What's the "Big Change" that'll save codex SM?
Guard stuff
>>94388081
>>94388081Split point costs so they can bump up the cost of units for Special Boy chapters while not messing with Weenie chapters
>>94388098Finally... 200pts redemptors...
>>94388081-5 points on Reivers
>>94388081same thing that'll save admechwaiting 2 years for a new book in 11th
>>94388081The Agents book has different point costs for whether you bring some units in Agents or as Allies, if they want to make vanilla SM worth considering they could do that and make shit like inceptors or gladiators or whatever cost more points when ran in a divergent chapter.Even if this happens though, the only vanilla SM worth playing will be Ultramarines since they simply have too many unique characters compared to every other codex compliant option; nobody is gonna play White Scars for their ONE foot slogging unique model
>>94388143Thats funny
I want to collect an Evil Sunz warband and a Goff warband, both edition agnostic, but can't figure out what units to use for anti tank.For Evil Sunz, buggies with anti tank weapons is obvious, and I think that bikerz have been competent light anti tank in most editions, so that covers them.But would battlewagons and looted wagons be suitable for Goffs? It seems in most editions authors take great pains to describe how they don't much care for guns and artillery, leaving it to grots most of the time, in favor of close combat, so would dedicated fighting vehicles that aren't just battle taxis be out of the norm for them?I'm considering maybe a different warband to be more tech focused.
i asked a few questions ago. im new and still just figuring stuff out. from every single thing i've read legionaries with bolters are useless. issue is i simply don't think the sword dudes look as cool. their stances with the bolters are pretty sweet and i want them. am i doomed or is building something you don't like for the meta sovlless
>>94387995Chaos is always the DLC faction for some reason. They don't even think to include it in the game as a faction. It happened in total war, warriors of chaos were dlc. Battlefleet gothic 2. Fuckin dawn of war made a few but chaos was always ALWAYS optional and never enforced. I don't think they think chaos can sell on its own
>>94388182eliphas single handedly made dark crusade memorable
>>94388037>TQmy new codex, which I hope will be legal longer then 6 months this time
>>94388181Read the rules and decide for yourself like an adult
>>94388196Because chaos marines can have more personality besides differing shades of stoic disciplined soldiers and pious fanatic warrior monk. Reading about the Lord's of silence playing with nurglings is hilarious. Also the chaos protagonist in battlefleet gothic is very interesting, but I love his advisor.
>dark miniatures has shipped my T'au armyFinally
>>94388217>Because chaos marines can have more personalitythey can? then why do all narratives where they're involved become the same identical borefest?
>>94388181Always choose model aesthetics over meta. Meta changes, models are forever. Will you win as many games? No, but you'll have a collection you like.
>>94388081Just remove them from the game already.
>>94388037Why did you post all those xenos when talking about abhoonams, opp?
>>94388181Boltguns aren’t great because they lack any AP. It’s fine to run a bolter squad of them but I’d advise to throw in one a special/heavy weapon guy with the unit. Legionaires are battleline so don’t expect anything crazy from them.
>>94388146We need a generic Chapter Master that has Calgar's +1CP option
>>94388232post some examples.
>>94388181Legionaries rules only benefit melee and with those rules they're some of the best troops in the game. As bolter dudes? They won't ever do anything special and you'll be better off have 20 cultists. But that's this edition, 2 years from now who knows what they can do.You should at least build and paint a few of them with bolters though, it's a hobby and you should enjoy what you're working on
>>94388181>>94388294They look cool with bolters, so have bolters. No need to meta game. I was putting off buying a box because suggestions online overthink this stuff. It's better to have cool guys that lose than guys you don't care for that win.
>painted minis plus their sprues Would I be able to sell this for what I bought it at?
>>94388081>How to fix Vanilla MarinesAll Epic Hero marine units who do not have the Ultramarines Keyword may take 1 free enhancement from their respective detachment, even if Epic Hero units usually cannot. You cannot take Ultramarines units inDarnath Lysander, Pedro Kantor and Tor Garadon can choose Fleet Commander, Indomitable Fury, Stoic Defender or Architect of War.Iron Father Feirros may take Target Augury Web, The Flesh is Weak, Master of the Machine War or Adept of the OmnissiahFirestorm (And is counted as a Techmarine)Vulkan He'stan and Adrax Agatone may take Champion of Humanity, War-Tempered Artifice, Forged in Battle or Adamantine Mantle.Kor'Sarro Khan may also take a bike (wtf) and get access to Fury of the Storm, Portents of Wisdom, Feinting Withdrawal or Hunter's Instincts.Kayvaan Shrike may take The Blade Driven Deap, Ghostweave Cloak, Execute and Redploy, or Shadow War Veteran
>>94388317to what level are they painted?
>>94388143the sad thing is that I'm not even sure 65pt Reivers will be better than scouts just because Scouts get the heavy weapons. Which is absurd to think, that a Marine Phobos squad at the same cost would be worse than scouts.
>>94388317the model being painted is a problem they have to fix themselves, might as well buy a boxed kit and save the stripping if there no savings
>>94388325The weapons are basically irrelevant, scouts are action monkeys and the return to reserves shit is valuable
>>94388313If you aren't playing super competitive players it shouldn't matter much if you have 10 bolter legionaries vs 10 melee dudes. Trying to make sub par units work by running combos is pretty fun. Like using renegade raiders and a terminator sorcerer nearby can up these guys AP to -2 on a juicy target with the option to use a stratagem to bump it up more.
>>94388181nowadays people like to run a lascannon with their legionaries. That's a 48'' gun, wouldn't it be better to pew pew with those AP0 bolters than arm everyone with chainswords that won't see any combat because you want to keep that lascannon away from its targets?
>>94388181>>94388294>>94388313Bolter dudes look really cool, but I must admit it triggers my autismo how they homehow can't afford magazines. I get the aesthetic they were going for, but it's still funny how one dude needs to manually hold the ammo belt for his bolter like a WW2 machine gunner because somehow a fucking box is beyond the technological reach of the Dark Mechanicum
>>94388365the second dude with ammo belt next to him has a box on his back
>>94388317some people purposefully search for painted models, in those cases they have to be strong in the current meta and not painted to a derisive standard.if they're painted to a somewhat professional standard you can ask for more than the original pricetag.
>>94388365The guy in the back must feel like king shit with his drum fed bolter.
Sisters are cool
got a weird/dumb question. how does the warhammer community generally feel of minis with custom parts? (i.e. different head sculpts)i mostly play dnd and paint minis for that but my friends have been thinking about getting into warhammer.i noticed that people have made custom parts for their minis which seem pretty cool but would that actually cause any issues when using them in actual games? i dont want to bring my army to a hobby store only for someone to be like "you cant use that here because your minis arent original and have been modified" or something along the lines of that.
>>94388365What's interesting to keep in mind is that they're all veterans with thousands of years of experience over the Ultramarines. Which helps to balance out the tactics drawn from the codex astartes. One uses an exceptionally written battle doctrine, the other has thousands of years of hands on experience.
>>94388385Nobody has a problem with swapped heads, as long as the model is still like 80% from GW parts even tournaments will let you use them.Most people encourage it, making your army more personal and unique is always cool and more interesting.
>>94388385>got a weird/dumb question. how does the warhammer community generally feel of minis with custom parts? (i.e. different head sculpts)Anyone that gets bent out of shape about such a thing isn't worth talking to. As long as it looks good, changing parts up on models shouldn't be a problem. If anything it shows that you as a hobbyist care enough to do such things.
>>94388385Warhammer was made for customization friendo. Kitbashing is as old as the hobby first starting. They actually encourage you to get creative. Of course there's a few restrictions, in a tournament they'd frown on 3d printed models. If you're swapping some DND parts in I bet that's totally fine.
>>94388365Chaos Marines have always had shit logistics because the Dark Mechanicum are notably even more unstable and untrustworthy than even the Mechanicus. That and Chaos corruption and general worse conditions makes equipment malfunction and fall into disrepair much quicker.That being said CSM still just have more of an oldschool aesthetic covered in gribblies and technological mishmash as a design.
>>94388385no one cares about tiny 3d printed or 3rd party bits outside of very strict official tournaments as long as the purpose is to make your models more unique
>>94388382yeah, but their new shit is AoS price tier
>>94388232Retard
>>94388390That's not strictly true. There are more recent CSM warbands (Red Corsairs being the big one) that have zero veterans from the Heresy.IMO the bigger deal is that due to Chaos' self-destructive tendacies they don't have the logistical backbone of the Administratum and Admech to supply them. The Dark Mechanicus could've felt like shoving daemons into a washing machine instead of making bolter magazines today.
>>94388429Yeah I was just mentioning the veterans of the long war trait. But you're right, there's a few who are new.
>>94388400ok, this is great to know. >Of course there's a few restrictions, in a tournament they'd frown on 3d printed models. yeah, wasnt really gonna completely 3d print a model and say this represents such and such character because i couldnt afford them or something like that.this conversation came up among my friends when we were looking at the sisters of battle. some of them looked fine but some had a bit of a man-ish face to them so was probably thinking of swapping the heads out on them if i plan on playing them.
>>94388400>Of course there's a few restrictions, in a tournament they'd frown on 3d printed models.They don't give a shit.
>>94388412>posts a loyalist
>>94388435I'd always presumed that Horus Heresy era Chaos Marines were actually an extreme minority and the rest are filled from 10,000 years of turncoats and newbreeds. Sure a majority of named characters are from the Heresy but it also makes sense because they'd on average be the most experienced and blessed even with the Warp's timeshifting. Even some random Chaos Marine that turned in M38 would be a super veteran compared to any non-Dread loyalist if they got even half of that time in real-relative.
>>94388447You'd be right. Most Heresy era marines are dead or insane chaos spawn.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94388444Trips of truth. I came across an ancient neckbeard who thinks 3d printing will be made illegal someday. Absolutely hates the concept of it. You find all types in this hobby.
Since havocs can ignore all modifiers to hit does that mean they can shoot overwatch at base BS?
>>94388441If you wanna swap their head with a 3D one then go for it. Pretty sure players with thank you for fixing their mannish looking faces.
>>94388400My LGS is really anal about custom models and parts for some reason, but they do host tournaments there so that's probably why.
Thoughts?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OT0rtkRvLM
>>94388321>How to fix Vanilla Marines>Make them even more dependant on special character herohammer
