>>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

>>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
>>94646929>>94646960Thanks! Really proud of it, I feel like I nailed it. >>94646942All of the flames are pieces from a Nighthaunt Spirit Host kit, from age of sigmar, they're perfect for looking like spooky flames. I bought them explicitly for this model (same with the BT kit I got the skeleton from, but I'm using those spare parts for other kitbashes)
>>94647235Reminds me of the good old days of 40k high school.I'mma just pretend this was lil' scout Titus back then.
>>94647216Eh codex is right around the corner, so I am basically just rolling with it and working on stuff for fun while I wait. Always more I could be printing.
>>94647259I'm glad he got over their breakup.
>>94647252you weren't even aware of this site's existence when she was first being posted here
>>94647253I didn't pay for a ticket, so shut your projector, retard.
>>94646199perhaps not more iconic than Titus himself, that one Khorne-possessed Fire Warrior should be in top 3

>>94647317Seek medication
>>94647325I said WITHOUT crying, bitchboy
>>94647327>Already have four armiesNo you dont
>>94647335Post armies
>>94647285I agree, his models are ass, I can't wait to see them reposted every thread for the next 6 months in the same state of "progress"perhaps we should start making threads at page 4 so he gets to post them in more threads per day, wouldn't that be fun?
>>94647317imagine being this deranged
>>94647343I don't need to I'm not the one claiming I have 4 that for some reason can't be posted kek
>>94647324Horses are shit

>>94647373The only poster more schizophrenic than edgecoc
>>94647376solution: steal the army off someone's else porch
>>94644898RealLook at>>94647067New avatar does suck compared to the FW one, but the options are cool I guess?
>>94647324I’m not sure if it’s the nuGW sculpts or the changing studio paint style, but they look too cartoony. DKOK from FW was cool because of the pseudo historical sculpting and paint style. I don’t think it works as well this way.
>>94646709I see you've increased the amount of excrement brown paint to your red formula.
>>94647052>Magnus, Mortarion and Angron were all what everyone expectedNo?
>>94647352Neither am I. I'm telling you to post armies but I'm NTA.
>>94647376You don't need to store your army on your porch anon, you can bring it inside once you've primed it
>>94647397>nta>asking to post minis without posting his firstMentalI'm nta too btw
>>94647415Post army
>>94647397Then I have even less reason to post my army if you're just an unrelated tourist
>>94644955Imagine unironically paypigging for blood angels in this edition.
>>94646835Leman coming back as an eldar weaboo from studying in the black library and meeting Cegorach could be cool. Reflecting the irl vikings conversion to christianity from paganism. Subverts the meme of Gulliman having an eldar gf when Leman is actually rolling around with harlequins and has the same view of humanity as they do. We know Leman doesn;t view the Emperor as a god would be funny if he comes back spouting his dedication to an eldar god and how the Imperium would deal with that heresy. It would be a laugh
>>94647419What argument were you losing?
>>94647324>What killed the hype?Was there any to begin with?
>>94647373There's no way this isn't totally on the nose given it sees a response calling the poster a schizo within a minute of mentioning it lmao
>>94647428lame
>edgecoc posts his badly basecoated models>Gets 16 replies low effort shitting on them from phoneposters even with worst models postedNot suspicious at all, stop samefag shitting on your models for sympathy bait
>>94647324Horses are lame in a scifi setting and I am tired of pretending they are not. If this had a new vehicle (like an updated tauros) and was catachan or cadian based a lot more people would be excited.
>>94644955What the fuck lmao
>>94647441>I-Im right because people pointed out that these words are the most commonly used responses on the entire siteCope, phoneposter
>>94647420I'm not a tourist. I'm speedpaintanon. Post. Armies.
>>94647373No shit, you're posting in edgecoc prime hours.He's already got the next early thread ready and he's itching to click post, so he's extra agitated, imagine the seethe if someone were to beat him to the punch!
>>94647443you get that or him being a wolf like chaos spawn (think the Thing in the Kennel) who failed to find the tree of life
Oh do fuck off with the personality posting
>>94647428Cringe, and Lukas is probably the one space marine Cegorath likes the most
>>94647453custodes aren't an army
>>94647448I wouldve liked bikers that look like the GSC bikers
>>94647448No one would be exited by that, thougever. There's already a new plastic Tauros and I bet you didn't even know that.
