I'm excited for more EC reveals.
What 40k army do I start for the new year?
>>94679078Space Wolves so you can make Reindeer
>>94679078a 30k army.
>>94679111Seems gay.>>94679101Nah, my buddy plays them. Thank you tho.
>>94679130>like they should by all accounts beBy what accounts? Your terminal DnD brainrot?
>>94679078Grot revolutionary army
>>94679148>You can paint your dudes however you want.
Is crunch canon? I saw somewhere that Dark Eldar shoot chunks of stars as bullets, and thats pretty silly and awesome.
>>94679078>>94679147Seconding
if you could have any model custom made for free what would you request
>>94679078meganobz only ork army
>>94679194crunch is specifically the part of the rulebooks that concerns stats, descriptions of a gun's workings are fluff, so yes, canon, but most dark eldar weapons shoot shards of crystallised poisons, I don't know what weapon you're referring to.
>>94679234Lord Solar Macharius with living saint wingsI have no intention of actually using it for anything and I don't think he'd fit in very well with the current guard but I do think it would be a cool model.
>>94679234The six million teef Ork
>>94679234I already did.I got myself a slann.
>>94679234The Outsider
I have a 2k game tomorrow against Death Guard. Should I bring an Avatar, or my Wraithknight? No idea what he'll be bringing aside from likely the Combat Patrol.
>>94679234Updated Asdrubael Vect on the Dais of Destruction. Make it fucking happen GW.
>>94679302With slavegirls?
>>94679296Have you fought Death Guard before? If so, what did you use then?
>>94679304Yeah sure whatever. I was never a big fan of them so I'd probably leave them off but in keeping with tradition of the old model I'd at least include them.
>>94679306Only once, back in 9th.It was the first game I ever played. I didn't fully understand Deep Strike rules and my opponent dropped a squad of Blightlords and a squad of Deathshrouds almost directly into my front line first turn before my turn even started.So I really don't know what they actually do beyond decreasing Toughness.
If you could have any 40k firearm in real life, which one would you choose and why? I'd go for a shuriken pistol or catapult for near infinite ammo.
>>94679340
>>94679340Thr Sniper rifle the Vindicare assasins use
>>94679340Probably a lasgun. Punch of 7.62 NATO with 150 round batteries that can be charged in the sun, no recoil, and technically not even a firearm so no NFA bullshit in the U.S.
>>94679340This place really is just Plebbit 2.0
>>94679234
Dumb question, anons. Are the helmet sizes the same fit throughout the lines of space marines? Can I put some HH helmets on a primaris for example, or will it look out of place in shape.
Is a Ballistus Dreadnought that much of a downgrade from a Redemptor Dreadnought? I could fit a Redemptor on my 1000 point list if I bring 5 less Assault Intercessors, and I refuse to bring a tank instead, because I don’t like vehicles.
Is there any lore about what the Tau think of teleportation technologies? People talk about absence of psykers and FTL all the time, but teleportation never seem to be included in the discussion nor it is ever considered a big deal by anyone.
>>94679388>because I don’t like vehiclesInfantry chads win again
>>94679386Yeah they're all pretty close, you can swap just about every marine helmet available rn around and noone will notice any size differences
>>94679388The reason the Redemptor costs what it does is that it has the damage reduction; other than that, it's used because it's a jack of all trades; it can shoot ok and fight ok. The ballistics is too specialized and I would ALMOST take a Castraferrum over it (if I played Primaris that is, since I don't only run boxnaughts) because it can have basically the same gun as a ballistus and still have a power fist, and has the aura for only five points more, but it's much more fragile at the tradeoff of never bracketing.
>>94679408You don't have any dreadnoughts
>>94679373OP is just throwing around as many pointless questions as possible because he's made the thread too early again and he's afraid jannies will delete it if it doesn't have enough traffic.
>>94679411Swear on me fuckin mum m8
>>94679405Thanks anon, might pick up a set for a unit of my chapter now and use the leftover for a test moc/diorama. Unless I find a place near that can 3d print custom helmets for me in a not shit quality
>>94679432>basecoated blood ravens contemptor with huge gaps, no basing, and the worst posing of all time-10vp
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94678913Let's just hope they come with helmet options
>>94679283I wish C'tan were more abstract/alien. Big naked metal men with slightly weird heads is so lame.
>>94679444He's still proven he's got dreadnoughts, unlike you.
Played my first game against orksHe won the die roll and charged me turn 1 with a waaaghI didn't think he had range but well, it's a learning experience
>>94679444goalposts.gif
>>94679340A Kantrael M36 pattern Lasgun with spare power packs and a cleaning kit.
>>94679444Didn't ask don't care
>>94679388The Redemptor is expensive because it trades great into 2w damage and the plasma gun it has melts MEQIt's arguably overcosted, was fine at 200.
>>94679454So make your own.
>>94679476>kefka deceiverI like it
