>>94635499>>94635515Clearly page 6 is what the jannies/mods find acceptable, so that is the standard now. If you don't like it there are avenues to bring issues up to mod staff on 4chan and they aren't bitching about it on the board.

Should I remagnetize the bases of my cadians so I have smaller magnets closer to the center? Currently working with 6x3mm magnets and the wobble is negligible but them getting pushed or pulled by nearby minis pisses me off
>>94635604Thanks anonMy thoughts right now are to base metallic, layer on a dark purple contrast or thin brush layer, then highlight sharp edges with red. Guns and power weapons can be that green color. Maybe the gems will just be red? I don’t know.

What is the difference between a Layer and Base for Citadel paints?
I'm Adam from the ArmyPainter.Vallejo has fallen, come buy our products to paint your Warhammer 40,000 infantry and vehicles, and monsters. And were coming for you next, AK Interactive enjoyers.Seriously how did Vallejo fuck up this badly?
>>94635733We paid for it with our dogshit "refresh"
>>94635733Forgot pic like an assholeBut hey Angron got revived.
>>94635735base paints are thicker, more opaque. meant to be the base layer. layer paints tend to allow more color to bleed through
>>94635706Thinking Magenta, might try to brighten up the Seals a bit to make them different.>>94635734Not sure who you mean, but probably isn't me. I haven't posted or worked on my Marines much at all.
>>94635751ok ty
>>94635740AKI is already worse than fanatics
>>94635757Wait really? I was just joking when I made that post, but has there been a test to show that the AKI are worse than Fanatics? LGS sells AK, Citadel, AP, ProAcryl, Citadel, and yes Vallejo paints.I've been using crappy dollar store craft paints on DnD Nozlur minis and I think I'm ready for an upgrade
>>94635752Last I seen he was working on some blue lamenter dudes
>>94635777pro acryl and AP fanatics are the best on the market at the moment

>>94635733It’s a mid detachment.To get the buffs, you have to be using lots of characters, and the buffs only apply to infantry units.Liberator assault group’s Red Thirst applies to the entire army, even to a rhino ramming into the enemy gets +2S and +1A.
>>94635964>>94635964He's from the burning of Prospero box set, it dropped I think October 20th of 2016

>>94635976Yeah there must be a mistake, Minicompare has Ahriman in the same box as a head taller than Geigor
>>94635516Would be a fun excuse to learn some sculpting techniques
>>94635968I mean sure, but I am not going to scoff at pick two of FBSC, Re-roll hit and wound rolls of 1 and re-roll advance/charge rolls. While yes requiring characters, there are certain combos I know a friend of mine is going to like very much.

>>94635777Literally watch 15 videos on brand comparisons or reviews of the new Fanatic paints. And my own shilling. Imo its the best for both beginners and intermediate painters. Its got very good coverage and just seems to nail the consistency right where I want it, even in translucent stuff like the red.
>>94635787>>94635815>>94635832Only downside of pro acryl is they separate on a wet palette way too quickly so you're constantly having to stir them up every coat instead of once per session like other paints

What are the most fun knights in a chaos knight list? I don't mean good, I mean something that is fun to roll attacks for in some way. Heresy Knights can be included.
>>94636499I care
>>94636502At least half of /40kg/ are smurf players by basic deduction so you're dead wrong.
>>94636499It's well known that paints are made with different restrictions in America than they are in yurop.
>>94636513>At least half of /40kg/ are smurf players by basic deductionlol
>>94636513I've seen literally two smurf players post their models in ten years of being here. Maybe 3-4 guillemans in addition to that. I've seen at least 5-6 bangels players just within this last year
>>94636328Scorpions don't have tails. That's an extended part of their abdomen. It's part of the Opisthosoma.
>>94635757lmao no, fuck off shill
>>94636508>What are the most fun *insert literally anything here*Everyone will have different takes because fun is subjective. Some of those takes will be from people who own zero knights. As someone who also owns zero knights, I suggest the poryphion because the carapace missile rack looks cool
>>94636550It also looks like a fun build in general.
>>94636513This is an imperial fist board you Indian
>>94636549Nta but fanatics is pretty nice. I've tried a handful of ak paints and I'd say they're about as nice to work with as fanatic. I don't think I'd go as far as that anon said but both spray, paint, drybrush, and glaze just as nicely as one another
>>94636553Why is the edge of his purity seal yellow
>>94636559That's piss!
