>>94644846TQ: Do Foam cutter counts as warhammer?
>old space marine aesthetic was cooler>old necron aesthetic was cooler>old tau aesthetic was cooler>old imperial guard aesthetic was coolerI think its time to admit that the aesthetic of 40k has changed and mostly for the worsechanged to make it more appealing to a broader audience because line must go up
>>94644898>old good new bad
>>94644898That's a lot of words for oldgoodnewbad
>>94644774Does it at least have rules for Eldar by way of Necromunda? To play a team of Eldar lost in the Underhive would be viable. But too many xenos/non-gang factions and you're just playing Shadow War: Armageddon.Not that that's a bad thing.
>world eater 30 terminators listwho tf has that many lying around
>>94644898What about the old space marine aesthetic was better exactly?What about the old necron aesthetic was better exactly? Other than the green tubes.What about the old imperial guard aesthetic was better exactly?Tau are basically unchanged aesthetically (for the worse imo), but I'll agree with you because it's a shame that the shoulder mounted railgun broadside is gone. That shit was rad.
>>94644924You don't like the sick underarm one like that one mech from gundam wing? I was converted my broadsides to be armed like that back when I was a kid.
>>94644937Some people liked Guncannon, anon; it's what the OG broadsides were based on.
>>94644846Post models and wipsHappy holidays!
>>94644898I do think chaos peaked with crimson slaughter. In 40k at least, lord knows Aos improved everything about chaos warriors.
>>94644953Yeah, but he's way less dank.
>>94644955
>>94644923The smartest way to play with world eaters was just proxying your csm army as world eaters and only buying the lord on jug and maybe angron.
>>94644955Fuck. I don't have any current 40k wips. Here are some heads I painted to practice recently. I want to touch up the hooded sister and paint up a model with a blue robe, but idk when I'll get around to it.
>>94644898Tau infantry are some of the best in the range yet. Crisis suits and broadsides are marginally lesser and hazard suits should never have been legends'd, that's it.
>>94644955My wip from last night, haven't gotten to the paint table yet today.
>>94645001That’s how I cut my heads too. Much easier to grip like this.
Is it a good idea to use miniatures as props for drawing practice? I want to draw the assembled and painted models of /mydudes/ but I'm unsure if it will look pretentious online.
>havent been able to paint for almost a week cause I have other shit to do ass soon as I get homeAgonyI thought christmas time was supposed to be relaxing
question from someone just starting. Out of curiosity, which edition had best custodes katahs?
>>94645086You mean you want to make art of your characters, or you want to literally draw the models.Both are based.
>>94645111The editions where custodes didn’t exist.
>>94645111The current ones are the best because they're the easiest to use.
>>94645117>You mean you want to make art of your characters,basically this.>both are basedThanks! I think I'll give it a shot after some drawing practice to see if I like it.
>>94644955Finishing building this guy’s squad today. Probably won’t get to start painting until after Christmas, though.
>>94644955Happy holidays! Nearly have my first 10 Sniggas done. I was too slow to claim the thread for Orks though, so the other Ork bros will have to post their models to make up for it.
What went wrong and how would you fix it?
>>94644924>What about the old space marine aesthetic was better exactly?NTA but, They had the baroque styling to them, and a lot of it was more akin to John Blanche vison of the universe which was just arguably better. Modern 40k tries to hard to be Tacticool and their armor looks to much like their sigmar line. On top of that, Units models are way to busy for being just regular troops. They have to much bullshit on their model that normally was only reserved for characters. When everone is unique looking, no one is. >NecrosOld crons did a better job at selling the idea of Mindless Zombie robots, again attributed to the above metnioned problem, troops are to fucking busy, and they are leaning way to hard into the Crazy green space energy alien bit >GuardAgain, troops are way to fucking busy. THe whole point of them is they are meant to be nameless and faceless soldiers, I odnt mind head swaps though, but outta all of them, guard probably is the least issues of them. Though their tank and their heavy weapons look kinda lame and way to much going on again. >TauHoneslty still fine.
