>>93241101I’ve never seen it.
>>93241101>upvoteKek i enjoyed that ty anon
Delete the thread or I delete the board.
>>93241091Err, fuck I didn't expect that to work. Will this do?
What do you think space marines dance to?
>>93241117Do it. My life would improve exponentially.
post fem orks
>>93241179
combi weapon change this edition was a mistake. Change my mind.
>>93241179No.
>>93241187Thats a marine only issue innit? I dont really care.
>>93241187bookkeeping for 1 shot weapons is boring
>>93241120The Emperor does not censor.
>>93241187Yes because I want flamers and meltas on my sternguard. Not 1 shot 1 damage, sometimes no save.

Behold, autism and speculation in progress!This is a basic, still in progress version of a new and expanded Tyranid Life taxonomy, starting with the familiar invasion bioforms. I'm not sure if I'm even interested in expanding into stuff like fleet ships and "fauna" organisms given the lack of material concerning them, beyond the stuff also commonly seen on tabletop like the various spore creatures.The Carnifex family will be probably the largest, given that it ultimately covers 90% of the Monster and land-based Bio-titans we know about.On the subject of some discussion brought up the last time I mentioned this thread - Given the much more complicated range of known bioforms, I found treating Warriors as the "base" form for all non-gaunt combat bioforms, as it was in previous GW taxonomies too reductive. I've tried to classify based on implied spine structures, limb configurations, and finally designed purpose of the Hive Mind, to settle on six families based around the least complicated version of what follows them. In the spirit of the old taxonomies I've tried to include "named" organisms and speculation as to their relationships with their closest branches.Currently on my mind are how to tackle some older stuff that I would maybe like to include, but either busts open an actual beehive of additional branches, or will be difficult to classify purely on the material available.>Do I go hog wild and bring in every stupid gaunt-variant introduced by the old CCG? There are 16 of them and more than half are utterly indistinguishable from well established gaunts, they were just made up as excuses for new cards.>Old Epic bio-titans that haven't made the jump to 40k scale, the Dactylis and Malefactor, as well as more CCG weirdos like the Cerebore and Nautiloid, still have weird slug-like body plans that don't fit neatly into the 6 families. Do I operate on the assumption that these would see a similar treatment as the Haruspex and Exocrine before them?
>>93241263wait, are Von Ryan's Leapers not named after their discoverer, Von Ryan?
>>93241263Hello King. Please give me more autistic taxonomy.
>>93241273They are. What makes you think they aren't?Their placement is a throwback to their first "appearance" on the 3e taxonomy chart, where they were speculated to be derived from Hormagaunts. The similarities in their design to 2e Hormagaunts, and the fun idea that the Hive Mind would arrive to familiar solutions when specializing a bioform for a particular role across two different families or family branches, induced me to include the notion of "convergent design", an analogue of convergent evolution (aka "everything becomes crab").>>93241280Thanks. It's been fun so far, and the number of Tyranid scholars in threads the past few days inspired me.
>>93241293a quick skim of their wiki article. always loved the namealso, you're talking about carcinization. crabs are nature's perfect design
>>93241263>>Do I go hog wild and bring in every stupid gaunt-variantI'd say no since they would just be under the gaunt section entirely.
>>93241064where the fuck are they, post them NOW
Where are these promised Vostroyans?
I've asked you guys before, but I want multiple opinions. What color should I base these guys on? One of these, or something in the middle? Dark brown? Urban gray? A technical like Agrellan Earth?
>>93241318>>93241120>>93241320
>>93241263based! glad to see the work in progress anon, will you add the other named types of gant and gaunts that don't have models like nightgaunts and deathgaunts (the missing link between Hormagaunts and Von Ryans Leapers)
>>93241304Yes, but carcinization is just a specific example of convergent evolution. I picked it out as the most recently common knowledge case.>>93241307Yea, I'm leaning that way, maybe at least a perfunctory single branch that's meant to cover the lot of them. The main thing keeping me considering it is that I split off Spinegaunts and Devilgaunts, which I wanted to do because they're so commonly referred to as such when they appear with those loadouts. Also, potentially for reasons like this: >>93241329
>>93241324Dark brown and green, like algae filled sandy muck.
>>93241304>crabs are nature's perfect designThis is what Big Crab wants you to believe. But de-carcinization is a thing.
>>93241329Lmao those balls.
>>93241345that's crabphobic.
>>93241337Can you explain why theres 16 different 'gaunts' but theres only one type of 'gant', why is the main biofrom of gaunts with guns given a different naming scheme?
>>93241360iirc its like "dog" but there are many dogs
>>93241360Ask GW? That said I just generalized "gaunt" for the other types when explaining it. Counted among them are the:>Razorgants>Exegants>Malgants>Genogants>Crucigants>RendergantsGoing by the sole piece of info accompanying each, their card art, there is literally nothing distinguishing any of them from a fleshborer termagant, aside from not being in any recognizable hive fleet colors.
>>93241390For a while I thought small tyranids with guns are gants, and ones with melee weapons are gaunts. But theres examples of both of them having melee and ranged weapons. Its just bizzare
>buy a box of kasrkin for the bits>have 10 leftover bodies>have idea for conversion using arbites bits>notice its cheaper to buy a whole arbites box than just the bits i need. >now im gonna have 10 leftover bodies againWhy am i like this
>>93241406You know I would ignore this as bait but people are retarded like you and the prices reflect that.
>>93241406it's all part of the conspiracy to sell you plasticyou can resell the bits you don't need
>>93241358Did you mean "ant-crabitic"?
>>93241445If that's true then why don't they make all 16 type of gaunts as models?
>>93241324I like second from the right.
best boys
>>93241488I have to check this get, unfortunately
>>93241498Their game got me into 40k.And from there it was all downhill.
Painted a lad prior to the holidays.What you working on boys?
>>93241511you got in with the worst marines.
Finally got my hands on the fulgrim model lot of funny to put together I am scared to paint it
>>93241525I mean, I was 13 at the time and a nerd growing up in a sports family so I didn't have many pickings.Hell, I was first trying to paint Ultras at the time with pastel paints.I was young, dumb, and didn't have good internet.>>93241536Good luck and use a big brush.
>>93241523Zoomer marine initiate. At least I will be come Sunday night. Once he’s done it’s time for my tank. And then hellblasters made out of mk3 marines with plasma cannons.
>>93241543>Dabbing marineIt hurts my soul.
>>93241536Those wings are gonna break so many fucking times.
>>93241547Does a triple flamer tank ease the pain?
>>93241547He’s not dabbing. He’s looking at something and pointing.
>>93241558That it does, the power of incineration heals many wounds.
>>93241550>>93241542Thank god this guys got like four arms or something
>>93241187I can't, you're absolutely right.
>>93241523Postahn a recent
>>93241591Thats pretty good.I really wish I had the hands/patience for Edge highlights.
>>93241591That’s a nice little dude. Good night and good luck /40kg/
>>93241438>>93241445I wanna kitbash some cadian MP's for my list and them them using the arbits rules (the shield and maul guys specifically)I bought the kasrkin box because im mixing bits with the new solar auxilla models to make scions.
10 Warp Talons or do I make Raptors and run both?Friends say one, random peeps say the other
>>93241120>>>/aco/8358234here's the uncensored version for anyone who is interested
>>93241650Don't jerk off to cartoons you actual loser
Idea:Have one of the Tau's FTL expeditions teleport them next to the Q'Orl. Then it turns out that, because of the whole "ethereals were genetically engineered by the Eldar using the Q'Orl's organs" thing, the Q'Orl end up seeing the Tau as 'kin' of their own species and the two join forces. Bada boom, bada bing, you now have Q'Orl auxillaries in the Tau Empire.>inb4 they should release the Q'Orl as an independent armyThat's even less likely to happen.