>94647463Tourist status confirmed
>>94647452You mean cope harder right? At least remember your catchphrases
>>94647452Weird how you worded this excuse in the same exact way as it was done last time.Almost as if it's hitting the same poster...
>>94647462>>94647443Vikings are pretty lame, eldar fanboy leman would be the most interesting thing they could do to his character. Odin Leman thats just Leman with one eye and white hair is pretty boring since he wouldn't be any different to what he was, aside from vague psyker powers like what the lion has now
>>94647480You're so desperate for your schizoid delusions to be true lmao
>>94647484Eldar are literally the lamest thing in the setting
>>94647469I knew there was one for necromunda, but they would need to at least put in an cadian sprue at the least when they reboxed it. We are going to have four new horse units in two years but only two vehicle kits, that is pretty lame.
>>94647485Anon was right >>94647441, schizo accusations within the minute, astounding.
>>94647493Votann exist now
>>94646201Clear bases are shit. It doesn't look like they're standing on the table, it looks like they're standing on shitty clear acrylic slabs, and as you play games with them, the acrylic will inevitably scratch and look worse. If you make any mistakes when gluing models down, the marks from the glue will forever look like shit. And it makes it impossible to magnetize your models for transport.
>>94647493Votann
>>94647467Bikers would have been cool too, they should have always been bikers with a jeep like vehicle instead of the characters on horses.
>>94647500>I'm not a schizo for imagining patterns where they don't exist, I KNOW my schizo delusions are real!!!lol
>>94647485>>94647493
>>94647513Cry harder.
>>94647523That's all you've been doing today, yes
>94647527meant for >94647513
>>94647500lmao
>>94647290What is more likely, that an individual poster has a personal crusade against you at all hours of the day, or maybe you aren't as good at painting as you think you are
>>94647555Yeah you're right nobody else getting this level of response for their shitty WIPs is very organic
>>94644924Chiming in late. Genuinely, it was the variety afforded internally to a single squad of marines. You could have minor variance of the helmet, legs, torso, pack and shoulder pads of a standard mk7 marine. That doesn't even account for other armour marks too. A standard primaris squad is fundamentally to samey, with the biggest crime being the stadnardised torso decoration. More variety on that alone would go a long way to quell the sanitised look of primaris. The new sternguard and company heroes prove how much it aids the overall appearance by having that minor variation.
>>94647561Or maybe multiple people are insulting you specifically for the shitshow the threads have become with your shitposting.
Please, something always confused me, how the hell are the Tau still alive?I mean the Eldar and Dark Eldar have superior tech and psychic bull shit and they even fuse the two together, the humans have all sorts of crap including the emperor and iron will, the Orks are the Orks, the Nids can assimilate and evolve and have numbers, the Leagues have great tech and warp incognito biology, the Necrons have the best tech and anti warp toys, and Chaos has all sort of demonic tomfuckery.So what do these blue aliens have exactly and I am being completely genuine since they don't seem to be the best at anything
Oh fuck, OP. We're already at page 3. Are you sure it's not time for you to make a new thread?
>>94647569>So blinded by your delusions you think anybody pointing out your posts aren't organic are one person Lmao
>>94647561>grrr noone is glazing my basecoats>this is obviously a psyop against meFucking lol
>>94647581>Anybody pointing out the level of response isn't realistic is the OPHow pathetic
>>94647493Leagues of Votann and Tau fans are sitting right there dude. Don't ignore them.
>>94647577>no youKek
>>94647588leagues and tau are infinitely cooler than elves in space
>>94647571Luck. They escaped being exterminated and then just expanded really quickly irc.
>>94647571The blussy
>>94647513>>94647523>>94647527>>94647543>>94647549>>94647555>>94647561>>94647569>>94647576Warhammer 40k?
>>94647592I mean I guess it is commendable how they still managed to make a faction when you have all of the other species causing mayhem and war while being completely new relative to them
Would dark eldar take to ruling a human world in real space on the basis of causing suffering through beuracracy?Like knowing an extra form would cause 100 people to die a year or such?Would the de need to be near the dead or just in theory they could have the mega maid succ the souls up?
>>94647571They’re smart and dynamic, that’s always been their niche. They’re the only faction not ancient, with all the advantages and disadvantages that brings.
