>>94417661admech or sisters
I swear to god if they add darkmech to this game and it's just spiky admech I'll be pissed. At the very least look like DAOT stuff with meaty daemon bits and grossly organic machinery.
how do you beat eldar
>>94417697Don't worry, they won't be adding DarkMech.
>>94417697this is what darkmek looks like, it's not going to be a separate army from the undivided chaos codex, just a subfaction within it that focuses on these units and the future accompanying infantry
>>94417697Never going to happen
>>94417706>t.cretin who insisted we'd never get plastic sisters, plastic abaddon, GSC, primaris marines, emperor's children etc etc
>>94417714Your memes are lame ben, you’re schizo brain prevents you from being able to be funny.
>>94417705with my peenus weenus of course
>>94417661>Which faction has the best aesthetic?For me its Dark Eldar Kabals or Dread Mob Orks
>>94417697and even in 30k it's not spiky admech, it's spindly admech
>>94417715None of those are already been sold as a 30k faction. GW doesn't want to mix product ranges
How powerful is a crisis individually or as a team next to the average IFV? I know they are basically Tau terminators.
>>94417661Jeez you got a big pussyJeez you got a big pussyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBeG_A6m_zs
>>94417661TQ: hands down dark eldar then khorne
i should just play what i like? and not care about other people’s judgement?
>>94417767yes unless you play something I dont like
Battle of the superheavies today. The baneblade won
>>94417725gw already sells the same custodes and knights for both, and if HH admech and 40k admech, or HH guard and 40k guard, can exist with different ranges then so can HH darkmech and 40k darkmech.
>>94417719
>>94417721>>94417661Seconding Dark Eldar. Kabals and Covens in particular. Wych Cults I could take it or leave it.
>>94417705Refuse to play against them. Eventually the Eldar player will take the hint and either change to another faction or leave in anger and shame.
Do any current-day Eldar get promoted to Daemon Princehood as reward for their service or do you get nobbed by Slaanesh even if you help out chaos
>>94417842Eldar daemon princes don't exist.
>>94417842no such instance is presented >>94417872such instances were presented
>>94417795What's that flying forge world looking thing?
>>94417872>eldar daemon princes don't existSomeone doesn't know about the avatar of khaine
>>94417842No one knows because GW will never elaborate on factions that do not have models or rules anymore out of butthurt from third party proxies filling a niche they themselves refuse to fill, out of spite.
>>94417878Is the Yncarne a daemon as well? How is it summoned? Is there some ritual like the sacrifice of the young king?
>>94417880>Eldar>No models or rulesUnless you specifically mean Chaos Eldar in which case yeah sure. Chaos is for Imperials.
>>94417661>>94417661vanilla CSM. except for the daemonkin, and the daemon engines to a lesser extent. all of the possessed marines and obliterators were made by somebody with a diaper/bra fetish.Legionaries are probably one of the coolest kits out right now. It's close to the old tactical kit in terms of customizations and weapon options. The raggedy and mismatched look gives them all more character. like each one is out for themselves mostly and uses their preferred weapons instead of following doctrine and decorates their armor with personal trophies. The master of possession is really cool to. It mogs the chaos sorcerer to hell.not a huge fan of how big the top knots are tho
what army is the most reddit
>>94417904yours
>>94417712You can remove the defiler and the soul grinder
>>94417904all of them, 40k is reddit coded
>>94417904tau, eldar or thegood guy legions like salamanders and lamenters
Starting my Alpha Legion army soon, probably gonna start painting my very first model of the army tonight.Stuck on what to do for cloth on them, cloaks and loincloths and such.I've considered grey/cream, bright green (Karandras Green) or purple/pinkish. (Screamer pink or Lexion Purple)Anyone have an opinion? Specific armor color I'm using is Akhelian green if that matters.
I can change her.
>>94417904Skaven
>>94417904You have over a dozen reddit accounts, you tell me.
>>94417919>reddit legion
>>94417904space marines
>>94417919I'd probably go the cream but try out a few and test them
>>94417923Cool Inquisitor
>>94417677They have the advantage of their whole ranges being entirely in modern plastic. But if them are a bit uneven in design aesthetics though with certain... Sub-themes, we'll say, that stand out.
>>94417904mine
>>94417700>repulsor and a land raiderI mean, I guess that's neat.Has anyone actually tried mixing the repulsor with the land raider? Like taking the repulsor turret and putting it onto the land raider hull.Could look pretty cool.

>>94418073New alpha legion hepic hero
>>94418067it's fine for bad models to exist to have flavourindirect fire and fliers are nightmares to balance so it's fine if they exist (for people who like those things) but are bad (so people who play the game aren't screwed over)
>>94418067>What is GW's end game?making minis
>>94418085I just feel like they won't be able to help themselves and give this new arty piece a rule that will try to mitigate the indirect nerfs
>>94417876>>94417878There has never been an actual Eldar Daemon Prince shown in 40k. Some off-hand mention that they might exist in a tertiary-tier book doesn't matter. One hasn't show up in Codices, as a model, or even in Black Library itself.Only Humans can be Daemon Princes, because Chaos is inherently Human-centric.
>>94418123wrong
>>94418130Go ahead, tell me where one appeared.
>>94418073That's the most necron-looking weapon I've seen in a while.Definitely a votann thing.
>>94418143Votann don't use wicked weapons like this. Probably AOS
>>94418073>>94418082It has to be Solomon, the zoomer AL lord
>GDAY GUYS AND GAL
>>94418123I mean once one is a daemon prince it matters little what they were as mortals. I like to think some of them come from other xenos races, like an Ork stormboy that goes too far on Khorne worship and becomes a daemon prince as a joke
>>94418143>That's the most necron-looking weapon I've seen in a whileThere's at least two primarchs with suspicious connections to necron tech, and one of them was famous for his spear
>>94418135liber chaotica
>>94418123Belakor is an Elf
>>94418154God I hope its just alpharius.Not just another bl mini you can't use.
>>94418176no, he isn't but dechala is
>>94418174Not a direct source. Even then none are named or directly mentioned in it.>>94418176Be'lakor is a human from Fantasy.