>>94645186>what went wrong.It was not epic. >How to fix itBring back 40k epic.
>>94644955Eugh
I have decided to start getting into 40K.
>>94645186>what went wrongThey spent budget on a product that wasn't full scale 40k>how to fix itSpend the budget on 40k
>>94645256Okay
>>94645256You picked probably the worst fucking time to get into it, but welcome aboard i guess.>>94645258>Spend more on 40kNo.
>>94645267Thank you... FRIEND
My wife and our qt pet.
>>94645268>You picked probably the worst fucking time to get into it, but welcome aboard i guess.Why?
>>94645268price wise but it's no 7th gameplaywise
>>9464527810th is not really that great. Anyone who got into the hobby around 8th will say its fine but they legit have never experienced peak 40k and trust me, 10th is VERY not that great compared to what the game used to be. Basically GW is trying to make 40k a board game that pretends its a wargame, when in reality it used to be a wargame. >>94645279Price wise its dog shit, and rule wise its horse shit. Everything is milk toast bland and the same, unique nature of armies is stripped down to basically nothing all in GWs quest to "balance" the game. Also ill die on this hill, 7th PRE angels of death supplement was actually pretty fucking good. it was not the kino time of 4th ed and 3.5e rule books, but it was still good.
>>94645303>Milk toast
>>94645274This is me btw
>>94645256What army are you most interests in?
>>94645303>milk toast
>>94645363TauBlood AngelsKhorne
>>94645278Because salty whiners who’ve had to rebuy their army thanks to GW’s fairly anti-consumer policies want you to be as mad as they are. In all honesty it’s fine. The game has been simplified a lot and not necessarily for the better but if you’re new to things it makes it pretty easy for you to learn.
>>94645303You never played before or after 8th edition though
Why is the GW website so shit. Just bought the made to order terminators, but it the order ain't showing up in the order tab. Is this normal?
>>94645256Unironically go to a different place or sooner or later you will become as jaded as the average poster here. People here will literally go out of their way to find shit to be angry, salty or disappointed about. 40k minis are very nice(with some obvious hiccups) and the game is okay if you're not taking it too seriously.
>>94645256>>94645367Welcome to the hobby, don't let the spurgs here discourage you, it's in a really great place right now. Rules update frequently, models are the best they've ever been, and there's some really great narrative rule support in crusade games. Of the three you're picking, it seems you really like painting red (assuming you're playing the giga chad tau that is farsight enclaves.) From a rules perspective two out of three there are "go fast, hit hard, die gloriously" and the third is "use actual fucking tactics to win," so you've got a good spread there. If you have any questions, let us know newanon.
>>94645377Oh I won't be buying any models. I'm just gonna print my own.>>94645459I'm just gonna play it with my friend instead of GW store.
>>94645459Literally the only poster I’ve seen here who isn’t a bitter fuck is Sallyfag.
>>94645487steel legion fag isn'torange and tealfag isn'tblack legionfag isn'tmost/all of the blue orkfags aren't
Why doesn't Guilliman just blow up the Eldar and Tau while they're still weak?
>>94645499Because Nids and chaos.
>>94645487I'm scionfag and I'm not bitter.
>>94645499Bigger problems
>Want to get into 40K>Get hyped up, almost buy a combat patrol>Remember I don't know shit about painting models and don't want to have models that look like shit>Don't get into 40KWash, rinse, repeat for over a decade. What do? Is having a starter army that looks like ass just part of the experience?
>>94645516It would only take a small force to kill them, he could easily spare the troops.
>>94645519spearheads are better anyways.
>94645530Bait used to be believable. >>94645519Unironically ask for a demo model at your local store and just paint it a bunch of times until you have the basic techniques. Or just play necrons and do 0 work and have models that look amazing.