>>94388467never give up deldarposter
>>94388473Nope, overwatch states you only hit on an unmodified roll of 6. There's no modifier (+ or -)to that you just have to roll a 6 to hit
>>94388479Same, it's usually people like shop owners that have an opinion about 3d models. But before printers, kitbashing with anything was fine I heard, as long as people understood what they were looking at
>>94388365Belts are just more chaotic than magazines. They flop around and are harder to control. Hence more chaos.
>>94388467what's a dark eldar?
>>94388503They've always had a rough "60%" rule for years and years where at least 60% of the model has to be identifably GW or something. However, the shop has gotten a 3d printer in recent years. I don't play in tournaments so I can't tell you whether they get anal about people using 3d printed parts in that setting.
>>94388514an eldar from compton
>>94388497Speaking of giving up, what happened to the guy who said he was going to exercise every day until the Emperor's Children released?
Don't have a cutting mat but I found a spare floor tile. Will that work?
what's cooler as allies, deathwatch or sisters?
>>94388514Drew Carey, as they're known today.
>>94388533Depends on if you're fighting Xenos or Heretics.
>>94388544there's a difference?
>>94388531no, the floor tile will melt the plastic be careful
>>94388531I'm not sure if you're serious but in case you are you'll probably chip your knifes blade if you push too hard onto that shit
>>94388229Their quality sucks
>>94388561he's a tau coomer, he's already planning to cover his battlesuits and tanks in big titted vagina heads
>>94388410AoS is way cheaper than 40k. What do you mean by this?
>>94388561they're the highest quality recasters out there
>>94388531You don't really need a cutting mat. It's something everyone buys but never uses.
>>94388547Oh shit>>94388549Oh fuck ok. I'll get a mat then
>>94388576Not even close.
Alright guys, an oddball question: Is there a 40k YouTube channel that you emotionally associate with a certain period of your life — like, when you were in bed sick with COVID, or just moved in with your girlfriend, or kicked out and were staying in a hotel for a week, etc?
>>94388534Does the Imperium call them Drukhari now? I highly doubt they call them anything but Dark Eldar no matter what they call themselves.
>>94388602the cope of the nomodels faggot
>>94388593I use mine all the time what the fuck are you talking about?
>>94388620I liked listening to Baldamort but all the 40k memories I cherish were before there was a 40k Youtube.
>>94388519Meaning they have a pass?
>>94388632They do call them drukhari
>>94388635Incoherent retardation
>>94388632I doubt they call them anything beyond Alien most of the time. If they absolutely need to make the distinction probably just Eldar or Dark Eldar, or whatever variation of that in their own language.
>>94388638For what?
>>94388685>no responseI accept your concession
>>94388632Odds are a good chunk of the imperium, isn't terribly well versed in the differences between various kinds of eldar to begin with. That's more for the Ordo Xenos, space marine commanders experienced in such things, etc.
>>94388632Your mistake is thinking the name change was based in lore, and not GW asshurt following Chapterhouse.Even the most bigoted and ignorant Imperium guardsman uses the 100% accurate copyright-friendly named to refer to every xenos because otherwise GW executives seethe and piss themselves in anger at memories of a Judge telling them "Look, you can't sue somebody for selling something online labeled "Imperial Guard" or "Vampire Count"So now it's ASTRA MILITARUM and SOULBLIGHT GRAVE LORD, to try and make third party sellers easier to die if they use the copyright friendly branded name. Of course all the third party sellers just use the old names everyone still uses anyways, or something like "Evil Space Elves" to sell Dark Eldar proxies, so the entire thing is just an exercise in retardation
>>94388531I'll save you some time.Go into a fabric/quilting/hobby store. They sell cutting mats for cheap.Also, get yourself a God Hand pair of plastic cutters. They cut through plastic like butter and cut down on the amount of cleanup you need to do on the models themselves.
>>94388697For.. cutting? And painting on I guess but mostly cutting.
>>94388718What are you cutting that requires pressing a knife into your table? Do you not have clippers?
>>94388716>Go into a fabric/quilting/hobby storeThis, good video tutorial on what you need:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLmD_69pXpk
>>94388731I fucking hate you anon
>>94388737Its informational
So…what IS the knowledge level of the typical Imperium citizen in regards to the state of the galaxy? Like, assuming a fully integrated Imperium world is the concept of “space” itself commonly known or would you expect that only out of say mid-hive dockyard workers, but an lower-hive worker on the same planet wouldn’t know anything beyond his local hive zone and the manufactorum he works at? Is even literacy common?
CHOPPEERRRRRRR
Whats the most fun army to play and why is it orks?
>>94388632I call them Koreans
>>94388731Imagine these cunts today. They wouldn't be cringy furries they'd be highly politically engaged.
If an Astartes must be punished, ie, issued a penance, is that the sole discretion of the individual’s commanding officer? The other squad members have no say in it? If the individual marine feels that its unjust is he supposed to suck it up and take it because that’s the chain of command so tough shit?
Why don't they just use parachutes?
>>94388816Why do you think they go rogue
>>94388753The absolute standard Imperial citizen is aware of Terra, Mars and probably the local Sector Capital and Shrine World. They're unaware of the cultures of specifics of these places outside of some rote understanding and theological praise.They do not know the Imperium's lingua franca outside of a few words and are in awe at those blessed and educated enough to speak High Gothic. They are also likely illiterate outside of the symbols necessary to do their work but this isn't a strict rule.They have likely never been off-world and likely do not know anyone who has been - those who pilot voidships are strange, foreign creatures that seem off and anyone outside of the local pecking order come off as weird folk. A vast majority probably cannot name any of the major non-Imperial factions by name and may not even know they exist, with Orkz being perhaps the only exception. They understand the Adeptus - Astartes included - through superstition and ignorant obedience and likely have no idea how the politics or logistics between these factions work.These rapidly fade away the moment you go up the ladder towards Adepts, but for the vast majority? As ignorant as they come, the Imperium likes them that way.
Can space marines eat peanuts?
>>94388531Are you trying to knife the parts out of the sprues? Just use sprue cutters.
>>94388160Nobz with Power Klaws? I don't keep up with meta so I don't know if it's viable, but it feels goffy enough.
>>94388836No lmao, what gave you that impression.
>>94388828I think you're wrong, read Eisenhorn sometime for a better look at 'normal' Imperial life. Bequin, at the beginning a simple whore, traveled between planets easy enough. Imperial Guard veterans exist in their millions and tell tales of far off worlds. Merchants know of xenos species and their technological capabilities. What you've described might be accurate for hive scum, but not a normal citizen on a regular civilized world.
>>94388531I got my cutting mat at the dollar store. If you're tile is a really thick linoleum it might be okay, but most floor tiles are meant to be cut with a box cutter aside from ceramic ones
>>94388881Abnett's books are a huge departure from other 40k fiction.
>>94388890Where else besides Necromunda do we get a look at normal civilian life though?
>>94388881It's much more up to interpretation than you're presenting. Consider that Eisenhorn is part of the Abnettverse and that should be enough to realize there's no real truth on the matter.
>>94388881Abnett has been a divisive author in his betrayal of standard Imperials. I'm not necessarily saying it's not canon and he's been foundational to the setting but he is pretty strictly the outlier that gives Imperial citizens the single least messed up portrayal of any author.>Imperial Guard Veterans, MerchantsAlready the top 0.1% of the most travelled Imperials.>Regular CitizenHive World population eclipses all other populations combined and are therefore statistically the average. Civilized Worlds aren't much better depending on the source and in some sources like Dark Heresy by Black Industries are the backwards ignorant hicks of the Imperium who have even worse education.It's all up to the author at the time though.
>>94388896Dark Heresy 1st Edition, which was largely written in-house, is the single deepest, widest and most detailed depiction of Imperial society by far, nothing else even comes close and it's where a lot of the lore nerds of the late 2000s were drawing inspiration from for how the Imperium functions.It does not portray the average Imperial in a kind light at all.
>>94388912>>94388900>>94388899>>94388896>>94388890>>94388881In the end does this discussion even matter? Shits made up on the spot to fit whatever narrative will sell models at the time. Plus it might change depending on sector, subsector, and specific systems or worlds.
Do you guys think that Ironstorm could go back to its pre-nerf state if they stopped divergents using it?i.e. aura on the enhancements and 1cp mercy is weak
>>94388753it depends on the world but most imperial citizens don't know anything outside their sector (if that in the case of medieval worlds) but the imperial cult means they know about terra, mars, the emperor, his sons (9 of them at least) etc. It's like "what would the average 10th century english peasant know about the world". They'd know the river jordan was where Jesus was baptized and egypt was where Noah freed the jews but they wouldn't know exactly where it is or anything not mentioned in the bible. They also wouldn't know the bible or latin and get most of their biblical information from simplified mystery plays. There are some great 15th century biblical ballads out there. Like one of Jesus playing football and getting bullied by rich children:>“Ah, we’re all lords’ and ladies’ sons>Born in a bower and hall>And you are naught but a poor jewess’s child>Born in an ox’s stall.”>“If I am naught but a poor jewess’s child>Born in an ox’s stall,>I’ll make you believe at your latter end>I’m an angel above you all.”>So he made a bridge of beams of the sun>And over the river ran he;>And after him ran these rich young lords>And drowned they all three. neat to imagine imperial citizens having similar confused retellings of the Emperor imposing unity.
>>94388926Entirely fair, just that from an average standpoint I think most authors trend towards the actual average Imperial being a malnourished, barely educated, broken wretch over Abnett's leanings. Most authors do tend to agree that once you go above the Imperium's essential slave labour camps and into the 'high life,' of an Adept's assistant, Imperial Guardsman or basically anything but a disposable muscle sack they start to get local lore about the setting though.
>>94388365Some of those dudes are meant to be scavengers, such as the night lords in the adb novels or renegade warbands like the red corsairs, space pirates if you will. They don't always have the option to choose their gear.
Do Eldar just get shat on for being stupid no matter what they do? I see a lot of people criticizing them for not being straight with the Imperium whenever there's a common foe involved, but it's not like they have any reason to do that, as the outcome is always the same: the Imperium tries to kill them.>be Idranel >don't collaborate with the Imperium to face the Tyranids together>stupid Eldar witch picked a fight with the Imperium while also fighting nids>be Macha>barely collaborate with the Imperium to fight Chaos together, only tell them what they need to know and literally beg Gabriel not to shatter the macguffin or everyone would be boned>stupid Eldar witch it's your fault everyone was boned, not the guy who actually released the Demon after you begged him not to>be Taldeer>collaborate with the Imperium to fight the Necrons together, help them from the shadows and then come out clean telling them why you're there and ask to help them (even after they sicked a Vindicare on you), only for them to betray you and leave you to be slauthered by Berserkers and Orks>stupid Eldar witch the Imperium doesn't need or want your help to defeat Necrons, go fucking die
