Collect some 3rd party accessories and experiment with color schemes till I get a few Votann models (enough for a kill team or so) to a point I am happy with.
I like a most of the elements, but something about the Votann as GW presents them does not feel quite right and I want to figure out which parts those are and at least give them a fair shake.

GW picked absolutely terrible color schemes for the majority of their subfactions. The only one I find to be genuinely good is the THA orange and grey scheme which I'm using for my army, mostly because I'm a lazy bastard and didn't feel like doing a custom color scheme for my second army. Anyway, point is they picked really badly clashing colors for how they wanted to present the army. They're slowly walking it back by shifting the box and promo art colors to the THA instead of the GTL minty fresh. Also, I genuinely think 'eavy metal's paint style is fucking terrible for 90% or more of the armies in the game. Dwarfs of all people shouldn't be so crisp and clean, they should be dirty and more rugged. I think these two things combined really fucked with how people perceive the faction.

Vect being a super secret Slaanesh follower would be funny. But its more that the deldar think exodites are backwards amish types, the craftworlds are traitors and cowards and they don't/can't all be sworn to Cegorach to protect their souls. So no spririt stones/infinity circuits, world spirit or gods protecting themselves so infinite torture to survive it is.

Emperors Children are willful sadists,torturers and sensory extremists as part of their faith, that is self serving and self reinforcing for their own benefit.
Dark Eldar are sadists,torturers and sensory extremists as a means of survival, but they enjoy and exalt in it as a great pleasure as a long lasting tradition that played a role in creating Slaanesh to being with.
Depends on your point of view really, do you want to be murdered raped and tortured for by a being motiviated a selfish will to power under the guise of religious worship, or for a being that will face a fate worse than death if they don't but they REALLY enjoy it.

That's just the cope they tell people. The other branches of Eldar prove you don't need to act the way the Commorites do to survive, they just do it out of pleasure and a general refusal to change their ways from before the fall.

>>94656519
None of the other Eldar survival methods are scaleable to their entire people. Craftworlds are limited by spirit stones. Harlequins can only hide so many souls under the gaze of Cegorach. Corsairs are all living on borrowed time before they burn out or return to another path. Exodites are powerless to defend themselves and can never expand. Ynnari are literally just a small range field of saved souls around their herald.

Funny thing, Doomrider was the first Emperor's Children model released for 40k. And he came out alongside new CSM Bikers.

We know GW loves nostalgia bait. I'd bet a small amount of money that sometime in the next three years they'll do a new Doomrider alongside new CSM Bikers. It would be a good release alongside one of their end of edition narrative campaign books.

>>
>>94656604
Deldar just makes the most sense. The three oldest nations without a major update were Necrons, then Tyranids, then Eldar/Dark Eldar. And Eldar already got theirs. Orks and Tau have a few stragglers that definitely need updates still, but both of them got some pretty major releases relatively recently.

>>94656678
All Eldar are specifically owned by Slaanesh. The whole thing with spirit stones, world souls, or torture shells is purely stalling. The Path system is just a coping mechanism for the eventual extinction of the Eldar.
Both major Eldar end-game scenarios, the Rhana Dandra and Ynnead, end with the Eldar being driven extinct and every single Eldar soul either being consigned to an eternity of sensory deprivation or losing all memory and sense of self to 'unite' with Ynnead, respectively. Even past that, should either of those fail the Eldar will spend eternity suffering infinite torments within Slaanesh. The Eldar are, in every way, completely fucked. Slaanesh beat them 10,000 years ago, and has spent every moment since then rubbing it in.

No anon I mean literally. All the Chaos Gods were 'born' when the duel between the Emperor and Horus broke reality and the Chaos Gods used it to insert themselves at the dawn of time. The Chaos Gods created themselves via a closed time loop, with everything they've done being a lead up to the Imperium being born so they can corrupt Horus and close the loop. Slaanesh jumped on the Eldar because they were the major power of the galaxy and the Chaos Gods needed to clear the way for the Emperor.

Requesting input from Black Templars players:

How do:
a. Jump Pack Chaplains
and
b. Invictor Tactical Warsuits
perform on the table? Thinking about kitbashing the former (to lead pic related) and buying the latter, Scout 8 seems useful/I think it's cool but I don't hear people talk about it much? T8 is kinda lame, does it pop too easily?

