What are your favorite giant robots in 40k?

Riptides like any red blooded virile male
>>
>>93947753
Not really giant robots in the grand scheme of things, but I love dreadnoughts of all kinds. If I had to pick a knight sized robit I'd say the poryphion is prolly my fave big lad. Defs need to paint one some day

Defilers. Love the crab tank robot thing, it's not the biggest or the best rules wise but it's funny.

Also because mine smacked the shit outta my mates sanguinary guard before being killed by dante and it was funny

I just realized the Dawn of War one looks so good because it doesn’t habe that retarded straight whip the miniature has

>>93947866
I like gorthor brown washed with agrax or seraphim sepia. Gives you a dark milk chocolate tone that is shadeable
>>
>>93947881
Yeah, it's a shame because I only just recently thought about how much of a melee menace the defiler could potentially be. Because the defiler scourge has the extra attacks keyword I possibly could have wiped Dante out along with his squad had I used it instead of the heavy flamer.

Then again my charge rolls seem to never like to actually go off alot of the time

Why is Slaanesh the only god without a dedicated sub category? Couldn't they beef up Emperor's Children beyond noise marines or something

Slaanesh has plenty of subs

I can't decide between using HH models, CSM, or weird cluster fucks with 3rd party pieces for alpha legion
>>
>>93948082
My bad I should've been more specific. I'm talking about being on the same level as Death Guard, World Eaters and Thousand Sons
>>
>>93948093
the problem with iron warriors, alpha legions and night lords are that they're suposed to be "not that chaos", but using normal SM figures is also fucking boring
>>
>>93948070
Because GW doesn't want to draw a lot of focus to Slaanesh
>>
>>93948105
Someone told me to use primaris bodies and use some of the HH shoulders and helms for my chosen to make them more alpharius sized
So far the thing that sounded the most fun to do is tons of custom bits of Etsy and such to get the whole hydra look for everyone and less chaos
>>
The last of my models will be here in about a week and I wanted to get started on painting the ones I already have built. Should I buy the citadel paint at my LGS or can I just go to a hobby lobby or something? I was planning on using black primer and just getting the few colors I need for these guys. I'm not planning on doing anything fancy with shading or decals I just want to get the color scheme right.

I don't know, theres probably more subs with slaanesh then other gods, world eaters probably has a bunch of doms

I'm getting my fluff from official GW illustrations and those lads don't have that much of spiky armors and daemonic limbs

Atleast in AL case I've seen a good amount of art from GW showing they use spiky armor and plain Jane space marine armor just in AL colors, but I know they use anything which makes it hard to figure out what to do for them on table top, spikes and shit make sense but very little or no mutations seems hard to get using chaos models
>>
>>93948140
Oh and i looked into ordering that paint set someone suggested earlier but I think I'm just going to try and grab the specific colors I need. This will be my last big 40k project for a while and I dont want to get a bunch of paint that I won't use

Prime black, base coat with a chocolatey brown like Catachan flesh, wash with drakenhoff nightshade/ druchii violet, highlight with Gorthor brown. It’ll give you a nice dark skin tone without making them look inhumanly dark if that’s not what you want.
>>

One day Ill actually stop being sick and snotty and paint a new model. Until then, heres my neurotyrant, havent posted him in a while.

Like in the unsungs case kassar told people if they want to fuck with chaos there free to do so and fuck off from the squad, but most of the squad have no mutations or really chaos looking armor

Not that guy, but I feel like picking and choosing parts from both normal Space Marines and Chaos seems the most fun for Alpha Legion honestly. Then again I'm not sure what things people have made on crafting sites

I don't think you could paint them very fast, that's for sure. I like detailed models so it's enjoyable to me but if you don't like getting stuck on mundane detail like those alternating colors you might not particularly like it. It's not that bad if you start with the trim or prime/undercoat with gold and then fill in the turquoise panels though

I did not know that actually. Got a link to more details?
As for Beakys/angry, Titus has one at the start and the Boltgun protag has a beak. They're absolutely gonna be in the season pass to make people fork over cash.

Hell I'll go as far as to add to my copium crack theory that the box, Astartes 2 and the cosmetics for SM2 will all come out at the same timw

Paints you just want to make sure the lids are firmly closed. If you're using flip top paint pots you want to make sure there isn't any paint in the rim of the lid.

