Happy Orktober!
>>94055443>TQproper proportions are more like a set of loose suggestions than actual requirements for GW's art team and I have learned to love it
Reposting this because I think it came out nice.
>>94055477its a cool piece but wtf is going on here:
I still can't believe I live in the timeline where GW nerfed kroot and buffed battlesuits.
>>94055281so you don't know?
Whats your favourite origin for the Emperor anons?>The Emperor was just the Terran warlord to win out>The Emperor was an escaped weapon from the DAoT>The Emperor was just the easiest to control puppet of Malcador and his mysterious Sigillite order>The Emperor is a shaman hivemind born from thousands in a blood sacrifice in the pre brozen age>The Emperor is an outcast chaos god seeking revenge aganist his brothers>The Emperor never existed and its all fabrication and a culmination of the real figures that built the Imperium
>>94055498>>The Emperor is a shaman hivemind born from thousands in a blood sacrifice in the pre brozen age. him being both conan and jesus is great.this one by far.
>>94055443
>>94055493>release box set full of units with good rules>change the rules after sales pass their expected peak >announced next box set>cycle repeats
>>94055498The emperor is a actually an isekai protagonist
What is your opinion on getting filtered by the gameplay/rules of 40k and focusing on mini painting instead?
>>94055498the emprah is just a warp manifestation of humanity's collective belief in his existence
>>94055566It's fine. The hobby is honestly more fun than the game. The real purpose of the game is to give direction for the hobby and provide spectacle for you and your friends to show off your hobby work.
>built in 3" deep strike >free shot on deep strike>can take 2 melta carbines for max bullshit>90 pointsnot bad
>>94055490I think the head looks even more out of place, but yes, your detail is weird as well
>>94055508waacfags that buy minis because of their rules and not because they look cool deserve everything they get
>>94055498The emperor is just an old tired dude who wants to go back to simpler times
>>94055493They're pretty independent of one another
>>94055583no you can't take 2 melta carbines
god imagine how tight emperors skeleton ass is rn.
>>94055591>I buy things because they look cool and they get tossed into legendsThank you GW
>>94055594ohh yeah my bad, still not bad
>>94055583>we're reducing and consolidating wargear bl-
>>94055592Pretty sure the Emperor on the Throne is essentially a congealed Godhead created by the faith of untold trillions at this point and the original man is long gone. Like the Daemonifuge but writ large
space marines are too human now and have no mystery left. I need to know less about space marines.
>>94055493what changes I cant see anything on warcom?
>>94055498
>>94055622Nah emps is more like broken in pieces, just like the shards of magnus. One piece of those is the old emps.
>>94055603Use them anyway lmao.
>>94055636Silence faggot.
>>94055443How does corpsestarch taste?What are its nutritional values?
>>94055652Like protein powder.Probably quite low, just above sawdust or tofu.
>>94055634Well, that's also true considering the Star Child. I've also seen people theorize the Primarchs are all parts of his own soul as well and the bargain he made with the Chaos Gods was to help shard him.
What do meltaguns sound like
>>94055583>hot-shot long-lasSo they put an extra hot hot-shot power pack into it? Considering long-las already uses hot-shot power packs.
I genuinely hate what kill team has become. It started as a fun short narrative based game where you would kitbash heroes then your your minis save a planet or something. It specifically said it wasn't about competition play and was just for fun with friends. Now its a competitive game that they release set killteams of monopose minis for.
Fort-ish for neat terminators. Neat!
>>94055443>TQI really like this one
>>94055583Inquisitorial Agents looking at these guys, sisters of silence and death cult assassins like MMMFFF why can't I have those?
>>94055681What?
>>94055674Kill Team will always be a game that lends itself to kitbashing heroes and stuff because you have to get like 5-10 models together. Regardless of what GW shits out
>>94055667FCHWOOOM
>>94055592this is absurdly cute, saved.
65 for this is very funny
>>94055690I SAID TERMINATORS ARE NEAT!
>>94055720they dont seem bad for 65 points nice little utility unit to buzz around
>>94055667Like thishttps://youtu.be/ZLJ8PhZlso8
>>94055690>>94055636All of your models look incredibly flat
>>94055720Good thing I already had 10 of the old ones. 20 Vespid and 12 battlesuits is gonna be a fun time in the coming weeks.
Just you wait! The tankbustas kill team is coming and will make Orks great again!
>>94055720>Base weapon is 5/-2/2 Ignores Cover>Uppy-downy every turn>T4, 4+ Sv, 12" flying move, assault weapons>65 pointsAre you fucking serious GW?
>>94055731Fair. I’m pretty shit at shading, though I’ve made progress.
>>94055720This is the same price as 5 stormboyz...
>>94055746You know, a wash would help
>>94055483This looks great! Are you going to add more to it?
>>94055754And 3 stormboyz can wipe the 10 man squad in melee.
>>94055729Wasn't suggesting they were bad, most factions would take them if they could.Mandrakes are 65pts without 10 S5 AP2 D2 shooting attacks, Deep Strike, 12" FLY move, T4 and their rule is worse. They're in every list.
>>94055761The 3 vespid can wipe the stormboyz in shooting. What's your point?
>>94055757I was told not to do that because I made them too dark on older minis. Instead I’ve been tryint to keep my washes to only specific spots, like the muscle/undersuit between armour panels and stuff.
How do psilencers preform on the table top? If I get some GKs are they worth taking?
>>94055772That it comes down to the player using them and playing to their advantages. I’m still salty about MANz before their nerf so it’s gonna be at least anothe r couple months before I have any sympathy.
>>94055773you can either wash all over like you used to and then go back with your base coat and brighten up the raised surfaces that wash shouldnt be on like duncan does or just wash into recesses like your armor panels and corners
>>94055779>That it comes down to the player using them and playing to their advantages.Of which the Vespid have more, yes.
>>94055731The fact that he refuses to get a light box doesn’t help.
>>94055773Well shaken and thinned down nuln oil precisely applied with a brush you don't like (cause the bristles will turn to shit) to spots like these will make a big differenceOr you can do an all over wash and then reapply a layer of basecoat on the elevated areas to have a nice shading
>>94055720Which unit would you rather place 9" away from some space marines?>5 vespids>65 points>10 s5 AP-2 D2 attacks at 18" rangeVS>5 stormboyz>65 points>15 s4 AP-1 D1 attacks in melee (requires a 9" charge to be successful first)
>>94055779You know what, it's my bad. I was under the assumption it was 65 for 10 vespid
>>94055783But I do do the second one. Maybe I’m overthinking the wash or not going over enough of the panels after?
>>94055790I honestly missed that on him, I’ll go back over the ancient and correct that, thanks.
>>94055800Overthinning* phoneposting strikes again.
>>94055769Them being almost strictly better Mandrakes for the same price was my first thought too.
>>94055800you might need a darker wash, cause if you've recess shaded this guy these areas aren't really benefitting from it
>>94055498>>The Emperor never existed and its all fabrication and a culmination of the real figures that built the ImperiumUnironically? Wouldn't have bothered me and would fit earlier themes of the Imperium being cruelty justified by lies.
>>94055814Thanks for actual advice rather than just calling me a cunt. I’ll see what I can do. I’ve got a crusader squad on my desk now, I’ll try and do right by them.
>>94055786You don't need a light box, just put a piece of printer paper underneath and roll one behind it, you guys have printers at home, right?>>94055800If you have no paint particles left, you're defo overthinning
>>94055773learn how to value sketch that goes for all of you dumb fucks >hurr there are already natural shadowsfucking short busers
>WiP posts in 40kg helping sallyfag of all people.Weird day today.
>>94055840post models
>>94055791Stormboyz>rapid ingress in a safe spot>move in lose some to overwatch >grenade strat>do it all in the waaghVespid>land and shoot
>>94055842No, they’re even worse and I know not to post them.
I'm playing tabletop simulator by myself.
>>94055827Nice job on the mini anon