I'm not going to be trying to win seriously with this list since these are just the models I actually want to paint, but how can I improve this list without massive changesthe vehicles/dread are what I'm the least attached to as it is
So, I'm been thinking of kitbashing my Skyray with secondary guns so it looks like a SPAA. I'm thinking of giving it ion cannons or burst cannons next to the seeker missiles. Any suggestions?
>>94679467Yeah, I could bring an Apothecary too if it cost just ten points less. Or no Artificer Armor, but that enhancement seems too good for a Chaplain.
I have a challenge for the thread, using the 3rd-7th ruleset come up with the most obscure legal armylist that uses as old of books as possible
>>94679486I think you're slightly above 2k.You can try the following -Drop the Redemptor and Drop PodAdd an Impulsor to replace the Drop PodUpgrade the Land Raider to a RedeemerThis leaves you with 155 points left over - which means you can get a Predator of either stripe, or a Ballistus Dread for 130 Then maybe drop Iron Resolve for The Imperium's Sword to get a nice round 2k.
>>94679432Do you own a single model that would count as battle ready
>>94679486>vehicles/dread are what I'm the least attached to as it isTaste issue
>>94679488That's not your skyray you stole that from reddit
>>94679492Wouldn't that just be dredging up ancient DE or Sisters rules from their late 90s codices that never got updated for many editions
>>94679594So? It's not like I get goodboy points or anything. Why would I want to kitbash a painted skyray anyway?
>>94679574I'll tell you after you post a grey redemptor
>>94679594>reading comprehension
>>94679594Maybe the same Redditor crossposts on /40kg/
>>94679531Yeah with the latest update I'm 15 overI suppose I lied a bit, the drop pod I'd prefer not to lose even if it's suboptimal, if only because I'd be gutted over assembling that awful kit and not getting to use it lmaoI've heard ballistus isn't really worth the points over a redemptor but I've got games played outside of some combat patrols so I'm speaking with fuckall experience>>94679585I just don't find vehicles interesting and dreads are better than tanks and APCs but I still vastly prefer chunky infantry blobs
Painted the models I brought with meGoing forward I'm going to see how the aged copper and gold colour scheme looks on Necrons
>>94679667I don't care for the yellow cape or the blue staff but aside from that they cool
>>94679667wanna share a tip with youbasecoat the parts in kantor bluethen apply the verdigris where it would pool etcthen drybrush with copper
>>94679609So the answer is no then
>>94679699That sounds awful, definitely don't do that
>>94679667mephrit dynasty's already kinda a rusty worn down look, you could use them as a starting point
>>94679702Not many
>>94679733That model on the right has no texture on the base, that's not battle ready. The other two are though
>>94679744I need a new basing scheme I'm tired of getting goop on my boy's feet
>>94679682Yeah I feel the same with the yellow, if I do more capes with this scheme they'll be gold like the plume. The blue staff looks better in person it's hard to capture on camera
>>94679767Use a wet brush to tidy up any texture paste you get on the boots due to your childlike motor skills
>>94678886>TQ:Poast models>OP doesn't even post modelsWhy would I do what the OP can't even do himself
>>94679733Yeesh
How do successor chapters of Marines get the numbers to actually form? Assuming general codex compliance, they can’t go much over 1000 Marines without special exemption, so where does the numbers to break away come from?
>>94679978who cares, Marines are fucking gay
>>94679988you aren't special for being a hipster
A beastwoman who is loyal to the emperor, but whose faith is tested when some compelling force brings her out of the underhive to experience the hatred of baseline humans for her, not sure if she should fall to chaos or remain faithful. There will be sex.
>>94679993seething Marinefaggo jack off to your totally unique OC chapter full of dudes in power armor that all look totally different from each other
>>94680001(you) are trying too hardno fun
>>94679194>>94679250The Blaster/Dark Lance fire tiny amounts of anti-matter/dark-matter harvested from dying stars/black holes (dead stars). So their standard weapons do involve star derived chunks. Also they have lore-only weapons that involve teleporting stars to people, or teleporting people into stars, or even teleporting away stars. But these can sometimes be better described as 'traps'.
>>94680001>Not having different /your dudes/ factions for the Imperium, Chaos, and Xenos all at once
>>94680033having a /yourdudes/ is perfectly acceptablebut not Marines for Imperiummake a Guard regiment like a decent human being you fucking living soijacks
>>94680037I have a Marine Chapter, an order of Sisters, and an Inquisitorial retinue.I also have a CSM Warband with several sub-sects, and a Chaos-aligned Craftworld they work with.And then I have a normal Craftworld as well.I have too much free time at work.
>>94680087having a custom order of Sisters is based, and I retract all accusations of soijackerymake an Ork clan and your crimes will be fully forgiven
>>94680097>make an Ork clan and your crimes will be fully forgivenI'm considering one to tie in to the Inquisitor Lord at the head of the retinue. Likely just going to be a kill team though, have enough as is.