Black primer is fine for dark tones, if you've got white primer I think it'd be in your best interest to leave the arms, backpacks and heads separate, prime them white, then do your legs and torso in black. Just saves you the headache of getting a solid white basecoat over a black primer

Statistically, the Orks have lost like, 95% of the battles they've been involved in within the lore.

>>
>>93948805
>aliens desperately try to survive humanity's wrath?
I don't think Orks, Necrons, Deldar and Tyranids are particularly desperate about much of anything. Or threatened at all, even. Only Tau and Creldar are under any meaningful existential threat, and only one of those due to Humanity.

They are not even remotely unique in that respect, pretty much every unit has "oh well I take this, obviously" options. Vestiges of having to pay for wargear.

>>93948941
In the past you would pay points for wargear but this edition GW rebranded power level as points so you are more incentivized to min-max and put the best equipment on because it's cost is baked into the unit cost.

The War of the Beast, which killed as many loyal Primarchs as the Heresy and lay the groundwork for almost every other one to fuck off and plunged the Imperium into a fanatical, despotic and bureaucratic hell hole, while also crwating a significant schism between the two leading religious cults that only grew larger with time AND saw Eldar able to infiltrate the fucking Imperial Palace? That time the Deldar goaded one Primarch into pursuing them and (for whatever reason or another) denied the Imperium his peesence? The on-going canpaign which may lwad to the fucking Rift being closed off and signaling the defeat of the 13th Black Crusade? That time Eldar fleets were instrumental in crippling the 12th Black Crusade through their inteel and knowledge of the Blackstone Fortreases?

Goddammit Anon, even the T'au have punched above their weightclass.

yes, zso sahaal's entire autistic ranting was about how the flaying and torture and terrorism and fear tactics should be done for the sake of intimidation and achieving actual results, not masturbatory for its own sake, they were doing that shit even when they were """loyalists""" because they're just fucking awful evil assholes. every legion has chaos gooners who love the mutations and fellate the chaos gods but night lords being cartoonishly over the top cruel and evil (and also often cartoonishly jobbing) is not because they worship chaos, it's because they're fucking assholes. at the end of Lord of the Night the guy who's literally the highest ranking night lords member besides Kurze, who was personally chosen as his successor in anticipation of his suicide-by-callidus, thinks mutants are losers and calls a daemon prince a faggot to his face. ADB has used his donut steel self insert to try and downplay this because he's a loser and is mad Spurrier mogs his entire career but it doesn't change the facts

They're fucking untouchable in Commorragh and never showed any desire to leave it or expand into reals space. Even during raids they're immortal if they're rich enough.

That they consistently overpower and are never hurt by on a spacies level. Once they win ground it simply cannot be won back, and for every hive fleet destroyed many more appear over in the galaxy's edge. It's not a winnable war without some galaxy-wiide macguffin, the only known ones being, ironically enough, of Necron origin and control.

The Orks are stronger than they were after Ullanor and show no sign whatsoeverof been on the decline, beeing even implied to now be nearing that same level again under Ghaz. Regardless of what happened to the Beast it has been a continuous strategic victory to the Orks.

>Have lost every single war they've ever fought against the Imperium
And still manage to consistently grow into human territory.

The only factions that ever loses something in the long term are the Imperium and the Creldar. Maybe the Necrons as there are only so many of them, but it gets murky with most being asleep and awakening piecemeal.

They took EC out of the CSM Codex, so either they're getting their own Codex or they're getting squatted. And with the AoS Slaanesh army getting such nice models and 30k getting a new Daemon Fulgrim, it's safe to say they aren't getting squatted.

The only real question at this point is if they're getting a proper release or a WE-style shit release that's worse than just leaving them in the CSM Codex.

I had a dream that they added a "size" characteristic for every model that was a new way for things to interact with terrain, which also had size characteristics. Swarms like rippers and nurglings were size 1, most basic infantry from grots to space marines was size 2, terminators on up to tyranid warriors was 3, etc. I wish I could remember more details on how it worked.

Would a more abstract system for terrain and line of sight improve 40k?
>>
>>93949226
I don't think they'd squat any of the chaos gods, they're such an important part to so many factions lore that it sortve falls apart if you remove one. I'd assume they'll get at least what tsons got and get a couple character, and a couple kits. I dunno if we'll ever see a DG sized refresh again for anyone. I think DG only got so much love because they were a starter army for 8th edition when they were dropping the first primaris stuff
>>
>>93949201
>no, they aren't
They are.