>>94645519You're most likely a faggot that can't get into anything that requires actual effort to get better at and doesn't provide instant gratification. You should return to /v/ where you obviously belong
>>94645519you can always dip a single test model in isopropyl until you get it right
>>94645532I mean yeah, they're for the better game. That said I hear rumors that we're getting a combat patrol 2nd edition this summer that makes it more like spearhead.
>>94645536Reminder that Cato Sicarius took on 1 million Tau soldiers all by himself. And won.
>>94645493I'm 100% sure at least some modelposters shitpost as well, they just don't attach their models to it.
>>94645499>EldarBecause he simps for Yvrainne. That and because while Eldar will happily sacrifice an entire imperial world to save a single life of their own, they don't go out of their way to do so.>T'auBecause they have a comically meager amount of worlds, and because while they're at odds with the imperium, they're at least open to diplomacy and cooperation.>both casesTyranids and Chaos both present existential threats to the entire galaxy, and are more or less every other faction's primary concerns. Except for orks, orks ain't picky, orks just want a proppa scrap.
>>94645212>They had the baroque styling to themOutside of like, SA I can't think of an equivalent unit that has notably more baroque styling, in fact primaris goes far further in this area some cases as you point out with your other criticism.>They have to much bullshit on their model that normally was only reserved for characters. Which directly opposes this criticism >it was more akin to John Blanche vison of the universe which was just arguably betterOkay you have to be waiting with this, old space marines didn't look any closer to branches works. >Old crons did a better job at selling the idea of Mindless Zombie robots, again attributed to the above metnioned problem, troops are to fucking busy, and they are leaning way to hard into the Crazy green space energy alien bitWhat about nucrons is busy???? New warriors are basically the same as they were before but with different weapons sculpts. Which lean LESS into the glowing green energy bit by removing all the green lightsabers.
>>94644992>no karne, 8B, or E8B
>>94645499He has an elf fetish
>>94645278Ignore him, it's a bad time for grogs but unironically is a great time to get into the game if have no experience with it as a result.
>>94645571Guilliman hates the Eldar and is planning on exterminating them.
>>94645487The only posters here who are bitter about it are the ones who come to post solely because they're bitter about it. Anyone who regularly posts about their actual armies and games is having a blast
My FLGS has the Kroot/T'au army box and the retaliation cadre battleforce staring me in the face. Do I do it?
>>94645594Do it. Coolest faction.
>>94645591>posts about their actual armies and gamesIt's really is a shame so much of it is lost in the endless stream of shitposting
>>94645578Why do Grogs hate it? Grogs being old players
>>94645625Because new is bad anon. That's how it always works.
>>94645610Why do you fucking virgins insist on posting off model coomer art?
>>94645634OH! Nevermind, they're right
>>94645644Coomer board, always has beenDon't like it? Leave
Think I could use toothpicks to emulate tule reeds on my mini base, or would it be too thick.
New combat patrol is going to have no characters joining units, and they're all lone op. That's why the most recent boxes have heroes that don't make sense. Also in the nid one they gaunts will get to be immune to hitting on 1-3 once they get reinforced
>>94645625Because they believe that mechanical complexity = good.They conveniently ignore the min/maxed tactical squads of 4E and the fact that 7E had lots of depth and mechanics to remember, and was total shit regardless.
Actually, I'm gonna make 2k of Iron Hands. They seem fun. I like Scotland.
>>94645715You dropped this
>>94644898>old tau aesthetic was coolerIdc about the others but this is plain wrong
>>94645715What does iron hands have to do with Scotland? >t. Lorelet
>>94645715>I like Scotland.Well that's a fucking lie. Nobody likes Scotland. It makes me think you're lying about the rest, too. Post 2000 points if dreads.
>>94645715I look forward to seeing them. Even if I dislike the subfaction. But that’s mostly on the banter level. I just beat the brakes off a guy running them in Vanguard detachment on Thursday. >>94645487You need to stop fellating me, I’m plenty bitter (never forget combiweapons and ppm)
>>94645736I like Scotland. I want to see the highlands of Scotland some day.
