You always want a Platoon or Cadian Command Squad. You attach it to some Cadians along with Lord Solar and hey presto, 3 orders to anything and 1 to regiment within 24" rather than a worthless little 6" castle.
1 Basilisk is also generally enough, they're already a tech piece.

Hey wanna see me make the nomodels melty

I've not played since 6th and they've changed the rules a ton. Back when I played, there was an absolute ton of easy to access AoE high Str low AP weapons that would compeltely melt any kind of normal infantry. Fliers were broken, and Monstrous Creatures were all the rage. I remember losing tact squad after tact squad to Eldar buffing a Riptide... 2+ 3++ FNP... The rerolled hit dice, the death, the devestation...

Have the various rule changes made it so that basic infantry is 'good' again? I see Marines no longer have that retarded stipulation of one good weapon per squad forcing you to run Devastators or nothing and you can now just run a 'plasma' squad, a 'melta' squad... ect. I want to know what infantry to get to complement my dreads and tanks.

From the Lexicanum:

>Aeldari Corsairs or Anhrathe are bands of piratical Aeldari Outcasts. They are a constant threat to merchant shipping, though very rarely pose a threat to a major Imperial battlefleet.

What exactly are Corsairs preying on? Sure, merchant ships, but what cargo are they after? Even outcasts like Corsairs should be part of a post-scarcity society and not need Imperial cargo, specially considering they probably wouldn't have any use for the tech salvage (unlike Ork Freebootaz) and the market for imperial products that wouldn't try to murder Eldar on principle alone is probably pretty scarce. Only groups that I can see wanting to buy salvaged goodnwould be Orks, Heretics and general Rebels, with the first two being pretty iffy territory for business partners, and way more dangerous than Eldar should need to put up with.

I know asking for their tax policy is a meme and that the main driver is living free of Craftworld rigidity, but do we know the general economics of Eldar Corsair groups? What di rhey raid for and they do with rhat to sustain the damages and losses they'll inevitably suffer from engaging in piracy?

>>94037142
The Kill Team Nachmund booklet touched on it a bit. Since most of eldar society isn't really wanting for material wealth, corsairs tend to raid in pursuit of exotic prizes (technology, artwork, organisms, or whatever) or just to add to their own fame and tally of accomplishments. Like IIRC Yriel pillaged a giant fortress just because its overseer said it couldn't be done.

What do you mean?
Why is more Bullgryn's important? You cannot use them as officer bodyguards and you cannot give orders to them since they are neither regiment nor squadron.
Shouldn't I try to fit a third Rogal Dorn for even more damage?

The biggest issue I see is that there are too many big guns with BLAST, so if one of my units get hit with a charge I cannot shoot it anymore.
Maybe I should drop down to one Rogal Dorn so I can field a Stormlord

I made some /mydudes/ lore when doing a crusade a while ago, despite my Deffskullz not having anything special about them. I found it pretty fun to write characters and scenes for my own army, but I also like Deffskullz and don't want them to be a Kustom Klan.
Not saying your point is moot, by the way. /Yourdudes/ are best when they have their own paint scheme (take a look at the Thunda Krunchaz anon when he stops by every so often) to support their lore. But I also don't think that should stop someone from writing characters within an established subfaction.

>>94037266
Order range is 6". If you sit inside that range so your units are actually good, you don't play the game. With a command squad that becomes 24". Being able to Move Move Move or Take Aim a unit across the board from your expensive lynchpin officer is kinda pivotal.

Bullgryn exist to push objectives and resist the lightest of melee skirmishing units that basic infantry squads won't.

You can also still shoot blast, just not into engagement.

Plenty, here's a couple I can think of offhand
- So you can think about it as you paint, and so you can use it as context when making your dudes go pew pew pew at your friend's dudes.
- So you can use it as flavor to write up dispatches and battle reports when playing with a crusade group.
- Simply because you enjoy the named paint scheme and wish to use it, but you want to give your own spin on it

Thanks, fren. I found a guide for some really cool bases that are meant to look like cracked scabby skin, but it uses agrellan earth. Been researching alternatives, like some different crackle mediums, but they all end up looking more like aged paint than mudcracks. Still not sure if I want to compromise somehow, or just say fuck it and shell out for the GW shit.

I guess my question is: how do you know if you actually like something, or if there’s a novelty to it? Like, I started looking into admech a couple days ago and they seem really cool. I honestly wanted to dive in and pick some up but they’re super fucking expensive and I’m worried that they’ll just end up with me hating them too.

I'm coming back to Warhammer for the first time since like Assault on Black Reach when I was a teenager.
I've told a friend that he can expect me to turn up with some kind of starter kit or battle box at some point and give him one of the armies from it.

