Getting a 3D printer and table set up soon. Gonna start with the guard.

Should I go with STL models that are more in line with the new scale of Imperial Guardsmen or stick to chunky heroic scale?

Anything where you are trying to make the models good. I'm sick of hobby culture focusing on doing minis fast. FLGS players brag about their speedhacks. Youtube flooded with FAST FAST FAST paaintjobs. Such a huge chunk of people in this hobby treat the painting like its a chore to be gotten over with. Makes me sad. I'm not an award winning painter but I always try to push to try new things and improve between projects.

I wasn’t a fan when the edition started but I’ve really been enjoying fully mechanized marines.

Without speed painting you'd just have people who paint and then an endless grey tide. Even a hastily painted army on the board looks better than half-assembled plastic.

I know. What makes me sad is there are people in the hobby that would be (or are) fielding permagrey armies. They have no passion for doing 50% of the hobby. Changes the whole vibe. Seeing an army painted out of spite lets me know I'm dealing with somebody who will probably throw their minis on ebay the second the meta changes.

Eldar will always be strong, but will always have decades old models, sisters are pretty strong right now, i've never seen votann irl.

Guard just got fucked over again by the codex release schedule. Half of my game is shuffling units in and out of various transports. Every game starts with my Impulsor shuffle and my Repulsor zooming up the board to bait someone into shooting it and getting my eradicators in their face.

>>93248278
Go with new scale. Most 3D stl makers try for a more realistic heroic scale proportion over the previous Cadians chunky heroic scale. And I think inevitably most will try to make their future models look more in line proportionally with the new Cadians anyways. There is still charm to be found with chunky heroic scale though.

There will never be 5 major Chaos gods/ warp Power, despite the colour wheel of the four implying a fifth yellow themed chaos god.
So do we have hope that the 4 minor chaos gods pictured here for HH will be expanded upon. Vashtorr is getting a lot of focus in the narrative but as other anons have pointed out being model cucked like Be'lakor means he is most likely destined to always be very minor.
Malal/Malice seems like a never ever, the Sons of Malce seems like an easter egg and not foreshadowing for a whole new chaos demigod.
The other two are speculated to be pretty random characters as opposed to brand new characters, from the Horned Rat or the Emperor/Horus or Abaddon, to fucking Morgur as the chaos god of mutation. But since Beastmen have been exiled to warhammer the old world I don't think anything new or interesting will ever happen to them in AoS or 40k. What do you anons think will we get a new chaos lord/god character or retreading of old characters or nothing at all

Honestly it would make more sense for the Harlequins to swap genders like swapping roles. That seems thematically consistent with the masques. Note that it only mentions gender and not sex change, so the idea that their videos are changed more than superfluously is reading more into it than it actually says.

On regular skitarii, did you do the cloth on their legs in straight red on both legs, or was the right leg yellow to match the cloak?

If you did flat red, I'd say do that for the normal sicarians - basically just keeping to the default Mars scheme as it happens. But give the ruststalker alpha the alternating halves scheme on their cloak.

Otherwise, uh maybe - binary split from the groin through the stomach, then use the pec plates as a separation and a color flip. For the infiltrators I'd probably once again clip the binary colors, but maybe just give the ruststalkers black leather masks.
>>
>>93249311
you ain't kidding
>>
>>93249391
I did both legs red since the only vid I could find of anybody painting that scheme did it that way and it made more sense then having matching pantlegs to the sides of the robes instead of alternating like the arms
the alpha's getting the standard robes yeah, I just am at a loss for what to do with the troops since they don't really have much in the way of sleeves/pants
was feeling giving their bodies more of the yellow and the dome heads the red and then a ruddy redbrown for the masks on the other two

Why don't Chaos Space Marines field Scouts? Seems like low/no Chaos groups like Iron Warriors or Night Lords should probably field them.
>>
>>93249830
Aren't scouts like a post-heresy thing? Like the Chaos Legions don't use them because they didn't exist at the time they went traitor, no?
I'm a complete space marine lorelet, forgive me
>>
>>93249830
Because they have cultists
>>
>>93249830
>low/no chaos groups like IW or NL
not a thing, they're chaos slaves like all the rest
they don't field scouts because CSM can't actively enhance humans through the normal marine procedures nor produce the armor, so they either get willing/forceful converts of existing marines and rely on millions of cultists instead
>>
>>93249830
>>93249835
Scouts are for initiates before the black carapace. Once the geneseed is corrupted you are no longer making new marines to spend time as scouts.
In theory IW and NL should still have scouts and no possesed but it would be confusing for the codex

