Exactly 79 models. Most of which are half of a Custodes army, a Space Marine Kill Team, and the Sylvaneth Spearhead, which I'm thinking about selling. The rest are some random models for fun, like the Blackstone Fortress guys, a few guys left from the Kroot box I haven't finished yet, some random guys, and one Warhound Titan which intimidates me.

>Slaanesh can exist without being created by eldar specificall
My headcanon is that Slaanesh actually can't exist without the Eldar. The Pleasure Cults arose because the Eldar's existence of cyclic moodswings across milennia punctuated by actual perfect reincarnation of a soul in novel bodies was agonizing to a small group of Eldar who amassed power to create Slaanesh to experience infinite linear novelty. Slaanesh is a big warp construct using Eldar souls as a skeleton (as they stay together after death unlike humans) housing a big warp engine that runs off of the corpses of the Eldar Pantheon, surrounded by a massive swirl of human extremeness.

Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Khorne are natural, and as such they don't really "plan" or "act" because they'll always exist, but Slaanesh was born and if it doesn't keep going it will die. This is why Slaanesh keeps sucking down Eldar souls: it has to get more to keep the party going or it will slowly fizzle out. This is also why Slaanesh is the God That Gets Shit Done, because Slaanesh has to keep moving.
Which is why the other Three let dumb meme deities like Be'lakor, Vashtorr, Malal, the Horned Rat, etc gnaw at Slaanesh and keep it busy.

This is really the rub of it and why 40k Chaos is so shitty and uninteresting compared to WHFB Chaos and even AoS godbooks. In the entire galaxy and all of creation the only people who matter to chaos in 40k are space marines. And not even all space marines, a specific group of marines from specific organizations that have been stagnant for the past 10,000 years. It doesn't help that the faction's internal dynamic is ruined by being split between the actual chaos worshippers and chaos elements, and the Team Sports Space Marines part like Abaddon who, despite being the SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER of the entire Chaos meta faction, tells everybody he doesn't actually like chaos that much and it's just a means to an end to enact his daddy issues against Big E because the emperor wanted actual administrators running his government and didn't default to putting marines in charge despite them being literal child soldiers who don't even know how much a bolter costs in Thrones.

Every possibly interesting Chaos moment is overshadowed by the "RED TEAM BLUE TEAM SPACE MARINE GRRRR!" aspects, they have no variety and aren't allowed any because the entire faction must resolve solely around space marines and only space marines. We'll never in a million years see anything as interesting as the Ravenhost in 40k, maybe if we're lucky there will be an independent Dark Mechanicus army who can finally focus on unique shit but even then I bet it'll just turn into Perturabo's playpen.

If you like chaos but don't care about space marines you're completely shit outta luck in 40k, whereas in Fantasy even if you didn't care for burly norscan Vikings you still had options

>>
>>94093458
>Would those groups of marines be permitted to have librarians and/or sorcerers with thwm

absolutely not
you're probably also misremembering. there IS a district in Commorragh devoted to hiring non-DE aliens and mercenaries but it's more the sort of thing unscrupulous rogue traders would frequent, not chaos fucking space marines. the only thing in the entire galaxy DE hate more than their personal rivals is chaos.
The only people in all of Commorragh who are allowed to skirt the "NO WIZARDS ALLOWED" rule are specifically Harlequin Shadowseers, largely because stopping clowns from going wherever they want is a fool's game, and also because they're powerful and trusted enough to keep them suppressed while within the Dark City; it helps that clowns recruit members from all major Eldar factions and so DE have a decent relationship with them.

Fabulous Bill did a study abroad program with some haemonculi but he is literally the galaxy's number one fedora tippers who has such little interest in chaos that he told Slaanesh directly to Her futanari Satan face that she was fake and gay and incapable of consciousness. And even that ended with him chased out of the city with a bunch of stolen combat drugs.

don't forget that killing the emperor would allow him to revive at full strength, and for literal decades there's been a radical Inquisition faction devoted to doing exactly that; it's just the whole "oopsies the webway gate on Terra would be opened" and apparently that shitty BL narrative about Vulcan rigging the throne with a bomb that would blow up Terra that stops it being an actual solution.

One, the blade she wields is the very same the Emperor used to supposedly perma-kill Horus.
Two, From what we have seen the bomb Vulkan worked into the throne needs to be manually detonated.
>>
>>94093603
Daily reminder that there is a 100% canon and confirmed way to undo the Rubric and it has been successfully demonstrated to revive dusted Rubric Marines, to the point they immediately turned and asked Ahriman wtf they were doing, but developing this idea further would require giving any plot relevance and attention to Eldar so it's never going to be brought up again or referenced ever again despite it supposedly being a main chaos faction's entire driving motivation.

