. So it is. Must've been thinking about him while listening to my music. Funny how things work out, huh?
>>93219184well then you might hate 40k from its inception if you think multiverses are what ruins titles.

new thread>>93219351>>93219351>>93219351
>>93219275Oh and I would also recommend using a light wash or even a pinwash. The blacklining is good but shouldn't be the only thing you do for shading.For example, the grey looks rather flat in certain areas like the face/helmet and on the fingers holding the gun. I would also recommend using a black/red color for most of the bolter so that it stands out from the grey armor. From a table distance it might blend in with the armor and not be distinct.
I bought 3 more chaplains this morningI cant help myself

>>93219245gk nemesis dreadknight? i noticed that they're a similar profile to gundam
>>93217416It would be the other way around. The tau would gatherdead space marines, analyse how they work and after figuring out how the geneseed works, try to make marines of their own. Not sure if it'd work, but an imperial/chaos marine would never join a xenos empire.