>>94647571having a small empire means their resources aren't nearly as stretched out across countless fronts at all times and can reinforce where needed and defend their territories effectively they don't present the most immediate and pressing threat to others so they're often ignored by many large forces which are instead vitally committed to other tasksand while they cannot come close to the most overpowered elements of many other factions or to their total galaxy-spanning strengths, they can and do match the forces the other factions can free to send their way
>>94647571They're the best at waging actual war in the galaxy.
>>94647577kettle, pot, niggerI wasn't even the anon you were talking to
>>94647607They do seem pretty clever but aren't factions such as the Eldar and Necrons smarter?>>94647614oh so their normal stuff can handle well but their "super" OP unique stuff can't compare, what would be a cool addition to even things out in your opinion?
>>94647620>Two people spamming low effort posts going ITS SHIT over and over is very organic
>>94647229>>94647250He was drawing Masha much earlier, which would make her more iconic
>>94644955>>94646709ITS SHIT
>>94647428Every primarch needs and eldar gf
>>94647629Mahca was always jealous of Taldeer.Because Taldeer got to have sex and she didn't.
>>94647624Maybe the Eldar and Necrons are “smarter”, but they’re also old news. The Eldar are in decline and the Necrons are either asleep or feuding over petty bullshit.Wargear designated as special issue experimental in the 4e codex, for example, is now just regular wargear. A small example, yes, but also a good point to see what the theme of the Tau is. They’re willing to change, experiment, and try new things - and being new, they’re both exponentially growing and easy to underestimate, as rhe Damocles Crusade demonstrated.
>>94647571They were too insignificant initially, so that allowed them to expand. They got bigger and more significant, but now they're not worth the resources it would require to wipe them out.
>>94647646wonder if they can potentially grow to becoming a devastating faction
new ones!>>94638507>>94638507>>94638507
>>94647624>he doesn't know
>>94647661tell me man
>>94647637>that little Frieren back thereShe would be autistic enough to be a match for Dorn.
>>94647629macha has literally never been on the level of cultist-chan
>>94647637>>94647664dunno, ask /hhg/
>>94647576>>94647659LolLmao
>>94647664Autism and female elves go together like hydrogen and oxygen.
>>94647665This is egregiously wrong. Nobody even knows cultist-chan who wasn't on 4chan in a particular couple of years 20 years ago.
>>94646709These are the stink. Should be paint a better one maybe
>>94647571>>94647592>>94647614I have seen estimates that put the Imperium of Man at somewhere north of a hundred billion inhabited worlds, the Tau have a few cases in the novels of having a hard time processing this scale.
>>94647691and nobody gives a fuck about a farseer that had no traits other than /tg/ giving her whisker face markings and some retard on the DoW3 team thinking that was canon because no other depictions of her existed
>>94647664For reasons that I can't comprehend, Frieren shows up all the time in 40k art.
>>94646709Dunno why everyone is shitting on this guy, they look fine for the early stages of painting.
>>94647697that's also part of why I asked, they are the underdogs with a capital U, no in fact the full thing is caps locked
>>94647704I don't think it is as much the skill and more the choice of color schemes.
>>94647704A smell appears. It is those models
>>94647711it's just the default death company scheme?
>>94647703elves probably
>>94647698Because she was in DoW, she was more recognisable to people than such characters as Eldrad Ulthran or Prince Yriel
>>94647703It is a strange intersection of strange fandoms. She is the dorky cute autistic lead to one of the most popular anime series in the last few years that does have some very high production values.
>>94647714Maybe if you have no eyes that can see
>>94647697>estimates that put the Imperium of Man at somewhere north of a hundred billion inhabited worldsbullshit, the number is one million, and not all of them are fully urbanised either.
>>94647724?
>>94647703>Just give men this and they will be happy
>>94647703Frieren actually shows up in a ton of shit, she's just a popular character.
>>94647714Problem is, unless you do highlights black looks terrible.
>>94647720>thinking primaris will make anyone thrilledI'm glad the meme reflects her severe autism.
>>94647720I think there are a lot of similarities that can be drawn between her and how a lot of the eldar are portrayed in 40k that help to draw parallels.
>>94647747nobody cares about the old squatty marines vs the taller marines, nomodels
Black, Red, and Gold?
>>94647746And they're blatantly WIP considering they're still subassembled
>>94647720Outside of memes, the narrative of Frieren is how Demons are human predators that are irredeemable beings that use their human resemblance to manipulate you into being easy prey. She’s shown to be seemingly cruel towards them, but only because she’s lived long enough to know their true nature.
