>>94776608Grimdark is fun, but gets tiresome when it’s all there is. The funnier parts like orks are much more enjoyable.
>TQGrimdark
Should I get the new Jordans or should I pick up 2 troops instead?
>>94776633Grimdark is lame.
>>94776608They go hand in hand to make each other funnier. It's the shut marvel anti grimdark nu stuff like necrons helping the ultramarines or the them letting xenos help anywhere near a primarch let alone help to ressurect one or any over focus on heroes that's incredibly lame and ruins the great setting.
>>94776657No u
>>94776659This anon is objectively correct.
>>94776659this 100%
>>94776659>>94776670>>94776682tourist opinion
>>94776608Predictions for the preview next week?
>>94776644>lime sherbet shoesfucking why? what happens if its wet out and they get muddy? just pick up regular black running shoes
>>94776644Look like you took a pair of shaqnosis from Walmart and put them in the sun to melt like ice cream. Get two more warhammer kits
>>94776659Why can't Necrons and Ultramarines team-up, I mean I would prefer it was some random successor chapter. I think contriving a way for both parties to be locked in an arrangement where it is better to help each-other than sit down and let both of them die could be fun.>or the them letting xenos help anywhere near a primarch let alone help to ressurect one or any over focus on heroesoh... ew.
>>94776696I predict that we will see the models for all of these silhouettes
>>94776728wrong, the red one is HH admech and the reveal show has no HH.
>>94776728I like the idea of Lucius having 5 juice boxes instead of 3 like he used to.
>>94776697>Wearing the shoesAnon... sneakerheads put them on a shelf and collect them.
>>94776740It's a new model for Imperial Knights
>>94776696Age of sigmar will mog everything besides old world. Maybe tow will show cool rape beasts.
>>94776688Your opinion is shit
"Batched" up my last two Zoans. Someone a couple threads ago recommended I use a yellow drybrush over a white one for more of a glow effect, and I gotta say, fuckin good advice. Huge improvement. Just one Neurothrope to do and I'm on to my last two models for now!
>>94776748>sneakerheads put them on a shelf and collect them.Wow, sneakers are 40k for black people?!
Why do women do this?
>>94776750Interesting...one of you is a little bitchbaby faggot
is there an archive of stuff sarah kaiser has drawn for warhammer
>>94776779all women are literally gay
>>94776771He looks really cool, good job anon.
>>94776714What is it about space racism being funny that you don't understand? Necrons are supposed to be completely mad from getting permanently imprisoned by lovecraftian entities and be completely all in on eradicating all organic life which is utterly beneath them. With how big and varied the Imperium is it's obviously fine and cool if some humans work with xenos sometimes (and then be blammed if any proper members of the Imperium get any say in the matter) but the SPACE MARINES are suppose to be meditating on stuff like, “He who allows the alien to live, shares its crime of existence.” Catechism Of The Xenos: To Be Unclean, whenever they aren't killing xenos (or mutants or witches or the unclean).
>>94776779Is it bad that I like this?
>>94776779faust is extremely based
>>94776797Thanks, friend. My shit brush control is still showing up in a few splotches and rough edge highlights, but honestly, at table scale rather than photo scale, I'm pretty proud of these dudes. Very grateful to everyone who's given advice over the past week or so of me posting shit.
>>94776779Women really really really like men, a lot.
>>94776644If you're gonna be actually wearing them, buy the shoes. If you're just gonna leave em in a box to preserve the value, throw your wallet into a river and don't contemplate spending any money after that.
>>94776608>want to create SM chapter that unironically uses salt life fishing tshirt colors - salmon pink, orange, purple, and teals>obviously they must be from an ocean world>they will hunt the sea beasts for sport, and collect trophies from their kills>who already has bits with scale patterns? alpha legion and salamanders! ill use the salamanders as the founding chapter to avoid le loyalist traitor successor chapter meme>want to run a bunch of psykers, blood ravens are cool but i hate painting the bone white pauldrons. have the home planet near the plague stars to explain warp shenanigans creating psykers>come up with some lore where the founding members fell to nurgle worship and the recently arrived primaris reinforcements are now purging their forebears (gives me an excuse to print up the mezgike dredge marines)>fall into multiple rabbitholes on Lexicanum and 40k wiki>learn about the Dark Krakens>realize i basically just recreated the Dark Kraken chapter, but with psykers and traitorsFuck. I really want to try painting this scheme, but finding out /mydudes/ aren't as unique as I had hoped has taken the wind out of my sails. I might just paint them as Souldrinkers instead...