I'm eyeballing the current-edition starter sets though - he'll probably be down for taking Space Marines, but Tyranids just don't interest me. On the Age of Sigmar side, we're both OG Old World fans and think Sigmarines are tremendously gay.

Are there any options I'm missing to get my foot in the door with a couple of cheap combat patrols/spearheads for us to get started with? I know beggars can't be choosers but I'm open to suggestions.

Pic related sums up my decision-making process here.
>>
>>94037822
Just watch a video about how armies play if you that's important to you, otherwise just buy what looks cool
I think admech are cool and weird so I bought them
I bought grey knights because there cooler space marine paladins
>>
>>94037816
Black templars are cool, just not guard. It is the one army that looks better with exclusively third party shit.
>>
>>94037853
Well, what army DO you want to play?
>>
>>94037832
I honestly should just quit, this shit is so expensive

>>94037855

Combat patrol is a dogshit game mode, can't speak for spearhead though.

I think Tau, Orks, Aeldari, and Drukhari are neat. White Scars are cool too. Maybe a more pirate-y flavour of Chaos marines like the Red Corsairs.

For AoS - Orruks, Gravelords, Idoneth and Skaven, mainly.

I haven't grilled my buddy too deeply on what he'd want because it's supposed to be kind of a stress-free surprise for him.

The Drukhari and Tau combat patrols are a great start for an army, I wouldn’t get into aeldari right now since they will probably get a range update.

They could also be used as market manipulators. Eldar, by design considering their relatively small numbers, utilize misdirection to accomplish the broader strokes of their plan. You need to think of them less as pirates and more as think tank terrorists, procuring crucial resources to influences factions at the right moment or cripple supply lines to force some elements hand. Corsair are basically America in the 50s-70s and (lesser) onwards.

See this is the kind of neat shit you get when the Imperium is framed from the perspective of the regular short-lived dudes who inhabit it and are nowhere near the levers of power, instead of from the perspective of space marines who don't give a shit.

Eldar tech effectively allows them to cultivate and alter local climates in sections of the Craftworld. To that end they can tailor the wildlife there as well, creating optimal conditions for animal and plant growth. Due to the nature of the Craftworld and Infinity Circuit, they will also have a precise count on every single thing that lives within a specified area, allowing them to gauge population changes, monitor growth, and calculate the required demand and supply of food.
An Eldar farm would be the most immensely optimized method of food production in the galaxy, because they would know every detail as it happens. Maintaining those farms is a matter of tradition and dogma as well, just as Aspect Warriors are meant to fight wars for the Craftworld.
They are post scarcity from the standpoint that they have reached a point of infinite supply cultivation. Everything they consume is carefully calculated and provided for within their own stable ecosystem.
It's part of why Craftworlds are so irreplaceable. They literally psychic paradises drifting through space.

7th was the worst edition of the game and the people who play Horus Heresy and enjoy it only do so because they have no reference for the more obscenely OP things because HH is balanced purely around marine on marine violence instead of a variety of armies and Eldar having D weapons en masse. Not to mention that 7th’s core rulebook had several rules that literally no unit used or applied to.

I don’t have my 7th ed crb on me at the moment since I literally haven’t needed it in years but there were about three or four Universal Special Rules that genuinely weren’t used on any unit in the game. I’m genuinely sorry I can’t go into more detail than that since I’m going off memory and have no clue where my 7th ed CRB’s gone but it’s something that stuck out to me back when I was learning 7th and reading all the pirated codexes for fun off of here.

That has no relevance?

I replied by mentioning they did the exact same thing with WHFB and the two most successful tie ins any GW franchise had had at that point, after having already dropped the axe on the setting.

so far it's an improvement all around: cawl worked on the geneseed-tech holygrail and blueprints so he's got to reintroduce a surprisingly well preserved and fresh stock, two of the implants he added are mechanical in nature while the actual new biological component was something present in the primarch blueprints but never actually properly introduced into the marines project by the time the great crusade had to roll, so his work in this sense is flawless; maybe the rubicon surgery has unforeseen side effects, but we haven't seen those yet.

the only real problem you could actually underline, as Gabriel Seethe actually did once, is that primaris are either lacking the flaws which, good or bad, make some chapters what they are, or whenever it will turn out they're not actually immune to the flaws of their respective primarch's bloodline, they will fall all the harder to those in even more brutal fashion.

gabriel seth was proven right by the way: primaris blood angels are just ultramarines painted red AND they did fall to the black rage after all, in huge amounts and in an even more extreme way

Because Age of Smegmar is a newish property that needs to build a fan base so they put effort there

40k is profitable and paypigs still buy the crumbs of new product. This is typical for a British company. Ever wonder why the British motor industry is dead? It's because they did the bare minimum and never took risks on the logic that their existing products would sell well forever. They did not.