>>94055848Atleast you're being honest, but you can always post them later pretending to be someone else if you actually want some advice
>>94055840what's wrong with that? Or are you just complaining for the sake of it
>>94055857Thats nice, FaBear :^)
>>94055844Truly, 10th edition is the pinnacle of 40k's game balance.Bravo GW.
>>94055857>oh no
>>94055827I’m on year 2. Hopefully by next year I’ll have my base coats and shading down properly. Even this guy who I’m super proud of I now notice spots I missed with my shading.
Alright /40kg/, GW has asked you to write a Warhammer Romance novel. The main character has to be human but outside of that anything is game. And it has to be a ACTUAL romance novel, no grimderp tragic sadness stuff.You'll be paid $3,000,000 after the book in published.What do you do?
>>94055840It’s clear by now that he WILL continue to post them regardless. At least we can make it easier on they eyes when one slips by the filters.
>>94055880Copy paste that post into chatgpt>>94055858Thanks, I started painting this january>>94055879it looks like you need some glazing desu
>>94055873Based
>>94055592Funny that they keep propagating the shaman myth when its more likely he was just a Sigillite tube baby from the dark age of technology.Stop confusing Imperial myth for word of god, morons. There are no unbiased narrators.
>>94055891>I started painting this januaryKiller, you're doing great. I know another guy who is starting his painting journey soon, it's always nice to see new comers who are doing a good job.
>>94055503I'm pretty sure that he was never Jesus. Rather, he was Judas, the betrayer who sought to extinguish the religion that would come from the martyrdom of one of his fellow perpetuals. He was the austrian painter who wanted to unite Europe and create a race of Ubermenschen to prepare for the future, defeated by the forces of capitalism and communism, and after defeat had to fake his (and his wife Erda who was known as Eva Brown)'s death.
>>94055879The tabard looks quite nice, everything else is meh.
>>94055910Yeah, a friend of me asked me yesterday what primer I use and she told me she's going to paint her first minis this weekend. I am really excited to see the results, she's a tattoo artist.It's Death Guard
>>94055880No restrictions and no memes?Either a lesbian love-fiction of an Inquisitor Acolyte and a Sister of battle aboard a Rogue Trader's vessel; or a Commissar and Eldar having to work together on a war-torn planet that has forgotten them both, and slowly learning to look past each others differences and eventually falling in love.Personally, I'm more partial to the latter than the former, but I can write them both adequately (well, adequately to GW's standards)
>>94055879You're more confident about your painting than I am but I think you would benefit from going back to the beginner steps of painting and build solid fundies. imo
>>94055929>It's Death GuardBasado
>>94055879If we're giving genuine advice here, here's my 2 cents: I think you would greatly benefit from a greater difference in brightness between your recesses and your highlights.As it stands now, your brightest red is almost identical to your darkest red. Same goes for the green, but to a lesser extent. It makes the colors look a bit flat, especially at a glance.That said, I cannot argue that your freehanding and kitbashes are extremely nice, and add a lot to the models that the overall colors leave hanging. I find myself overlooking things I'd normally spot as an average paintjob to look at the pretty flames and details you've added.
>>94055800>>94055746>>94055773>I was told not to do that because I made them too dark on older minisYour minis are already pretty dark without them. I'm not dicking on you, and I think you should be happy with your minis, but I think if you wanted to improve them and have them be less "flat" you could try to have more value contrast. I put a BW filter on your dudes here to show you that, even though you have good color variety, most of those colors are the same brightness. A time consuming solution would be to pick either the green or the red to be the bright and vibrant one, and layer on some brighter shades to really make them pop. Lower effort would be to just highlight them more.
>>94055964The eyebrows are also a nice touch
>>94055880Sister of battle falling in love with an Inquisitor in training. He is temped by a vile seductress who turns out to be a genestealer.Book ends with a date that consists of purging the cult with a heavy flamer.
>>94055880the key to making a semi wholesome. 40k is to set it on a medieval world. Like that story of the space marine who becomes a humble farmer then later puts back on his terminator armor and wrassles a Carnifex throwing it and himself off a cliff to save the village and thinks about his farming frens as he falls. But to tell you the truth as someone who reads romance novels and BL (not the kind written by Dan Abnett) women don't actually like wholesome romance they like reading perverse tragedy followed by catharsis. If none of the characters are mentally traumatized and they don't cry while reading it won't sell.
>>94055443>last thread the cheesecake OP pic stayed up all threadDid janny get hit by a rocket?
>>94056005I am shocked with how well a book like that could sell, even outside of the 40k sphere.
>>94055583How are they not available as inquisition troops?
>>94055746>>94055983Salamander anon's style is iconic at this point, it's enjoyable recognizing him as one of the only motherfuckers around here who actually plays games.
>>94056039Just wait until he plays game AND paints beautiful minis
>>94055880Hive scum falls in love with a girl ganger and helps her kill the monster that’s been preying upon her home, after the creature is slain and the guy is hailed as a hero he is brought into her family, a genestealer cult, he gets the girl but also gets indoctrinated into the cult
>>94055880Necron lady falls in love with a Lamentor after he unwittingly "saves" her from a ork invasion. She then begins stalking him around the galaxy popping up wherever he goes and attempting to woo him regardless of the situation.
>>94056042I won’t hold my breath.
>>94056042Does anyone fall under that category?
>>94055880It's just a book about Trazyn and Cawl
>>94056039>>94056042Javier Gomez Valero has a wash-free style that is pretty recognizable and looks good. I'm not saying anon couldn't tighten up his paint jobs a little but not everything needs to be "basecoat + wash + edge highlight".
>>94056064Blue ork bro ofc
>HH has rules that allow any random squad sergeant to bring along a little robo buddySo much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned.
>>94055880Custodes and a sororitas as they try to navigate the weirdness ie him and not seeing emps as a god and her on the opposite side.
>>94055566It's an option and focus choice. I can have conversations with lorefags, artfags, vidyafags and have a good time. The only people that seem to always have a monkey on their back are the WAACfags even when waving at them coming into the LGS. In this general the modelfags are the most insufferable.
>>94056019I would Frick the big purple man
>>94055880Squad Broken
>>94055880Pygmalion the Cybernetica Tech Priest commits tech Heresy for the woman he loves: a Castellax archeotech weapon.
>>94056070Ninjon and Squidmar also don't use washes but you cannot compare a casual painter to a commission painter that won a Golden Demon
>>94056083O RLY ?
>>94055566That's what I've ended up doing. My LGS went from a decent mix of players to full on competitive types. The last time I went there was a tournament and half the players were full knight forces and the other half all had gigantic centerpiece models that seemed to be the focus of their armies.Paintings a lot of fun and I really haven't taken the time to appreciate it compared to other aspects of the hobby.
>>94056101How tragic.
>>94056100Not that one tho
>>94056093>ninjon>squidmarI hate both of those motherfuckers
>>94055760When I paint more models. Got some Deathwatch, Agents and a canis rex to finish up currently and I paint like one every week or two. I got a little greenscreen board to set up shots like this with my terrain.
>>94053513Is this box rare or something? They have one at my LGS, right next to a box of the QuestorisIs there any difference between the two other than age?
>>94056005i want it.>>94055880cain/amberly date night book please
>>94056126The instruction manual is very nice and they have the old school box art on the back that advises you on what paints to buy
>>94056093I've heard Vincie V say he doesn't either. Something about how it defies lighting logic to have darkness in every recess.