The Tau are a miniscule force that the Imperium sent a scouting patrol-sized force against and nearly wiped out during their first encounter. They only have a few hundred planets, and a population numbering in the trillions. Their technology is inferior to what the Mechanicus has, and they have no combat psykers.

The Necrons are a dying race who are incapable of replenishing their numbers and who lost a vast amount of their resources during hibernation. They are also quite weak, with a single Space Marine Chapter being enough to wipe out an entire Necron World Engine.

The Orks are a bunch of retarded buffoons who have fallen from grace since the war in heaven, and every time they try to become powerful again like with the Beast, they get shut down pretty quickly, never amounting to more than a mild nuisance.

GW don't have the production capacity to give the EC an entire range.

I think they'll get more than WE, simply because WE already had Kharn and Lord of Skulls. WE got five new kits, but they had two already.

Kroot got 8 new kits and they didn't even get a separate Codex.

I predict EC will get more than WE got, but not as many as one would want.

design templates that you can print and glue to heavy card stock or foam core, cut up the pieces and glue together. if its just terrain you shouldn't worry too much about them looking perfect.

That doesn't make any sense. They don't have the capacity to give the 40k Slaanesh army a range approaching the size of the AoS Slaanesh army?
>a bunch of AoS imports to empty out their warehouses (I hope you like Slaangors)
You specified Slaangors because that's literally the only kit from the AoS mortals that it makes any sense to put in 40k. And even if they do put Slaangors in, they're a 3 man unit so they can't be the meme Tzaangors are
>CSM units but with a different datasheet
Helbrutes, Heldrakes, Rhinos, and Land Raiders are a lock, but frankly I hope they get Bikers and Raptors too. Although a new Biker kit would certainly be appreciated

>>93949297
Prolly a papercraft template out there if you don't mind that kind of thing. Otherwise 15 pods is going to be a lot of resin if you buy recasts or 3dprints. Could maybe do fdm prints for fairly cheap but it'd be a lot of sanding to get them smooth

How anti-chaos are the Iron Warriors? I know they are Chaos Space Marines but from what I gather, they don't even like the Chaos gods that much. However, Perturabo is a Daemon Prince? That doesn't make since or am I missing something? From what I gather, he likely became a daemon prince to save his own life because Fulgrim wounded him mortally?

Anti-Chaos enough to still fill their ranks full of Daemon Engines and claim "hah, we're the ones using them!" as they go more insane. Not to say they weren't insane before, so nothing changed that much.

>>93949318
They currently do not have the capacity to make as many plastic injection molds to give the EC an entire army on top of all the space marines and other shit they're making, they will get a shitty half baked range like WE and Votann because they're not able to make 15+ brand new EC kits to give them a full army.
>other AoS imports
Symbaresh and Myrmidesh could easily get imported, given that GW were even lazy enough to give TSons the fucking mutalith vortex beast you might even see some of the big hedonites models that would stick out like a sore thumb in 40k just because they're lazy.

If the rumblings are true and Daemons is getting squatted as a codex the way Deathwatch did and they're splitting daemons and daemon engines up into the 4 legions+CSM then you can also add the twins and other named daemons

Chaos is a tool for them. They’re not above it since they create deamon engines and the obliterator virus. 10,000 years in the warp can change their mindset. They’re not as united like in the Heresy so different warbands take different beliefs.

Perturabo used the Iron Cage to become a Daemon Prince. I’m sure when GW decides to cover the scouring we’d get more insight on why Perturabo did it but he’s selfish and probably did it for power.

They aren't.
Perturabo is a Daemon Prince (probably because he's still seething about his little sister's burns towards his autism and crybully mentality)
They use Daemon engines constantly.
Vashtorr has the remote to every single IW's vibrating butt plug and chastity cage.

If you want to do "traitor/renegade marines, but not chaos" you need to do one of the autistic schizophrenic alpha legion warbands who genuinely still believe they're just triple agents for the emperor and all is according to keikaku (who instead of being manipulated by chaos, are often manipulated by a literal fucking Deceiver C'tan shard like the Redacted were)

As for agents they can fill in niches but most of the imperial armies have pretty large rosters of stuff to pick from so they're more like a fluffy alternative to stuff that more than likely covered by a unit in your codex
>>
>>93949424
Even the books have the Tau getting curbstomped in every battle. 1 million Tau losing to 1,000 Space Marines, The Damocles Crusade killing billions of Tau at the loss of only a few million Guardsmen, the Agrellan Campaign wiping out the entire Tau army save for a handful of troops while only losing a few guardsmen, the 4th Sphere failing utterly, another Tau Expedition getting sent to the Blood Ravens base and getting utterly fucked, etc.

