Tell me about daily life in the underhive.
>>94641681It really sucks for everyone in every imaginable way, and it doesn't ever really get better, even for the ones who claw their way to the top of the shitheap that is Underhive society.
We need the Iron Warriors to return as servants of VashtorrWe need Valdor to come back as a daemon of Malice that slays other chaos daemons and leads a renegade army
>>94641678Yeah once it stopping justy being the old /tg/ meme videos it got bad, its meta plot was dumb. I also hated how there was no unified artstyle or models, some was canon art, others was shit fan art.
>>94641678yes that shit was always unfunny cringe.
>>94641678I wish it had stopped sooner.
>>94641715Too interesting and fun for GW to ever do it. Having the first captain of the custodes fall to chaos after 10k years of thankless unrecognised service would upset the golden banana fanboys despite being a good way for his character arc to go. Abnett is a marvel writer so he would never do it, but it would be great twist if he did though, since he was given such an evil title with the 'King in Yellow' moniker. Being the leader of a resurgent Malice in response to the resurgence of Vashtorr in real space

>>94641674I got several Sisters of Battle units in a secret Santa last year. I have a wrapped box given to me I'm waiting to open on Christmas
>>94641761all of these are terrible
>>94641780Your IQ is below 30.
>>94641784I'm ashkenazi, my IQ is 280
>>94641678Not me, I loved it and wish it had gone on for a while yet.
played my first two games of 10th edition today. i haven't played since 7th but it seems kinda fun. Characters seem really important now since they give buffs to units they're attached to. I got invited to a crusade campaign so I may have to start formulating a real theme for my army
>>94641734>>94641739>>94641740>>94641787Samefag less. Only you care to crossthread post.
>>94641794you are a retard.
>>94641761you can't list stuff that isnt fun and then say you want fun back
can someone explain what these are and why are they painted red usually?are they just BT specific purity seals?
Anybody here done a terminator librarian kitbash? I want to customize mine but I'm blanking on ideas
>>94641803to differentiate them from the tabard color
>>94641762Everything about Vashtorr is really great and a cool direction for chaos to go, excpet his own model because the metal apron on a tall skinny frame and bare flesh just makes him look naked and weak
>>94641819he was set up back in 4th edition if you'd believe it, anyways I look at his model as a snapshot of that first manifestation he makes to meet Abaddon
>>94641811no, they still have regular purity seals
>>94641834>>94641834unironically email the white dwarf team, in 506 they asked for that type of question
>>94641828>he was set up back in 4th editionHow so? You refering to the single line about the nameless lords of the forge of souls?
>>94641784Isn’t that a compliment, the closer to 1 makes you more special
>>94641841yeah, and about how hes a powerbroker etc
>>94641839they do actually get back to you about this stuff. A while ago I emailed them about the color scheme for a minor Space Marine Chapter. several months later I got a response. The guy said he'd asked everyone who might know but nobody had an answer
So between the giantess topic from a few posts back and this artwork I recently saw I was struck with a question:how much size variation would you like to see among abhuman strains?
>>94641863same anon, they got back to me about the statues that come with the new aspect warriors. I asked if they were supposed to be a token for a rule that never made it and they said no they just had extra sprue space
Where can I find all the Codex or White Dwarf PDF scans?
>>94641819the box paint scheme is terrible. the dirty gold armor gets lost in the bronze trim and does nothing as a spot color. and the all grey flesh is horrifically boring, especially considering that it's supposed to be flesh torn from anyone who happened to be standing nearby when Vashtorr entered reality
>>94641819>>94641881His model honestly looks more fitting as a greater daemon of Vashtorr than being Vahstorr himself
>>94641887Vashtorr isnt a full god yet, he really should be greater daemon tier.
I'm reading about the Octarius War and how an ork planet was invaded, but only a single bio-ship unleashed its spores before being destroyed. The Tyranids engaged in a guerilla war, pooling resources bit by bit until the planet was totally consumed. It felt a little weird. Like, wouldn't that mean any planet that ever has any tyranid presence will inevitably be destroyed? If the Tyranids can perform such unbeatable feats?Idk.
