How are Primaris chapters/companies organized now that they have a bunch of new units that don't fit anywhere into previous codex standard companies?
>>
>>94100268
So basically 500 space marines just sit on their asses waiting to replace some scrub? Or companies are never actually deployed in numbers they're supposed to be deployed? Sounds incredibly stupid.

>>94100253
6 to 9 provide reserves to companies 2 to 5. Ratios os squads and the composition of the reserve companies would also indicate Assault and Devastator marines suffer higher than average casualties.

10th company are the Scouts; they scout. Interestingly there is no explicit number of Scout squads, meaning there's no apparent limit on how mamy Scouts can be there.
>>
>>94100294
No, units from that are attached to provide extra support.
>>
>>94100312
They don't seem to have tactical/devastator/assault squad equivalents and instead have dozen or so small units that are 3 guys with specialized wargear, plus some larger 5-10 man units that have all one type of weapon. It's like you took a tactical squad, put all the bolter guys in one squad and all the non-bolter guys in their own squads with one weapon type per squad. Just interested to see if anything has been written or if GW just gave up on the military wargame autism
>>
>>94100294
The implication is that the Battle Companies have a high attrition rate during campaigns. Reserve Companies supposedly garrison and train while the Battle Companies are deployed, and the Scouts eventually grasuate into full Marines to replace those in the Reserve that went into a Battle Company.

>>94100340
All primaris marines can swap their gear out whenever they want depending on the mission profile just like before. Gw nickle and dining unit sizes is the only reason you see 3 and 6 man units now. They have the same overall organization broadly, it’s just the tools that are a bit different.
>>
>>94100340
Tactical, devastator, assault, aren't the names anymore.
It's more generic designations that multiple units fit into.
For example, reference the pic, a classic Tactical Squad and and Intercessor Squad are both "Battleline" units and use the upwards arrow.
>>
>>94100365

>>
>>94100424
Just take you classic chapter structure picture and replace the "tactical" with "battleline," etc. The only substance difference is that the 10th company maintains its 100 edicated Vanguard marines (10 squads' worth) in addition to the regular scouts

>And you can have as many scouts as you want.
But they don't have the black carapace and thus poqer armor, that's the difference. There's effectively 100 new marines per company, shooting up their number to closer to 1100 at full capacity, depending on how many staff members they're allowed to have per company (it's questionable canon but Blood Ravens were noted as having higher than average number of Librarians, so the number likely isn't fixed) plus the officers, which should number at 30 now that Lieutenants are a thing.

The amount of available geneseed helps moderate the number of scouts. There will rarely be a huge surfeit of the stuff beyond what's necessary for replacement.

the black templars abuse this loophole in the codex to bump their numbers considerably, but being on a crusade or in preparation for one seems to be a key ingredient for the loophole, so there's probably a clause underlining how the imperium might see a chapter amassing neophytes as a redflag.
>>
>>94100481
Yeah that's what it takes to own astra Mili cum
>>
>>94100772
The BT’s get away with it be not operating all in the same region, most chapters are tied to a given area so the inquisition might notice if they start deploying too many dudes to a given fight. Because the BT’s are spread into so many chapter fleets and usually fuck off as soon as they finish murderfucking the target of the day they can get away with it.

But yeah there’s 0 limit on recruitment while on a non-penitent crusade so that the chapter doesn’t potentially die out on a long campaign if they can’t go back to their usual recruiting grounds.
>>
>>94100329
Squads from 6 to 9 are also assigned to battle companies or ad hoc forces on an as-needed basis. If you have a mission which requires a lot of firepower, you send the 2nd but request two additional squads from the 8th. If you have to plug the gap somewhere with a half-company, the 6th or 9th will provide the leadership and the main force, other companies will supplement the specialists.
>>
>>94100772
Some slack is permitted under the codex if the chapter is on a crusade. Because the templars are always crusading they are never fully constrained by adherence to the codex. And because they are spread out it's practically impossible to get a perfect overview of how many of them there are in the galaxy at any given time.
>>

>>94100772
It's not a loophole, they explicitly disregard the codex and do not organize themselves according to its dictates. And like >>94100796, they're never all in one place at one time so a crusade of twenty or thirty Battle Brothers here, another hundred or so there, each one with neophyte squires, starts to add up.