>>94680245You and Perryfag from /wfg/ should jerk each other
>>94679978Hypno indoctrinated hive city youths who are selected for genetic compatibility are the most likely source for a first run of marine chapter members. The actual officer corps typically comes from whatever chapter the geneseed being used is from but that’s not always the case. The geneseed is usually already excess stock in storage or a particular kind chosen by the High Lords and replicated with servitor cloning under a Magos biologis. It takes around a 100 years to make a thousand marines worth of primarch goo that way.
>>94680245You should really change your mind about that homie. Otherwise okay dudes.
>>94680245>no basing.
I'm excited, bros. The last few models of my army are on their way. I got a TON of priming and painting to do, but I'm just hyped to at least have all of my plastic together.
>>94679978the usual way is marines gathering over 1k and going "time to split off"tell the high lords and progenitor chapter and get some geneseedsend a few handfuls of veterans off to start a new chapter with their experience and geneseed and get them to start recruiting
What’s the easiest method to base a model? I’m partial to slathering pva glue on it and shaking grass and some tufts into the base when lazy. If I’m feeling more involved lava bases are also easy but take some more effort and look much better.How about /you/? Post last models of the year.
>>94680245>there will be no basing

>>94680626>What's wrong with self insert characters?
>>94680626I am the one who wants the rogue trader model. Most people hate self inserts in rpgs because they’re half assed and often times the person who wants to self insert has a flat affect and no personality, or conversely too much personality.I just want my dudes to be led by me.
Bought a new Kill team, its Space Marine Intercession and I was wondering what are some good combinations for it? I was thinking>2 Grenadiers>2 Warriors with Scoped Bolt Rifles>A Gunner with a Grenade Launcer>A Intercessor Sergeant with Auto bolt RifleIm kind of new so any tips would be greatly appreciated!Also still trying to decide if I want to do Blueberry Paint or Salamanders

>>94679574>>94679444Why must you niggers shit the thread up with your moving goalposts?
>>94680803I just want an Xcom game where you manage the defense/invasion (I don't care) of a planet as a marine strike force.Maybe the story hook could be that you are leading the scout company, you are isolated and must defend wherever you are, so that justifies the gameplay feature of leveling up marines from the bottom up.
>>94680826We don't use that language here, please apologize and then delete your post. Thank you for your cooperation
If I painted my bases with a lightning pattern would that count as basing?I've tried several things for my Necrons and I hated every single one of them, I'd rather paint that than slapping more texture paint.
>>94679234Flayer overlord.Simple as.
>>94680859>Flayer overlordFlavorlord
>>94680835I mean dawn of war 1, has the ultimate mod or whatever it’s called that has settings that allow you to survive waves of enemies like a tower defense, you can even have squads level up. It’s fun.
>>94680864Yeah, but I really want someone to just take the xcom formula and apply it to the marines, so you can have a bunch of strike squads you become attached to and customise, upgrade and level up alongside having a tech tree that would basically be just recovering access to the chapter armoury little by little.You could also have multiple enemy factions to make it interesting, some allies from other imperial factions as a bonus.
>>94680835There was a grey knight game that was that recently
>>94680835>>94680878Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters. Basically 3D Xcom but 40k
>>94680879Was it good, I heard practically nothing about it after it dropped
>>94680878Not the same...I've played it but it's not the same.Everyone gets close to the xcom formula but they always fall short of it. And I mean just nu-xcom, you don't even need to go full tism game like classic xcom.
>>94680881Apparently it gets really hard according to steam reviews
>>94680883Ah. Sorry. Personally I'd love a flight or space sim game for 40k starting Orkz. I can't remember if dakkajets are void capable or not
>>94680886>I can't remember if dakkajets are void capable or notI'm sure with enough tape they are
>>94680889Well the reason we cant fly jets in space is because of the cold. Thus, Orks simply have to put in heaters