>>94418154>Alpha Legion>not baldYikes
>>94418183Belakor was an ogre, which is why he's so hungry for power.
How many Rhinos is the right number of Rhinos?
>>94418183Incorrect, his race prior to his ascension is never stated. In fact, it isn't clear that he even originated from the Old World.
>>94418073New Shard Spear. New Dark Eldar Wyches. Refresh guy was right.
>>94418187I still get whiplash when I remember that this mugging retard was supposed to be Alpha Legion
>>94418187The whole point of that book is that in 40k Alpha Legion aren't just a bunch of identical fuckers saying "I am Alpharius" any more.
>>94418205Mah, the staff connector is wrong for Eldar. It's an Imperial weapon.
>>94418073I'm going to bet it's an alpha legion themed kill team
>>94418183>Not a direct sourcecanon nonetheless feel free to cope, seethe and dilate at that fact
>>94418206Not even the basedest AL retard that series gave us. SINDRIII
>>94417728They are, but individual crisis suits are marginally more powerful than individual terminators. Just comparing tabletop stats (150 points of Terminators compared to 150 points of Sunforge Suits)-- Individually they have equal toughness, slightly less armor (but more wounds individually; up to 50% more with a shield drone) and an equivalent invulnerable save (which used to be an option on all suits, RIP build diversity). They are, however, twice as fast as terminators, carrying two ranged weapons each with an option for a third from a drone.As a group however, the squad and the battlesuits are fairly equivalent. The battlesuits are substantially more mobile, but they're only marginally better than their infantry in a fist-fight. Their larger size and status as true vehicles (and fliers to boot) also makes the battlesuit more vulnerable to larger support weapons. Six guns (with three bonus guns and three token melee profiles) compared to 5 guns and 5 melee weapons.Narratively it's a crapshoot and depends on the writer, but losses from equivalent crisis suits are more likely to be the result of terminator marines having names than any other factor.
>>94417725Good thing dark mech isn't a 30k """range""" It's an epic range so you can't use models across both regardless :)
Hydra Dominatus
>>94418212disgusting
>>944181992-3
>>94417712Honestly, if they just gave Negavolt Cultists a full kit (or some other Heretek kit), and remade the Defiler/Soul Grinder as a dual-build kit, I'd be content.
>>94418143>Votann>Ever getting anythingYou got your placeholder NPC units, better start waiting for a range refresh in 20 years
>>94418154>Alpha legion>Looks nothing like alpharius God this is do retarded... Their fetish is too obvious...
>>94418278Aren't they moving the grinders and deffies to legends?
>>94418303There is nothing to suggest that at the moment.
>>94418073Please be Alpharius and not the zoomzoom...
>>94418307Someone posted a Xtter print last thread talking about it
>>94418298The whole point of that book is that in 40k Alpha Legion aren't just a bunch of identical fuckers saying "I am Alpharius" any more.
>>94418318That was in regards to the Soul Grinder being removed from Slaves to Darkness in AoS. That's got nothing to do with the Defiler at all.
>>94418319Yes.But it still is very obvious what they are doing. Even if alpha legion marines modified themselves to look like alpharius even more, they also were very much like him from the get go.Besides the thing in the cover art is ugly as sin, if you are going to do race swaps at least make them cool or handsome, looks like a bulldog in human form
>>94418073No fucking way they put out Alpharius/Omegon before Fulgrim, Perturabo or Leman Russ.
>>94418278>vashtorr acolytes/techno gheists kill team dual kit>chaos knight squires/negavolt pilgrims kill team dual kit>defiler/soulgrinder dual kit >heretek priest HQ and retinue>chaos androids/cyberdemons dual kit (ogryn sized)>rhino/predator dual kit>land raider/chaos altar dual kit>vindicator/darkmech artillery dual kit everything such a subfaction could possibly want
>>94418319That was what made them cool. Just like the DAngels being autistic about the Fallen, you can't just take that away from them and still have an interesting army. They're just generic without those quirks.
>>94418348Fulgrim is guaranteed to come out next year with the EC army. No way they skip making an expensive center piece
>>94418348Could be a 30K model as well.
>>94418348perturabo is one of the least popular primarchs you seething faggot
>>94418073Not the Pale Spear, but close
>>94418356Alpharius already has a 30k model and I doubt they'll put the primarchs in plastic considering both demon Fulgrim and Horus Ascended are resin.>>94418361>seethingHuh?
>>94418231>In the year 40k the Mechanicum finally perfects miniaturization techniques upon old designs from the Heresy

>>94418392>Alpha Team>The joke is that they all call themselves Alpha Team
>>94417705Cum on their feet!
>inb4 it's an actual Necron using the spear this time
>>94418413Ah yes if you cum fast enough on eldar feet with should trap them in place for you to capture them good idea
>>94418073New spear, elf design, pointing down, emperor’s children are next big chaos army, painted in NMM. This might be Fulgrim or a new large Slaanesh character.
>>94418426>elf designNecron
>>94418442Show me a specific Necron weapon that looks close to that inage
>>94418351i dunno dude maybe read the book
>>94418442Nah, it's not a necron design, I've painted too many praetorians so I know. It's not nearly angular enough to be necron
>>94418452The one Alpharius and his zoom zoom stand-in use?
>>94417661Eldars of all stripes are a masterpiece and the golden standard of elf design
>>94418452>>94418462>>94418471>The Pale Spear was rumoured to be a strange xenos artefact whose original forging predated even the rise of the Aeldari.>This double-bladed spear flickered seemingly out of phase with the material universe when wielded, emitting an eerie and otherworldly howling, and was able to pierce any physical defence it encountered without impediment, ripping it apart at a molecular level.It's a Necron phase blade.
>>94418485Then why doesn't it look anything at all like any other phase weapon?
>>94418498It was designed before the current design for phase weapons.
>>94418498but it does
Anyone mind if I sperg about my homebrew Necron dynasty that is very halfassed and I only spent 2 hours working on so far?
>>94418516>>94418523I don't recall necron phase blades turning the things they hit into oil.