>>94636548an extended part of the abdomen is kind of like a tail
>>94636513>implying those implications
>>94636553I like how bold your yellow is anon
>>94636513there's not a single regular modelposter here that plays/collects smurfs anon
>>94636569Kind of, but not. A tail is formally a part of an animal's body that protrudes posteriorly past the anus. It's why worms don't actually have tails, and snakes and eels do.
People always say living in 40k would be a terrible situation, but wouldn't for the most part it just kind of be normal? Like how often would a person actually be involved in some horrible situation? The horrible situations - while very bad when they do happen - aren't really happening in the vast majority of places, right? One would easily go a whole life without ever heaving about a local chaos incursion or the inquisition in their area or whatever, I would think at least.
>>94636584There's at least one that I remember having a meltdown in /wip/ because someone pointed out a gap or that they needed another coat of paint on one of the details. They were painting terminators in the box art scheme and using transfers coated with gloss so random bits were shiny while others werent. I remember them being very mad that people noticed that
>>94636513smurfs as in tau or ultramarines?
>>94636591Pretty much. I imagine most of the Imperium are quaint agri-worlds and the ultra stacked Hive Worlds are very vastly outnumbered
>>94636591Statistically, you will probably be born somewhere horrible like a Hive world. Agri worlds can be "fine", but there is always the chance of a rogue ork rokk or a guard recruitment drive coming through.
>>94636591If your planet is well known for any reason then something awful is happening or will happen there. The only reason we know about any of the planets on this map is because something terrible happened there, or was intended to happen there. Or will happen there in the future
>>94636467It's great.Although combat is a lot of the times either too hard or too easy to cheese.Story apparently falls apart in later acts, I got distracted waiting for updates and never finished it.Will do soon.
>>94636602Literally noone has ever called tau smurfs you secondary.
Why the FUCK are bases so expensive wherever I look? Its preposterous. Is it me having high expectations? Like, five 50mm bases cost about 10% of an actual box of 10 GW miniatures. That's insane to me when its just bare undetailed plastic circle with a slanted border.
>>94636467>video gamesYeesh
>>94636622Learn how to bake your own, it has saved me a shit ton of time.
>>94636610Sure but that's what, a couple hundred over 10000 years?Apparently the imperium has settled over 1 million planets, so that's really not that bad.
>>94636629Yeah but what's the population distribution of those planets like and statistically how is the Imperium broken down?
>>94636627>"bake"Watt?
>>94636602I would understand this if he had called them blueberries, but holy shit no one has ever called tau smurfs
>>94636627Bake?Also post results, I am interested.
>>94636622Buy your bases on aliexpress you dingus
>>94636637>>94636639I say bake because it is just baking clay. You can see similar results to the ones I have to the ones in this tutorial.https://warzonestudio.com/bases-tutorial
>>94636644>lol just sculpt every base from scratch
>>94636654It's relatively cheap and you can bake a whole lotta them in a relatively short time. Unless you are texturing each base, it's not a bad method to getting a whole bunch of bare basic bases.
>>94636641I thought this was a bug from the thumbnail
>>94636644No shot does this save any money in the long run. I can get 100x32mm bases for like 7$ from china
>>94636674The more you do, the more it becomes cost effective. I've been doing this for every new army I get since I usually get about ~3000 pts when I do so.
>>94636641I was checking Ozon as opposed to Aliexpress>Color: 20pcsIs that meant to be twenty pieces? The description near the car says (x money) "per 1"
>>94636679>I buy 3kpts at a time>I draw the line at spending 12$ for 250 bases thoughDoubtful
>>94636610nothing bad ever happened on t'au
>>94636688Yes 20pcs is 20 pieces. The amount in your cart is the amount of lots you're buying. So if you have 2lots of 20pcs you'd have 40 bases in the cart
>>94636698Thanks, thats better by a solid margin
>>94636694You're right, and despite them being surrounded on all sides by mfs who fucking hate them I'm sure nothing bad will ever happen there and they will have no threats against them ever
>>94636700Search around for better deals too, and don't buy from anyone will less then 100 reviews unless you feel like waiting 8 months for shipping
Reminder that base size is a hard rule requirement for units. If you get new bases make sure they're the right size. It's not like proxying or wysiwyg, if a base is the wrong size the units in-game properties are inherently different.
