40k is so over. AoS chads are laffin at us
>TQI'm used to my faction getting no love so this drought is nothing to me.
>>94369611>Are you that 40k crazed you think this period of no news is bad?i haven't been paying attention
>>94369611most podels
>>94369611>TQNot *bad* per se, but I think most people would prefer some news to none at all. Even a sneak peak at some Guard or Eldar detachments, stratagems, etc. would be nice just to foster some discussion on here. I've noticed that without a somewhat steady stream of news this place quickly turns into a shithole, although obviously we have the election and its aftermath as a major contributor too.
>>94369696here's some tanks with improvisational havoc launchers bluetac'd on top
>>94369611Play 4th edition
>>94369696Nice khadron overlord.
It's not like they're filling the empty release time with a bunch of content for their other games like AoS or Kill-Team. It's just a whole bunch of nothing releasing just before the holidays.
>>94369717Qt tonks
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94369727Why do they have crossbow pistols? Wasn't most of the empire pike-and-shot?
>>94369746Because they're groundmarines and need their own bolters.
>>94369718Who the fuck plays old shit?
>>94369746Marketability. Also they're not really crossbows, they don't shoot bolts and they have no strings, they shoot little blasts of lightning.
>>94369696>most podelsworking on some nobz so both my battlewagons have full tard bus complements but no pics of them yet
>>94369746Because giving the fantasy not-marines actual firearm pistols was too on the nose even for GW.
>>94369746They aren't the empire and their tech level has nothing to do with the empire
>>94369762They wouldn't even need to have the same silhouette as bolters. Whatever, stormcast are the lamest thing ever.
Do primaris still not have drop pods?
>>94369791Primaris are so awesome that they just drop them from the battle barge into the atmosphere.
>>94369791I think someone at GW is keeping the primaris transition slowed to a crawl. That or GW decided that it is better to drip feed primaris updates to keep milking the marine-piggies.
>>94369791Yea right here didn't you play Space Marine 2?
>>94369814They used this? I thought they just crash the ships?
>>94369824I'm fucking around, they never deploy using it but on two separate occasions it's used as a glorified changing room for them to go back and forth on wearing jump packs. They never stay inside it, it never fires any of its weaponry, it's functionally like a drop pod delivering their equipment.
>>94369840It fires the rockets at a swarm stop being a full time hater
>>94369696Posted it at the end of the last thread but I'm going to play a game with this soon and I'm pretty excited for it
>The White scars are heckin base-
>>94369814Does this thing have doors how do they get inside
>>94369696just got back into warhammer40k recently, these are my first painted minis
>>94369864You should do another coat on your base rims but nice bugs anon
>>94369864Hell yea behemoth>the mold lineAIEEEE
Has there ever been a lore explanation to why some space marine weaponry is space marine only? I get two handed weapons might be too heavy for mortal humans, but what about pistols? Pic related made me think of such a question. Yes a third party resin seller is selling plasma pistols with the Cawl-Cylinder for imperial guardsmen.
>>94369864looks nice anon, though keep an eye on those mold lines for the next batch
>>94369889aside from scale issues there would also be rarity and maintenance issues
>>94369889What weapons do Marines get that other Imperial forces don't? Are we just talking aesthetics here or actual weapon types/systems?
>>94369864Did they not release new warriors?
>>94369907nah
>>94369824No, they just put three marines in a single thunderhawk.
Genuinely, how do you stop sucking with melee armies? I play world eaters
Retarded question: when are the christmas boxes releasing? Before or after thanksgiving?
>>94369872Thanks, gonna do it>>94369873>>94369898Yeah just noticed when it was too late... going to cope and pretend they are veins on that one in particular
>>94369902>rarity and maintenance issuesHas this been explained in codexes or is it just a theory? It isn't a bad theory. I think it would fit nicely in 40k canon and not disrupt anything as far as I know.>>94369904Most of the Cawl pattern weapons. >Are we just talking aesthetics here or actual weapon types/systems? I'd say both to be honest. It is interesting that Cawl has focused solely on the marines and not on upgrading guard technology, but if I'm being honest I think it is nice that GW is containing Cawl autism to just marines and not having him upgrade the Imperial Guard Armory.
>>94369922Use cover. Screen. Purchase three wardogs.
>>94369727AOS is just straight up dead, anon. The new edition died within a month of its release. It flopped worse than Dominion. There's no reason to promote it any more.
>>94369740thanks muchly
>>94369696I am now aware that my DG will not fit in the box. I have a squad of blightlords and all the pox walkers left. I will have them primed this weekend.
>>94369931It's mostly aesthetics. Like a primaris plasma pistol in rules is no different from a Guard plasma pistol. It's just bigger and has different aesthetics. We might as well ask why Marines don't have some of the Guard stuff, like inferno cannons, battle cannons, multi-lasers (shut the fuck up, Goto!), etc.
>>94369933I mean, fair. Karnivores? Or the ranged ones
>>94369696A Neophyte Hybrid I painted using the crew member of the rock grinder sprue
>>94369963500 Kroot hounds
>>94369958>We might as well ask why Marines don't have some of the Guard stuff, like inferno cannons, battle cannons, multi-lasers (shut the fuck up, Goto!), etc.Would the marines benefit from using some of the weapons that the imperial guard utilizes?>C.S. Goto Ah yes. Remember the backflipping Terminator memes? Is C.S. Goto's stuff non-canon at this point?
>>94369968
>>94369987>Would the marines benefit from using some of the weapons that the imperial guard utilizes?Would Guard benefit from Marines weapons?
>>94369968You will surely not regret purchasing 500 Kroot Hounds
>>94369992>Would Guard benefit from Marines weapons?Not really because marine weapons are designed to be used by marines. The guard weapons on the other hand can probably be better utilized by space marines. This is assuming that there are any guard weapons worth being used by space marines unless you want to homebrew something like pic related.I wish I saved the other weapon edit shitposts. They made me giggle.
>>94369992In earlier editions they did, they were just heavy weapons. It added to the power and awe of space marines being able to physically lug around a plasma cannon on his shoulder, or a lascannon, which were either crew served weapons or vehicle mounted. Of course in the sloppafication of Space Marines becoming aspect warriors its all gone out the window. The actual lore reason is that anti-grav tech to make weapons even like bolters able to be wielded by a regular dude is incredibly rare and not used in mass production, nor do they have STCs for bolters to be used by a regular ass dude. Back in the day Guard officers and Space Marines used the same kind of pistol, just with modified grips. A bolt pistol for some commissar was fucking massive.
>>94369696taking a break from my Knight to work on repainting my CSM army. thinking they're going to be a Red Corsairs splinter warband.
>>94370023Nice. Brass and red is such a classic chaos look
>>94369963Brigands. S12 -4ap melta. Make the enemy shit their pants.