>>94418575Wrong army, cunt
Has anyone ever rewritten a 40k rulebook so that it's straight to the point and concise? I imagine you can fit the rules into a small pamphlet, but currently as it starts I don't want to play and it's hard to get others i know to play because the rules are so poorly written and full of excessive bloat. They write an entire paragraph for something that can be said it a few words. Now I understand why they HAVE to do this, because 40k is 90% rules lawyering autists who need every possible outcome addressed in the rules or else they will be cheated and exploited. However, it's incredibly annoying, and down right unpleasant for us normal people
>>94418606play one page rules then
>>94418592grot tanks arent even in the rules anymore lmao
>>94418536 They're a small, tiny even, Dynasty built off of an exiled Overlord (now Phaerakh) who chose a barren planet on the edge of a random uninhabited system (currently in Scarus Sector) to set their ships down on and to turn into their new Crownworld. They awoke to find humans had settled on a planet towards the center of their system not long after the great crusade. They didn't see them as pests but more like how the Necrontyr once worshiped the C'tan, and like how the Necrons eventually slayed their false god, they hoped that the children they saw below would one day do the same. That never happened and after the heresy broke out the humans stayed loyal, believing the humans to be lost and guaranteed to follow their same mistakes, the Phaerakh went back into stasis. Flash forward to the 13th black crusade, the crusade missed the system, but almost all defending garrisons of guardsmen were routed away to Cadia and the civilians were undefended when a Plaguehulk floated into the system. The Phaerakh awoke her fleet and managed to intercept it in time, the PDF never even knew it was there until they noticed it destroyed floating into a gas giant only to never be seen again. When the Green Kroosade arrived, She awoke her armies, her fleets, and marched them all to the defense of her system, because while the humans foolishly still follow their false god, they may still one day awaken to the truth and fight back. The Kroosade's fleet was pushed back after much fighting and many necron warrior and PDF losses. The Phaerakh basically announced that it was a defense of their chosen friends before packing up her armies (with a few las-rifle blasts and a few bolter shells shot at them on the way out) and returned to her Crownworld content that they will come around. Since then there have been no mechanicus invasions or space marine assaults, but multiple small Ork vessels that wandered into the system have been spotted destroyed and drifting.(1)

>>94418606Google search "40k rules reference sheet"For almost every game ever there's someone who's condensed the rules into an easy-to-read format for quick reference, usually on a single page or two.The mainline rules are there for nitty-gritty interactions, and you need exact instructions to figure out how it'll work, which 40k has a lot of.
Other than who they worship how similar, culturally, are Questor Imperialis and Questor Mechanicus houses? Like are Mechanicus houses still feudal and knight flavored or are they are bit more like the Mechanicus? Like is it really just a question of the name they use for god and who they pay their loyalty to, or are there more substantial differences?
>>94418589Basically this single lot I got off of eBay so I could have tons of bits to play around with for conversions.The main stuff is:>50+ Boyz that I need to sell (I already have 120 and cannot see myself needing any more)>Lootas and burnas>2 trukks>A dakkajet>A recast deff dread>A single killa kan>Lots of nob bits>A metal warboss>A single gaunt >Tons of other shit I don't want to bother typing out because it's mostly just inconsequential bits With my additions of:>Warbikers>75% of a Snazzwagon (I've used some pieces for a kitbash already)>Da red gobbo's surprise from last year's Christmas>2 boxes of grots>Thunderkyn

>>94418653While they reside within imperium nihlus, they are seemingly safe from most of the chaos threats that plague the system. The only threat they routinely face is the occasional Green Krusade exploratory ship entering the system. The humans reside on a rural world which has been assumed lost in the 13th crusade. They've been spared the brunt of the Daemonic Invasions thanks to the Crownworld in their system having a makeshift Pylon set up.Their ships are noted to have built in Veils of Darkness, cloaking them from all but the strongest scans and making them invisible to the naked eye. They crackle with odd light-red energy, nobody except the Phaerakh herself knows why it is like that, and she isn't telling anyone. While they protect the humans of the system they "own", they seek nothing more than recognition. Being exiles from a greater dynasty they are no better than outlaws, free to be captured, enslaved, or absorbed by any stronger dynasty that shows interest in them. If they gained recognition as a proper Dynasty, they would have 1 more thing between them and their inevitable re-enslavement.
how do i kill an ork stompa as space marines
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94418659you will paint one of the assembled models this week, anon>>94418683I command you to paint the trukk in that picture>>94418686you will paint the bladeguard veterans by the end of this week
I haven't read the new novel. Is there any more/new lore for the Leagues?
>>94418334Fucking morons never should have added it to fantasy in the first place
>>94418734Haven't read it myself but from another anon's review it's there but it's scarce.
>>94418679Questor mechanicus houses lose a lot of the medieval flair in favour of conforming more to mechanicus traditions and mannerisms. Their pilots are often less hot headed and more open to taking orders (as long as it's mechanicus hierarchy) They still have their honour systems and a bit of that palace/political intrigue, but it's more in line with how the adepts have that shit
>>94418722eliminators
Speaking of the mechanicus; does the Mechanicus rule any planers besides their forge worlds and, I suppose, research stations? Like are there civilised worlds or agri worlds ruled directly by the cogboys?
>>94418722charge a chaplain and 10 jump intercessors at it and then when they die kill it with a Mercy Is Weak Vindicator
>>94418726Does the conversion I chopped it up and used it for being painted count?
>>94418744I think the mechanicus only has rule over forgeworlds, mining worlds and mining/research outposts. Although wherever there's a concentration of industry or machinery they have influence, at least one Magos and a ton of adepts and engineseers will be around even if, for example, the industry of a planet is producing local templates on its own.
>>94418734Mostly that they go whailing after the odd Nid hiveship to harvest biomass, specially if the Nid has target a planet they had their eyes on.
I've tried all sorts of different recommended cleaning product strippers for paint and they all take a long time, scrubbing effort and are difficult to fully stripyesterday I did IPA 99% for the first time and the paint, including the primer fell off without any hassle after just a 20 minute bath, don't know why this isnt just the top recommended
>>94418750I imagine some might fall under the authority of a nearby forge world whether for strategic purposes or anything like that but it's probably more of a sphere of influence thing.