>>94645739PPM is shit and always will be.
>>94645736I love Scotland. It's too bad all the buildings look awful. Same as England. Everyone is also very nice. I plan on travelling there again soon.
>>94644846Who is the Ernest P. Worrell of the 40K universe?
Other than a palate swap, how has Tau's aesthetic changed? Fire Warriors look the same, kroot look the same, the tanks look the same. They just got larger battlesuits.
>>94644898>>old necron aesthetic was coolerYou sure about that? I'm definitely more for the canoptek spam and Martian striders than whatever the fuck this is, even if OLD=SOVL.
>>94644846Thought that said 'A MORON saves Christmas'. Then I realised I was right.
>>94645746Fuck you.
>>94645625The core rules are completely different, which will feel bad to anyone who isu sed to the old way
>>94645715Personally I don't like their scheme, so I'd advise on a successor chapter, but you do you?What's the plan for the prosthetics? plasticard, necron/admech parts, prints?
>>94645770THIN YOUR PUBES
>>94645770I mean, if you insist. Get over here.
>>94645735NTA but the old Index Astartes characterized them with a vaguely Gaelic flavor. But it's never been such a pronounced part of their fluff that it couldn't be completely ignored even by people who recognize the allusions to things like Scottish clans, the Ulster cycle, Airgetlám, and whatever else.
>>94645781No.
>>94645499>why don't we kill our sole allyYou'd fit right in in the Imperium.
>>94645746Why though? It makes list building much, much easier if you are under or over by a small amount.
>>94645816Because it encourages bullshit min-maxxing instead of just building your dudes how they look cool.
>>94645499Neither one is an existential threat.Chaos, Tyranids, and possibly Necrons are.
>>94645822What?Anon, that's points-costed equipment. Not points per model.
>>94645830All xeno filth is an existential threat to the Emperor's pure vision.
>>94645834PPM makes you min-max units. 4th ed mad that very clear with the number of 7 man space marine squads wandering around.
>>94645777I like these two. Sons of Medusa look & sound cool, but I also like the Knights of Byzantium's Kelpie looking thing.
>>94645822Anon, everything will be min-maxxed to shit no matter which way you go, that just happens in a hobby of sweaty nerds. In trying to fight it, they have made it harder to make fluffy unit sizes and made list building harder to boot since you can't swap a guy out or something with the points, you have to rework your whole list if you already burned through enhancements.
>>94645571How elfish of him.
>>94645871Anon, the fluffy unit size is what they sell in the box.
>>94645830>possibly NecronsNecrons definitely are, in two different flavors, no less. Team Imotekh wants to cure the galaxy of organic life, whereas team Szarekh wants to rule over the lesser races as a benevolent god... so he can use them as vessels to reverse biotransference. Of course, there are smaller dynasties who "just" want the organic kids to get off their lawn, but that's as wholesome as Necrons get. True, they do not want ask of the galaxy WHO WILL BE EATEN FIRST? like the Tyrands, or reduce it to a literal hellscape like the various powers of Chaos, but if those two threats become contained, make no mistake, the Necrons are very much cashing in the briefcase, so to speak.
>>94645790Thanks for clearing that up.
>>94645888I want my roaming squad of 8 zerkers without being punished by purchasing 10 of them damn it.
Necromunda's weekly mogging on 40k has arrived early because of the holidays i see.How can Votranny's ever recover from this one?
>>94645888No it isn't, marines don't operate in divisions of 5 and 10
>>94645912Death Guard pls go and stay go, the smell is unbareable.
>>94645919vanilla marines operate in groups of 3 or 100 with no in between

>>94645896Clearly gw puts its best teams in the AoS and specialist games department.
>>94645896>How can Votranny's ever recover from this one?from having more models at their disposal?

