Painting comes in bursts. You build a pile of shit, then ask yourself why you spent 300 bucks on shit you're not painting, then in a week you paint a bunch of models that have been sitting around doing nothing for months. Being a hobby rather than a job, the enjoyment is from doing it at your leisure.

Wthat's your predictions about mark VII armor models? Will GW replace devastators and tacticals with mark X models and never mention them again - or will they release new ones for Horus Heresy? But then again - aren't them "too modern" to be part of Horus Heresy range? Or maybe they are too iconic and GW will not dare to delete them from 40k - just like they chickened out with termies? We all know they planned to replace them with gravis units...

GW probs wont ever squat the models, they are still probably like their 2nd best selling kit. If they did they'd make a real scale version, they made plastic models of the older marks they're not going to squat MVII

GW will retcon it so every Legion had access to Mark VII during the Horus Heresy.

Primaris technically existed during the Heresy so you know what the next stop is.

Do gw stores have demo armies so newfags can play like a 500 point game, or even demo kill teams so people who aren't moneybags can play them and think about buying a 60 dollar kill team instead of a 170 dollar combat patrol? I was just thinking instead of having employees play demo games it would make sense if they let people play demo games like that to advertise warhams better.

Or even better if you let people rent armies for a game. Make it like a subscription service with a little 'insurance' money for broken/stolen model. I'm a genius, GW better not steal my jewish idea.

i was a massive waacfag when i was young, and i was an eldar player too so the memes really write themselves. honestly surprised anyone wanted to play against me, i was a filthy fucking cheat and it sickens me to this day

i bought a fuck load of paints when getting back into this hobby yet my painting skills are laughable at best. i havent even opened over half of them yet. the fuck was i thinking, why did i need over 20 different varieties of green?

i went halves in the leviathan box and to this day havent taken anything out of it. maybe the rulebook, which my friend didnt want but its still all there, unassembled, sitting underneath my desk
which brings me to my next confession. i am a very angry individual, dunno if its come from my dad or not or a shit upbringing but i get furious at the drop of a hat. so instead of playing nids, i decided that i didnt want to take this game too seriously and get a bunch of orks, i thought that i could fit into the ork player trope and just be goofy and enjoyable to be around. i havent played a game in this edition yet btw, all of my army is mostly greytide getting painted at a fuckin snails pace but as long as its getting done thats fine by me, im not in a rush or anything

so ive thought about it, and given that ive become a massive beer snob ill need a decent setup for it, brewing lagers out of one of those cheap all in one kits isnt going to cut it. ive got friends that do it, but they own their own houses and have rooms dedicated for it, whereas im renting and we have no space for it atm, well at least an area that isnt exposed to light, heat, etc. as i understand (to do it seriously) it is quite expensive to get a decent setup but it becomes very cost effective later on. some of the beers my friends have brewed have been fucking amazing and they generally just follow a recipe that someone from a well known brewery has leaked (like Verdant brewing in the UK) which alone is a big inspiration. needless to say, despite all of my excuses, im a lazy cunt and will probably never get around to it

I wanted to make some snakebitez, so I went for earth tones with this nob. But I also like the greenish blue and yellows that the old artwork has. I don't know which to go with, but I also don't know how to apply those colors to all components of the boyz' sculpt.

That is to say that I basically don't know where to put which colors. there are suprisingly few examples and guides online for snakebitez that look tribal and beaten but still have the old colors. Right now I'm leaning towards the grey pants, brown shirt, blue straps, and black boots. maybe dirty gunmetal for the weapons and some copper.

Space marines do differ when it comes to height. Some firstborn marines can be actually taller than primaris marines. Gabriel Angelos and Tyberos come to mind. Primaris are generally taller because of new organ, but shorter primaris marine will still be shorter than taller primaris marine.

If you're on the surface level, go for the Ciaphas Cain books, as it serves as a great explainer for the 40k universe as a whole.
Beyond that, it depends on what faction you're more interested in.
Can reccommend the Siege of Vraks though because Dkok kick ass.

its amazing how boring the imperium is as a whole compared to the snippets of litteraly anything else in 40k. Even votann mogs the Imperium.
>>
>>93961554
The fleets of each respective faction must suck, so that ground wars can happen.
If the imperial navy would manage to stop all the enemy reinforcement or worse, stop the initial invasion fleet, then there wouldn't be any ground battles, which is kinda the point of warhammer 40k.
so, the attack and defense fleets genuinely don't matter except as background fluff.

You might be further interested in the older campaign books for various factions, or longer conflicts like the Siege of Vraks, the Badab War, the Damocles Gulf Crusade, the Sabbat Worlds crusade, the War for Armageddon, or whatever else might suit your fancy.

