Consolidating daemons into a Cult Legion release instead of continuing Daemons as a schizo codex with too many characters and no sense of cohesiveness.
Fast units with some decent shooting, maybe ways to generate critical hits to show the "perfection" angle of the EC.
Most importantly though, noise marines.

Dark Angels and Blood Angels should be again fused into Angels of Death

Drop Salamanders, drop White Scars, drop Raven guards.

Angels + Wolves + Ultramarines, rest should be your dudes

Fuse Sisters and Grey Knights and Agents
Mechanicus can stay
Guard can stay, and can use Knights

Chaos
CSM
Daemons
that's it... possible to soup based on your gods

Xenos
Eldari as one - eldari, drukhari, quinns, yannari or how they are called, all in one
Orks are ok, can stay
Tyranids! (oh my Emperor, you cannot have GSC and not have Tyranids)
Drop Necrons, drop Tau

knight armies have the potential for maximum fun if they would stop being bitches about them having overwatch and their bondsman abilities
also they should throw in shit like sacristans so they don't have to rely on allies to do objective monkey things
I don't care that the army is a stat check to timmy's LGBBQ marines who only use bolt pistols and ccw because he think it looks cool and is fluffy, every faction can bring tons of anti-armor or easily play the points game around knights much easier than they can

Foot guard can just play super heavy on objectives and farm points by screening and doing actions.

I always wanted an adeptus mechanicus lord of some sort who was this perfect, clean, immaculately sculpted greek statue of a lean adult man, like Zagreus from Hades, and he's wearing nothing but a simple but beautiful cloth tabard-singlet-sort of deal, held together with nothing but some beautiful silver threading, and he's even barefoot, and you're like "this? this is the adeptus mechanicus guy?" and at some point his perfectly sculpted pectorals slide open and you realize that he's living human skin and a brain and basically every single other thing in him is machine, moreso than most other mechanicus lords, and these little mecha-dendrites snake out of his chest cavity to connect to computers or whatever, and on the battlefield he's doc-ock-ing around the battlefield with spider leg like mecha-dendrites. A real ultra-hedonist who would probably be corrupted by Slaanesh.

>>94382055
Your list is retarded.

>Marines
Remove all Marine chapter supplements, they get one book with some chapter-specific units that can't mix with others.

>Imperium
Merge Knights into Admech codex
Make everything in Imperial Agents a legends datasheet

>Chaos
One book per god, daemons and aligned marine chapters go in the same book
One book for "the rest" (Vashtorr, belakor, black legion, traitor guard, chaos knights) with souping rules

>Xenos
Eldar and Deldar get one book.

There's no need to eliminate any armies, just stop having so many useless extra books

There are several directions you can go so it depends what flavor you like.
Vehicles is always a popular one, and so is Aspect Warriors in Phoenix lords.
Autarchs and Farseers are always good to have.
Wraith heavy lists are also quite popular, but they are good to splash even in other lists.
A handful of bikes is good. Never go full bikes though. That way lies madness...
And then there is Ynnari which is definitely an option but a whole other can of worms

An interesting elite melee unit of some sort and a cool looking generic Lord. Also that the army isn't designed so as to be overly dependant of Fulgrim. Maybe that Slaanesh Daemons are folded into the book, but only because people getting mad about daemons being separated would be funny.

hi, figurine scrub here, and board tourist
hopefully you understand what i've drawn here:
on this figurine there is a running pose where you are supposed to plant it on the platform (black line at the bottom) with the front of the bottom foot.

while cutting the mini out I cut away a tiny chunk at the back of the heel, (the red bit) that I thought was just gunk from where it was stuck in the box, but it ended up being part of the figurine and was supposed to be used for support.

now, it would make it extremely unstable to plant the figurine on the front of the foot alone, so I want to make a bottom bit of "dirt" or terrain (the red and the green bits I drew) as support, how should I go about doing that? will any material do, like random plastic soaked in glue to keep its shape/stay in place?

If it's not balanced well you might have to actually pin the mini into the cork though. You'll have to drill into that foot, put a pin in the cork, and put the other end of the pin in the foot.
Either way will work but I would reccomend at least trying the greenstuff because learning to use it is good for if you damage another mini in the future.

they absolutely should, I one hundred percent agree. Make them a species from the non-chaos portion of the warp, imply they traveled to 40K from "another universe, using the arcane lore of the warp" heavily implying that they are the same Skaven from warhammer fantasy, and they're warpsmiths. They'd fit perfectly.

10 doesn't work. The reason 20 arguably does is that your opponent simply might not be able to kill them all in one go, in which case Typhus is capable of bringing up to 16 of them back.

When you've only got 10 you can have a few killed with pistols then they get to hit Typhus as if he's T3 with only a few ablative poxwalker bodies

All of their niches are already taken and they'd offer nothing interesting to 40k.
>weird super advanced tech
Doesn't work because 40k is a scifi setting and everyone has that in spades.
Especially necrons, admech and votann, and chaos will probably have dark mech soon most likely.
>parasitic race of backstabbing scumbags that largely only exists to undermine their host society
Also pointless since GSC already exist and they are pretty much the same, and over all they do it better and they fit into 40k much better.
Genestealer's kiss is quite literally referred to as a "plague" occasionally, because it basically is, also once you look at the range lot of the models have similarities with skaven anyway, like aberrants/abominants being just stand-ins for Rat Ogres.

And lastly GW just recently updated the entire skaven range for AoS.
That already tells everyone that GW has zero interest to port skaven to 40k. Since GW is specifically axing ranges from their IPs so they aren't stepping on each other's toes so to speak.
Why play furry ratmen in AoS (largely speaking a less popular IP) when you could just play as furry ratmen in 40k (the more popular IP), it'd just mean that GW would lose money when it comes to AoS.
It's the reason why GW has either axed out all of the firstborn stuff or has shoved it into legends, they did all of that so people will go to play Horus Heresy if they want their manlet marines.
Another example that's closer to AoS, we literally saw GW remove the Beasts of Chaos army from AoS, no rules, nothing, and then they just shoved it into TOW to pad out its roster.