>>94418802yuckresinI only buy official plastic GW models
>>94418827I agree. Here's another just in case I haven't spammed it enough. Probably my favorite conversion I've done yet.I just bought a 1:32 scale model of a Volkswagen buggy that I'll be using to convert into my third Snazzwagon. I've still got the other 75% of the kit I used for that trukk to work with.
>>94418853The Warhammer twitter recently asked people to post conversions/kitbashes and I posted a photo of your Dementus boss and they said it was incredible. I responded with 'thanks it was a lot of work.'
>>94418573The lance is literally lasering that guy
>>94418870Got a link to the post?

>>94418894Welp, if you were sending me on a wild goose chase then well done. Consider that goose chased.Scrolled up and down the replies to the Warhammer post and couldn't find my boss.
>>94418927Yeah sorry I was lying, I'm a dick but not enough of a dick to stolen valor someone's amazing model>Verification not required.
>>94418937Kek, shoulda known
I'd actually like if people spread pictures of my models for more praise, as long as they aren't taking credit for themselves
>>9441771440k Admech is perhaps the most cucked faction in existence>shit models>shit rules>lore obliterated so you could be the "rival" to the necrons
>>94418606How about you try it and get back to us when you realize that "bloat" is just necessary
>>94419004Being the rival to the Necrons is a pretty big honor. I doubt the Necrons think of them that way though.
>>94418722a stompa is fucking 800 points. I'm pretty sure it's nearly impossible for any army to NOT kill it even if you just throw darts at a board to get 800 points of random bullshit.It's 300 points more expensive than a Castellan for six wounds and a single point of toughness. And the Castellan is kind of a piece of shit.
>>94419001Eh, I don't really care if they post my shit elsewhere, even if they are claiming credit for it. I'm posting shit on the Internet, it's almost expected.If I saw a picture of one of my models on a forum or twitter post elsewhere receiving praise, I know that it's my model getting the praise. Regardless of who posted it.
>>94419004While there are some pretty shitty models there's a lot of nice detailed ones. Also they like to pursue some broken design for their rules for some reason.
>>94419016>>94419001In theory I would like it, but I also have my own socials I post my stuff on and that actually brings me in paid commission work so I'd be a little miffed if they didn't attribute it to me because of potential lost revenue.
>>94419004Half the AdMech range is great and they've enjoyed busted OP rules for years before 10th, nogames
>>94419040Not that anon but 9th doesn't count because ad mech ended up bullying older codices until they got powercrept to hell and back.
>>94419023I think they genuinely like the combo machine buff staxx style for AdMech, but that's antithetical to their design philosophy for 10e so they wind up with this weird over dependency of positioning to even access basic army rules. Not to mention a huge flavor fail from making the battleline units distribute the buff but not the Tech priests, because someone told them battleline needed to matter more.
Has anyone here ran green tide recently? Apparently cull the horde is brutal against green tide. Also is it still worth running 6x20 boyz?
>>94419001Remember the poster that kept claiming those nicely painted blood ravens were his and once he got called out on it he never posted again? Fuckin hilarious
>>94419053I think you summed it up really well; I would have thought that techpriests would be the ones to unlock optimizations for the units they're attached to, it makes sense for the faction fluff-wise. Also that weird skitarii/cult mechanicus split that they finally did away with.
>>944190519th really was the worst edition for codex creep I have ever seen. It's always been bad with edition differences and old Codexes and such but damn near every new codex release after the first three or four broke the game in some way.
>>94419070It's crazy. I remember towards the end of 9th they FAQ's the ad mech codex so that you could use it as-is and it was still one of the worst armies in the game.
>>94419011Hence why I put "rival", nobody actually thinks of Admech as the necrons rival, it's like calling the Inquisition the rival of Chaos. They're the mooks that get slaughtered so the Space Marines clean it up>>94419040They were broken for a few months in 9th and then immediately nerfed to shit and overshadowed by the next OPdex, that's how 9th was for everyone anon. Also Admech haven't gotten a single good looking model since the initial all those years ago, and even then they had retarded blue naked priests
>>94419067>Also that weird skitarii/cult mechanicus split that they finally did away withDid they though? Over half the detachments still check which keywords half your army has to gate them out of getting any rules. And then there's the Cybernetica Cohort...
>>94419081A keyword split is nowhere near as bad as a codex split, especially when the Skitarii book didn't even have an HQ so they had to make a special rule that let them take a tech priest lmao
Is it possible to make a paint brush out of your own hair, or does all of the oils and shit in it ruin it?
>>94419081You've got a good point there, I guess they are still arbitrarily split down the middle which isn't really of any benefit to anyone at all. At least the army rule applies to them still I think.
>>94419075We were so close to greatness...
>>94419071It didn't matter because they had changed the core rules at that point. AdMech was written at a point where you had all your CP up front for traits and artifacts and alpha strikes. After they changed the core rules to make you only start with a small pool and gain it gradually over the game it didn't matter if AdMech was unnerfed. They were written with the expectation of having a ton of gas that didn't exist anymore.
>someone put up an ad on marketplace selling a bunch of kill team shit>they were selling a ghaz and makari for 20 USD>tfw missed out on getting it by one minuteProbably won't use him often but I'm playing goffs so he's essential
>>94419089>At least the army rule applies to them still I think.>>94419085Let's not forget that in the published Codex of 10e half the army doesn't have an army rule because only Skitarii got Doctrinal Imperatives and Canticles of the Omnissiah, the Cult Mechanicus army rule, just got deleted from the game with no replacement. They only changed that to apply to the whole army (besides Castellans) four months ago in a data slate.
>>94419058What's cull the horde? You get 6 characters that scale with boyz mob size in 3 warbosses giving them +1 to hit and 3 painboyz giving them 5+ fnp, how could this not be a 50% win rate list especially using the reroll wounds stratagem every turn? Half the mobs are in battle wagons and the other half have fnp, the horde cannot he culled.https://www.newrecruit.eu/app/list/79LRY
>>94419093It's been a while but I remember that really messing things up for me. I also play thousand sons so the difference between the two really was night and day.>>94419109It didn't since their inception and now I think it does but I haven't really played much of 10th because the rules for ad mech disappointed me so much.