>>94369907old warriors, new box
>>94370008>In earlier editionsAs oppose to now?>The actual lore reason is that anti-grav tech to make weapons even like bolters able to be wielded by a regular dude is incredibly rare and not used in mass productionNo such lore exists. Suspensors are sometimes used by better equipped Guard for heavy weapons (according to Munitorum Manual), but one does not need anti-grav to use a bolter or bolt pistol.>nor do they have STCs for bolters to be used by a regular ass dude. Bolters we used by all sides during the Unification Wars. They were common weapons. It's why Custodes use bolters instead of, say, volkites, because volkites are Martian tech and the Emperor wanted Custodes to be independent from their meddling, so they used weapons available on Terra. You also got Hive gangs and such using bolters. IG veterans used to be able to buy up to 3 bolters.
Drybrushing marine armor is a meme
>>94369889Space marine bolters are fucking huge. They need to be carried with both hands by ordinary humans.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFj8sxwhLmo
Will centurions get a Primaris update or get squatted next edition?
>spend an entire day painting>everything looks like shit>spill black templar contrast on one of my minisI can't take it anymore
>>94370079that's a human scale bolter, not a marine one
>>94370094Squatted, hopefully.
>>94370094Hopefully squatted.Along with space marine scouts and reivers. Scout units for an army that's whole deal is being the big boys in big power armour makes no sense to me.
>>94369966he's neat, i'm a big fan of how the extra dudes on the goliath kit are interchangeable with the parts in the neophytes kit
>>94370106Scouts just got new sculpts. They're not going anywhere.Rievers were never well liked or particularly good.
>>94369987Yea. The stuff that's mounted on baneblades, vanquishers, valkyries, chimeras, hellhounds
>>94370008>Space Marines becoming aspect warriors its all gone out the window.I don't play Eldar nor do I really think of Eldar. Where did this phrase of Space Marines becoming like "aspect warriors" come from and how?
>>94370155Small special weapon squads all armed identically. Elimimators, Hellblasters, and inceptors all come to mind immediately.
>>94370155Primaris squads all being blobs of mono-weapons rather than the flexibility of first-born. Hell-blasters, Eradicators, Desolation squads come to mind for this comparison.
>>94370008Don't give your bullshit "lore reasons" when you don't know.Early Imperial Guard could carry lascannons and missile launchers on their shoulder like marines, though this was changed by 2nd edition.The ACTUAL actual lore reason is "there have always been female Custodes". There was no explanation needed for why a human could carry a lascannon like a space marine, because space marines used to be more human-level in strength. As that changed the expectation guardsmen could solo carry changed.Well after this change guardsmen were still able to carry bolters, plasma guns, meltaguns and flamers that were essentially the same as carried by marines- there was never a need for anti-grav suspensors or anything.As of 10th guardsmen, as per lore, should still be able to carry a boltgun (as well as wield a bolt pistol properly) it's only the primaris specific guns that are unwieldy.
>>94370168better this way ironic people pretend the old was preferred while also complaining about "schizo loadouts"
>>94370111Thanks anon. Yeah that's the idea, going to use the extra weapons on the neophytes sprue with the Goliath leftovers to build some options for a GSC gang in Necromunda
>>94369611>TQNo, I just think going from September to January without any new codex when half of the factions still don't have theirs is a pretty ballsy move.
>>94370172You're dead wrong but thats okay, GW stocks rely on retards like you.
>>94370183>frogposterthanks for admitting your opinions are worthless
>>94370172IIRC back I 5e you couldn't split targets when shooting so tactical squads were always pretty trash.
>>94370198they were, you fielded scouts over them every timeBUT MUH HECKIN SOVL THO
>>94370172Not only are you gay but you're also retarded. My condolences.
Anyone kitbash anything good with the new solar auxilia?
>>94370199Why would you field scouts over tacs? Explain.
>>94370224Cheaper, so you can spend points on units that kill stuff.
>>94370224Troop tax. 5th was overall not very good for SM infantry. So you take the minimum, cheapest troops you could so you could have all the flashy shit. Its one of the reasons they got rid of force org since people bitched about their skew lists having to take a troop tax when they wanted more special units.
>>94369696
>>94370221I bought the Solar Auxilia Leman Russ tank and made an etsy order for some sponsons. Does that count?What should the 40k stats for the Storm Section Power Axe Auxilia be? I have a plan for just fitting a Cadian torso between the armoured bodies of the axe units and using a Cadian gas mask head for the conversion.
I genuinely like 40k.
>>94370245No because I did that too.Might be able to mostly finish them this weekend.
>>94370248Hey wait what game
Name some video games where I can play chaos space marines.
>>94370268Void War
>>94370262>No because I did that too.What specific sponson did you buy?
>>94370262Got a link to the sponsons, please?

>>94369696Tonight's WIP. First time genuinely painting in subassemblies (at least for a non-vehicle), and my first time using cork to do so.Shame I couldn't get them done for a game tomorrow but oh well.
>>94370155Eldarfags mad that their tertiary faction is being left behind.
>>94370283Mucho texto
>>94370277>>94370282Probably same as you https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1737546089/sol-battle-tank-sponson-set-12pcsI also bought the track guards because normal ones don't fit on auxilia russes.Sponsons and turret magnetized.It's pretty sweet.
Primed all my guard today. Had them on cardboard that I put outside on the ground. Mostly covered them except for some spots on the lower angles. Are little unprimed spots a big deal when painting? I guess I could try again, but there's 45 of the little fellas and I'd probably have to come up with a method that gives me a better angle at their undersides.
>>94370323no priming is not that important.
Why can't I just dry brush everything
>>94370348you can
>>94370319>Not the anons, butThere's like 3 versions of them and the one geographically closest to me is the ball joint connection one. And even then the shipping is basically the same price as the actual model itself which is making me really question whether I should even bother.But then again I am making a guard army that utilizes multiple different tank patterns. So maybe another customized LR tank wouldn't hurt.I can't seem to find a third party punisher gatling cannon for the Solar Auxilia Leman Russ though. Or my googlefu is very poor.
>>94370238>take the minimum, cheapest troopsAnd then your troops die and you can't claim objectives. Did you even play 5th?
>>94370295These guys rub pretty hard when you fit the riders in, I advise you lay some some varnish on and around the seat before you glue them in.
>>94370382>And then your troops dieDid YOU play 5th?
>>94370377Just remembered the Kromlech resin punsher cannon. Think it will work as a replacement turret for the solar auxilia leman russ tank? It has rivets all around it.Assuming it fits.
>buy Biosanctic Broodsurge box off EbayWat do? I'm thinking Rusted Claw, but I like a lot of the characters outside of the Jackal Alphus
>>94369611>TQWe are getting AOSd, reboot and all, we going modern audience, get ready for in the 40k millennium there's only diversity.
>>94370377I'm away for work but I'm pretty sure I made a punisher cannot by just sticking the head of a punisher cannon onto the base of a cheap recast alpha pattern battle cannon, you could probably use the plastic ones too. picrel, not mine but I'm pretty sure I did something like this.