>>94056134But physically the sprues and shit are the same right? Neat.
>>94056126Questoris box is just the canis rex box without the sprue. Get the most recent box, the older ones have less not more (but might be cheaper)
>>94055465I'm not ready for another nothingtober
>>94056073>no servo skulls>no CATS>the even took our fucking servitors Why do they do this shit
>>94056143without the sprue? What sprue do you mean?
>>94055443This image looks great, but knowing what's going on ruins it. On the left you have Cato Sicarius and the new hotness Inquisitor facing off against a "generic" exalted sorcerer. HMMM wonder who will win that fight? The battle is THE POSTER BOYS of the setting on Luna facing off in a battle people have already forgotten about, who will win? Finally on the right side you have two of the main characters, two dudes with agency over the setting, except one of them cannot be permanently killed... Boy I wonder who will win THAT fight? This is a big problem with TSONS (and the traitor legions) in that its Magnus, Ahriman and... Basically no one else named or to care about. But also with 40k, there isn't drama because no one can win or change significantly. So not only do we know the outcome of all this conflict we know it can never go anywhere or mean anything.In order to SELL the little plastic man at 60$ the little plastic man has to be: "AHRIMAN, SORCEROR OF THE THOUSAND SONS, STAR OF 9 NOVELS AND WITH THE ABILITY TO CAST MAGIC IN THE WARGAME. Ahriman is a CHARACTER!" But in order to continue the brand that is Ahriman, Ahriman can only be explored and never die or change. It's like how LotR, one of the greatest stories of all time, cannot really be a franchise.
>>94055465I think you mean lieutenantober freind
>>94056151Tankbustas coming soon! Trust the process anon!!
I just watched the official loremaster video about the tau.It said that the majority of the tau are as strong as an Imperial guard grunt.Then why are they bad at melee combat?
>>94056155i like this comic but the artist makes porn and it reminds me of it aaa.
>>94056173Lack of training and they have slower reflexes. Also they don’t have bayonets.
about to paint my first model
Crusader or paladin for a house taranis knight in a mars admech army
>>94056173Tau have always been said to be slightly smaller and weaker than a healthy human. But beyond that they're the designated "reasonable" faction which means the idea of bringing knife to a railgun fight was unthinkable to them up untill the first fire warrior took a chainsword to the face
>>94056189The art in the codex shows them charging into battle with knives.
>>94056164While I agree that I don't really like named characters, why does it matter "who wins"?
>>94056195nice, post the result
>>94056195What is it anon? I'm just sitting down to start the Lt. from the Indomitus Box.
>>94056204>slightly smaller and weaker than a healthy human.Smaller but you won't find anything that says weaker. All you will find is that they are on the same strength level as a guardsman. Considering that a guardsmen receives physical training, that makes the average tau stronger than the average civilian human
>>94056182He doesn't actually do any explicit art beyond maybe one or two pics with exposed nips.
>>94056204Also, it depends on the caste. An air caste t'au is never going to be able to defeat a normal human, no matter how fit the air caste t'au is, since they have spindly limps and bones. The only t'au strong and fit enough to take on a human is a fire caste t'au.
>>94056201if its admech I think the cerastus forge world stuff looks more admechy. the knights have their own aesthetic that I associate with space bretonnians now.
>>94056228Hmm, he has the one skyrim comic about the dragonborn becoming the lusty argonian maid and banging her way across skyrim.
>>94056207Those are ritual bonding knives they use in a bloodletting ceremony to bind one another as brothers, handy in a pinch but not as useful as a purpose made bayonet or sword.
What should the vespid stingwings really be priced at? I'd say they'd be more fair at around 85 points for 5.
>>94056173Game balance and play-style variety is probably the most realistic answer.
So are Cadians no longer the poster boys of the guard? It seems to have shifted to Krieg.
>>94056114
>>94056237yes but there is never any actual sex or exposed genitals shown
>>94056223it might take a while...>>94056224A nuDread
>>94056257Your first mini is a dread? That's a mistake.
i can just play what i want and what looks cool to me? and no one will try to kill me?
>>94056257>First Mini is a DreadYou're either really brave or really crazy. Or both.
>>94056263>i can just play what i want and what looks cool to me?Yes>and no one will try to kill me?Compfags will wipe the floor with you, but why would you want to play with them anyways.
>>94056241Can it cut a Drukhari?
Can GKs really not take apothecaries?
>Want to buy a chaos knight cause its a cool looking model>LGS only has imperial knightsAww man
>>94056247Cadians are still the default Guard. Krieg are just the new (in plastic at least) kids on the block with all their shovel memes.Hopefully we get some other regiments updated.Catachans desperately need it.Bring back Mordian Iron Guard!And Vostoryans!And Elysians!
>>94056284Or power armor?
>>94056298and the Tallarnand literally any other guard that has a cool-ass aesthetic
>>94056247Most guard regiment look like Cadians superficially, but use Krieg style tactics.
What codex would you run corrupted sisters of battle with? I feel like doing slaanesh and just kitbashing the arms and heads of a sister with daemonette parts
>>94056247Cute Cadian. Too bad you'd be flogged if someone noticed you staring.
>>94056307Tallarn are markedly racist. They all have Arabic names and they are very backward when it comes to worshipping the Emperor.
>>94056310why not use nurgle for fat corpulent rotten pustule-heavy greenish corrupted sisters of battle?
>>94056269>>94056262i like dreadsafter the dread is a knight
>>94056310Aren't daemonettes a good bit smaller than the new sisters?
>>94056321So perfect for 40k
>>94056329Diazmonettes, sure. But the newer sculpts are going to fit just fine with the scale of Sisters.
Is this a good start to a Haemonculus Covens army?$1500 dollars seems a little steep for a 2k army.Going to use the Crypt Haunters to convert some Grotesques.
>>94056310A year ago there was a WD with Crusade rules for running corrupted Imperial factions. You get to telegraph their fall through the campaign rules. All Imperial armies can use these rules except for the Sisters of Silence, Custodes, and Grey Knights.
>>94056325bate
>>94056362whats with that sister scheme
>>94056247Sadly no
>>94055443I am only making slow progress but I really prefer the wargear placement on the leftside modelI’d really like an updated chimera with the same chassis but a slightly bigger turret and a proper missile pod and remote controlled stubber
>>94056247>It seems to have shifted to Krieg.Fake news, chudster
>>94056340Bro, do not buy from warhammer themselves, you can safe 20% by buying from retailers
>>94055880I'm hijacking Anon's idea from a few threads back: human girl is kidnapped during Deldar raid and becomes a lusted after pet of her space vampire pirate captor, who savagely consumes her, but is also her defender in thw histile, alien and sex-intrigue filled Commorragh. I'll make thia a 17 parts series and become a multi millionaire off the backs (and cream) of sexually frustrated women aged 15-40.
>>94056362I would frick the big lady
>>94056093>>94056135All 3 of these have used washes multiple times on camera before. The fuck are you talking about?
>people claiming that in The Rose in the Darkness there are shotacon sistersHas anyone here read it and can confirm?
>>94056340Please just use third party if you’re paying that much
>>94056463Guy just looks dejected and limp>>94056340lol
why did gw split the questoris box into multiple boxes? what’s the point if all their descriptions say they can build every questoris knight?
>>94056402For real, just look around or just use eBay, you can usually find shit way cheaper65$ for space marines on GW or 45$ on eBay
>>94056438Painting secondaries love to watch one video by a creator and then will just paraphrase the content as though they know what they're talking about
>>94056482It's always about xmas wishlists. Having all of the different names on the webstore means when grandma goes online to find little Timmy's "knight paladin" or "knight warden" she can find it easily and they still make the sale.
>>94056504>painting secondarieswhat the fuck does this even mean