>>94645986I don’t even know what’s supposed to be wrong with the Khorne character
>>94646041sigmarines are the epitome of warcraft design by trying to apply the appeal of 40k design to a fantasy setting with retarded oversized weapons and giant orb pauldrons
>>94646025He reminds me of good ol' internet cringe from '09. And I mean that in an affectionate way.
>>94644071>>94644086>>94644111>>94644115I ran out to GW before it closed and grabbed some astrogranite and valhallan blizzard. Really liking the effect of blood on snow.
>>94646056The yapper
>>94646030>Nu 40k fan calling things WoWYou have no room to talk.
>>94646056I see. But wouldn’t space marines be Warcraft given that they have huge weapons and huge shoulder pads?
>>94646064I accept your concession>>94646065No, because the setting was made for those marines, warcraft ripped that aesthetic off then age of sigmar ripped off warcraft
>>94646059Do you remember GigaNigga?
>>94646072I remember reading that Warcraft started as a licensed warhammer game but gw bailed on the idea not sure if it is true or not.So with the ripping off we’re now in a vicious cycle of ripping off rip offs? Is there any way to fix this if this is true?
>>94646048what armies do you play/collect in 40k, out of curiosity?
>>94646079Only quads can stop him!
>>94646088There's two stories about thatthe one from the mouth of the guy who created warcraft stated they never were making a warhammer game but the earliest prototype build used pngs of warhammer models as sprites, and variable sources say that blizzard reached out to GW about making it a warhammer game but never got anywhere so they made warcraft 1
>>94646089CSM necrons and tau
I think I'm done with these. Next up is a Blade Guard squad with a Judiciar for that power sword rape aesthetic.
>>94646104Maybe whfb would still be alive had they gone for itFuckin james

>>94646060That looks great anon

>>94646188The swords were an experiment. They look better to the naked eye. And every gold surface is bathed in nuln oil.

>>94646263Bro but wolf and honor
Truck progress. The third one I fucked up and have to fix a bunch. Hope you're all having fun hobbying
>>94646293Anon please drill the barrels on those heavy bolters
>>94646199No, Pvt. John Gaardsmann of the Moebian 6th Regiment's 2nd Brigade is surely more recognizable in the mainstream.
>>94645896I honestly regret starting a leagues of votann army, I coped thinking that they were just doing the demiurg inspired stuff first and that a second wave with more old school squat models would come, but it seems that all the old school squat stuff is just going to negromunda. The only model in their core range that's even close to the original squats is the grimnyr, and even he has stupid tau drones he's forced to take.
>>94646265strategy games are too autistic for the kind of mainstream appeal that SM2 has.
>>94646299Agreed.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94646371Didn't they just get one or am I just old.
>>94646299I will at the end of the paint process.
>>94646341>tfw there was a time when rts games were really popularnow with vidya being mainstream anything going for wide appeal has to be capeshit garbage, truly grim
>>94646379They've gotten a new kit, but they have former metal still.
>>94646388If Dawn of War 3 wasn't absolute dog shit we'd have a chance of something too with 40k more popular than its ever been. Sad.
>>94646388>capeshitwhining faggot post, opinion disregarded
>>94646388RTS games were only popular with PC gamers because they were usually low specs so anyone with a family computer could play them, as soon as the bar to entry on consoles was lowered to the point that even poor kids could afford that generation's playstation or xbox people stopped caring and fps became the new hot genre, and PC became more about ever increasing specs and technical fidelity than ease of access. I have fond memories of playing age of empires 2 and dawn of war when I was young but if my family could have afforded a playstation or xbox I would have been playing that instead.
>>94646388Rts died because esports (and lan parties) diedTheres a few moba stragglers but its nowhere near its popularity on the 2010s
>>94646430>esports diedvalorant/CS/every major fighting game's events still are the top viewed streams on every platform
>>94646430mobas killed rts kinda, very few people could stand up to the gooks in starcraft and that kind of just killed the genre in the west, mobas were really the killing blow because they offered everything rts offered but with less hassle and a similar multiplayer experience. Hell you could probably track everything bad that's happened with gaming back to dota and esports, it's even managed to infect 40k too for that matter.