>>94641874gonna ask them then because here I even found an example where they use both in the same kit
>>94641891Greater daemons power is a massive spectrum though. One keeper of secrets got killed by a single shot of a melta while standing next to a blank in a Cain book. Others has them solo worlds. Same case with the 'average' daemon prince who are meant to be on par with them. Vashtorr and Be'lakor are meant to be a league above great daemons/daemon princes though. GW used the term chaos demi-god for them
>>94641921Each chaos god has orders of daemons, so khorne has circles of bloodthirsters with each circle having different strengths. This isn't even factoring in how the veil works >GW used the term chaos demi-god for themI've never seen that term used in any material, maybe they used it informally?
>>94641901a planet held by a more intelligent species would know the risk of spores and attempt to do a systematic cleanse of any affected areas before they could spread.
>>94641901Tyranid bioforms aren't as pervasive as Ork spores. For Tyranids to actually consume a planet and win, they need to develop bigger and more complex bioforms, leaving them open for discovery and erradication.If you ask me, it's more bullshit to have orks be an almost perpetual infection on any planet they step on, but at least it's balanced with them being tribal retards until a boss comes around.
>>94641761My nigga you forgot the most important things>AV>Facings>Firing arcs>old deepstrike rules with true risks and randomness
>>94641921I don't think the first example suggests the KoS was weak. Presumably having a blank right there meant the Daemon's connection to reality was super tenuous.
>>94641930>maybe they used it informally?Yeah its how they describe him in the reveal trailer where they discuss his design philosophy and his model design. So being a chaos demi-god is how hes first described when introduced leading to people using that to understand his power in the chaos pantheon even if thats now what he is
>>94641965yeah but that sort of language isn't something we really see in the work as a way to evaluate others
>>94641970yeah totally, its just an informal way GW wanted to describe his powers thats no reflected in the canon. The only person that could be a 'demi-god' of chaos would be Archaon since his dad was Belakor who possesed or was pretending to be a human. And Orghotts Daemonspew from the end times whose dad was a Great Unclean One
Is there any app or website where I can preview what a paint scheme may look like before I commit to buying a bunch of paints?
>>94641984There are a few other beings that would fall into that tier, there's the screaming god child, Doombreed in aos is getting so massive he's making his own sub daemons, some of the beings from eldar myth like ceogorach's eagle
>>94641989impcatcosts money though
>>94641991>Doombreed in aos is getting so massive he's making his own sub daemonsGot a source for that? >Screaming god childIs that still canon, its from an old warhammer fantasy comic
>>94641915They're just different colored parchment. Templars have their own design flairs and this is just another way to represent the personality of: templar who was given the seal; or the personality of whomever designated it; or even the personality of the scribe who wrote it. It's not that complicated man.
>>94641834the lore explanation comes after the colour design stuff. it's also why plasma colours are different.
>>94642011>Got a source for that?its in yndrasta novel after Yndrasta fights him he becomes shards of himself, he's also called a daemon king something I entirely forgot about aswell. Thats a rabiithole I have to go down>Is that still canon, its from an old warhammer fantasy comicthe comic is essential to understand malus darkblade and the novels also reference the events of the comic and said screaming god child
>>94641771>Titan terrain is any good?It's a bit expensive for what you get but the space and time saving a huge. Functionally it's perfectly fine for games.
I played a 2nd edition game recently with my nidders after a friend convinced me to play some.Some of the old nid biomorphs are insanity. I got a Hive Tyrant that saves on 2+, Invul save of 4+ that gets disabled 4" of a force field on a 4+ and a 2d6 roll that is greater than the strength of the attack it ignores the attack from wounding. Like holy shit, this boy was tanky (Until it got one shot by a vortex grenade, no wonder people were always iffy on that thing hearing about oldhammer).
>>94642052you must be that one autistic anon
>>94642078damn, am I really that obvious
Got a 1k game in today with my scions tonight. Ended up losing, but it was an insanely close game. Lost by 3 points. I could have played cleaner, but I had the bloodlust and just wanted to inflict violence instead of scoring.