>>93241683i'm not
>>93241650Good. Now I can jack off on the 4th, like founders intended. I'm surprised GW didn't plan anything for the 4th. No joke Imperial armor where a planet rebels, tries to invade Tallarn, only to get stomped and re-colonized.
Do Custodes models look good with black lenses/eyelets painted on the helms? Was thinking of pic related but I'm not sure if it would look particularly great in practice.
>>93241684But the Q’orl are between the segmentum solar and pacificus. They’re the next speed bump for the nids.
>>93241702If you can't find a reference, do it on one model and keep it near you for awhile to see if it looks off, improvable, or sucks.
>>93241712Yeah I'll probably try that. Not end of the world if I can just paint red or blue over black just fine. But I suspect this might work better on Wardens and Aquilons better than Guards and Allarus.
How are you fellas liking the new mission deck? My weekly league just switched and as a dude who brings multiple bricks of Necron Warriors regardless of edition I'm liking the new battleline bonuses.
another WIP on this war dog, enamel wash and some highlights.. had to start over on the flayed flesh banner though. metal on the blade catches the light better in person btw.>>93241769haven't gotten to try yet unfortunately, fiancee is sick so not been getting games in
once AGAIN I am both 5 and 10 points over for the list I want to build
>>93241796Ask you opponents if they're cool with it. If it's FLGS games then hopefully they'll be cool with it.
>>93241796Take away a special weapon then.
>>93241810I tried that but for some reason the points didnt go down on the app? Weird, must be a bug
>>93241523I had a couple free models from the store, a spessmerin and a stormbro from sigmar, so I decided to learn some stuff with them. Tried out some nmm, quite happy with how they turned out for a first attempt.Im planning on proxying this guy as some dangel thing, if it fits well enough once I paint the armor and such.
>>93241690They're bongs. They hate america.
>>93241846considering THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA make up for a decent portion of their sales, they should start loving them.
>>93241856You're thinking like an American. A bong hates all other countries besides the tea island. If said county at one time reminded them that the british empire was not the greatest thing ever then they get really mad.
>>93241690https://youtu.be/fKJDAVvs_JA
>>93241690anon, the bongs are responsible for the independence days of 65 countries. They're not gonna celebrate losing that many times.
Are all the forgeworld kits going to be legends'd?
>>93241690they'll be busy voting it's election day tomorrow for them
>>93241919Sort of depends on the army, but generally speaking FW stuff is usually legend status these days. 10th has been particularly egregious with removing units, but it's not like they're non-viable for anything outside of a tournament.
>>93241104A Typhon? My buddy built one, died the first game before it got to shoot.
>>93241919Currently it looks like GW is moving most of the forgeworld kits to legends with the exception of the big titanic kits. The only models in the armies with forgeworld purges in general seem to be the massive kits like the Tyranid Hierophant or the Gargantuan Squiggoth.
>>93241187Drives me NUTS!! And vanguard weapon changes to can suck a fucking dick. Oh look, my thunder hammers ran out of gas, and my lightning claws don't work either. Shit makes me want to punch a rule writer in his dick.
>>93241498"Has anyone seen my las cannon?"
>>93241591Bro, he looks awesome. The armor, the sword, great job.
>>93241846>>93241914That's why I said joke. To mock independence day and show why America should be a colony again.
>>93241575>>93241536Whyd you glue him so far off the base?
>>93242038Brits can't joke. Only bant.
>>93241263Don’t forget the organisms that make up the weapons desu
>>93242075I don't think theres as clear or cool design evolution to them like nid bio-forms
>>93242112i dont care what people say this was the coolest tyranid change back in the day
>>93242119Did the first gen tyranid weapons look that different?
Hey Warhammer guys, I got a question. I'm a newfag to the series and I come mostly from Battletech. How do they determine if a Space Marine should be saved to put in a Dreadnaught; they are made from the brains of a Space Marine, right?
FOR MERICA
>>93241780>metal on the blade catches the light better in person btwEveryone who has ever said anything about their model looking better in person is huffing copium bong rips. This looks ass and low effort across the entire model
>>93242141Not normally, its usually a marine that is too badly injured that they can be fixed with being given cybernetic limbs. There's normally a mangled torso with no limbs within a dread. They use the little slit to physical look to see where they're going
>>93242141Not just brain, whole body. It's a life support system
>>93241937>>93241953RIP avenger strike fighter
>>93242141If they're well regarded by the chapter (no strict rules) and they survive enough to be put in a dreadnought, but not enough to be healed. They're not necessarily just the brains, usually they're a head, some internal organs, maybe a mangled extremity
>>93242141Basically what >>93242156 said, but they also tend to have to be a high-ranking of very well-regarded marine to get the treatment since dreadnought sarcophagi are rare and precious resources.So it has to be someone who is worth keeping around and not just Scout Dipshit who stepped on a landmine in his first engagement.
>>93242137well in 2nd edition they were just holding gunsafter the reinvent the guns were organisms that symbioted onto the tyranids on the modelsi dunno what the lore was, but model wise it changed
Another evening of repaints and retouches on old models. 55 down, 15 to go.
>>93242156>>93242164Holy shit. Thats fucking brutal.>>93242166Alright, I see where its coming down too. Thanks. I went to the local hobby store, one dedicated to Warhammer, and while I didn't get anything because it was too damn expensive, I was interested in the Imperial Guard or Astra Militarium. When arranging troops for battle, should I keep a squad with the guns just in case?
>>93242145hell yeah
>>93242179the chaos version is worse. the space marine one is just metal by comparison.
>>93242177
>>93242189Oof.Honestly I think I'm going to go look for a better job. The one I have will not support a Warhammer habit, it barely supports my Retro Gaming and Battletech one.
>>93242179The dude who said that the marine is physically looking out the mail slot in the sarcophagus was fucking with you.The mangled marine is suspended completely in an amniotic tank and the numerous sensors and cameras of the dread are wired directly into his brain. This causes no small amount of mental strain because humans are not meant to perceive 360 degrees around themselves from multiple points of view and with thermal/targeting/radio/scifi scanner overlays. This is why most dreadnoughts are kept in stasis while not deployed - to reduce the strain of this unnatural existence on the marine.
>>93242179>Holy shit. Thats fucking brutal.Space Marines don't have it that bad.
>>93242179So imperial guard is the Astra Militarum (the latter being the copyright name but they get used interchangeably). In general, pretty much any 40k army is going to have at least a couple squads of basic infantry, either mounted in a transport or running around on foot. There's a ton of great sources of 3rd party minis for guardsmen if the cost or aesthetic of the official ones are a bit off for you.
>>93241091>accidentally and foolishly go down a youtube shorts chain of 40k lore>loretubers are talking about custodes>see the commentsHoly shit, how are custodes players irl? This is unironically mental illness from what I'm seeing, makes spacebattle and similar fourms look tame and sane
>>93241091I'm wanting to kitbash the shit out of my Imperial Guard. Are xenos infantry models about the same size as Imperial Guard models or, in other words, would an Aeldari arm/weapon be about the right scale? Are Ork models going to be the best bet for Ogryn fuckery?
>>93242179>going to a store with no intention of buying anythingPoorfags deserve the rope
>>93242208>the lore blurb thay goes along with that imageI love the black books
>>93242214>loretubersStopped reading right there. Unless it's arch doing Imperial armor series the rest of your comment can be answered with:"I'm sorry they happen/good for you."
>>93242216>mixing eldar/ork/human bits in the same army