But also yes Black Library has a history of bad writers. Look up the infamy of C.S. Goto if you want a good example of the slop.

That's because you are thinking in nowaday's categories. But Leandros did EVERYTHING like his chapter taught him so. Chaos is everywhere, anyone can be corrupted, you need to stay vigilant, always inform your superiors (or inquisition) if you suspect heresy or chaos taint etc. He had EVERY reason to suspect the worst: Titus was called a mutant by a fucking chaos sorcerer and daemon prince in spe, he wasn't following Codex Astartes, allowed himself to be tricked by a false inquisitor possessed by chaos daemon to open a chaos gate and on top of that had contact with 40k equivalent of warpstone explonding to his face. So yeah - Leandros did nothing wrong - and clearly his Ultramarines pals thought the same, since he was elevated to a position of a chaplain. Cope.

There is such a thing as doing everything by the book and being correct and still being completely /wrong/.
That's why people despise Leandros. He technically did nothing wrong by the codex astartes, but his sheer puritanical adherance to the codex still led him to make a bad call about his captain.
Ironically enough, it is that sheer adherence to purity that makes him a great chaplain.
>>
>>93961856
Yet nowhere in the Codex does it state you need to report heresy to them before the Inquisition.
In the situation on Graia it was only logical to contact the Inquisition first.

Even by 40k standards, Leandros (and if we're being honest, the UM chapter as a whole) took the codex too literally.
The Codex astartes was penned to be more of a guidebook, a series of suggestions of what you *could* do in a situation. Not something you want to religiously follow at all times, because there's no way, even for a Primarch, to account for every single possible scenario that could ever happen in a battlefield. Touching a chaos artifact, for example, is something you want to avoid as a rule of thumb. But if touching it for the sake of its destruction helps save the planet from destruction, then that's probably more helpful than harmful.
So, by the letter of the book, which Leandros was interpreting the Codex Astartes as, everything he did was perfectly rational and pure. By the spirit of the book, that Titus was interpreting it with, Leandros failed to grasp the true value of the codex, and thus made a bad call with his accusation. Something he probably had to admit with grit teeth in SM2 when he said the taint wasn't found on him at all.

By adhering strictly to the Codex Astartes that the Emperor wrote and then Roboute Guilliman also wrote because everyone apparently wrote the Codex Astartes, the Ultramarines became the most valorous and bravest and bestest and strongest and most awesome and most loyal and most incorruptible space marine chapter there ever was.
Since the Ultramarines can do no wrong, then neither did Leandros do wrong, as did Titus (except that he could and should have just broken out from the torture chambers to prove he is right).

Leandros didn't report Titus for not following Codex Astarter to the letter tho'. He reported him for surviving explosion of warpstone to his face, being accused BY A CHAOS SORCERER of being a mutant/heretic/whatever and failing to notice Drogan was in fact a puppet of a chaos daemon which lead to opening a warp gate upon the world of Graia. Leandros did a good thing in terms of wh40k standards - reported something suspicious and possibly danger. It was Inquisition's job to determine if the accusation was right or false. if anything - it was inquisitor Thrax that is to blame, not Leandros. If Thrax wasn't obsessed and clearly biased against space marines, he'd let Titus go after a month of interrogation and the case would be closed.

Ok, cool?

You also said you didn't want your army nerfed because someone dared to use the broken rules and show GW how bad of a job they're doing. So your issue is just misplaced impotent anger at tournament players rather than GW. You are a clown, honk honk.

I like to think he's just a slightly more individualist version of the other gsc characters and the reason all genestealer cults have kelermorphs/nexos/primuses/maguses is because they're all copies of copies of people the nids ate long ago.

If i was not a retard etc. and actually had models, i would kitbash (even a little bit) every fucking model, even basic troops.

Veterans would get kitbashed more shit on them and eventually get new paintjob.

Nowadays, all the information about building terrain is available online. What's stopping you? You can look up model train layout tips as well as other people's wargaming board build techniques and build this sort of board for yourself and your friends. It costs next to nothing.

As for fluffy mission play, play crusade you retard, that's literally what it's for. You don't have to pay a dime, it's all available on Wahapedia. Or, alternatively, the core rules are free now, so just buy the crusade books, they're full of fluffy, imbalanced missions.

I play crusade missions on TTS mostly (I have 3500 pts painted but some of my friends are half a country away) and there are some amazing terrain layouts available there. My poorfag friend got really into making terrain layouts that would be prohibitively expensive or inconvenient to store in real life, some even for specific crusade missions, and made them all available on the steam workshop.