>>94389007I refuse to believe it's easier to come across functional power armor than a fucking mag or even belt ammo box.
>>94388390Not always they're vets. With warp timefuckery, someone can be bajillions of years or right after the Horus Heresy for all we know. Maybe during but somehow wound up in the future.
>>94388830Deadly allergic to them, sorry
>>94388635>I haven’t seen it so it doesn’t existYou are a retarded
>>94389012It's not anti-Eldar bias, it's pro-Imperial bias. Most 40k fans are Imperial fans and will engage in the usual array of cherrypicking, recontextualizing and other sort of arguments to make the Imperium come out looking as good as it can in any situation.Every other fandom of every other faction does this, you just see the Imperial take the most because of population.
>>94389007the scavenging thing gets pretty funny considering that they mostly fight dudes in MK10 nowadays
>>94389099I don't know but pedos play tyranids
>>94388710>>94388632The 40K Ultimate Lore Guide uses Drukhari and Dark Eldar interchangeably.Fabius in his first novel corrects a guy using "Eldar".
>>94389105I'd give her (male) my top gun, if you know what I mean
so what are the Repulsors supposed to be doing over the gladiator chassis or redemptor? A predator feels like it's doing better compared to the anti-tank repulsor, the mixed damage profile seems a bit odd, no charging out of transports makes it flat out worse than a land raider, and if I want "giant dude with tons of guns" surely I just run a redemptor?They feel too outclassed to be a shooty-unit transport (Impulsors are king), there are better all-rounder shooty vehicles (redemptor), specialized antiX (reapers/predators/lancers) are better at killing preferred targets, and not having charge on disembark makes it worse than all the land raiders
>>94389123>CorrectsThat's such a weird thing when you think about it. It'd be like someone condescendingly calling you retarded for calling a German a German instead of a Deutsche even though you're speaking English. I get that it's tongue in cheek but that feels so strange.
>>94388725I often times like to hold the model against the table and cut downwards when im trying to clean off some sort of sprue bit or kitbashing item. I dont like holding the models in my hands and cutting it that way, i pricked myself too many times like that.
do you guys think it would be rude to bring my own mat and terrain to a local store? the ones they have at the store for playing look like shit if im gonna be honest, like basic low effort setups
>>94389153I don't think it'd be rude. Just keep good track of your terrain/show the worker there so he doesn't think your stealing his terrain when you pack up
>>94389139Repulsors are 60-105pts cheaper than a Land Raider, and are actually a transport unlike other options. Yeah you don't get the move+charge, but you still get a T12 16W chassis and you can still move and disembark a 6+character unit of Aggressors or Eradicators. The hop back in ability prevents getting tied up by chaff for the latter, too.
>>94389153No, and even if it was you should do it anyway to try to remind the other hobbyists what they're missing from the game because of the store's laziness. A full painted and well-terrained game is much more fun than an ugly one. Show people what they're missing. Also>post games and tables
>>94389105I’d give her by Big Weapon Cannon if you get my drift
>>94389198
>>94388782Neat!
>>94389153Nah, I've stored plenty of terrain at my LGS. It does depend on the owner, though. If he cares about the game at all he should be stoked to see someone letting them borrow some nice terrain.
>>94389105Id suck his cock and spit out what’s left on angron to function as a primer…is what I would say but that nigga is ugly as all fucking hell. White boys need to learn to self assess themselves better cause that femboy was a fekrenstein
>>94388160Ork walkers have generally been an acceptable fixture for Goff armies.
>>94389022Power armor lasts a lifetime tho
>>94389027Been getting into chaos marines more and it just makes me laugh to consider a chaos marine who personally saw the god emperor when he was just the biggest shiniest guy, but not some revered god like the imperium depicts. To them, he was like a bad ex employer. Imagine Nazis went into a time rift, came back today but saw Britain worshipping Churchill as a god.
>>94389323A lot of sources suggest that Chaos Marines without a good compact with the DarkMech have a real difficult time keeping their armour maintained, to a degree where even with salvaging most suits they were are either glitchy or straight up missing a handful of systems. To make up for this the most well connected or blessed of them have all sorts of weird Chaos, Xenos or Archaoetech stuffed in there that was never meant to be, improving or adding completely new functions.
>>94389022Space Marine too dummy to know how to make them. Usually the Serfs do that and CSM don't have the restraint not to murderfuck them.
Your army is lame and gay, just like (you)
>>94389022It's not making a magazine. It's making a space magic magazine of Bolter size that somehow has 30 rounds.
>>94388365>but it's still funny how one dude needs to manually hold the ammo belt for his bolter like a WW2 machine gunner because somehow a fucking box is beyond the technological reach of the Dark MechanicumOnce again, Space Marines just wish they were orks. They're big tsun for orks to the point they retconned primarchs to work like warbosses.
>>94389359>It's not making a magazine. It's making a space magic magazine of Bolter size that somehow has 30 rounds.The individual bolts in 40k art are always over sized, they are oversized even in the recent SM2 game.All bolters as a standard, are .75 in caliber. Unless it's specifically specified, like with the tigrus pattern which is .60 caliber.Once you realize that, then it is easy to see how you can stuff like 30 bolts into 1 sickle mag of most bolters.
>>94388365CSM run on vibes. The virgin primaris marine with his scoped boltrifle wants everything tactical due to playing too much COD 4.the chad legionary lives to feel the bolter in kick in his fist and sights/sounds of battle so he blazes away hence the feed belts.
>>94389430>chad legionary lives to feel the bolter in kick in his fist and sights/sounds of battleThat's an ork. You're describing an ork again.
>>94388037>Best (ab)humans>Posts Leagues?
>>94389432On a long enough time span everything evolves into Ork.
>>94389430But you’re a virgin that started 40K after you saw primaris marines.
For scale, this is what a 25 round drum mag looks like for 12 gauge (75 cal). Granted, drum mags are extremely inefficient in space to capacity ratio
>>94389462Doesn't seem that crazy for a bolter, given their the size of a normal man's torso.
>>94389432What is Chaos but a shallow reflection of Gork and Mork
>>94389007I love the bizarre detail of this guy's power pack thrusters being melta nozzles
>>94389475>What is Chaos but a shallow reflection of Gork and MorkA miserable little pile of secrets.
>>94388181yea same problem. maybe just as a last resort save:you could model them with the cool boltguns and play them as chosen. those have a boltgun, a boltpistol and a CCW anyway.it's a desparate measure but maybe a compromise
>>94388365How the hell do you belt feed through a magazine well? Do you manually chamber the first round?
>>94389105Salmon is a dreadful color, especially for clothing.
>>94388037>What upcoming content are you excited about?
>>94389487Don't belt fed guns also have a mechanism in it that also pulls on the ammobelt itself?I'm asking because I know shit about guns.
>>94389487With a lot of effort and maybe Soviet-era space magic.
>>94389499Yes, this was a thing. No, it didn't get adopted.
>>94389497Yes its part of the ejection system. Its Rule of Cool for CSM to make them look more barbaric. Dont worry about it.
I will worry about it because it doesn't make sense.
How useless is a Heldrake? Im all about running fluffy lists that are suboptimal, as thats what i've done for ages but I dont want a 205 point piece of uselessness.
I applaud the Serf who managed to stuff 30 Bolts in this thing.
>>94389520Pretty okay unless your enemy has a primaris dreadnought and a big stone statue
>>94389530What annoys me more than how much ammo a bolter can carry is how astartes are never depicited in carrying ammo, CSM or SM. Some primaris have pouches but the iconic marine is bare power armour with 1 gun with whatevers in it and a melee weapon.Maybe theres an ammo servitor carrying it all for them just off screen. Maybe 40k should have sticked closer to Dune and treated its ranged weapons with the rarity Dune does
>>94389448what exactly caused such projection anon? I briefly collected space marines as a 2nd army after seeing the Blood Angels codex on a rack. The 3rd edition one that was tiny and 1/4 the length of a normal codex so much so the binding came apart just by heavy reading. and I get my bussy pounded regularly>>94389520no aircraft are really balanced since GW/Cuddence wishes they didn't exist but I've found it ok at tank busting with the chaincannon and drawing fire. If it couldn't teleport anime style 20+" it would be worse than a single heavy weapon terminator.
>>94389573Trying too hard.
>>94389573I figured it was just a big distraction with a mid weapon. Its between it and a squad of termies and I cant quite decide. Its just for a 1.5k list so pretty small fry anyway since I dont have a ton of models but I've finally found somewhere to play
>>94389589the Heldrake is better for tankbusting since it can buzz around from T1 blasting things but termies are more useful. They can actually gain ground on the table instead of flying around squaking and shitting bullets.
>>94389622>tankbusting>6 x S8 AP1 D2
>>94389489*KABAL
>>94389627vs 4x S7 AP-1 D1 yes. Unless combi-meltas get stats back termies aint shit against tanks unless they can sucessfully charge from deep strike.even then what will they do after they kill one tank? waddle at 3" towards another tank.
>>94388926No. And it annoys me when people act like 40k has any actual rules.
So when are we getting a Grot character in 40k?
>>94389627Seems pretty good for lighter vehicles. Ive got lascannons out the ass for bigger tanks and a forgefiend. Im just trying to get a game with what I've got rather than dropping another 200 on another forgefiend and vindicators.
>>94389567I agree what you're talking about, but nowadays, some miniatures have these pouches, which I think are supposed to hint at ammo. Of course, it's not visibly enough for the amount of dakka they provide in depictions, but that, including the shell-less vs shell-ejections is just an ancient conflict between in-universe depictions and visualizations. If possible, I'd try to ignore it under "just wouldn't look cool if they were loaded with magazines"
>>94389651and @myself: I understand that these depict holsters, not the best example, but maybe you know what I mean
>Looking at forgeworld stuff for fun>Gorgon transport costs more than the Baneblade sized Machariuswow! what the fuck!
>>94389639Not particularly. They're essentially equal (1.3W from Combis, 0.6W from autocannon vs. 2.0W from heldrake autocannon) unless the target is in cover, in which case Termis are better.
>>94389651a lot of space marines have pouches on their belt and other stuff. For example some of the old Zerkers have bandoliers despite not even having bolters.
>>94389671>>94389639I take it back, messed up my math. They are literally equal (0.7W from Termie autocannon)To say nothing of Termies being an actually good unit otherwise. With meaningful melee.