>>93242214>he read the commentsYour first mistake.Never read jewtube comments. The comments there manage to be even more banal and moronic than /b/'s commentaries on modern politics.But all the Custodes players I know are perfectly well-adjusted and fun to be around. But then that sums up 99% of actual warhammer players I've dealt with over my 20+ years actually playing the game. I've had odd spergs, but nowhere near on the level stories on the internet would have you believe.
>>93242214>youtube shortsYou deserve everything that happened to you
>>93242231>archUseless faggot. stop suckin his microdick
>>93242179>Imperial GuardIn IG, your basic troops actually do very little damage, but they serve the important function of tarpitting objective points and protecting your vehicles from being charged. You use squads of them like currency, trading them out to protect your heavy hitters and stall the point capture game.The kits for the infantry squads all come with the complete weapon options for the unit, but some of those options are mutually exclusive. Some types of troops can take a heavy weapon, others can't. Some can take multiple special weapons, others can't. Some can have sergeants with better kit, others can't. Best advice I can give is to pick the models you like the look of best, then proxy them and their gear in games if you have to when the rules inevitably shift around.I'll also say that if you really can't decide on weapons, plasma rifle / meltagun is the classic combo, since it deals most efficiently against power-armored factions that make up most of the playerbase.
>>93242216I think Eldar and Guardsmen are pretty close in terms of scale, Orks have pretty fucked proportions, but are maybe going to be a bit on the short side for Bullgryns/Ogryns, but anyone who actually cares is an idiot. Genestealer cults might also be a nice source of xenos bits since a bunch of their kits are built to be compatible with guardsmen. Are you thinking of doing a hodge-podge mercenary/pirate force or some other kind of theme?
>>93242210I would like to grab at least one squad, if only to say I have something official. But that is good to know about how to make up an army. My main question is, is there just a simple squad of riflemen? the fella there had one of those artillery pieces that looked like a nebelwefer, some mortar teams, some commando squad, and the like. I'd just like a single squad of dudes with rifles, simple stuff.
>>93242112You’re right I was just hoping there was some more lore I missed about them. I like to think of the weapons like vacuoles in cells that the tyranids just kind of pulled in over their conquests. But thanks for that article I never saw it before
>>93242208Is there a reason admech never made another Archimandrite?
>>93242265Guard infantry cant tarpit anything in 10th
>>93242289Either lost the necessary technology or forbade its usage out of fear of silica animus.
>>93241856I mean they made that thanksgiving art with guilliman and yvraine one time so them doing something for a different american holiday isn't out of the question
>>93242231>>93242244>loretubers/shortsI'm fully aware it's my fault, massive lapse in judge>>93242242I've unironically had bad experiences with lgs, specifically people being weird/not well adjusted, but that was during an mtg phase. Just wish I has friends that were into warhammer
>>93242274->>93242260
>>93242270Yeah so the basic infantry kits on sale now are Cadian Shock Troops (Pretty generic), Catachans (Rambo/Vietnam), and some others that are more specific. Cadian Shock troops can also be run as a generic infantry squad, and can haul a heavy weapon like a mortar team or something similar, but that's another kit.
>>93242307>mtgWell there's your problem. The only people at the LGS worse than Magic players are yu gi oh players.
>>93242237>The Tau are really that young.>This Commander Bravestorm can't handle a bit of horrible realism.How is he going to survive the universe?
>>93242324That's the neat part about Tau - watching them learning exactly what kind of galaxy they happened to be born in.
>>93242145Yikes
>>93242269>hodge-podge mercenary/pirate force or some other kind of themeThat's the general idea. I'm wanting to emphasize the idea that my renegade warband is using non-standard and salvaged equipment. Perhaps toss an officer a fancy Eldar power/chain weapon obtained through trade or battle, slap an ork power claw onto a bullgryn who had his real arm blown off, and just neat shit like that. I love the idea of simple humans going up against the superhuman forces of 40k, but I find the uniformity of cadian spam boring and not bleak enough.
>>93242265I do believe that, next time I get paid then, I'll go and do just that. I'll make an army. Laser gunners, Plasma Rifles/Melta Gun combo. I like the regular joes in war games, they're the backbone of it all.
>>93242324Wait until they meet necrons. The c'tan are gonna Skull fuck them. Can the void dragon control tau tech as well?
>>93242313Thanks mate. I wrote it down so I won't forget. Are the Candians the only named troop, or are there other worlds?
>>93242327Its almost disheartening. To see that optimism and enthusiasm turn into fear, and hatred.
>>93242337This is a great channel for IG enjoyers from a guy that's been playing them forever. Good place to get started with the faction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkIC3vF9-FEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Xls2LU508
>>93242269>>93242330>hodge-podgeIt's called Mod Podge you fucking idiots
>>93242360best advice for an aspiring IG player is to get a 3d printer.
>>93242360Yess, thank you!
>>93242370>tfw could've bought a resin printer with what I've spent on models that I largely kitbashed out of tournament compliance anyways
>>93242384Yeah but you did it yourself, and that's some honest work