>>93249839
>>93249845
>>93249847
And what, CSM just decide it's not right to put partially modified people into the battlefield all of a sudden? They should have a scout-equivalent of recruits selected trying to prove themselves, seems like a no-brainer. And cultists wouldn't be the same thing.
>>
>>93249830
Scouts are a fucking waste why would you risk your precious, new astartes, that are made in a long drawn out process go into combat with no armour. CSM are smarter than SM who are slaves to tradition
>>
>>93249872
they don't have the ability to elevate humans into marines even partially lorelet
you're asking for normal humans to be put in a spiky scout uniform and call that a chaos scout
>>
>>93249880
why would you let somebody so incompetent they can't survive without the armor wear the armor
>>
>>93249880
Scouts don't go into combat. They're literal scouts, assassins and saboteurs.
>>
>>93249882
I did specify low/no-Chaos groups like Iron Warriors and Night Lords.
>>
>>93249892
>low/no-Chaos groups like Iron Warriors and Night Lords.
not a thing
they're chaos slaves all
you don't sit in the warp for 10k years and not get corrupted, they're just like abaddon and think they're uncorrupted and of free will but they're as bitchmade as all other CSM
>>
>>93249892
GW is to lazy to implement this distinction into the codex so it only exists in the lore
>>
>>93249872
My dude chaos has different problems. If you thought the imperium has bad geneseed levels you need to look at the legions.
To make an astartes you need geneseed. You can't just replenish them like the loyalists you have to GO GET THEM and once you got the geneseed installed, because of chaos corruption, that geneseed is officially shot. and that's IF the abominator know what he's doing and the procedure is a success.

It's way easier to tempt already successful loyalists to chaos than actually make a space marine.

Stopped reading. Doesn't matter what you think they should have. They've got cultists if you want smaller ebil guys, they've got marines if you want big ones. Doesn't matter what autistic asspull logic you throw out as to why they need scouts because they don't have scouts
>>
>>93249880
>>
>>93249899
And you call other people lorelet?
>>
>>93249913
yeah faggot the paragraph in the codex saying they're super duper independent really trumps their official upgrade sprues featuring them brandishing chaos worship out the ass
>>
>>93249891
Anon being a scout means avoiding fights but you will get into one at some point, its not the aim but you're on the battlefeild, you will stumble upon, be stumbled upon by enemies at some point leading to an unplanned firefight
>>93249889
>>93249908
IF you know they can fight like a marine why would you let them get injured or killed by things theyd be immune to if they had the armour, its a waste. I'm assuming the weak/unlucky are weeded out earlier than near the end of the astartes project
>>
>>93249918

>>
>>93249927

it should be noted that unlike the tabletop (where scouts are treated as disposable meatshield/screans), scouts in lore are usually on low risk (by astartes standards) missions doing either recon or long range sniping.
>>
>>93249931
>minimal
because IW are autistic spergs like (you) except they're pragmatic and don't adorn their shit needlessly
>>93249936
you're right they just released that night lords sprue and purposefully gave them specific chaos banners and icons but they're totally not chaos worshippers I swear bro

>>93249927

The post 8th 40k fan is really too stupid to understand that the chaos corrupted astartes who tell themselves they're above it all and totally independent are deluded huh?

>>
>>93249964
They just desperately need to have their own special chaos marines who are so strong of will and awesome that they're able to resist the corrupting force of chaos for millennia
>>
>>93249988
you just described like 4 or 5 loyalist space marine chapters.
>>
>>93249949
>Because the final product has to be the best of the best
4 random men with guns can do whatever a single astartes can do. The whole idea of are genetically suitable candidates is itself self deafting, youd want any random person with the shittest genetics to be able to become astartes so you can throw gene enchanced bio-warriors in power armour at all your problems.
Astartes aren't even the best of the best or get the most gene enhancement, thats Custodies and the Imperial Assassins

>>93249992

If space marines were fluff-accurate a single model would be like 100 points. Even a single company would be overkill to conquer an entire planet.

Grey Knights are like, slightly better Marines and that's it.
I told you last time and you failed to provide any rebuttal. Just open the lore cinematic for 10th trailer, it has things like Winged Prime ripping apart a terminator with just a bit of effort & elbow grease and in general throughout the video Marines and Nids trade fair blows (as it should be). You likely won't find a more non-codex first party thing portraying marine power level than this.
>>
>>93250063
grey knights are the jobbers
they had to sacrifice their entire veteran company just to banish angron for a millennium
>>
>>93250081
that's not portraying power level, that's setting the narrative of the cinematic which is the imperium taking minor victories and suffering constant heavy losses

That's an entirely different matter. We're not discussing percent ratios of population, we're discussing pure 1 to 1 powerlevel. A nob, a tyranid warrior, an immortal, a rak'gol raider, etc etc etc all have very solid chances of killing a single space marine.