>>94647766You have a lot of faith in your fellow man if you believe they will later be highlighted lol.
>>94647776You're getting mad over things that haven't happened yet
>>94647770True. She knows what the demons deserve.I wish I had saved a webm of her and Aura.
>>94647729...there are around 400 Billion stars in the milky way, you are saying that the imperium of man has colonized less than 1 star in 400,000. Significantly less actually, since the majority of canon imperial systems have an at least nominal presence on multiple planets in the system....do you have any concept just how many orders of magnitude off that is?
>>94647711death company looks bad now?
>>94647787
>>94647735Weird mix of kits. None of my old DC have those legs.
>>94647770The narrative of Frieren is how autism isn't this personality quirk that makes you a loveable eccentric, but a horrible curse that prevents you from happiness and connecting to people.
>>94647796NTA but yes. The Imperium has always been described as tenuously and thinly spread across the galaxy, and the CRB pretty explicitly states that “borders” in the conventional sense don’t exist. The one million worlds is direct from the opening blurb and, although probably just a figure of speech, we don’t have any other number. Some faggot on YouTube spouting numbers and “””theories””” doesn’t change that.
>>94647781I am not, I was explaining why others were. My first commentary on the subject was to point out why I believed others were giving them a hard time. >>94647797Not my favorite color scheme no, but it can look ok if done right.
>>94644898You're correct, honestly. SM were a mix of tacticool (for some stuff) and baroque. Necrons were simple and foreboding, actual alien mysteries with the fluff to match (written from a very Imperial POV, as opposed to today where WHACKY DEMENTIA GRANDPA matches wits with KLEPTOMANIAC LIBRARIAN HERO). Tau was also pretty simple, yet elegant, rounded brutalism. IG was made by people who liked history, and treadheads through FW, and wanted that as either inspiration or, let's be honest, copy/paste (but it worked). These are just your four factions, too. The game is no longer a wargame, the factions are no longer really themselves. Instead of being made by people who like other things, they're made by people who like Warhammer. Or don't, depending on who you ask.It's like how HH's distinctive style (and more in-depth special stuff in "1.0") of weathered and beaten, industrial output, military modeling (same for FW's stuff in general) is now just 'Eavy Metal team with SGS (they have their own, obviously). Even the models are 40kified now. In some ways, Warhammer is unrecognizable to what made it really cool and somewhat, somewhat unique around 3rd edition when it started separating itself from [other]. Kind of sad.
>>94645750Roboute is, isn’t that smart, luck gets him through most difficulties and most people like him even if they didn’t want him around at first.
>>94647661what is it?
>>94647735note the difference
>>94647796Not every star has a planetary system, though.
>>94647849>>94647781
>>94647796>you are saying that the imperium of man has colonized less than 1 star in 400,000.yes, correctone million is the number of worlds in the imperium
>>94647854nope
>>94647324hyper niche subfaction of an already niche army that is turbo autistic about the very specific shape of lenses, fabric masks, and tubes, and slight variations in the proportion and appearance of these features has triggered much autism
>>94647822True. The show lets you enjoy her as a loveable eccentric, but it hits so much better when you see what it's actually telling you.
>>94647824It is also canon that the great crusade conquered the majority of the galaxy. 0.0001% of systems seems a bit of a stretch for 'thinly spread'.
>>94647860the imperium has one million worldsthere are one thousand marine chapterseach chapter has one thousand marinesmarines are 7 feet tall when they're firstborn, and reach 8 feet when they become primaris
>>94647875The thing is, it's part of canon that the inhabited space is just islands in the darkness. The galaxy is three dimensions and a very, very, very big place. The Imperium doesn't have hard borders because you CAN'T have hard borders in such space.So it's just a mish-mash of "I say we control this area of space" and others ignoring that.
>>94647883me when I autistically cling to numbers provided by a company that has no sense of scale10+ million marinesmost chapters circumvent the codex limitmost of the galaxy is imperial clayfirstborn stand between 7-8 feet and primaris between 8-9 feet
>>94647849
I see Reivers are marginally better now.
>>94647324The horses. Drop them, add another siege gun and another squad of engineers, and I'll buy 2 boxes.
>>94647889>numbers provided by a company that has no sense of scaleThe canon numbers.Any other number is not just not canon, but sign of delusions or insecurity issues.