>>94646440Esports teams are rampant tax dodge schemes and money laundering enterprises. The moment someone blows the whistle on the first one, we'll see a topple effect in the industry. The only legitimate events are the ones operating as grand tournaments with large prize pools at the end. A literal handful pebbles thrown into a sea.
>>94645986>random wfb models>some fan favourites like cav marshal or hedonitesI realy hope it's a bait post, but by now i truely believe some people on this site are this retarded
I'm a malignant narcissist with megalomaniacal fantasies. What army should I collect?
>>94646561>frogposteropinion discarded
>>94646567blood angels or eldar
>>94646561Its either bait or mental retardation. Even the saltiest fantasy and 40k fans have to admit that AoS has hit it out the park with a majority of its models while 40k (at least Space Marines) is clearly getting the "They'll buy anything" treatment.
>>94646594>AoS has hit it out the park with a majority of its modelsNope, models like the new skaven/chaos warriors/mortarch are not the standardslop like cities of sigmar and darkoath marauders are
>>94646607Chaos/Death chads win again.
>>94646607Ah, the real problem is this anon is an incel who doesn't like female models.
94646629extremely low effort bait
>>94646320Well the Sixth does look dapper in that navy blue, can't argue with that.
>>94646607>whole factions aren't the standard, single kits are
>>94646646>whole factionsone faction90% of the slaves of chaos models are dogshit, chaos warriors are the standoutthe mortarch is not the entire faction, it's one modelno cities of shrigmar models look good, no darkoath models look goodcope and seethe smegmar troon
>>94646263At least they play something unlike your tourist ass
>>94646201-10vp
Sometimes when I feel lonely, I list something super popular like a redemptor dreadnought on facebook marketplace for like half off just so I can have people message me first so I can feel wanted.
>>94646117Yeesh
>>94645557Thank you for your patience in responding to braindead oldgoodnewbad posts
>>94646681this is bullshit but i believe it lol
>>94646644It's just a blue and gray cadian.
>>94646696you're blind
>>94644955Progress.
>>94646709Does Plastic Glue still work through the paint when attaching the heads? Or do you use something else if you do sub assemblies?
>>94646719nta but just scrape the paint off the contact points
94646639Incel confirmed
>>94646719>>94646723Nta but just use super glue
>>94646719It will dissolve the small amount that is there in a few seconds and it will be stuck just as fast. Or scrape it a little if any trouble.
>>94646681Ngmi
>>94646686How about some feedback, anon?
>>94646719Yes it does.
>>94646709How did you make them look worse in one easy step
>>94646117The judiciar is one of my favourite models. Diet Coke chaplain is a good aesthetic.
>>94646263There's like 2 of us I think
>>94646745Unbased=unfinished=worthless
>>94646755Think Leman is gonna be a werewolf in power armour? But like The Wolfman, that’s still mostly just a hairy faced guy.
>>94646709Why is everything so flat
>>94646723>>94646739>>94646750I see, will probably have to get better at application, will maybe try on my next batch of models.
When are they showing off the hot new plastic Lucius the Eternal model?
>>94646767your computer screen is 2d
>>94646754I like the look, and the Fights First ability is ace
>>94646795Christmas Day. Along with more EC models.
>>94645986>TWW secondary instantly outs xerself as a tasteletlollmao
>>94644955I had the pleasure of delivering my christmas-model-swap gift to my best friend the other day. I made him a mortifier for his Sisters. Is it going down in a blaze of glory? Has the sister inside achieved a miracle and found redemption? I tried to leave it vague. He decided she's a new saint in the making, which I really like, given the wings of fire I gave her.
