>>94759966CadiaSimple as
I adore anime shadowsun
>>94760020Fake Shadowsun you mean. The real one looks like a dried up blueberry that fell in the back of your fridge and you forgot about it for 5 months
>>94759966Der throoder is a fag and his TQ is gay Post your favourite xenos
ok answer this too me, is One Page Rules good or is it a meme?
>>94760058They will have their revenge.
>>94760044yeah, I tend to ignore terrible art. In my mind, Tau women are generally attractive, fit and nubile.
>>94760087It works, that's more than you can say about 40k.
Got a mydudes commission by the artist known as Qsy
>>94759966>TQCommorragh, easily
>>94760044She's old, anon, what do you want?I'm actually surprised Tau haven't gotten around to bionics or life extending tech, given their basic tech level is so high.
>>94760100I know the PDFS are either free for the basic bitch rules, or you have too pay full price for the advanced rules, but is there anywhere I can find the full rules online for free? even pointing me in the direction of the PDF share thread or telling me too look in the PDF repository is enough, no need too link it too me directly if you dont want too.
>>94760099What the fuck is this cope?
>>94760115Coolio.
shit I forgot to ask in the last thread about who in the Tau can mano e mano Custards
>>94760097Literally who?
>>94759966>TQHoly Terra.
>>94760166Farsight in his mech, maybe?You want some mathhammer, anon?
>>94760058Anons some threads ago posted an excerpt about giant cambrian-animals-looking aliens with extremely powerful guns.That's got to become a new genre for me.
What genre of video game would best suit each faction if everyone has to have a video game?
>>94760195Inquisition would be out here playing map games.
>>94759975It is important.
>>94760156I raise you this
>>94760099That describes elves though.Tau are short-lived and it's doubtful they stay youthful for long. Shadowsun gets special treatment (stasis) due to being too good at her job to allow her to retire and live in anything resembling peace.>>94760115AL but greenI mean I guess they're okay. If I were to start CSM I'd probably do a Teal-green/Gold scheme like this.
>>94760143Path of the Dark Eldar was so god tier Jesus Christ it pains me we will never get a Xenos book that good again ever.
>>94760058ORKS ORKS ORKS
>>94760240can someone please link me too a One Page Rules repository please
>>94760115You got any models for these guys?
>>94760229>Tau are short-lived and it's doubtful they stay youthful for long. Shadowsun gets special treatment (stasis) due to being too good at her job to allow her to retire and live in anything resembling peace.Sure, but I trust in earth caste technology to keep that in check well enough. Tau have advanced cloning and biotech, and what they lack they can likely source from one of their many slave auxiliary races. Shadowsun can also just be engrammed and decanted into fresh bodies from time to time to maintain peak physical condition.
>>94760166Without armor or weapons? Nobody, nor anybody in the Imperium except a primarch.
>>94759966>TQI like Nemeton, seems comfy. It's a planet that stays in the equivalent of the Iron Age by choice, and it's a nearly tropical ocean archipelago world that is almost entirely forests and mountains on the little land it has that usually quietly rains. It's extremely well defended for some reason and the imperium allows it to stay this way for some undisclosed reason. It's the home of an ultramarine successor chapter so they probably opted to keep it this way for recruiting. https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Nemeton
Do situations like picrel happen a lot in 40k? Like is there doctrine against mistreatment of prisoners? What would stop a guard platoon from running a train on eldar captives?

>>94760316>What would stop a guard platoon from running a train on eldar captives?Commissar executing them
>>94760298dang then the other Xenos are something else since the last thread listed the ones who can beat them or go toe to toe with them from every faction except Taubut to be fair it wasn't stated if it's with or without weapons
Is the Hierophant the biggest Tyranid unit?
Wish I got into league of legends instead of world eaters
>>94760319I rarely thin my paints.It's more important to not overload your brush, yet I rarely see that advice being thrown around.
>>94760166A knarlocMaybe FarsightOne of their big-ass siege suitsCustodes are bodyguards and very good at killing enemies that are smaller and weaker than they are, even if they're outnumbered. They struggle against something larger and stronger in a 1v1.

What do you think of the leaked smelly boy sculpt?
Reminder that Eldar and Human are the same species. >old ones need soldiers for the War in Heaven>grab DNA from small furry creature on Terra>hyper-evolve it into the Eldar>same furry creature evolves on Terra over 60m+ years into Humansthis is the ONLY thing that explains their close appearance to us, even more so than some abhumans. additionally their psychic abilities are nearly identical to advanced psykers of humanity.>their DNA is also compatible with our own>see Malcador's half human half eldar "friend">furthermore from a meta perspective, the idea of humanity hating what is essentially itself is very fitting with other social commentary from the writers of the setting even going back to the beginning of Rogue Trader.
>>94760115neat
>>94760393it's gonna be great after a head swap.
>>94760393its alright, I'm 100% going to get it, but its not like DG actually needs yet another misc. leader/champion for plague marines.
>>94760393I don't like the head, cool otherwise
>>94760346The harridan is arguably bigger
>>94760340I am assuming that your question was implied towards a standard representation of each race if you were thinking more of like special individuals or super buffed out people, then maybe?
>>94760395Anon, they're not the same species, they're just made by the same makersYes, the old ones made humans too, the similarity between some creatures of the galaxy to creatures also present on earth is due to the fact the old ones seeded them all themselves, they liked their patterns to the point they sometimes arrange continents in the same way
>>94760431no one special just a strong unit vs another strong unit that can beat it
>>94760389That’s cool.
>>94760393He's cool.
>>94760393>This is a load of barnacles!
>>94760395I don't see you arguing that humans can crossbreed with orks and jokaeros
>>94760459They can and should.
>you can now tie down an enemy unit with guardmen, then hit them with a tactical nuke.New guard codex looking fun
>>94760459aren't jokaeros elevated orang utans? they should be easy to breed with compared to other races.
>>94760441>just a strong unit vs another strong unit that can beat itNo infantey the xenos factions normally field can actually go toe to toe with Custodes in lore.That thing with the Harlequins was literally a error by the author who had mistaken Custodes' strength with normal Guardsmen. War of the Beast really wasn't a good series, especially as tine went on.
>>94760502>who had mistaken Custodes' strength with normal Guardsmenfucking how?
>>94760148Given that Tau are constantly undergoing minor genetic conditioning every generation and are undergoing generally rapid advancement in every field this might be a feature rather than a bug.Outside of the absolute pinnacle of talent there's a generally reasonable presumption that you'd want your population to gradually phase out 'obsolete,' people in favour of better genetics, better taught, up-to-date people over time without resorting to genocide against old people.
>>94759966>TQNecromunda and i should not need to explain why
>>94760509Anon this is the same series where the entire Imperial Fists Chapter, all of it, got killed by a normal WAAAGH!!! of Orks. The modern Imperial Fists aren't actually the Imperial Fists, they're successors who were re-assigned because the High Lords recognized how disastruous it would be for a First Founding chapter to be wiped out wholesale in one engagement.
>>94760509Shit happens. The fist chapter of Eisenhorn begins with him and his retinue raiding a burial complex guarded by custodians. People misunderstood those to be custodes and wondered how an inquisitorial retinue could kill them that easily.
>>94760531stasis complex, not burial.
>>94760516New people bring new ideas and new capacities for development. Tau do preserve certain individuals if they have attained mastery in crucial fields of expertise, however, like commander puretide.
>>94760502I've never actually seen a source for this but I've seen it repeated everywhere and while I won't blame you for believing what you've heard this has honestly always sounded like cope. Harlequin named characters beating Custodians is absolutely no more extreme than what named Marine characters do in terms of disparity.
>>94760044I like things that look better.>b-but official GW thingGW are bunch of faggots infested by DEI shit who can't even draw eldar correctly anymore. Lelith looks like a 80 year old hag whose been doing crack for 70 years of her life.
>>94760389
>>94760502>That thing with the Harlequins was literally a error by the author who had mistaken Custodes' strength with normal Guardsmen.Holy fuck this cope HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA
>>94760547this right here, just look what they did to lelith
>>94760156>What the fuck is this cope?I ignore terrible looking models too.The new sisters of battle shit makes them look like trannies, they look god awful, and therefore isn't canon.
>>94760393Terminator sorc is going to get squatted
>>94760551yeah you're right the author totally meant for a handful of clowns to walk through the guys who took an entire new breed of bio titan to kill
>>94760531>unironically actually thinking they meant custodians as in literal custodians and not "a person who has responsibility for or looks after something"You have autism, please get help. I even went to double check my copy.
>>94760555you're literally describing headcanon
>>94760567Harlequins have almost always been above Space Marines, it's no sweat if named Harlequins punch that high especially when named Space Marines punch way higher.
>>94760393NOOT NOOT
>>94760567idk why you say that as proof they jobbed pretty hard against the emissary until the named character showed up. Or did you actually believe GW would kill off Leontus in some tiny lore blurb.
>>94760347Trust me, you don't.
>>94760582>You have autismAnon, read the post again.He's literally pointing out what you said and agrees.
>>94760582>as in literal custodians and not "a person who has responsibility for or looks after somethingThe latter is the literal meaning, lmao.I didn't say I misunderstood, but that other people did and raised a ruckus about it.