>>94647904cope however you want, the truth is on my side
>>94647875>>94647889I understand you’re trying to le epic numbers theorycrafting secondary thing, but have you ever actually opened a rule book and read the background section? Do you understand what the theme is (was)? It doesn’t really matter if one million marines is “too small” according to the calculations of FagotronHobbiesLoreVideos. It’s a round number. It’s cool. The Imperium is a vast web of colonies united by thin strands like faith and the tithe, and even then just barely. All the specifics are just in service to that overarching theme.
>>94647875>It is also canon that the great crusade conquered the majority of the galaxy.Not in terms of planets, no, just overall distance from terra.
>>94647324People finally realized Kriegers are boring. This makes way for the clearly superior Steel Legion to return to prominence.

>>94648030No, they aren't.Necrontyrs had 5 fingers, human-like nose, ears and feet and didn't have vertical ribcages.The only similarity in the two is the perceived frailty of their short lives, and perhaps the level of ingenuity and ambitions.

Pick your poison.You also failed to say what your question was and want us to play a guessing game about which post was yours.
>>94648075The only place you can find good 40k content on the internet is Instagram, exclusively referring to well painted miniatures there.
Wish there was a suitable faction that let me run necromunda gangs in full scale 40k
>>94648131Necromunda squats have a vastly superior aesthetic than Votann, but I don't know how feasible it would be to run a whole army of converted squats as LoV.
>>94647971>Space marine that can successfully wield bone swordUhh ohhh, someone call the ordo xenos.
>>94648131use the models for genestealer cultists
Does this read as aged copper?
>>94648200I think you overdid it a bit, chief.
>>94648200much better than the first attempt
>>94648201I'm pretty drunk. I'll leak stuff. What do you want to know about new combat patrol?
>>94648200way better than last time, yes
>>94648212How much will they cost
>>94648225350
>>94648235Aye caramba
>>94648212What the fuck were they thinking with the horse spam guard combat patrol
>>94648145If you don’t mind resin, the Squats are surprisingly as deep when it comes to their range. They have a big vehicle in the Explorator, their basic box with around 7+ loadouts for basic squats, one generic champion, three named characters (vs Votann’s two) and have bikes announced to be released at a later date (I don’t think the Votann have their next models even announced) It wouldn’t be a balanced list probably, but once those bikes come out, it really could be done.
>>94648225I don't know about the pricing, but I know what some of the new ones coming out will have in them. For example we're getting a 2nd GSC combat patrol that's 20 neophytes, kellermorph, a golaith truck, and a magus.>>94648247It actually has some pretty sick rules, the command squad can order the horses to fall back and charge, and the kasrkin can shoot into combat with the horses.
>>94644924that model was purely brought down by proportioning. the shoulder mounts are way better
>>94648257I used to buy a fair amount of resin as a custodes player back in the day before Forge World was rolled into the main website and I can confidently say that I have no desire to work with it again. I'm not a LoV guy myself but I'd love to see a nice army of kitbashed necromunda squats some day.
>>94648200Yeah, it definitely looks unintentional in the way that it’s aged, if wanted it to be more decorative and not indicative of age purely you could go a little harder on the copper dry brush on the armor bits specifically.
>>94648303Yeah, the only plastic models right now are the basic squats, hopefully the bikes follow suit. Also the basic box does have a load out for a Squat leader that you probably get away with proxying as a character unit. Hell if you don’t mind crossing into TOW, Grimnyr can probably be replaced with a Runesmith depending on how the rules around his drones work.
How much art is there of Commorragh? Do we have any art/maps of tjhe whole city?
>>94648419no
>>94648419Here's a photo of it
>>94648419I think it's just a dystopian nightmare city with drug addicts strung about on the streets while people kill each other in cabal related shootings.
>>94648442thats not toronto
>>94646199The Captain Angelos, or Captain Vanilla Ice
>>94644898Meanwhile Chaos is feastingUpdates are just better versions
>>94648267any thing interesting in the pipeline?
>>94648469there are also plenty of AOS models you can slap a powerpack on
>>94648473We're getting an entirely new edition of combat patrol. It's just a copy paste of spearhead in a lot of ways. The only other new combat patrol is a 2nd eldar one. It's just harlequins. Bikes, transport, troupe, and shadowseer.