>>94646795lucius is getting squatted for a champion that isn't an embarrassing loser
>>94646764I genuinely hope Russ is “normal” and just has a Wolf Head Helmet option.
>>94644898>eldar aesthetic is unchanged, new models are universally praisedFunny how that works.
>>94646764I'm expecting an old wizened Russ who has experienced 100,000+ years in the warp and is now and old Odin type who can wield magic on par with Magnus because he defeated Cegorach in a rap battle and accessed the Black Library.And also broke into Nurgle's garden to retrieve the seed of the Tree of Life and while he was there he freed Isha, so now he has an elf goddess to be his Frigga.
>>94646808I accept your concession
>>94646824You won't find any such champions in the third legion.
>>94646838>no argument>admitting you're a TWW secondaryLOLI accept your concession, /v/tard.
>>94646831he's been in the warp for like 9k years, he's gonna be a freak if he ever returns
>>94646822this looks nice but I'd like to see a picture in a more neutral light
>>94646849uh oh sigsissy melty
>>94646822Good stuff. >>94646831>>94646835One eyed wolf mask.
>>94646764I think GW is going to slow down in the furry department with all the backlash they faced over the MK6 helmets. I hope they make an old-man Russ with his spear and a six-legged wolf à la Sleipnir
>>94646858Uh oh, melty melty melty
>>94646864the backlash over those MKVI helmets was all from tourists who didn't realize that's been the space yiff aesthetic for decades
>>94646709Keep it up. I look forward to seeing them done.
>>94646764Multiple head choices seems to be the new norm. Most likely a normal one, a helmet and a unique one.
>>94646852I know Corvus changed due to Warp exposure, but unless they decide to go bold with the narrative of Russ’s return as being something different, the Space Wolves are the perfect chapter for special lore of how the Fenris god protected them.
>>94646871They were really bad, I like some wolf helmets here and there tho
>>94644898Tau has never been cool but you're pretty much right on the rest
>>94646653Bro your chosen? Your knights? The ogroids? Abraxia? I can go on.
>>94646857Yeah I fucked up and didn't take a well-lit pic after applying the oil wash but before gifting it. I took this one when I was finishing up the base colors before the oil wash. I'll be seeing him and playing games next week, so I'll get a good pic then.
>>94646920That's fucking tight as shit, Anon. Absolutely metal as fuck.
>>94646653>90% of the slaves of chaos models are dogshitThe GS is perfect, though.
>>94646871>"30k SW are better because not all wolfy like retarded 40k SW">get a pack of 10 wolf helmets while 40k SW have, what, total of 2 wolf helmets across all their kits (one in the grey hunter pack, one in the upgrade pack)>noticing this fact makes you a touristJames' not gonna fuck you, retardo.
Just opened up the box of Blad Guard. There are 8 power sword options for a squad of 3 guys. I guess I'll kit out some tactical marines with power swords.
>>94646920Fuckin rad anon. How'd you do the flame wreath? I wanna do something similar with my Tsons contemptor for 30k
>>94646936post your models, tourist
They're Bladeguard Veterans. Veteran guards of blades.
>>94646920this is cool as fuck anon, nice job
>>94646944https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efFkzxZYpl8
>>94646961>yiff larper is a nomodels touristlol
>>94646831he's either going to be wulfen russ or odin russmaybe 6 years ago he would have been designed as wulfen russ, but I'm confident they're toning down the wolves
>its another retarded fantasy grog gets lost on his way to his favourite thread on the board /aosg/
>>94646833
>>94646980I have a feeling someone at gw is still drinking the subvert expectations kool aid and Russ will appeal to no one. Hopefully he at least has a helmet option.
>>94647037Magnus Mortarion Lion and Angron were all what everyone expected
>>94647025I can't believe they somehow stuck the landing after so long. I mean they didn't just get the last issue out, they actually delivered something good. I don't expect stuff like that to happen when good things get follow-ups after a seven year hiatus.