>>94776791>all women are literally gayNot all, some are into other women and thus straight
>>94776836All /dudes/ have already been done at this point. Just make /yourdudes/ the way you want so you love them.
>>94776836Just do it, sounds fun and nobody knows about those Kraken dudes anyway.
>>94776836whoops, forgot my image. stupid verification nonsense
>>94776659This is why I love basic bitch squaddies and the like rolling in gallows humour in the face of the most depressing shit imagineable.
>>94776836>orange>and tealsAAIIEEEE
>>94776847I think you should lean more heavily into teal to create a clearer contrast to the red-orange
>>94776608>>Thread Question>Do you prefer the grimdark tone or the more satirical side of 40k?remove the fun and you get trench crusaderemove the grimdark and you get star wars40k needs bothwhich is why orks is bestyou could have 40k with nothing but orks and it would still be 40k, but you wouldn't have 40k if you didn't have orks
this woman is both almost attractive but also equally awkward looking, do all British women belong to this enigmatic dichotomy
>>94776608>Do you prefer the grimdark tone or the more satirical side of 40k?Huh? Grimdark is satirical by nature
>>94776877No, most of them are just fuck-ugly. This is a British 11.
>>94776871>Those legsHmmm
>>94776804You mean to tell me if Tyrranids were on the verge of wiping a planet clear of all Imperial life and all Necron structures, the Space Marines couldn't understand "Shoot one xeno first, the other xeno second?" and the Necrons couldn't understand "Shoot one biological first, the other biological second?"Forcing two people who hate each-other to work together, all the while unrepentantly waiting to stab the other in the back is fun.
>>94776877Not all but many. Either way sugden’s personality is the best part.
>>94776847Yeah, those guys still sound and look dope, so just go for it. Not like there aren't already a bunch of borderline identical chapters out there anyways, anyone who pushes up their glasses to tell you how your guys actually aren't /your/ guys can be returned to the depths where he belongs.
>>94776877Inbreeding.
>>94776877Most are just plain ugly or badly disguised men in skirts. Suggy is somwhat uncanny but in a spicy way. Much like anya taylor joy.
>>94776889That depends entirely on the chapter and individual commanders. Some chapters, especially those far from imperial heartlands are a lot more willing to do the “live and let fuck off” bit as long as there isn’t an inquisitor around and they don’t think they’ll win.
>>94776883Rachel Riley is the hottest woman your country ever producedShe's a 10 and you'd think there would be other women to fill the gaps at 9, 8, 7 etc, but from what I've seen there's her, then there is a cliff down to nothing but 5s
>>94776869I definitely will on an actual model. I picked up the Vallejo game color "cool green" set and I love every damn color in this. Originally I thought about using a very dark blue like incubi darkness as my armor base color to play into the twilight/sunset color scheme, but teals are way too cool of a color to not use
>>94776896Samefag less permavirgin.
>>94776847Ooooh this is really subtle trolling
>>94776877Sugs, stop being weird. You are fucking hot and you know it.
>>94776877Everytime a woman does that with her eye make up it means she looks hideous without make upWhich is to be expected, she british
>>94776871One on the left is try hard edgefaggotry for shock value.One on the right is just faggotry for lulz.I despise both.
>>94776902wrong yet again! you must be terrible at life
>>94776897>are a lot more willing to do the “live and let fuck off” bit as long as there isn’t an inquisitor around and they don’t think they’ll win.Not even that more "They need to leave so I can go back to killing you"
>>94776904...im not though?
>>94776608>TQGrimdark is satirical.
>>94776786No, but you've made me remember to be sad that Eagle Ordinary was never finished.Archive.org seems to have all that was released of, her deviantart is called 'DamnTorren' and has a bunch of 40k stuff, the comics GW payed her to do should still be something you can find on the warhammer community site, and she used to have a twitter, but I can't find it anymore so it may have been deleted. I think that covers most everything.
>>94776924Of what?