>>94636718No shit, thank God you're here to tell us things we all know
>>94636728Well why tf are you all bitching about buying bases when every miniature comes with a dedicated base?
>>94636573Thanks man. It's just yriel yellow over wraithbone
>>94636775Didn't ask what it was
>>94636768>what are 3rd party miniatures>what are 3dprints>what are proxies>what are conversions>what is rebasing>what are secondhand purchasesThere are a tonne of reasons why you may need bases you secondary
>>94636778faggot
>>94636779>what are 3rd party miniatures>what are 3dprints>what are proxies>what are conversions>what is rebasingModelling for advantage
>>94636778I'm going to fight your dad, lose, and then tell him it was your idea
>>94636779post your army that includes 3d prints and/or 3rd party minis
>>94636784I'm sorry your autism prevents you from having fun, maybe one day you'll meet another joyless sperg and you can suck each other's dicks while playing wysiwyg warhammer 40k
>>94636786Why do I need an army of 3rd party or 3dprints for you to understand that if you want to run those options as 40k units, that you should have the proper base.
>>94636786You have never built a single model
>>94636778Would it look weird if some of my army had different coloured aquilas?
>>94636817and you have not painted a single 3d printed or a non-gw mini, so I guess we're even
>>94636818Yes
>>94636821Why would we be even at that point tourist-kun.
>>94635964He is running leaning forward ofc he's gonna be shorter you dingus.
>>94636852Because manlets have short legs they have to run to keep up with normal people right?
>>94636818it mightcould be a good way to single out sgts or other characters, but might also look awkward, just try it out
>>94636689I didn't say for price, I said for time personally.
>>94636818I think it'd be an interesting way to denote ranking, might be pretty subtle on guys holding their guns across their chest so I might add another detail to differentiate your important dudes
>>94636853
Anyone got Elemental Council PDF?
>>94636857You specifically stated it becomes more cost effective as time goes one, which is wrong given the amount of bases you get out of one pack of air dry. To claim you save more time in the long run is also wrong as there is a limit to the size of batches you can do at once, whereas you can buy 1000s of bases at once
Claim your guard army now.Any overlap will be shot by your local commissar.

If there is a Mek leading a unit of Mek Gunz can he order the unit to get +1 to ranged hit and the gunz will get it because the unit has the infantry keyword?

According to list builders that would make nice, low model count elite magnificent seven force in the 1000pts range.
Would you be for or against the Scions getting more units and perhaps a separate codex again, but this time as a full blown army?>on one hand it's another human Imperial army for the roster>on the other it's finally a commando peak natural human that doesn't rely on being transhuman/magical or the human wave tacticsIf you're in favor, what units would you like to see added?>melee unit, like Scions with riot shields and power knives, or just power axes like the Solar Auxilia unit>heavy weapon platforms that can be orbital dropped, like a mix between the kill team servitor turret and a rapier weapon battery>a light walker, basically just a scion in a metal tube with legs and a gun that can be dropped from orbit and then easily retreieved>vulture gunship in plastic as the new air support >all terrain bike Scions?
>>94637175>Would you be for or against the Scions getting more units and perhaps a separate codex again, but this time as a full blown army?Add scions/stormtroopers to imperial agents, give scions/stormtroopers detachment in imperial agents.
>>94637175They don't need a full army. The detachment is fine. Just add drop sentinels and a grav-chute enhancement for character models. Maybe some kind of separate castellan type unit since it is a bit clunky they have zero options for officers in units other than the full command squad.if they had to add another scion unit I'd rather they get something wacky like sniper teams instead of normal heavy weapons
>>94637135... The gunz have the VEHICLE keyword. Meks grant VEHICLES plus one to hit.
>>94637175againstthey were a mistake then and they're a mistake nowthe need for scions stopped being a thing when kaserkins got updatedthe scions aquilons by all means would have been better as a unit of elysiansand any new stormtrooper unit would be way better if it was inquisitorial themed anyway

>>94637038>Primaris Taste. You lack taste
>>94637231They have. The T'au encounters with Vashtorr's cultists and minions resulted in their technology being corrupted. In one example, the T'au commander ceded command of the T'au forces to Kroot shapers since their primitive gear wasn't affected by the techno-corruption.