Realistically, the best big Knight to ally as other imperials is Canis Rex and it's not even close. Imperial Knights as a faction are built around their Bondsmen abilities and priced as a premium as a result, you can't benefit from those as an ally, you ALSO can't give allied knights Enhancements, and also can't target them with non-core stratagems. Canis Rex is an Epic Hero so he can't take enhancements anyways, he doesn't have Bondsmen abilities so you don't miss out on that, and his abilities work even with just core stats (free tank shock, free CP reroll, etc)

If you're not taking Canis, then a squad of Warglaives for anti-tank is also alright. Thermal Spears wreck targets with half damage since the bonus damage from Melta 4 is added *after" all other calculations, so against a C'tan or something each shot is D6/2 damage, PLUS four.

The xenos races exist in universe so that marines can have a variety of dudes to fight and win against without drastically changing the setting.

Death Guard were an edition launch/starter set faction, EC won't get anything remotely comparable to their range (which is the only traitor legion that's actually able to be a standalone army without being a fucking joke)
world eaters is fucking embarrassing. The entire range is just Angron, Kharn, Jakhals, Eightbound, Berzerkers, and the Lord of Skulls. If you think that's comparable to what the EC range will be like, you're literally agreeing with my point AND THEN SOME, since """"world eaters""""" is literally five units and then daemon princes and borrowed CSM units. If you want the entire EC codex to be "EMPEROR'S CHILDREN RHINO, EMPEROR'S CHILDREN LAND RAIDER, EMPEROR'S CHILDREN PREDATOR ANNIHIATOR, EMPEROR'S CHILDREN PREDATOR DESTRUCTOR" and want to pretend that's"new" units, then boy do I have some brand new custodes "VENERABLE LAND RAIDER CRUSADERS" to sell you

Anon thats literal the best part of the Tau fluff, they're not near omniscient beings like we IRL fans are. They don't know loads of stuff we know. Thinking the chapter master of a first founding legion is the king of all space marines since everyone in the war effort would be taking orders from him is a fair, if naive, idea.
Like when they thought they killed 'Slaanesh' when they wiped out slaaneshi cultists and asumed that was their leader name was after they killed him.

Make the Imperium look bad* anon. The Tau in 40k are what the human faction or other sci-fis is. The fish out of water that gives outsiders an in-universe persepctive they can relate to. hence the alliance of many different xenos like star trek of star wars. Focus on diplomacy like in the real world, accpeting of cultural differences (all the xeno allies), innovating and making new tech, etc
If humans were good in 40k their empire would be closer in form and function to the Tau (and now LoV) than the Imperium.

Its fine to like the bad guys, and the Imperium is the mainfaction bad guy aganist other bad guys that are seen as evil from the perspective of a bad guy.
The imperium is like a nazi saying 'well at least im not a satanist summoing actual demons from hell', while ignoring his living saints bbecause his deamons look angelic to him
>>
>>93949739
Nah, desu the Tau are more of a dark reflection of the Imperium. They exist to show what would happen if the Imperium embraced ruthless imperialism without the love for humanity and honor that characterizes so much of it.

Is the Imperium perfect? Obviously not. But, especially nowadays with the Primarchs returning, it's much more of a noblebright alternative to what the Tau are pitching. To the point that even books made for children are comfortable with making the Imperium the protagonist and the Tau the antagonists.

Here's the thing about the Imperium's supposed 'grimdarkness'...it only ever shows up in brief blurbs and will never show up in an actual youtube video or any sort of media made for a wider audience.

People don't want to see industrial baby furnaces and servitorization of innocent people. They want to see Space Marines saving innocent people while talking about strength and honor. To that end, the Tau and Eldar only make sense insofar as they exist to be bad guys who are slightly less bad than the other bad guys so the Imperium can side with them as a last resort (but who are still worse than the Imperium so that the audience can cheer when they kill them).

Seriously it was insane back then what companies could get away with.

No but like really 14 hour shifts for company scrip and getting instantly replaced if you got sick or injured was a thing in britain during the industrial revolution. Oh and the US government once literally sold orphan children off to rich rural families against their will and split up siblings and a crap load of them became literal slaves.