>>943896711.3W? nigga this aint a AA battery fuck you talking about. Also we are talking about tanks. how the fuck do you work out that S4 combi-weapons are making 2x as many wounds on a tank than the autocannon? anyway the anon asking should get Oblits instead.
>>94389447Ork are the crabs of space
>>94389688>Also we are talking about tanks. how the fuck do you work out that S4 combi-weapons are making 2x as many wounds on a tank than the autocannon?I don't rely on feelycraft, for one. Neither do a meaningful amount of damage but when you have full rerolls, sustained hits and dev wounds, things slip through.
>>94388181In crusade (pre-codex) I've run a bunch of undivided boltgun legionaries, played into Sisters and nids a few times and they did surprisingly okay. not the more impressive output of khorne chainswords, but by weight of fire in shooting and melee even a bunch of S4 AP0 can deal damage against low toughness targets. if you're going to be playing into other MEQs or tougher you're probably gonna have a bad time, but anything squishier will suffer the volume
>>94389642one day 40k will get a whole spin off faction for the grot revolutionariesthat day is most likely not close yet
>The temptation to buy the blood angels army box even though I dont really play bloodangels nor like their new model range much and I already play a different space marine army with angel in the name
Is this a good deal ?
>>94389738spending any amount of money on ATVs is not a good deal
>>94389642Bro??? Your red gobbo????
>>94389688I fucking hate the new oblit sculpts but they seem pretty good ruleswise. Im running pact-born zealots though, if that makes a big difference.
They should add a support unit that's a nurgle hot tub that replenishes nurgle units and damages other in an air affect.Just a big stinky tub. A nurgle pool party.
>>94388365>>94388365No retard, it isn't that a box is beyond the dark mechanicum, it's that that guy used up all of the magazines he had and hasn't had a chance to meet with a dark magos to get more in exchange for slaves. There aren't any CSM quartermasters to give you new magazines so if all of yours get lost, damaged, or stolen, too bad.
>>94389743Should I swap the 3 ATVs for 2 assault intercessors with jump packs?
>>94389105I cannot stop laughing
>>94389748Imagine if they made an actually serious miniature instead of a christmas themed one
>>94389750I just run metal ones and if the other player complains I tell them to just use whatever line of sight they think they have but I don't associate with such people generally.
>>94389105I'm glad traps aren't a thing on 4chan anymore. This pic is fucking nasty
>>94389099tau, admech, necrons, thousand sons
>>94389802All thanks to pic's efforts.
>>94389802>I'm glad traps aren't a thing on 4chan anymorewhat sort of delusion is this lmao
>>94389802yes I'm glad it's been replaced with twinkposting. Traps are a desecration of the youthful masculinity of twinks.
>>94389730Buy them and paint them green
>>94389797I'm a monumental retard and can just get a better 3rd party sculpt for cheaper
>>94389792Iz you stupid?
>>94389825I was honestly considering painting them in a special color scheme. That way I can use the dangels only models when i wanna play dangels, bangels when i wanna play bangels, and I can mix and match the "regular space marines" as I desire.
>>94388365just look at the poses with the bolters compared to the melee ones. the melee ones look just awful to me. the bolter ones look classic. they look like they're really in the thick of it.
>>94389670The Gorgon is the same chassis as the macharius, both are a good deal smaller than a baneblade. unless you mean the Centaur
I want to do an Egyptian based army. Should I go thousand sons cult of magic, necorns, or make a guard based of the current Egyptian military?
>>94389890>make a guard based of the current Egyptian militaryembezzle 500 points of your army?
>>94389877Just model them they way you like. If you're worried about wizzywig fags just glue chainswords to their backs or on their belts
>>94389642Noone remembers makari
>>94389836>this post is offtopic
>>94388182Chaos was in the base Dawn of War. They're also often what I'd call a "secret villain." You start a game fighting some other stuff and during the campaign it turns out that Chaos is there and they're the actual bad guys and final boss. Happened in Dawn of War, Space Marine, Space Marine 2, Fire Warrior, probably some other titles too. Other example of a "secret villain" would be Necrons, like in Winter Assault or Rogue Trader. Technically Genestealer Cults could also be that, but they're more like mid-game "secret villain," like in Shootas, Blood & Teeth or Rogue Trader with the Void Shadows DLC.
>>94390104No, you just fight chaos in DoW 1, they don't have a campaign. Only playable in multiplayer. Unless you mean there is a DoW 1 game that was specifically about playing as chaos but I couldn't name any.Also isn't every enemy besides orks doing secret invasions?
Can bel'akor be souped into a chaos space marine or chaos knight army?
>>94390160Yes, though you have basically fuck all reason to do so
>>94389239where is this playmat from? it has a very nice mediterranean city feel.
Feel like I was going crosseyed painting all the little gold rings on their quills yesterday
>>94390236Good dorgs
>>94389890Current would be more unique. You could probably find OOBs online for them.
I'm thinking about converting my imperial navy breachers to represent wardens on the Black Ships - the ships that carry psykers to terra for sacrifice unto the golden throneAny ideas on modifying them to give off that vibe better?
>>94390236Looks like you had fun with them. Are those the killteam ones on the left? I hadn't realized they were basically pups compared to the full kit.
I wish Abaddon looked as cool as Archaeon. Or at least had a helmet. He looks so fucking stupid with his ugly topknot.
Custodes are just too damn ugly. Hardly any room for customization without it being a whole fucking hassle too.
>>94390398A lot of WoC stuff looks better than CSM desu
>>94390391Wait, no they aren't. But on the subject, jesus christ I just went to the place you'd naturally go to look for the kit (their store) and I find it's already delisted. What in the fuck, that shit is 2 years old and it's fucking vanished.
>>94390391Pups come with the Carnivore squad as a fun bonus. The KT dogs are the ones with the bags
>>94390236
I'm starting 40k for the first time and am trying to decide between world eaters and blood angels. I dont mind painting chaos trim that much. Can anyone explain the playstyle differences and and warnings they might have for either army?
>>94390455blood angels spam jump packsworld eaters only have foot charges and vehicles
>>94390455Bangles are a real army. Wheat ears are a supplement given a codex. You figure out the rest
>>94390398archeon is simply my favorite dude in the entire setting and is why i went with csm just to taste a piece of his glory through proxy because i don't like aos
>>94390455WE are going to have more initial turn 1 mobility through scouting, and Angron is an extremely powerful force multiplier. He can and will solo half of someone's army if they don't respect him. But most lists aren't going to include much meaningful shooting and other than aforementioned angry man you're running melee on foot, which is easier to cuck entirely. BA models individually are going to be less powerful (notable exceptions) but jump pack infantry with advance and charge have a silly threat range that starts to become sort of impossible to screen effectively. You also have access to the entire marine roster so there's more potential tools in the box
>>94388533It depends on your army. I assume guard so sisters is kind of a funny attachment but definitely doable.If it’s witch hunters sisters is another obvious choice.Space marines are the standard ally.I like sisters more because they’re unhinged and while their armor is the same, the fluff behind them is cooler.
>>94390398I disagree. Abaddon's face being exposed is addressed in the Fall of Cadia novel in several ways.1-Archaon's helmet incorporates the Crown of Domination which displays the mandate of the Chaos Gods in their Everchosen. Abaddon, on the other hand, was the Mark of the Chaos Ascendant, which appears on his forehead. It won't do to cover it up.2-Abaddon does not need head protection. The tremendous Chaos energies and uncountable invisible daemons swirling around him turn back attacks before they could land on his form. Abaddon withstood the concentrated and directed firepower of an entire Cadia regiment without suffering any damage. Even if attacks land on his head/face he is hardy enough to shrug it off. He got shotgunned in face. It was just a scratch. He got shot in the face with a hosshot masterwork laspistol. It was a flesh wound. He got hit in the side of the head with a synaptic disintegrator. It did nothing.3-Finally the most important part of why Abaddon is helmetless is revealed in the novel. It's meant to show one of the most important themes about him. The theme that he isn't corrupted by Chaos. To have the harbinger of humanity's damnation and ruin not wear the visage of a monster but have the face of a man is meant to be profoundly poetic.
94390526fuck off carnac
>>94389836all I see is Faceless Void from Dota
>>94390526every single word in this post is like liquid shit being forced into my urethra
>>94390533don't engage with carnac
>>94390527No.Votann novel is tomorrow.Are you hyped? A fun way to spend the weekend.
>>94390535You don't solve a problem by ignoring it.I am no coward.
>>94390544people have tried telling him how retarded his dragonball vs superman tier posts are for 7 fucking yearsthere's no reasoning with his type of brainrot
Does this mean we're like a year from release if they just got renders?
>>94390551If you are allergic to nerdy discussion you are on the wrong site.
>>94390414Personally I find using terminator and saggitarum helmets instead of the conehead plumed ones does the a lot for them.The new model is fuck ugly however
>>94390535But he's so fucking wrong, so intolerably, obviously, cripplingly wrong about every single thing about 40k and how it should be if someone that wasn't retarded was writing itIt's hard to not cry about people like him being allowed to speak
>>94390554it's not nerdy discussion when you go UHM ACKSHUALLY ABADDON IS SO COOL AND BADASS HE DOESN'T NEED A HELMET A TITAN CAN HEADSHOT HIM AND HE'LL BE FINE AND HE'S SO SUPER STRONG THAT HE'S IMMUNE TO CHAOS ENTIRELY IT'S SO COOL PLEASE LIKE HIM
>>94390563Sure but he's just here to derail the thread so the more you reply to him the more you're just feeding him.
Votann novel in less than 24 hours. care to guess their enemy, the ancient threat?>Read what happens when a Hernkyn Prospect leader and her companions are plunged into a venture beyond their wildest expectations, and find themselves set against an ancient, deadly foe guarding a mysterious but magnificent prize.
>>94390571>Votannwho cares
>>94390565Have you been to Space Battles or any Death Battle comment section? Or any comic form for the past 30 years?
>>94390552Sisters took about a year, but we also don't know what their angle with this preview is. We knew that sisters were going to be a ways out from GW when they did their refresh preview.
>>94389567Always thought they had ammo hidden in compartments within their armor.
>>94390583no I don't read geek culture slop like you do
>>94390581Like it or not, they are a very popular Xenos faction.
Finna read through the 10th edition codexes. What should I eat while doing so: Pei wei or Cane's?
>>94390552Didn't they show some guys already? Might get a partial release.
>>94390594Then why are you here getting mad at people who do? Are you retarded or something
>>94390597I don't think they are.
>>94389567>ammo servitor carrying it all for them just off screenThey'd look too tacticool with 8 mags strapped to them. Also I imagine serfs and servitors running around the battlefield getting blown the fuck up left right and centre.
>>94389754I wish chapter approved existed again.
>>94390605because this thread isn't a dumping ground for carnac to post his marvel-tier fanfiction about abaddon you braindead faggot
>>94390571Necrons
>>94390617Holy autism, Batman. You don't own the thread. All nerdy discussion is welcome. You need to leave.