>>94369696I like demons and robots. If dark mech ever comes to 40k then I'm fucked. Thankfully it's constrained to tiny hammer and is only 2 models or something.
>>94370404That sounds amazing. I actually have a regular leman russ tank kit so I'll assemble the Solar Auxilia version and see if the punisher turret fits. I hope it does. I will be very sad if it doesn't fit because it will mean I will have to brute force it to fit.
>>94370241Lovely
What faction do you think needs more custom made stuff?
>>94370434The guard.There's already plenty of third party space marine bits stores.
>>94370034thanks anon, appreciate it. trying to decide if I do Obliterators, Chosen, or Legionaries next.
>>94369742There's literally next to nothing to refresh, save the Dais of destruction, repack wracks into ten models per box, bring back Grotesques and remake al characters.Besides that they would actually need new units.
>>94370400As far as I understand you can paint rusted claw and play the Broodsurge Detachment. That's what I plan on doing anyways, pic rel.
>>94370461>several key units not even available for sale
>>94370455Do Obliterators and really play into them wearing diapers. Go full Pampers on those bitches. Besides, I think one of the Chosen has a backwards sword so they suck.
>>94370466such as?
>>94370464I like the lenses you painted but can you take a less blurry pic so we can all enjoy them better?
>>94370455If you can paint Chosen without going insane from the details you'll feel like painting anything else will be easy, I'm working on some for a friend right now
>>94370464Paint scheme isn't decided yet. I want to do something different from what little I've done, but I know I like the vehicles and neophytes.I'm essentially brand new to this, so I just looked at detachments for ideas.
>>94370482nice work on the plasma glow
>>94370478Better? Sorry my phone is a bit rubbish
>>94370171God I hope they retcon femstodes next edition.
>>94370500Yes. Good job on him and his little friend.
>>94370507Nah, they gotta "modern audience" 40k before the Amazon show. We Sigmarines now.
>>94370172Must be painful to live with your degree of retardation.
>>94370499Cheers>>94370510Thanks. They have performed well so far
>>94370507get read for one of the missing primarchs returning
>>94370168You’re correct in terms of gameplay but wrong in terms of aesthetics and customization.
>>94370382Eeeew a newfag!
>>94370466If you say witches you deserve the suffering.
>>94370517Didn't that got axed though?
>>94370535>customizationno that's the whole point
>>94370549Did it? If so, thank Allah (PBUH).
>>94370549>>94370557James and Besos have until next month to agree on the creative guidelines for the thing, if they can't the deal falls through.
>>94370491Broodsurge is basically aberrents, purestrain genestealers and hybrid metamorphs. The most "elite" of the GSC detachments, elite being a relative term and we are more of a horde army.Trucks work well in most detachments but really shine in Outlander Claw, and youll find a place for a few neophytes in most lists but they are more for xenocreed
>>94370023Why is it so hazy, just a dirty camera? Cool dudes regardless.
>>94370575>but they are more for xenocreedThey are the main star of Host of Ascension are they not?
>>94370573GW's absolute retardation has never seemed more useful.
>>94370575I think I said Rusted Claw when I meant Outlander lmao whoops. So vehicle heavy is Outlander Claw or some weird Broodbrother list. If I want more infantry I'd do Host of Ascension.Sounds simple enough. Thank you, anon.
>>94370575Gsc and nids should get a giant monster genestealer biomorph.
>>94370603I am not as up to speed on that detachment as I have never played it yet sorry. But they are very cheap, have sticky and come back via cult ambush so at least a couple of units of them will find a place in any detachment really imo
>>94370211>>94370521>no rebuttalpathetic, the OLD GOOD NEW BAD subhumans really aren't capable of much are they
>>94370616Basically yeah, but if you want to change your detachment you will still use a few trucks and neophytes in most lists so your efforts won't be wasted if you decide to change in future
>>94370636And it looks like I'll have a lot of both no matter what I do with the army. I won't complain about some mandatory flexibility.
>>94370007>The guard weapons on the other hand can probably be better utilized by space marinesThis is basically already the case since the majority of IG crew served weapons like heavy bolters, autocannons, missile launchers, etc. are all used by a single marine lugging the weapon around themselves.
>>94370652May the good lord have mercy on your soul for choosing to paint this faction.
>>94370649>space marine using an IG mortar like it's a knee mortarFuck, they could even repurpose the missile launcher backpack with the servo-arm so the marine can hold the mortar with one hand while the servo-arm keeps shoving rounds into it. The marine can use an auspex with his other hand to track the shots.
>>94370687There are fates worse than death.
Should I buy the necron battleforce box or should I get the void dragon on his own with a combat patrol? Battleforce box is $240 plus tax but the dragon + patrol is also $240 on Amazon, and it feels like I get way more that way, especially since I'm not too hot on lychguard.
>>94370721>lychguard*immortals/praetorians I mean, or whatever they are.
>>94370721Sounds like you already have your answer. .
>>94370721This should have had the monolith instead of the void dragon, for many reasons. What were they thinking?
>>94370721>tl;drThe box is designed for people who already own a necron army, but are missing a c'tan, new overlord and need more Lychguard + warriors.Praetorians can be built into lychguard which is good. But the box is not balanced for a starter army.Lychguard in general aren't meta currently. Neither are warriors. Grey tide has been a historic favorite of necrons for multiple editions, so they will get some use eventually.I could certainly use the box but I'm not getting one. $240 is steep.
>>94370774Fair, and I've actually decided to get the nightbringer instead so that drops it another 50-60 bucks to less than $200. I have a paint scheme idea to highlight him with a green glow like on the MTG card so he'll clash with the aesthetics less. Shame, I really was looking forward to the box but that $10 jump was enough to make me rethink it, seems like there's less plastic in it overall than the last couple time, too.
>>94370788>grey tide Silver tide, anon.
>>94370779If they added a monolith instead of the dragon it'd actually be a good deal then anon, and we cant have that.
>>94370803Sorry, SS13 on the brain. Similar principle though.
>>94370804I'm glad I bought the monolith when it was $130 on amazon >nearly $200 nowJesus fuck
>>94370788kind of feels like every box is like thisthe IK box is greatif you already have the bog-standard tournament list at 2k points with a canis rex, you already have all the spare bits and a missilebox/stubber to magnetize to your new knight and 4 armigers which you're going to pad your list with to 3k anywaysbut yeah, the price is steep and barely a discount
>>94370811The Dark Angels box is perfect thankfully. But again>$240
1v1. Current/last known load outs and armaments. Roboute vs Valdor. Who wins?
>>94370810>paid maybe $40 for the old hull (no guns, clear bits, etc.) to use for a conversion projectFeels good, man.
>>94370834old monolith has a plumbob, wild to think that 40k takes place in a far future universe of the Sims
>>94370834Based.I wish I kept my old monolith.