Different people get different things from the hobby. Some people really enjoy painting, other people do not and enjoy the modeling aspect more, and other people enjoy the playing aspect more. They're all legitimate. Painting to the level most people consider "standard" (what you see on youtubers and shit) takes hours upon hours of practice and a single model can easily go into the 20+ hours of painting. That's simply not feasible if your aim is to play the game and you have 56 models to paint.

a friend that does oil painting and stuff told me a trick that i think it's pretty neat, when you want to do something darker don't just go down in value, also go either lighter or warmer, and then when you want to do something lighter do the opposite (so if your shadows are warm your highlights are colder and vice versa). helps a ton with contrast.

Non-argument. Your claim was

not

You don't need to portray narration from someone's POV to portray them well. That's arguably the entire point of Blindsight as a novel, which is quite good at portraying the aliens being alien.
BTW you still don't own painted models.

You only printed the autocannon. Which is fine, 3D printing is awesome for conversion parts. If absolutely sucks for printing full minis. I printed two BFG fleets and an epic 40k army and I wanted to kill myself after. I'd rather buy plastic or cast resin. Fucking hate how brittle print resin is.

you have to understand that a lot of the hate guard get are from (mostly xenos)fags who hate HFY. these are the types that get angry when you gun down their 2000 year old aspect warriors with lasguns fired by a 15 year old conscript.

You can have brown, but you need different shades of brown in your scheme. Give the leather a reddish brown, give the masks more grey. Give the skin a more purple/pink undertone. Highlight your colours so you can make out the parts. Highlight your metal. Paint all the details. Have some spot colours like red or green for things like the mask lenses or lights on the weapons.

Because you'd be correct, that's how most guard armies really are in 40k.
Guardsmen basically never get rotated back ever, as soon as they have won a battle/warzone there is basically no respite or "vacation" it's just straight to the next battlefield where the army is needed.
This also means they only ever get resupplies and new equipment sporadically and lot of it has to be scavenged and lot of it has adhoc repair shit to keep it functional, to dismay of any techpriests, due to lack of parts, equipment or resources, or all 3.

But doing something like this is hard to sell model wise because people prefer and like cohesive armies with 1 certain style to them.
But realistically a guard army is going to be made up of like 4 different regiments, say cadians, krieg, catachan and tallarn, working together because that's all they have and managed to get in terms of resupply, or have been forced to link up with another regiment for extra help and supplies.

Birds and fire a often symbolism of knowledge given by the divine. Fire theft by a god or godlike being stealing the knowledge to making it to humans is universal.
Birds are often wisdom, Pallas Athena is represented by an Owl, Ra the sun god has the head of a falcon etc. Eyes/ a third eye is also used to show insight/ knowledge of a magical/supernatural nature. The real question should be why is his symbol often a fish?

eh, stuff like this is arguable. gaunt's ghost has instances where they get rotated off the frontline, one book even has them getting fat and wanting to get back in the fight
same about lack of equipment. it happens, especially in the middle of a 60 year war but its silly to say oh every regiment is scourging for sticks to fight with.
all the major IG regiments have been depicted as having infantry, armoured, mechanised and even airborne formations, so a cadian army with cadian leman russes and cadian chimeras etc is not abnormal and even how guard is commonly depicted. what you should say that a guard army with a cadian infantry regiment and mordian armoured company and tallarn mechanized company is also very normal, not that that is the ONLY way it should be or it SHOULD be like that.

>>93251830
>Malice barely exists beyond a footnote and a fun reference for grogs and fakegrogs for Malal.
He still exists and is canon.
He and Sons of Malice have never been retconned, latest mention for them was in 8th edition where it said they took part in the 13th black crusade.
>Did you forget about Be'lakor and Vashtorr the two actual chaos minor gods
No, but I specifically didn't mention them because they are not minor chaos gods.
Why?

1. Be'lakor is not a chaos god of any sort, he is a daemon prince, a mortal who attained daemonhood, meaning he is at best a greator daemon in terms of hierarchy.