>>94390632No.It's haram.
>>94390629Carmac, it’s crazy, I stopped coming here years ago. Shame you didn’t. Especially now that I’m back.
>>94390633
>>94390629Shut the fuck up fag.
>>94389567Miniatures and art are not meant to be 100% accurate representations of things in-universe. They are abstractions.A realistic amount of ammo pouches doesn't add anything to a miniature other than increase the complexity of casting it. It may even detract from the visual by obscuring detail or clashing thematically with what the miniature is supposed to be.
>>94390497Same, wish we could just rip Archaeon directly into 40k. I wouldn't change anything about him.
>>94390646>>94390633Stop having fun.>Capcha 40KNO
>>94390646>forge world knightneat, how did it perform?
>>94390653Just use him as a chaos lord. Ez pz
>>94390656They're all from forge worlds dummy, where else would they be made? God..
>>94390656Popped a repex, whiffed against some eradicators, got swarmed to death by jump pack marines, killed about half of them though.
>>94390653Archaon would side with the Emperor over Chaos since they have the same goal.
>>94390650Make me, fuckface.
>>94390526>Archaeon has a helmet with the scribbles. Abbadon had them on his foreheadThen fucking write it that he wears a crown with the gay scribbles he needs???>He doesn't need it because he's opCool, don't care. Give him a helmet anyway because he's ugly>He's not corruptedI couldn't care less. At the very fucking least they cold have given him a nice haircut that hangs down. Like fulgrim or Cruz.
>>94390629Not all nerds are welcome. I want cynical pretentious 4chan contrarians. I don't want manchild marvel Redditors who sqwee over power rankings.
>>94390455Do you want red vehicles or red demons.
>>94390664Chill out hombre
>>94390673>Archaeon has a helmet with the scribbles.Only in Total War. In canon, he doesn't. Marks of Chaos are branded on flesh, not metal.>Cool, don't care. Give him a helmet anyway because he's uglyThe best I can give you is a gasmask.>At the very fucking least they cold have given him a nice haircut that hangs down. The Topknot is part of his history as a ganger prince and Son of Horus. Part of his background and legion. That's like not wanting the World Eaters to rock their bunny ears or any of the other legions special aesthetic traits.
>>94390705>We can't give him a helmet because some retard wrote arbitrary reasons >Now we simply MUST follow this gay retards instructions Also what kind of faggot gang uses top knots. Jesus Christ. Make it a Mohawk or something. He should look more metal. Instead he looks like JoJo siwa.
>>94388160battlewagons, nobs with PKs, deff dreads are all perfectly goff thingsbesides, its not like Goffs dont have buggies or mek guns and stuff like that too
What chapter is the most flanderized? I want to say Black Templars. Even their "fans" and autistic players do it.
>>94390398Chaos warriors in general have a way better aesthetic than chaos marines.
>>94388782nice
>>94390718If your answer isn't "Space Wolves" I don't know what to tell you.
>>94390455If you think you might want to try jump infantry, don't play WE. You don't get any.Instead you'll be charging dudes out of land raiders and that's about it. It's a very one-note army.BA have a lot more flexibility and access to the entire marine vehicle roster for backup, plus a unique tank (baal predator)
>>94390711You do know that Archaon has a topknot too?
>>94390740>Instead you'll be charging dudes out of land raidersWE? They go more than fast enough not to need silly things like land raiders
>>94390748Tank shock with the raider
>>94390718Space wolves.I can't even imagine how fucking retarded their primaris release will be.
>>94390718Least they look alright. Yiffs are the most flanderized faction next to Death Guard in the game.
>>94390336Hmm maybe up-armour them in certain sections, and add inquisition icons? Or some kind of anti-psyker wards on them
>>94390455World eaters have a shit, tiny ass range.Blood angels got a really bad update.You chose wrong basically.
>>94390720Yeah but they're bland to me. They're nothing more than vikings, and they're usually dead after a few years. CSM have lifespans in the thousands, and they own millions of slaves that run their ships. Entire generations go by whole the CSM doesn't even bother remembering their names because they're like mayflys to him. A CSM can also come from so many different unique backgrounds. All the chapter flavors, and whatever composition you personally want in a warband. Chaos warriors are just so fucking 2 dimensional to me. Yeah their armor is kinda cool in aspects. But you can easily make the CSM be the same. And that's not including the possessed.
>>94390764there's nothing flanderized about death guardif you post those slop midhammer sculpts again insisting that's how death guard are supposed to look I will rape you
>>94390731>>94390742Abaddon should look like Nathan explosion
>>94390773You're a stupid faggot so I dont really care what you think. Their sculpts look like cartoony shit.
>>94390757If Blood Angels are any indication, they'll have barely any overwrought wolf iconography and all the SW players who bought into the 7E aesthetic will weep bitterly.
>>94390336Take some cues, and maybe bits from sisters of silence with some inquisition symbols. Maybe slap some gems on like the sisters of silence have.They'd want to have some kind of psychic dampening equipment or they'd just kill themselves.
>>94390778uh oh midhammerfag melty
>>94390773Not him but I like nurgle if you ignore the diseases look and just drawn them in red and black.
>>94389530Vast majority of matter is empty space. The will of the Emperor is stronger than the strong nuclear force and thus a good, loyal servitor knows how to clip items into each other, slipping their atoms in between each other.
>>94390779blood angels aren't the standard, black templars and dark angels are
>>94390742Only his new model.And it works there because of the helmet.
>>94390754Literally objectively worse than grenades at S8 and if you're using it to punch up into a vehicle that CP would be infinitely better spent on +1 to wound
>>94390786I've seen some neat metallic ones too
>>94390794No. His original pre-6th ed model too. The AoS model was a return to his original design.
>>94390779Oh no, not the wolf jet, the wolf tank, the wolf warriors, the wolf riders, the wolf captain, the wolf guard, the wolf fists, the wolf claws, the wolf marines, the wolf bikes, the wolf scars, the wolf angels, the wolf angels, the wolf ravens, the wolf hands, the wolf paws, the wolf anuses, the wolf cocks, the wolf tits, the wolf chaplains, the wolf dread, the wolfmobile, and the wolf wolf! They're the most iconic part of the wolf wolves!
>>94390786Cool Word Bearer
>>94390805how could you forget the wolf knots