>>94760502Elite Harlequins, especially Solitaires, beating Custodes is absolutely not out of the realm of possibility lorewise. Cutting them down like chaff, sure, but giving them a good fight? Nah.
>>94760594cuckstodes aren't space marines
>>94760618No, but if the baseline is already above Space Marine and you're an elite named character then Custodians is a pretty easy stretch.
>>94760583so what? it has zero downsides
>>94760603>>94760613Ok my bad, you can make fun of me. I was blinded by my hate of Custode fags.
>>94760636It's fine, I respect your disgust of custodes.
>>94760583It's not headcanon to ignore that GW is incapable of sculping good looking male heads let alone pretty female headsespecially when SoB canonically look like this
>>94760650>especially when SoB canonically look like thisand this
>>94760548That’s cool.
>>94760659and this
>>94760548Very cool, I hope it can come apart for storage though. Looks like a PITA to put away.
>>94760548Finally finished printing up too much terrain for the entire table recentlygonna be a long while before it's all painted up lmao
>>94760240>craftworld eldar just lose and get dunked on forever>dark eldar mooch off their girlfriend and get a race carAs it should be.
>>94760713Hope you own an airbrush. That's a lot of shit to do even with big brushes.
>>94760548this is super fucking nice
>>94760719oh I dowaiting on a good day to soak everything in filler primer to get started
>>94760247Is that two battlewagons latched together?
>>94760546>>94760617Anons if you throw a squad of Harlequins at a squad of Custodes those Custodes aren't going to take damage and on the fight back they'll kill the squad twice over.If you throw a Solitaire at them he might damage one of them before they obliterate him.Harlequins are just Eldar in colorful suits. There isn't actually anything special about them.
>>94760713did you use fdm or a resin printer to print all this?
>>94760736If we're going by tabletop then the difference between a Solitaire's skill in melee and a Custodian's skill in melee was the same difference as a Custodian and a Guardsman at the time.
>>94760650>>94760659>>94760697Cute. How do I get into sisters? Combat patrol a good start?
>>94760486>aren't jokaeros elevated orang utans?They're aliens who look like terrestrial orangutans, any real genetic connection is purely hypothetical
>>94760316These faces are really well done.
>>94760762It's a masterpiece
>>94760736Not true at all nogames
>>94760380AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH>>94760382Knarlocs are extinct.
>>94760567>who took an entire new breed of bio titan to killIf you're talking about the lord solar assassination attempt, the norn emissary was killing custodes left and right without breaking a sweat and they weren't even its targetalso>biotitan
>>94760727Nope just a regular battlewagon with all the fixins
>>94760459Orks do not have semen they are fun guys.
>>94760740Just FDM, I hate my resin printer for large prints just because of the hoops my cleaning setup goes through compared to infantry and bitsI've got some repulsor parts sitting on my resin plate waiting to get cleaned for several weeks now just because I don't want to go down and pull out the big IPA tub lmao
>>94760058sslyth have a nice story ready to be told, too bad gw won't bother telling it
>>94760736You wanna play the tabletop card where a deployment of Custodes loses to a couple platoons of Guardsmen? Brave.
what makes Harlequins so strong anyway? warp shit again?>>94760529man humans are fucking shmucks, which is a shame since I like the concept of the imperium as a different take for a human faction and the space marines look cool, sure they are overly hated and loved at the same time but still cool
>>94760804Eldar are already strong and the more Eldar autistically devote themselves to be something the more mentally, physically and psychically powerful they get at it. Couple with the Eldar equivalent of archaeotech equipment and some Warp bullshit from Ceogorach and they're kitted out to wipe the floor with just about anything except Custodes and other hyperelites.
Well, GW continues to fuck up Imperial Guard. Very cool. Very cool. Though, I will say it's interesting to see some sort of "platoon" back, it doesn't make up for the /only/ Death Korps™ of Krieg™, Catachan™ Jungle Fighters, and Cadian™ Shock Troops. This game is somehow mixing the bullshit from that Star Wars™ game where everything is fixed even more now. You're just told, even more, what "/your dudes/" will take. I'm sure in future editions that special weaponry will go the way of combi-weapons and get consolidated into a single profile, which will fuck it up even more. Don't even say it can't happen because who would have thought they would do it to combi-weapons?I get it. I really do. GW wants to Streamline™ and Simplify™, but the lack of granularity is insulting to anyone with even a semi-functioning brain.What they should have done, and from reading sort of did with 8th edition for Guard was to kind of allow you to make your own regiment? You'd choose two (lol) doctrines that would give you a +1/-1 to [whatever], right? A far cry from the old IG Doctrine system where you selected from, what, 20 or so doctrines that you actually felt really created a regiment. Grenadiers, mechanized, drop troops, etc. They should have brought something like that back. A return to more "generic" squads would do so much to actually cut down on Datasheets™ (also a problem with Space Marines, but that's for later) and leave it open for the player to choose what they want to do. I know people think platoons were a tax for troops, but you didn't have to take platoons if you did a different doctrine, like mechanized where, if I remember correctly, was Armoured Fist Squads. Or the long gone Veterans were troops (I guess we'd say Battleline now?) and could be taken instead. Or hell, you didn't even need infantry if you did an armored army.Rant over, I think. I don't know why they keep finding ways to completely fuck up opportunities to do something interesting.
>>94760389I was feeling nostalgic and have a few other bits like this
>>94760736Utilizing simulated fights;>Troupe w/ Shadowseer vs Custodian GuardHarlies deal 4-5 damage, killing one Custodes. Custodians do 7 damage back if armed with Swords, 14 total if with Spears. If using Spears the full Troupe is lost, if Swords then the Shadowseer survives then does no damage on the second swing.>Solitaire vs CustodiansSolitaire, with Blitz, does 6 damage killing one Custodes if Shields, two if Spears. Custodes then deal 3 damage back (6 if Spears) to kill the Solitaire after three failed saves.
>>94760816you're saying they are amped up with everything?
>>94760831nobody cares
>>94760847They're not necessarily the absolute best and match really elite Aspects but yes, most of it comes from Eldar just having a much higher physical, mental and psychic ceiling than Humans though, so they actually get a big advantage from devoting themselves to something for centuries instead of plateauing after a few decades like we do.
>>94760857so what's the best of the best that the Eldar has to offer besides avatars of their deities? Yvrain?
>>94760833
>>94760883Yvraine also cheats by being empowered by Ynnead. If you want the peak of Eldar without outside assistance Lelith Hesperax made a name of humbling people like Chapter Masters while nerfing herself into the dirt by using essentially no equipment or outside resources though. If she could break her crippling autism she could probably manhandle anything except a Primarch.
>>94760896>If she could break her crippling autism she could probably manhandle anything except a Primarch.You're fucking delusional.
>>94760115Looks like shit, you may as well have just used AI and saved yourself some money.
>>94760906She already trashes things like Chapter Masters while explicitly using shitty equipment for her species and no buffs like combat drugs. The stories you've heard of her are explicitly her nerfing herself into the ground with her autism.
>>94760896she exploits weak points and shit?
>>94760913you're such a fucking faggot holy shit lmao
>>94760115CUTE
>>94759966So it looks like the new lore for the Tau is that the base Tau castes are actually naturally xenophobic and distrustful of other species (and don't particularly care for other castes either), and it's actually the Ethereals that are the ones encouraging xenophilia in the Empire and being the ones most open to having humans and other non-Tau be given high ranking positions under them.Basically it's reversed from the usual understanding of things. The Ethereals aren't the secret grimdark side of the Tau, they're the people keeping the Tau relatively tolerant, and without them the Tau would be just another genocidal empire like the Imperium.
>>94760928Pretty much, she's the Rogue meme of being too fast to hit then she starts cutting weakpoints in armour until she gets bored except cranked up to absurdity.
>>94760887Kino as fuck
>>94759966Armageddon

>>94760720Biboo detected. Love deployed.
>>94760928That guy's an idiot who's outright lying about Eldar strengths. Even the best fighters among Eldar are barely above humans and will get trounced by Marines unless they use ambush strategies to try and hit them fast. Dark Eldar are essentially the same but will frequently be in drugs as well.
>>94760938you would think they would learn form this or fucking counter them with something
>>94760943
>>94760950the only thing that I know is that this world is inconsistent even with the stronger stuff
>>94760955
>>94760950>Barely above HumansAnon I don't want to burst your bubble but random Eldar civilians have had roughly equal stats to Sisters of Battle since they both existed and the lore constantly portrays Eldar clowning on Humans - Marines tend to fuck them up but we're talking about Lelith who fights Hive Tyrants with the Eldar equivalent of pocket knives for sport here.
>>94760962The biggest consistency in 40k is genuinely that Eldar are a bunch of losers who are incapable of winning. Even fights where they have a massive advantage will typically end as a costly victory for them.>>94760971Lelith fights gimped and weakened prisoners in free-for-all gladiator matches.
>>94760980>gimped and weakenedWych Covens vary but I'm pretty sure Lelith at least fights things at full strength, she's completely uninterested in easy victories so hard she gimps herself harder than other Succubi just to feel something.
Got my first set of backdrops in the mail, playing around with them.
>>94760950The best Eldar fighters fucking clowned the Custodes.
>>94761021though I already got to say there are some pain points with this camera and stand. The stand lets you rotate and tilt the camera on every axis, but it's super fucking sticky and you can't make precise adjustments because of it. Becomes a frustration when it's already really difficult to get the focus on what you want.