>>94641761>>Templates and ScatterNo thank you>>Force Organization ChartYes. The skew of heavy support and shit sucks. This edition is still too killy.>>Wargear (Armoury[sic])Yes and yes. This batch buy if awful and it makes it so kits are locking options.>>USRsIf anything, this. Rules with different names but the same effect or worse, 90% the same effect with different wording makes learning worse.>>Terrain and not Terrain™What does this mean? Terrain is the best it's been.>>Points Per ModelYes>>WS vs WS, I vs IWasn't my favorite but this era of turbo trading in the charge phase is so gamey it plays more like checkers with extra steps.>>FunWhile balance has been getting better, catering to the competitive scene was a mistake.>>9464194>>AVI miss it but would settle for dripping 6s always wound.>>FacingsI don't miss this. It really didnt matter much once you became good at the game.>>Firing arcsSee above, more annoying than tactical >>old deepstrike rules with true risks and randomnessMixed feelings here.

>>94641940>AVno>Facingsno>Firing arcsno>old deepstrike rules with true risks and randomnessyes but only because I want to be able to land drop pods on enemy units again
>>94642084Did you try the new detachment?
Too bad that the game got larger, personally favourite combat phase was the 2nd edition one which really felt like units slugging it out, but wouldn't work with 20x hormagaunts charging into 20x boyz and would take forever.
>>94642103I'm sure someone back then got tired of having to tell people "NOOO THE GAME CANT FIT IN THOSE ARMOR CAST EPIC MODELS"
>>94641761>templates and scatterNo>Force OrgMaybe>WargearMaybe>USRsWe sort of already have those again>TerrainEh>PPMyeah>WS vs WS, I vs IWS chart was god awful and never relevant for the vast majority of things and the only people who say it’s good are HH players who only do marines vs marines.

We had our annual Toys for Tots tournament today. Between 40k and Sigmar we raised over 600 toys for the kiddos!
>>94642124What's it like to have a cock so physically large that a woman is afraid to have it inside her anon?
>>94642113>We sort of already have those againProblem is that they already half assed it with many units, detachments and stratagems having the same abilities, just changing the keywords that it affects.
>>94642124my 1000 point list was 10 boys, a boss, and a mek inside a stompa. One deployment drop
>>94642124Hell yeah brother. Glad to see people using their hobbies to help their community.
>>94641805Cut the legs off, stick it on a khorne juggernaut body and make it a centaur

>>94642146
>>94642147first game of two was against one of my oldest friends and opponents. His black templars have been attacking me for about 25 years now
>>94642078>>94642082Its an interesting read anon. good to have info together in one place, even if I don't get the purpose of the wiki its on.
>>94642153a ton of tables today, I'll toss some pictures up
>>94642124Found the pedo
>>94642160I think we had 3 genestealer cult players, more than I've ever seen in person

>>94642168
>>94642146>>94642147good shit anonjut got my first competitive victory. i made a point today to focus entirely on secondaries since that was something that was new to me. my final round was a total roflstop. every single undefeated player today was using a grotmas detachment. and even the ones who went 2/1 mostly skewed grotmas. what does it mean?
>>94642157autist anon, basically theres a huge flame war within the powerscaling community with one side wanting some kind of authoritative structure and the other side not. the wiki is for the later and a friend of mine suggested I use it some four years ago
is there a way to pose the blood thrister to be hooves on the ground and not be carried by a little retarded flame.
Games bros, is it obvious when you're playing against someone who has gotten their entire army commission painted?
>>94642173they're new and people don't know how to fight against them?>>94642172>>94642136we also had some great live music going on in the store today!see >>5764443
>>94642078>>94642082M'boy got some models at least.
>>94642183I'm retarded https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1734844732784992.webm
>>94642177Yes, and I don't care. Just like when I play against grey plastic.