>>94056438Showing how to use them properly and to good effect doesn't mean they personally like to use them, especially if it's on a single high effort model.
>>94056529I can link you a video of vince using a wash for his golden daemon entry if you want. Its a basic painting tool.

>>94056524People who consume miniature painting media, but don't paint. Generally they're the ones in the thread suggesting unrealistic things to absolute beginners like glazed highlights, oil washes, volumetric highlighting, nmm, osl, etc. It's also usually them suggesting someone thin their paints when the issue with someone's model is overthinned paints/not enough layers. It's pretty easy to notice them once you know about them
>>94056574ive slept with several virgin boys. they might not be good at it but the dick knows the way.
>>94056582oh okay, havent' seen that one. I stopped watching him completely after that cope video
>>94056529
>>94056438Ofc they use them, they also use drybrushing but they dont use them on every model, especially not on their high quality display stuffare you autistic?
>>94056595>I stopped watching him completely after that cope videoDamn thats crazy, who asked
>>94056606>especially not on their high quality display stuffthis>>94056582is a golden daemon entry he made.Can you please shut the fuck up already

>>94056601>>94056537"I just don't like washes. I don't like the effect they have, I don't like what they do to the miniature. I use washes all the time on stuff like basing. The problem is, I don't know the appropriate place where you would ever use a wash is. On a miniature, it's just not how like works. It almost always just makes every recess darker, and that's just not how light works."https://youtu.be/AKDwDyY8mmY?si=U6vosqsIw_CgfIyD&t=796

>>94056718The newest hotness is always the worst one because people all jump on the boat quickly without painting them. But somehow Tau always seems to be the one most commonly left unpainted in my experience. Orks have the least problem with this. Statistically though Space Marines obvious will have the most unpainted armies by absolute number if not necessarily by percentage.
>>94056716empwah, the master of mankind and herald of order vs. nemesis the warlock of chaos, who gives up first after their 10 trillion year long psychic superbattle that takes them beyond time and space?
>>94056718you mean which is the hardest/most tedious to paint? Probably admech and tsons
>>94056717There's a difference between something being unrealistic for an absolute beginner, and someone whose painted for a while ESLkun. Also I love playing with people who have nicer minis than me because I get to ask them how they painted their dudes
>>94056718I never understad nid people that do not paint their minissince they are animalistic beasts you get away with just priming two coats, shading, overbrushing, drybrushing and filling in some eyes on every miniature since they do not have any details like equipment and yet people just don't do it
>>94056740>Played first game since 9th with someone who locals >It was unpainted tau
>>94056746Harlequins would like a word.And that word is "Codex" which they seem to have been deprived of.