They're probably already at legion strength in terms of raw headcount, but by keeping their forces dispersed and on the move they can't be held accountable. And who would hold them to account, anyway? It's a waste of political capital for an Inquisitor to pick a fight with a space marine chapter, and there are a lot of people who owe debts to the BTs already.

The concrete number for BT is around 5000-6000 marines as per the 4th edition codex.
And the Psychic Awakening: Faith and Fury reinforces this by saying the BT are not codex compliant and don't use the codex.

Nowadays it could very well be more, like 7000-8000 marines.
If they haven't already broken the 10k mark.

Who says they don't appear in """""such large numbers""""? Nigger even a 2k point list for 40k is like 50 dudes max. Eldar are a "dying race" in comparison to their 60,000,000 year old galactic hegemony, there's still enough fucking elves around for there to be fifty dudes.

It’s worth noting that the BT attrition rate is downright atrocious. They’ve lost multiple entire crusade fleets at different times and something like 2/3rds of their neophytes die before becoming initiates. Which probably makes it still harder to pin down how many marines they have. A lot of them executed by their mentors for failing in some way or another. They only keep up by recruiting from every single planet they visit. Abandoned BT mini fortresses are all over the damn place. Even HELBRECHT doesn’t know how many there are.

About the Space Wolves of 40K.
Copilot
Sent by Copilot:
The Space Wolves are one of the most iconic and fierce Chapters in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Known in their own dialect as the Vlka Fenryka or “Wolves of Fenris,” they hail from the icy death world of Fenris. Here are some key points about them:

Founding and Primarch: The Space Wolves are one of the original 20 First Founding Space Marine Legions, created during the Great Crusade. Their Primarch is Leman Russ, a legendary warrior known for his strength and ferocity12.
Culture and Organization: Unlike many other Space Marine Chapters, the Space Wolves have a strong anti-authoritarian streak and embrace the savage, warrior culture of their homeworld. They are known for their unorthodox organization and tactics, often deviating from the Codex Astartes13.
Combat Style: The Space Wolves excel in close-quarters combat, embodying the ferocity and cunning of their Primarch. They have a wide array of melee-focused units and many special characters to choose from34.
Notable Units and Characters: Some of their unique units include the Thunderwolf Cavalry and Wulfen, while notable characters include Logan Grimnar, the Great Wolf, and Ragnar Blackmane14.

it's more about circling the wagon to demand Imperial Agents not be a fucking joke. It's clear GW really wanted to sell it as a $60 tax to bring a Callidus when a lot of people expected and demanded more out of it.
>>
>>94100946
>Should bolter even have muzzle flash?
Yes.
Bolters aren't caseless ammo and haven't been for like 30+ years at this point.
In-universe fanon reason? So the bolters are lethal at both close and long range.
With the conventional charge in the casing guaranteeing armor penetration and killing power at close range. While the rocket engine enables the bolter to be precise and lethal at very long ranges without any decrease in lethality like with conventional projectiles that lose more energy for longer they fly through the air.

Out of universe reason?
Because GW realized that having big guns throwing out lot of brass casings in art pieces looks cool as fuck.

You are a dumb motherfucker that is surprised that a faction with a larger player population makes lot more noise than the measly minority faction that is a minor subfaction within an already niche faction.

It's like being part of some small activist group that has only 10 members and then being surprised that the local town goverment doesn't listen to you, but instead listen to the other group that has 10 000 members.

The Iron Hands do it funnily. Their companies are properly categorized into veteran, battle, reserve, and scout like any other codex-compliant chapter's. However, every company recruits its own aspirants for the scout company. They only use the codex's labels because it looks proper to outsiders. In actuality there is no escalator system where fresh graduates from the scout company cut their teeth in the reserve companies before advancing to the battle companies. If a scout was recruited by the veteran company, they will immediately be inducted into the veteran company. Reserve companies are not used for advanced training, they frequently fight their own battles.

What all this means in practice is that there are nine battle companies and a tenth scout company. There is no middle ground between being a trainee and a full battle-brother. Once you're out of the scout company it's sink or swim.

My point is that, for example, T’au vs. Tyranids or Orks vs. Mechanicum is something that probably happens often, because there’s so many people in those respective factions, they probably fight at scale so often. But harlequins are comparatively rare. The average marine probably fights tyranids hundreds of times over their life. They probably would fight harlequins once.