>>94642175>Power scaling anonsDo autsits really give a shit? A bunch of hack writers in many different shows have their villian of the week destroy galaxies or whole universes on a whim and they want a coherent power scaling for it?? Yog-sothoth and biblical god and shot on that level just win since they ARE all of creation and totally all powerful. What a waste of time
>>94642190
>>94642199
>>94642190How often do you see imperium armies vs each other? Last time I went to my lgs game night it was just that, pretty sure there was a 3v3 that consisted of all imperium armies
>>94642204
>>94642196I guess the easiest way to tell would be to ask them how they managed to get *inset effect here* on one of their models
>>94642198well for certian topics it does reframe entire stories like for comics you have stuff like darkseid and the presence whos status in the cosmic hierarchy vastly alter dozens of stories. for Warhammer, people will tell you loads of stuff like "they never talk about anything outside the galaxy" "there isn't a multiverse" "the warp is just galaxy sized" etc etc Then you will have dumbass redditors who when a mention of any of those pops up they write it off as an outlier and try to harass people who disagree
>>94642207a fair amount. not a ton of imps here today though>>94642209
>>94642212
I'm gonna say it. The twist tops were 1000x better than the current pots.
>>94642210It's very obvious just by looking at the models.
>>94642218No they fucking weren't were you even painting back then? These were the WORST by far my god never again
Getting shit commission painted just screams waacfag to me, it's probably the biggest component of the hobby
>>94642218current pots suck but these were AWFUL
>>94642226Me in the orange shirt
>>94642229Paintfag detected.
>>94642211>people will tell you loads of stuff like "they never talk about anything outside the galaxy" "there isn't a multiverse" "the warp is just galaxy sized"huh didn't know people had such wrong opinions about the Warp, It's always been an infinite dimension born of emotions.
>>94642233Never seen that used as an insult before, guess I see something new everyday
>>94642176You can combine a bloodthirster with skarbrand, they're completely cross-compatible. Pic related is my skardaddy, I gave him a bloodthirster head. The wings, arms and legs will also fit between the two kits
>>94642235yeah, people here also claim that chaos was supposed to be galactic back in INSERT OLD EDITION HERE but it was changed and so that change is bad and invalid
>>94642236You must be new here then.
>>94642245Dunno why people hate your green bases anon seeing them makes me feel really nostalgic
>>94642260The goblin green mandate was trash.
>>94642257About a year or so, thought it was unusual to use it as an insult. Each to their own I guess
>>94642266The best*. I loved being involved in this hobby in the early 2000s, granted the goblin green spam was more late 90s
anyone got a recomendation for fabric as a battle mat?
>>94641819My main problem with his model is that it seems to be hard to paint his face in such a way that conveys the "blank skull/gas mask with furnace glow" look instead of "old man wearing swimming goggles"
>>94642326big felt sheets are cheap
>>94642217real fun day. Merry Christmas you filthy animals!
>>94641940Fuck. I don't know how I missed those. Must have gone off the board with my scatter roll. FUCK. Thank you, though. I want those back as well.
>>94642337 Hey, Mekboy, Why the hat and scarf for the Gargant?

Member how scary it was to face a model of WS 7 or higher?
>>946423260.2mm chlorinated latex sheet
>>94642337>>94642360soul
>>94642364my first army was eldar and the avatar was pretty terrible....but it did have WS 10, which was cool.I remember the old DE Archon had BS 8 or something so he hit ranged attacks on a 2+ and got to try again on a 4+ if he missed
>>94642364No, because unlike the BS table, it was not possible to have a better WS than a 3+, and not possible to have a worse WS than a 5+.
>>94642364Like any of these newfaggots played a good edition of 40k. Come on, anon. They'd rather cry about shit that some tourneyfag cried about once on a forum and they just kept repeating until it became "truth."
>>94642389you've never played any edition
>>94642373>>94642382It was in 2nd edition since you added your WS to your combat score, which could get nutty. To put it into perspective, a Hive Tyrant who charged with his 6 attacks and got one 6 could have a combat score of 17 while a marine with his WS of 4 and 1 attack (2 if he had a chainsword and bolt pistol) landing one 6 would result in a combat score of 10. Keep in mind, the difference between the combat scores is how many hits landed and the winner gets to roll wound rolls for. Now, it gets trickier in hordes since each subsequent combat phase they get +1 a and +1 to their combat score which could overpower the beast.