>>94648419Commorragh is a shifting meta-euclidian growth stretching across multiple webway nexi large enough to make stolen suns and random black hole surprises minor occurrences, so if you want to know what it looks like take a mycelial network, twist it through a non-euclidian fractal and line the entire thing with massive twisting towers with semi-deterministic height made of black wraithbone and you'll get a basic idea.
>>94644898what about tyranids
>>94648486no stop ruining his cherry picking, he's trying to oldgoodnewbad
>>94648485This is probably the single best description I have seen for Commorragh. Great way to visualise it I wil l say though the stolen suns (Ilmaea) aren't their true size. They are surrounded by pocket dimensions that make them a fraction of their size and limit and heat and light that comes from them, like a corpse in a oubliette. So they're quite small and very close to the city. They're also all black suns, so think of that arena scene in Dune 2 but all of the city.
Dumb question, when there's a rules update, does the core book download get changed? Or do you have to have both pdfs open at the same time?
So, /40kg/, I found out today a family member wants to start playing 40k and requested some Custodes models. They're already getting a combat patrol from their dad and painting stuff from their mom so my question is: What do I get them to supplement their new battleforce?
>>94648532A heterosexual army
>>94648532Honestly get him some more wardens. They're really important and really good looking models.
Hello bros, Tyranid newfag here again. I finished a Tyrant Guard I'm much happier with and was wondering if anyone had any advice on improvements. Aside from edge highlights. Even I can tell I'm shitting the bed there.
>>94648532What's your budget? You could get some jetbikes or that new shield captain model.
>>94648538 Emperor's Children aren't out yet.>>94648545 Danke, I'm pretty sure my LGS has some of those.
>>94648559 Was thinking $100 bucks or less.
>>94648553The black on the carapace is a little thick. I'd suggest undercoating with the black contrast instead of a black traditional paint, it'll help keep your coverage smoother.
>>94648571Ah yeah, the matte black I use on the claws and hooves really does come out pretty thick. I don't have a black contrast, but I can try to thin it out a bit when I put it on. Thank you!
>>94648553So obviously you're correct, you can neaten up the edge highlights. The problem with black chitin is that the edge highlights are really going to make a more noticeable difference than other colors. You could practice some dry brushing to get some color on the edges to get at least something on there until you practice edge highlighting more. I'd recommend thinning your paints as the armor plates look in particular look too thick, tidying up whatever those orange spots are and/or do something more to break up the flat black areas, and look into making those front hands (hooves?) look a little less like raw chicken. Not bad for being a new painter and we all start somewhere. Have you been experimenting with color schemes or have you decided on this one?
>>94648532Reliably good units? Wardens.Baller looking with questionable untility? Grav Bikes.
>>94648574Be very careful thinning black paint. It'll get really streaky if you're not. Hence suggesting the contrast. It really is worth it's weight, especially if you're doing it for a large portion of your models.
>>94648565If you want a more meta choice, listen to anon and get him wardens. If you want a more visually striking model that looks different than a variant of foot infantry for a new player, go with the jet bikes or that new shield captain model.
>>94648576I'm pretty well-set on the scheme, I've already gotten a 10-pack of Hormagaunts in it. I'm a big fan of purples, so I thought to slightly adjust the Leviathan standard with a light purple-ish skin tone rather than the pale cream and a dark plum carapace. The orange/pink spots are wounds in the carapace, supposed to reflect scoring and flesh beneath. I guess it doesn't come across too well.I'll work on thinning the plum out more for the carapace, I can see what you mean on it being too thick as well. Thanks for the thoughtful advice, friend.>>94648582Ah, well I guess I have a purchase to make, then. Will do, appreciate it.
>>94648565Oh sorry to double reply but I just looked at that contents of the combat patrol and there's already wardens in the box. Fuck getting him more of the same, get him the shield captain or jet bikes.
>>94648586 He's just starting out and probably wont be metafgging for a while. I'll get some bikes and the captain. Let his dad pick up some Wardens for his birthday or something.
>>94648532>>94648600you could always get him some 3rd party accessory packs or models to add some variety to his army, that is very dependent on what sorta person he is though.
>>94648632 Awaken, my Emperor!
>>94648532Get them a noose
>>94648632>>94648600there are some nice bits & accessories packs you can grab for 20~30$ each, a couple of those and suddenly your friend has a much more distinctive army.
>>94648725>custodes with backpacks>custodes with primaris armourIt's even worse!