2. Vashtorr is VERY specifically called a "daemon demi-god", and "demi-god" specifically by definition just means "half-god", also Vashtorr's whole point is that he is trying to ASCEND into a god, if he already was a god he would have zero need to ascend anywhere.
Malice on the other hand has ALWAYS been referred to as a "Minor Chaos God", meaning he is already up there and doesn't need to "ascend" to anywhere.
The reason why he is a "minor god" is because not many mortals worship him, which very specifically due to what Malice represents.
Malice represents pure anarchy and senseless destruction for "just because", mindless destruction of everything with no actual end goal to it.
Which is incredibly rare for humans or any mortal races, because they are always motivated by something.

>1. Be'lakor is not a chaos god of any sort, he is a daemon prince, a mortal who attained daemonhood, meaning he is at best a greator daemon in terms of hierarchy.
Be'lakor is referred to as a power in the Warp. A demigod. Which puts him on the same level as Vashtorr. If you are going to write walls of text would you kindly look up the lore from his codex page first?
Be'lakor has Greater Daemons working under him.

The Malice stuff you are posting seems to be pulled out of your ass. You better work on them sources. Whhere does it say that Malice is a minor Chaos God? He manifested in Real Space which puts a dent in that.
>>
>>93251893
warhammer metaphysics connect the magical energies of metal/alchemy/engineering/industry with the yellow/golden wind and vashtorr's armour has a yellowish tone
while the one related to beasts and the return to primordial nature to orange/amber, plus the beastmen range is very characterised by browns

belakor was a stretch, I have to admit, but his sword and inner energies are light blue
>>
>>93251888
Isn*t it interesting that light blue/white is usually the color psyker powers/weapons are depicted especially from imperium an eldar units?
>>
>>93251917
>Be'lakor is referred to as a power in the Warp. A demigod.
Doesn't matter, he is still just a daemon prince. His whole point is that he is trying to ascend as well, if he already was a god, he wouldn't need to be ascending anywhere.

Also "demi-god" yet again just means he is at best a "half-god", which still means nothing considering the first above thing.

Only minor chaos god that exists in 40k is Malice.
Nevermind that minor chaos gods have always existed in warhammer, even WHF, and guess what?
Neither Vashtorr and Belakor are mentioned to be one ever.
Vashtorr never mentioned (for obvious reasons) and belakor is nothing more than a daemon prince.
While Malal, aka Malice (since GW did the good ol' "it's totally not the same character as before, see we changed the name, just ignore it's still 100% same every other way, even down to the same logo and colorscheme.") was a minor chaos god always.
>>
Shouldn't some Admechians see Vashtorr as the Omnissiah?
>>
>>93251946
I don't see how you can think Vashtorr is not a minor chaos god, he's not a daemon prince he has his own realm within the warp that the other gods cannot tresspass aganist, his own type of daemons etc

>he is still just a daemon prince.
No. He isn't just a daemon prince. He is the most powerful daemon prince. As per the codex, the difference in power between Be'lakor and most daemon princes is the difference they have with their former mortal selves.
Be'lakor has his own sphere of power in the Warp and can mark and bestow blessings on his billions of followers the same as Vashtorr. The term a demigod was used for him and he is compared to Vashtorr as a rival.
Unlike the other daemon princes, Be'lakor stands over Greater Daemons and has a number of them under his command.

And I see no sources for Malice. I guess you don't have any?

I'm literally planning on doing something like this.
An "irregularly uniformed" guard army via third party.
The uniforms are different, but the colours remain the same.
The problem is I can't decide on whether I should stick with the resin third party stories (madrobotminiatures, anvilindustry, Victoria miniatures) previous Cadian scale or go 3D printing mode.

Some do. Vashtorr often leverages this fact to exploit both Admech and Darkmech.

I haven't had my coffee.
I meant stores, and 3D printing mode as in getting models in the new scale of the new Cadians.

We're getting further and further away from people who have seen actual titties in real life, so the cultural perception of women is becoming more and more distorted.

Maybe if they were just selling Terminators, but this was selling an entire starter box and refreshing a comparatively ancient line, so ofc they're going to make the Tyranids look good.

>I don't see how you can think Vashtorr is not a minor chaos god
Because his entire fucking motivation and main character drive is down to the letter to ASCEND INTO GODHOOD.
If Vashtorr was a god of any sort he would not need to be ascending anywhere.
You have to be illiterate to not understand this.

Malice doesn't need to ascend anywhere because he already is a god, that is what he has always been referred to as.
The "minor" moniker has always just meant "not as popular or worshipped as the Big 4 but a full god none the less."