>>94642411>2nd edAlright grandpa, let’s get you back to bed.
Why the FUCK would they bring a average, normal Psyker with them over a Librarian?
>>94642434All Librarians were busy/ not in system. Creators wanted a literal mysterybox for the advertising and to keep the amazon lemmings watching
>>94642434Because it was a suicide mission and librarians are rare. there are several times more lieutenants and vets than librarians in a chapter.
>>94642382incorrect, WS went from 1-10.
>>94642449I think he was saying it was mostly worthless since you can't modify it to below 3+ and above 5+ but that's still not showing the whole picture since Hitting on 3+ against most standard infantry is not bad.
>>94642186>green base rims
Wip on some lads. Doing some base coating right now. What you painting on anons?
>>94641771>if she smokes she pokes.jpeg
>>94642434I dunno ask /tv/
>>94642499I came home drunk last night and tried to keep working on this, think I'm going to have to use some heavy drybrushing on it to really bring out the metallics on it
>>94642245>>94642260i still rock my old csm army with the goblin green bases
>>94642536I think it's just the contrast between a spooky army and those bases that must put people off, particularly newer players
>>94642260I would imagine that the people who dislike it don't have nostalgia for it because they weren't playing back then
Is there in-universe reason given for why the Salamanders seemingly had no official successors before Primaris? Or is that just because GW never bothered to come up with any back in the day
>>94642559they're one of the shattered legions alongside the ravenguard and iron hands, they got decimated early in the horus heresy and struggled to regain their strength, so less marines to split up into second founding chapters
>>94641761You should play horus heresy or another old edition with your friends. Noone wants any of this trash anymore
>>94642550i should probably glue some flowers to the bases, just to make it extra weird
>>94641761No idea why they scrapped the WS table, surely being able to hit your enemy in close combat is dependent on how good they are at it. Pretty sure in aos they scrapped the wound table too which is just retarded
>>94642589AoS flat wounding makes as much sense as the idiotic SvT
>>94642580>TrashI get not liking those things, but to outright call it trash is as idiotic as those who say that nu-hammer has no redeeming qualities.
naw it's rubbish
>>94642559They had official successors
>>94642449I mean what >>94642458 said, but also that while BS10 means you rolled at a 2+/2+, WS10 just means you hit at 3+ versus anything but WS10. The disparity in WS versus BS was just funny to me, and I’ve repeatedly come across people defending the WS chart thinking that it was equal to the BS chart.
Have you taken the tub of random shit pill yet?
What army do you think they'd play?
>>94642715Guard, kitbashed heavily from fantasy battle's human empire
Templates when there was no partial coverage or "under the hole" rules = Usually a fun time.Templates with those rules in play = Arguments galore.
>>94642715All resin eldar with lots of FW and they're in the US. Every turn is a story about how eldar always get shafted
>>94642713i find it cool when representations of objects in miniatures/terrain are made of the actual object in questionalso every light you see on a screen is a real light that consumes real electricity

>kids would like to have Warhammer because their classmates talked about it in school>bit late to get additional christmas gift but let's see what "Santa" can do>store has a few big warhammer boxes and the shop assistant says they are really good start for beginners and are cheaper than buying individual modelsIf you were 13, would Valuestrike Lance and Retailiation Cadre, plus the paints and tools set, make you happy? The shop assistant said there are no specifically girl armies, and all kids like to play with everything, especially with space marines (but those boxes already sold out). It's within Santa's budget, on the other hand, I have never seen them play with robots.
>>94637723I wonder if there's less necrons players now because they're not the 10e starter?Maybe nids have gone up?
Can someone anon more versed on lore explain to me why Khorne hates psykers? I read that somewhere that it's considered "unfair" because it's not "your" strength but by that logic shouldn't you never use guns? Hell, even an axe is a tool. Also, why the fuck should Khorne care about what's fair anyway? Isn't he the god of hate and murder, who "cares not from where the blood flows, only that it flows"? It just doesn't make sense to me.