I would say you used to be right. If the Tau were a Brave New World style dystopia that splits people up into castes and controls them through pleasure, then the Imperium used to be a 1984 style dystopia that splits people up into classes and controls them through fear and pain.

But with the Primarchs...not anymore. Guilliman has acknowledged that people wallowing in misery turn to chaos, and he's taken efforts to fix that. And Ultramar is already the best place to live in the Imperium, and now the guy responsible for making Ultramar such a nice place is now in charge of the entire Imperium.
>>
>>93949869
And that's why the Imperium are the good guys. They've had their grimdarkness toned down, while everyone else has had their grimdarkness toned up.

First Black Crusade Killed Dorn. The 13th destroyed Cadia and cleaved the galaxy in two. Its just lashing out to cause mayhem and desctruction on the empire Abaddon thinks he built so he has a right to destory

Anyway if he survives that due to not being there or Chaos then he loses a great deal of his power as CSM begin infighting over the fragmented Imperium. Abaddon ends up a much weaker warlord with his Black Legion Empire until Chaos turns on him or he just dies to another weak warlord.

If they were more like Harles GW would've given them a Killteam at this point or even used them as a narritive plot point for bringing Isha back and interconnecting the Maiden worlds and rebuilding the Empire into something far more interesting than what they decided to do with Ynnead, who hasn't been relevant ever since they kicked off Primaris. Exodites are forgotten besides the random autistic weirdos who think Dark Elf Coldone riders and wood elves with eldar guns is a cool concept in which case, AoS is a thing.

Specially the Imperium is likely in its worst fucking period ever. Its state of contant war was turned up to 11 after the great rift and there's never been more fighting. How do you think the Imperium is getting enough material to fight that? By having people slave away at manufactorums 24/7 until they drop fucking dead, only to be recycled into food for the remaining work force.

britbongistan is a third world country, GW refuse to buil a production plant in north america despite >50% of their business being there, or even make one anywhere else, electricity prices in bongstan are outrageous and GW's production is further limited by the fact they're on the same power grid as the local hospital and can' always run full throttle without killing people on life support, again, because it's a third world country.

uhh you paint the trim last
>>
So, here's the thing about Warhammer 40k writing and lore. Any time a fact is introduced that makes the Imperium look bad, it will be tempered by the fans into something reasonable.

For example:
>The Imperial Guard is cannon fodder reliant upon sheer masses of bodies and that's why they don't care what sex you are
"Wrong, the Imperial Guard are actually the top elite soldiers of the PDF, and are well equipped and trained, women are rare within the Guard, and their equipment and lasguns are some of the best weapons in the setting."

>The Imperium is a bad place to live.
"Actually most Imperium worlds are just civilized worlds, which are basically just modern day Earth."

>Agri-worlds are industrial-sized fertilizer plants whose air is so choked with chemicals that you need a mask just to breathe, people die young working factory farms, and they churn out tasteless bland crops until the planet's soil can't bear any more.
"Actually agri-worlds are idyllic farmsteads with cheerful tradwives that frollic through the wheat fields and are very rarely ever fought over."

Meanwhile, anything bad about xenos, is then multiplied by a thousand. For example:
>A rebelling population was maybe sterilized by the Tau Empire after they had created an insurgency against the Tau, but it's also possible that their population just decreased because of gender-split indoctrination camps, also this is being told by an Imperial narrator from his own POV.
"All non-Tau are sterilized for no reason as soon as they're captured by the Tau and then worked to death in labor camps as slaves or thrown into battle as disposable conscripts."

>The Eldar will sacrifice a thousand humans for one Eldar because their lives are far fewer and their fates far worse in the warp should they die without a soulstone.
"The Eldar will sacrifice one BILLION humans for one Eldar because they just hate us lmao."
>>

I hate how noblebright the Imperium is. They don't have mandatory baby rapes where newborns semen-filled are eaten every year. Nor do they spend 101% of their domestic produce to make nukes to nuke their own population, including the bomb makers, but through sheer grimdark they have industry to produce more nukes to nuke themselves. I miss back when the Imperium had it mandatory that all planets consist of self-aware zombies working 100 hour a day shifts and getting daily executions whenever they die of exhaustion.

Guard regiments are massively dependent on planet status and culture. Some have fucking amazing pricy gear (Harakoni War Hawks), some are just a pack of criminal drug addicts (Savlar Chem-dogs).

There are mixed regiments, all-women, and all-male - although like true idpol faggots GW retconned a cool all-male one (Vostroyan Firstborn).