You mean the Horus who was specifically retconned to NOT have died and been able to return in the future during the last book of the Dan Abnett cinematic universe? lol
Hell, Horus getting shanked with the thing was what made him turn traitor to begin with. He survived being stabbed with it TWICE

in a more interesting timeline we could have had Yvraine twisting Ahriman's arm and using her ability to undo the Rubric in order to demand he change sides and attack Lucius/Fulgrim to obtain the final crone sword, inciting chaos-on-chaos conflict (something 40k could really use more of) and advancing that stalled plotline.
unfortunately we don't live in that world so expect it to be forgotten for the next 20 years until eventually some writer remembers it and has Kaldor Draigo steal it in a fit of random teleportation or something equally anticlimactic

A C'tan Shard is 290 points, a couple stupidly high level psykers plus a NAMED SPACE MARINE (power level 9,000) killing one is completely fine.
Reminder Calgar has solo'd a fucking Avatar himself. Frankly the rest of the party should be thankful the furfag lets them share credit instead of soloing the C'tan himself
>>
>>94093648
given that we now have shit like tankbustas in kill team, I don't think a kill team even needs to be particurarly stealthly. A bunch of tyranid warriors or raveners could work perfectly well.

Ynnari came to be at about the same time roughly as Slaanesh being soft-squatted from the new AoS and I believe the rumor is that the last crone sword was going to be used to kill off Slaanesh in 40k as well. GW obviously completely abandoned that plot line which leaves us in the awkward position of the Ynnari being crucial to the plot of the start of 8th edition, a blatant natural prey/enemy of Ahriman that he's inexplicably ignoring, an enormous threat to Slaanesh, having 3 unique character models that are still fairly new that still need to have rules, but GW not wanting to acknowledge that they exist in the story in the story going forward.

>>94093687
I was under the impression that the general flavor of kill teams in 2.0 was that they were a surgical strike force meant to accomplish some objective that's less reasonable for a full army to attempt and that doesn't seem thematically appropriate from my understanding of how tyranids operate outside of genestealers, lictors, and death leapers.

they already have a way to save their souls, Ynnari souls are claimed by Ynnead the same way clowns are claimed by Cegorach, and when other Eldar around them die they can absorb their souls into their body for strength instead of them going to Slaanesh

>>94093702
The Avatar of Khaine has no consequence from dying since it can be reborn again, thus it can never kill a named character that has a model. Abbadon is the most important chaos character model and was a useful plot vessel for Calgar needing to get turned into a primaris, unless I'm misremembering something.

because Abaddon is a space marine with a more expensive model than Calgar, and GW has been trying to shill him as primarch-tier for over a decade. Meanwhile Avatars have been defeated by Genestealers shoving their cocks inside them, there is no possible humiliation they haven't already suffered

>>94093698
I mostly tolerated Ynnari (except for on the tabletop in 7th, that was unbearable) because it was the first time in memory GW tried to do anything interesting with Eldar and gave Deldar relevance that they've never had since their inception. Then they chickened out and they are in this weird limbo of irrelevance but still needing rules.

Just spoil Rogue Trader especially since it was crystal clear in Chapter 4 and especially 5 they had no idea what the fuck they were trying to do with the story. The inquisitor was keeping a necron super weapon underwraps and you chase after him in Chapter 5 where 90% of the game mechanics you were using are now completely moot.

One of the more flavorful things I did like to see was how they showed the other Rogue Traders are actually adept at combat, especially the fatguy who possibly gets corrupted by a Khorne cultist.

that is not the same as Abaddon who is literally a 12 year old child soldier who was given literally everything about him that makes him not a starving menial by the imperium but he's mad that professional soldiers are not allowed to arbitrarily rule the territory they conquer.

Archaod and Abaddon are nothing alike. Archaon is not an Empire Greatsword who's mad he's not allowed to rule Cathay after killing a bunch of Chinamen. That's literally what Abaddon is. He's eminently pathetic in a way that applies to no other character in both Fantasy and 40k

Wrong.
Abaddon was a prince. He rejected kingship for his found family and nearly died with them. Abaddon's gripe with the Emperor was for his battle brothers. Dan Abnett's characterization for him is that he doesn't want to be a king.

Archaon is mad at Sigmar for abandoning him at his greatest moment of need. Archaon was an orphan and he chose Sigmar to be his father figure.