>>94642896dude, just get them some assault intercessors or something. I dont think they are going to be able to look at the sprues without being intimidated. Hell they might appreciate a joytoy instead.
>>94642901Khorne likes psykers that bind daemons into weapons, psykers that go into front lines and use biomancy to buff their bulging muscles to squish skulls. Khorne doesn't like psykers that take power from warp, power that isn't psyker's own, and shots fireballs from save distance, Such psyker is COWARD.
>>94642896>>kidsHow many are you buying for? Consider getting one of the starter setshttps://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/warhammer-40000-ultimate-starter-set-2023-eng?queryID=4bdf6edfbd915ad09d7c604bea225fe6This plus the paint/tools set will give them everything they need to start playing
>>94642218>I'M GONNA SAY IT, I'M GONNA CUM
>>94642901Khorne is fine with guns because they’re man made and therefore a sign of your mental strength. Psykers are bad because their power comes from the warp and is therefore inherently not theirs.
>>94642914Dont>>94642218Did the screw top paints have the classic goblin green? My mum for some reason has kept onto all of my old warhammer shit so I've probably got at least 2 pots somewhere, albeit very dried out

>>94642218white caps were the best
>>946429132... and thanks for the idea, they have this one too. The starter set looks like it has some creepy monsters, they will like that. >>94642910You are probably right, those boxes are probably more advanced than the shop assistant claims? I will go with the starter box anon suggested - hell, if it says starter box on the package, it is something even I could understand.Thanks anons, and merry Christmas.
>>94642913holy fuck you are just as bad as the dude who is trying the illiterate fuck. I swear there are genuine GW shills in this thread.
How do you do weathering on red and black armor? While brown on red is pretty ok it is almost invisible on black
>>94642942Have you tried doing chipping stuff with hair spray?
1d6 is down
>>94642952No I'm at my first steps of trying weathering and am deathly afraid to mess up
>>94642847what is he supposed to do?
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94642715orks and orks
I will paint a model today. Maybe even two.
>>94642956I'd suggest experimenting with some cheap models you don't care about and shit. Chip weathering with spray paint is great once you get used to it.
>>94642955Imagine lying on the internet
>>94642993 (Me)>spray paintMeant hair spray
>>94642967Why would they refresh a faction nobody plays?
>>94643001No one played sisters before their refresh
>>94643008True but people like whores and imperial armies. No one actually likes dark eldar. The few times they've been popular was only because of op rules. The faction just has an unappealing aesthetic, colours and boring fluff. Sad but true. People may like Lilith but you can't carry a faction like DE with one coomer character alone. Just face it, it's over.
>>94642713This is my favorite way of basing.
>>94642715If they're friendly geese probably orks. If they're nasty cunts then probably unpainted meta lists
>>94642942Chip with a light grey or a pastel
>>94643016>The faction just has an unappealing aestheticUntrue.Everyone recognises it's one of the best ranges realised and easily represented the peak of that period in terms of an army's redesign and plastic kit design, arguably also still unparalleled since the philosophy for kits moved away from the same level of modularity.It is true that their fluff is unappealing because it's excessively edgy (inb4, that's a feature!) but that never really stopped other armies from being played, and with the ever present attempt to consider dark eldar and craftworld eldar a super faction, with harlequins, corsairs and ynnari in between, it is also perfectly viable to fluff /your dudes/ as less cartoonishly edgy and more practical minded pirates or dicks.The limited range (why pick deldar when you can pick eldar) and the inconsistency in rules quality (being a glass cannon army means that you're either OP or UP, never with a comfortable middle ground, and op rules are brought down faster than up rules are brought up), must be the greatest contributing factor to a perceived unpopularity.
>>94643044Plus it's just hard to sell an army to people when one third of it is in finecast resin, another third is out of print, and the remaining third is almost old enough to vote.
>>94643044Wow im not reading all that. Still, I wonder why we barely see any DE models here. Competently painted ones are like a unicorn too.
>>94642967I still don't understand why GW wasted a spot for a large dark eldar plastic kit on a second plane.wouldn't a bigger boat be better received? perhaps the dias of destruction? or maybe a large flesh-creation of the covens? why a second plane?
