I hope the tyranid bioships causes spooky eclipses whenever it arrives in system over a doomed world. If it even is a plantoid sized ship and not something else. 40k only has one weird stellar phenomena that causes eclipses, there should be way more

>>94431418Read deathwolder The amount of Tyranids in orbit casued a living aurora borealis like formation visible during night.And depending on the hive fleet size, they already drown distant stars when coming in and they cover the local sun in shade.
>>94431473I have! being like light pollution and hiding the stars isn't quite what I want though. >they cover the local sun in shadeNow that sounds cool until you think about it, how is that possible since the light is coming from the sun, there's no light shinnng onto the sun they are shading
>>94431500I need all of them shopped with the smile filter.
>>94431486Well, they cover the local sun in shade from the perspective of the prey planet.Although it would be very funny if a specially cheeky splinter fleet used a good chunk of it's biomass to constantly shade a planet to fuck with the population and defenders
Posted in the old thread accidentally.What is the point of the little 25mm base shrine(?) thingies that come with aspect warriors?
>>94431500
>>94431591look cool
>>94431591You may use them as objective markers if you feel like it
>>94431598Amazing. Thank you anon.
>>94431535>Tyranids create artificial night when they invadeThe dark Eldar and some chaos nights do the same thing when they attack. Its a really kino piece of imagery that at least 3 factions do in 40k and like no one else in sci-fi, pulpy or otherwise has the tech to do so or the interest in doing such a form of terror tactic. Should be represented in animated 40k stuff more imo, under appreciated how errie sudden night is during the day, even when people expect it via eclipses
>>94431591if you collect them all you can summon jes goodwin in the flesh
>>94431616do we know what the rest will look like? Also do the incubi get their own?
>>94431612It's really not that eerie at all>oh they could crack the planet and kill everyone here within the hour>or they just make it dark ooh spookylmao
>>94431627noyes
>>94431629>Be standard guardsmen used to a normal day night cycle>Standard day at base prepping to go to war zone>Suddenly its the dead of night when it was a bright sunny day>hear strange sounds from all directions all around you as a massacare ensures>Either xeno pirate that look like cenobites, or traitor titans attacking or a hive fleet are suddenly attacking you
>>94431644You realize that the way tyranid interstellar travel works the planet is literally having continent-forming earthquakes at this time and as soon as the fleet arrives, before the sun is covered overhead, the air will be full of instant death spores anyway?>oh no I switch my goggles on>wowYeah it's so scary lmao
>>94431616>rangers get one>shining spears don't
>>94431651>>146452793>Thinking the average guardsmen gets night vision gogglesFirst I've heard of planets getting catacysmic earthquakes before the fleet even makes planetfall, got a source?
>>94431658Shining spears look so good too, GW ignores them
>>94431629I don't think you understand how terrifying having your sun literally taken away and leaving your planet to freeze in endless night truly is.
>>94431661it's modus operandi as per the description of tyranid narvhal ships, but rarely if at all actually depicted or remembered
>Though the circumstances of their initial meeting are known to few, the once-lost Primarch of the Dark Angels and the Warden of the Imperium Nihilus fought alongside one another prior to and during the Battle of Idolatros. Just as Roboute Guilliman found himself impressed by the capabilities of Commander Dante, so too did Lion El'Jonson. The two have since formed a close understanding, and whilst the Lion departed in the wake of the battle in order to reorganise his badly mauled Chapter and pursue his own hidden agendas, the Dark Angels and their successor Chapters have agreed to contribute a sizeable number of warriors and vessels to Dante's fledgling Fleet Nihilus. Captain Lytheus of the Penitent Blades has remained upon Baal to oversee the Unforgiven attached to Dante's battlefleet; his Chapter's expertise in void and aerial combat will surely prove invaluable in the fighting to come.Gotta show the red boys how it's done.
>>94431658Shining spears wouldn't sit still long enough for the sculptor

>>94431661>First I've heard of planets getting catacysmic earthquakes before the fleet even makes planetfall, got a source?5e (or earlier but they were pretty sparse) codex maybe? I've only read one novel and there weren't nids in it so I can't think where else I'd possibly have picked it up.It was about how tyranid interstellar travel works. They don't go through the warp, they do some kind of gravity slingshot from the destination planet(?).