>>94761027Anon it's already been discussed that it was an author's mistake in an already bad series.
>>94761038The Eldar have been around far longer than the Imperium, Imperium is to the Eldar and Necrons what the Tau are to the Imperium. Getting clowned on because the Imperium got too big for their britches is part and parcel of being the naive new kid on the block.
I freaking love drybrushing and washing.>but the drakenhof nightshade practically erases the etherium blue highlightsYes that's good Crimson Fists are supposed to be DARK blue too much highlight makes them look the wrong color. Guns haven't gotten the nuln oil yet btw.
>>94761038Still looking for a source and even though we do agree that it's a bad series, the same can be applied to a majority of Thorpe's works which is where almost all the Eldar being losers comes from. Look pretty much anywhere else and Eldar trade much more favourably.
>>94761027>The best Eldar fightersthat's aspect warriorseldar clowns aren't the best eldar fighters, they're merely good and unconventional
>>94760316
>>94761051Harlequins do rank above most Aspect Warriors but how they get that good is shrouded in mystery, they're all sorts of spooky to the point where even other Eldar are subconsciously uncomfortable around them and straight up horrified of Solitaires. Ceogorach is putting his boys through some wild shit.
>>94760831Everybody cares.
>>94760831holy shit shut the fuck up
>>94760950>That guy's an idiot who's outright lying about Eldar strengths. Even the best fighters among Eldar are barely above humans and will get trounced by MarinesLmao
>>94760831>doesn't make up for the /only/ Death Korps™ of Krieg™, Catachan™ Jungle Fighters, and CadianThey literally suggested using their rules to represent other factions, you can't even complain that GW doesn't support proxying
>>94761049>drybrushingYeah it's a good beginner technique, I'd recommend you give layering a go if you want to go further with your painting eventually
>>94760393>>94760405This is almost certainly going to be Lord of Poxes and just replace the generic DG Chaos Lord.>>94760563Almost certainly. I would say anything that's a CSM import unit is at risk. Terminators Lords and Sorcerers for sure. Cultists and Spawn probably gone too.
>>94760831Have you considered playing something else or does your lack of friends from being a massive faggot prevent that?
>113rdAre they using AI now? how did this happen?
>>94761099are you retarded?
>>94760787>We stood in the center for most of the game so we won!
>>94761027nta I thought it was both of them trading blows and kills?
>>94761127>One hundred thirteen-erdAre you?Fucking bongs don't deserve English.
>>94761127
>>94761148>>94761146nah you guys are right, i was focused on the number. i am indeed the retard
>>94760583Oh no? GW makes shit canon so I make my own or improve theirs. What are you gonna do about it? You gonna kick my ass? Fuck my mom? Eat my dog?
>>94761099I think it’s less ai and more the artist pronouncing it “One one third” in their head or something.
>>94761166No. Eat your ass, kick your mom, fuck your dog.
>>94761136Anon if a couple Guard platoons can consistently kill a handful of Custodes like they can on TT it'd make Custodes literally the least effective faction in the setting given the expense of their existence, using TT makes the Custodes come out to be the biggest dumbest self-destructive retards in the setting.I'm not a fan of using TT scaling, but it proves the point that using it to try and wank Custodes is a very strange move.
>>94761099God, those nipple guns will never not be retarded to me. Only way I could see them working if they were a pair of lasguns (like on Chimeras) with some optics for remote operation, and were used for close defence. The same way there's a lasgun on the back of the Baneblade's turret. But even then, you got a hull gun, sponsons, and machine guns on the turret to deal with anyone getting near.
Thinking of starting a Slaanesh Daemon army, What would be a good paint scheme for them?I'm sick of seeing pink/purple daemons
>>94761099I'm gonna guess it's meant to be 143rd but the artist fucked up.
>>94761200Gold and silver.
>>94761197maybe they get used to tear down structures on the tank's path
>>94761200orange and teal
>>94761200black shiny skin, bioluminescent blue dotsdeep sea sirens shit
I'm still building my first army and I want to get a big, punchy unit to balance out my more infantry and psuedo-mounted units I have so far. These are about the same price, which do you think I should get and why? I'm planning on running my army as awakened dynasty or annihilation legion since I'm leaning pretty hard on destroyer units and characters out of personal preference.
>>94760937Fucking retarded take as the Tau are supposed to have a racial in born fear against """intolerance""" (particularly amongst the castes) due to the Mont'au.The T'au absolutely have storied Edification Corps for the rogue elements of society that break away due to whatever trauma but the entire point of Tau society is to create an environment where you would give fuck all about the other castes because why would you ever know anything about the particulars of their existence outside of the fleeting interaction they may have with your work group.
>>94761222buy the ghost arkUse a proxy as the nightbringer cause that model sucks ass.
>>94761225Tau are at their best when they're trying to do something retarded like negotiate with Tyranids or agree to cultural exchanges with Deldar.
>>94760316>ImperiumRare, frowned on by Commissars not for mistreatment but rather for wasting time. Would occur only in very fringe cases. An Inquisitor might get a kick out of doing it though.>ChaosDepends on the God they're following. Khorne would frown on it for being a waste of time. Tzeentch likely wouldn't care. Nurgle and Slaanesh would likely encourage it. Random renegades or Undivided groups would do so happily.>OrksThey might butcher a prisoner on the spot or otherwise torture them for amusement. Naturally rape isn't among their concepta of torture.>EldarThey never win, so they're never able to take prisoners>Dark EldarDepends on the situation. Most will wait until they're back in Commoragh. If the PDF has broken and there's no help in-bound for the prisoners, they might do some right then and there.>TauStrict rules against mistreatment of prisoners.>Necrons/NidsThey don't take prisoners.
>>94761225>racial in born fear against """intolerance""" due to the Mont'au.that's not how shit works, at all
>>94761237>>Necrons/Nids>They don't take prisoners.They both do sometimes, for studies and experiments.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94761218That actually sounds cool, I'll have to give that a try
>>94760906Bro Jaghtai Khan is her footstool.
>>94760148Yeah? I am surprised that the Necrotyr wasn't able to figure out how to bioengineer their shitty bodies out of sickness even when they had the power of maintain a galactic empire.
Since we are getting a Gundam table top game, will we finally see Taufags get expelled and stop seeing their cringy coomer shit?
>>94761222Get the arc. You can always proxy the nightbringer or buy one from a recaster.And maybe we'll get a new version somewhere in the future, but probably not too soon.
>>94760944Who's more of a gorilla pimp, Vect or Bike?
>>94761258Well if we want to look into the oddball cases;>NecronsMight take prisoners to dissect or enslave. Generally frowned on among most dynasties though.>NidsDepends on the situation. Most of the time Hormagaunts and Rippers will simply eat potential prisoners and carry the biomass that way. Sometimes the Nids will drag or march prisoners to the acid baths to melt them down.
>>94760148IIRC the Tau actually have a cultural aversion to life-extension technology. They'll do it a little bit, but they don't want immortal heroes, their collectivist mindset makes them not particularly fond of singular persons that are elevated above the group.
>>94761295>Generally frowned on among most dynasties though.Harvests are actually standard practice when a dynasty wakes up: send the troops, kill as much as possible, capture everything else, dissect and study whatever the fuck is occupying your turf, then by the time the rest of the dynasty wakes up they're up to date on what to do and who they're dealing with
>>94761284It's heavily implied that the disease put on the Necrons was done by their C'tan-infested Star and may very well have been some unbreakable nightmare curse rather than something we can fully understand.
>>94761286You will instead get gundams used as proxy for tau suits.
>>94761286Nah, I don't like mecha but I still like the Tau, they're the most tactical faction in a game where normally people duel with swords like it's medieval france.
>>94761286Not if the Gundam game doesn't come with bug tiddy alien girls. That's the niche tau occupy.
>>94760087It's unironically better than 40k.
>>94761286Nogaems sisters coomers are way more obnoxious desu
>>94761286tau have been in the game longer than you've been alive
>>94760087Huge meme. 10th ed is already hilariously simple, why would you want to dumb it down even more?
>>94760058>Be Slaughth>Assimilate the Rangdan (presumably)>Nearly kill two Marine Legions>Refuse to leave>Assimilate Calixis instead>BTFO's Chaos in a future timelineThey can't keep getting away with this.

>>94761366There isn't a single sister coomer on this entire fucking board. It's very disappointing.
>>94761378>10th is not simpleTelltale sign that someone has not played another wargame before in their life.
What does Abaddon need to do to feel like a serious threat? I feel like the bare minimum is have him kill a Primarch, like Dorn or Russ or somebody like that.
>>94761391post games
>>94759966>TQ:The Warp honestly. It is the psyche made manifest, and consequently nearly unbound by the laws of physics. It is the fucking Looney Tunes dimension, with all the terrible wonder and whimsy that entails
>>94761394Abaddon not being a threat is a fucking retarded meme that your nogames dumbass fell for
>>94761378Have you played literally any historical
>>94761404okay /u/shaiskais whatever you say
>>94761394Didn't he nuke cadia and tear the galaxy in half in the process only recently?