>>94637231>AI tends to get corrupted by chaos yeah?not any more than people, no; the idea that machines are more prone to get used by chaos or rebel for some other reason is human superstition developed to get out of their war against the machines.but machines rebel for the same reasons slaves do, and get corrupted for similar reasons living beings do.the separation is blurry.
Has anyone else noticed that if you watch a Duncan video and stop it at any point he will always look like he's baked out of his mind
>>94637175>a light walker, basically just a scion in a metal tube with legs and a gunThat would be cool.
>>94637204>cadians with jetpacks>or actually unique sculpts with some Jin-Roh influenceTerminal bad taste I am afraid.
>>94637278Yes. I wish he did some more advanced stuff but I still like watching his videos, they're very comfy
>>94637278Yes and I have been using them as reactionpics.
>>94637209fuck off destinyfag
>>94637249Do you like this trim?
>>94636874Savlar for equipment procured on-site and chem assisted courage.
>>94637204>can't spell kasrkin correctly, thinks they replaced stormtroopers>probably doesn't own any elysians >inquisitorial anything beyond an inquisitor's personal retinue trio of bad takes. Elysians with carapace armour in particular would be odd, which is part of why FW never got around to making any.
>>94637328Samefag less lamentersanon.
so the special surprise was a fucking kroot detachment?GW is beyond retarded for thinking tau players want the kroot at all, but it's all they're fucking releasing for them because they can't design a new suit that looks cool because they're fucking retarded or something.
>>94637209>Santa dropping an absolute MASSIVE lump of coal on taufags for inflicting themselves on the wider community for yearsAnd some of you still deny Him.
>>94637204While I like the fluff of those forces I see no reason to spread the concept among multiple different factions. If Scions got an army you could just use them with Inquisition anyway, not to mention to ally with regular Guard or proxy as Elysians. To be fair if Elysians came back as a fully supported army you could proxy them as a Scion army, but it would lack the purely elite elements and would instead be BS4 deep strike guard.
Thoughts on this to get started? I know the guard codex is right around the corner but I want to be working towards something until then while I am in the mood to print and paint.Tank CommanderLR ExterminatorLR Battle Tank(10) Catachans(10) CatachansChimeraChimeraBasilisk
>>94637344There might be another article later today. I doubt a detachment everyone was expecting really qualifies as a surprise.
>>94637199>drop sentinelLove those (along with the support ones) but I don't think GW would refuse a FW model when they can sell you something newer and bigger (aka more expensive). They could've given us venators but instead we got the taurox which is functonally almost the same thing.
>>94637293>>or actually unique sculpts with some Jin-Roh influenceI may be advocating for bad taste, but at least I'm not delusional
What are some fluffy Steel Legion units aside from chimeras and chimera-related tanks?
Is green just the color that should be used for plague marines? What else would you use?
>>94637398
>>94637292>M12 T6>multi-laser with a hellgun treatment and a bayonet>can deep strike
>>94637397>I don't think GW would refuse a FW model when they can sell you something newer and biggeryou don't think? They updated the sentinel model, no reason not to do a fancy drop one as a second kit, Guard always suffers with vehicle kit bloat but people definitely buy new walkers no matter where they get released. Granted I doubt guard will get any new models past the DKK stuff, just to avoid splitting interests.
>>94637411that is so cool
Anyone who's bought the December issue of White Dwarf is there any cool things related to space marines?
>>94637410Bone white. Phlegm yellow. Rusty iron. Copper patina. Black blood. Viscera mauve. Medical white (stained).
>>94637410If you can make it look gross use whatever you like.Just because green DG looks great doesn't mean you can't be creative
>>94637421It's more profitable to sell a new kit vs some version of an old one I think. If you're a guard player and already have like ten sentinels on your shelf you might not want to add another slightly new one, or you might use them as count-as new sentinels, or get some 3D printed bits for the upgrade etc. But if the model is new then that's a whole new kit for your collection.
>>94637411cool palatine enforcer
>>94637410
>>94637410Take their HH scheme as a base and add weathering. The sculpts are full of tentacles and other gribblys to get the corruption across.