>>93242370Can confirm.>>93242384Same here, anon.>confession time TLDR spent too much money and get a printer if you're going with the guard.I spent a load of cash on third party resin minis to make an extra special and unique guard army. My main reason was to stick with the previous scale of guardsmen, but I later discovered that a lot of 3D stl makers are moving towards the new scale and I realized I could have the best of both worlds of the new scale and customizing nature of 3D STL editing this whole time. I dare not think of how much money I've spent on resin minis before learning this lesson.
Anyone have a pdf of the 40k rpg Maledictum Adventure: His Glorius Shield? I've been looking everywhere for a copy, but I've been having no luck finding a copy unfortunately :(
>>93242489Here you gohttps://cubicle7games.com/warhammer-40-000-imperium-maledictum-his-glorious-shield
>>93242365Weak bait but here's your (you)
What's the point of the Judiciar? Just seems like an out of place addition for the sake of it
>>93242660Jes wanted to make a cool chaplain.
>>93241650>>93241120Never knew pin up Vostroyans would trigger me but here we are. My love for pin up girls and warhammer will create a new era of personal coom.
>>93242674Also lost my train of thought. vostroyans + 30k tanks as a substitute for its 40k version, would that be possible to field?
>>93242685Absolutely
Say, theoretically, I want my successor chapter to have goodies of one of the big boy chapters. Which one would have exclusive things that would fit an army of CQC/urban warfare experts?
>>93242685>vostroyans + 30k tanks as a substitute for its 40k version, would that be possible to field?That sounds like a really good way to get two birds with one stone, since the original crusade-era Imperial Army was the basis for the Vostroyans. That'd get you both a 30k and 40k army.The only think you have to be aware of is that 30k tank kits have different options and armaments. Like the 30k Leman Russ doesn't have side sponsons iirc, so you might need to do a work around for that depending on your group. I've seen people do plenty of conversions for alternatives on youtube for that.
>>93242722
>>93242722Magnets is probably anons most straightforward solution.
>>93242719Blood Ravens
>>93242736That's the easiest way for sure, but I don't think the kits even come with them so you'd need to source others or make them. There are alternatives depending on the fluff you have or the effort you put in, like pic related.
Post a bigger datasheet and gameplay downgrade than bikes vs outriders?>Grenade launchers gone>Special weapons on a durable speedy platform gone>Melee options gone>Less kitbashable>Atv has zero aesthetic coherency compared to attack bikes with outriders/bikes>Scout bikers were stylish and are gone >No more captain on bike option which was cool as hellLegitimately the only plus is that they look in /line/ with bikes but less 90s.
>>93242758Outriders are a travesty, yes.
>>93242758old bikes look like old comic book trash it's actually insane how ugly they were
>>93241187The whole point of combination weapons is that they are a single gun that can choose what gun they are out of a minimum of 2 options. How the fuck they came up with the current stats is beyond me.I want to choose between a boltgun or a flamer depending on my enemy, not some wierd thing it is now.
>>93242669Then maybe he should go do it
>>93242660to let people field a cool proto-chaplain with an executioner's sword
>>93242768They look like world war 2 motorcycles but armoured and chunky. The big lamplight was such a vibe. Very of its time. But its the datasheet im talking about, outriders look good. They just never got a full kit
>>93242345Late late reply, but no, there's a ton of guard regiments that are named, the only ones GW currently supports are Cadians, Catachans, and to a lesser extent the Death Korps. But there's all sorts of other ones, like Vostroyans (Imperial Russians), Valhallans (Soviet Russians), Tallarn Desert Raiders, (Think WW2 desert rats), Elysians (Halo ODSTs kinda), and so on. >>93242330If you want some more inspiration for conversion fodder, there's a ton of good deathwatch conversions with xenos shit, might be a decent place to start.
>>93242736>MagnetsHow do they work?
I feel a bit crazy but its so obvious that gw hired a lot of the warmachine sculptors. The new tyranids in particular show this, but also some warcry stuff. It'll be noticable in other armies soon.
>>93242804Miracles. Don't talk to no scientist. Those mother fucker's lying, making me pissed.
>>93242813Am I wrong for not trusting doctors.
>>93242768Wasn't there something along the lines of a 'trade' with Judge Dredd what with the Land Speeder and the bikes
>>93242792>world war 2 motorcyclesAside from the fact that space marine bikes had two wheels and a headlight, they look nothing like any of the ww2 motorcycles
Landspeeders got hate but they arent meant to fit marines in the back like people thought for somereason. That little door is clearly for storage/engine access.I always imagined landspeeders being used to transport important things or repairs to the front quickly.Imagine a 2 seater speeder with big trunk space and its a mechanic unit that heals wounds off of vehicles its near. That would be fucking sick.
>>93242820>>93242813>>93242804Alright we get it, you were alive in 2012. Are you guys done now?
>Opponent shows up with an almost fully painted army but just have to ruin it with that ONE unpainted unit.
>>93242833How about that big fucking lamplight at the front anon? And the exposed exhausts. Its not the exact same but it has elements that make it have that old look.Lots of 40k used to be ww2 inspired especially the vehicles. Its more its own thing now.
>>93242840Can I haz cheezburger anon?
>>93242840sorry zoomer you want to scream about liminal spaces and skibidi biden instead?
>>93242849>How about that big fucking lamplight at the front anonIf you knew how to read youd see I mentioned the headlight already.>And the exposed exhaustsNow you're just describing any motorcycle from any era, are you retarded