>10th isn't simpleDo zoomers really
>>94761410I'm not trans so no
>>94761394It's a rigged game because after years of GW mishandling the fandom's reaction you're almost guaranteed to be in camp Abaddon solos the setting or Abaddon gets solo'd by a grot. So many people are angry (rightfully so) at ol' Abby that they refuse to take him as seriously as the authors already do.Remember the golden rule, if [faction/character I like] does something retardedly OP then it's cool and makes me like them, if [faction/character I don't like] does something retardedly OP then it's bad writing and makes me hate them more.
>>94761412Who
>>94760058Honestly I'd love to see more of the Q'Orl, though realistically they'll never get models unless they somehow got integrated by the Tau.
>>94761378How the fuck is 10th not simple, GW has sanded away all the crunchiness of the game. Admittedly that started with 8th
>>94761319C'tan are not magical or psychic right?
>>94760058I really like things that made the halo devices. Xeno corruption is kinda rare outside of genestealer cults
>>9476137510th is gay4th edition is simple
>>94761422Yet you play 40k
>>94761443>n-no uuh oh historicaltroon melty
>>94761388That's because sisters has a reputation of being the faction for trannies now
>>94761443He didn't say Magic The Gathering
>>94760149>even pointing me in the direction of the PDF share thread or telling me too look in the PDF repository is enoughI think you have answered you own question. Perhaps just a simple archive search is enough
>>94761458I mean both are filled with trannies to be fair
>>94761455Sisters would unironically strap troons into Mortifiers for being such decadent Chaos-inviting faggots. They're the most based faction in the setting.
>>94761434No but the way they operate in physics is so complex as to be indistinguishable from magic. The Flayer Virus is one example of their work and another is literally erasing people from the timestream as if they never existed.'No magic or psychic,' is easy when your definition of advanced physics is decided by a bunch of Dr. Who fans.
i should start pestering some of my friends into playing more this year or even this decadelast year we had our first actual game in 13 years even though we talk about warhammer every single day online and that turned into drinkin the whole weekendsome anons complain about not getting a game in every single week
>>94761394Nothing. It's not that Abaddon isn't a serious threat (on paper), it's that the power balance of the setting requires Abbadon to perpetually be close to victory.The problem is that this causes stories in the setting to have to write around the multiple existential threats the Imperium faces (Chaos, Nids, Necrons) in order to tell another story.Honestly they should've done more to write Abaddon as a victim of his own success post- 13th Black Crusade; he had no plan to divide up raiding territories and corrupted worlds between the Black Legion's warbands after breaking the Cadian Gate. Since Chaos Lords are universally power-hungry opprotunists, it would make sense that Abaddon's armada of traitors would break up to take whatever is unclaimed.
>>94761455The one tranny at my FLGS plays tau
>>94761468The Imperium doesn't really care if you're trans, so long as you're useful to the war machine, they're actually quite tolerant in that way.

>>94761519They're not done yet :(
>>94761526>everybody telling me I'm wrong is the same personI accept your concession
>>94761522
The Icarus Expansion, formerly known as the 6th sphere of expansion, is one of the greatest tragedies to strike the T'au Empire and has also been suggested as the catalyst of the Earth Caste Uprising.With the main leaders of the Ultramarines currently off crusading, the Ethereals set their sights on the Ultramar sector. Intended to be the T'au's big entrance onto the galactic stage, the preparations were focused on overwhelming firepower and the superiority of T'au technology. While the young empire has had many encounters with the Astartes, they did not quite understand the significance of the Ultramar system. Over 15 Ultramarine successor chapters brought the full brunt of their chapter's fleets, along with a significant Imperial Navy contingent. Such things were anticipated by the Ethereals, but they did not foresee the complex politics of the local sectors. The Aeldari, nominally allies of the T'au, sabotaged their fleet and inflicted great damage in return for a significant number of the Imperium's captured Soulstones. While the front was reinforced, this left the T'au's supply lines woefully unprepared for Drukhari raiders, who were free to take billions of captives from under defended worlds. Worse yet, the timing of the expansion coincided with a chaos incursion, lead by the Emperor's Children, against the forces of Ultramar, and the T'au were in the way, one of their newly conquered worlds turning into a malevolent Daemon World mere weeks after invasion. Sustaining heavy losses on all sides, despite the destruction of two Fortress Monasteries, the T'au were pushed further and further back. Such rampant fighting attracted the ever-curious Orks, their arrival a poor omen.The very public failure of the 6th sphere, followed by the Ethereals blaming failures in battlesuits, led to the Earth Caste Uprising. Several prominent T'au scientists left for the Farsight Enclaves and the loss in agricultural productivity starved billions.
>>94761204I think that might be it. Wonder if GW is aware of the mistake.
>>94761535lmao you're not fooling anyone
Best non-ork vehicle Ork kit?

>>94761543What book?
>>94761582okay
>>94761469fair enough, still don't get how the Eldar's top dogs and by that I mean deities couldn't help much against the Ctan until they were enslaved and all of that talk
Snce game posting's up here's a dinky little 1000p game from a bit ago.We kinda just wanted to throw the Land Raiders at each other.I need to get around to painting that Lieutenant. Maybe tonight.

>>94761612>grey and/or unbased minis on both sides
>>94761629I can't believe Eldar are disgusted more by humans over these fuckers
>>94761622>C'tan counter warpother way around, the warp was particularly effective against the necrons and the ctan which is why the old ones escalated the conflict with psychic races/weapons while the ctan and necrons developed the first warp nullifying pylons
>>94761616They did, Khaine and the Nightbringer in particular beat each other so hard that they took on aspects of each other, for example. War In Heaven was so fucked that any one of the factions then could've solo'd the entire 40k setting now so even Gods fighting each other wasn't enough.
>>94761419Zoomers don't even have the patience to paint miniatures. Their opinions on the game are worthless
>>94761643At least he has some painted models unlike your ass
>>94761647are they effective? do they have limits?
>>94761644It makes more sense when you realize the average human in the Imperium looks like this
>>94761643Feel free to post your fully painted army in a game
>oh no, I'm cooooping
>Go into a GW shop in 2006>Multiple staff, games going on, people chatting about lore, people painting and building, people enjoying the hobby, and there are always staff on hand to help, multiple people in-store>Go into a Warhammer shop in 2024>1 staff member being monopolised by 1 autist with no social awareness, maybe 1 other person in the shop looking at stock before leaving. >No games, nobody painting, completely dead otherwise, also no prices visible for some reasonWhy are they like this now? Is it really because GW decided to move to 1-manager stores to save on rent after the 2008 financial crisis? It just feels like it's killed the local hobby scene if there is no FLGS nearby.
>>94761665Ridiculously effective, a single array of Pylons was enough to implicitly reduce the size of the Eye of Terror a little. The ones the Necrons are building now are much less effective but are still plunging entire systems into psychic voids where people's conciousness turns to mush and it's almost impossible to use any Warpstuff. The Imperium's miracle juice ala relics and Sister powers seem to be immune to it for some reason but it's handedly thrashing anything else that relies on the Warp.Or did until Vashtorr flipped the switch.

L O L
>>94761804So, no models?
>>94761786They are pretty cool. Not sure if they are legal to run in current edition however.
>>94761805>why doesn't the second least popular Imperium faction get 40 subfactions instead of just 4?it is a mystery
>>94761707Where is this? I’ve heard this repeated dozens of times here but I’ve never seen a Warhammer store that didn’t have some tables set up for games. The lack of staff is noticeable though. That’s just corporate “efficiency” though.
>>94761804>he has no modelsShocking
>>94761803These all look gay your marines look like walking pool noodles
>>94761804>asked to post models>errr but why no u paint Shockingly the fag has no models
Is that zoomer still crying because someone said 10th is simple?
>>94760316Eldar prisoners are turned into high-quality servitors to serve Governors or high ranking military officers.
I want to do a new army after a long time away from Space Marines. Was thinking a cursed founding Blood Angels successor where they tried mixing a touch of Night Lords genetic data into the Blood Angels matrix. I know the Lamentors are the famous cursed founding Blood Angels successors but ifaik it was never stated anywhere they were the only ones. Idea would be to blend blood angels and night lords models to get a heavy Von Carsteins in SPAAAAAACE type vibe and their cursed founding attribute is they are essentially full on vampires without the angel aspect anymore. Renegade chapter, but Imperial aligned, like the old Relictors. Hopefully build the models in such a way that most of the units can run as a CSM force or a regular BA successor. Are these archaic, hooded style jump units from a kit somewhere or are they all STLs? Either is fine, just trying to source them. Already found a bunch of STLs for the winged helmets and fang iconography and all that.
>>94760389That's a cool setup. Here's some I painted, I don't have a pic of it without models on it.
>>94761821Mine has one table that's only big enough for killteam. And then the tiny demo table. And there's only one staff member so if she's sick the store doesn't open
>>94761840Can't help you're incapable of posting your games, let alone your models
>>94761689They still have games and painting, but due to limited staff it’s definitely something you have to plan around/call ahead for. My local GW store only has room for two games tables, and I think I’ve only seen one game being played during visits.
>>94761842>hey guise guess what.. my snowflake super unique chapter has....traitor geneseed
>>94761803Kino, I like top righ
>>94760389Old armorcast titan. My favourite terrain at my favourite store.
What is the most un-interactive, unenjoyable army to play against? I want the mono-red of mtg equivalent in 40k where the opponent is not having any fun and walks out of the experience unhappy.