>video games
>>94680739Not kitbashing. Basing is adding shit to the base of the model. Sometimes it looks OK, but most of the time it looks bad and is usually contradictory to the game being played. People like to put desert, snow, grass etc on the base. Now imagine you're playing a Boatding Action game where you are either invading or defending a spaceship. Why the fuck is there a tiny forest following your guys around in a spaceship? The only time it doesn't look bad is when it matches the lore of the model and still fits the situation. For example, chaos corruption spreading beneath the feet of demons or chaos space marines.
>>94680810I love this pic too much
>>94680988It's a bit sad that in lore it's basically impossible for a tithed militarum soldier to ever come back home, even if wounded they end up doing some clerk job in the regiment
>>94680983This is the correct answer, basing and kitbashing are different things but both related to the hobbyThe original anon means no basing as "I'm not going to put anything and let it unpainted"
>>94680996Well she's a communications officer of some sort so it's not entirely out of scope to survive the 20+ years of service mandated when she got tithed
>>94679444There's a faggot like you in every thread I guess.
>>94681003But isn't tithe service lifetime?
>>94681018No, it's just really rare to survive through an entire serviceOllanius Pius(?) lived through his service and was granted a homestead on a frontier world for his service but he's a glup shitto who couldn't die normally so he's not the standard for guard experience

>>94679234Perturabo's Iron Circle
I got a hobby question.So I like the artstyle of the right pic of dutch soldiers. I painted the barbarian on the right a week ago and I noticed that the blotchy skin and highlights reminded me of something, and I realized that it was this piece of artwork I had saved from a youtube video.How does this style translate to something lik CSM or in particular death guard? It's very blotchy but consistently blotchy. It's uniformly non-uniform if that makes sense. Kind of like tiger stripes or cow spots or zebra stripes. For this reason I like using fyreslayer and guilliman flesh contrast paints for skin.
>>94681076Look at turnip28 conversions and just give them some tentacles and guts
>>94680458>Post last models of the year.This is technically the last one I finished.
Is this too much black? I'm considering darkening the red and maybe doing the chest red. I also think highlighting will fix it quite a bit
>>94681094Blanon my beloved
>>94681140I think it'll be fine after highlights
>>94681094Christ anon that looks amazing. Really nice.
>>94681140It looks fine as a scheme, I would definitely recommend looking into painting offblack for painting black-dominant schemes if this is a paintjob you're going to use a lot going forward, it'll give you a lot more freedom with what you can do to the paintjob on them
>>94681155It's just a one off and the black is the sprayed on base. I might hit it with a really light coat of fenrisian grey as I clean it up

>>94680996It's kind of wild too because each regiment is made from a hyper-specific culture. You'd think that when the Tallaran 41st goes to replenish its soldiers, they'd cycle out those who have done their duty. Instead, the overwhelming majority of IG stories end with either command abandoning them completely to repopulate the world they conquered or dropping them off on another planet where they fall to chaos almost immediately... while the ship that dropped them off goes back to their homeworld.
>>94681205>solely in charge of the means of production; building your own Lasgun will get you servitor dutyNope, plenty of other institutions make that kind of basic shit without oversight.>Even Space Marines must make deals with the Ad Mech because they are completely reliant on them for wargearTrue.>All techmarines need to go to Mars, creating a massive training bottleneckThere are a few sources that have techmarines sent to more local forgeworlds.