There are also daemons which owe nothing to these Chaos Powers, and whose excistence reflects the waking dreams of a still immature Power.

>>93242835Who the fuck thought those little doors is for passengers?!There's a whole separate speeder for passengers, the one the scouts use.God, i wish GW just did a proper upscaled version of these ones instead of squatting them and leaving the godawful primaris ones in their place.
>>93242914that's right, these are quar streets now
>>93242907They're so edgey they're funny. They really are the SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG of the warhammer world.
>>93241263>Neurotyrant is an offshoot of Zoanthrope but has no link to the Tyrant offshoot further up the tree.Nope. Dont like it.
>>93242872Nice!
>>93242916I think with a modern paintjob this model would look insanely good. Gw wasnt paiting to well in that era.
>>93242896>paint the eye sockets blackmistake>add two white dotsmistake
>>93242930I always see the nightlords as the pirate legion. The red corsairs being the Renegade faction. Like the differences between veteran navy men vs cartel drug runners.
>>93242930I don't even find NL funny.To be funny there should be a joke.
>>93243012Corsairs are just chaos marines, not renegades.
New thread when?
Pick my next army. No hordes.
>>93243039Imperial Knights
>>93243039Necrons. Ignore infantry, go for monoliths and c'tan.

>>93243039Tau tankline army.
>>93243039Heavily converted and freehanded Legion of The Dead.
>>93243020But they accept anyone in no matter what. The only other group that does that is the black legion and they're just driven to kill the Imperium
what was the first model you ever converted / kitbashed, /40kg/?
>>93243039Custodes.
>>93242455I'm in the same position. Do I sell my resin bits on Ebay or do I keep them for later usage.Pic related from Anvil shows that they're pretty good for the new scale Cadian bodies.VictoriaMiniatures remastered one of its guard lines too. Hopefully the rest of the guard regiments Victoria offers will get remastered too.
>>93243039Biel-tan eldar. Just aspect warriors and wraiths plus vehicles.
>>93243081>But they accept anyone in no matter whatCSM don't care where you come from as long as you can benefit their warband.

Hey you, Autarch. You get to make the new Eldar Combat Patrol. It has to roughly be 1 HQ and 3 units. Some give or take based on unit price.What do?
>>93243225Warp Spiders so they get new minis, please GW for the love of god.
>>93243202Pride month is over, Lust month started
>>93243229If this was made today they'd be standing on a square three times as tall as the model itself
>>93243241In terms of warp spiders, more likely emerging from a portal.
>>93243246The warp is overtaking me!
>>93241906>>93242145FUCK YES AMERICAGOD BLESS MURICAYEAAAAH
If I play Guardsmen can I theme their outfits pretty much however I want or is there specific rulesets for the jungle/russian cossack/ww1 german aesthetic ones?
>>93243225>Combat Patrol was meant to be an easy intro to 40K. 500 points in the box so you can build and play as quickly as possible>GW progressively fucks this up so many are sub500 points Remind me again why they ditched the start collecting boxes?
>>93241906>>93242145Go away, Gamza
>>93243260>Remind me again why they ditched the start collecting boxes?The deal was too good and GW doesn't want their loss leaders to be an actual value.
>>93243260Well they already made the start collecting boxes more expensive a few times, then they switched to a bigger more expensive format to warm people up to the new price, then they hiked those a few times, now they remove stuff from those boxes to basically make them SC! again but they keep the new pricesIt's genius
>>93243260Combat patrol as an intro to 40k works regardless of if it's 500pts or not.
So I just turn 30 and I’m starting Astra Militarum project. Gotta man up u know?Obviously fuck nu-hammer, I’m buying old metals. I’m rich so no problem. I also know good recasters. Which of these three is cooler?- Vostroyan.- Praetorian.- Steel Legion.
>>93243276It's about as effective as selling a blind man a pair of glasses.
>>93243276>minimum size is 500pts >the boxes aren’t 500pts I never got this as it was marketed as a straight use box but many are illegal lists or below the minimum points needed. The idea was a hook to get new players as an easy route in. >>93243270>GW fails to understand what a loss leader is It’s sad looking through those boxes they were great as an intro to the hobby. 45 quid from your LGS to see if you liked the faction and a few units to start building. The Guard one with the Commisar, Guardsmen and a russ was genuinely great. You could buy 3 and still field a valid army.
Forgive my lorelet question but did the Eldar invent chainswords prior to humanity? Why the fuck are striking scorpions running around with one of the imperium's most iconic weapons?
>>93243039Mentor Legion but use Deathwatch rules to represent them.
Asking again. What are some cool, lesser seen chapters that would be neat to see in a tyrannic war campaign?
>>93243293Yes they did, millions of years before probably.Every faction should have chainswords.
>>93243293Yes they did and eldar version is more advanced - it's powered by a fusion cell instead of an ICE and the teeth are made from a better material.
>wanna drill some barrels, bro?
>>93243297the white templar's chapter world of sanctum was caught right in the middle of the 4th tyrannic warthe chapter was mostly away during the invasion but a campaign could involve their return in mass to strike back at the tyranids
>>93243067Ive seen it with scions and it looked great. We need more vehicles with models all over them.
>>93243300>>93243303Interesting. I'm thinking the Eldar should consider getting their legal department to send cease and desist letters.
>>93243317They honestly weren't that bad to drill out.
>>93243317Are those not drilled?Just painted with black?
>>93243281>30 years old>hates nuhammer>still calls them Astra MilitarumSus.
>>93243100i think it looks alright anon, fuck these two haters
>>93243332I did it once, that was enough for me
>>93243281>I'm actually very rich and cool
>>93243297Iron lords? Their thing is containing a highly aggressive xenos species, the barghesi, in a small star cluster. As part of that containment they have fought splinters of Kraken to prevent the barghesi from being subsumed by the tyranids.
>>93243229Im stockholm syndromed. I cant see a world gw pulls off a new spoder sculpt. Its gonna have a massive flaw like no mechanical arms, or a tiny one handed gun, or zero detail on the backpack like the autarchs jump pack or worse, just being guardian helmets but a bit smoother (theyve done this with warlocks already) OR incredibly shit poses.I am probably just mental.
>>93243281get vostroyans
>>93243348It's more likely than you think!
>>93243350Has anyone done a good helmet swap with these yet. Not smooth reaver ones either?
>>93243241Plinths have always been a part of display level painting you summerfag secondary

>>93241263considering the few canon trees we have>>93241337>>93241293it would seem like the carnifex genus is a split from the warrior genus and that the 'hybrids families' of various thropes and vores split from a separate lineas for the problem between older models and newer models, I'd invoke convergence on that:put yourself in the pants on the hive mind, you've got an idea for a bioplasmic artillery, you perform early tests with the cannon biomorph on something easy to develop, like an overgrown ripper worm, and that's our old slug exocrine, then you see it works and decide to cement the biomorph into a more tried and tested bodyframe, the carnifex genus, perhaps with some influences from early biovore artillery, and there we have the modern exocrinethese would both be exocrines, due to the cannon, but they would sit in parallel on very separate branches similar discussion I'd make for the zoanthrope, back in 2nd edition the zoanthrope was a modified warrior with augmented psychic capabilities, later on in 3rd edition it got its atrophied bodytype and the speculative connection with eldar hybridation, in this case I'd put the zoanthrope twice on the tree, one stemming from the warrior genus and one stemming instead from the "hybrid branch"
>>93243394at least this one looks cute.
>>93243412Not as cute as you though
>>93243374Do lasguns have a barrel? Wouldn't it be a solid lens in the muzzle
>>93243289>but many are illegal lists or below the minimum points needed.Combat patrol has its own modified ruleset, bud.
>>93243417That's actually a good point. You're probably right.>tfw laziness pays off yet again
>>93243398My Gf bought me one by mistake, she wanted to get me some 40K and just saw the Warhammer logo >>93243421Even so some aren’t even 300pts which is mind boggling when the game is meant to be 500minimum.
>>93243417I could imagine admech manufacturing their lasgun patterns with a barrel because of some dogmatic belief that "a gun must have a barrel or else the machine spirits will be offended."