Behold, my latest inspiration for a Warhammer 40k army
>>94056718Have seen more utterly destroyed tau armies and guard armies than anything else. Have seen multiple guardfags using the same only basecoats cadians since 7th, and seen multiple primer only tau armies featuring fw resin and 3d prints that are also primer only
>>94056718I have never in my life played against a fully painted custodes or knights army.
>>94056746>Tfw admech was the army I first started with painting and I loved painting all the extra bullshit >Learn everyone hates painting them but I just got used to needing to paint a million modelsPraise to the omnisiah
>>94056754What is unrealistic for an absolute beginner in your opinion?Telling people to clean their brush, thin their paints, be precise when doing their base coats, fix mistakes, shake washes, thin them too and then using the edge of a brush with barely any paint to do highlights is super basic and something every beginner who doesn't have toddler arms should be able to do I agree that oil washes aren't basic, blending isn't basic, freehanding isn't basic but most advice, especially today in this very thread wasn't basic>>94055827>>94055814Compare these two
>>94056718eldar and tau
>>94056746>admech>tsonslmao I've started a tsons army not too long ago after painting admech for over a year.>>94056791same man, I really enjoy picking out all the details even if it takes forever sometimes
>>94056716I wish. Guilliman & Co are not like this enough.
>>94056776so.. pink/white/brown/black? good color combo
>>94056797>Telling people to clean their brush, thin their paints, be precise when doing their base coats, fix mistakes, shake washes, thin them too and then using the edge of a brush with barely any paint to do highlights is super basic and something every beginner who doesn't have toddler arms should be able to doIf you spent more time on your duolingo streak you would have noticed that in this post>>94056589 I didn't mention any of those things, did I? Everything I believe to be unrealistic for beginners is outlined in that post. Anything not included is fairly reasonable for beginners to figure out on their own in time by painting their models
>>94056790I am always impressed by how fast you dish out your absolutely stunning miniatures>>94056791>friend plays necrons>every single model is just primed with leadbelcher, overbrushed with leadbelcher, drybrushed with iron hands, detailed with screaming bell, shaded with lahmian mixed nuln oil and then filled in with tesseract glow>they look fucking amazingI am so jealous, while I tediously fill in leather equipment, different clothes add edge highlights etc on a single mini, he finishes a whole squad
>>94056835Aside from some mistakes like using a gloss wash instead of a regular on cloth and non metallics I'm happy with them Maybe I should finally finish hitting 2k points since I'm getting back into the game
>>94056852Corrupted nuns
>>9405672040kg from a few days ago.It was brought up that in the new-ish Rogue Trader game it's possible to romance the Dark Eldar companion, and that despite said 'romance' being him literally torturing the player character to near death, apparently women love him and there's quite a bit of fan art about him with female player characters in romantic (and often bloody) situations.It was then discussed that Dark Eldar would legitimately fill numerous criteria for the cheap 'romance' novels lonely women read and write.
Eldar are such failures as elves
>>94056797>Compare these twoHow do you mean? They’re at pretty different points in development. The ultramarine is decent but very lackluster aside from the sowed which is quite nice. The jump marine is missing some shading but has a lot of variety in terms of what’s being done with it.
>>94056298yeah we need to bloat the guard pool as much as the marine pool
>>94056862I just love these weird fuckers, admech were the thing that finally got me into tabletop I also remember someone telling me GKs are awful to paint because all the extra random shit they have even though that's one of my favorite parts is writing fake script on books and purity seals
>>94056891The people who complain about models having too many details tend to not enjoy painting as a whole and also tend to be on the lower end of the painting skill spectrum in my experience

>>94056906that is true, often times they have an awful lot to say about painting though
>>94056911Looks pretty divided to me.
>>94056890I mean, you basically just need to add different upgrade spruces for the vehicles, a command squad for every guard faction, one infantry box / kill team and gun crewsyou know, like we used to haveyou could actually sell all the guns without crew and require people to pay extra for the crew of their armydamn James should hire me
>>94056906I'm dogshit at painting but it's the most fun part for me, I always compare my models to like professional painters and say there not good enough, but when I see all the boys together its fucking awesome
>>94056948>I mean, you basically just need to add different upgrade spruces for the vehicles, a command squad for every guard faction, one infantry box / kill team and gun crews>you know, like we used to have>you could actually sell all the guns without crew and require people to pay extra for the crew of their armySorry anon, I read all that and all I took out of it was "we need more Primaris lieutenants"

>>94056929I looked at using contrasts for my Cadians, but all the results I saw online looked super matte
>>94056981You want your guys shiny?
>>94056929Still seething that you were wrong huh
Picked these up for next to nothing from a regular at my LGS, is this all the rules material I need to actually play or am I missing something from the regular core rulebook?

>>94057061You're telling me this ain't contrast? Were you trying to emulate the look or something lol
>>94057040Just podcasts now, but at one point I did listen to Children of the Omnissiah on repeat while painting. It's good background noise.

>tq The 9th edition admech codex art was the most kino shit
>>94057229I consider them reliable and new corsairs is wonderful newsI'm still mad about the absence of karandras though
>>94057148It’s a lot of surface area and it takes a long time, in the mean time people still want to get games in. I deliberately use my unpainted stuff sometimes in order to shame myself into painting them so that the next time I use them they’ll be good.

>>94057229I don't believe it for a second, there's now way GW would make a wave that big for a faction that's doing literally nothing in the setting.
>>94057280Are you using contrasts?
>>94057261>deliberately use my unpainted stuff sometimes in order to shame myself into painting them so that the next time I use them they’ll be goodIf this works for you it can be a powerful force to help you push through an army. I do think that you're in the minority of people it actually works for tho given what your average 40k army looks like
>>94057280If you’re using contrast you need to get some contrast medium to thin it. The brushstrokes are painfully visible. It’s your first model so don’t stress too much but you have an uphill battle friendo.
>>94057157RT era IG helmets were pretty much marine helmet without the beaky mask. Slight differences, but overall a very similar design with the pointy brow, ear pieces, the single optic on the left side, etc.
>>94057294Do you actually need medium for contrast paints? Is it the same for shit like army painter speed paints? I've tried them but only used water to thin but never liked how it looks and couldn't get anything consistent
>>94057229Looks believable enough. It's not like they have anything else to do. 40k is complete save for both kinds of eldar
>>94057280You're going to find getting solid coats on flat panels using contrast to be pretty frustrating as a beginner. But have fun anon, first ones always special
>>94057293It is a nice treat when I get to play against another fully painted army. I think a lot of people get paralyzed trying to make their minis “perfect”. Which I respect but shit bro there’s only so much time and it’s just plastic. As long as you’re always trying to do better it doesn’t matter if some models in the army are uglier.Hell some of my staple units make me cringe Cus I painted them a long time ago and my process has changed since then and my skill improved.

>>94057313Medium allows the paint to behave the same as contrast out of the pot while dialing back the pigmentation. Adding water will cause it to pool and coffee stain on your flats as it will dry faster. Unthinned contrast or contrast thinned via medium holds onto its moisture for longer because the water has a harder time evaporating from the thicker paint
>>94055443I am running a narrative campaign with some friends with a little story we write after each session, but I am having a hard time with the main plot point, why are we fighting. We have >world eaters>blood angels>orks>necrons>daemons>guardMy orginal plan was the blood angels take a sword relic that once belonged to Sanguinius, it's hilt contains a drop of his blood in a red tear drop jewel, to a Cardinal World were millions of pilgrims come to pray to it. The World Eaters see this as a great opportunity to steal the sword and corrupt it to Khorne, with the blood of such an important primach its easy favour points.Now the trouble is, why do orks and necrons care? I was thinking orks maybe want the sword to cause the Imperium to come after them for the fighting but that sounds dumb

>>94057323>I think a lot of people get paralyzed trying to make their minis “perfect”.I think most people go through a phase of this, and for better or worse never move on from that feeling. Some of those people become monster painters but a lot more get burned out and just stop painting
>>94057345Orks heard there was a fight and decided it sounded fun. If they take the gubbin then the beakies will want to fight them more. Necrons just want the kids off their lawn and want to destroy the relic so they have no reason to stick around.