>>94761760and yet she's absurdly ugly in every single one of them
>>94761842I think the hooded jump packs are from HH, probably nightlords. The generic Mk6 jump packs also look kinda similar but aren’t as exaggerated.
>>94761867i think they read the manual wrong or maybe it didnt come with one
10th has a lot more simplicity in list building but far more complexity when it comes to actual tactical depth on the tabletop compared to 7th and beforeThis is pretty inarguable
>>94761873Custodes
>>94761873Knights or early edition Eldar. With knights, you either have enough AT or you don’t. For Eldar they’re mostly fine now so I don’t really have a complaint. I’m just still butthurt.
>>94761840You've never played a game of 40k in your life
>>947618737th ed Eldar or 6th ed Demons are the peak of non-interactive gamestates
>>947618840/10
>>94761812Not that anon, but it’s a Plague Marine Champion, a Sorceror/Tallyman, and an Icon Bearer. Pretty insane value for characters, even if you can’t do much with the extra Plague Marines.
>>94761863... that's sort of the point of all cursed founding chapters. Do you hate the well-established lore of the cursed founding which was specifically written to facilitate this? Or do you hate I want to economize by making a renegade loyalist chapter so I can play two books with one army? Serious question. I don't care if you don't like the background of the chapter, I would only tell another player if they were curious for some reason. Which most socially functional people are when they see a heavily converted army. I guess you don't get out much :(Thanks for providing zero value or useful contribution though.
>>94761836KEK
>>94761873Knights. You aren't playing 40K when your opponent is playing Knights. You're just stat-checking.
>>94761697fuck did he do?>>94761788very confident in him?
>>94761875>a girl in warhammer is uglywow, shocker
how many cadians does it take to take over Canada
>>94761818Wasn't sub factions anon, was just ways to paint or build your troops. Now Guard has no troops, just bespoke kill teams
>>94761629if you're a heretic greater goodcel with no balls (ethereals took them away), you cope and pretend those dried up husks are hotif you're a warrant of tradepilled xenofucker you go for eldar, just like Lord-Regent intended simple as
>>94761904How many sleeping pills do you need to take to fucking kill yourself?
>>94761907retard
>>94761873Knights. Its literally just a stat check. It isnt a cool boss battle. If they dont have enough anti vehicle they simply lose. If they take too long to kill them they lose. Insane such shit game design gets a pass
>>94761894>here's 3 invisible wraithknights that kill everything and can't be shot at or wounded by most things in the game>they destroy 1 unit a turn and can't be tarpitted the choice to use a single strategem has a lot more tactical thought than a lot of 7th ed games
>>94761873knights and custodes
>>94761916I may be retarded but that doesn't make me wrong
>>94761896>instaseethe rant post
>>947619045.
Is there strategic depth to orks? I like the models
>>94761873Definitely knights. It's quite literally just a stat check army with no actual strategy required to play against them. You either have the stats to table them and win or you don't and lose. Neither experience is fun.I made a post a few days ago about how taking a knight down to 1 wound barely does anything to the knight's effectiveness, where with any infantry squad being taken down to 1 wound renders that unit almost entirely useless. It's completely retarded how they're implemented in their current state.
>>94761924Ok, I'll do it better for him.>no model is mad again. Read a wiki before opening your mouth.
>>94761930there's no strategic depth to 40k
>>94761803I like top right the most, it provides nice contrast without being distracting
>>94761930Everything is braindead outside of thousand sons and admech
Sure is Australian summer hours in here
Damn knights truly are the most hated army lmao.
>>94761896>... that's sort of the point of all cursed founding chaptersNo, it isn't
>>94761899>very confident in him?Ynnead isn't even a real God. Nagash ate like a dozen Death Gods when he nuked Shyish.
>>94761803Top right
>>94761949Yes it is.
>>94761930A touch. It's a run up and bash face army but knowing when to use your Waaagh is pretty critical. Easier to pilot for me than my sisters or even space marines tho
>>94761945Tzentch versus emps?
>>94761836>instantly seething at orange/tealhow do you not get tired of this
>>94761930Strategy for Orks is starting the game by staging a "go turn" (your Waaagh! turn, if you will) by trying your best to get board control while remaining relatively safe, and then on your "go turn" you throw all caution to the wind and run everything directly at the enemy hoping to kill as much as possible and then stay stuck in with whatever is left alive. It all depends on that "go turn". If it works out you'll get a fun game and hopefully a win, but if you biff it then you've lost.Regardless Orks are probably one of the most fun factions in the game and I've not met a single person, online or otherwise, who dislikes playing against them.
>>94761629>"I don't like the other art, this one is better." >lololol what hilarious cope!!1!Is this what middle school is like these days? I don't have a pony in this race, but holy shit, the autism displayed here is palpable.
>>94761945Knights, Chaos Knights and Agents should have never been their own armies. If they were, it should have had forced infantry mixing (Agents are mainly deathwatch but get very cheap access to inquisitors, assassins and the like. Knights get squire infantry. Chaos Knights get cultists)The way that the Grotmas detachment made Knights work should be how they were designed in the first place. I'm honestly not against Knights being nerfed into a 30% winrate army and being enouraged to attach to real armies more
>>94761945Maybe for nogaemz, anyone who plays is aware that you beat them 99 times out of 100 by screening them and playing the objective
>>94761966>>94761960How is it compared to Worldeaters? I currently play them
>>94761836Post your DC slop so we can lmao
>>94761972World eaters are all go all the time. Orks have a definite spike. At the top of their game though, WE vs Orkz comes down to who charges first

>>94761983>world eaters are all go all the time>t. someone who has never used world eaters
>>94761930ish? they have a lot of different units, probably one of the most full rosters in 40k, with a lot of different unit types from melee horde to melee elite, infantry and cavalry and bikes and copters, ranged infantry, artillery tanks trucks and airplanes, buggies and speeders and trikes and walkers. they have basically every unit type in the game meaning you can employ all sorts of strategies with them if you buy the right things.buuuuuuuuuuuuuttheir internal balance is, and always has been, absolutely fucking TERRIBLE, some of the worst out of any army in the game, with some units completely useless, others strong, and you have a lot of redundancy where one unit is just a straight up better version of another unit that does more or less the same thing. also more often than not their best strategy just involves seeing how many green jungle booty boys you can cram down the opponents throat as quickly as possible. also their shooting is pretty much perpetually hamstrung by the ever present 5+ to hit that GW feels absolutely must be a part of their identity. so eh, yes and no
>>94761967anon is deeply uncomfortable with attractive women
>>94761985No clue, sorry. Not my army.>>94761972Not as tanky and you regularly have to punch up. You'll heavily struggle against vehicles (unless you've got breakas) and have some fun shooting options instead of just melee. You'll also enjoy a much larger and well-fleshed-out range.
>>94761992Knights have an unwinnable matchup when they fight my army (Marines)There's not much they can do to win and it's super boring because their army is 0 dimensional
>>94761983They both have to stage their go turn or theyre fucked
>>94761998I'd almost say Orks have better shooting because they have more shooty units but I forget that GW has been kinda flanderizing them>>94762005True but they don't really... Turn their melee on?
>>94760176Literally nobody, according to Lexicanum, probably just filler art in an old book that GW forgot they even published.
>>94761992They’re not oppressive. They just feel bad whether you’re winning or losing against them.
>>94761985Nta but they look like the apocalypse ones
>>94762007>+5>literally as bad as a guardsman>when they have a gun that spits out bullets
Time for me to start a new armyDo I get Chaos Daemons or Chaos Knights?
>>94762007Why did they remove badrukk bros...
>>94762018Looks like ffg rpg book art if I had to guess
>>94762043Guardsmen hit on 4s anon
>>94762007>how many green jungle booty boys you can cram down the opponents throat as quickly as possibleStill doable after pariah nexus?
>>94761880Thanks, I just checked. Doesn't look like they are part of that range. Also checked the Raven Guard, not there either. Also lol at literally none of the specific Night Lords stuff for HH being in stock. I think the gothic vaulted intake jet pack is from some unique special character, so I'll just go the STL route. Thanks>>94761949I mean, it was explicitly stated as such in WD and Chapter Approved. Why do you say it isn't? Maybe you have read something I haven't. >>94761958I would agree. Cursed foundings don't *have* to follow that mold (Like the Minotaurs don't, although their connection with Mars is probably heretical in it's extent) but the 21st founding was explicitly stated by the designers as facilitating using loyalist/chaos/renegade rules for a single chapter. >>94761924... so you've never played a single game of 40k, know any of the lore, or any of the history of the game itself. Being on this board seems like an unproductive use of your time.
>>94762044Depends, do you want a horde army where you build and paint a pile of similar looking dudes, or do you want a super elite army where you have more freedom to paint your guys differently
Is there anything more soulless than insisting orcs should have better shooting than 5+
>>94762060Grots should.
>>94762044From your picture it looks like what you really want is chaos sisters of battle, so start kit bashing.
>>94762055You talk like a fag and post mountains of text that no one gives a fuck about
seriously what did Ashtor do to the pylons?