Jump Pack Chaplains are only really good with a 10 brick of 10 Jump Intercessors, but even then they can kind of just instantly kill any 1 thing on the table with greandes + hammer of Wrath + Exhortation of rage + like 40 chainsword attacks, then do objectives
>>
>>94656798
Invictor is a discount Redemptor that's there to be a distraction for the most part. It can still pop a few shots off and is surprisingly decent in melee hitting at S14 without buffs, but it does require some careful play. If you have any Phobos then it can lean more into the distraction role since nobody wants it shooting back at them
Chaplains are naturally good for any melee squad, but Jump Captains can provide a bit more versatility and for BT can provide +2 strength and -1 AP on Charge with the free Stratagem usage. Captains themselves can also hit harder than Chaplains via Power Fist or Thunder Hammer.
Entirely up to personal preference.

An absolute shitload of psychic might like Magnus can kill them. Essentially, Daemons and Perpetuals are two halves of the same coin and what permakills a perpetual can permakill a daemon.

In general, it's possible to permakill daemons but it's not practical

Assuming the Emperor's sword is a force weapon of incredible power (and that the Emperor is powering it up remotely) then I think it stands to reason that any sufficiently powerful psyker could permakill a daemon, force weapon or no. The weapon just makes it easier to attack the daemon's immaterial bits.
The problem is that Psykers of that caliber are exceedingly rare; we're talking mere handfuls in the entire Imperium.

With the second Oath from Gorillaman, I can drop down and clean up a backline objective holder AND stop another unit from being able to move, and after all that's done, I either get them to move a whole chunk of their army to deal with the pretty tough Gravis blob or I get a highly mobile, super killy deathstar with 10 inch movement in their backline...

I don't think anyone would care as long as he has the correct base size.
The CSM codex isn't as restrictive as the SM codex when it comes to named characters. Taking Abbadon doesn't make your army Black Legion in the way taking Calgar makes your army Ultramarines. You could take every named character in the book simultaneously and it would be legal. (Terrible idea, but legal)

You should probably pick a less stupid faction.
Welcome to the hobby.

You don't need to worry about the color of your primer until you're better at painting and know precisely the look you're going for. Just get a grey or black primer. If you're new to painting i think it's easier to paint on grey primer

>>94657432
I think they look neat and there isn't a decent Tyranid army set at my LGS (also from what I gathered from one of my friends who's into the hobby, making a decent Tyranid army costs an arm and a leg).

>>94657437
I see, I was gonna go with a green primer but your advice makes sense. Thanks.

>>94657446
Color primer is a good shortcut so go ahead. Can be trickier to cleanly fix mistakes though
>>
>>94657427
>What should I expect?
Kroot. They're (mostly) a pretty fragile subfaction that kind of lacks high-strength weapons to deal with bigger threats. However their Carnivore units are numerous and can come back in with stratagems, so even though they die a lot, they can effectively pin enemy units down while your battlesuits and tanks clean up.
What primer should I use when I paint them?
If I were to paint them I'd use either Seer Grey (for cooler tones) or Wraithbone (for warmer tones) and contrast paints for the basecoat. It seems like a decent way to get some alien skin without too much frustration.
The good thing about Kroot is that they change based on what they eat, so they can basically be whatever color you want.

dedicated primer is completely unnecessary as a beginner. I have 20 year old minis painted with no primer and they're still in fine shape.

>>94657427
Anon, there is a lot of bad advice here. The choice of primer depends on how you are painting them, not on your experience. Choosing the wrong primer will not help you get to be a better painter, using black for example will make some things harder and at the same time some things too easy. Since they are kroot you probably wont need to do black since outside of some advanced things you mostly do that for metallic models. That leaves white and gray, use white if you are going to do bright colors or use contrast style paints and for everything else use gray. Do not get the citadel brand primers, they are way overpriced - Rustoleum or Krylon is fine.

I'm expecting what's rumoured, so my hopes are just that the models look good. Interested to see what elite melee unit looks like.

>>94656611
Consider that they'll also get some crossover units from CSM as WE and TS get, so Rhinos, Predators, Mauler/Forgefiends at least are likely, and would already put them on equal footing with WE.
More importantly, Daemons getting carved up among the Cult Legions is almost certain at this point, so throw in like 15 extra datasheets just from that.
>>
>>94657802
I'd say things like Harlequins or Eldar in general. They're finicky little glass cannons who either hit hard or get rekt.
It takes time to learn how to properly position them for any sort of effectivity.
>>94657805
Guard do tend to demoralize new players if they run lots of infantry and watch their dudes die en masse. At least they have good tanks to fall back on to support their choice of army.
>>
>>94657802
Harlequins, Drukhari, AdMech, and GSC are probably the worst armies for new players. They're not necessarily bad armies, but they all quite difficult to play, expensive to collect, and a pain in the ass to paint.
>>
>>94657793
>>94657799
they are in dire need of new shit, any ideas?
>>
>>94657802
admech and GSC are regarded as the worst for beginners because they're detail heavy and expensive to build a force for
harlequins too but they're not a real army anymore
>>
>>94657819
Isn't Drukhari really cheap thanks to the combat patrol?