Do you have any suggestions for a way to convert/T'au-ify a Kahl for the Demiurg themed army I'm working on? I was pretty happy with my Pulse Carbine weapon swap on some Hearthkyn in the back here. The Grimnyr is secondhand so I'm just repainting it (away from a lame half-arsed Santa theme).
>>94370834>>94370860Idk man, old one kinda looks like shit. Just a giant hunk of flat plastic.
>>94370846>Glabada minza, gleebee zee zo wee zo florkthrorp.
>>94370884The old one always reminded me of a Dalek for some reason, and I hated it. Probably didn't help that at the time the most annoying 40k player I ever had the displeasure of regularly encountering was a Necron player.
>>94370884>Just a giant hunk of flat plasticWould you say it looks... monolithic?
>>94370891everything about the Old Ones is starting to make a lot more sense now
>>94370901Pretty fucking rad. Very nice blending and crisp highlights. The gold came out great, especially on the knee skull.No notes, top shelf stuff anon.
>>94370867Honestly, a Tau shoulderpad slapped on top of the Kahl's power fist to make the top plate would look really good and tie it into the Tau theme you're going for.
>>94369611>TQ The only good news i wait is Prinaris getting squatted
got a couple of these coming in the mail I got for cheap(ish)what are some aesthetic loadouts?
>>94370970Dual claws or dual assault cannon
>The Emperor is a Perpetual>Vulkan is a Perpetual>Big E is predicted to be on the throne forever>Vulkan livesSo why can Vulkan, eventually, re-materialize whereas Emps is a husk forever?I'm not trolling, I legit don't know.
>>94370993Cuz the Emperor can't fully die and ne reborn because the throne keeps him alive.Also because even if he's a perpetual if he dies for real even for a moment the Warp rift on Terra explodes
>>94370901I like the bone colored trim, matches the purple armour really well
>>94370993the emperor isn't fully deadif he died he could reincarnate but it would destroy the entire sol system
>>94371010>>94371014But...why? Can't he just pop into his dumbass skull body and rise? Or is it all theoretical? Or is he just busy playing skeet hockey with the chaos losers?
>>94370993Because he's only mostly dead, not dead-dead. So he can't rise from the ashes like a phenix.Perpetuals is a silly idea.
>>94371026he's still in his body, that's whyit's not dead, it's kept on death's door so he can keep the warp rift closed
>>94371027What is his perpetual soul DOING then, I guess? I mean, if I assume correct, perpetuals just come to life forever, and only Vulkan inherited it. Is big E just bored and doing whatever? Locked down somehow? I'm just trying to guess.

>>94370588not sure honestly? might also just have to dust the kitchen light lmao.
>>94371056>in stasisThen how is he able to communicate and why does he need people fed to him to keep him alive? Guilliman and others in stasis didn't need to be fed.
>>94371037His soul is shattered to the point of insanity and its all made of little fragments that try to help humanity by manifesting his will through the emperor's tarot or some other lesser miracles but He is too fragmented to gather enough power to restore hinself back to full life.He's basically trapped in an infinite cycle of infinite simultaneous 4d chess matches all the time

>>94371062>>94371067the psykers being 'fed' to him empower him in keeping the damaged Webway sealed. he's literally a dam holding back an infinite number of daemons from pouring over Terra straight through his asshole. if he were to die, yes he could regenerate in theory, but doing so would basically turn Terra into another Eye of Terror in the process.

>>94371084>the psykers being 'fed' to him empower him in keeping the damaged Webway sealedSo why doesn't the fluff just say that instead? Because all I read is that they're fed to him and his appetite is growing.

>>94371248I hate HH because it replaced heroic myth and half-truths passed down over ten millenia with mediocre writing of authors too shit to make it without relying on an existing IP.

>>94369931>>94369889The answer is simply that GW never got around to it. Why is for example, neo volkite weaponry not commonly used by higher ranking imperial guard officers for example? GW simply hasn't made a kit for that update and likely never will as to keep primaris weapons looking unique. Simple as. There no reason in the lore for it not to be available.
>>94370112Rievers would be fine if Battleshock was useful. Idk how but maybe like making shooting worse or opposing saves better because they're so fucking agitated their shots are going wide?

How closely do Kroot an auxiliary follow the T'au chain of command? It seems clear that they have their own "field officers", Sharpers, but how closely do they work together with the regular Tau Commander of the cadre? Are they independent units that get attached to Cadres or organic to them? Do they follow direct orders of the T'au Commander while attached? Do they get orders from other shapers further up in the hierarchy? Do they have water caste and fire caste officers with them?
>>94371556the shaper or kinband leader is in communication with a fire caste officer and receive orders from themthey might follow them or they might not, but generally they're reliable
>>94371556Vespids & other auxiliaries have to have a tau field officer at all times but kroot don't. Maybe a commander has orders passed down but otherwise Kroot work without much direct interference cuz they're that badass

>>94371711They need more Cabal.
>>94371492It's so refreshing to see a bright and nice looking green for salamanders in this thread
>>94371541I find no interest in it. Like the World Eaters. The difference is that the nails were removed and thus they are giga-loyalists purging dissent ala the Space Wolves.Only that wasn't really the WE's deal, their deal was brotherhood and fidelity with each other not fanatical devotion to the emperor. Also it's more strongly implied in the actual HH novels they were meant to be arseaching hippies whose twin hearts ache with suffering ala Blood Angels since Angron before the nails was highly empathic being who could take pain from others by suffering the pain himself. World Eater Librarians do the same thing to Angron like at Armatura when Angron is having a nails driven autistic freakout but the 19 remaining Librarians channel their minds to remove his pain from the nails for a short time allowing him to save Lorgar with his classic holding up a titan foot thing.

>>94370155>Where did this phrase of Space Marines becoming like "aspect warriors" come from and how?The part where they literally became aspect marines praying at the shrine of plasma.>Before"This is a Devastator Squad. All Space Marines start as Scouts and train as Devastators and Assault Marines before graduating to Tactical Marines, who can flexibly be equipped and respond based on a given conflict, which is important for an elite force of only 1,000 men fighting vastly outnumbered.>Now"These are the PRIMARIS HELLBLASTER Aspect Marines. They pray at the shrine to plasma and never leave home without the smell of burnt ozone. They will literally scream and cry if you try to make them pick up a bolter or grav cannon. Also they can't even ride in a Rhino, because their Aspect Shrine forbids it.""This is an Eradicator, the Aspect Marine of Meltaguns. They only wear a special kind of gravis armor and use a Melta Rifle that Cawl totally didn't crib from the knife-ears. They will never wear other kinds of armor or use different weapons and only use this specific armor+weapon combination with a Proper Noun name.

>>94371928sorry that the truth hurts
>>94371938meanwhilehmmmm clearly these two images are the exact same :^)oh and these guys are allowed to ride in a Rhino
>>94371913does this count?