>>94419093Also the aircraft rules had changed in the later tournament companions too. Part of what originally made AdMech busted was their insane planes.
>>94419117>3 battlewagonsWtf, that's a little overkill isn't it
>>94419040People forget just how OP AdMech was because it came out after Drukhari which was even more OP, but it was also the only Codex that could go toe-to-toe with them for like that whole summer.
>>94419058Never had someone use cull the horde against me since tactical missions reign supreme at my LGS but green tide is fun as shit.
>>94418143fuck off destinyfag
>>94419142>[9e Codex] was so OP it was the only thing that could fight [Previous 9e Codex] until it was overshadowed by [Next 9e Codex]No way
>>94417661When are we gonna see the new catachans? The one off models they have made recently are so nice. I know it will only be a KT box for a while, but I gotta have them.
>>94419065https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/1gnfohz/how_do_you_feel_about_people_winning_best_painted/Like the discussion here, of people winning best painted army with commission work
Behold! My lastest invention! It's a Chaos Rhino that has a wood chipper strapped to the front and the discharge spout faces forward. So you start gobbling up Imperial Guardsmen and then their allies in a 3" cone in front of the vehicle are sprayed in their blood and must make an instant morale check. It's BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!
>>94419135You were just saying that the boyz are vulnerable to anti infantry shit! 160 points for land raider tankiness and a little always welcome technically antitank firepower seems like a bargain. If the zapp gun hits something big once and the boyz get to charge fully intact then that's your points back right there.
>>94419170That will never be me, I can't even afford to get an army commission painted
>>94419174>Armatus Necrotechnica>These secret devices of necro-technic engineering were among the few technologies once bound within the sealed vaults of Ferrus Manus. Outside of the Iron Hands Legion, the knowledge oftheir very existence was limited to prohibited circles ofthe Emperor's own household and used as part of the construction of the warlord-sinister Psi-Titans. This technology is capable of harnessing the stolen energy of sentient life to power engines of mechanical destruction and repair. How they were later spread is unknown, but must surely have involved the defection or capture of high-ranking Terran artificers from the Imperial Palace or the secretive tech-dades of Luna, for it is thought improbable that even those Iron Fathers who raided the Vaults of Mimir would dare to unleash such dark techno-heresy upon the galaxy. Whatever their origin, these foul technologies were witnessed on several battlefields as the Horus Heresy drew towards its climax, both on Traitor armour and among the ranks of Ferrus Manus' grief-maddened sons.
>>94419219>Psti-Titans. This technology is capable of harnessing the stolen energy of sentient life to power engines of mechanical destruction and repair.WHAT. So basically a vampire's death aura.
>>94419170This is the same as winning a costume contest or best dressed. Who cares, unless the army you had actually painted was better than the winner.
>>94419174Is that a METAL BAWKS? You coward, you FOOL!
>Be space marine aspirant>selected through a grueling series of trials that only the most exceptional survive>Survive the geneseed implantation, where even more of the remaining aspirants die a terrible death>Get placed in the scout company>spend years and years training in real combat situations where you risk your life and limb, learning from direct experience as much as from training sessions>by the time you become a full tactical marine you already are a veteran with several human lives' worth of real combat experience>enter Primaris Marines>selection of aspirants is pretty much the same>As soon as you pass your trials you are safely and quickly implanted the geneseed>all your training is immediately pumped in your brain by a machine>where before ut would take years to form a single marine, now it takes a fraction of the time>no real experience, no time spent on the field, no actual danger, you just get a power armor slapped on you and on you goAnd then they would make us believe Primaris Marines would not get Imperial Guard levels of casualties every time they take the field
>>94419294primaris are retarded and break all the established themes and tone of the setting, this is known
>>94419294>As soon as you pass your trials you are safely and quickly implanted the geneseedThe space wolf way
>>94419236you typically make your own costume in a costume contest thoughstore bought costumes never winand best dressed isn't compared either, everyone knows youre buying clothes from somewhere else
>>94419294Primaris still have scouts, anon.
darkmech add literally nothing you can't already just do in chaos marines and everything you kitbash for it would 100% look better than anything GW shits out
>>94419294the only primaris who skipped the queue are Cawl's personal time-frozen boys, and they did take massive casualtiesThe actual marines still have Scouts
>>94419040every time admech has been good its been because they've had 2 units that are overtuned and hard carry and rest of army is dogshit, the internal balance is some of worst of the edition every time. cant even remember the last time electro priests were actually playable yeah it does well in a tourney setting by the 3 whales that spend 500 dollars on the current best unit but for the average player its always been an inconsistent mess
>>94419294Most Primaris had to go through the aspirant/scout phase still. AFAIK they're implanted with the Primaris organs at the same time they're given the black carapace.
>>94419373Fulgurites are currently (heh) playable in Data Psalm. You're welcome.
>>94419396Does that mean scouts are all still Firstborn/Manlets?
>>94419413No, they're scouts. Incomplete Astartes, neither firstborn or primaris.
>>94419396>AFAIK they're implanted with the Primaris organs at the same time they're given the black carapace.Sinew Coils and Magnificat are implanted between phase 3 and 4. Maybe the Belisarian Furnace is implanted before the Black Carapace? Would make sense, since the subject has to be fully grown before the carapace is implanted (as it hardens under the skin). How space marines are turned into primaris marines with the Carapace already in them? They don't bother to explain, because GW only cares about upgrading their old toys.
>>94419166Summer after krieg.
>>94419465they have to rip the carapace out and that was the reason for the super high death rate on the early rubricon procedure before they worked the kinks out
Fucking primaris bullshit again, you marine piggies can't help yourselves can ya
>>94419483>super high death rate Yet all the characters got through just fine and even marines too injured to become dreadnoughts could become primaris. I also don't know how it's so deadly to remove it, but not to install it. It's not like marines aren't pumped full of organs to make them survive getting shot in the heart and losing a few limbs.