There are civilized worlds but they are not necessarily nice and nothing like modern Earth with the AdMech and Arbites around. Your best bet is something obscure and low population, but then you lack security.

>>
>>93950644
>for a reason
that reason is largely whining from marine players who unironically think "npc factions" should have a 0% winrate into /theirdudes/ and seethe that this is a wargame about scoring points on objectives and not halo deathmatch. see also: even when "parking lot" lists and indirect fire or gunlines suck ass and are not remotely meta, there's tons of people who whine about them even if it's a free win by just scoring the objectives while your opponent masturbates in his deployment zone, but a large part of vocal complainers don't WANT to score points or win, they only care about tabling the opponent. If they win 80 to 40 points but lost more little army men they go home in a bad mood (and these people should probably be playing something like kill team)

I refuse to believe that the episode of Tithes is canon, it's just beyond retarded.
First off Guilliman would never sacrifice 10k populated planets to be obliterated into dust.
Secondly we already have a case of Kryptman who DID exterminatus'ed a whole bunch of populated planets in the path of a tyranid fleet, and he got excommunicated and had a death warrant.
Thirdly, the Tyranids are invading the galaxy "UNDERNEATH" which means the firebreak is fucking pointless.

Also, the Tyranids invading the galaxy are said to be just scouts and that the actual main Tyranids army outside the galaxy is much bigger,
the Tyranids outnumber the humans in the galaxy, does Imperium actually think they can out-attrition the Tyranids?
>>
>>93950990
I simply choose to disregard the tyranid lore at large and keep them as occasional cannon fodder for the real factions like orkz necrons tau and the imperium
>>
>>93950990
The Imperium (and especially the Administration) being retarded and crumbling under the weight of its own enormous sprawling bureaucracy is the entire point. Planets of billions starve to death because they're forced to import all their food from off-world and a shipment is misplaced or marked as already delivered.

Before Old Night the Imperium could administer its galactic sprawl of unimaginable side with thinking machines and DAOT miracle tech, the modern Imperium is a crumbling ruin where the bean counters write on parchment and carry around an abacus to try and manage entire planetary populations. It's awful and crumbling and inefficient and they don't understand how to make things better and that's the entire fucking point.

If you think "We were sent to collect all ammunition on this planet for transfer to a supply world, the fact you are technically in armed conflict using said ammunition does not contradict our standing orders, that's why the benevolent emperor issued you a bayonet for your lasgun" doesn't fit 40k you should probably open a codex

I just find it hilarious that the Custodes think they're so much better than Space Marines because they caused the Horus Heresy.
The Heresy happened because the Emperor was fucking stupid and made a whole bunch of bone-headed moves that caused his primarchs to rebel.
Seeing how the Custodes are the Emperor's bodyguards and always travel with him, the Custodes in their infinite wisdom would SURELY see the Emperor's errors and try to correct and guide the Emperor.
They could've said, "hmm, bombing a city to dust and making 100k marines kneel to you and talking shit about your primarch son might have unintended consequences, maybe i should talk to Big E and make him apologize".
But nope, that didn't happen.

The Custode's biggest weakness is the massive stick up their ass.

the custards see the marines turning traitor as the problem here, not listening to the emperor. they're literally homunculi crafted to be loyal to Big E at the molecular level, they literally can't even conceive of that sort of retarded soap opera daddy issues whining and betraying him just because he was a little mean during the war of galactic conquest to reclaim humanity from uncountable alien threats.

As an omniscient audience, you can say "the primarchs and marines are whiny spoiled man children acting out their black library author's daddy issues, so the emperor should have tried to be nicer to them to avoid setting these unstable retards off and literally half trying to destroy all life in the galaxy", but to the custards the problem there is "WHY ARE HALF OF YOU FAGGOTS TRYING TO DESTROY ALL LIFE IN THE GALAXY FOR CHAOS JUST BECAUSE YOUR DADDY DIDN'T LOVE YOU ENOUGH"

Congrats, you're one of the few people who knows the grimdark side of custodes.
Custodes are hyper-conservative flesh androids. They were Emps "companions" in the sense that they were beside him always, not as equals or as critics.
This is why they sat in the Imperial Palace for such a long time. They weren't just mourning Emps. They had no purpose and were listless.
They literally let Terra fall into a civil war because they didn't care what happened to the outside world so long as the Imperial Palace was safe. Because that's what it means to be custodes.
>They could've said, "hmm, bombing a city to dust and making 100k marines kneel to you and talking shit about your primarch son might have unintended consequences, maybe i should talk to Big E and make him apologize".
This ironically was predicted by Emps. That's why the Custodes trusted him implicitly. He knew far more than they did.