>>94431667>>94431675>Disastrous side effects are caused by this method of manipulating a system's gravity. The ensnared planets will often experience earthquakes, solar flares, tidal waves or other natural disasters in the period between a Narvhal harnessing the system's gravity and the Tyranid fleet actually arriving. For the Tyranids this is of course another weapon as the defenders will be busy and disorganised dealing with their own planet turning against them.From 5ed Tyrnaid codex. Wonder why it was never rementioned in later codexes, maybe GW retconned it since the gravity well they use to travel is using the starts gravity not planets
>>94431679Extremely cursed
>>94431682>an expression of pain.png
When will we have themLooking forward to tankbustas getting a non-retarded unit entry again
>>94431696January
Since we're discussing the dinosaur bug aliens I'm gonna repost this, hasn't been posted in months as far as I know and its well made and researched map made by a dedicated anon
>>94431686I mean, that text mentions the system's gravity, which would be both the star and the planetsmost probably why they have to rely on conventional means of travels from the edge of the system to the planet itself
>>94431693
>>94431700>no zoatcompletely worthless
>>94431700Post organizational structure of more factions.
>>94431720>KABAL HIGH COMMAND>Ur-Ghulskek
>>94431616Those are really fucking lame. Didn't know the Eldar were so vane. Thought they were supposed to be enlightened and euphoric and would deal more in concepts than just individuals.
>>94431700God bless you nid taxonomy anon.
>>94431729This mother fucker outranks you because the boss loves his guard dog that much and you gotta deal with it.
>>94431720
>>94431733They're not individuals, they're all aspects of Khaine
>>94431720Do ship maps count?
>>94431749I'm pretty sure some of those statues represent morai heg, kurnous and asuryan
>>94431750Blessed autism. saved.
>>94431758>squats not picturedHow old is this?
>>94431769Definitely prior to tenth edition because every faction should be shifted one more pip towards horde.
>>94431696>Unit numbers 6 modelsFat chance of that, honestly.
I like the weird spider mech things of van saar. Its the baby carrier concept finalised and done well as 'bizzare future tech'
Should I give my Havoc Champion a plasma pistol to let him do double duty as a Chaos Lord or just give him a plasma gun?
>>94431794R.I.P. my mans spine.
>>94431807If 40k can create organs that lets you peer into the mind of a persons brain you eat im sure they're figured out how to gene enchance peoples spine so cure back pain
>>94431823back pain only got worse in the year 40000, just like male pattern baldness and prostate problemsthere's no peace among the stars
>>94431834>Male pattern baldness has gotten so bad its become infectious and spread to womenThe topknot is the last stand aganist the Norwood reaper in the grim darkness of 40k
>>94431807These suits and Spyrer suits both require surgical 'nuggetification'
>>94431850These guys don't seem to be nuggets
>>94431807dude, it's an exoskeletal frame, no weight is applied onto the pilot
>>94431871the spyrer specifically need surgery to fit into the armours because they are outsourcedread: alien tech
I wanted some plastic jungle trees, but then I realized I could make trees out of copper wire. But I don't want to spend any money so I won't do either of those things.
>>94431823Back pain is often a sign of weak back muscles.
>>94431850I choose to believe the paragon warsuit pilots are subjected to similar adjustments.
Anons, how do you carry your minis? Photos are welcum
>>94431970>that picture
>>94431669The green aquila looks terrible with this scheme.
The new Votann bok was neat, but did it really need a full chapter where Ûn-Kâhl Bên directly addressed the reader and espoused how Eldar are the cause of all evil in the galaxy, and it's the Great Kin's Burden to wipe them out? What did Gav mean by that?
>>94432041I dunno ask /hhg/
>>94431970An old beer box and a camera case.
So far we have identified 3 possible lost legion chapters:>The (original (and probably also the new) Soul Drinkers:Most likely the part of the 11th legion adopted by Dorn, considering their personality doesn't match the description of the 2nd and that their enhanced omophagea and physical changes (space wendigos) would fit the native american theme of the Rainbow Warriors, the original 11th legion).>White Templars:Most likely the part of the 2nd legion adopted by Dorn, considering their personality matches the description of the 2nd)>Sons of Malice: Most likely the part of the 11th legion adopted by Guilliman (again, excessive cannibalism also Malice is basically Malal whose sacred number is 11).
>>94432083>their personality matches the description of the 2nd)What description of the 2nd?
>>94432083>native american theme of the Rainbow Warriorsthere's no native american theme to the rainbow warriors
I've only just started looking at 3d printed bits, but I could use a few pointers;I found a printer service that sells 40K compatibles, with "14k Red Wax Resin" printed in 0.025 layer height, with anti-aliasing - pic related. Is this a good standard for bits or would I need to work a lot on them in order to get them paint-ready?
>>94431970I pigged out and bought a PACK 720 with magna rack sliders from battlefoam. It's extremely good at carrying my Orks, but man it was a pretty penny.
>>94432139>doesn’t post a picture
>>94432101"Contemplative", "quiet" and "humorless". So basically a Black Templar.>>94432114Oh yeah, that was an old fan depiction, my bad.
>>944321250.025 layer height is just barely perceptible by the naked eye.Add primer and you won't notice a thing
Lets say that by some miracle I can pull it off and paint a Chaos Knight army like this Juggernaut, would it actually look cool and good on the tabletop? I'm 50-50 between this and House Lucaris.
>>94432191no, the gimmick is good for one model, but stops working on an entire armykeep your knights as house lucaris and make just one knight with this scheme, perhaps your general or his champion or the chaos equivalent of a freeblade
>>94432083>native american theme of the rainbow warriorsPlease stop looking at fanart, the Rainbow Warriors have literally zero lore, and Rogue Trader stuff is most certainly not canon. >White TemplarsAre literally just Sons of Dorn, I don’t get where you’re going with this. >Sons of MaliceActually do have lore but nothing that would indicate being 11th legion.
Unfortunate that 40k is fucking dead in my area, dark angels are cool
why are custodes bad
>>94432215Goodness, that DA box sold out instantly in every single game story in my country within fifteen minutes
>>94432235Goes to show how little anyone gives a shit about 40k here, I'd have picked it up if I had anyone to play with
>Nemesis claw got datasheet>Hand of the Archon Didn'thilarious