When kitbashing/converting, is it easier to build models as intended first and slap it with ye ol' hobby saw or start from a blank slate? Imperial Guard if it matters
I'm creeping closer to 1000 points.
>>93243593What is the connection/difference between the broodlord and a Patriarch?
>>93243606
>>93243583The pose looks a little awkward, but that's just how the metal models were. The mask and the trident would have been nice to see retained in her latter designs. The trident specifically feels like a gladiatorial weapon, so as a visual element it conveys something about her character. But I suppose that might be too close to overlapping with Jain Zar's loadout.
>>93243593When did Jeb! Become a Tyranid?
>>93243610I might be wrong but I think the key difference is broodlords are under direct control and patriarchs are removed from that and are acting as the Hive Mind. Also age.
>>93243610a patriarch is a normal genestealer that grows in physical and psychic power and influence as a result of creating a cult of hybrids and infecteda broodlord is created specifically for the role of leading genestealers during a planetary assault, it's a war leaderwe don't know if a normal genestealer can grow into a broodlord, but in any case it's not a result of creating a cultwe don't even know if a broodlord can create a cult
>>93243641Since a Broodlord is effectively just a name for a big genestealer, it would presumably be able to create a cult if it had the opportunity to do so. Then it'd become a patriarch, same as a regular genestealer, except maybe a bit faster since it's already large and has synapse capabilities.
Why would anyone choose to play an inferior chapter? I just don't get it

>>93243656I dunno man, blood angel fans are just not right in the head.
>>93243658
>>93243599Depends on the model. Mono-pose models are sometimes easier to convert after building at least a few parts together due to how stupidly awkward many of the parts are.Otherwise blank slate is good.

Which Ork CP has the best value. The New or Old one with the copters and ork mmm boys
How do I git gud at greenstuff armor? I want to cover up my bullgryn's naked arms and make him look like a fortress
>>93243739Depends on how much you like beast snaggas. The old one also has the shitty monopose boyz kit.
>>93243747New box is actually pretty awesome if you're 1 of 5 people in the world who likes beastsnaggas
>>93243747Well not a fan of Beast Snagga cause to me they look off theme, The monopause If i can get from Ork bits I'll turn into Flash Gitz, Loota's or Nob squads. I got that CP before and that Ork box with the Stompa so I'd have at least 4 copies of each monopose. ONly thing that crossed my mind is that there is a hobby shop that has 1 box of the old CP left and I was just wondering.
>>93243593
>>93243741your easiest solution is painting the arm as it it's covered in a skintight suit and then using the pauldron of the normal ogryn onto the weapon arm of the bullgrynthey'll not be fully armoured, but they will look more armoured

>>93243835>Put them on the same sized baseStill not the same size and rest of your post is just cope for shitty behaviour.I don't care how "thematic" it is for you army, it's still modeling for advantage.