Again, I’m not even sure we’re arguing. I was just stretching the lore in a funny way to make a comparison between them and death watch

What is the ork equivalent to a platoon? A mob could be considered a platoon since it could have around 30 guys, and kill team shows that a smaller mob of like 10 orks is used as a squad. But also Orks have nothing inbetween a Boy and a Nob. They also have nothing between a Nob and a warboss. Would a platoon be led by a Nob of multiple smaller squads with tough boys acting as his enforcers?

I get it's super fluid and not written down anywhere, but I wonder what you guys think. I'm working on a chain of command conversion to 40k and I'm between making an ork platoon either by some sort of bigger nob leading 2x20 ork mobs, or a nob leading 3x10 ork "gangs" or some such

If the 3 squads are close together they have one Nob - the biggest ork.
When they break up into squads of 10 each of the biggest orks gets to be the nob for them, simple.
If you are 1% big you get to be the boss, until you meet some bigger ork then you are a nob. Don't overthink it, there's always the biggest ork and he's in charge

Those colors are too close together to create much contrast. Better to start yellow from shades of red, orange, or brown.

The reason >>94101224 creates more contrast is because Magenta+Yellow = Red/Red+Yellow= Orange.

The distinction is basically for the lore, renegades are traitor marines who aren’t connected to the traitor legions is what it really is. Whether they fell and got corrupted, were forcibly turned, or were from the ill fated crusade into the eye of terror that turned almost every chapter that went into chaos marines.
>>94101557
That’s probably on purpose because FW likes vagueries when it comes to lore a lot of the time.

Canonically most if not all renegades eventually go full chaos. Just a matter of time before someone slips up and it gets screwy and daemons start whispering in your Librarian/Chapter Master’s head.

>>94101577
Those three are all still traitor legions, anon is asking the distinction of loyalists going rogue, those three would most certainly not count for that question because they all have a massive amount of warbands here and there that both have a hatred in the imperium and a good amount of astartes within them that do make use of chaos.

Exodites wouldn't be another full faction but a microfaction existing inside the eldar codex just like kroots do in tau and harlequins already do in eldar.

Exodites are more archaic looking, have got dinosaurs, their own flair of more literal wraithbone and their planets are a relatively important element of eldar background, often a reason to get involved into a conflict such is their potential value as the new planets where eldar may live and be protected from slaanesh.

The Christmas boxes are actually kinda laughably bad upon further review. The big knight doesn't even have the upgrade sprues and is just the 2014 kit, sisters is actually fucking anemic in everything, tau is just showcasing it's shitty gundams, and necrons is okay but it has warriors.

>Ultramarines fighting Black Templars
The Black Templars defended a world within Ultramar before the Ultramarines could get there in time. The Black Templars declare the world one of their recruiting planets and no longer paying Tithe to Maccrage. The Ultramarines are fucking pissed and a Demi-company to go "settle" the matter. Words are exchanged, heated debate follows, and it finally ends in a challenge. The two forces meet on the battlefield with the victor claiming the planet. Allowances are made for Apothecaries to recapture all Gene-seed in the aftermath, as such a loss could be replenished.

My Necrons and my friend's Ork have been in constant conflict because every time the Necrons beat the Orks, more Orks show up looking for a good fight. Every time the Orks beat the Necrons, the Overlord gets pissed and reawakens more and more soldiers to settle this petty squabble over some border worlds. It matches the vibe since I'm playing with a decade old collection of dust collecting models that kid me never knew to varnish. He's a new player and constantly expanding his force, so whenever I bring stuff to match the new points total I dig it out of my basement. Also my Overlord and his Warboss have an especially tense rivalry since they almost always get into a fight and they're pretty evently matched between them and their Lychguard/Nobz
>>
>>94102107
which metallic paint did you use for the armour?

>>94101959
The knights Christmas box is actually hilariously stingy compared to the old one which was incredibly successful and popular.
The old box was 2x Helverins, 2x Warglaives, plus Canis Rex. You'd buy two boxes and get a full 2,000 point army with a balance between melee and range units, Canis who's the best big Knight in the game and also a good ally for other factions, and then simply build the second Canis as a different big knight instead with bondsmen abilities.

the new box is four Helverins, the big knight is worse than Canis and lacks the upgrade sprue, and if you buy two of them your army is gonna be a lot worse for not having any melee or anti-tank options. It's like they saw the unanimous praise for the Chain breaker box and went "oh fuck we actually made something too good, quick make it worse"

While I agree with this, if you put a helverin on the table and called it a chain blade or whatever, I could not fucking tell the difference and wouldn't give a shit. Just tell me what save I have to roll

You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an autocannon and a big chainsword?

