The difference is that the Tau actually cares about its citizens, so when they lose them it's an embarrassment. The Imperium hates its own people, so when a few worlds get blown up they're like "So what?".

>>94684387
Every single one of those Chapters you just listed still fights on behalf of the Imperium and ascribes to their ideology. They still believe humanity's use is as cannon fodder for the war machine and they still believe that "There is no such thing as innocence; only degrees of guilt." They're just slightly sad when they commit atrocities instead.

The necrons have indeed started experimenting on humans to reverse their biotransference, as well as discovered pariahs amongst the human population and began the massive use of blackstone to distance whole regions of space from the immaterium so that whatever is caught in the middle is stripped of their souls, usually resulting in death.

But I doubt they would experiment on space marines specifically, they're a mess genetically and surgically and it seems like marines cannot be made from humans with the pariah gene.

I'd use normal human models, but you do you if you want to use marines, the fluff is extremely nebulous on what's possible and where the current narrative is headed

There was a time in early 3rd where a terminator had a 2+ armor save with no invulnerable save and power weapons just ignored armor saves.

GW is bad with numbers and sometimes downright retarded, I remember at some point they tried saying there were 8 millions khorne berserkers in one single blood crusade or some number like that.

What we know about chaos marines is that their geneseed is often (but not always) fucked so they often steal the geneseed of loyalists, or try unconventional approaches for boosting their numbers (the daemonculaba being one infamous example, but it's far from the only one); but on top of that warp fuckery means that there are a lot of very old chaos marines running around, some as old as the heresy, because they might not age normally and/or may be spat out by the warp from death or some other point in the timeline. and even further on top of that there is an irregular but not insignificant stream of formerly loyalist marines that turn their coat and join chaos.

The usual rule of thumb is that there are as many as the plot demands, and the plot currently demands a somewhat even confrontation of loaylist marines and chaos marines, with the balance getting tipped by other events and forces.

No, if he was saved at the end of the prologue of sm2 it's specifically because tigurius picked up his psychic signature.
from orbit.
that's not something that can happen with blanks or pariahs.

if anything titus is a latent psyker and the gimmick of the third game will be psychic powers and joining the librarians.
or he's just built different.

Should the Tau cease to be seen as a minor faction after the 5th Sphere Expansion? Obviously they were a minor faction of little importance during the 2nd Sphere Expansion when the Damocles Crusade happened, but since then, we've had the Third Sphere Expansion (stated to taken more worlds than the 1st and 2nd Sphere combined), the 4th Sphere Expansion (a disaster, but they still took a handful of worlds), and now they're stated for the 5th Sphere Expansion. If nothing else it would at least make Guilliman more worried about them.

One of his works was at some point the possible cover for 40k's spaceship combat game and some of the drawings left a lingering influence on a number of very early spaceship miniatures.
although imperial ships in particular would see a drastically different direction eventually.

No, in the vast majority of cases they can't and this effective invisibility is what allows culexus assassins to operate in the first place, and if the librarian had detected such an anomaly in titus he would have been interrogated for another pair of centuries.
the idea that titus might be a blank or a pariah is utter bullshit proposed by people with a less than superficial knowledge of the setting.
it's simply not possible.

Salamanders would be igniting entire noncombatant families of humans who decided to throw their lot in with the Tau. They would do it happily.

Remember they belong to a sadomasochistic fire cult and are from a death world that forces them to constantly migrate or be consumed by supersonic tectonic forces. The Salamanders hold human life dear but only when those humans are also part of the Imperium and it's overall cult of collective suffering in the name of the Emperor.

Oh I see it now, yeah that might cause you some issues in a few spots. I really would recommend giving your can a hot water bath before spraying like that other anon suggested. I use the hottest water out of my tap and soak the can for at least 15 mins. Shake the can heavily before dropping it in the bath and then shake again when you take it out. Those steps have let me spray at -35c temps with little issues

Titus doesn't have to be a blank on par with a culexus.
He is just "warp negative" enough wher psychic fuckery doesn't affect him.
Also it explains why everyone has a stick up their ass when they are talking or interacting with him, especially if they don't know him.
And this is a blank trait, normie humans just hate all blanks because the blank's field makes them act like it.

they don't.
and being warp negative enough for psychic fuckery to affect you less wouldn't make you detectable from orbit by a psyker.

it's simply not how shit works, he's not a blank, there have never been cases of blank marines but there are plenty of marines that have psychic potential.

Aside from being responsible for the creation of the Ethereals, the Eldar have come to the aid of the Tau a suspiciously large number of times, and Eldrad Ulthran, Irolac Dawnslayer, and Glebriwyn Tithrandil, have all had positive things to say about the Tau, two of those being Farseers making optimistic projections about their future.

One possible explanation, aside from their obvious role in creating the Tau in the first place, is that the Eldar no longer trust inherently psyker species like themselves, on account of what happened during the Fall. So instead they turn to dim species and try to guide them on a brighter path.

In the Xenology book it's revealed the that Tau Ethereals have a diamond shaped gland in their heads that is unique to their specific caste, and it's theorized that this gland is used to exert a subtle control over the rest of their species. Furthermore, it's also revealed that the Q'Orl have a similar gland in the queens of their hive species. And, at one point, the Eldar had kidnapped a Q'Orl Queen for some secret purpose.

So in all likelihood, the Eldar had taken the Q'Orl Queen's gland and created the Ethereals by replicating it in their species, which is why the Ethereals came out of nowhere one day, and why they have such mastery over the Tau species, and why the Eldar seem to get along with the Ethereals so suspiciously well.

My personal theory is that the Eldar knew that, if they ever did manage to rid the galaxy of the other major threats, they would still have to contend with the Imperium wanting to wipe them out, so they created the Tau as a backup plan, since the Tau are xenophilic enough to want to keep alien species, including the Eldar, alive, and would come to oppose the Imperium.