>>94371932>Nightbringer runs in and ties up Ghaz for the rest of the gameIt actually ended in a tie. We only played a simple primary without secondaries to avoid brain drain (each obj is worth 5 at the start of your turn). As you can imagine Orks scored bigly for the first 3 turns but by the very end of turn 5 Necrons stood on all 5 objs and scored massively
>>94371816Yeah I liked the bright greens he used.
>>94371938>>94371942Primaris don't pigeonhole into a single weapon in lore, retard, they're assigned a role before their mission and are given a loadout to match. They'll only repeat that loadout if required.SM2 even has a background scene where a Sergeant is telling one of his subordinates that they're being deployed as a Hellblaster squad, and they need to re-equip before deployment.Marines still train with all weapons, but will deploy with a designated task and approach.
>>94371711Lava gun
>>94371955And Eldar can change between different Aspect Warriors over their life too lol, the entire prerequisite to becoming an Autarch is to have mastered each Path which is also why they get to mix war gear from different Aspects they've served as, so you can have a Banshee mask and a Scorpion blade and a Warp Spider jump pack on the same guy.This is pure cope, they're fucking aspect marines, now shut up and get off the Rhino, faggot, you're not allowed to ride the fun vehicle; get in your goddamn ugly wannabe Primaris Wave Serpent grav tanks instead.
What is it about certain gimmicks or cultural flavours that gets the fandom so upset? Is there not room enough for all of it, or are only certain ones "allowed" in their autistic mindset?
>>94371857Damn, looks like a fun time.I did a fuckass huge game against necrons a while ago, I think we took around 9 hours to finish it at 5k points.Were you exhausted afterwards? I certainly was.
>>94371972>And Eldar can change between different Aspect Warriors over their life tooNTA but is it as simple as swapping out a gun? This sounds more like being made designated marksman with a more precise weapon or support gunner with a SAW.
>>94371905those are some nice looking orks but the cover system makes for some silly images
>>94371975>Is there not room enough for all of itnot really, no matter what you do, hello kitty marines have no place
>>94371975which "fandom" and which gimmicks are you talking about? Personally one of the strengths of 40k is how varied the universe is.
>>94371972Cawl is clearly an Eldaboo
>>94372004Judging by his picture I assume he means Roman analogues being associated with tyranny and imperial corruption.
>>94372007cawl got his tech from the votannexcept the spinny bit, he made that all by himself
>>94370507It wont be.In either case it doesn't matter because you're not a custodesfag anyway so your opinion on the faction you don't play let alone buy doesn't matter.
>>94371919There's no possibility for a missing Primarch to be a woman. They've already written themselves out of that possibility and reinforced it in recent novels even.
>>94371972>And Eldar can change between different Aspect Warriors over their life too lolMost of them don't.If you are a dire avenger, you stay as a dire avenger.Only ones who go from another warrior path to another are ones who are aiming to become autarchs, since to become an autarch you have to master most if not all aspect warrior paths so you can command your forces most effectively.
A lost primarch corpse will be eaten by nids and they get primarch dna to create some one-off super swarmlord variant.
>>94372021>but the novelsIt doesn't matter. The lore doesn't matter, and what is considered "canon" matters even less for GW.Did you already forget female custodes happening?
>>94372026The ones that don't become Exarchs, who are relatively rare.
>>94371982>s it as simple as swapping out a gun?Aspect Marines don't just swap a gun, they also swap out their hyper-specialized Aspect Marine armor that is only ever paired with that specific gun, too. A Suppressor isn't just a guy with an auto cannon, the PRIMARIS (TM) SUPPRESSOR(TM) is a guy wearing a specific variant of Omnis armor, wielding a specific variant of accelerator auto cannon, and equipped with a grav-chute. The same way a Warp Spider is not "just a guy with a death spinner", but it's the specific combination of Death Spinner+heavy aspect armor with warp shielding (hence the 3+/5++)+Jump generator on their back. Just like a Suppressor without a grav chute is not a Suppressor, a Warp Spider without a jump generator is not a Warp Spider. It's the bespoke name for that specific combination of armor+weapon+wargearYou know what a Devastator with a Lascannon is called? A fucking Devastator.
>>94372027I've seen people joking that this is what Tiamat is working on with that one project planet of theirs.
>>94371913not really but they have several rotary cannons which appear to perform a similar function
>>94372037Ah, I see. They're not aspects. They are GI Joe action figure sets.
>>94372026Lol, the ones who DON'T change Paths are the absolute minority and get stuck tending their aspect shrines as Exarchs and are considered Lost on the Path. Most Aspect Warriors are not Exarchs, that's like saying every Marine is a Chaplain or Librarian
>>94372042>They are GI Joe action figure sets.Or if you look at Reivers, Call of Duty Warzone Specialists lolseriously fuck this awful company can we please get another serious competitor, X-Wing and Warmahordes both totally shat the bed
>>94371669repulsors i think you can make some solid arguments for. impulsors less so
>>94372037People do this with necessary hardware all the time if needed. How many BDUs are there for specific environments? Many do this to sell more figures like the dozens of Stormtrooper variations. People dress different if dressing different helps their role.
>>94372058>Call of Duty Warzone SpecialistsThose change outfits and weapons depending on whatever the player chooses.
>>94372063From a wargame perspective, different outfits makes them Identifiable on the table when you have 60 different kinds of marines to distinguish between too. Can you imagine if all of them were in normal sizes MkX Tacticus armor?
>>94372058Needs the knife to be in the right hand.
>>94372063The different types of StarWars Stormtroopers are much more analogous to different Imperial Guard regiments and equipment based on the planet and biome they're recruited from and specialized in, Valhallans are basically Arctic Troopers in all but name.
>>94372032>>94372050Wrong again.Exarchs are specifically eldar who are lost to their chosen path, basically they have become obsessed with it and therefore can no longer change it. And this is for all paths, not just aspect warriors.You can remain on any path as long as you want without becoming lost onto it and all of it depends on the person themselves. Even the eldar themselves mention it.
>>94372063And yet a snow trooper can equip a different blaster when it's needed. Or a flamer. He also might just equip a different armor if fighting not in cold environments, but use the same gun
>>94372072>Can you imagine if all of them were in normal sizes MkX Tacticus armor?Yeah? They'd just have different guns.I can rotate a wumpa fruit inside my head as well, can you?
>>94372090Stormtroopers change their gear much more often while IG usually don't change as much hopping from planet to planet. Valhallans carry their style everywhere and are that way more from birth and homeplanet training. Officially, Snowtroopers aren't the official name but Cold weather assault stormtrooper is. They're people who specifically trained for that but nothing about their home, birth culture, or if they can swap to others. It's like if a Cadian were to don Valhallan gear and tactics if they reach a snow planet.
>>94372072Different helmet colours, different shoulder pad colours etc. Ofc you can make different units easy to identify.