>>94776889All sides are supposed to be too over the top retarded for things like that. I can see GW wanting to make it clear that that stuff is there to be funny and laughed at but there's ways they could do that without destroying the entertaining premise of the setting. Start adding some more silly stuff like what was all over oldhammer (but still managed to work with the grimdark) or show more of how much all sort of humans (that haven't deviated genetically more than things like ogryns, see, it's already funny) get along now that they all have common enemies and the imperial faith (besides when they don't)!
>>94776608I prefer the FUN side.Just hordes of Orks and Imperial Guard in an eternal grind forever. That's my 40k.
>>94776608>TQI like it so hilariously over the top grin dark that it circles around to being funny again.
>>94776917You're meant to, the point is to have both elements balancing each other
>>94776950I hope you like Hellraiser, too
>>94776935Instead of asking how is grimdark satirical, you have to ask how the different elements that make up 40k's grimdarkness are each satirical. The Ecclesiarchy being a satire of the Catholic Church and the Cult of Mars being a satire of religion in general, for example
>>94776934Remember the failed official webcomic?
>>94776847There's way too much variation going on with that scheme. Look at how official chapter colours are arranged and you'll see none of them do this thing where every plate is some alternating colour. There are good reasons for that, because it makes the marines look like clowns and it would be a nightmare to paint. It's a mistake people using a png template make because applying a colour is as easy as using the fill tool. And a mistake of children who just want to slap a bunch of bright colours onto their toys without any restraint.I'd recommend having only the pauldrons in purple, and at most one of the kneepads, then having all plates on the torso and limbs that dark teal. What you've done with the salmon is fine as a spot colour, though I'd avoid using it on the belt buckle, that should be teal as well, it's not a detail you want to be drawing focus too in the same way as the head and trim.
>>94777009>responding seriously to teal and orange anon
>>94776813I wouldn’t be surprised if she lurks here desu
>>94776980It technically rounded out with a lead in to the metaplot of Vigilus (remember Vigilus?), so it didn't really fail, but they definitely could and should have taken it way further than that.
My pile of shame is only ever growing anons. I’d stop but I’m addicted to haggling on eBay.
>>94777046It can be hard to let a good deal get away on ebay but that's no excuse
>>94777024That's not me, I'm painting my skittles
>>94777046>I’d stop but I’m addicted to haggling on eBay.Just change sides and haggle as the seller instead.
>>94777043felt like it couldn't ever hope to keep up with gw's metaplotand didn't have enough jokes to begin with
>>94777046Fuck, same boat brother. I didn't mean to start guard, but I've somehow accumulated 1500 pts of them over a couple of months and just over £100. I don't mean to keep starting armies but these deals are too damn good.
>>94777064I would but I figure I’d get ripped off if it isn’t in person
>>94776939>Every character everywhere is too retarded for that>This is supposed to be a good thing
>>94777090How the fuck would you get ripped off in real life you'd just get mugged
>>94777103I mean the Imperium being retarded is kind of the point, you're not supposed to cheer for them
>>94777090for local sales you just agree to meet up with someone at the local police station parking lot
>>94777110No the abstract totality of the Imperium being retarded is okay, every character ever being retarded is bad.
>>94777116>>94777104Are you two literate? Am I illiterate?
>>94777122No. It's fun reading about Dark Angels being so resolute in their beliefs knowing that they're wrong
>>94777133>It's fun reading about Dark AngelsIt's not.
>>94776889it wasn't that fun when gw did that with the shield of Baal campaign
>>94777136Disagree the omnibus is enjoyable
Who are the most obnoxious SM playersI'll go first, Space Wolves
>>947771331. How is that fun.2. How is that fun with nobody to bounce off of?>>94777138Is that because of execution or the concept? I think it's probably the BL writers.
>>94777155OC Donut chapter users.
>>94777155Salamanders and it's not even close.
>>94776934It's a bummer because some of her stuff is gone from warhammer community or at least I cant' find it. For example the wrath and glory comic my pic was from. But it's entirely possible it's on warcom, but the search and google SEO is so bad that it can't be found from searching either google or the website
>>94777163Ita fun because I'm not a little bitch who fails to realize 40k is supposed to be satirical where everyone is a fucking idiot
>>94777155Imperial Fists playersThey think that they're hot shit because they painted yellow.
>>94777169Why
>>94776889Didn't Kabanduhhhh show up to kill all the nids too because "heh, only I can kill the blood angels ;)"?