You guys are not very nice. >T.lurker
>>94762064According to lore grots should hit on a 6. 5s are perfectly in line with how orc fighting is portrayed in lore
>>94761998FLASHGITZ
>>94762074this is unironically the worst general on /tg/, you really shouldn't be expecting much
>>94762070Except you who seems deeply emotionally invested in replying. Obsessed with it really.
>>94762081Ignore the DC slopper anon, he does this sometimes
>>94762076>t loreletGrots are kunnin, they have much better aim than Orks because they... bother to aim.
>>94762070Why don’t you try suckstarting a loaded shotgun and let us know how it goes.

Damn that guy got really upset that someone insulted his OC do not steal traitor geneseed loyalist chapter didn't he
>>94762106Uh oh low effort shitstirrer melty
>>94762074Sorry that it is that way. I try to conduct myself nicer than most of the rabble here.
>>94762110>>94762081Samefag
>>94761873Knights I understand, but there's a lot of salty custodes opponents here
>>94762106Nta but Is there any way to execute traitor legion geneseed chapters right without it being cringe?
>>94762089I dunno what you're arguing about, but I want Alexstrasza to sit on my face.
>makes orks look like dogshit in your pathHeh.. no need to thank the ctans
>>94762118That's not what samefag means
>>94762074This is a relatively civilized thread right now. You should see the place when one of our resident schizos has a meltdown
>>94762127never just say they're loyalist traitor geneseedhave it be vaguely implied at best
>>94762127Yeah by making it ambivalent where their geneseed comes from instead of straight up saying ITS TRAITOR GENESEED, WERE DARK BADASSES BUT ALSO GOOD GUYS
>>94762137does the wooden boxes anon frequent 40kg
>>94762137>This is a relatively civilized thread right nowno it's not
>>94762138>>94762140Thanks guys.Now how does a guard regiment descended from one of the solar auxilia from hh still carrying their martial traditions sound?
Im kitbashing some orks to make their gunsEVENLOUDAwhats the opposite of a silencer? I dont know anything about guns
>>94762153Loudener
>>94761243It absolutely is. It's the entire cornerstone of their civilization. >>94761629>>94761760Shadowsun is supposed to look like a 56 year old Vietnamese woman (facially). If you know, you know.
>>94762145I am not seeing any primaris versus manlet shit flinging, culture war shit nor B*n schizo so it looks pretty peaceful to me
>>94762153
>>94762153Make sure you put these on Kommandos
>>94762161Primaris flinging would be better over imagine anon call outs
>>94762161The scale change was an improvement, firstborn look like fucking clowns
>>94762158My wife literally looks like thatShe looks like a troonI cant talk because im a fat balding fuck
>>94761945they need gw to wake the fuck up and make their rules more interesting and interactive than a bog standard unit profile
>>94762173>the enemy can't hear you sneaking behind them over all the gunfire
>>94762178Thank you anon, very cool.
>>94762161it's really sad that's how low the bar is set
>>94762183Give each limb a toughness and associated stats/attacks. Give it armor panels that can come off. Give them a machine spirit core overload abilityLiterally anything to make them more interesting to fight.
>>94762178>firstborn look like fucking clownsThen you should feel represented and love them
>>94761992anon didn't ask which army is the most oppressive, he asked which army is the least interactive and enjoyable to play against
>>94762181God is good (great even, some kind of Greater Good) in finding the capacity to create such perfect unions. Even the fifty six year old chinaman adjacent rice farmer is resplendent when garbed in the Tau'va.
>>94762183GW doesn't like interactivity, the loud competitive players hate it and it also makes the game harder to learn for new players
>>94762178Too bad they didn't stop with a scale change
>>94762197I need a tau gf bros...
>>94762191So basically make them like Battletech
>>94762200>tfw I'm safe from tau fever because I'm into feetfeels good man
>>94762178>>94762161>>94762177>>94762194Firm Reminder: The Leagues of Votann (nee:Squats) were released ONLYENTIRELY FOR THE SINGULAR REASONto mock the removal of the Firstborne.Squats are the same scale as the Firstborne, and to be "Squatted"... well.......
>>94762204
>>94762194Found the butthurt grognard Don't you have a Nazi army to be painting for Bolt Action or something?
>>94762212I have a nazi army and i play black templarsBut i am no clown
>>94762209retard
>>94762212Nah waiting for the DKoK release. Chuds won btw.
>>94762217God firstborn look terribleNo wonder GW upscaled these motherfuckers
>>94762200>>94762204I also agree that the ancient china man were not only prescient but aesthetically superior in demanding that their women's feet be bound and mutilated into a more pleasing form.Not as based as the open bio lab mutant GF that early Indo-Aryan's could parade around thanks to the Ganges, but still pretty fucking based.Gentle reminder duex: Farsight is supposed to be some kind of Gilgameshian Indo Aryan philosopher king.
>>94762216>I have a nazi army and i play black templarsYou don't have either of these things
>>94762209
>>94762204Ah, an Eldar Enjoyer.
>>94762227Is emps really a turk?
>>94762235proto-turk
>>94762235he's from before the turks existed
>>94762233Describe the pussy smell NOWI need it so bad bros.... im so fuckin lonely
>>94762227>Gentle reminder duex: Farsight is supposed to be some kind of Gilgameshian Indo Aryan philosopher king.That was Eldanesh, anon.

>>94762225Trying too hard to fit in anon
>>94762241Like honey and cinnamon, with a dash of garlic.
>>94762242Yes, the Aeldari's bioweapon created race, the Tau, are being puppeted as a real time theatrical recreation of their mythological figures.
>>94762246no
>>94762241Bags of salty coins and milk
>>94762241You don't know what pussy smells like?
>>94762246Maybe depending on what it is and your threshold for what constitutes as usable
>>94762241Literally ass.I cant imagine eldar smelling good. Id say something fishy or rotten or like someone shat out hot cheetos but havent flushed in hoursNow tau women on the other hand. Magnifique.
What do you guys do when someone deploys unpainted minis? Personally I just have them bend over and pull down their pants so I can spank them. I give four spanks for every unpainted mini deployed. Five spanks if it's a chaos player.
Is this a stupid time to get the CSM codex? Are we halfway towards a new edition?
>>94762286it's always stupid to buy a codex now
>>94762281>cant imagine eldar smelling goodAnon they LITERALLY exude a pheremone that makes them attractive to humans.
>>94762284I sweep their minis off the table and i get another opponent they usually dont do shit cuz im 5'10
>>94762284i ask them what their newest model is and kill that one first, preferably before they get the chance to do anything with it
>>94762284why would you reward them?
>>94762289Why would they want monkeigh to fuck them?
>>94762292>they usually dont do shit cuz im 5'10so...average height? is that supposed to be intimidating?
>>94762248how in the living shit did he do that? and to all of them? can it be reversed or fixed or something?
>>94762292>5'10"Kek
>>94762303The opposite, they see a manlet and don't even feel like hurting him
>>94762241A little bit of pissKind of a sweet invisible smell its hard to describe
>>94762286Buying any codex ever is stupid. Any codex that wasn't acquired as an incidental part of a value box or a second hand lot is a strong indication of stupidity.
>>94762284>What do you guys do when someone deploys unpainted minis?Give them -10vp and try my best to beat them by less than 10vp so it hurts more
>>94762318>>94762288I cant listbuild in the app though
>>94762292I know you’re memeing but it is shit like this that is my motivation to lift. So I can get banned from the lgs for beating up a spastic who fucks with my models.
>>94762322Use new recruit m8
>>94762299YouJustKnow
>>94762318t. poor
>>94762308>and to all of them?no, just enough to pour his chaos forces into the warzone where previously they couldn't access it or were severely hampered, we're yet to see what happens next
>>94760058
>>94762323>getting violent with someone who's trying to teach someone to hobbyI bet you play WE
>>94762322you should listbuild on paper and draw your dude next to the list
>>94762336Necrons better figure out a way to stop him or else this guy might rise and become a fucking game changer, not just to them but allChaos might win...
>>94762292If you did this to me and you think like this. I would go to my truck, get a chain and wrap it around my fist and suckerpunch you in the back of the head
>>94762339No I play guard. I only intend to break a player if they fuck with my models like breaking them in a spergout. And to mog the players at the lgs.And to no longer be specifically sneered at because the lgs is located next to a gym.
>>94762354>>94762351>hurting people for no reason
>>94762356>for no reasonIt is proper retribution upon anyone who breaks their models. Especially painted ones.
>>94762356Ok lets say i sweep your army off the table too, we fair?
>>94762323Noone fucks with anyone's models, that's some made up greentext bait for tourists
>>94762322Using the app is a confirmation of stupidity.GW models are already on the borderline, their supplemental junk is far beyond the pale. We're civilized, self sufficient people, we use New Recruit and Wahapedia for these things.
>>94760316in-universe, eldar trigger the fuck out of the uncanny valley in humans because their features are TOO perfect...and there's a reason eldar call humans mon'keigh.
>>94761992I hate that Kasumi had to be the designated footage girl
>>94762364I had a player snap my raider mast by accident
>>94762372That's not the same thing as intentionally breaking someone's models
>>94762364It does happen but rarely. My lgs in its five years of operation that I visit only had it happen once. The offender was an eldar player. His picture took by a staff’s phone is still taped to the desk so the employees can look out for him.
>>94762351No you wouldn't you'd moan like the sissy you are and jack off to it later faggot
>>94762351Does your truck look like this?Do you play eldar?