Point is, this kind of hobbying is alive and well, you're just too much of a lazy fuck to engage with it
>>
>>93962775

If you want your gaming tables to look cool with great terrain you better start hobbying and make it yourself.

Been thinking about how all of the most interesting parts of 40k lore have basically been abandoned. Chaos are now generic bad guys, rather than a heretical religious opponent. The AdMech looking at tech religiously rather than scientifically is gone. Imperium in decay is gone. Old stuff being better is gone.

I've read a bunch of the novels and it's funny how all the protagonists are basically agnostic or secular in a setting that's supposed to be about religious fervor and has literal gods and demons. The idea that the Emperor is a false god created to stop the masses from worshipping Chaos is a fun one. But no he's just an actual god now

But as for demographics? Eh. You're getting about the same ratio of Primaries to Secondaries. They love 40k but don't necessarily have the time, interests, or money to spend on 40k models.
So basically, like all the ESG initiatives, the results are awash at best and an active detriment at worst.

>>93963399
it was about how the administratum is such a ponderous, draconian and distant authority that entire worlds are doomed out of clerical errors and sheer indifference towards the compromises they make in the grander schemes of things

the troops on the ground were expecting supplies of ammunition
the troops sent were instead given the order to gather their ammunition, dooming the world to the orks, so that the ammunitions could be sent somewhere with more strategic value
except upon delivering the cargo to the administratum, turns out the administratum will have to destroy the delivery because at the moment they can't manage it

for the characters in the episode it was a situation about life or death, duty or treachery, for the administratum it was a 0.002% error in warehousing estimates during their efforts to better redirect the imperium's resources

Yeah, I'm not against trying to push mechanics to their limits trying to win, but listbuilding like a competitive player is lame.

My favorite 40k flex is running balanced lists using only the models I own and have painted in real life, against my friend who keeps building pseudo-optimized lists he thinks will be super competitive (he 3d prints but hasn't painted a single model, and so far he's only played against me on TTS). So far, I've won the majority of our games by a thin margin, and I think it's starting to frustrate him. Last game I won by 2 points in turn 5, only to later realize I forgot to import a whole 10 man squad into TTS when building my list. I feel like telling him about it now would break him.

How many Iridium Crisis Suits can I build with two Crisis Suit boxes? I've seen Taufags say that you cannot build a whole squad in the iridium armor variant with 1 box.

Should identify what models you like the look of, and take a peek as to how they fit into the rules, I suppose.

Tau's Combat Patrol is pretty decent and can fit into any detachment so thats an upside, don't have to immediately made a decision. Depends how much you know about the game or if you truly have no clue
>>
>>93963705
Literally going in blind.

>>93963720
Alright well as I said Tau's Combat Patrol box is solid and everything in it is decent so start there if you really want to jump in, or just grab a smaller box like a Strike Team and see if you even like building/painting at all.

I like them a lot as a faction, only downside is that you won't really learn close combat mechanics all that well as Tau never want to be in it

There's Leader units you can include in your army, and at the start of the game they can be attached so a certain selection of others, referred to as Bodyguards. Makes them function as one unit for basically all purposes, have to move around together. Things like that.

Farsight attaching to a Crisis team boosts their shooting to more easily wound when within 9" of your target, and you can use a Stratagem on them for cheaper or free. Which would be something like move after shooting that you would usually spend a Command Point to do
>>
>>93964086
You can run character and its routine as a single unit, this lets them both use each others rules.

For example Farsight gives you +1 to wound, while plasma crisises reroll hit rolls of 1, so together they have both bonuses.

It's absolutely unique army. 99,99% of genestealer cult are normal people infected with genestealer kiss that are fanatically protecting their deformed children, throwing themselves with knives against tanks. They are fearless rabble - but unlike zombies they are normal people that are fighting for a cause. They are revolutionists (like another anon said), but from a horror movie, not commie dream. Imagine normal people living their normal lives and then, at the magus' command, they immediately stop doing what they are doing, go outside en masse and throw themselves at guards and arbites. Hybrids are their leaders and first generations (with most alien look) are their shock troops. Purestrains sit with patriarch in the center of all this. Absolutely chill and cool idea.

Imo, it'd look better if they were shorter, but still I'm not a big fan. Which is weird since I do like the bunny ears on Khorne Berzerkers.
Beside the point, but I wish loyalists made use of the crests that WE use, but it feels too Chaos coded/influenced design so it'd look out of place on most loyalist marine models.