>>94777155space wolves and imperial fists for loyalistsiron warriors and night lords for traitors
anybody have tips for painting legible script on things like gun banners other than having a sharp tip on your brush and a steady hand?
>>94777212micron pens
>>94777212stencil + airburashi
>>94777212Micron pens either way you're gonna have to practice
>>94777212Spacing is important, you generally start with the middle letter(s) then work your way to the edges.
>>94777212Use a gundam pen
>>94777234Nah, those are still too thick. He should get a smaller micron pen
>>94776980>>94776934Ah shit, seems like the community site doesn't go back that far since they last updated it. Only place I could find the full set was their facebook page. Fucking grim.
>on youtube>see that Poorhammer is streaming>didn't know they were streamers, assume they're talking about some Warhammer stuff>it's just a random ass gameHow long until these guys become CSM themed vtubers. The modern internet is weird and I can't believe this but AVGN was literally classic/ancient youtube and probably wouldn't be nearly as popular now.
>>94776804>>94776889>hatemonger vs. the coagulators
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94777273Damn can't do shit these days without some autist on 4chan complaining about it
>>94777163>Is that because of execution or the concept?it's because you expect the premise to spark some interesting interactions, but they don't happen, because the interesting interactions you wanted in the first place were the comedic and absurd ones of memes, not actual fluff.at the absolute very best you might push the narrative to have cringe superhero movie moments.imperial factions, but space marines in particular do not lend themselves to atypical interactions, they simply don't have the flexibility in their characterisations to entertain a role other than the poker faced action heromaybe you could force the admech or the guard or a knight to have an atypical interaction which would show even a minimal amount of back and forth, but they rarely work alone in a narrative and will inevitably be narratively overshadowed by marines
>>94777034I love unhinged nerdy internet women.
>>94777212Very thin paints, lots of layers, let them dry all the way between coats. Makes cleaning up mistakes easier for sharp characters. Law of averages sort of thing.
>>9477727811e starter box white scars vs dark eldar trust the plan
>>94777281Are there really poorhammer fanatics? Is that a thing? I thought people just impassively watched warhammer channels for painting tips or lore.
>>94777283If you want a serious setting then you should look somewhere else.Not even saying that in a fuck off kind of way, it's just the truth. As cool as GW tries to make the Imperium look at times, it's still a setting where everyone will be stupid in the name of grimdark satire
>>94777172There seems to be an imgur that archives that./gallery/wrath-glory-introductory-comic-TZ9piC9
>>94777303This except actually Space Wolves with returned Lemon Russ vs. Urien Rakarth's refreshed model so they can be like "monstrous space marines (wulfen) vs. grotesque monsters".
>>94777334leman won't be in the starterit'll be ultramarines vs dark eldar and then the space yiff refresh with full furry lemon a few months later like they did with the dark angels
>>94777178>It's fun because they intended...Stop, if somebody intended to stab me, and I understood that they intended to stab me, it wouldn't make them stabbing me more fun.>>94777277>coagulators???
>>94777342Didn't Lion Eljonson release at the end of 9th during arks of omen
>>94777334Sorry I meant to write that it'll be Dreadnaught Dorn leading the Black Templars vs Vect and then Perturabo will show up to ruin his day (again)
>>94777356no he was after 10e
>>94777347>comparing Imperium stupidity to getting stabbedIts time to stop
>>94777312>Decry somebody for streaming unrelated games>Somebody defends the concept of using one's YouTube channel for something else>Get called a fanaticI have never heard of poorhammer, I think you are being whiney and cringe.
What's with Tamiya paints? Bought one and I feel like the result is noticeable worse than with the regular Citadel. Are they like that or it's just me that I suck?
>>94777365Nope he released in April right before 10e came out, during Arks of Omen.
>>94777375Tamiya is like army painter tier trash
>>94777321it's not about wanting a serious setting or not, it's about marines being incapable of taking part in non-serious endeavours like orks, necrons and some eldar or chaos marines can
>Guys at my LGS bitching about DEI and femstodesGod I can't even escape 4chan whinging outside of 4chan
>>94777423don't worry, this nightmare is gonna be over soon
>>94777375tamiya is good for some effects paints like transparent red for a cheaper blood for the blood god and their non-paint products
>>947774234chan didn't give a shit about that joke faction getting women, culture war tourists flooding the board did
>>94777423You should paint something with a rainbow flag just to piss him off
>>94777389Fanatic is pretty good though
>>94777423tell them that custodes are the perfect containment faction because nobody cares about them and they are technically better space marines, so GW can posture in front of degenerates while actual space marines remain untainted.