I don't think the Tau even have 1000 planets, I think it's literally 1/10th that number with a few dozen major septs and then like a hundred colonies. So go digging through codexes and find an example where somebody takes a Tau planet and that's, technically, 10x more significant than a single chapter being wiped out

Was playing around with an airbrush for the first time today and dicked around with some old generic acrylic paints I had lying around.

But it suits him.

Miquella failed at everything he ever done. The Haligtree, curing Malenia, giving Godwyn a true death, etc. Even his DLC plans rely entirely on a random Tarnished to kill two boss Miquella has the resources to end but I'd too stupid to.

Radahn is a comparable failure. He failed to siege Leyndell, got BTFO by Margit and not even Morgott, was pushed back by Malenia's forces deep into Caelid AFTER Malenia marched an entire continent to meet him and started the fight injured.

People choose people like themselves. They choose lawyers like themselves. One study had a bunch of kids presented to prospective adopting parents and the parents near universally chose the kids alike themselves. Not the smartest, most athletic or traits like that. Only the most similar to themselves.

Miquella naturally chose a complete failure in everything.

40k existed for decades before any 30k shit was put to paper, the emperor's "boneheaded decisions" are largely shitty authors needing to work backwards from the factual conclusion (the state of the galaxy in 40k, who is a traitor, who is loyal) and then awkwardly fucking about with their donut steels trying and failing to seem reasonable and often failing, resulting in lots of moments of forced retardation or seeming idiocy from everyone involved because this is not a thought out story moving from cause to effect, it's a prequel that started with a predetermined outcome and tried to awkwardly justify all that and failed.
>How come big e played nice with Russ and earned his respect and loyalty and even bent over backwards to modify the marine process so leman's trusted subordinates could follow him as marines since big e knew the bond with his men was so strong, but he did none of that with Angron and just let him obviously be an unstable traitor?
because the Warhammer 40,000 space wolves are loyal and world eaters are bad guys whose angry leader is literally named Angron. That's why. It's not a "bone headed decision" that caused it, the bone headed decision is the writers trying to pull something out of their ass.

the takeaway for 30k vs 40k is largely the same as star wars OT vs prequels. Jar Jar and Midichlorians don't make Return of the Jedi a bad movie, the prequels sucking is independent of the original series' quality. Same with 40k, retarded black library slop written decades after-the-fact for 30k has no bearing on the quality of 40k material which predates it.

It's important to remember that the Emperor was literally a fucking stone age warlord.

Is it any wonder that he ran the Imperium in the same manner?

>>
>>93951270
The Force was always intended to have a material component, because Star Wars is all about hybridizing fantasy and scifi, and in scifi, "psychic powers" are material. It's also an implicit rejection of strict dualism, as part of the eastern aesthetics of the series: the material and the spiritual aren't the same but they echo each other. This is why Jedi meditate and practice complex techniques, why Sith inevitably ends up physically fucked up, and why he felt the need to include Midichlorians.

Reminder that Yoda straight up tells you in ESB that life created the Force, like some kind of galactic gestalt. It's not an external God.

Ok men, I need help.

I have decided to veer away from painting my guard in standard Cadian colors and would like a Tallarn themed desert scheme instead.

However, as it turns out, finding a good color combination is harder than I thought. I sprayed a test piece with Zandri Dust, Tallarn Sand and Zamesi Desert, but neither of those combinations look any decent to me.

I'm gonna go to the store and test it with Steel Legion Drab instead one more time, but I figured I could also try asking here for any help.

I was thinking of some kind of camo pattern that can be applied via masking putty and airbrush, for convenience reason, essentially the same stripes as Cadian camo, but with sandy desert colors instead. I think one of the colors should be Zandri Dust, because it looks nice and also comes in a rattle can for priming.

Ambots would be objectively cooler looking

The green-brown slop color on the left looks like vomit
Use the nice sandy one

lorefags are the ones keeping alive an IP while transient paintfags and tourneyfags move on the new thing like they always do.
Stick to your lane, tourist

>Both eras have been mostly written by the same guys
firstly this is patently untrue especially 8th edition onwards
secondly so fucking what, the same author can be garbage depending on the CONTENT of their writing. Abnett has literal capeshit marvel comics under his name alongside shit like Titanicus. Rocket Raccoon isn't equal to Eisenhorn just because they're made by the same guy. The CONTENT of 30k is gay space daddy soap operas and endless waves of space marines fighting other slightly different space marines, it's fucking garbage.