>>94643054>one third of itit's 3 units and 1 character, dude, stop with that bullshit just because you count every single model in the court or in the beastmaster's squad as a different unit.
>>94643054>they're old!and yet they've barely agedwhile other armies have kits released pretty much yesterday that feel 20 years old already
>>94643058I don't really have all that much interest in deldar but always thought their planes were some of the coolest stuff in their range
>>94643055I don't post mine many of times because I know exactly that I am not a competent painter (I think I started these guys as my second ever models for Dark Eldar back when I got them as my second full army ever).GW just keeps breaking my balls when doing them. Can't even have a Lilith+Wych mini-party boat anymore on the venom because they come in a min squad size of 10 now.
>>94643077>necrons have a grim reaper>nurglites have a grim reaper>harlequins have a grim reaper>craftworld eldar have a grim reaper>dark eldar don't have a grim reaperkinda fucked up when you think about it
>>94643055There's lots of amateur DEldar painters here. There's just not much reason for people to post new projects because Dark Eldar never get anything new.Here's my new Mandrakes for the hundredth time though.
>>94643068>pretty much yesterday that feel 20 years old alreadyAny specific examples?
>>94642967based finding more niche deldar things to post>>94643058someone at GW at the time had a fetish for sleek jet planes, dark eldar being the least popular army means its easier to get your ideas through and made
>>94643118>lots of DE paintersSorry must have missed you all because of all the SM, orks and CSM posters. C'mon there is like 3 and a half of you get real.
>>94643092If there is ever a mandrake character, it should be the DEldar reaper.
>>94643058GW was really forcing flyers at the time
>>94643125There may not be a ton but I remember a few that stood out to me>Dude with the bone white eldar>The one with a good purple and blue scheme, reminding me somewhat of the Covenant from Halo.
>>94643092The Grim Reaper as a symbol of death has an inherent peacefulness aspect to him. Death has an inherent aspect of release from pain suffering and your worries. There is no release or peacefulness when you fall into the hands of the dark eldar
>>94643126Nah a Mandrake character would be this guy
Just bought RT, what am I in for?
>>94643141Bugs and crappy waifus.
>Read up on RT lore>Squigs were Orkz transformed by the tyranids to serve them before the orkz recognized the squigs as their brothers and integrated them back into the forces of the boyzThe fuck were these nerds smoking back then? It is also fascinating though to see what has stuck around from that initial world building period of 40k.
>>94643147there lots of great stuff in there. Eldar mercs that are feared by all since they can fight for anyone who can afford them, navigators that get trained to be assassins, jokaero seem far more common since they make all the digital weapons that are not uncommon for all the important people in the Imperium
>>94643130Also the guy here with the Vorgani Kabal kitbashed with GSC
>tfw there are more people that paint their orks blue in the general than players of your faction globally
>>94643151There is something quaint about RT-era 40k lore, awkward stage of figuring shit out but just using it to reference <insert sci-fi thing here> and an excuse to have this weird mish mash war game with RPG elements. It's great.
>>94643119sanguinary guard, coteaz
>>94643055>Still, I wonder why we barely see any DE models hereI got somehave a bunch of covens too, but I like the kabal more
>>94643164>than players of your faction globallyTake comfort in that there are probably more players than Severan Dominate fans. I'm one of those fans
>>94643164>tfw there are more people that paint their orks blue in the general than players of your faction globallyblue orks too strong
>>94643147>The fuck were these nerds smoking back then?Lore is written for the modelsthe models looked like squigs because they were reusing some of the models/designs of squigs, but wanted nids to have some swarm unit, so they linked them up
>>94642967Is't the spiky butthole (first picture, fifth row) just world eaters logo?
>>94643133Somewhat of a superficial cope.
>>94643141lots of text, a few ways to break the game (though some may have been patched), okay levels of choicesome of the endings are a bit eh to me but it was fun overall
>>94643187There is like one guy, probably you desu, who cares about severan dominate and brings them up whenever he can. He's only made one (1) model though so how big of a fan can he be really? Personally I blame lead in the water causing this autism.