>>94390526>Abaddon withstood the concentrated and directed firepower of an entire Cadia regiment without suffering any damage. Even if attacks land on his head/face he is hardy enough to shrug it off. He got shotgunned in face. It was just a scratch. He got shot in the face with a hosshot masterwork laspistol. It was a flesh wound. He got hit in the side of the head with a synaptic disintegrator. It did nothing.Roundabout way of saying Eldrad's pointy stick > an entire Cadian regiment, but ok
>>94390851Horus was a supernova of Chaos capable of collapsing a star system.Why did he wear armor?

>>94390913With what, exactly? You can't exactly put a Necron pylon on Terra or bring it in through the Webway. Not to mention it would extinguish the astronomicon. Might as well turn off the eye of terror or the great rift.
>>94390872He's right you know
>>94390929Literally wait 10 mins after applying, it'll flatten out
>>94390844What the hell is your problem?

that reminds me, I always thought a nurglite warband focused on pollution would be pretty neatmaybe have lots of bikers and vehicles with exhaust fumes everywhere
>>94391049Csm horns are normally either ornaments on their helmets or something their armor naturally forms due to being influenced by the corruption of it's wearer.DG horns visibly break through the armor from within, just like cordiceps does.
>>94391040>>94391044I concede, you have won. If that's the case they should still be mostly mechanized infantry but they ain't that bad. Electros, Kataphron, and the davinci shit stinks.