>>94777389the new army painter line is legitimately in the top three paint lines now
>>94777423>during election some fat military larper in his late 30s starts posting Kyle Rittenhouse pictures in the playgroup discord>people give him a lot of shit, discord admin says he think the guys a faggot too but he won't kick people for having different political opinions>eventually one guy gets fed up and tells the larper "this is why everyone at airsoft hates you">THATS what triggers the military larper and he ragequits the discordGuy also kept trying to get people to play Bolt Action with him so he could use his Nazi army. I'm not even kidding.
>>94777423>4chan whingingOh you sweet, innocent fool.The femstodes shitflinging? That isn't 4chan leaking out into the real world, that was the modern day real world leaking INTO 4chan.
>>94777389Anon AP changed their formulation, their paints are actually good now
>>94777423Imagine caring enough about satire disguised as lore enough to defend it in either direction. Just paint minis and play.
>>94777452>>94777459>>94777463Nothing is right in the world anymore.
>>94777462grim
>>94777476Don't worry, their shades are still donkey dick.
>>94777009Thanks anon. Toned down all the purple. I still want to leave the chest purple so /mydudes/ don't look like Sons of Horusis that what the anon ranting about teal and orange is getting at?
>>94777423Hate to tell you this, Anon, but DEI shit has infested corporate America and society at large. They're bitching about what they see on the news.
After 3 more aggressors I'll have 145 to 2000. What should I add next?>Heavy Intercessors + enhancements>Impulsor, run hunter conversion as hunter>Invictor Warsuit but with that cockpit cover mod. Would do RT Sally paint scheme>Land speeder>Invader ATV+ intercessor/assault intercessor squad

>>94777532get some normal lights, bruv
>>94777527no, ignore him, he's genuinely schizophrenic and paranoid about another dude's models
>>94777488in what world, even before the reformulation they were some of the best washes out there
>>94777423>leon postingI know what you are
>>94777283>it's because you expect the premise to spark some interesting interactionsI think interesting interactions could easily come from this concept, I am certain it is the poor quality of modern writers.>because the interesting interactions you wanted in the first place were the comedic and absurd ones of memes, not actual fluff.>at the absolute very best you might push the narrative to have cringe superhero movie moments.What an absolutely baseless assumption. Where did you pull that I wanted that from?I was thinking about reading about how both sides were doing everything in their power to fuck each-other over, while trying not to escalate the situation where the other side thinks that a zero sum game of letting the Tyranids kill them both is better than continuing the joint operation. I want to see them fight dirty and dishonorable, I want to see an isolated group of SM and Necrons facing a wave of Tyranids that should be easily deal with the SMs shoot the Necrons in the back, and then the Sargent shoots some of his own men, and cutting himself and the survivors up to make a situation where the Necrons with him were wiped out more believable to his Necron "allies"
>>94777536anon i have no fuckin clue what a sallyman is. im just trying to make a space marine chapter
>>94777548I hate that fucking image so much, god
>>94777527I would get rid of the salmon on the trim and helmet personally but that's just me, it'll be a pain to paint over a whole army
>>94777558Is he somebody who has played one of the most popular games ever?
Can a dread be a chapter master?
>>94777566his paintjobs aren't THAT bad
>>94777538I like keeping it on purple since it makes the eyes and the librarian glows pop.>>94777577Ain't that the case with the scorpions?
>>94777577yes
>>94777552Army Painter? I don't know I avoided their shit like the plague after a couple bad bottles of their usual stuff, finally tried out one of their shades and the shit bubbles like crazy, if any amount of it pools into a recess it will bubble while drying it's fucking infuriating.
>>94777527There's an anon who posts marines in a somewhat garish but pretty well done bright teal and orange colour scheme. A number of other anons get very angry about this.They won't look like Sons of Horus. Nobody has ever put purple, orange or especially salmon on their SoH. SoH don't even come in primaris unless someone's having a lark. Giving them a purple chest will however make them look like they're going into battle wearing crop tops.I appreciate the temptations of the png template facing you, how it makes excess of any single colour look monotonous, but when you're painting on a three dimensional model, highlighting the edges and shading the recesses, underlying consistency is vital. Trust me, less is more, all teal.