Should Exodites have a plant theme to their armor like wood elves back in WFB?
>>94419503The characters surviving is just lore-contrivances, you're not going to kill off Dante through the medical procedure>Why is it so deadly to remove it but not install itThe material is kind of goopy when it's put into the neophite and then hardens. It's like using a dropper to put a bit of superglue into a crevice and then later trying to remove only that glue without destroying everything around it.
>>94419522Why bother asking? They're not a real faction. They'll never be more than normal Eldar but with unmodeled dinosaurs instead of vehicles.
>>94419533They exist just so marines can torture some pointy eared kids with promethium.
[>reanimator>20=40warrior>Overlord>Orikan]>Void dragon for vehicles>Rest Heavy destroyersIs this a good strategy?
>>94419345They would add damned units that can actually kill things
My mom said i cant play admech because its unchristlike to say omnissiah

>>94419552Heh.
>>94419502>I'm proud to play an npc factionDidn't ask.
What are you painting today anon?Called my AM field gun finished even though it could use some more work because I want to start my new Kasrkin KT box.
>>94419294>>enter Primaris Marines>>selection of aspirants is pretty much the same>>As soon as you pass your trials you are safely and quickly implanted the geneseed>>all your training is immediately pumped in your brain by a machine>>where before ut would take years to form a single marine, now it takes a fraction of the time>>no real experience, no time spent on the field, no actual danger, you just get a power armor slapped on you and on you goThat's not at all how they are.This was only some of the dudes who were frozen in Cawl's cryostasis.Every other primaris who came after are just the above thing.
Why are WHFB's 8th Edition, 40k's 7th Edition and Horus Heresy 2.0 the best battle-scale rules sets from GW?
>>94419614No pics but I'm in the early process of making a megatrakk scrapjet out of a trukk and a marine flyer. Should be interesting.I've also got a game tonight so I get to see the Kult on the board again, which is always a good time.
>>94419647>WHFB's 8th EditionNo? 6th was better and 5th was the best.
>>94419647Why don't you explain why you believe that's true and then we will confer with the sages to enlighten you further?
>>94419608You're talking about marines, right? The most played faction?
>>94419666Checked.My capcha had 40k in it. That's why I'm correct.
>>94419614When I wake up I'll be batch painting orks. I seriously need to figure out a way to fix my basing scheme, just using Martian ironcrust with ryza rust / eldar flesh highlights makes it look dull, thinking of using a wash on it bug not sure which one
I've been priming models all morning brosim feeling light headed

>>94419687>the faction(s) with the most players are the non-player controlled characters Ok.
>>94419608marines are the real NPC faction the true protagonists of 40k are the Imperial Navy and Navigators, for whom 99.9% of the Imperium and humanity's survival rests upon. The original book was called Rogue Trader for a reason. A space marine without a Navigator to babysit him from point A to Point B is a Ground Marine and might as well pal around with Stormcast.This is a Dune knockoff world and marines are merely living in it. The spice must flow.
>>94419647>40k's 7th Editionyou can't be serious
>>94419748Wish I could, but my laptop can barely run the first Vermintide with low graphic settings.

>>94419825>CWeldar and Deldar as battle brothersWasn't 7th before the ynnari shit that made that fluffy?
>>94419016Once an anon reposted my picture and the fact that someone liked it enough to save it was the best compliment I ever got.
>>94419838Ever read Valedor? The Eldar have always come together to support each other in times of desperation.
>>94419836>TimmyWhat are the Timmy, Johnny, and Spike factions of 40k?
>>94419819>The original book was called Rogue Trader for a reasonSo you're saying rogue traders are the protagonists?
>>94419647>Best battle scale rulesMAN I LOVE HAVING TO WHIP OUT 2 DIFFERENT TABLES AND 9 RULES IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE RULEBOOK FOR ONE (1) UNIT'S TYPE
>>94419866Chaos is for spikes.For obvious reasons.
>>94419859Buth that's not what the chart says. There is a category for uniting under existential threat, extreme need and convenience. That's not what they're chartered as, they're chartered as essentially friends.
>>94419866>Spikeby definition Spikes will play what wins, they don't have a faction affinity anymore than you can say MTG Spikes have a preferred Color. "Whatever wins" is what matters. Spike is the kind of guy who'd cream his pants pulling out the pre-nerf Deathwatch Index combo that shat out 100+ mortal wounds unconditionally. >TimmyOrks, probably. In MTG "big green stompy" cards are associated with Timmy and that funnily enough carries over to 40k. Timmy is the guy who owns a Stompa and doesn't care that it's 800 points. >JohnnyTSons or Eldar. Johnny is the kind of guy who complains at every opportunity that it's bullshit the Psychic phase is gone and who actually read and memorized every one of his faction's 100+ stratagems in 9th edition
>>94419647>>94419647sorry bro i rolled a six scoop those models up
>>94419872Rogue Traders and Inquisitors are the closest things 40k had to "protagonists" for many years, yes. Now that 30k slop is popular and ADB is "Head of Narrative" there's a push for Primarchs everywhere, but that's a very very recent development compared to the game's total history
>>94419909>there's a push for Primarchs everywhereThat's what sells unforunately, there's a reason why Marvel and DC got so popular
>>94419866>TimmyMarines, Knights, Guards, Custards, Death Guard, World Eaters, Daemons, Necrons, Orks, Squats>JohnnyGay Knights, Sons, Bad Marines, Nids, Agents>SpikeAdmech, SoB, Gay Elves, Gayer Elves, Jeanstealers, Tau
>>94419909You keep bringing that up in a lot of threads
>>94419930>muh marvel I instantly just tune out this complaint.
>>94419819>>94419872>>94419909Bait use to be believable
>>94419866nids is pure timmycorecool dinosaur army
>>94419909>that's a very very recent development compared to the game's total historyThe 90s didn't happen 10 years ago
>>94419976it can be, every army can fall into all three categories, somehow, and usually when I encounter women who play nids they approach it with a very timmy mindset, but the MAJORITY of nid players I've ever played against are all trying to do some weird thing that's actually kind of cool
>>94419909Marines have been the protagonists since RTBut cute bait
>>94419866Maybe I'm just intellectually insufficient but it seems really hard to be a Johnny in 10th because of how the specificity of so many detachments blocks outside-the-box combos.