>>94391071ninjon is the worst of the sloptubers, up there with squidmar and MWMthe absolute best thing about him is he made a pandering conversion of malum caedo to gift to caedo's voice actor and the VA had to pretend to be grateful as if he himself hadn't made and painted a better conversion of caedo already

>>94391090I got a single retard with Atozy (sorry to Atozy fans catching strays)
>>94391130Look at all this onions.
>>94391120he says he plays armies "for fun" but he almost always runs gladius with mostly tanks and dreads.
Should I go nuts 3d printing an army and have every option at my disposal at any moment?Note that I have high quality designs and scans, so the quality of the printed models isn't so much the issue.
>>94391130
>>94391142You shouldn't get more models until you paint the previous ones.
>>94391142If you think you'll spend less money on it and you'll actually paint it, what's stopping you?
>>94391142If you print off an entire army at once it will overwhelm and demotivate you.
>>94391088Ben, you’ve never played a game in your life.
>>94391080>This guy is bad because of some random lore that happened 4 years ago that only an obsessed kiwifarm stalker would knowAs long as he isn't a tranny then I don't give a fuck. I'm watching his tutorials, not assessing his personal taste.
>>94391061>MiniacI don't watch much modelling/painting content but I've found the only channels worth watching are British nerds old enough to remember when space marines were a mix of lead and plastic. Miniac is a retard who makes slop content from the few videos I've seen. I have no idea who the fuck would ever subscribe to him.
>>94391191I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suitthat's not why he's bad, it's just a hilarious testament to how worthless he is as a "teacher" that a random D-list actor from CW shows could out-paint him
>>94391172Jokes on you my name's nowhere near Ben.
>>94391062Nurgle is just an evil version of nature, with bacteria and viruses being central. Pollution is the opposite.

I’ve yet to encounter an IRL tranny who’s as annoying as the people who do nothing but childishly bitch about them in threads like this, and I’ve met more than I wanted to.
I met an irl tranny yesterday and sold her a warhammer underworlds box I had gathering dust. She was polite and paid what I asked for and we parted ways cordially.
anybody know what this guy used for the iron haloI saw people say the khorne juggernaut collar and rowboat's halo but neither match up
>>94391303Unironically I’ve yet to have a bad FB marketplace experience buying or selling minis with people in general. Meanwhile my coworkers constantly bitch about people dickering with them over tools or furniture.
>>94391314Celestine’s halo matches I think.
>>94391303
>>94391321I almost bought a box of legionaries but the guy cancelled 15 min before our meetup. What sucks about eBay is how the sipping negates any savings you'd have and I would end up paying the exact same as just buying off GW

What is the best chaplain model, and can someone please show me a paintjob of 10th termie chap that looks somewhat good.
>>94391340This is NOT how it happenedit was 50 USD
>>94391358depends on how much you'll use itif you just want to print a single 40k force not really worth it because other than the printer you need to buy resin, disposable gloves, isopropyl alcohol, a NIOSH respirator, and something to wash the prints off inand you need a space you don't spend a lot of time in to keep the printer in even when not printing or invest in building a ventilation enclosuret. proontfag

>>94391490Yes.Liquid resin is also toxic.>tfw watching youtubers 3d print in their bedrooms Right up there with sanding resin indoors in terms of sheer retardation.
>>94391456My memories are mostly tied up with my childhood, games with egg carton bunkers, battleforces for christmas, blister packs with pocket money, sending in the post for a subscription to WD, being free to leaf through and read all the brand new 4th edition codexes after school at the extremely friendly independent games store that's now the office to some ambulance chasing lawyer. Mostly I remember building and painting them with my dad. My parents are gone but I still have the mins like the shitily painted metal lictor that I beamed with pride at being told I was improving or the regen venom cannon that was such a force on the table.
>>94391452>>94391464Heavy weapons team, regular plague marines but with huge dakka. Or like, a dedicated transport to replace the rhino.
>>94391545but on the subject of YT I do remember watching videos from the greatest ever 40k youtuber BigDickCheney still during mid-hammer times

>>94391732I look forward to when you cut off your ear soon retard
>>94391723die
>>94391732Oil paints use paint thinner/acetone. Breathing it in habitually causes solvent-induced encephalopathy, that's why you're supposed to wear a respirator when working with them. Fewer people know that solvents are also absorbed through the skin, so using your own thumb as a palette is retarded.You however by all means should continue to do so.
How do you paint lighting on your models anon? 2 Light directions (front back) or 4 (front back left right)?
>>94391606HOW ABOUT THIS>beast of nurgle>but really big>like a land raider sized beast of nurgle>its got a platform on its back like the LotR elephants
>>94391736>>94391749>eating off teflon pans and living in a city are good for you>at least they removed the lead from the gasoline fumes
>>94391750>Light directions (front back) or 4 (front back left right)?What are you even talking about
>>94391749You can continue to live in your own self induced prison you fucking faggot.
>>94391772>not huffing paint thinner is a prison
>>94391760>>94391772You're so mad that other people aren't so retarded as to constantly expose themselves to even more pollutants than normal lmao
>>94391750there's two ways to approach NMM, and in fact this works for very skilled painters when doing TMM, tooyou can choose to paint from the miniature's "face", the direction the mini is intended to be seen from, this is great for photosor you can paint for the table, in this case, choose 4 light sources raised slightly above shoulder/head level of a model, this way when someone looks at the model from any direction it looks good
>>94391781Yea if you think you're going to die if you get oil on your hands then the world must be terrifying for you.
>>94391782most people deal with worse pollutants going on vacation to stare at brown people bathing in garbage and talk about how it was a mystical holy experienceyou'll get more radiation on the flight, too, than getting x-rays done regularly