>>94777423kys
>>94777631oh no tourist stinky
>>94777574It’s not that popular. Even 40k is more influential than resident evil.
>tell people in LGS groupchat that engineers are 35pts and broken>"yeah but they wont be 35pts on codex release, the points will be updated"huh? its 35pts in the book, surely the book, being the most recent publication, is the new points costs for the army?
>>94777649New codex points have been overruled several times this edition, however there's nothing to say that it will inherently be the case this time, unless stated by GW the codex points will be the official points.
>>94777658>buy book>its rules are incorrect on its releasejesus christ, and 40k players are just fine with this?
>>9477766640k players dont buy the rulebooks for a reason
>>94777667given that my entire LGS wants the dkok box, and actually buys codecies, they do
>>94777666>one page of numbers is invalidliterally 99% of the book is entirely functional, are you just retarded or is this concern trolling?
>>94777536Anon other than the odd shitposter I’m pretty sure most people don’t think about me at all.
>>94777678sometimes I think about you and hope you're having good games
>>94777681Thanks.
>>9477766640k players are some of the most submissive battered wifes you could possibly wish for
>>94777678I think about female salamanders.
>>94777678Is that rodrigens or rodrigehs?
>>94777666Now that GW has a functioning app so that all your rules are digital and updated when they change, yes.
>>94777666Really they should just put the rules online for free and turn the codex into a pure fluff/art book
>>94777678>Fernandothat doesn't sound very threatening
>>94777678I don't care for Fernando.
>>94777697The latter.
>>94777678I'm sure you're deliberately trolling with that garish fucking blue that doesn't fit with your scheme at all

>>94777672>>94777666>>94777667Every layer of the hobby is subsidized by retards. The only question is which layer you find yourself. Retards buy the codexes, and other rule books allowing them to be scanned and copied to waha new recruit, pdfs, etc, thus subsidizing the continued publication of rules which are freely available to the less retarded. Retards buy models directly from GW which will ultimately end up available on second hand markets for the less retarded to acquire at a half of the cost. Retards by official warhammer kits at all, thus sustaining model design and productions which are in turn duplicated by recasters or copies by prootfags, allowing another layer to acquire models at even lower costs. Retards support GW in any way shape or form, thus subsidizing the perpetuation of this entire retarded charade, which includes us talking now, even (you) if you don't play or collect 40k but waste your time here regardless, existing in a superposition of being both the least and most retarded of all.It's a layer cake, and every layer is retarded.

>>94776771Looking good anon, im currently working on my BA scouts, hoping to get them done in time for my game on sunday
>>94777730Anon, the books are likely sent off to be printed a few months before release. You think the current paradigm of 6-month balance changes squares with that?Because it doesn't. IMO points values shouldn't even be physically printed in the Codex.
>>94777747Ain’t that the truth brother.
>>94777746If that's what you took away from my post then I'm sorry to inform you that you have discovered heretofore unprecedented depths of retardation.
>>94777752The only people who deny the satire of 40k are the ones who are being satirized but too stupid to see it.

>>94777678Hey, last thread you asked for advice on why your color choices were clashing, but I was busy and didn't have time for a response. I'm also not going to be great at explaining, unfortunately, but aside from general advice of "look up tutorials and instructionals on color theory online", a more specific piece of advice would be this:Look at commercial designs. Clothing, shoes, furniture, product packaging. Look at stuff that uses the two colors you want to use, and see what other colors they use in combination with those. Every (successful) product is designed for maximum impact and appeal, to get people to buy it. These people know their shit, they know what colors go well together, and how much of each they can use in relation to each other. Take note of the proportions of their palettes - if they're mostly using red and green, but then also bring in white or gold, how much of that third color is there relative to the red and green? Try to limit yourself to similar proportions.

>>94777771Satire implies a level of unserious-ness or humor that modern 40K doesn’t really exhibit. The current most popular 40K media plays the nobility and sacrifice of the Space Marines entirely straight. I’m not saying satirical elements aren’t present, but again, it’s vestigial and not the reason anyone serious about the hobby actually pick it up.