>>94419831Necrons are a force of nature that prioritize the greatest threats to the dynasts. Tau aren't a meaningful threat in any given context, so an alliance would just be necrons purging X target while tau stand aside and provide covering fire.
>>94418853oh that is good. top marks
>>94420088idk, I think the possibility is still there, but it's more in how Johnny tends to be a fluffy playerI play knights currently, and I can share three lists that perfectly encapsulates how the different types approach playing an obvious timmy factionSpike list: Canix Rex, all armigers, callidus assassinhe wants to win, he knows he needs to flood the board and still do secondaries, he only plays the power units so mostly warglaives and a couple helverinsTimmy list: 3 bigs, filled with armigers to round it outtimmy wants big stompy robots, he plays big stompy robots, objectives are picked up through superior firepowerJohnny list: 2 Atrapos, Canis rex, armigers, and callidus assassinJimmy looked at a unit no one was bringing and said "I will build my entire strategy around this, and it will win" and it does, it's very effective and weird
>>94420088The biggest tournament outside the US was won not too long ago by a detachment most people considered to be crap using units people considered to be mid
>>94419647>7EGood
>>94420144What was the army and the unit and the tournament?
>>94419647not even close
>>94420144Using unorthodox units/cards to undercut the meta and win is a Spike thing. Johnny is about long combo strings and layered rules interactions and needing to spend several paragraphs explaining the rules interactions of what you're doing, even if you end up with a 45% winrate and just spamming lightning bolt at people's faces with a Burn deck would be better. Johnny was right at home in 9th with the endless piles of rules and obscure strats that realistically 95% of people just ignored since they weren't worth the CP, in 10th edition there really isn't much "combo" potential left. Johnny is drinking himself into depression after the Shrimplification of 10th, there's still a little bit of wombo combo stuff left with formerly psychic phase heavy armies but not a lot
>>94420211nospike is a netdecker, johnny accidentally stumbles on stupid shit that spike netdecks

>>94420358if you convert the wounds to what we have now, a 6 on a 7th Ed D weapon would cause 3d6+24 mortal wounds per hit when compared to 7th.That is excessive even by today's standards
A Bad Don
>>94420396Fair point anon, the only point I'd contest is that old D weapons' wounds did not spill over like Mortal Wounds did. I mean, as bullshit Destroyer was it gatekept Super-heavies which should have been Apocalypse-only units. That, and it was the only counter to 2+ re-rollable Invulns (topkek).
>>94420394I get that, but I can field a dominus class knight for 510 points, iirc you can even ally one, and it brings way better fire support and costs 180 dollars is kind of what I'm getting at

>>94419836the people who play tyranids because they like their lore or enjoy painting them are in the extreme minority
>>94420779TrueI know 1 nids player irl and hes a mega autist
>>94420502I'm a fatass with flat duck feet and an eating disorder. I don't think I'll get drafted.
>>94420372James didn't get a cent from me for it. Dropping 6 termies and a dreadnought 20" down the board turn one is fun
Dark Eldar were at their most fun from 3rd to 5th edition. That is all.
>>94417795>playing with half painted modelsYuck
>>94420868Found you
>>94420888That's a shop not a person dummy
>>94420870I did appreciate the codex cover being a mirror of the dark elf one except in the future.
Fluorescent enamels are pretty cool
>>94420642It isn't a thubg, whoever wrote it doesn't understand what "ordo" meant in the context, they're trying to say that the clearance level is substantial, they probably think ordo is just short for inquisition.
I just realized why intercessors have basically no options.If they had options like tactical squads, that would've needed a 5th sprue in the box.
>>94421038now you're thinking with portals anon! Now, imagine if you will, instead of intercessor squads with 2-3 specialist weapons, you just put each specialist weapon into its own specialist squad! And then, get this, each specialist squad with a specialist weapon gets a specialist passive to make their weapons even more effective!
>>94421038Removing all the different magazines (which now are just cosmetics) and the combi-grenade launcher would give you plenty of room for a few special weapons. Or, make them combis. That way you just have to give one of the bolters an option to slap a special weapon on top.
What’s a good starting point for Necron stories beyond just the lore in the codex?
>>94421062I'm up for removing the separate magazines options and just molding them into the bolter "frames" innately. Though I do like the different magazine types for visual variety, so I'd still vary the designs, 1 bolter is sculpted with a box magazine, 1 has a sickle mag, 1 has a straight mag, etc. I'd still keep the combi-grenade launcher since it looks cool.It should still give some space for special weapons.
>>94421107Nate Crowley and Robert Rath have written most of the Necron-focused stuff. Anything by them is probably worth looking into. Although Necrons also get some mildly interesting PoV in Ahriman Undying, Rise of the Ynnari: Wild Rider, and Indomitus.
>>94420998Does this mean you won't be melting down any more while slathering your models in pink paint in frustration
>>94421143Somehow necrons seem to get cool stories even when they're the baddies and have to job. feels good
>>94421106Cubicle 7 more like Pubical 7
Moon man is coming along. Still got a ways to go.
>>94421224Did you make that yourself? That's hilarious.
I was looking into the Eisenhorn novels, and there's apparently an Imperial metal called Lapidorontium that conducts psychic powers. I don't know if it's natural or an alloy and I can't find anything else on it, but I feel like this is huge. I'm sure it's already in use, but the part of the Golden Throne and Imperial Webway which is failing seems to be the metal bits that connect into Wraithbone. I know Silver conducts psychic powers to some extent, and so does Oak from Earth and Nalwood from Tanith, but this idea that the Imperium just has an actively psychic-conducting material which is potentially naturally occuring and readily available, is crazy to me. The example we're given is it being used as wiring for his force stave. We also know Electrum at least doesn't interfere with psychic channeling, if nothing else. The only other proper psychic-conducting metal I can think of were those psychic-iron cores used by the Titans associated with the Thousand Sons, and they were Hereteks.