>>94642411A ruleset where it takes 20 minutes to resolve a single fight is a bad ruleset.
>>94643164There's a few goff bros in these generals but they rarely post, you'd be lucky to see them post once every few months
>>94643216It made more sense with the size of battles people played back then.
>>94643062In his defense, they were seperate units as recently as last edition and were sold that way as well until they all got consolidated this edition.
I like how there are very clear reasons why a lot of things changed rules wise but people struggle to understand whyAV and facings being gone is a consequence of Monsters existing, who would otherwise completely outclass vehicles. You'd also render every vehicle almost completely useless in melee, and the game would become infinitely more swingy instead of tactical.
>>94643210>He's only made one (1) model though so how big of a fan can he be really?I think its impressive that a shitposter made a model at all.If I recall correctly he's only painted one model, but he seems to have assembled two models.If I also recall again correctly he bailed on his project due to losing motivation due to GW killing the Kill Team Compendium for this edition.I swear more people talk about the Severan Dominate fanboy than he talks about the Severan Dominate now.I mean someone wrote this on the guy: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/94553781/#q94554002Anyways I cracked and got the FFG 40kRPG books just to read about the Dominate and I see their appeal. Which is just their storytelling potential, Roman aesthetics, and the idea of a renegade human secessionist state in the Imperium being pretty cool.
>>946432162e points values were higher, armies were much smaller
>>94643221>Blades for Hire troops>Fast Attack Kabal>Heavy support Wyches and blades for hire>Coven flyerCould b neat
>>94643221>Wych cult Venom>Can't use it anymore because min size of 10 on the wyches that could use itReeee.
>>94643238But Wyches get split automatically into two units of 5 when you put them in a venom. It has rules specifically for it
>>94643259... shit you're right, I even used it when skysplinter got used more.I dunno why I forgot it, I think it is the marine brain getting to me since I've been playing more Dark Angels and Raven Guard than my Deldar.

>>94643281>hate to say it because he's a genuinely nice dude but blue orks anon, every thread there are blue orks in itat least he's making progress with posting new ones regularly, unlike me posting the same ones all the time
>>94643288that's true, it's not the same models at least. he paints a shitload it's actually crazy how much he gets through
>>94643210>>94643223I was not expecting to be talked about here when I was just checking in. Yes it is true I've only painted up one model. I've been disheartened at the loss of the Kill Team compendium and shelved the SevDom project for a resin Death Korps proxy Kill Team project instead.I also wanted to tone down my posting about the Severan Dominate when I was gaining some infamy. I realized I may have become a bit of a shitposter like the more annoying ones and wanted to put a lid on such behavior. I'm sorry if I was more of an annoyance than anything else around here. Anyhow another reason I have not really made many Severan Dominate models is because I've been disappointed in how my Severan Dominate painted model looks. It isn't the paintjob. It is more my selection of bits that disappointed me. I felt that the model looked "too historical" and needed a bit more of a sci-fi flavor than just being a Roman soldier with a laser rifle. I know this is 40k but those are my tastes. I wanted to make an MRM order of Roman Helms, Roman legs, and generic flak armour chest, and generic fatigue arms for a new proper batch of SevDom miniatures. Mostly because if I needed Anvil Industry bits the fatigue arms would look very similar enough. Genuinely asking here. Have I become like the annoying shitposters and schizophrenics that habit /40kg/? If true then I'm genuinely sorry that I've become part of the problem.>>94643266>And posted the same fucking model 100 times too many?I'm probably an honourable mention at least with how I used to post with my one painted sci-fi Roman Army guy.
>>94643281Blue ork anon posts new minis all the time though, I don't think that counts as spamming. He and Sally are also pretty much the only ones consistently posting games which easily makes them some of the best posters here

>>94642559>Is there in-universe reason given for why the Salamanders seemingly had no official successors before Primaris?Most of them died in the Dropsite Massacre, so they were never split up in the second founding.Compared to other gene-lineages they are comparatively slow to create new marines.In subsequent foundings they just weren't in demand like Ultramarines or Imperial Fists were.