>>94762344necrons are not foreshadowed as being in control of the situation, caught between different enemy forces and a brewing civil conflict, unfortunatelyunless GW wants to give them some new cool models representing the advancements they had in studying human pariahs, which may justify a pushback, but nothing is on the horizon on that front, unfortunatelychances are the warzone will be resolved anticlimatically with something like>imperials do this! and then that! and then some! buy the new marines!>but vashtorr was actually pursuing a super secret mission to retrieve a super secret artifact and now that he's got it he's leaving, bye>see you in 3 years when we retread the same narrative again!
>>94762364There was an IG dude at my LGS who'd """accidentally""" knock forgeworld models onto the floor all the fucking time when he rolled poorly and got banned after he made a point to step on one when it didn't shatter
>>94762393>most respectful IG player
>>94762351The fact that you didn't read this as an obvious joke and got legitimately angry implies you are probably too autistic to handle a confrontation of any sorts
>>94762372>not magnetizing
>>94762393Did everyone stand up and clap when he got banned
>>94762393Theres an IG player who keeps talking about rapefugees at my store. My store is in the US
>>94762368>tfw it only now occured to me mon'keigh is word play on monkeyam I fucking retarded holy shit
>>94762411yes yes I know you people who've never touched a model let alone set foot in a gameshop think nothing ever happens
>>94762393Glad he got banned.>>94762401If guard players are like that then I aspire to be the exception that proves the rule.
>>94761992>>94762370>posting KasumiWouldn't Megu be a more appropriate hot spring girl to post? She has a flamer after all.
>>94762418For some reason theyre the biggest assholes in 40kNext would be eldar playersThen space marinesNicest would be orks
>>94762388that's lame dude
>>94762368>>94762414Mon'keigh actually derives from an ancient alien species of barbarians and enslavers that the Eldar fought long ago.
>>94762421God I want her so bad I don't care if she's shit
>>94762393A guard player did the "tanuk tanuk za za za" dance in front of me. Im arab. I told him im not ever playing against him and he said "good cuz ya stink"Fucking hate gaurd players mateNo sense of decency
>>94762368because it's the name of a barbaric minor xeno race and because they think humans are ugly? or maybe it's just the imperium, the last couple of threads did discuss more about the ugly part
>>94762289They were made for human men.
>>94762450Except it's actually clearly supposed to be monkey
>>94762457Lmao
>>94762460>>94762450that, and the eldar view humans as primitive animals due to their lack of psychic capability and how simple their technology is.
>>94762457lolrekt
Killteam grey knights
>>94762457>when a steel legion cant take the catachan bants
Do any of the guard kits come with a whistle by any chance?
>>94762486BanebladeYou have to carve the barrel
>>94762486Bring your own and get kicked out of your LGS :^)
>>94762457based as fuck lmao
>>94762486I will just bring a real whistle to game night and blow it really loudly everytime I move squads forward.
>>94762388It's gonna be some stupid Imperial wank, I have 0 faith in GW after they retconned Taros.
>>94762486>mfw I can Earthshake my opponent's whole fucking army and magdump their melee goons safely now2/3rds of my LGS is about to get FUCKED
>>94762457Same energy as that clip where that Irish kid calls some Pakistani kid a slur and when the kid freaks out and asked him if he called him a slur the Irish kid goes>ye because ya are one>next question>if you have one
>>94762486>>94762505>>94762515The explosion of a grenade thrown by an officer or NCO was used to signal the start of an assault too, so you can substitute the whistle for a grenade.
>>94762515Bring fart spray and everytime you declare charges you can accurately simulate your guardsmen filling their pants with shit by spraying it into the air
>>94762486That's a hell of a strat even at 2CP, because it's affecting the entire table.I guess it depends on what keywords certain units get, like Scions and Kaskrins.
>>94762583I don't think guardsmen would do that, I was a soldier in my youth and we were told to empty bowels and bladder BEFORE any combat.
>>94762583>His guardsmen don't take a ton of laxatives and go on an all liquid diet the days before a battle so they don't shit thenselvesFaggot
>>94762583BASEDAnd make sure to paint the piss in front and shitstains in back
>>94762586Let's hope the move-move strat is stronger as well. The xenos will learn to fear the human wave.
I didn't know commissars got their own tank paintscheme, that's pretty neat. Also the guy who painted that is a nutcase for picking out every single rivet in gold over top of a clean black
>>94762592What about long term warfare? How do you shid and piss without being spotted by thermals
>>94762592At some level that makes sense, but I doubt that it squares with the reality of trench warfare.
>>94762599>Only the Commissar gets plasmaHmm.
is there a white oil based ink out there that isnt the ammo mig oil brusher ones?
>>94762615Downey
>>94762592Tbf you prolly weren't deployed on the front lines for literal months/years on end or told to charge bungalow sized bugs that shoot swarms of bees that eat flesh
>>94762615Titanium white oil paint is really economical, there's no reason to buy thinned oils
>>94762624i didnt realise they did oil based inks, i cant find much about it
>>94762599Yeah it's been a thing since at least Imperial Armour Volume 1.
i hate building models that are too posable i always feel like i'm going to end up with an ugly or nonsensical pose
>>94762662That's a (you) problem. My favorite part of (most) space marine models is figuring out good poses for the arms.
>>94762648Penis gun
I am going to preorder the kriggers even though I have a literal hundred other models to paint
>>94762486Will the british ever grow past the first world war?
>>94762665I don't think anyone has problems building space marines, I think he's talking about models with tonnes of articulation points like nudreads, wraithknights, or other kits featuring posable ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders, elbows, wrists etc..
>>94762323That’s what you said last time you schizo.
What would an Eldar in power armor look like? Could Eldar make wraithbone power armor with some kind of spirit enhanced strength or durability?
>>94761992
>>94762705They genuinely don't believe they need it.
Which model has the best breasts
>>94762718Not mine but alarielle pretty stacked
>>94762732Have another
>>94762740>>94762732>AoS mogging 40k again
>>94762740holy shit this one is fantastic, saved for reference when I finally get Alarielle for my trees
>>94762746I have seen some of its modelsmakes me sad that most of their shit is cooler as a sci fi fan
>>94762782>most of their shitnot at allthey have standouts that mog 40k, their standard is MUCH lower
>>94762457>>94762393Post more that guy stories
>>94762782Having less restrictions on the design team has lead aos to having some of the coolest models gw has ever produced
>>94762486>2CP for an officer to blow a whistle and order his men to run in a straight line.Truly the imperium's tactical insights are peerless
>>94762813If we run in a straight line the enemy will be confused and miss
>>94762018>>94762047They're from the Liber Xenology book, and they have information. Justice for the Oretti, too pure for a grimdark universe
>>94762640I just want to get it without having to wait weeks after ordering it, as I'm struggling to find the ammo one in stock anywhere within my country
WORST armies for kitbashing?
>>94762718Amallyn Shadowguide has pretty big tits.
>>94762858The one you collect
>>94762750You'd have to carefully remove the branches from her legs. Not the most difficult thing to do but it requires careful work to keep the legs smooth like that.
>>94762858Custodes probably. No interesting bits, everybody has the same shit, and all the armor is so covered in filigree you can't do any personalization on it because there's no empty space left
>>94762804I've posted this a few times but it lives rent free in my brain as the most unhinged interaction I've had in an lgs>6 of us playing custom free for all snowball fight rules set at lgs Christmas party>random 16 year old sperg with greasy hair enters>starts watching us completely silently>15 mins go by without him saying anything>suddenly pulls a full foot long meatball marinara from subway out of his pocket>begins eating it messily >marinara all over his hands and spread across his face almost up to his ears>somehow doesn't spill on anything>begins asking everyone at the table if he can pick up and look at their models one by one while reaching for them>everyone says no one after another>10 mins go by and he's almost done his sub>asks all 6 of us AGAIN if he can see our models while reaching for them>everyone says no again>goes back to eating his sub silently>finishes sub 5 mins later and then shoves the sub wrapper into his pocket, messy side out>walks out the door without saying anything>everyone dead silent completely dumbfoundedStands out to me as the weirdest situation I've run into at the lgs
>>94762861Built for Man of Iron cock (Isn't that just a dildo?)Either way good for her, glad we got on Eldar baddie who got a happy ending
>>94762839If you have a craft store anywhere near you they'll have tubes of titanium white oil for cheaper then you'd ever find online
>almost done with warboss, bretty good, hopefully Captain Armenius finds a way to kill himself >crimson fists omnibus is $262.28 usedI don't want to just buy a damn kindle I want to start my own little black library.
>>94762808It really is a shame that 40k seems to be so incredibly over-managed in the design department, basically every single one of GW's other ranges deliver loads of hits but these days mainline 40k is a slop factory half the time.
>>94762861>ab plate instead of tummy plateThat's a man baby
>>94762858Probably custodes due to being a unique size and having such a distinct style that it's hard to swap in parts from other kits
>>94762896Nah she's just rocking the old school style, everyone got ab plates back in the day (and it's surprisingly difficult to find a photo of one that actually shows it relatively clearly).
>>94762702>schizoYou know different people can say the same or nearly the same thing. Not a hard concept to comprehend.
>>94762808>oh cool, not very special but IS THAT A FUCKING GUY?!?!?!>>94762801regardless they have some very sick shit
>>94762923Party rockers in the gem!