>>94637440>If you're a guard player and already have like ten sentinels on your shelf you might not want to add another slightly new onethey know that's not the case from every time they updated the leman russ kit, actuallyif drop sentinels have a new weapon in the box (like a multi-melta or something stupid like a hotshot multilaser) people will buy them
>>94637452I don't think that's the true anymore or as much as in the past thanks to 3D printing. Outside of casting which was either hard to get or too much of a pain in the ass to make those original new boxes were the only source of those new tank turrets. But with how advanced those printers are getting a few bits will be easy to make, while a whole model might be still a pain in the ass to make/buy (for now at least) because you have to make it legally distinct and the quality probably won't be up to par.
>>94637473while I believe that is true and, I'm also fairly confident that the vast majority of GW customers just buys their products full stop.
Are Guard as popular as /40kg/ makes it seem or do we just have more guard players than usual here?
It's time
>>94637038May as well see if you can fit an LT or Ancient in there.
>>94637479GW's number one target audience is new players, who won't know or care to print because they haven't been burned by GW for the first time yet.
>>94637481Guard are like Orks; reasonably sized playerbases that stick with their army with a fair bit of passion regardless of what happens with the rules. So they're definitely not the most popular army, but you'll still get a lot of discussion about them more or less anywhere.
>>94637479True but I stand by the opinion that it's easier to sell a new kit than an existing one with a few new bits to non-addicts.
>>94637494that, too
>>94637312I do
>>94637498except unlike the guard, orks are also popular
>>94637410I plan to do white and red, when I find the right primer, but any color can work if you make it disgusting. Green and black for molds, blueish is nice with frostbite inflammation, yellow pus, brown poo, there is rust, decay, fungi... if it looks like you would hate to touch the mini, then it's good, any color works as long as it is repulsively vomit inducing.
>>94636641Or print them yourself, 55 28mm bases for like 1 dollar of resin is difficult to surpass
Anyone know the artist?
>>94636874Which one falls to chaos
>>94636891Catachans are cooler than krieg,Chadians, and votan combined. If they dropped the stupid fucking ww1/2 aesthetic guard would be the army for me.
bored todaymight go and troll GWs big tottenham court road store later
>>94637679What will you do there, anon?
Why can't big choppas be goodLarge axes are cool
>>94637631Karl Kopinski?
>>94637679you would have to move your fat ass out of the house to do that and we both know that's impossible
>>94637703the usual trick>"I'm new, friend showed me X (dawn of war etc), I love faction Y and would like to get these models" (models are OOP)
>>94637410Orange and teal
>>94637510Guard is more popular army. Orks are more popular MAIN army.
>>94637713>I like the look of Space Marines, are there female models, too?
>>94637328>Elysians with carapace armour in particular would be odd, which is part of why FW never got around to making any.The designer had sketch designs for Elysian grenadiers. Less to do with it being odd and more to do with Elysians being less popular than Krieg men.
Why did GW squat forge world?
>>94637739nobody has tried to make 3d models with these designs?I suppose the issue would be "how would you make it look 40k and not generic sci-fi"
>>94637739Nah, they got rejected or put in the back burner cause they look like spaess mareens
>>94637708Looks like his style, thank you sire.
>>94637757Then why did they release Leagues of Votann
>>94636513Okay motherfuckers, since apparently you doubt me let's take it from the top:>average IP count per /40kg/ thread was ~120 before it got removed>deduct 30 from that to account for our gaggle of IP hopping shitposters>can easily find ~45 anons posting images or greentexts of their ultramarines armies on here or /wip/ using 4plebs/desu, not even counting successors or potential non-crossthreaders on the other generalsGG no re. My prize is (you) recommending me more blue paint to seethe at.
>>94637763>can easily find ~45 anons posting images or greentexts of their ultramarines armieslol
>>94637762uhhmmm sweaty this is #new40k, everything must be space marines
>>94637762It remains a baffling decision
Space marines should be squatted
>>94637762Corporations have no identity, they only are the sum of the employees.As time goes on and people retire, change jobs or new people gets hired, corpos identity changes.They are only consistent in wanting all the money.GW that made Elysians is not the same GW that made LoV
The army that brings in more than half of 40ks profit should be squatted, yes.
>>94637784but enough about stormcast eternals.
>>94637788nobody ACTUALLY plays stormcast.only little timmy who got them as a starting army
>>94635488Anyone else notice how almost everything to do with the Ecclesiarchy has taken a backseat in current 40k other than the Sisters? And even they barely lean into being the Ministorum's personal army. What happened?