>>93951323
The issue is, I feel it clashes hard with the rather cool color of Zandri Dust.

This.

First, midichlorians are only mentioned like two times in the entire prequel trilogy, and the interpretation of how they interact with the force is left quite open-ended.

Second, it is established in the originals that the force is strong in the Skywalker family. It is also implied that not anyone can be trained in the Force, given how few force users there are, and how Vader and the Emperor think about training Luke or Leia. If they want to train more Sith, and anyone can be trained in the Force, why don't they just train stormtroopers to be force users? All of this implies that force sensitivity can be inherited, which leads to genes, which leads to biology.

In other words, midichlorians make perfect sense.

Khorne and all of his legions in general are some of the stupidest shit lmao

>>93951346
it's a lot dumber in 40k than he was in fantasy when it was burly norscan barbarian wielding axes who thought magic was for pussies, yes. it doesn't help that angron and the world eaters have the literal dumbest fucking writing imaginable and are unironic lobotomites.

How do lorefags keep the ip alive by not buying any models, or any rules
>>93951335
Preferably their models that they are working on, or if not then their games.
>>
>>93951355
Yeah, Khorne does work in Fantasy, but they really should have taken some extra time to think about how he would EVER function in 40k.
>>
One funny thing about Khorne. He's okay with high technology that's borderline magic including looted enemy tech, he's okay with Daemon weapons, but not magic. So if I defeat and force a Daemon to cast a spell for me, is he angry?
>>

I dunno ask /hhg/

> untrue especially 8th edition onwards
Wrong. ALL the HH main writers also wrote 40k before, during, and after writing 30k books (like the The Beast novels). The trend only changed in recent years with the HH series end, and a wave of 40k-only new writers.
>Abnett
His 40k and 30k books have the same highs and lows, including making up lore breaking shit that have earned his books the "Abnettverse" moniker. You don't know shit.
>The CONTENT of 30k is gay space daddy soap operas and endless waves of space marines
Wrong. You're just another middlehammerfag that never got past the first 5 HH books being generous and not asssuming that you're parroting wikis and loretubers.

>>93951372
No but he'll be angry at the Daemon

>>93951377
>Khorne, Daemons, and Magic don't exist in 40k

>>93951271
>The HH was introduced barely 2 years after the RT rulebook
A paragrpah blurb isnt the same as 50+ books of bl slop and now that cancer is seeping back into 40k proper with primach shit.
Its forgiveable if its just daemon primarchs because they've more or less been in 40k since 2ed, the loyalist ones also coming back is the problem
>>
>>93951372
enslaved daemons are okay. if you beat a bloodthirster into submission and ride on its back through portals you force it to create, that's okay, but you can't make any portals yourself. unless you become a daemon prince, then deep striking with magic teleports is totally cool and kosher.....for reasons.
honestly a chaos god with a "no magic" rule is just too retarded and hypocritical, don't think about it too hard, especially in 40k which doesn't even have Winds of Magic, it's just all Psykers and warp bullshit. blood sacrifice and blood magic and literal magic items and artifacts are okay as long as they come from khorne, too, and they still use navigators but they're mad about it (lol)

I mean since it's a chaos god you can just say "being retarded and hypocritical is the point!" but it's still kind of stupid since "magic" isn't an emotion, it'd be like tzeentch having a rule you weren't allowed to stab people

no, sorry, angron and the world eaters are retarded and would only make sense in the context of gay sado-masochists willingly humiliating themselves and being as dumb as possible for the purpose of sexual gratification. if angron was a bugchaser who gave his entire legion AIDS it would make more sense than the shit we got

>paragrpah blurb
Retard. The HH had an entire epic game for itself during RT since 1989, and became a main part of the background fluff of all 40k space marine supplements since 2nd ed (1993) until Index Astartes and specially Visions of Heresy (2002-4) set up the current 30k setting.

I discovered 40k when I went to my friends house when I was 8 and saw his brothers tau stuff. He had just bought a hammerhead and had a bunch of stealthsuits. I was already painting model cars and thought the little space men were cool and bought a box of tacticals.