>>94421287gold and jade are both magically conductive toolead and obsidian are anti-magical on the other hand
>>94421287I dunno ask /hhg/
>>94421322Label your threads better, if this is not the place to post lore tidbits.>>94421311Didn't know about Jade, but Gold makes some sense. It all just got me thinking what could maybe be done with it. It almost feels like an authorial mistake.
>>94421143Robert Rath seems to be the writer of a lot of the stories about this Trayzn guy I keep seeing, will definitely check it out, thanks for the info.
>looked at admech units for first time>they fucking suckFuck you guys, I'm going to /hhg/ to play Iron Hands
>>94421254GW demon prince body, belakor right arm, shoulder, and sword, tzeentch herald head, some age of Sigmar wings, tzaangor back feathers, random base I bought at NOVA years ago.
>>94421406That's cool, unironically.
>>94421366If you had just asked, we would have told you Admech had a shit codex.
Do you think Fulgrim looks good on this base?
>>94421496I think that it's going to get you weird looks at your LGS
>>94421366>they fucking suckI disagree
>>94421188tsk tsk did someone make the mistake of talking about the hobby here again?
>>94421509Talking about the hobby is one thing. Having a literal meltdown and posting pics of you intentionally drowning your model in pink paint because your mad about how it's turning is attentionwhore shit
>>94421406I think he could've use some more tentacles around the neck but he pretty cool anon
>>94421544The head was tricky. The moon did not fit on the Demon Prince's head slot properly without green stuff my inexperience with modeling green stuff lead to a thicc neck than I intended. There originally were more tentacles to compensate but the only bits I had on hand that would fit jutted out and gave him a look like Rastafarian Joker. That was amusing but it didn't look right so I ran with the moon bursting out of a mutated meat neck. If I was better with green stuff I could probably have made my own.
>>94421366But skitarii look nice
>>94421631You look nice, fag
>>94421287>readily availableHuge assumption to make.
>>94421366Not even the any of the Tech priests?
>>94421631The whole first wave was lovely. But after a certain tragic point, their whole aesthetic went off the rails.
>>94421700Wasn't Bligh a forgeworld guy and not involved in miniature design for 40k?
>>94421682Thanks anon.>>94421700The manipulus and daedolosus look pretty cool at least, you can't go wrong with more techpriests. I don't hate the higgins boat either.
>>94421700I mean I like admech but electro priests and the chicken walker look shit
>>94421696The lack of good transport vehicles is what killed it for me. They need one that could transport 22 units and kataphon units take up the space of 2
>>94421720Electrical priests are weird and very plain looking compared to the rest of the line. I have seen some pretty impressive 3rd party proxies for them though
>>94421745There's so many more ways they could've looked better. There's one site that has a bunch of them with dome heads and they look so much weird and better.
>>94421745They look more like a sister auxiliary unit than a techpriest.
>>94421224KINO
What red is used for tau sept?
>>94421406EGGcellent and MOONumenteous
Does warpstone exist in 40k?
>>94421631One good unit among a see of hideous da vinci shit. They'd fit in better as a fantasy faction. I could see myself playing them in total war warhammer. People complain about tau and votan not fitting in while ignoring the travesty that is the mechanicus.
>>94421771Khorne redAny brand yellow ochre for the yellowGo dark metallic for the metal parts, looks good with yellow
>>94421406Based af.
>>94421785There's like three da vinci units that could probably be converted away from that aesthetic if you really wanted it.
>iron hands successor that was cut off from the imperium and resorted to stealing ork cybernetics to augment themselvesRate my OC
>>94419825>DEldar>Desparate allies with chaos daemons>Necrons>Allies of convenience with CSMWhat were they smoking?
>>94421810Sounds like heresy.
how bad is it to breathe in enamels? it just seems weird if it's toxic to inhale, but they make fruit scented enamel thinners...
>>94421795he's just parroting someone else
>>944218100/10, faithful of the machine cult would literally kill themselves before touching ork shit.
>>94421789>dark metallicLike iron base covered in black contrast?
>>94421822>how bad is it to drink antifreeze? it just seems weird if it's toxic to drink, but they make it taste sweet...
>>94421834yes, that tends to look good. Use something like Black Templar though which is still a bit transparent. The other citadel black contrast is so strong it will just read as black and not a black metallic
>>94421838i mean isn't it weird to make fruit scented enamel thinners? it's not like it natural smells like fruit, they added that scent to it
>>94421695I said potentially, but given the context of the book it isn't the absolutely rarest of materials in the Imperium. Something a Magos could get their hands on. The overall point was you could probably do some crazy things with it.
>>94421848some chemicals have a fruity smell anon
>>94421822With the amount of enamel you'd have out for a normal batch of models and a solvent that isn't just straight paint stripper, you'll be fine.I do big batches of like 7 vehicles and that will give me a headache if I don't do it in a ventilated area
>>94421856The bottle says in big colorful text "fruit scented". Imagine if an anti freeze company put in big colorful text "fruit flavored"
Your thoughts?
>>94421925goonerslop
>>94421925T-rex arms.
>>94421925Ass not fat enough
>>94421935Anon?
>>94421923>The bottle says in big colorful text "fruit scented".
>>94421941I stand by my previous point
>>94421946
>>94421700admech are goodwins babyplus the gimpdogs, fat magos and archaologist are infinitely better than the FUCKING ELECTRO PRIESTSthe real issue is the lack of servitors and the hilariously transparent money grubbing that means admech can't use any of the shit they already build and use in all the lore but are exclusive to other imperial factions because new sculpts don't have as big a second hand market
>>94421995Oh, AK is on their crack again.Not as bad as the genocide diorama marketing thing but that's still fuckin weird.
>>94421810SM would hate xenos so much that it would only make sense as an unintentional and extremely desperate move. And I mean>the solar system explodes if we don't use this thing we assume is an admech creation but it's really orkUnless it's some Krork artifact the Admech mistook for DAoT, they'd never.
>>94421753These guys? Yeah ..