Leadbelcher over wraithbone primer, kroxigor over that for the colored plate and nuln oil over the trim. Really simple but I wanted an easier army to paint after doing a bunch of sisters.
>>
>>94102165
Which one is the helverin? Which one has the melta?
>>
>>94102134
Any official art from it showing Imperium armies engaged with each other? And that one's kind of a stretch anyway since one side is just a prelude to chaos Space Marines and chaos traitor guard. But you'll never see something like art of Gray Knights attacking Sisters of battle or the Space a wolves and the GK fighting or AdMech opening fire on Imperial Guard.
>>
>>94102118
>is there a single official artistic depiction of two Imperium factions fighting against each other
probably cheating but the videogames have plenty of this. There might be art if shit like the Months of Shame or banana jannies chimping out at their own Primaris reinforcements too. Despite GW's continued assurance this is the worst regime in history and the official canon being that it's a Byzantine bureaucracy with many competing factions warring for power while the Emperor is indisposed there's not actually that much art of Imperial on Imperial violence.
I guess Kingmaker has assassins vs knights.

The problem is if there was a bunch of art of space marines getting melted by SoB with a Meltagun marine players would whine about it, which is why we get the exact opposite and it's instead Marvel team ups like the indomitus trailer
>>
>>94102165
>>94102170
Because like, helverin kinda sounds like a portmanteau of hell and culverin, and that describes melta pretty well. But isn't it the dakka one? Should call that one the caliver or something
>>
Alright, I'm building my crisis suits, and the instructions show a build where the suits float by using the stands for the drones. Anyone tried it? I think it would look cool but if it breaks easily then I'd rather not do it.
>>
>>94102170
Helverin is double autocannon, Warglaive is big Melta cannon and chainsword. The loadouts really look nothing alike
>>
>>94102131
The armigers can be built as either variant, but that doesn't detract from the big knight being a stingy fucking "deal".
>>
did anyone here get one of the christmas boxes from last year?

the ork one looks proper meme worthy (le snagga shit)
>>
>>94102170
Helverins have dual auto cannons in place of arms. Warglaives have a giant Meltagun as one arm and a giant chainsword as the other. They don't look anything alike even at a glance
>>
>>94102177
Yeah, I kind of assumed it was to protect the image of factions that they didn't want to depict as antagonistic toward each other, even if the lore says it happens all the time. It's very important to the 40k culture that fans of the Imperium all band together in their hatred of the Xenos and Chaos.

Not a taufag but flight stands are a pain imo

You're missing the point. Put the gun one on the table and paint it like, fucking red or something and just tell me it's the choppy one. That's what I did with my Gunwagon and Bonebreaka, the blue one is shooty and red one with the big rolla is choppy. You're worrying too hard about it.

They price the products at what the market will support. Infinity retardwhales in your nation will buy Primarislop at any price, so prices are set high. The richest Argentine has never even dreamed of more than 100 dollars (the equivalent of a few trillion pesos), so prices are set low.

I can't tell the difference between a Helverin and a Warglaive from name alone, yes. Warglaive doesn't mention its melta and it doesn't have a glaive, it's a stubby little saw like a Sentinel. The helverin doesn't really have culverins it has small bore rifles.

While yes thats kind of correct for the Astral Claws, if youll remember there were multiple chapters on BOTH sides, most of which stayed loyal to the imperium even after. Lamenters, Executioners, Mantis Warriors.
Also on the Badab war, i REALLY think that GW needs to do a modern badab war to really get people more invested in the newer chapters and have them actually do something of substance

That's not what was being discussed. What was being discussed is not which one between the two is named Helverin or named Warglaive. The Warglave doesn't have a glaive, and there's nothing hellish about the non culverin weapons the Helverin uses. Both the Helverin and Warglaive go to war.

Nigger the entire start of this was not being able to build Armigers as both, aka not having the guns, aka proxying autocannons as chainglaives.

The names are irrelevant. We're looping now because you're so fucking stupid. The issue was the supposed lack of upgrade sprue and the "solution" meaning proxying because nobody could tell the difference.