>>94647052Alright you got me there.
>>94646871>>94646864I still want GW to release some plastic wolf skull helmets like the ones for the HH Deathsworn.
>>94646833yeah it was wild I even tried to get this thread to pretend the new avatar of khaine sucked and no one latched on to the contrarianism
>>94647064just proont some, the deathsworn helmets suck but there are really good proxy heads for them
>>94647064racoon skull*
>>94647064>all they do is swap them to the new MkIII>and double the print lines on each piece
>>94647052Snek Fulgrim as as beautiful as could be expected. What can they do to update him for his plastic 40k kit. Because we all know GW can't expect 40kids to use resin these days.
>>94647073I forgot about that lmaono skull ridge = coon confirmed
>>94646117I think the Victrix Honor Guard should be their own kit since they protect Gulliman too (in the lore) Would also allow them to release a new Cato Sicarius too.
>>94647079I actually dont like 40k fulgrim, he's resin derpy i.e so over detailed you know he has to be resin
Scion progress. First time I've been this excited since we got souped. I'm shooting to get this full 1k list painted by new years. Wish me luck.
>>94647079This wouldn’t be fun to transport. Also I’m expecting fulgrim to get the morathi treatment.
>>94647125It's also made out of forgeworld's dogshit material so if somebody's shirt caught one of the wings the whole piece will snap apart
>>94647134the tail is going to consistently look terrible some 2 years from now
>>94647079Probably a different pose. If they wanna be bold maybe make him even more monstrous by still keep his face.
>>94645268That’s 7th ed as the worst time.
>>94647134The wings will likely warp under their own weight even if left alone.
>>94646915Tau was cool when they were Fire Warriors and auxiliaries with battlesuits as a super elite, bespoke frame to customize i.e. 4e/Taros list. Once we entered retard gundam phase with the Riptide it was all over.
>>94646199Probably not, but I will die on this hill: Governor-Militant Lukas Alexander is the runner-up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84ZbXK1xY_4
>>94647167I will forever hate that he gets mogged by Tau in the Soulstorm intro. I don't care if the canonical winners were the Blood Ravens, Lukus Alexander controls Kronos.
>>94646199Boreale.>>94646254Pleb.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJMLfACod48Runner up, METAL BAWKSES!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO3MttgvHUY
>>94646199Gabriel Motherfucking Angelos.
>>94646201Well to be fair, in AoS my Idoneth basing always makes sense on account of they bring the ocean floor with them, but in general I try to keep my bases more or less setting agnostic.
>>94647079nobody cares about fulgrim.
>>94647194Davian Thule would have been in the conversation for best DoW character (alongside Angelos and Alexander) but then Taldeer hit him with that burn and every black guy in the galaxy started aping out and he never really recovered from it.>>94647178Lukas deserved better.
Guard bros, how're you holding up?
>>94647059After this I trust Pinkerton and Wolpaw to deliver every time>>94647216I want to hold them titties up if you know what I mean
>>94647216Well I found a good place to get Steel Legion recasts and some neat third party russes to use so I'm doing well.
Let's not forget, /tg/'s most enduring OC Donut Steel character got her start based on the dialogue from DoW.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JrtFazaS7g
>>94647225Mossa been drawing her a lot lately. I have mixed feelings about this.
>>94647216My huge scion army has some play now. So I'm hyped as fuck. It's better if I take bitch guard units, but fuck that. 0 bitch guard allowed.
>>94646199>>94647225
>>94647229He's done a couple cute ones.But his style is so... ugly so often and when cutesy Cultist-chan comes on the heels of him doing Guard girls getting torn apart and eaten by orks, it is very mixed feelings.
>>94646938They tend to have options for style and posing.
>>94647225>/tg/'s most enduring OC Donut Steel characterher days are long gonegetting her corpse paraded around by porn artists on twitter isn't going to change that
>>94647252whatever you say, election tourist