They wanted a faction that would be on the rise, instead of the decline. The Imperium can fight for millenia, but they're perpetually in decline, losing technologies, worlds, and knowledge. At some point, the Imperium will fall, much like the Eldar themselves.

The Eldar will need someone to take their place, but who? If the Necrons are allowed to take over, they'll pursue the Eldar relentlessly as their old foes and kill them and destroy the warp entirely, undoing the afterlife the Eldar hope to achieve with their goddess of death. If the Orks take over, they'll krump the Eldar souls with Gork and Mork. If Chaos wins, there is no peaceful afterlife because their rgoddess will be torn apart.

But the Tau? They have dim souls, and their ideology encourages co-existence with alien species. The goddess Tau'va that they've created through their auxillaries has already demonstrated a benevolence unusual for the entities of the Warp. And the Eldar know far better than humanity the importance of manipulating the Warp rather than trying to fight it.

Honestly that's the best part about the Tau, they give the Imperium aliens to fight that feel like an actual conventional military force.

The Eldar are cool, but they're backflipping psychic space ninjas, there's nothing conventional about them. The Orks are a chaotic green tide, they're cool, but feel more like a never-ending swarm than a proper military. The Necrons are basically zombie robots, and the Tyranids are swarms of space locusts. Chaos has some conventional forces, but they're just other humans.

Without the Tau, you don't have anyone for the Imperium to fight that feels like they're a regular military.

The bear/wold pelt Horus wears is what ties his whole design together. From generic evil bald man in power armour to something that invokes the germanic barbarians that invaded and destroyed the eastern Roman empire. The strips of red leather invoke the Roman republic solider armour. So you get a blend of barbarian Germanic invader and a traitor Roman, the ultimate villian to civilisation in space. The Eye of Horus being a subtle redesign of the Eye of Sauron and the evil eye also really elevaute his design to something beyond generic bad guy.

Actually way ahead of you. I've been thinking of them as splinter fleet Baphomet, since the modern-day Church of Satan uses the Hebrew letters for "Leviathan" to ring the goat head in their symbol.

I'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

A lot of the Imperial content is just going over the same few factions wtih no real change or reveals. Its imperials vs chaos or xenos, with very little to no attention to the Imperium vs Imperium fights that should make up the new bulk of overall conflicts within the Imperium. Planatery governors warring aganist each other, with rogue trader dynasties, greiacnes with high ranking members of the other institutions of the Adeptus Terra and all of them fighting and competeting with each other as well. Dark Eldar need more attention, theres a lot you could do with them since they are main non chaos/daemon technology innovatators. Necrons can't create new stuff since they're beyond science, darkmech are daemons, bile is chaos etc

Thanks. Main colors are Barak-Nar Burgundy & Lupercal Green. I had a spare Naggaroth Night from the intro set that I used for the Tyraniddy carapace parts, Slaanesh Grey for the skin. I used VGC Tan for the skin but it's really tanned as the name suggested, so I probably need to use a lighter color to highlight.

Scions yes, Russ no. The main issue as I see it is a lack of good solid battleline units. Nobody wants an army of.. Navy Breachers? Arbites? Embrace the fact that its just Inquisition: the faction and accept that the other kill teams are just along for the ride. Lean heavy on inspiration from Codex: Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters.

Plus, ditch Sisters and Grey Knights and Deathwatch as their own factions, pull it all in and do it right not like the abortion that we have now. I'm probably the only person here to actually have an Agents army as it currently stands lmao.

Terminators are veterans atleast in 40k and have always sort of been like that even back to space hulk.

I think primaris kinda solved the issue since gravis is a heavy armor set for standard troops
>>
>>94687211
They are acomplished veterans, with chapters most prized relic armor. They by all means are characters. This is why you have some terminators in 1st company and only Dark Angels have enough terminator armors to equip entire first company. In opposition to "regular marines" that you have 9 full companies of.

If you keep shaking it, it'll eventually come together. All the contrasts high in white separate like that. A vortex mixer can bring it back, or you can also stick a mixing ball I'm there, pop it in am old sock, and then pinch the sock in a power drill and just spin it for like 20 minutes straight

I didnt buy it, I just kinda hope they'll have another batch sometime soon. I dont even really need it desu I have more than enough green paints to paint some ork skin with.

Only do this with unopened pots unless you want to clean paint off your ceiling. You could probably wrap them up in elastic bands but don't hold me responsible if you spin an old pot in the drill and fire paint so far up your nose that it leaks out your ears

A fish would prolly be harder to sculpt than a tit, but I think you could do it even as a first time sculptor

its a solid game. plays fast, matches are usually punchy and swing back and forth, blowouts and hard counters are pretty rare. good model variety but also higher points costs so armies are cheaper than 40k by almost half. lore has gotten much better over the last few editions, especially since the c7 RPG soulbound fleshed out the world. also the small game format spearhead is quite good.

its got its problems, sure, but so has every edition of a warhammer game for the last 30 years.

i play GSC, and there is definitely a reason they are so rare despite the fantastic model range.

one of the most expensive armies in the game to collect, incredibly high skill floor, and rules that seem to change completely 3-4 times an edition, all on top of a typically middling to low winrate historically and on the hobbying side the sheer disposable cheapness of their units means painting a full 2k army can be quite the task, easily over 100 models in many lists.

its definitely an army with a laundry list of reasons not to collect it. i love them, but if i didnt get them off a swap market/secondary markets in some savvy deals (4k pts for $400usd, including multiples of every character), i dont know if i still would have collected them. it would have cost me easily 3x what i paid even with 15% flgs discounts.