>>94648775>we're still pretending primaris look badanon its been seven years
>>94648780I mean, it's been nearly a decade and people still pretend AoS isn't a great game.
>>94648780And in seven more years, primaris will still look like shit.Some things never change. Like primaris being a direct aesthetic downgrade for marines even if the proportions are improved.>>94648785Yeah, it's a complete dogshit game and it just manages to get worse each edition. Funny that.
>>94648789oh we are really committing to the bit now aren't we
>>94648785yeah it's funny how fast the thread narrative will change from "AOS IS MOGGING US HELP" to "AOS is the worst selling wargame GW makes, its kept alive solely to spite us"
>94648789Secondary detected.
>>94648780>literally said nothing about primaris armour looking bad, only that it's on custodes who have their own armour design independent of marines ones>retard proceeds to spergs over nothingRent free.
>>94648775Ah, sorry, didn't realize where your interests lie, don't worry, I gotcha covered (metaphorically speaking).
>>94648797It's a shit game that smooth-brains who keep that shit afloat. Barely.>>94648798Post models.
>>94648798Reminder.
>>94648813NTA but I agree that you're a twat
>>94648797Speaking of AOS, I've seen some assembled COS Steelhelms with lasguns as Feudal Guard but never any painted models unfortunately. Seems like a neat concept though personally I'm not paying double to get ten Guardsmen on the table.
>>94648836I think they look good although feudal guard is the second "super cool guard idea" people will think up with the first usually being "krieg with german camos and mud bases"
Reminder the two black orbs are probably the physcial manifestation of the 'machine spirit'
All this talk about AoS has me wanting to start it with my local again.
>>94648836can be nice for character models though, I have seen conversions of Lady Olynder for both Necron and Mechanicus armies to excellent effect.
>>94648869theres a conversion like that in the necron codex too
>>94648854I mean, there has to be something to Machine Spirits if the Helstalker is able to suck them out of other machines and into itself.It's too bad the Lord Discordant has such shit rules.>This guy is supposed to be super good at killing vehicles>Has no good weapons against vehicles>Neither of his abilities do anything to armies that don't use (many) vehiclesHe's honestly better for murdering infantry but other units in the CSM roster do that better or for less points.
>>94648880She really is an amazing model that can re-themed surprisingly easily.
>>94648902I do wish we got an electro pope model, itd be a really neat subarmy for admech
>>94648813>>94648822Sure, I've already posted models in this thread. These are mine, I'm scion fag. >>94647122>>94646293
>>94648907There is a mechano-pope model. It's just part of the superior game.
>>94648854Not "probably", it's stated outright that that black orb is the housing for the main computer core of the vehicle.
>see the trailer for Squat Exo-Kyn for NecromundaJesas they look good. Can GW just keep releasing more Squat models until we can sub them in for a whole army instead of the Votann ones?
>>94648930that sculpt is resin derp to hell and back
>>94648930I like the idea of collecting a 30k army but I do not like the idea of painting a million fucking Iron Warriors.
>>94648951You could do like most Iron Warriors players do and just use the models in both HH and 40k. Since CSM still use all the classic vehicles.
>>94648935With the latest release, you pretty much can. Just don't have a Land Fortress or Berserker equivalent in Necromunda yet.
>>94648951Iron Warriors seem like they’re a lot like the Necrons where you can get them looking real decent with a dark base coat and metallic dry brush. Outside of those hazard lines that is.
Anyone that has a monolith knows if you can build to without the canoptek construct in the back?I like the sphere in the center and I'd like for it to be more visible
>>94648973The hazard lines are the entire problem or I would have done it already.
>>94648973
>>94648973>>94648980>>94648986If you don't have the autism necessary to paint perfect hazard stripes on your dudes, you are not qualified to play IW.
>>94648992The flesh is weak, the perfection of iron will endure where the blood fails.
So, lore autism question. Daemons and Necrons hard-counter Tyranids by virtue of not being made of solid meat, right? If either faction were to start getting an upper hand on the galaxy, is it plausible that the Hive Mind would actually ally with some of the meat factions to repel the non-meat? Just as a sort of "keeping the coyote out of the henhouse" thing?
>>94648979The tail is built into the green energy core it is wrapped around. So while technically you can remove the construct, the lower half of the tail is impossible to remove.
Trucking along. Only two more possessed to go! And ten warp talons, and three bikers, and two vindicators, and a helbrute...and a forgefiend and two rhinos.