>>94681205>>94681225The funny thing is, the answer to your original question is still kind of yes, it's just that most of your reasons are somewhere between misinformed and stupid.It's strongly hinted that Emperor had active plans for purging that Mechanicum later down the road, but Navigators were higher on the list of allies of temporary necessity to wipe out, and could more immediately be replaced by his webway project. Replacing the machine cult would have been a far more involved process, but obviously everything went wildly off the rails long before it could happen.

>>94681334There are two lines: Merchant and Protector. Merchant is the old fleet and it is basically made of civilian vessels converted into warships, ak a conscript navy. This is fine and even historically accurate of how navies came to be. There's no such thing as an unarmed spaceship. The more proper military vessel of this fleet is the Lar'shi or Hero class cruiser which was meant to go toe to toe with Luna class cruisers and failed to meet expectation despite building a very capable ship technically outgunning "the Battleship" (Il'fannor or Merchant class) of this line. On the other hand, the Protector fleet, on the other hand, was designed from the ground up to be a proper military fleet. From a gameplay stand-point, Tau fleets play like a modern navy, focusing on missiles and starfighters over ordnance.

I don't get why there are so many youtube channels focused on painting exclusively with contrast paints. If you learn to paint with acrylics you can paint anything, and they're more involved and interesting to work with. I'm not saying contrast paints are bad (or as the oldheads like to call them, inks) but I don't get the necessity to use one single product for everything.One of the most fun parts of any artsy hobby is trying out all the materials and seeing which ones you like to use.
>>94681758
>>94681762some people aren't interested in exploring that aspect of the hobby, yah dingbat, they just want to get their models on the table to play
>>94681761>>94681769The funny part is how much you let me control your behaviour.
GW paypigs are actually terrifying
>>94681789Dont worry maybe one day you'll have disposable income instead of crushing student debt
>>94681762a good majority of viewers are new or unskilled hobbyists, and contrast methods are sold as a quick "get it on the table in minutes, no skill required" shortcut. traditional acrylic painting with base, layer, shade, highlight, glazes and blends require more effort, more brush control, and are easier to fuck up. with contrast, if you fuck it up it might look like you colored outside the lines a bit. with traditional acrylic paints if you fuck up your model could end up looking like a half melted gumball. it might also surprise you to learn that a lot of people who play this game, like a shocking amount given what this hobby is, actually hate doing art and creative work. they are playing it for the gameplay, the tabletop strategy game aspect, the number crunching, hang out at the club or go to tournaments and wrack up against opponents, or got into it through books and lore, and have little to no interest in the actual assembling and painting side of the hobby. for these people painting is an obstacle, a chore, and they are just looking to get it over with as quickly as possible so they can get on to the game, which has created a whole cottage industry of no effort ez paint contrast guides
>>94681784what's funny is how you think people ridiculing you is you having control over them, you absolute doofus
>>94681770but painting is 75% of the hobby. it's by far the most time consuming part, if you don't enjoy it this seems like a silly hobby to have
>>94681804I made you respond. You will continue to respond.
>>94681094I'd be afraid to play with such beautiful models.
>>94681770The rules for 40k are ass and are only useful to play with your painted models. I actually refuse to believe anyone would want to play this game just for the game.

The one thing I hate more than primaris marines is primaris marines in Deathwatch colorsThose literally-born-yesterday niggers have no place among seasoned veterans
>>94678886I'm a GSC main and have decided to get a few Tyranids for the Grotmas detachment. I'm using proxies from the Iron Hive range of 3rd party models to give them a biomechanical horror vibe. Most things seem straightforward, but I'm not really happy with my options for ripper swarms from my parasite of mortrex. Giving enemy infantry the Alien treatment with chest bursters doesn't really fit the vibe I'm going for, as the salvaged biotech-horror monsters wouldn't exactly be growing up that way. Should I use D&D Intellect Devourers instead, as the parasite gives the brain the ability to hear the Patriarch and later be implanted into future biotech-horrors? Should I condemn myself to creating models representing an infantry meat slurry of parts, in a style similar to The Thing or Halo's Flood swarms, as the infection process causes sudden mutation and the body just can't expand fast enough? Maybe just cheap out and use metal ooze piles as nanomachines or some shit? I'm torn