>>94391798>increasingly disjointed schizo ramblingsdangerously close to melty status
>playing the micro-plastic toy game and being afraid of paintishygdd
>>94391768Just curious. Do you paint so that highlights of a model show the light coming from 1 direction (usually one from the front one from the back) or from two (one from the front, one from the back and then one left one right) >>94391783Not talking about nmm necessarily, just light placement. You can paint a model from 2 lighting directions and still have it look great for the tabletop.
>>94391809nigga, have you ever heard of exposure limits? do you seriously think that you contacting with a couple ml of acetone every other day comes even close to the exposure levels that would put you at risk of getting long lasting side damage?
>>94391749>solvent-induced encephalopathyAnon you are supposed to mix the paint thinner with the pigment. putting the acetone in a paper bag and huffing it before you paint is only to be attempted by the 'Eavy Metal team. I can tall all the posters complaining about this have soft hands. You obviously don't need to wear the respirator when oil painting that's fucking retarded. As long as your work area is well ventilated you are fine (if you are woozy maybe open a window). Acetone is one of the safest non-polar solvents. You mainly have to worry about ingesting it (although it evaporates so quick that's unlikely) and skin contact is mainly bad for contact dermatitis. Think critically about what would happen to women who practically dip their hands in the stuff every night if it was that toxic. Turps and White spirits are more toxic but its hardly hydrozine. Also since this post will get at least 2 asshurt replies are Cote D'Arms paints worth the hype? I want thinking of using them for some of my old 40k and LOTR models.

>>94391914obviously the chemical exposure at your work has destroyed your reading comprehension if you think we're talking about acrylics
i wear a full N99 respirator when airbrushing anything. ATGATT
>>94391828Depends. Usually I paint as though lighting is coming from the top, but still highlight the lower surfaces so I guess all 4.
>>94391916oh yeah I forgot his thread is for low effort shitposts, shilling new model releases and complaining about 10th edition
let he who has not drank his agrax earthshade cast the first stone
>>94391949Your low effort shitposting you've been doing fits right at home then
>>94391950*casts the first stone* (I drink nuln oil)
>>94391943Looks sick, love the dried blood. I only tried doing a 2-light effect for this guy and I think it works really well. If I made 4, I think it may end up looking way too busy, between all the highlights and the lightning effects as well. You can see the left two pics are the light "direction" while the right pics are where the second highlights would be.
>>94391926I've had this EXACT conversation here about acrylics. There is no limit to the neuroticism.
>>94391914Yeah, I've noticed that for whatever reason mini painters are extremely pussy whipped, which is yet another reason why GWsissies get BTFO by GunplaBVLLS
>>94391970obviously the chemical exposure at your work has destroyed your reasoning if you think bringing up unrelated conversations you've had in the past is a rebuttal
>>94391976It's not a rebuttal. I'm just laughing at you.
>>94391961I feel like you overthink things a little bit too much mandrakeanon/2monthghoulanon. Seems like you get really stuck on something negligible pretty often
>>94391949Seeing as you've been shitposting since you got here you're in good company
How do people get their paint to look so smooth? Or is it just GW shopping their photos?
>>94391989What? But Im not overthinking anything right now, Im just making a bit of conversation and posting some model cause Im bored and the thread is on the slower side (I guess it is on page 8). I was just curious how other people come up with lighting decisions when it comes to their models.

I finished those 3 mandrakes the other day, I could have started the next ones today but I had some stuff to take care of. Since I cant usually paint fridays/saturdays I'll started them on sunday. I noticed If I rush a bit I can finish 3 in 2/3 days so maybe if I manage my time next week I can finish them all, but no promises Im fully aware of what a lazy ass I am sometime.

Is it really that dead of a hobby.
>>94392211I'll give you 40 bucks.
>>94392182
this is my favorite 40k picturebut I feel like if I painted my models like this, it would look like dogshit
>>94392211Craigslist is for things that your average normie would buy on a whim/an emergency. Niche things need to be sold on eBay or on marketplace groups
>>94392211Dead game, everyone plays AoS now
>>94392229Good taste, words cannot express how much I love checker patterns. It's practically impossible to implement on miniatures tho.
>>94392229Looks like warmachine slop if you ignore the checkmarks
land raiders or deepstrike for termies?
>>94392245idk, it just really reminds me of back when I got into this hobby, bases were goblin green, and everyone's layer paints were bright and unblended, because the paints really sucked and the metal models were rough
>>94392217The Original techno Space Dwarfs, the Squats the real one, not the shit they're peddling now
>>94392248Deepstriking Land Radiers
If dwarves looked like this i'd be all over them.
>>943922482000pts of dreadnoughts
>>94392248deep strike because I like big fat squads of them.
>>94392257
>>94392269
>>94392279I can work with that as well, but having a squad of them would add flavour to a Guard army.

>>94392081Never heard of acetone being used in this hobby. What's it used for?>t. hobbylet
>>94392297killing grognards
>>94392297Stripping paint
>>94392297Cleaning out an airbrush if you used oil paints/washes through it.
>>94392297Stripping metal models and nothing else despite what /tg/ will lead you to believe
>>94392306>>94392310Thanks! I'll look into more info about acetone usage as well. I like getting my money's worth out of hobby stuff and somewhat hobby related stuff as well.
>>94392312>metal modelsSure, if you want to make mercury
>>94392297tamiya extra thin cement (and their airbrush cleaner) is p. much 50% acetone
>>94392269There are print designers who've done ranges in that style, go print them
>>94392330>asking for effort
>>94392330where?
>>94392333Why are you constantly seething?
>>94392336On myminifactory, or there was a less detailed (but probably closer to the original 90s quality) set on thingiverse, complete with egg shaped terminators and trikes
>>94392339Why are you assuming you're talking to the same people you have in the past
>>94392348pattern recognition.

Just started this WIP Swarmlord.Very shoddy greenstuff neck, but I'm shit at sculpting and that's the best I've got.
>>94392367
>>94392367Looks good.
>>94392367You did good. Shouldn't be visible after you have primed it. What tools did you use for the greenstuffing if you don't mind?
>>94392380Got a weird set of sculpting tools from a fine arts store.They were at a steep discount and seemed better quality than hobby branded tools.It's just mostly the same stuff as other scupltong kits. I don't really know what I'm doing, my greenstuff usage has been mostly patchwork and making seals and scrolls, this is the first time properly sculpting something (the neck and the brain to fuse the zoanthrope plate to the tyrant head)
>>94392367Looks fine. Remember to coat the edges and flat surfaces of your cork with ova or texture paste to avoid it just looking like cork
New>>94392399>>94392399>>94392399
>>94392367Dontcha think that cork's a bit tall?
>>94392413That's the whole point Good old hive tyrant is kinda short, and I already have one, so I wanted the Swarmlord to stick out.I'm thinking of gluing some marine heads and melting them a bit to decorate the base
>>94392306>>94392312what's that goo stuff people talk about using on models and is it better than using methylated spirits/isopropyl? I've perpetually got a pile of ebay lot minis caked all manner of not mini approved mystery paints. Any parents posting ITT never ever give your child plastic glue or enamel paints. Everyone including probably them if they ever get older and want to repaint them will thank you for making them use only super glue and acrylic instead of an army that looks like they are being metlabombed under their 10 thick coats of Hammerite and deck sealing paint. I do have white spirit and the shaitanic acetone but I've gotten mixed signals whether they will just soften plastic minis or rapidly melt them like MEK. >>94392314You can also use white spirit which is stronger in my experience and less likely to fill your house with explosive fumes but it's more toxic and unlike acetone it doesn't really evaporate so instead of just letting a piece air dry you have rinse, wash and dry it.
>>94392432Just worried the base might be a bit small and if its too top-heavy it can get knocked around/tipped over easily.
>>94392447Seems stable enough for now. I can always get some steel rings or some shit like that and glue it under the base to make it bottom heavy, I have already done that with some resin zoanthropes that just loved smashing their faces on the table.
>>94390610Store them in pauldrons
>>94393200that's where the pee is stored tho
>>94389758Anon, magazines and boxes aren't one-time use. Specially for weapons that use a belt system it's just a box for keeping the ammo from flopping around.