>>94432206>Rogue Trader stuff is most certainly not canon.fuck you>>94432229they're not bad, but they don't deserve to be their own faction, just like Grey Knights or Death Watch
>>94432229they are a very small range and a very small force in the fluff and most of the times they deploy is as a few squads in support of other imperial armies and that means they would be better as something that exists within the imperial agents codex rather than their own thingthe hyper-elite nature of the army creates an all-or-nothing situation for gameplay that makes the battles boring or frustrating with little inbetweendue to the low model count, the relatively low price point, and the fact most of the model can be painted with one metallic colour, they're often the choice of beginners who don't actually want to play a wargame with an army they have to paint, these people have a plethora of other ill characteristics, stereotypically if marines have a problem with the so called "bolterporn" that creates an unreasonably inflated reputation of the actual capabilities of marines, this problem is even more present with custodes, this hype at times borders on being obnoxious and involving autistic "power scaling"finally >
>>94432254>11And the 8th legion are the cult legion dedicated to Khorne, right?
>>94432254>>Actually do have lore but nothing that would indicate being 11th legion.>11the legion of khorne is the 12th legion despite khorne's number being 8the legion of nurgle is the 14th legion despite nurgle's number being 7the legion of tzeentch is the 15th legion despite tzeentch's number being 9the legion of slaanesh is the 3rd legion despite slaanesh's number being 6
>>94432283>difference is 4>difference is 7>difference is 6>difference is 3if the number of vashtorr is 5 and the one difference missing is 5, then the 10th legion must be the one for vashtorrwhat legion is the 10th?
>>94432202>stops working on an entire armyDoes it though? Legion of the Damned, Necrons, Gheists and other "glowy" armies seem to work just fine as a unit. But yeah I'm worried about that.
>>94432215God I hate that helmet for the DW.Classic helmet is so much better
T'au are bad at melee they said.
>>94432344Every time I read about Tau in a brawl the author always seems to forget that they were I2, even Battlesuits. Eldar, funnily enough, almost never got these kinds of advantages shown despite their I5.Maybe the real power was the author bias we got along the way.
>>94431871I'm still amazed how.much better the average design for Necromunda is.