Why does it take so long to paint minis.
Is 3d printing hardThinking about getting into it for minis
>>94057345Orks should be the easiest one here.>FOIGHTIN? WIFFOUT US?Or better yet, have them there looking for loot.
>>94057421It's not, but it's not as cheap as some would lead you to believe. There's a BIG return on investment if you get a good printer and a pile of resin then have no real troubleshooting problems, but it takes effort and time.
>>94057421I dunno that it's hard, but it's a lot of bullshit to get dialed in before your minis are passable.
>>94057371Tell me about it. I feel bad for introducing my Fiancé’s brother to 40K Cus he has a box with like 2k armies he bought after planning them out, but he’s only painted like a couple squads of rubrics, some chaos spawn proxies, and a sorcerer.He’ll start painting a unit only to get frustrated and take forever to knock out even a handful of dudes.
>>94057411It doesn't really take that long if you set yourself up for success and make efficient use of all the tools/techniques available to painters
>>94057345Necrons don't have warp travel so they kinda have to be in the system already, make it a tomb world on the moon or something
>>94057345>OrksThere's a good fight, willing to play any side that pays them enough>NecronsTomb World woke up from all the ruckus, also trying to set up their Pylon network so they piss of chaos as much as they piss up imperials

>>94057439Hidden or undetected dolmen gate on a moon or something, bam, Necrons have a way in.
>>94057439Necrons have non-warp FTL, also dolmen gates
>>94057421there's a bit of a learning curveand the entry cost is more than just the printer and resinyou need a washing setup and a curing setup, you can build your own for slightly cheaper but it'll cost you around 50 dollars extra on averageyou also need a fuckton of disposable gloves and isopropyl alcoholand you need either a good enclosure with easy venting outside or a room you can keep it in that people won't be in oftenbut overall to print good quality you just need to use the universal support settings on a very popular youtube video, turn on anti-aliasing and print at .025mm layers and you'll get cleaner models than modern forgeworld
>>94057435Might be worth it to sit down with him and have a painting play date. When he gets frustrated you can help him right away so that frustration doesn't sit and stew, and become something that feels impossible for him

>>94057448Not a printer anon, but you need your room setup to release the stink outside, you need to get your printer settings dialed for the type of resin you choose, need to learn how to troubleshoot supports and print failures, you need your washing station setup, your curing station setup. It's a lot of shit to get to the same point you'd be at just pulling stuff out of a box, and none of it is hard, but there's a lot of it and most of it is fiddly and kind of a pain
>>94057461We did for a while every now and then but it’s been a few months since last we sat in. It’s about time for another one though you’re right. I’ve got a couple batch paint jobs in the offing and it’ll get him out of the house where he doesn’t have much room to work.
My mate and I are going to be getting in to 40k with a combat patrol each, he's getting aeldari I'm getting world eaters and we're trying to figure out paints for the two, he's got a black and reddy-orange colour scheme in mind and I'm intending to go typical red and brass, are there any ways to preview colour schemes/specific paints, or anywhere for recommendations for given colour schemes?
>>94057474You should read your codex and the core rules
>>94057474Soul drinkers.
>>94057492Just look up tutorials for the colours your working towards and then pickup some paints from your lgs that closest match that. Your first models will not look like the box art or even the tutorial you're following so be prepared for that

>>94057647Use airbrushes, washes, drybrushing, glazes whatever tools and techniques you have that are faster for you or can eliminate additional/later steps. Use them in such a way that limits how often you need to go back and fix things, as well as use them in a workflow that allows you to clean up or hide mistakes with your later steps. Also accept a certain level of imperfection. Obviously go back and clean up any egregious mistakes, but if you want to go fast, ignoring the things that you won't notice at tabletop distance will speed things up significantly.

Isstvanians are such a silly bunch of goobers.
>>94057721He picked random stuff
>>94055498>The Emperor is a shaman hivemind born from thousands in a blood sacrifice in the pre bronze ageThis one by far. I like the idea and the implications of old shamans reincarnating. It also doesn't even necessarily conflict with modern canon of him uniting perpetuals in the ancient era. The big difference between him and them is that he's artificial: a creation of shamans who saw their ability to reincarnate hampered by ever growing daemonic power who all decided to pool their might into one almighty immortal psyker. It also plays into and explains some of his more schizo moments pre-Heresy and the constant fracturing of his mind post-Heresy. He has his own mind and all the spirits of the shamans don't necessarily control him, but they do linger in his mind. Something like a combination of Aang being able to commune with his past lives, the bickering personalities of Alien X, and TFS's version of Piccolo with Kami and Nail still in his head. And all the splintered parts of his psyche are basically individual or small groups of shaman spirits breaking off from the Emperor's own soul.>>94055922He's implied to have been many great figures of the past. Either Jesus or one of his disciples, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and probably others like the Buddha. He didn't always want to eradicate religion. Used the right way it could have guided humanity into uniting. But it clearly didn't.
>>94057727nobody likes fighting against any of those armies, even when you're winning against them it's never fun
>>94057740>Current state and prosperityIsstvanians are certifiably insane and drank too much of the Imperial Koo-Aid.
>>94057721NTA It’s an unconventional opponent and makes you play to the limit of your ability. A well piloted tau army is brutal to play against and you’ll have to work for any win. A poorly run tau army will fall apart pretty easily and give you a delightful thrill of revenge.
>>94057668>implying anon can't enjoy the shooting gallery enemy'Nids have more variety than they used to anyway, lots of big bugs.

>>94057676You've never fought Kult of Speed. Those gits can SHOOT.
>>94057779I don't play as or versus nids but I was reading people talk about their codex in leddite, "we don't really do much damage but we're good at sitting in objectives so we win by scoring" was by and large my takeaway, so I was just wondering if it was truly fun to faceI'd like to hear what nid players in here have to say if there's any
>>94057746>Used the right way it could have guided humanity into uniting. But it clearly didn't.It makes his atheism slightly less cringe if, in canon, he's supposed to be the one who invented those religions anyway.>I can't believe I thought those hippy losers would save humanity, fuck it where's my fedora
>>94057721Every Tau player I've gone against has run cool combined arms lists, all the WAACfags moved on from them years ago
>>94057754Yup, went up against a guard tankspam list with knight support. Just died for 3 hours while I sat on objectives with infantry he couldn't contest the OC of. I won by like 20 VP but was bored the whole time>>94057793I feel this after they nerfed necron durability into the ground and turned them into a teleport spam meme army
>>94057708This has taken me like 4 hours. I'm trying to be neat but still making mistakes, and I dislike the amount of fiddling about there is with airbrushes.
>>9405777650% of the time it works every time.
>>94057796There's something so silly about buggies being on bases, they can stand fine on their own.
>>94057796I actually did, my first match game. Was fun.
>>94057831I like it. Calibrating airbrushes is a time sink most people don't think about, after I bought mine my productivity went in the shitter for about a month or two.
>>94057740So they're like the Future War Cult of the Imperium?