>>94679425Lamentersanon anon has OCD and is a self hating tranny.
>>94681824GW knows it can't market to normies as a hobby anymore, and it's probably better for their accountants not to shy away from advertising as a board game. Newbies should buy a box of troops and a hobbying/craft set up, but in that scenario, GW only gets a portion of the monies. Sell them the idea that they need an army, and they'll drop hundreds and hundreds of dollars on repeat boxes for an instant pile of shame and a nice end-of-month report for GW. After that, intentionally manipulate the meta so the Spikes buy the new release or whatever model got a rules glow-up to clear stock. It's shit on purpose. Just wait to see what happens when they figure out how to use generative AI to "assist" digital sculpting.
Look at that, some morons got PRANKED
>>94681935>Tldr>it’s just Poorfag explaining why it doesn’t understand economics
>>94681935>when they figure out how to use generative AI to "assist" digital sculptingI'm guessing they will have a LLM model specifically to design dogshit power creep rules first, just imagine every army getting a slop index every week, they could even make a subscription service where you pay for a shitty paperback of the newest patch to be delivered to you

>>94681935>>94681950>>94681952You shouldn’t talk with yourself this often. It is unhealthy.
>>94681947Even in the charitable interpretation that female custodes were a misunderstanding gone wrong, once it was officially published there was no putting a lid back on it, at least for a long while,
>>94681960Why are you replying to yourself ?
>>94681947Pranked? No, they were so fucking high in hopium about a single word that has multiple meanings that they were orbiting earth
>>94681969Hopium, you mean hyper copium
>inb4 a female custodes character becomes an auto includeLmao. I sure do like playing a faction where I have pretty much free reign over mydudes headcanon.
>>94681977Yeah, true. I mean, to them it was hopium. And as you said, in reality it was hyper copium.
>>94681982This is why epic heroes are reddit/marvel and bad
>>94681982I run the trannoid Creed with my own (male) officer model.
>>94681789>>94681796>>94681840>>94681873Why is it ALWAYS britbongs who are the biggest paypigs in every example/screenshot I see? I mean, of course there are leafs or euros or Amerimutts out there who splurge and spend like 300 USD in one purchase but EVERY instance of paypigging I've seen is committed by a balding, 30 something year old britbong with a soi jak beard and black thick rimmed glasses.also I have lots of money saved up since I have a comfy job and live under my means, but I still feel like a idiot paying 140 USD for a combat patrol or spearhead. I can but I choose not to because companies shouldn't be charging that much for plastic men that YOU need to clip, clean, build, prime, paint, and varnish. the last two price hikes were the last straw for me. just my two cents on the matter
>>94681947...what miniature is he referring to? Is there an official female Custodes miniature now?
>>94682000Brits are the majority of this hobby is why
>>94682000>why do I keep seeing British people buying a British product from a British company?Very good question, Anon
>>94682016I think Gav Thorpe, being a moron, has leaked a female custodes mini.
>>94682016All of the Custodes are still in heroic scale, he might have actually just spoiled an incoming refresh lmao.
>>94682026He says miniature, as in singular. It is gonna be a named character and the idiot has spoiled it, lol.
I've spent over $7k on clothes since the femstodes drop. That is all
>>94682000Why do you post this picture so many times? Also, go figure you're the PAKG guy too.
>>94682032Presumably a book character or something with a black library release I would guess? That's about the only time they do weird one-offs outside of a codex release. That or the end-of-edition narrative campaign starting up a year from now.
>>94682034Did you have to buy all your bridesmaids their dresses?
>>94682040Book character would be my guess, too.
>>94682016>>94682022>>94682026>>94682032>>94682040I doubt a black library author would know about model productionhe probably means the character model in the animationhowever, it still doesnt add up unless GW just refused to share information, which is stupid as theres nothing to "spoil", this isnt a tie in book to a TV show

>>94682032It might be a prototype, with how poorly the female custode roll out has been, I can see them making such a major change to lore and nothing actually be prepared for it.
>>94682064Making women run away from you in abject horror is not something to brag about.
>>94682056>I doubt a black library author would know about model productionAs long as you work at a company you will learn all sorts of shit within it, even if the information doesn't partain to your job at all.And you can just ask easily if another department is doing something, it's not some hush hush super sekrit shit. Especially if you work for the company.Also people forget but Gav is part of the Old Guard at GW, he used to work there and he was with the company early on. Of course he'd know about shit that's going down there.