After bringing Undivided Princes for less than a year, GW just retconned them out of AoS again via the latest Slaves to Darkness battletome.Undivided Princes are still not canon in 40K.What's GW's malfunction about this rules+lore part of the setting? They keep flip flopping on it.

How skilled with medicine are Apothecaries? Like I get that they can perform surgeries on marines just find but I'm wondering how much of that can be chalked up to the Astartes physiology already being pretty robust. Like could an apothecary reasonably perform surgery on a regular human? How do Space Marines even select for Apothecaries? I feel like your average marine isn't going to get too many chances to show aptitude with medicine in their day to day duties.Lastly, I know there's a couple of chapters that get a bit weird/obsessive with their Librarians or Techmarines. Are there any chapters, besides the Red Scorpions and Blood Angels, that do anything weird/obsessive with their Apothecaries?
Dumb question I'm genuinely interested in. How would the Imperium react to super hero type figures if they were to pop up? If some random human got superman powers would they be seen as heretical and killed or would they accepted as a tool/heroic figure?
>>94432229If it turns out they've been sent away by aeldari mind raped rowboat to make killing the emperor easier than that's sort of grimdark I guess but how else does it make sense for the emperors personal army to go do stuff? How are there even enough of them to go out and fight shit?shut? I'm assuming it's for fluff reasons like how orks getting all that beastsnagga shit is just to shoe them devolving further.
Got some cheap acrylic paints. Gonna make my little diorama.
>>94432697I dunno ask /hhg/
>>94432697>If some random human got superman powers would they be seen as heretical and killedyesthat's standard procedures for shit like that, namely psykers
>>94432697Depends on how puritan/radical the inquisitor who deals with them is but mutant very bad.
>>94432675didn't she leave you for a Salamanders player?I didn't know that the space smurfs had a gene flaw that causes ones skin to turn black

Are traitor guard any good in csm?
>>94432697At best they're sanctioned as a living saint, their existence is justified as a gift by the emperor and are used as a propaganda tool, worst case they're assumed to be a mutant or corrupted by chaos, and would be captured and executed. Potential middle ground they could be discovered by a planetary noble who tries to use them as a means for their own insurrection.
>>94432483That’s sad lol
>>94432772you dont need to run them in any detachment except chaos cult
>>94432772I've seen them on some tournament winning lists so I assume they're at least usable. I want a squad in my warband.
>>94432692>How skilled with medicine are Apothecaries? Like I get that they can perform surgeries on marines just find but I'm wondering how much of that can be chalked up to the Astartes physiology already being pretty robust. Like could an apothecary reasonably perform surgery on a regular human?Short answer yes, how do you think space marines are made? They proform surgery and implantation on children. Apothecaries are in charge of making new marines, creating marine organs, fixing wounded marines, implanting cybernetic or vat grown limbs, putting marines in dreadnought, countering enemy toxins and alien pathogens that marine immunity system can't handle, they also devise their own toxins and countermeasures against aliens, especially when in deathwatch, monitor health of marines. Also there is big diference between battlefield "surgery" that is more like injecting marine with chemicals so he will stay alive and surgery once wounded is evacuated. They can and do preform surgery on normal humans, but outside of creating new SM they have no reason to do it.>How do Space Marines even select for Apothecaries? Same how they select chaplains or techmarines, they observe and test recruits, and there is a lot of ocassions where marine can show interest in medicine, because marines get wounded all the time.>Lastly, I know there's a couple of chapters that get a bit weird/obsessive with their Librarians or Techmarines. Are there any chapters, besides the Red Scorpions and Blood Angels, that do anything weird/obsessive with their Apothecaries?You just named entire bloodnline of space marines, genetic lineage that have it's own codex and entire army of successor chapters is this not enough? Grey Knights also have special apothecaries in Palladin Squads who are most elite GK terminators.