>>94057940Like describing making a sandwich taking a long time because you have to find the right knife
>>94057809It would certainly make sense. Every few centuries a new warlord or messiah pops up somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that he was most, if not all, of humanity's religious founders as well as a fair few of our great conquerors>Jesus or a disciple>Buddha>Moses>Muhammad>Julius Caesar>Napoleon>Alexander the Great
>>94057833I debated not using the bases but honestly they grew on me. Makes the army look a bit more uniform with everything on a base.Trukks and wagons are big enough to justify them not having one but the buggies ride that line of "small enough to have a base'
>>94057880Yes and no. It's faster and better looking, but not as much of either as youtube videos would lead you to believe.For me the main benefit is the smooth finish it can create in a way that's literally impossible for a brush.>>94057929>never used an airbrush
>>94057989I have multiple. If you're really feeling like its a time sink, you're just fucking up and not paying attention. The only real issue is when you put a new paint through it thats just garbage through one and you get some clogging, but I just throw my nozzle in iso and hey presto next time I use it all good.
>>94057966okay paintlet

>>94057809Emperor being an atheist is just BL retards projecting their own beliefs onto him. He was not anti-religion before. In 2e the Imperial Cult was already a thing and more than just WB belonged to it. The Ecclesiarchy was born from one of the cults running everyone else out and declaring themselves the true religion, then bullied the High Lords into accepting them as the state religion.
>>94058023>The Ecclesiarchy was born from one of the cults running everyone else out and declaring themselves the true religion, then bullied the High Lords into accepting them as the state religion.This is still the case. The newer SoB codices still cover fluff of the Temple of the Saviour Emperor.
>>94057739Uwot
>>94055498>>The Emperor was an escaped weapon from the DAoT>The Emperor is a shaman hivemind born from thousands in a blood sacrifice in the pre brozen ageEither one of those, any other theory is clearly bullshit, he can't be a human as anyone can visit his room and see a giant with massive psychic powers far beyond any other psyker in history that is sitting there for 10k years
>>94057957It sure takes a while to get through some of the trim and other tedious details but there's a lot of really fun ones waiting for you at the end.

>>94058151>rent free
>>94058112Sometimes it's fun to put your own spin on a preexisting chapter.
>>94058082I'm closing in on like a dozen painted armies at this point and all but 1 of them were with an airbrush in some capacity (merely because my first I didn't have one)If you're having trouble, its your issue. Its not like proonting or whatever where there's some careful fine tuning and fucking around with settings and supports and shit. Airbrushes are child's play.
>>94058201>I swear I have models >n-no I can't post them because...>just because okay
>>94058210You didn't ask me to. You hit your head?
>>94058216So nomodels?
>>94055778at best you're plinking off 1 or 2 wounds and you're better off with another generic grey knight strike dude for another 4 dice in melee since the gunner gets a CCW instead, Either way your GK strike squad are more oriented towards objectives so what you see in chaosgate can only happen in the tabletop when they close the distance against basic infantry
>retard buys more models than he can paint>sells them already assembled for half priceHow do I stop doing this
>>94058256stop buying more models than you can paint
>>94058256Address why you are buying too much. Are you overestimating how much you'll be able to paint, buying for buying sake (consooming), falling for fomo, ect. If you can understand why you're doing it, stopping will be much easier.

So since Imperial Agents souped a bunch of armies together, what’s the next one to get souped in 10th? My bet is harlequins, or Monogod legions getting souped pack into CSM. Honestly, I love souping. :) it’s so fun! I can’t wait until GW soups everything together except for the 7489281 million canon space marine chapters all with special supplements :)
>>94058325feel free to post the current harlequin codex
>>94058306I know this is bait but that’s actually a pretty good deal. The only thing you should throw out is the brushes. Just buy cheaper ones from another brand.

Do you keep your paints and tools in a toolbox? I'm thinking about buying one and decorating it with battle sister pinup art stickers
>>94058447I wish it was different. I wish a single xenos army could have enough fans to expect support outside of “they’re the ones space marines beat up this edition, expect a refresh”. Tau is the only one that’s close, but I don’t play Tau. >>94058454It shouldn’t be that way

>>94058614Ultimately, Space Marines can't subsidize the Xenos races forever. They're just not popular, and have been given plenty of chances to become so. The simple fact of the matter is that the vast majority of the 40k audience doesn't care.Necrons were unpopular, they got some peronality, and thus they got saved. Eldar were unpopular, and have been unpopular forever, same with Dark Eldar, so they naturally get less focus.Nidfags had a modicum of popularity and took their role as a punching bag for Marines properly, and they got a more diversified codex and a spinoff codex. Sisters were metal and >>>"fine"cast for ages but enough people showed interest for GW to reward them with a pretty well received (if ungodly expensive) line. Eldar and Tau just can't quite get that popularity and are only ever really popular when they're made purposefully OP.You can't expect the popular parts of the setting to prop up the trash forever.
Why do retards on Ebay think their single unit bladeguard vet (on sprue) is worth $22 plus $5 shipping?
>>94058688>spehss mehreens can’t subsidize you forever, chuddie :) >google GW’s profit margin>28.6%Yeah I think you’re full of shit
>>94058702>Google the profit margin created by selling Marinesyeah, exactlyTaudar are essentially diversity hires at this point leeching off of the factions doing work
>>94058701because some retard might bite and they lose nothing by waiting
>>94058702NTA, I think dropping the Xenos races is a bad idea, because you'll end up in the same death spiral that old Warhammer Fantasy was in. And then, when everyone laments its death, we can just point to dumbass posts about how "Space Marines can't subsidize Xenos forever" as part of why it failed.
>>94058747Im a zoomer who joined in 8th, mind explaining the WHFB death spiral to someone uninformed?
>>94057290Yep>>94057313Cheers, Didn't know about that. Learn something new every day. I'll do that with my future units.>>94057389Well, if I'm going to cock up something, might as well have it be my first one.>>94057322Yes, it's hell. But it's fun despite the challenge.I've done a basecoat of gunmetal underneath and now I just need to leave it to dry overnight and go over it with a slightly thinned black for the look that I want. I also made a guy out of the spare marine parts in my Predator kit for a corpse on the base.
>>94058709Proofs? With them barely getting products I can't imagine GW spends anything remotely significant on them for production and marketing.
>>94058688I think you vastly, vastly underestimate the popularity of Xenos. Necrons, Tyranids and Orks combined outsell the Space Marine (loyalist) factions. With a similar number of new models produced for them in total per edition. Tau is also quite popular these days.
>>94058688why does horus heresy sell less than 40k?it has more marines and less xenos, shouldn't it sell more than 40k due to that?
>>94058763Chaoswank went into extremes when faggots, both in and oit of GW began insisting they somehow needed to to invest more and more into all the factions related to Chaos. Non-chaos & adjacent but popular factions began being neglected, because they were neglected people stopped buying them (after all they already had all the models they needed) until those factions were essentially left to rot. Major amongst these are Bretonnia, who got their last update in lmao 6th edition (which was already their downfall) and Goblins, who GW literally forgot existed during 8th and the End Times. Seriously, they forgot to include the gobbos at all in the fuck off huge campaigns of the ET.
If Xenos are the problem, why isn't Horus Heresy more popular than 40k?
>>94058803Power armor saturation, model arr rook same and >resin.