>>94094034
Well, it's a good thing him losing to Eldrad was written in a canon story by Gav Thorpe and not just in the battle report.
>At the last moment, Lician's witch blade flicked out from the right, parrying the foul weapon Eldrad's spear swept up, braced on a fallen standing stone, the point under Abaddon's chin. The daemon sword hissed a hands breadth from Eldrad's face, its insatiable thirst for the Farseer‘s soul pulling Ahaddon forward onto the spear. Eldrad felt the future twist into place as its tip slowly puckered and pierced Abaddon's throat, and saw tiny spheres of steaming, black blood fall toward his face in perfect clarity.

My first miniatures are coming along, tomorrow I will be picking up extra small detail and makeup brushes so I can paint the eyes and orbs white before covering them in tesseract glow. I'll probably highlight the metal edges on the necrons and guns before that though, as I plan to put a scatter glow effect radiating out from the orbs and eyes, and the highlights should be under that.

I'm still iffy on how I'm going to do the tubes, but I think I'm going to dry brush them very lightly with a white to make a gradual transition from the middle to the end, and then coat it all with tesseract glow instead of a traditional layering. I think it should pan out pretty good but we'll see.

I've learned a whole lot on painting these 5 miniatures, I think the rest of the army is going to go a lot faster once I get there. A lot of trial and error up to this point.

Is there an alternative to Citadel glue that isn't Tamiya? I started this hobby using Tamiya extra thin but it could barely keep models attached to their bases and other small parts. Switched to citadel and it works great, no issues, but I'm sick of the clogging. Is there another glue that works as well as Citadel? Or maybe Tamiya non-thin is the way to go?

Are you readying the same thing? The moment Eldrad's spear would have gone fully into Abaddon's throat, Eldrad would have gotten a face full of Drach'nyen.

Eldrad's goal was to assassinate Abaddon to stop the 13th Black Crusade. He failed. And I don't recall any terminator wipe outs.

The fluffiness and flavor is gone from my Craftworld army because half my HQs are no longer legal, all my pyskers are trash....what the fuck no psyker powers? Wargear being all "paid" for is stupid, not to mention the new limitations with it. It feels like there no fun or thought going into list building anymore. You take X models that have to be to y sizes, and you always take the "best" wargear because you've already paid for it, and then you always bring all your big characters because they're just so good. I don't find it any simpler that 7th or 8th. Am I wrong?

It was eldrad and his seer council vs Abby and his terminators. Saying "ree it wasn't a 1v1" is dumb since both brought their bodyguards. If Abby didn't have his termies he wouldn't have even made it to melee in the first place.

Lucius' resurrection is the direct influence of Slaanesh raising her champion and doesn't actually follow any rules. It doesn't matter. The "rules" are just to punish Lucius and mock him.

I'm slowly working through it all, mostly the SoS and stunties at the moment.

the trick is to make sure every fucking 60 seconds you do a paint consistency check. It needs to be about 25% paint thinner, 25% water, 50% paint, and you have to LOAD the brush correctly every time.
It's absolute niggerfaggotry, which is why the only way to paint well is to "get in the zone" so to speak.

I agree anon, completely. But I think it can be fixed by just creating non space marines who are powerful figures of influence and power for chaos armies. The reason why chaos in 40k is utterly tied to a specific group of marines from specific organizations from the Heresy is because there is no one else.
The CSM fled to the Eye and it was all terra nullius so they are the only ones with any power agency or do anything. Darkmech get a pity mention every few years and chaos xenos less than that.

If chaos had charcters or factions that came from chaos xeno empires, traitor guard/mortals born on daemon worlds that are not tied to CSM, that had personailties, plans and did something in some warzone it would improve chaos immensly. Chaos cultists virtually always herald CSM when they could be their own faction, like GSC working on stellar conspiracies across mutiple systems. Chaos xenos should get more than a name drop as they're genocided and then be avenged by CSM.

Traitor marines (and Darkmech) should never have been alone in the eye, they should have been the latest of many chaos servents and forces sworn to chaos. Or just more focus on chaos lords that arent space marines

Personally I would add a repulsor and aggressors or a Phobos librarian with eliminators, realistically you will probably enjoy painting a dreadnought a lot more

I won a Combat Patrol in a raffle and have been discussing expanding that into a full army with my friend. I already had a group of Hearthkyn painted up as Demiurg so it seemed serendipitous. That meant I had two troops, some Beserks, three pioneers, and a Kahl taken care of. I've set out to buy some three Sagitaurs and a Hekaton land fortress as the Sagitaur seems outright the best dedicated transport in the game and the Hekaton seemed like a ton of fun, and I figured I'd fill out some ranks of Beserks with some Vulkyn Flameseekers I also happen to have in the mean time.