>>93243881Exactly! It's like when people used to equip relics to models but didn't create weapons on those models that reflected the description exactly. Like hello?! I'm calling the judge
>>93243883Tzeentch gets normal paint, but people just assume it's actually something weird
>>93243871Despite constant streams of bitch tears about muh tourneyfags and GW catering to them with all the rules this must require, GW doesn't provide rules on fundamental shit like this. You can do what you like.
>>93241241As someone who was just about to 1k orks, sorts mad about the +10 pts per meganob because some troglydite went to heavy on them on a tournament. Should have been no points increase, just wreck the broken bully boys thing since that was what WA cussing the problem.But at this point I'd take -5 points per model, at least then my list would fit again. Stupid GW
>>93243883bird poop
>>93243883Tzeentch gets two part epoxy with an indeterminate cure time
>>93243681Better to be deranged than like most people
>>93243884>his faction doesn't have bits for all the special upgradesgrim!
>>93243864I like my Orks how I like my women.
>>93243789>Army that represents every human military from illiterate backwater savages to high tech drop troops have cavalryWhat a surprise
>>93243898do black templars get rules for those shotguns?
>>93243898Where is your Warship model?
>>93243884>Exactly! It's like when people used to equip relics to models but didn't create weapons on those models that reflected the description exactly. Like hello?! I'm calling the judgeYes, you should.Fuck you, either put accurate and right weapons on your miniature and it's good.And no, a bolter is not the same as a plasmagun or viceversa.
>>93243908In space
>>93243899thin your paints.
>>93243908>Where is your Warship model?I'm at the model.I just punch the table and imagine it is an orbital strike.
>>93243898Does GW really never paint eyebrows? Do all Space Marines shave their eyebrows off? Is that a codex mandated rule or something:• You can only have approx 1000 men at arms• They must be divided into 10 company's of 100 men• They will be split across ten to twenty squads, each numbering five or ten warriors, depending on their tactical focus• All Brother Marines must shave their eyebrows off. No exceptions.
>>93243907Apparently not anymore, it's just "Neophyte firearm" now
>>93243911>Description is a yellow weapon>Model is redLol I don't think so, judge, one moment time
>>93243904>Army that represents every human military from illiterate backwater savages to high tech drop troops>oops all cadians
>>93243881Some examples of the waacfags? All I see is one castellan conversion being shitted on, and I'm not sure if that counts but Waacfags tend to be anti-proxy so maybe.
>>93243915>>93243899I wouldn't recommend thinning contrast paints.
>>93243789not a surprise at all considering the historical bent to the IG. what I always wondered about was why they went with a mongol theme rather than napolenoic
>>93243927>Not converting your models to make your own regimentEmbarassing!
>>93243938Man I ordered a bunch of these frogs from the Perrys and they just never sent them
>>93243932I would.Thinned contrast is great for tinting and shading
>>93243899Clean that mold line.
>oh yeah that happened
>>93243864There does seem to be less of a stress on the different clans being all part of one army these days from GW's side, each doing their own wee specialist roles on the battlefield. When did this change?
>>93243952>that happened and I bought it
>>93243948Aye, but not for base coats like the other anon was suggesting. You'd only want to do that if blasting it out an airbrush.
>>93243951No. I'm going to leave it there forever anon, just to annoy you specifically. I will never tidy that mold line. It will always look like that.
>>93243524>nulore gay shit by BrooksIgnored
>>93243955That shit got me hype. Sometimes we even had popcorn
>>93243524I just wish her model wasn't ugly as sin, shes an Eldar, not a bloody human olympic shot-putt womans champion.
Are there any authors you guys don't hate?
>>93243978Andy Chambers
>>93243978Adrian Tchaikovsky>>93243985Old Andy Chambers, anyway. Everything he has written since leaving GW is tripe.
>>93243978Dan Abnett when he's writing Guard books
If he's not on this chart he's potentially alright
>>93243978I like books, not authors.
>>93243998Imagine being autistic enough to keep this but not autistic enough to keep it up to date
>>93243978I suppose Dav Pilkey is pretty good.
>>93243998>checking if a target is a fag or not when setting up a honey trapThat's bad?
>>93244013I think we got the point without another 5 mike brooks entries
>>93243991>Old Andy Chambers, anyway. Everything he has written since leaving GW is tripe.What's he doing now?
>>93243978I've enjoyed the Cain books, so Sandy Mitchell.
>>93244024Well, he was the lead writer for StarCraft 2. Now he just works on Blood Red Skies, I think.
>>93244043>he was the lead writer for StarCraft 2He should have killed himself
>>93241940I’ve only had it die in one game after being attacked by beast snaggas in melee for 3 turns while it kept blasting meganobs. The casino rolls for damage can be super rough but 1d6+6 blast, strength 14-16 depending on what I’m shooting at, ap-3, damage d6. It’s pretty fucking fun to throw around. And that’s before the lascannons and pintle multimelta join the party.
>>93244043>>93244053truly nothing is sacred
>>93244017For these people yes. Anything that portrays a character that isn’t a straight dude work effectively sexless is clearly someone inserting their politics into the book. Not the author just trying to future proof a bit.
>>93243899heavily contrasted? what contrast did you use for the copper bits and the skin?
>>93243978I liked the Shira Calpurnia series, so I guess Matthew Farrer.
>>93243954only got back into the hobby (and orks) at the start of the year so im not sure, ive seen screenshots from old editions where kulturs were given certain abilities, cant remember if they were strong or not
>>93244063clearly the other side made that chart lolJust happens to be useful for us too.Go away with your propaganda.
>>93244053It's not quite as bad as that anon was suggesting - he was one of two lead writers on WoL alongside Brian Kindregan and wasn't involved at all with HotS or LotV.Still, it really activates my almonds that he was involved in two (2) sequels to sci-fi RTSes that abandoned their previous good writing to dive into retarded space prophecy - he was also a writer and designer on Homeworld 2.
>>93244053In fairness, I think he only wrote Wings of Liberty. Which was the least egregious of the expansions even if it was still full of retcons. It's the only one he's credited for at least, though he probably set the groundwork for the rest of the game too.
>>93244077Well, two of the things he is most known for in 40k is the total rewrite and retcon of the Dark Eldar and wanting to redesign 40k into an alternating activations game when designing 4th edition but getting told no.So it sounds like retcons are kind of his specialty, even if the 40k ones seem like good ideas in retrospect.
>>93244077>>93244078WoL was trash. It had just been so long since we had any StarCraft content that people (myself included) gobbled it up and jerked off to nostalgia of SC and the music sounding like Firefly.Jimmy being lovesick for someone he swore he would hunt down and kill (sorry Fenix, you're forgotten), Mengst being incompetent, XelNaga are...le bad!, and the rest of the capeshit tier tropes....was a hot mess.
>>93244094>total rewrite and retcon of the Dark Eldarwasn't that Phil Kelly(and I guess Jes Goodwin for the visuals)
>>93244094>total rewrite and retcon of the Dark Eldar got more info about this?
>>93243978Josh Reynolds
>>93243938Napoleonic astthetics fucking sucks
>>93243978Graham McNeillBen CounterSandy Mitchell
>>93244064The skins mantis warrior contrast. I've forgot what the weapon was, leadbelcher I think, with probably a flesh-tone wash on-top for the brassy bits.
>>93243978He was more of a WHFB author, but Bill King.>>93244104WoL was bad, but still better than what followed. It might even have been better than Brood War, which was the start of everyone other than Kerrigan being written as absolutely braindead to let Metzen's waifu have her win.
>>93244122>Josh ReynoldsHe sounds like a fag and his shit's all retarded
>>932438450/10 trollRegardless with tournament terrain there is no playable difference
>>93244094aw man we coulda had alternate activations?

If Orks are supposed to the 40K's comic relief faction, why the hell do they remain so cool?
>>93244134>supped
>>93244143because everyone wishes they could have as much fun as an ork
>>93244143because the fun they have is not exclusively at their expense
>>93244134Cope!
>>93244143There's a certain respect to being the designated cannon fodder NPC army.
>>93244154I don't respect marines at all.
>>93244163your joke doesn't work on any level
Speaking of Orks, is there a decent scan of the Ork Codex in English yet, including all the lore pages? I know there's one in French done nicely, but unfortunately my knowledge of French extends to about as far as me saying "je ne pas parle Francais" in my lovely glaswegian accent, which is usually unintelligible to actual French people unfortunately. Also its probably wrong, and has the wrong "genders" or some shit.
>>93244173i would scan it myself but my scanner is broken, and couldnt be fucked doing it, sorry haggisbro
>>93244143sisters of battle is the comic relief faction, no one could actually ever believe women would be capable of fighting

What is a "Digga Stompa"?
>>93244240stompa that digs
>>93244240Stompa made by digganobs?
>>93244208Sorry anon, I'm mildly autistic and and simply don't understand why point people are trying to make when they replay with reaction gifs of someone making strange expressions. It doesn't mean anything to me, that's just "man having a medical issue" in my head I'm afraid, but I suspect that was not the intent which you were intending to convey.
>>93244240digga that stomps
>>93244240Think this, but not as cool.
>>93244240Looted Knight
>>93244104I was so pumped when SC2 was about to come out. I thought they might actually do something with the Xel'Naga storyline... maybe have the Zerg-toss hybrids be a fourth race that was mechanically different from the rock paper scissors they had going...
Keep up the good work piggies!
>>93244240Either a Stompa that digs, or it means Digga owned Stompa.Depends if this a thing for Gorkamorka or not.Since Diggas are tribal humans that descend from a Imperial expedition that got marooned on Angelus aka Gorkamorka like 5000 years ago.Diggas are specifically descendants of the people who were exploring the necron tombs underground, and when the cataclysm hit they all got buried and trapped underground into the tombs and couldn't find their way out of the labyrinthine tomb complexes.But then some off 5000 years later then re-emerged from them.The tribal humans then saw and came into contact with orks, and seeing all the bright colors and how much the orks were having they started to emulate orks in every way possible.They also trade with orks for tech and whatever.
>>93244251probably this
>>93244287What currency is "P"?