>>94058817I liked Chaos. Chaos Warriors were my favorite unit in the game and pic related and the metal Archaon on Dorghar were my favorite models in the entirety of WFB. Shoving Chaos into everything makes the others factions lose their identity and makes Chaos boring in turn because ot doesn't have it's *thing* anymore.
>>94058801orcs were the first 8th edition armybook, receiving 3 plastic kits and multiple resin models, and that was right after getting a wave of models at the tail end of 7th ed.beastmen were arguably the second most neglected army after bretonnia, so the chaoswank narrative doesn't hold up either, that sounds like something someone whose sole interaction with warhammer was arguing with spergs on /tg/ would think was a thing.
>>94058827At least one of those is definitely not tidy
>>94058845Are you neglecting that they shoved Orcs into chaosfaggotry?
>>94058817kill yourself cuckrnac
>>94058850The fuck are you on about?
>>94058843That's an AoS model.
>>94058861Muh incarnate of beasts
Has looking at a single unit from another faction ever made you question your army choice? Holy fuck this thing is so cool.
>>94058763tl;drWHFB had too much bloat for too little factions, and GW neglected the other factions up to and including the End Times in favor of those armies that sold well because they were the only ones getting attention.And then we had AoS, which left a bad taste in peoples' mouths despite the relative success.
>>94058848Stop trying to be subtle.
>>94058840It's gsw, they have a couple different modules. I don't usually buy their stuff but the racks were on sale in the online hobby store I buy from
Tips for making fun 1k pts armies?
>>94058864Compatible and popular with armies that use the 8th edition minis. But fine anon, you owned me.
>>94058898Play 5th edition.
>>94058898No skew. Highlander style for non-battleline units. Lots of variety. No single unit over 250 points of your army. Minimize named characters.
>>94058916>Compatible and popular with armies that use the 8th edition minis.Sure, but how could you consider that model your favourite model during warhammer fantasy before that model was even released?it must have been this model, surely
>>94058468I use makeup racks from amazon and MDF stands. A lot of the space on my desk is taken up by the airbrush so it can get cramped
>>94055498>The Emperor was just the Terran warlord to win out>The Emperor was an escaped weapon from the DAoTMy headcanon is that the emperor was a perpetual without any special powers, gained his first burst of psychic powers in the DaoT, leveraged them to win out in the Terran Unification, and then got another power boost when he made a deal with the Chaos Gods.
Why aren't the fat bloated nobles purged for being disgusting hedonite heretics?
>>94055498>Whats your favourite origin for the Emperor anons?Malcador is the real conglomerations of ancient shamans, the golden emperor is some kind of psychic construct he made during old night.
so what is the difference in use on the table between deathleaper, lictors, and neurolictors?just getting started, and they seem kind of like tech pieces. are they meant to be assassins? how do you use these guys?
>>94059038because money is stored in the adipocytes
>>94058973Because I mind farted
>>94059038As long as they're not eating all the tithes the Imperium does not care
>>94059038Because they do their job.
>>94058929Skew?
>>94058927Why fifth over fourth?
>>94059069They’re action monkeys and forward deployed assasins/cheap oc. Forward deploy, keep them out of a fight, or at least trade upwards a bit thanks to they or abilities since they can mulch most other skirmish troops that don’t do mortals on the charge or have scary overwatch. Fights first and damage 2 are a good combo after all.
has anyone done a version of one of the pre-8th editions but updated it with all the new armies and units that have been added since then?
>>94059163There was an attempt but it collapsed under its own autism and ineptitude.
>>94059131what about the neurolictor? that one seems a bit different. is it more of a battleshock harasser? i know they were really popular a while back but i dont know why
>>94059163Dunno ask /hhg/
>>94059096Skew meaning something like stacking all vehicles and no infantry or oops all terminators or running a massive horde of the same unit.Basically any kind of list that could invalidate multiple of your opponents units if they are running a more balanced list.It's not that skew lists are necessarily good or powerful, they can just feel bad because players can have units that don't really do anything against you.
>>94059252>want to play old rules with new units>go ask the game thats all classic space marineswat
>>94058525Before seeing this photo I would have accused you of living like a swine because of your sloppy painting, as a hyperbolized jab. But you actually do live like a swine and now I'm kinda sad for you.
>>94058525>>94059291Oh yeah, we're pigsty postin tonight.
>>94059285Am I going to look this up, and find out that there's a significant price difference between these two products, anon?
New thread:>>94059327>>94059327>>94059327
>>94059310Yours is an artistic chaos with clear respect for your tools. His is a mess.
>>94059171Neurolictors are a bit like a Tau Ghostkeel where it gets to deploy on a no man's land objective and requires a disproportionate effort for an opponent to claim. So either you dedicate forces to get close to kill it and potentially be vulnerable to a counterattack or the Tyranid player gets free primary. Granted Secret Missions make it easier to cede primary VPs.
>>94055498DAOT bioweapon. Anything that isn't perpetual is fine. My theory is John grammaticus was written for the Legion book and Abnet didn't think through the implications. Perpetuals fucking suck.
>>94056101Brother anon, if they had full knight forces it was not a competitive list. Knights suck competitively.
>>94058525>>94059310dont these two dudes have wifes? surely they wouldve nagged the fuck outta them to do something about it by now
>>94056164>It's like how LotR, one of the greatest stories of all time, cannot really be a franchise.I disagree, you just need to, like with warhammer, not care about the grand scheme of things and scale down the stakes. Invent characters nobody knows or fill the gaps in a greater story in an interesting way. Rings of power could have been actually interesting in a million ways if they didn't go with Galadriel as a main character. As you said she cannot die so no stakes. But if she had been a secondary character who either helps or foils the hero, you could actually explore both while conveying the story. Anyway, I like some named characters like Typhus just because of the aura they carry. I don't care much beyond that. What they do or think I don't give a shit, they should just be a vessel for my stories and battles on the TT.