It's like how in real life different cultures had "major" and "minor" gods, which might have even changed depending on what settlement you went to or even on the time period.
Like in Egypt, some gods just were more popular and worshipped than in some towns or time periods.
For example in X city Bast might have been a "major" god due to him being worshipped by many and his cult being in power, but Y city he might just be minor god that gets casual respect because he doesn't have as many dedicated followers and the "major" god is Thoth instead because he has more worshippers.

That's what the difference between Malice and the Big 4 is.
Malice is a minor god because he has very little true followers, which purely due to what he represents as a god.

>He isn't just a daemon prince. He is the most powerful daemon prince
Still a nothing more than a daemon prince, he still is not a god.
If Belakor was one he would not need to "ascend" anywhere.
You can keep coping and try coming up with whatever but it does not change the fact that he is not a god for the very virtue of what his CORE motivation is.

See it doesn't make any moral sense or a greater good kinda deal for the imperium to not allow humans to choose what they want to be or how to be free. The Emperor has done nothing but build space boats to impression the average man to his will, the chaos gods are the natural order of all things and it simply doesn't make sense to me for the reason of the human race not to be impowered and fight against the curse of religion and moral decay of the 40k universe. Chaos space marines are only evil because they were built for war and the warp turns out peoples true nature. Humans who have struggled with being recognized finaly get the freedom they were born to weild when chaos grants them power loosening the Emperor's stupid maddness. IG are slaves and ironically like in real life those who fight for whats RIGHT are branded as bad, f the Imperium chaos needs a book detailing the freedom from cryptocratic society. Workers own their own work, flying birds fly and the Emperor is no better than the extrateressials they hate. It's a part of the setting I hate.

>he still is not a god.
He is a Warp demigod.
You are talking all this shiz about Malice and I am just calling you out for not backing it.
A full-fledged Warp God, minor or major, would not be able to be summoned into real space. This precludes Malice as a god.

Still not a full god like Malice.
Belakor is nothing but a daemon prince, he might be the most powerful one to exist, but he is not a god.
Which is the reason why is eternally seething and angry at the Big 4 because they keep cockblocking him intentionally from ascending.

>>93252031
Neither is Malice

>A full-fledged Warp God, minor or major, would not be able to be summoned into real space.
They can be, only difference is in the vessel that is needed.
You could try summoning Khorne into reality, but have good luck with trying to find a good enough sacrifice to pull that off.
Nevermind that once Khorne comes into real space, it means he is no longer in the Warp, meaning he has no influence within that realm anymore.
This is the reason why you can't summon the Big 4, because they outright refuse to do so and the sacrifice or whatever gifts you'd need to achieve it, is just plain impossible to get.

Malice on the other hand does not have this problem because he is specifically a minor chaos god.
He already has practically no hold or any realm within the Warp due to being a minor one, but also has even less because he has very little followers at all.
It's the reason why you can summon him into real space, it's because he stands to lose nothing and then instead gain everything from doing so.

He is by the virtue of constantly being referred to as one.
Which is a fact.
And him being able to be summoned has no bearing on that.

Anon Vashtorr desite to ascent to godhood = be one of the MAJOR Chaos gods, ie the Four. He doesn;t mean literlaly ascend to minor godhood be he is that innately. GW and us have been using vague terms like that and 'demi-god' to describe him but he is very much a chaos god in his own right.
>If Vashtorr was a god of any sort he would not need to be ascending anywhere
Anon he is more powerful than Malice, we know this because he has more followers than him. Portions of the Dark Mech and Iron Warriors worship him, as do some word bearers and Alpha Legion. I like your Egypt analogy and I think thats the right way to think of it.
If you read Realm of Chaos you'd find great explantions of what minor chaos gods, and some can be very very minor and still be a chaos god/ Warp power.

>>93251974
I don't know enough about them to recognise their symbols or give a take. Other than the surviving three eldar gods are inversions of the other 3 major chaos gods,
>Isha, Nurgle
>Khaine, Khorne
>Cecograch, Tzeentch

Tamiya makes good masking tape for model making. Comes in a variety of widths. Affordable, not too sticky, just sticky enough. Easy to apply. Comes in various sizes.

No, it's to be one of the gods in general.

I do not dislike your models Anon, its just that a mass picture like yours do not show anything properly.
Those Spacenam with Krieg heads (tiny legend?) look pretty cool, and they would deserve a better pic to see some of the details.

Its a great paintjob, however, belt and armor looks too close. So at first glance, this guy looks like wearing leather helmet and leather vest. (which would be just silly).
I agree about the contrast tho.

You fucking idiot, because the Emperor is golden and sits right in that fucking color identity.