The name never mattered. It could be the Armiger dicksucker 9000 but it's still got an autocannon on it and that's blatantly obvious. If you're actually telling me this entire time your post was only about the name then your post was utterly pointless because that was obviously never any sort of issue whatsoever

The names being irrelevant means that running the autocannons as chainswords is also irrelevant. Just fucking tell your opponent beforehand. I built my MANZ with a KFF Big Mek, a Killsaw guy and a Klaw guy, and before the game I just say "hey, these guys are all killsaw guys". Same with my termies, the forced ETB of the Leviathan one means "hey, the power sword guy has a power fist". I'll buy another box of newtermies when I feel like it.

I know it's contrast slop, but I don't have time for traditional painting.

Which of these two base color schemes should I go with for Tau army?
>>
>>94103995
It’s contrast but even so you can make it look better. Use the contrast medium to thin it out, and where it’s leaving those pooling spots you want to use your brush to wick those away so it dries more evenly, with or without the thinning medium you want to just spend a minute more making sure everything doesn’t pool so you get a nicer look. Left is the classic scheme and it works nicely because the yellow is good and bright and shows off well at a distance, like in a picture here.
>>
>>94103874
When gun is hungrier
>>94103892
It is big
Heavy bolter is 25mm
There is very few infantry weapons that big and most of those are low velocity like shotgun or grenade launcher
>>
>>94103995
I like left better, but you need to fix a few things. I'd say make the gaiters a different color, it looks weird to have them be the same look/texture as the armor. Also, you need to stop painting the back toe in with the gaiter, it should be the same as the front 2 toes. And paint the lenses some other vivid color to have them stand out.
>>
>>94103995
The dark one could be really cool if you do just a little bright accents like glowing lenses on the helmet. Follow >>94104008's advice.

>>94103995
If you are sooooo pressed for time that that level of paint job is all you have time for, you may want to reconsider this as a hobby.

Warhammer is a hobby of years. Armies cost hundreds of dollars, potentially thousands, and take dozens of hours just to assemble and clean. To absolutely slap dash 2 coats of thin liquid on a model and call it a paint job will be a disservice to yourself and a questionable use of all the time and money you spent buying and building the army in the first place.

Watch some tutorials, get some fundamental painting techniques under your belt, and take your time. Unless you are a literal meta chasing tourney fag taking flights to international events on a tight deadline, there is no excuse to put so little time and effort into a paint job

All that said, ochre and black is the superior scheme
>>
>>94104065
clean brush and soak up pooling
if it's too light after go in with a small bit of contrast on the brush and touch that spot up
contrast is much easier to get a consistent basecoat but it's not a one and done paint like it's advertised as, unless you do something like a zenithal/slapchop underneath to help aid with the overall look

thinning the paint and being careful with the contrast application helps. You can also just touch up any spots after if you have a similar looking base/layer paint
I did these guys in contrasts without too much pooling issues
>>
>>94104131
Paint over it with regular paints or thin it with medium and do multiple coats

Some kind of underpainting or zenithal can also help break it up, or additional passes of layers and highlights. But just raw contrast on flat panel armor? Not really, it's gonna pool

not trying to be an asshole but this doesn't look better than those catachans, arguably worse because of how badly the white is applied

He actually went cross-eyed after seeing how dogshit his 10th edition datasheet was

What ratio?
>>
>>94104210
depends on the contrast, they have different densities
>>

Fire warriors come with a lot of extra bits if I remember right because they build both fire warriors and breachers. Prime some extra left over pauldrons to play around with mixing ratios before using it on your main squads

I took some feedback and did another one, trying to sop up the pools and changed the gaiter color. How does it look?
>>
>>94104227
These models have sat assembled in a box for a decade, I don't have the extra bits
>>
>>94104228
I prefer the black one. Give it some red or christmas green accents and it will look sick. Maybe some light grey camo pattern over the black panels to break up the pooling. Most people's shit talking is due to the close up photo, at tabletop level it will look just fine

Left looks nicer imo. Also look forward to seeing what you're doing for the bases
>>
>>94104228
Looks fine, needs a bright colour for eye lenses to break it up a bit
>>
>>94104228
looks much better, close to the old boxart tau color-wise
definitely color in the eye lenses regardless of scheme you go with
>>
>>94104228
better, but i would still consider trying a traditional workflow. it doesnt take much more time and in my opinion looks much better on smooth surface models like tau and eldar

Should I edge highlight Necrons? Maybe just edge highlight the "sharp" edges and dry brush everything else?