How do you get over the hobby laziness? I'm like 95% of my combat patrol but as long as that final 5% is not complete and everything is waiting to be varnished, it's simply not complete. I've been sitting on it for the longest. Got an unopened 2nd box to reach 1000pts to play regular games at my LGS and I really need to do it, yet I just can't.
>>94682016Might be an upcoming Kill Team. Custodes have always only had the stupidly broken Compendium team, them and Nids have beeb overdue a bespoke team.
>>94682144I really feel like killing myself after seeing this shit
>>94682191Clearly Valerian transitioned since his introduction in Watchers of the Throne. The mini is him when he began the process and we can see the results in the WH+ episode.That's why there always been "female" custodes and they're still a brotherhood. It's like the inverse of all female dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.Like finds a way!
>>94682191I am sad because I will never get a Custodes Spear in For Honor.

>>94681918That looks pretty nice anon, truly speaks volumes of the marinefag's drive to make do with the limited releases GW gives us.

>>94682234This is true lad
>>94682204What the fuck is "hobby laziness?" Faggot, you're just fucking lazy, it doesn't need a qualifier. Finish your fucking army, loser.
Do you think the Imperium has enough cool political struggles?
>>94682261hobby block, whatever.
>>94682308Again, YOU ARE JUST FUCKING LAZY. Stop making up fucking terms to cushion it. You're a lazy faggot. Get painting, get varnishing, get fucking done. Stop posting on 4chan.
>>94682308>>94682204>>94682315There is no reason to make this into a problem, or a "thing". Interests come and go, and just because you consider Warhammer, or 40k, or Wargaming your hobby, it does not mean you need to do it every day, every week, or even every month. Do whatever you want in your spare time, and if you feel like painting some miniatures, do it. Even if its 2 years from now. And if not, who cares. There are certainly other things out there you like to do instead. Its not either Warhammer or nothing.
>>94681948>I'M GONNA CONSOOOOOOOOOMImagine thinking 40k rules are anything but threadbare and the corporate HQ is doing anything but full speed ahead late stage capitalist exploitation.
>>94681906Primaris. Primaris. Primaris.
All in favor of Gav Thrope meeting Mr. Mayhem? You have 24 hours to voice your opinion.
>>94682000>and spend like 300 USD in one purchaseYou realize how little money that actually is these days?
>>94682204I think that some of you fuckers just have undiagnosed ADHD
>>94682289No, there should be more religious schisms, more enforcements of imperial authority over rebellions that don't have to do with chaos or aliens, as well as petty intercine wars over resources, and different relations with neighbouring factions leading to clashes of ideologies, not to mention ancient vows that lead to uneven levels of supports and grudges over perceived slights caused by them.the imperium is WAY too monolithic because GW's narrative are obligated to focus on external threats, but with 40k years of worldbuilding the above has been barely touched, implied or thrown away offhandedly at most.
>>94682204sometimes you're just not in the mood for shit, its not going anywhere
>>94682289Reminder that even though every faction should have tons of infighting and internal desputes, we often see them fight others. This especially includes Chaos.
>>94682377You mean DON'T often. And I agree. There should be a lot more Imperium vs Imperium conflicts in general, considering that's the majority of what you actually see on the tabletop.
>>94681895in universe, there already hundreds years passed since Primarines introduction, if not moreface it, they are dead. all mannlets are dead. They either died in some random bumfuck nowhere campaign or transitioned to superior breedFirstborn? More like first to die lmao
>>94682362I agree in spirit, but technically everything you describe does happen, it’s just that the Inquisition memory holes it after it happens. I doubt that GW is raring to do another Civil War plotline when a whole range of their products is centered around Civil War in 30k
>>9468220415 minutes. Every. Fucking. Day. Eventually you’ll break through the block and get back to full hobbying.
Still playing with this camera. It captures great detail but goddamn is the focus really narrow. Like I can't even get 3 models into a picture and have them all be in focus. I'm sure I'm just retarded and not doing it right.
>>94682441how do you hobby for just 15 minutes. itll take that long just to get paint on the pallet and then clean it everything. sure assembling can be easily be started and stopped but painting takes forever.
>>94682362>I want more 30k in 40kNo.
>>94682454Paint a single part of a model, clean a tiny bit, practice some freehand. You can get stuff done in 15 minutes. Though honestly I hobby for hours at a time once I’m in the flow of it. But when I’m struggling to stay motivated, like during highlighting and stuff, I do a couple spots, then take a break.
>>94682460what I described is not 30k