>>94372137>Valhallans carry their style everywhere and are that way more from birth and homeplanet training.Guard regiments often get supply depending on their warzone.
>>94372058Reivers wear phobos armor because they are a vanguard unit.Their purpose is to both scout ahead of the main force and sow terror in the enemy by strategically killing commanders and perform other type of sabotage.Wearing phobos helps with that because it is lighter and it is specifically equipped with quieter servos, etc.
>>94372141>colors>restricting what colors I can paint themI'm not doing Deathwatch and leaving a pauldron the original color besides blackshields.
>>94372122>And yet a snow trooper can equip a different blaster when it's needed. Or a flamer.So can a primaris.
>>94372146Their training, tactics, and more aren't. Usually they're sent to environments they're used to or can do unless the Adminstratorium botched it again. It'd be a sick joke for a Tallarn Regiment to be sent to a tundra.
is it possible to build a decent thousand sons army without magnus? i dont mind ahriman, he's cool. im not opposed to name characters. i just dont like magnus's model. if he were more like the lion or guilliman sized i wouldnt be so opposed to it but the massive muscle man that looks like some 90s action figure in the middle of an army of egyptian themed sorcerers is just out of place and doesnt match the vibe but i watched a couple videos to get an idea how the army works and it sounds like magnus is the backbone of the entire strategy for that army
>since the inception of Scouts, nobody uses Tacts because the special weapon is often useless and is mostly just an extra plasma shot in>Every marine list becomes 2 scouts>Everyone started running combi weapon Sternguard to do specific roles since Tacts sucked so much ass at it>Special Weapons get changed so the most experienced marines are no longer the worst out of the Dev/Scout/Tact trio>This somehow makes people mad.I'm convinced half the people here never played early editions because Tacts being shit troop tax options has been a thing from like 4th
next Space Marine Heroes series should be Orks, or CSM.
>>94372165>I HAVE TRAINED FOR DECADES TO BECOME A MEATSHIELD FOR TANKS>WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M BENCHED FOR SCOUTS?
>>94372169>SPACE MARINE HEROES>contain Orks
>>94372158Sure their training won't change. But fuck ups of regiments ending up in the "wrong" warzone happens more often than not I would say.
>>94372169it will be female and black custodes
Very subtle
>>94372169I would like some more Chaos. DGuard got so much in comparison to TSons and WEaters, I am genuinely concerned about the EChildren release.
>>94372160You would be severely gimping yourself, there's a reason every competitive list puts him in first.1CP full rerolls to hit and wound / move twice / indirect fire are just wildly better when you can only apply them to one unit but that one unit happens to be a 14" move murder machine with a bag of tricks to stop damage getting through.I mean who else would you use those tools on that TSons rely on to win games? A Rubric unit? Even if you were using it on a max sized brick its nowhere near as good and you're losing Cabal points
>>94370155Eldar are a generalist army made up of specialized units. Marines WERE a generalist army made up of generalist units, but now their units are more and more specialized as they absorb the Eldar's army conp philosophy into thwir own.
>>94372169As a CSM player, I agree with you. I wouldn't mind one for WE either though.
>>94372195next year's limited edition model? gay knight's servoskull?
>>94372189The future is green and it's beautiful, you Git.
>>94372160>is it possible to build a decent thousand sons army without magnus?No.Same with World Eaters minus Angronthe chaos legion codexes would honestly be better off implemented as a Regiment of Renown type deal for CSM where in exchange for access to X you give up Y/Z/etc. Instead of being pathetic half armies with a single way to build the faction dependent on a bunch of specific named characters. GW already did this with eldar, who have "if you bring Yvraine as warlord, you can't take Harlequins/Corsairs/Phoenix lords/Avatar of Khaine but can ally 1000 points of Dark Eldar", but I guess retarded codex bloat is more a space marine thing than a xenos one.
>>94372196I always liked the deep magenta and gold look of the late HH. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the new official look for them when they’re released, also the new characters in the second to last EC book wore those colors.
>>94372189
>the iron sight blocks the view of the scopeI can't get over this lads.

>>94372264>t. schizophrenic with no job
>>94372232People see an AR15 with the front-sight gas block and don't think twice
>>94372264If you're making $1k a week and you can't afford warhammer, warhammer isn't the problemMove to a cheaper town or state, maybe cut down on other vices like cigarettes or booze. Buy warhammer boxes is small digestible amounts like 1 box a month. If you are making $4k a month and can't swing a $50 box of minis, you've got serious problems
>>94372218The problem isn't with the legion codexes its with primarchs on the table being solely meant to milk paypigs and the cult legion codexes are perfunctory to allow that milking.If they had a full range of unique units and detachment rules fleshing them out and making the primarchs more balanced within the faction they would be infinitely better than a handful of rules and 1 unique unit in a CSM codex. Basically if they got the same care and attention of a loyalist codex.
Colourshift paint costs 5 bucks, normal acrylics cost 50 cents .
>>94372296So I'm reading this and what I think you're saying is we need to take the helbrute box and put upgrades in it and increase the price 10 bucks and call it a "khornebrute" and take the classic dreadnaught, size it up and put some tzeentch shit in it and raise the price 20 bucks and call it a "tzeentchnaught" and take the chaos bikers, throw some pink shit on them and double the price and wallah- doomriders!
>>94372264>>gay bottoms can make $2k per videoI was unironically going to put all my money into TSLA stock on november 4th because I thought it might pump after the boogaloo on the 5th, but then I pussied out because I was scared it would dump and I'd lose all my money.>up 50% in a weekI want to die.
>>94372298>normal acrylics cost 50 centsWhat manufacturer?
>>94372268Literally me.
>>94372318Invest in military contractors. No doubt in my mind that Raytheon and the rest are going up in the next few years
>>94372264at least you havent fallen into the trap yet, i work close to that many hours yet i have no fuckin time to paint
>>94372327/smg/ said that in 2020 and RTX is only up 2x in 4 years in spite of everything, meanwhile those guys didn't care about NVDA until it was already at 500 bucks a share. They are genuinely the dumbest investing thread on 4chan.Warhammer 40,000.
>>94372320The generic paints I find at the craft store.
>>94372364Then perhaps I am simply a warmongering fool
Do you think that you will play the game again before the end of the year?Is there anything the December data slate could do to change your mind?
>>94372373Is Garfield a daemon?
Woah the hive storm box was $230. Fucking leviathan was $250.
>>94372415I want to get in at least one game with my Avatar before the end.
>>94372418Undoubtedly.
>>94372415Yeah like a half dozen times
>>94372415I've been playing for 25 years. A slow season ortho isn't going to stop me. Shit, we used to go years without updates sometimes
>>94371841
>>94372415why have you framed the question as if we are all in accordance of not playing?
>>94372415I've got a game today with my group. Gonna start a crusade next week. Don't see much changing for Chaos Space Marines or Sisters of Battle this December but I still think Daemon Princes should be less points.