The army you don't like the look of.
Aesthetics should be your first and last concern, every issue you can find elsewhere can be addressed, you can paint harlequins with an easy scheme and you can find deals or recasts for the pricy armies.
>>
>>94657805
Guard at least has the tanks that make everything easier and cheaper. They're also often the draw of the army for many players.

I would even be fine with more robots, I just want them to be a bit more distinct. The ghostkeel is probably the only suit that's a little different.
>>
>>94657834
rustoleum and krylon are things you can buy at home depot or department grocery stores with home improvement sections like kroger stores, hobby shops and game stores usually don't carry them
hobby primers are fine, they're easier to use without worrying about flooding the model's details since they spray finer but they're over twice as expensive almost
main thing especially as a beginner to do is get something like a bunch of plastic spoons so you can test how whatever primer you picked will behave, instead of spraying it directly on your expensive plastic figures and seeing them get a chunky texture because you were too close/too far it was too hot/too cold/too humid
>>
>>94657786
>>94657793
>>94657799
I believe part of the reason is that they might be afraid of making the range look less 'alien' if they end up retreading the conventional unit types that the guard has, for example, like weapon teams, artillery emplacements, drop troopers, or whatever.


They had something going on with their floating trenches, and I guess they could play around with bigger drones or hoverbike scouts or a larger (perhaps walking) star wars-inspired armoured transport, but the look of the faction it's that one, not exactly easy to make something that doesn't resemble a differently sized version of something that's already there.

personally I'd vouch for auxiliary pity heroes to add more variety in aliens visible within the tau ranks without having to make entire units or subranges of each specific alien race you introduce, but that's it, these are the tau.

How's this airbrush?
Should I just buy a cheap chinkshit brush/compressor to start?
>>
>>94657825
That is the only thing that is remotely affordable about them right now. Kind of like how GSC was only affordable because of the old combat Patrol. The whole army gets way more expensive once you try to branch out from that, and it has been turned into a pseudo-horde army in 10th edition.
>>
>>94658016
I would recommend a cheap airbrush and a decent 50-90 dollar compressor to start, that way you can beat the shit out of the airbrush as you learn your thinner ratios and how to maintain it without risking ruining a hundred dollar iwata/badger airbrush

Honestly I'd be nervous about DEldar being an edition starter army. The only basic infantry that would benefit from a refresh are the Wracks, and even then just to have them in 10 man boxes and give them less asinine weapon options.
Dark Eldar require a more discriminate refresh; the resin options all coming to plastic, a few extras to round out the range, and maybe some new models for their generic HQs. Their basic infantry and staple plastic units are pretty much perfect, I would not trust GW to not fuck them up on a second swing.

>putting effort into your hobbies is psychotic
Strange cope but you do you

>>94658461
That irrelevant to your poorly half painted models lol
>>
>>94658461
If thats the case why do your wfb models look just as low effort as your 40k models

NTA, but that's how fingernails are meant to be. If you're cutting them lower than that, you're doing it wrong.
>>
So now that the dust has settled, who won Grotmas?
Who lost hardest?
IMO Necrons won, Admech came second (now they have a playable detachment!)
SoB, DG, and GK all lost. Their detachments are weak as fuck, especially SoB with how it revolves around the Miracle Dice they can't generate enough of anymore.
>>
>>94658607
tau lost. Tau always lose.
>>
>>94658546
Where's your highlights
>>
>>94658569
Aren't they too big?
>>
>>94658686
No. Kastellans stand just a little taller, but have the same base size.
>>
>>94658546
Coolio.
>>
>>94658607
Imperial Knights and votann fucking lost HARD
>>
>>94658747
At least Chaos Knights finally have a fluffy detachment?
>>
>>94658546
Love the blood splatter
>>
>>94658607
Nurgle daemons had the worst detachment of all, it was fucking awful
>>
>>94658747
I'm counting the IK detachment as part of the Admech win. It may not be great, but it is nice that there are more options for admech

Haloscreed is infinitely better for knights KEK