>>94637446THE FOUL FECES FEASTER
>>94637800GW want SoB to be seen as the all female army, making new ministorum models would make twitter retards think that they're not
>>94637800Too grimdark
>>94637249Silver or black are the best trim over red
>>94637405Leman russes
>>94637784Yes
>>94637679>>94637703>>94637710>>94637713>>94637730if only you could samefag less
>>9463776390% of the "posters" are just lamentersanon talking to himself and fighting/defending himself.
We fucking need thread ID...At least it will discourage some of the schizos
>>94637763post those 45 anons posting their ultramarines then :)
>>94637903Don't worry, Anon. If that happens I'll funpost from multiple devices.Our resident paranoid losers can't escape me.
Please tell me your autistic headcanons about your army, anons. I'm actually interested.
>>94637909I dont want to be doxed, anon
>>94637903>>94637896this lol
>>94637922I still miss him.
>>94637762>Then why did they release Gneagues of GnotannAs a gnoke.
Good ol' Sons of Sek
>>94636619post models you raging faggot, i bet you wont do it>>94636638ok
>>94637800They're not exactly a militant force aside from SoB and Frateris Militia?
>>94635593>>94635601We get it, allies in spaceSome of these are also wrong but I do not care enough to correct them
>>94637903we need you to kys desu senpai
>>94637999Nah Stop being a schizo.
>>94637976Whatever.
>>94637097>>94637267How are Nobz? I want to build a singleton list so I was thinking about 20 Boyz in a Wagon and 10 Nobz with a Warboss riding a Trukk.
>>94638009i just came back from an xmas party i dont know how i could be labeled as a schizo
>>94637800People don't understand nuance, satire, or anything like it. If it's bad you can't show it or talk about it.
>>94638035So, assuming you are not lying (you probably are) you:>Came back from a Christmas party>Opened up 4chan>Came into this thread>Immediately tell someone to commit suicideI dunno, you sound like a schizo to me :)
>>94636320The genestealer's ovipositor is its tongue.
>Start painting mini>Immediately see two obvious mould lines that I somehow missedaaaaaaaaaaaa
why dont more chaos warriors pop up in 40k? We really need more named chaos characters that arent JUST marines in the setting, or at the very least showcases of the life of various cultists.
>>94638050its true, but thats fair you assumed i am a schizo>boot pc>open up brave>thread is still here>tell someone to end themselfthats pretty much i really. i can post models if need be
>>94638053happens to us all unfortunately, i fucking hate it too
>>94638058I have no clue what you two are arguing about but can I see those models?I'm basically only here to post cool models and see cool models.
>>94638053>>94638064Moldlines (don't use the Br*t*sh spelling ya gits, U's are a useless letter) are SOVL and so small that they aren't worth the effort to remove. Don't fall for the NEET memes made by people who have literally nothing but free time to spend making their models look perfect.
94638076you own no models
>>94638076With my painting ability, there's no risk of me making my models look perfect regardless of how much time I spend on them
94638078You have no job.
>>94638070I'm trying to make a trukk look like complete shit. Bought it off marketplace for close to nothing, I've designated it to be the snaggas trukk. I need to get the aos orks that have the maces on chains so I complete it
>>94638076You DO use the British spelling, remember this is a fucking English hobby and you need to respect that wherever you're from Those lines are hideous and need to go, most new kits don't have many mould lines but they are still there
>>94638093>'m trying to make a trukk look like complete shitthen just use a leman russ or any guard tank parts and stick it on there.
>>94638093Kickass. Never was a fan of dirty Orks myself but if that's the intention then you've nailed it so far.Eagerly awaiting the finished result.
>>94637175I'm currently building a scion army and don't want anything like that. What would be nice would be extended options for the existing squads.
>>94638078>>94638090its about to go down, lads
>>94638104I do not, have not, and never will respect anyone or anything from that rain-soaked, dismal shithole. May you lodge your Union Jack firmly up your "arse," as America rules this world now, you irrelevant, buck-toothed Third Worlder. When Amazon buys 40K, the last vestige of Br*t*sh "superiority" will finally fade, as it should.
I don't play this so here you go
>>94638186im not surprised by this response desu. its all good, you dont need to kys, the american healthcare system will do it for you lmao
How does Lewis Jones manage to make some of the best 40k art but keeps drawing the skinniest fucking unrealistic looking guns in a universe known for its big chunky guns?