>>94372415I need to get games in with my guard before they nerf the scion aquilons into the dirt!
>>94372318what does stock trading have to do with getting your bussy pounded on camera? also to get the best returns from military stocks you need to keep a close eye on where weapons will be deployed. It doesn't matter if Boeing has a system in IOC to mass fire 45x cluster munition equipped cruise missiles at once from a C-17 transport the stock won't skyrocket until boomers see it wok frying a Chinese battalion in CNN.
>>94372415>Do you think that you will play the game again before the end of the year?I'll be lucky to get a game in at all
>>94372468Jesus Christ, somebody help Sonic!
>>94372468>boeingI meant to change that to Lockheed but whatever.
>>94372468>what does stock trading have to do with getting your bussy pounded on camera?Those are the only two careers worthy of respect
>>94372460Nerf is coming next week so hop to it
What does the standard iron warrior terminator look like? I refuse to acknowledge they keep the same horny visage adorned on them.
>>94372547>What does the standard iron warrior terminator look like? they keep the same horny visage adorned on them.
>>94372415yes but making my army not garbage would be nice
Does anyone remember the dark furries?
>>94372552Sad!
>>94372571no nobody remembers gav thorpe's renegade abortionsbut I'm partial to the bleack brotherhood
>>94372547everything you've been told about iron warriors wearing only mk3 and hating chaos is as much of a meme as krieg shovels and purple orks are
>>94372586
>>94372415>Blood Angels end of the yearThat has to mean early-mid December, right? Nobody would be insane enough to drop product on Christmas.What could it be, anyways? A Primaris Baal Predator equivalent?
>>94372415A few of my friends seem to have jumped back on board this edition, and if they asked for a game I'd probably oblige, but I've been checked out on 10th since around September of last year and I have no strong urge to seek games on my own. I don't think that will change unless GW miraculously stops being so violently anti-hobbyist with their rules writing, and I don't think that's going to happen, so I might be out on the game side of 40k.
>>94372586even that old ass upgrade kit had a chaos star detail
>>94372590They're already out bro. It's done. All that's left is the combat patrol I think.
>>94372415>Do you think that you will play the game again before the end of the year?Nah, and the incoming death of the Veteran Guardsman killteam has killed my wanting to play Kill Team.
Halp me Anons, anyone's got Thousand Sons painted in pink and blue and is willing to share a photo or two?
>>94372586>>94372587Why do Iron Warrior players always insist that the IW look is Horus Heresy Mk2/Mk3 power armor and no chaos trim at all?For me it should be a balance of both MK2/MK3 heresy armour and chaos trim armour
>>94371823Are there any actual Votann fans here?I'm just curious.
>>94372631>Why do Iron Warrior playersAutism.>>94372660Who?
>>94372660Yes
Does anyone have some homebrew for the tarkatan Salamanders?
>>94372660I'm too autistic towards my own faction to ever consider collecting them, but they've got some very neat ideas going on and I disagree with a lot of the sentiments against them.
>>94372587they look a lot cooler with the horns
>>94372547these are iron warriors
>>94372739>chaos beaky helmetI haven't seen many of those even among the STL making sphere.
>>94372232In the SM2 game the front sight is actually hollow.
>>94372189all kill teams are essentially orks
>>94372442>why have you framed the question as if we are all in accordance of not playing?He'd be correct.
>>94369611New player here. Why do people complain about Forgeworld models? Do they suck?
>>94372660Yeah I like em
>>94371711>Another engineer character that's followed by a bunch of actual sentries instead of floating worker bots>Melee exo-suits (preferably big drill hands)>Dreadnaught equivalent>A tank that isn't a transport
>>94372797Super expensive compared to GW models while also having lower quality standards. Parts can be warped and need to be warmed to straighten out.
>>94372797>Do they suck?Yes.1. They are resin. It's shit to work with because you don't want to breath in the dust that comes off it when you shave and sand resin. Also you need stuff like super glue to build the models, god forbid if you ever drop the resin model since that thing is shattering into million pieces. And if it's a larger resin model be ready to pull out a drill and use metal rods to pin shit toget alongside glue2. They have no quality control3. Their prices are even worse when compared to regular 40k, especially considering the quality of product you get.4. Pic related is the type of "quality" you can expect with FW. The models in the pic are also fairly new and recent.
>>94372415im hyped for dkokhope they reveal soon
Warhammer Quest: Webway when
I've heard some theories that if the Great Horned Rat existed in 40k, he would instead be called the Great Horned Bat his dedicated marines would be the Night Lords, since they are devious, cruel, and cowardly. What do you think /40kg/?
>>94372631Because every person except you and me are fucking morons. Note how it's always "IW only wear stock mk3" or "IW have literally zero defining visual details and are just BL painted metallic", both obviously being wrong.
>>94372866nonsense since the GHR does exist in 40k since the warp is the same entity in both settings
>>94372586I don't know if anyone actually says this. I see more posts complaining about that mindset than I do people actually expressing it.
>>94372870Iron Warriors are best when they are Iron Hands but chaos.It actually makes them unique and fun to model.
>>94372189They changed it to "Warhammer Heroes" quite a while ago. They just made a Stormcast set.
>>94372883nope, fuck off coldsteel the hedgehogfag
>>94372893???
>>94372896your generic chaos siegefags don't get to be the super-duper special retards you want them to be
>>94372883iron warriors are siege experts not machine god followerspeople thinking they for iron hands but chaos are making up fan fiction to pretend a lame legion is actually cool
>>94372883I only ever cared about the bionics and daemon engines. The siege and Imperial Fist rivalry stuff is boring.
>>94372912??????
>>94372907Still not quite sure what you're talking about, but someone's models can "get to be" whatever they want.
Anyone have an updated pic of all the rumor engines?
>>94372866that's retarded and not actually a theory at all either
NGL the intense retard vs. mongoloid sped-offs undergone by /40kg/ every time the IW are mentioned kind of turned me off from the faction entirely. Thank goodness for Vashtorr giving me another outlet for my mecha-chaos autism.
>>94372878>I don't know if anyone actually says this. you lack awareness then
>>94372952I see people say things that get misconstrued as that, but that's all.
Friends want me to join there small casual WH 40K group. Wanted to go with Custodes, but they (at least on paper) look quite boring and whole tactic is about rolling 2+ or 4+ ;)Are there any quite elite factions (don't have time for painting) beside Space Marines and Custodes?Or maybe someone can share idea for 1000 Black Templar or Orks list? Don't have to be min / maxed.
>>94372949MOAR CYBERDAEMONS
>>94372964If you want a pure elite army, go knights and have your group hate you.You can also just go with bully Boyz or dread mob Orks, they can be pretty elite.