i know everyone jokes about this hobby being full with people on the spectrum, but how "bad" is it really? like what should i expect for my first game? how much do i prepare?if i go down to my somewhat-local game store and ask for a game am i expected to know all the rules, how many rule-related hiccups am i allowed?
>>94682452The trick the pros do is one at a time and photoshop them together in a background. That many focal points is kinda impossible right now.
>>94682505Most of us are high functioning, about 1 in 10 are full blown spastics though.
>>94682505honestly man it just depends on the store
>>94682505theres an anon who posts here who autistically catalogs every and any cosmological concept that gets talked about within warhammer
>>94682452Look into focus stacking.
>>94682505/tg/ games (TTRPGs, card games and wargames) train autists to be high functioning
>>94682505>know all the rulesno one knows all the rules, in fact most tournaments come down to which player knows more rules exploits than the rest
>>94682452This guy is right >>94682560 . You can probably do it some other way but I use a cracked software called luminar neo. You're gonna need a tripod for that though because you have to take exact same pictures a couple times only focused in different parts of your mini.
>>94682505>if i go down to my somewhat-local game store and ask for a game am i expected to know all the rules, how many rule-related hiccups am i allowed?It depends on the LGS, there's an awesome guy at mine who immediately got me into the local whatsapp group of 40 people with everyone being super friendly and going over the rules and whatnot. They are autistic but not in the "clinical" sense, it's just a group of people who are into this shit.>>94682452What camera/lens are you using?
>>94682391That got retconned to like twelve years
>>94682505Judge it by this thread. There's a decent number of people here but there's only like 5 spergs that constantly derail the thread. Being really into something does not immediately mean you're actually mentally unwell
>>94682548Omegabased, you forget to attach the gigachad image.
>>94682505I’m apparently on the spectrum, so is my wife. We’re both very much part of the generation that got passed over the diagnosis though. Most of the people at the hobby shop will be very cool teaching you the rules. They will also usually corral the real tards so you don’t end up playing against the spastics that need a real wrangler to stop their meltdowns or bathe them.In my life in the hobby I’ve only seen 3 of those.

>>94682604That is even more stupid to be honest
>combat patrols are all the just awful push fit nonsense that just makes building harderDo I even bother gluing them if there happen to be no gaps on that particular model?
>>94682786Try shooting at your widest angle, zooming in narrows the depth of focus. At your lens's highest, it'll be as thin as a paper. You can also widen your depth of field by increasing the aperture, try shooting at f/11 or even 16. You don't need to worry about light since you're on a tripod, try to expose it as long as necessary. Like those anons said, focus stacking is another measure you can use.I shot this at f/9.8, 0.5sec exposure. It can be better but much better than some others.
>>94683004Slap glue on the edges after press fitting to see where there may be issues. I just chop the pegs off in some cases and can make it fit better without them. But most newbies aren’t too worried about gaps necessarily and are just happy for the “simple” assembly which is probably why they made the combat patrols that way.
>>94683031I mean, they're designed to stay together right, what's the point of gluing? I am going to be painting them so I will glue if there are gaps but if they're isn't then that should be fine then right? Also kinda sucks I can't paint the bases first because I have to peg them into the bases but I guess I'll get to see how hard it is to paint the base and model while they're already conjoined.
>>94683029good advice, anon. thanks.
>>94683059Actually I was wrong, focusing on closer objects narrows it down so shooting at your widest angle might not be the best option as you'll want to capture your minis and move your camera closer. This here basically explains the gist of it.https://photographylife.com/what-is-depth-of-field
I HATE PUSH FIT! I HATE PUSH FIT!!!
>>94683194real
>>94682452don't zoom in as much, your camera will be taking extremely large photos so don't feel bad about cropping stuff down after the factmacro photography is notoriously finnicky but at least with miniatures you can test things out basically as much as you'd like, since they're fully static
>>94683194I like push fit on bigger models. it's faster and makes painting sub assembly much simpler. why do ppl hate it so much?
>>94684020Half the time the pegs don't fit all the way and some have very awkward angles. 9/10 times it's easier to just cut the peg and glue normally. The appeal of push fit died to me after the first time I did it.