If Skaven ever come to 40k, it'd mean that GW would, currently as per its very obvious policy, have to axe out the brand new AoS skaven range that is less than 1 year old, and then also remake it before they can put it into 40k since the models just wouldn't fit aesthetically.


Space skaven are never happening.

By 40k logic they are fucking at this point.

Controversially I feel the same about the Kommandos kit. I put one together a week ago after just rejoining the hobby after being out of it for years, and it was not really all that fun. I love how they look when assembled but the assembly itself sucked. Referring to parts numbers for every single phase of the construction, like I was building a vehicle, sucked when making ten units for a very slapdash and intentionally "whatever" army like Orks. Conversely this week I've been putting together an old Boyz kit and I love doing it because there's always an element of excitement and exploration. "ooh, what will i do witht his one? Slugga? Choppa? Do I put the Rokkit Launcher on this one? Bald head? Helmet? Hair squig?" etc. Makes me feel like a kid again, fucking around and gluing whatever together.

>>
>>94383540
They are all mono pose. You can’t even run them as a unit of all sluggas or shootas so they will always be mis matched
>>
>>94383540
You're forced to do 4 sluggas, 1 heavy, and 5 shootas, rather than being able to do 10 of each or 5 of each or even 4 of each and 1 of each like the old kit. They're also monopose, meaning if you buy two boxes they'll all be in the same poses as in that image.

>>94383553

>>94383564
Yeah but part of the fun of warhammer is my guys have the items they are killing you with. Why would I want to do count as when the previous models didn’t need that
>>
>>94383564
That depends on your opponent and it's an issue that just didn't need to exist. To clarify, the old kits had 10 sluggas AND shootas. Not 10 total, 10 of each. You could do what you wanted and would have parts left over, which, ofc, is why GW wants to get rid of them.
>>
>>94383564
Of course you can but that doesn't make the kit any better
>>
>>94383577
Ah thats kinda bullshit yeah. But I feel like they've been doing that a lot lately. Every time some new unit comes out thats an "upgrade" of an older one, its always got less stuff in it.

Anyone elses real problem with Abadoons "actually, all my black crusades achieved their goals" thing isnt that some of them succeded, but that ALL of them did?

Im totally fine with the retcon that a few actually achieved their goal, maybe 2, 4, 6, and 8 (who do we apreciate) actually secretly succeded, but the rest genuinely failed. But saying they ALL did just stinks TOO rankly of retcon cope, and in the worst kind of way. If it was more "Abaddon is able to deal with setbacks and defeats and still push through" thats infinitely elivates him mor than "Actually all of them did what they were supposed to, all acording to keikaku". You know, so that he is a bad mother fucker who can roll with the punches and get through genuine losses while inching forwards instead of a plotarmor fag who wins even if he looses.

That why he is neither a wimp nor a mary sue.

Even the 13th black crusade was a failure.
Abaddon's plan was to completely blow through Cadia and destroy it and then head directly for Terra as he destroys everything in his path.
Evidenced by pic related, which is from the 6th edition Black Legion codex suppelement.
But then the entire black crusade gets stumped and stopped right at Cadia and it only ever gets resolved when Abaddon throws one of the BSF at it as a final gambit to salvage anything from the conflict.

The whole Great Rift being Abaddon's "real plan all along" is a retcon that GW created later because they realized how retarded it made Abaddon look when even at his most successful, he didn't win because he intended to do so, he only won by pure dumb luck.
>>
>>94383591
this opinion is a correct fact
>>
>>94383672
>The whole Great Rift
chances are that the great rift was in fact meant to lead directly to terra but other events out of abbadon's control ended up redirecting the course of the rift, such as magnus's actions and the tau incident with their 4th sphere warp drives, which is also why the orks call it gork's grin and attribute to its creation the will of their gods as well

the Executioners and Minotaurs are just fan theories afaik based on them being dickheads and loving axes (who doesn't love chain axes tho). The Sharks thing is from a novel where the leader of the Shadow Wolves says they are closer to sons of Angron than sons of Russ but he refuses to elaborate.

There isn't an obvious loyalist version like Sons of Pheonix/Soul Drinkers and if there were they would probably be the complete opposite of the actual WE in most ways (the Dude Love to WE's Mankind). Maybe I should create them but I don't have any unpainted tactical marines and I certainly won't start collecting SM any time soon.

Scythes geneseed was not compromised. The secret society within the chapter removed all the tainted initiates. Basically everything else, including the chapter fleet, the serfs, and the chapter master's human advisors were though.
Survivors didn't know about the secret society and assumed the worst. They wore psychic dampeners not because they knew that they were corrupted, but because they feared they were. In the end the dampeners weren't even necessary, a patriarch is an extremely powerful psyker - he doesn't need you to be a part of his brood to prevent you from directly attacking him.
The book doesn't make any of this clear so I don't blame people for misunderstanding things.

Russians are very good at using mongol symbolism.

>By instinct, [Marshal Tukhachevsky] was a romantic barbarian who abhorred Western civilization. He had the soul of Genghis Khan, of Ogdai and of Batu. Autocratic, superstitious, romantic and ruthless,he loved the open plain lands and the thud of a thousand hooves,and he loathed and feared the unromantic orderliness of civilization.He hated Christianity and Christian culture because it had obliterated paganism and barbarism and had deprived his fellow countrymen of the ecstasy of the god of war and the glamor of the "carnival of death."