It's important to get a nice even basecoat. Try to do 2 thin layers.
Also dont wash the model all over, just apply it in the recesses.
>>
>>93964632
Also stop gluing the model to the wall, makes it harder to paint.
>>
>>93964632
need to work on your brush control but that will come with practice, you should also layer your base color blue back over the non-recessed areas after doing a wash all over like this, otherwise you get this coffee staining on your raised areas like you see in your pic
don't be afraid to go over areas where a color spilled onto a surface you didn't want it on, painting is an additive process and as long as your paint is properly thinned you can put down plenty of layers before it starts affecting the model itself
>>
>>93964649
Thanks definitely did that second bit will try to be a bit less liberal with it.
>>
>>93964632
First, turn the picture 90 degrees. Thank me later.
Second, for a first model it's fairly alright. The Bloodied Chainsword is a pretty nice touch, and the bolt pistol is well painted. The chestpiece is a nice shade of gold as well.

In the future, consider using a secondary or tertiary colors to break up the primary color (White or black is a good place to start, and metalic trims, but feel free to use whatever color you like). Do not dunk your model in Nuln oil or other shaders, covering the reccesses is usually good enough.
Also, put terrain on first, then place your model on top, this is easier in the long term.

>>93964862
Depends on how "Complete" you want to make them.
Personally, I like to take my time with each model, even the Primaris Tacticals, so I typically do one, maybe two at a time. But some models you can rapid fire out, like guardsmen or orks, you can speed paint with enough practice.
>>
>>93964862
Working on several at a time is more efficient but also more soulcrushing. For a beginner I recommed going one at a time so you get to feel that "finished model satisfaction" more often so you stay motivated

>>93964862
Batch painting is the best way as long as the models have similar details, it will also save on paint and be quicker in the long run, though it comes with delayed gratification as you won't have the small bursts of completion that you do with painting models one at a time. The only exception is if you're painting to a super high level, as it's hard to do things like get smooth blends across multiple models at the same time, and you'd even likely have models broken down into smaller sub-assemblies that could get muddled.
>>
>>93964862
batch painting is more efficient but you'll fatigue much quicker and open yourself to missing details or making mistakes

Think in the timescale of a single character, one Inquisitor, investigating reports of a xeno cult forming underneath the hive capital of some planet. He's allowed to wander, as it is not yet time to rise, the Star Gods are hundreds of years away still. He prods a bit too much, however, and the order goes out. He must not be allowed to leave the underhive.
Or if you really don't want to deal with the Cuck aspect, there's a thousand ways to work around it, rebellious patriarch, mutated strain, Hive Fleet got wiped out before arriving, Chaos infection, etc.

-cutting off the neck altogether and lodging the screamer killer head way more solidly inside the cavity, somewhat like a tortoise retracting its head and resembling a bit more the original model, as if it's preparing a big scream, bonus point here would be grabbing a normal carnifex's bioplasmic screaming head and giving the skrillex an extra thing in his mouth

Thats some shit lore. I prefer the women breaking the glass ceiling. Honestly all the blackstone fortress fluff was a mistake from the start.

Not a sin, be at ease. I've done it to a few of my models too.

Kesh becomes a living saint and befriends the Sister of Silence. She cures Rostov of his curse. We get more confirmation that Pariah abilities don't work of Faith Powers. If you don't know who Kesh is she is the Mordian sergeant from earlier novels. She is on the cover

Yeng betrays Tenebrus. He dies. Seemingly absorbs the soul of the BSF and steals the reforged Anathame aka the very same sword that laid low Horus. The implication is that they are going use it on Roboute or the Emperor.

The inert BSF is given to the Kin who happily tear it apart to harvest blackstone. THEY ARE GOING BE RICH

It's funny that you guys are maimed because a corn flakes manufacturer thought it'd reduce the chance of you masturbating. Assuming you're american.

my printer is out of commission at the moment, printing room got turned into my nephews playroom, and im probably not going to bust out the chemicals again for a few more years until he's a bit less rambunctious

i've got some green stuff so i may try my head at just sculpting the neck. i also have a spare head from the norn emissary kit (the assimilator head) so i may see how that looks on him. the assimilator and the screamer killer are actually almost the same size. regular carnifex is a fair bit smaller, but i've got some extra monstrous creature arms from the tyrannofex kit i may also be able to use, but im not sure how out of place they would look, the new tyranids are significantly more....textured than even they 2012-2016 ones.

The Lord demands the foreskins of Philistines as a qualification for kingship. C'est la vie, really.

I want to read the infinite and the divine. Where's a good place to get it that would perhaps not give GW my money?

Man up and get yourself one of the OG screamer killers for variance.