So that of course had me eyeing what to get next. I don't particularly like the Einhyr models themselves, to me they're rather bland, so I thought I would convert up some Saurus Warriors, call them "Ironhide" Tarellian Dog Warriors considering the T'au Auxilliary theme I already have going on, have them carry plasma guns, something for grenade launchers, and deck out their shields and they'd be pretty golden for Einhyr who are also 32mm base size minis.

I was also thinking that for more bikes I would take these Raptoryx models I also happen to have and make a flying mounted cavalry unit for more pioneers. Then after that I'm only a couple hundred points shorts of 2k.

My friend /hates/ these ideas and thinks it's a "hat on a hat on a hat" considering the rest of the army and that they should just be Space Dwarves. That the Saurus warriors would look too weedy to be armored even with their shields. But I think Space Dwarves and Space Lizards/Dragons have plenty of room to coexist and wouldn't detract from the Tau Aux theme I already have going on.

What's your take?

Also, what do people actually put in the Transports? Is it just Hearthkyn for the Saggies or do people put Cthonians in them despite not being able to shoot their moleguns or charge after the special disembark? Do people put Einhyr in the Hekaton or is it still just Hearthkyn Warriors? 6 in transport seems like a waste.

It's not just the space marine issue.
Chaos in general is uninteresting and boring in 40k, it is what happens when you endlessly wank off a faction so much that every other one just looks fucking stupid in comparison.
GW and the chaos fanboys within haven't made Chaos cool, they just constantly keep making everyother faction lame.

Nevermind the actual god awful multiverse shit regarding chaos.

Make up brushes and drybrushing over a simple version of the blend you're trying to do will help you smooth a lot out. The squigs in pic related are all drybrushing over a jank spray paint blend followed by a recess wash. Just do 50:50 mixes in between each colour transition and go slow.

Scout is now the most retarded sub army. You may thank me later.
>>
>>94096049
scouts used to be troops back in the old system but people would just run them to fill the troops tax and so GW made them an elite choice.
>>
>>94096042
Early 9th was fine. Then it got power crept to shit with everything getting AP-Fuck You, D2 weapons to counter all Marines getting a second wound.
It was utter shit until AOC, which was only a band-aid on a gaping wound but it made Sisters actually viable again. And Marines could run things other than spamming Van Vets with Lighting Claw and Storm Shield.
>>
>>94096025
Tau 6th made MEQ so ass they had to double their wounds.
>>
>>94096053
Scouts were fine as Troops when they were BS3 (hit on 4s before modifiers) and full-fledged Marines were BS4 (hit on 3s before modifiers).
Space Wolves' Wolf Scouts, in-lore being fully-fledge Marines who were just good at being sneaky were Elites and earned it by being BS4, like a proper Marine.
And Space Wolves' initiates, Blood Claws, were BS3 and had Frenzy so they needed a Wolf Guard Pack Leader to act as a tard wrangler or else they'd run off and charge the nearest enemy.

9th was all around better than 10th. The main problems for it was bloat and then that GW power crept it fucking hell and back.
With shit like Votann, Tyranids and Eldar being the problems at the end of the edition.
When people here were talking about 10th edition fixing 9th's problems, people just wanted GW to stop the insane power creep, lessen the bloat like stratagems, and then combine some of the data sheets into one.

Nobody asked GW to kill of the points system and then replace it with renamed power levels, same goes for these god awful weapon keywords that GW clearly can't balance for shit (devastating wounds for example).
Same for free wargear because it does more harm for balance than anything else. Nevermind that it is completely schizophrenic, with some units getting wargear out the ass, while shit like tyranid warriors have NO options at all.
>>
>>94096130
Agree on all points.
I will say I do like 10th's stratagems better. Not just because 9th had so much bloat, almost every faction had some 3CP stratagem that they would use right at the start of the battle for some bullshit faggotry that would kill a huge piece of your army turn 1 before you even got to move.
So fuck that shit.
Fewer stratagems and less "Gotcha!" bullshit is an improvement.
But free wargear, fixed unit size costs, barely any choice on relics/warlord traits, Dev Wounds.
10th is far, far better than the clearly unplaytested mess it was at release, but it's still a dogshit edition.