>>94372970That’s just a walking onahole
I wish there was a way to play as your dudes but online
>>94372970>admech parts worlds most expensive plaguebearer unit
>>94372949dark mechanicum are fun. So are traitor titan legions. It's the shame that Chaos Knights are so shat out. We could have had unique daemon titans like the Slaaneshi scout titans from Epic. Not just a normal knight with spikes.
>>94372949You do realize that Vashbore the Archfaggot is just the patron god of the Iron Warriors, right? >>94372924
I like the Word Bearers.>arrogant>self-righteous >sanctimonious >petty and cruel>extremely vain>hypocritical >self-aware, but pretend not to beThey're everything I despise about religious people, it's fucking great. The fact that fluff-wise the demonic-er than average is just the cherry on top. Sick colors too, wine red and silver go hard together.
>>94373013Yeah but when I say "My CSM are Vashtorr-aligned" I don't have to deal with retarded cretins like >>94372912 who will screech NOOOOO YOU CAN'T USE BIONICS YOU'RE MODELING THEM WROOONG"
Is it true that nobody from /tg/ has ever successfully submitted even a short story to black library?
>>94373023Why do you care what others will screech about?
>>94373012Agreed. The Abominant should have been the bare minimum level of diversion from standard Knight designs, not the extent.
>>94373025Why would anyone even want to?
>>94373036Because it's annoying, and I prefer to minimize my level of daily annoyance.
>>94373041Personal fame and glory. Getting your dick wet.
>>94372912>iron warriors are siege experts not machine god followersYou don't need to wank over the omnisiah to use bionics/cybernetics.
>>94373025I did
>>94373023That's fair.
>>94372974They already told Knights are banned ;) Will read more about Orks. Still open to advices on elite (more or less working) 1000 lists :)
>>94373059How did that go
>>94373025I'd rather submit a BL of Argel Tal and Kharn to a shojo magazine. They have significantly higher editorial standards than Black Library.
>>94372797-very expensive, like on the order of 2-3x the price for an equivalent size model of GW plastic, which is already expensive compared to other manufacturers -worse casting quality. bubbly resin, mold slips, broken parts, bent handles, you name it. they are famous for poor quality control, and from what i heard the last few years they havent even been cleaning the layer lines of the prints they use to make the masters out of the final molds, my flgs reported getting print layer lines on some of his official forgeworld models. -janky, often unsupported rules. their units can be overpowered or underpowered but rarely balanced, tend to go a long time without updates, get relegated to legends so they require opponents permission to field, and can sometimes be removed from the game without warning. ultimately they are known for producing boutique collector pieces in an already boutique game, but their price is outrageous and their quality is much poorer than you would expect
>>94372970That's cool and I'm going to steal the idea for my own dark mechanicum
>>94373100>>94373100>>94373100Some retard made a new thread (not me)
>>94373166He's a newfag, ignore the thread and stay here.
>>94373077You can go for Armour Heavy Space Marines.A solid 1k list for less than 30 models.
>>94371816>Nice looking.Custode anon doesn’t have very good pics but that lime green is an even flatter than sallyfag’s. Say what you will about his colour choice but there’s at least some variety and depth to his models. Spraying everything all one colour does not a good scheme make.
>>94373166I would prefer to pretend that thread does not exist
>>94372964grey knights are elite and and brain dead easy to paint> look quite boring and whole tactic is about rolling 2+ or 4+thats every elite army
>>94373240What's the cutoff for an elite army versus a hoard army? I know a lot of armies can be run as either, but what armies can only be run as elite or can only be run as a hoard?
>>94372823>>94372841>>94373150got it. why dont gw just make those models themselves?
>>94372415I’m playing another game before the end of the week lol. It still seems crazy to me that 99% of people in this hobby play less than once a month. Why have plastic army men if you never use them?
>>94372415Be wary of a batrep tonight because I've got a game in a few hours.How's the Lion? Opponent said he's gonna use him because I've never fought dark angels before.
>>94373269Designing and fabricating good plastic models is not a quick and easy process, especially since GW refuses to enlarge their operations.Their actual company asset value is ridiculously small compared to their market share.
>>94373283Expansion is risk, why bother?
>>94373271>that poor sally dreadnought in the back looking at his replacementagingdoglookingatnewpuppy.jpg
>>94373288It's not really a risk when the expansion is just you buying a new factory and then shoving in plastic injections machines you already use.
>>943729646 inceptors10 scouts1 techmarine1 gladiator lancer1 gladiator reaper1 redemptor dread1kpts with no chance of getting squatted.
>>94373292 I was using him as a reference Cus there’s a dead crisis suit in the scheme of my new dudes on his base lol.
Do chaos fleets use or meed mavigators? Its not like daemons will just let you pass through the Warp no matter who you are but i don't see how a navigator would be able to survive more than a second in the eye od terror
>>94373271From my experience, three main factors:1. Need car to reach LGS at more convenient times. Friends also live far away.2. Knowing the rules.3. WAACfags also not fun to play with. I don't care if a person wants to play well, but blatantly following tourneylists and being a very poor sport when losing anyways is meh.Thinking on it I could also include time investment but I and no one else I know IRL has made that specific complaint.
Here is an actual new 40kg thread>>94373348>>94373348>>94373348
>>94373305Nope, market might slip and then you’re out a couple million dollars for no reason. Better to just abuse the semi artificial scarcity of your product and keep jacking up the prices. GW COULD make more money overall by reducing prices and expanding production, but might not. Better safe than getting yelled at by a shareholder.
>>94373337Chaos navigators are far far more resilient and accurate than imperium navigators. The imperium relies on the god emperor to be a lighthouse in the darkness. Chaos navigators can see through the dark themselves.Not to mention possessed marines. They're the best navigators hands down because it's a literal daemon showing you the way. Which means the demon is never wrong.
>>94373269sometimes they do. forgeworld has been brought more in house than it used to be, and many horus heresy kits which used to be resin are being remade in plastic. the resin these days is mostly just used for 1 off units or upgrade kits. the reason being that resin is a cheaper material and process to cast in than machining a plastic injection mold
>>94373271id play more if people actually changed their lists up more oftencertain people aren't even worth asking for games because even if you say you want to fuck around with lower power stuff they'll bring the same optimal list in the best meta detachment that will only see change when the points change
Tau women are sluts for kroot cock
>>94371248No I hate Heresy stuff because it got GW to put ADB and his eternally-unresolved psychological issues over 40K
>>94371853If you think the beast masters aren't getting the axe along retinues you're being delusional, that leaves special characters, Grotesques as the only thing left.
>>94371919They already told us the twolost primarchs were brothers... But then again "there has always been female custodes"
>>94372433What makes this a slow season compared to what you experienced before?
>>94373307can i combine this with the dark angels battleforce
>>94372547im personally planning to bash cataphractii with some csm stuff I have lying aroundin the Iron Within animation the IW termie lord was basically just an understated version of the typical csm termie lord, I thought it worked pretty well
Anyone have the 2e Codex Imperialis PDF?