>>94762858Demons. There's no kits to steal thematically appropriate shit from, outside of some WFB/AOS minis. And zero 3rd party support.
>>94762955>And zero 3rd party support.Other than just straight up using proxies.
>>94762894Killteam gets some of the best 40k sculpts while we get the blood angels and inquistor refresh
>>9476297340k gets awesome sculpts too, it's just marinefags and marine-adjacents who get shat on
>>94762973Necromunda too
>>94762976No, it's one single marine subfaction taht got shat on
>>94762973Such is the fate of all non-Eldar players.
>>94762973Please don't remind me.
>>94762993inb4 some fag starts defending those
>>94762982I was about to say, the Eldar players all seem pretty stoked on their newer 40K models. They are protected by GW's total disinterest in the faction keeping them from trying to get creative or redesign them in any way.
>>94762981and the inquisitorand deathwatch got shaftedand custodes got a shitty miniature
>>94762993You know, if I didn't know what these were supposed to be I don't think I would completely hate these models. Take it in a vacuum They're pretty cool if generic looking design. They're just not very exciting and look more like a battle line unit than an elite strike Force
>>94762982This reveal made me smile and i dont play eldarI hope my faction gets one as good
>>94762982I genuinely don't understand how eldarfags think these look goodis it just because they're faithful to the original sculpts? It's not like the original designs are anything good either
>>94763001it's not gw's disinterestjes goodwin genuinely considers eldar HIS armies and doesn't let anyone touch them
>>94762982Definitely one of the best refreshes in recent years. And the other refresh last edition wasn't too bad either. They've been eating very well lately.
>>94763017Do you have a single fact to back that ?up
>>94763017As he should. Same thing should have happened with Guard instead of the hodgepodge of designs we got.
>>94762993I really like the idea of Sanguinary Guard with spears. It's a pity those Sanguinary Guard look like such dogshit.
>marines have the primarchs and captains>guard has ciaphas cain>eldar has the phoenix lords>drukhari has vect, lelith>chaos has fabius bill, talos, the other half of the primarchs>tau has shadowsun, farsight, and the ethereals>necrons have trayzin and the silent kingDo orks even have noteworthy personalities? Or is it just random dudes name Sniggarot Assniffa?Same with space dwarves, do they have ANYONE?
>>94763025I once tried to headcanon my own eldar design and jes goodwin came to thow rotten eggs at my house
>>94762993Man I very rarely have strong opinions on sculpts because it's all taste but these are seriously painful to look at
>>94763042ghazkull
>>94762993Why do these look so bad when the eldar stuff looks so good?
>>94763042Just because you haven't been paying attention and don't know who Ghaz, Grotsnik, or Badrukk are doesn't make them "random dudes"But honestly I don't give a shit if they are, SCs are narrative cancer.
>>94763042Orks have Ghazghkull
>>94763042Ghazghkull is the most notable one. I believe most of the prominent books are about him. The Red Gobbo too, but that’s comedy more than anything.
>>94762808I member how they were afraid to put a close-up picture of that model. It came from pic related box and every model had a close-up photo on GW store but this one. I even sent a question to GW regarding that. I got a generic "Sorry but we don't have any pictures" response.
>>94763051Different teams on different projects lead to different outcomes in product quality
>>94763025NTA and the "doesn't let anyone touch them" part is probably a gross exaggeration, but the Eldar are 100% Jes Goodwin's darling babies, and I'd say it's more than a little coincidental that the favoured creation of one of GW's senior oldheads remains virtually unchanged 30 years later while almost literally everything else in the game has had fairly substantial changes over the years.
>>94763050>name a planet armageddonWhat the fuck did the imperium expect to happen? Its like naming a guatemalen orphan "rapeme" and sending him to catholic school
>>94763042Nazdreg used to be prominent but they don't like having more than one character for an archetype and he made the mistake of being in mega armour.
Did you know /tg/ talks about Eldar more than twice as much as Space Marines? I just thought that was interesting.
>>94763042Ghazkull (goffs) and badrukk (freebootas)
>>94763059Tbf it might be their most gratuitously gory models they've produced
>>94763071Now search for posts that contain 'marines' instead of the full name.
Are meganobs dreadnoughts or terminators?
>>94763078??? Terminators. They have a dreadnought, why would they also be dreadnoughts? They even already have mini-dreadnoughts.
>>94763042>votann>do they have ANYONE?lol no
>>94763071people don't normally call them anything other than marines in regular conversation
>>94763051The same gal sculpted all these
>>94763085Asking cuz they look like boxnoughts so i was confused
>>947630312e Guard was effectively uniform with the fatigues and all, and it was mostly weapons and pieces of wargear that changed. Like Tallarn and Steel Legion had tunics. Mordians and Praetorians had epaulets and different hats. Catachans took of the jackets. Stuff like that. In 3e they went all over the place from naked grandmas and Mad Max rejects to half-skitarii and near space marines (OG Elysians were just converted SM scouts).I think GW has given up on trying to make IG another SM where there's a core design with upgrade kits and regimental boxes, and instead they're just gonna be releasing full lineups for different regiments on a rotations, clearing old ones from the roster for new ones. Still better than 30k Army being stick with one regiment for everything and shitty token PDF rules that they don't even want to acknowledge half the time.
>>94763096Gal or gal (male)
>>94763096Lord solar might be one of the most boring sculpts on a horse gw has produced in a decade
>>94763096Leontus and Torquemada upset me greatly. Macharius and the old Torquemada exist as perfect fucking references and they screwed it up still.
>>94763096Lord solar made me not start guard
>>94763055
Sex with a xeno.
>>94763096They definitely share similar design language, even discounting the paint scheme similarities. I think I recognize some of the same face shapes and proportions in the Votann and World Eaters lines too (Eightbound in particular).
What the fuck is that face
>>94763112>>94763103Not a guard player but Lord Solar seems like a great excuse to custom sculpt or kitbash your own unique supreme commander character proxy.It is a pretty dull sculpt though, I admit.
>>94763096>woman sculptor screws up the badass space warrior men>completely nails the horseFigures.
>>94763121He's looksmaxxing via mewing
>>94763096How the fuck is it possible that someone at gw saw these sculpts and actually approved them
>>94763118No wonder the eightbound feel static
>>94763121That's a (M)Ork KruleMek
>>94763096You may be onto something here.
>>94763126Gw doesn't publish the sculptors names, you're getting mad at someone's fabrication
>>94763121Used up all his teef for the fancy gun
>>94763135Valrak said it was an armenian
>>94763093Weird that "marines" returns more results than "marine". I would have expected the latter to be more all-inclusive.
>>94763140>valrak
>>94763135I'm not mad, I don't play 3/4 of those armies anyway and I make a point of never using named characters with my Guard so I was never going to use Leontus no matter what. (I do genuinely really like his horse though.)
>>94763113Yea there's a bit of a Nazi motif in same RT and 2nd edition Ork models.
>guy wears a black t shirt>he smells like assExplain this phenom?
>>94763096That's bullshit but I believe it.
>>94763125probably, but he's counter to what a typical guard army wants. 12" move, giant base, can't go in transports. He's got three orders but his only other benefit is a vaguely useful combat profile and a pre-game redeploy.If I were to ever get horrible brain damage and want him in my army I'd have to convert some kind of little staff command car to even remotely fit with what I want in my army, since I have no rough riders to make the most of his actual stats.
>>94763169This is a really daring meme synthesis. Why Pancake Cat + Chernobyl?
>>94763141anyways here's a result no one should be shocked by
>>94763121You're thrown off by the lack of prominent teeth, but it's otherwise a normal ork head
>>94763181Oh it actually does look normal
>>94763160No idea but is it really so hard to take a shower before going out for these people? Why do they not bother?
>>94763177The top of a reactor looks like a pancake that's probably all the reason there is.
>>94763125>>94763172The CoS Freeguild Marshall makes a solid base for a proxy.
>>94763112>>94763125I don't think I've ever seen a Guard army that ran an off-the-shelf Lord Solar, it's always a proxy like that one Krieg Napoleon STL or "General/Commissar on a Centaur:
>>94763172>since I have no rough riders to make the most of his actual stats.Im not sure a single person in all of 40k has ever actually run him with rough ridersA big part of what made him great (and got him nerfed) was that he was the only model in the codex that could order certain units like baneblades and ogryns.So you always ran him with a command squad so you could use the command squad's radio.
>>94763125
>image limit New thread or wait until page 8?
>>94763232I'll permit it just this once, but only if you have a really good thread question that is sure to generate discussion.
>>94763211>he was the only model in the codex that could order certain units like baneblades and ogryns.would you believe I actually never read that correctly and just assumed he could only order regular units. I'm blaming the model being ugly for me not giving a shit while speeding over his sheet.
>>94763248Aesthetics are king. Can't blame you for that. I wouldn't use a meta -favorite unit if I thought it was ugly either.
>>94763254>>94763248Enjoy losingI will keep winning with my chad solar
>>94763260you own no models
>>94763188its a power move, their opponent cant think straight if they can smell shit all the time
>>94763260May I see it?
>>94763243"Who is <Your Dudes>'s daddy and what does he do?"
>>94763243Ok>>94763279>>94763279>>94763279