Orks always believe themselves to be the best, and actually look down on other species. It's the whole point of a WAAAGH! To kick in the teeth of everyone in the galaxy so they know the orks are the best.

The only ones who would take humans as more than slaves would be Blood Axes, because they understand and copy human tactics and idioms.

And some Space Marines do use their scouts to assassinate prominent Warbosses before they can unite the local klans.

Humans are not green, that's one. Two: orks are kinda psychic species that emits some kind of waaagh energy (this is how weird boyz can cast their "spells"). They just "know" something is un-orky. That's why ork genestealer hybrids are rare sight btw. - because orks sense there's something wrong with them and usually club them to death.

These are more or less the whole lot of ideological factions named within the inquisition to date. Having variety in a galaxy-spanning organization is neat (almost like there was supposed to be a roleplaying game based on this stuff), and that makes me think it's actually sort of stupid that I can name more ideologies within the inquisition than I can name sects within the ministorum. Of those I can only think of maybe two or three named ones. After forty years it feels there should be more of them.

It's simple
You put in mutant space marines from the eastern fringe who are ratlike. Imply that they are a lost splinter of the 2nd legion or thunder warriors that survived being killed off by the rangdan and gave themselves over to a dark power, served by mutants and cultists who are more ratlike the more favor they have. They become the mutant-focus army, leading entire legions of mutants to rise up against the imperium in eastern fringe worlds. Answer no specific questions.

I did asphalt for my warbikers, there's only three of them so it made the lines easy. You could drybrush more gray or dig out some more potholes or add some scrubby grass

Big things are easier to paint than small things for beginners. Plus knights you can paint the majority of armour panels before you attach them to the model and make it even easier

Hard disagree.

It's gonna be bad. Larger surfaces need much more work to create well defined volumes.

which kit is that second klaw (on his left) from? thought it was the black reach warboss one
>>
anyone got a simple grot skin recipe? was planning on hitting them with plaguebearer flesh followed by a very diluted biel tan wash
>>
>>94041719
One klaw came from the warbikers kit, the other came from my bitz box. It's a mystery.

You can follow the exact same workflow while painting a large model that you'd use for a small one and have it turn out fine. The only real difference is instead of all over shading, you're recess shading, which normally would be a pain but on a larger model everything is more accessible.

whats your basing recipe, /40kg/?
>>
>>94041778
I personally use either astrogranite or armageddon dust (I think that's what its called)

Then depending if its AG I use a wash of targor rageshade then a drybrush of pallid wych flesh. For armaggeddon I use something red, or maybe green depending what im basing for and then a similar drybrush over it.

This is gonna sound weird, but lets see if I can word this properly. For the people that like Chaos, why? This is me having a go at understanding the perspective of someone else. I don't like the mutated, grimy aspect or the "oh boy, I can't wait to go slaughter civilians" thing (not that stuff in the Imperium isn't like that, but I tend to not enjoy those sorts of things even in the Imperium). My favorite Transformer is Optimus Prime and my preferred fantasy class is Paladin; I am NOT the target audience of Chaos, I'm just curious about the perspective of people for whom that is true. And of course this hobby wouldn't really work if people didn't like Chaos, so good on y'all lol.

Eviscerator berserker can't have plasma pistols and vice versa. You should put the icon on the model you'll pull last so probably an eviscerator guy.

The stomach and legs are too muscular, but apart from that it looks pretty good. The official GW probably still looks better, though.

I hope you scale it down, because that mini is probably gigantic.

I don't know if there's really a be all end all tutorial out there, but just learning how to thin your paints correctly and properly control a brush will take you quite far. Learn to keep the brush nice and sharp, have the right amount of paint in it, thinned to the correct degree, and then the mechanical skill needed to apply it where you want will follow.

I like the mutated, grimy aspect. Nurgle stuff is easy to convert with greenstuff and milliput. The diseased skintones and mutations are fun to paint. There are lots of effects paints you can use for rusted and oxidized metal or chipping paint.

You ever hear about how nearly every make-up artist's dream is to work on a zombie movie? It feels like that. You have a lot of freedom to go wild hobby wise.

Lore wise, I like the fallen knight aspect though most Death Guard weren't given a choice. They remain loyal to their primarch. Some believe that following Nurgle is for the best and that they're in some way liberating humanity. Others don't give much thought to what they're doing or what they've become.

>how to properly wield and use an exacto knife without cutting myself
The trick is to always cut towards yourself.
>>
>>94042508

Step 1: develop your frontal lobe
Step 2: Use common sense like you would any other sharp object
Step 2.5: get a trusted adult to cut for you instead

What’s the word on Emperor’s Children getting a refresh next year? Crazy that they’re the only god-specific chaos marine faction without a Combat Patrol box