>>93244360her ears are ugly and wobbly
how come there's no warp daemon born of humanity's worship of the emperor? or collective anguish when he died? etcwhy are only eldar cool enough to spawn a god
>>93242075I hadn't forgotten them, but it's true I didn't provide for a path for them to be in their own split off the root organism like they would be. That will be amended.>>93242955This is another thing I'd debated over, I initially considered having a "Convergent design" link between the Neurotyrant and the regular Tyrant, but I'm not sold on it. So far I've established those links between species which exhibit physical traits that are unique to the rest of their branch but not to those in another branch or family - the feeding tendrils, mantis claws, etc. shared between the Lictor and Von Ryan's Leaper, the enlarged cranium and psychic capabilities shared between the Neurolictor and the Zoanthrope. But the Neurotyrant doesn't have any characteristics of the Tyrant - it's just a more psychically potent Zoanthrope.>>93243410I would love to see a model evolution tree that tackles this but I am going to try and stick to the current 'canon' of model appearances and the taxonomy they imply. That said, convergent design as you said is an opportunity to link the callbacks to old models where they happen. You can rest assured there will be a link tying between Zoanthrope and the Maleceptor, as the latter as more than a few nods to the 2e Zoanthrope design.>>93243463You sold me on this, it's obvious enough that I feel silly for the oversight. Synapse arising in a branch which didn't have any synapse at the root won't be unusual but I do think it's something that doesn't wholly belong in the gaunt tree (unless I wanted to put in some branches addressing the mutable genus conversions from 3rd), but having the Parasite as a Shrike offshoot feels much more natural. I've also pulled the trigger on having Nightgaunts spinning off Gargoyles, as if memory serves that was actually a conversion featured in the 3rd edition codex's hobby section (sticking hormagaunt talons on a gargoyle).Might be a day or two before I have time to smash out the Carnifex family.
>>93244401Its implied that thats the path Humanity is going down, the Emperors not really dead/dead all along so there was no *moment* of loss or collective anguish. >how come there's no warp daemon born of humanity's worship of the emperor? In the last few HH novels its implied thats exactly what the Dark King is and the Emperor prevented its birth by denying it (the worship of him happens after his death but its the warp so time is non linear). Or im wrong and GW is building towards a God Emperor warp Power/Chaos god that is seperate from the Emperors corpse on the golden throne
>>93244401>how come there's no warp daemon born of humanity's worship of the emperor?What is Imperius and the Fire Angels? What is the Emperor Angelic?
>>93244360I always thought eldar sclera were black.
>>93244436Eldar have been too humanised. We need a return to crystal poop
>>93244390Macha, are Eldar gaelic and scots/Irish based in mythology then?
>>93244436eldar look like whatever the artist feels like at the time but mostly they're just elves in space
>>93244393>>93244360Yeah that shits a bit not great. she looks like Dobby.
>>93244436>>93244444The Wrath and Glory RPG says that Aeldari eyes have no pupils or irises. They are blank black, red, or whatever other colour.
>>93244436Depends how much you beat on the filthy Xenos Brother.
>>93244401First who sayed it didn't? Second the worship of the emporer is so weak in comparison to the aspects the other chaos gods represent that we may never know if there is such a god or not. There is also that the emporer himsels nearly became a chaos god and that at this poin all those worshipping chaos powers go into keeping him alive and manifesting miracles like living saint. There are dozens of minor chaos gods nobody knows becaus they are to weak get born and die, or those like mork and gork that are rumored but nobody knows if they really exist.
>>93244443In part. There's a lot of inspiration there, similar to how Dark Angels are both native american and arthurian knights>>93244444Sick digits
>>93244444Please stop posting this, it makes Eldar look childish. : ( A little bit of my soul leaves me every time I see it.
>>93244466Never
>>93244443The Howling Banshees and Craftworld Saim-hann weren't a hint?They're Japanese-Greek-Celtic, with hints of whichever other ancient civilisation works best for a given Craftworld or unit, such as Ulthwé's Wadjet. Much like the Tau are Pajeets under the Ethereal Raj with a melange of Chinese and Japanese elements on top, there doesn't just need to be a single inspiration.
>>93244454>The Wrath and Glory RPGNot canon and doesn't matter.
>>93244348And you've made it worse by adding worst faction in the game
>>93244467did yer man cut his hair with a hedgetrimmer?!
>>93244484>Eldar are FrenchThis boils my English blood
>>93244421>model evolution treeIt at least used to be that all the models were canon, just representing different evolutions of creatures.
>>93244484Look at 3rd/4th ed eldar art.
>>93244425idk, i'm a lorelet. but thank you for the breadcrumbs>>93244422>>93244463ty, that's interesting. I think it could be a cool direction to go in, the living saint thing and the sanguinor are very fucking cool

Every time GW releases a "balance update" or what have you, you need to kill a GW employee. Keep doing this until GW gets the idea that maybe it'd be best if you could play their game right out of the book instead of having to have a million little updates and pdfs
>>93244602You are free to play editions where you didn't get a codex or any changes for 2 years anon! You can fuck off back there
>>93244577>"Actually, gorillas mostly engage in threat behavior"Threats are empty if you can't back it up.But gorillas can and will back it up if you push it.
>>93244617You can stop being a waacfag, maybe? And stop treating an inherently narrative hobby as a competitive vidya-style game? Maybe kill yourself too, because you're a richfag whale?
ELDAR SLUTSWITH BIG BUTTS
>>9324463410th edition is the best edition of 40k, because it's the most current. And when 11th edition releases, it will be the best, because it will be the most current. You will have to relearn the game due to faqs every few months, your faction will get a codex only a month before it's invalidated by a new edition dropping, and YOU WILL LIKE IT.

>>93243524She'll kill her the second she becomes weak. I assume all dark relationships are like that. Shit tests with whatever emotion they have left to give. Now if she was dating a craftworlder or harlequin or a human then I'd call special snowflake bullshit.Side note, what is with all these characters having romances? Chaos marines, dark eldar, named Guardsman. Are their female shadow riders that have the staff by the balls?