>>94777799Thanks for the response. I’ll keep it in mind, that said I’m not painting for a mass appeal, all I want is to be different from everything else I see. But if I ever get to a point of trying some painting comp stuff I’ll try to do that since that’s some of the metrics they use I presume. Good luck with your weekend.>>94777808Why not?

>>94777837>I’m not painting for a mass appeal, all I want is to be different from everything else I seeYou're uh, you're very young, aren't you?I don't know if this is going to get through to you, but people's sense of taste for color isn't coincidental, or just the "in thing". Biology and thousands of years of experimentation have brought us to the understanding we have of what grabs the attention of the human eye and keeps it there. If you are working in any sort of artistic sphere, you can't just say "I'm going my own way" purely off the back of being contrarian.I'm not saying you can't get weird and creative, but you're not going to chart a new course by taking a dive off a fucking cliff. Figure out how to walk to school first.

>>94777869Damn sallyfag rekt
>>94777869Regrettably I’m almost 30. And it’s not contrarianism, I just dislike mono colour schemes for most stuff. Regular ultras and the like are ugly to me. I find the Red/Green/Blue triad draws my eye nicely and the gold cuts it up without making it bland. Regular marines almost all tend to be all the same colour with just one or two different spots of stuff and that seems so tiresome. I’d love to discuss it more in person with people to properly understand but all I ever get is “woah those look great” rather than meanigful responses. So I appreciate you trying.

>>94777901To add to this, the issue you have is that red/green/ and blue all sit at opposite ends of the Color wheel thingy, so they are wrong to go together? Instead I should do yellow or pink as a mid colour between them so it’s not a sharp contrast?
>>94777915Then they’re bitchmade. Rudeness isn’t an issue for me.

>>94777883Not the goal, I'm just trying to get him to open up to learning something new.>>94777901Aight, wasn't trying to sound condescending but the line I quoted sounded like a really bad cliche from a kid without enough experience in failing to recognize when he's headed straight towards it. I'm not trying to dissuade you from a red/green quarted color scheme, just to point you in a direction that will make it more likely for you to reach a point where it looks sharp. To be honest, I imagine most of your compliments are coming from either a place of politeness, or admiration for your level of technical skill (which is better than a lot of hobbyists out there, even if it isn't impressive when stacked up against the peaks of the hobby). In the case of the latter, it's fine to be proud of that, you do put in effort. It just feels weirdly contradictory that you're so adamant against taking inspiration adjacent to your artistic goals from other artists or designers.
>>94777836Pardon me? What using a WMD on your oppressors is a crime? America was right to nuke Japan, and the Arachnid Empire was right to make big rock fall on monkey haha. Should we have seen Bug civilians on the front line for some reason, what's the worst thing the bugs did kill some Mormons and Journalists? I'd do that too, mormons and journalists aren't people. Kill some PoWs, yeah that's fucked up but name one human group that hasn't killed a few PoWs. Do humans deserve to be unequivocally wiped out?

>>94777577Most of the time no because marines in a dreadnought are either too damaged to be coherent beyond battle or because the dread will erode their body and sanity so they need their naps.I think there was a chapter that had a chapter master dreadnought that was functional (not the scorpions) but I can't remember what its name was

>>94777947>the Arachnid Empire was right to make big rock fall on monkey hahaThey didn't, it was a false flag
does anyone here play with forest boards? been thinking about making a bunch of giant redwoods on bases to use instead of ruins/etc
>>94777967I know, but the people who support genocide don't. Even if it wasn't the Arachnids would have been in the right to do so. Using WMDs on your enemy isn't wrong.
>>94777942I understand you aren’t trying to dissuade me, I’m just trying to properly dissect and understand ‘why’ the colour scheme is assaulting to some people’s senses and nice to others.I do get some inspiration but I’m usually going from historical coat of arms colours on brigandines which are sometimes even more absurd than my colour scheme. I’m just not terribly good at judging other people’s art myself. So going by what I’d read and my very limited understanding, red, green, and blue are all complementary colours to one another and give a sense of energy. Which I like to think makes sense for my dudes. When I’ve used other colours before like cream, purple, and just more red it didn’t feel… impactful I guess? I did have a whole symbology thing for why the colours are the way they are from when I first started but I don’t want to inflict that on someone unnecessarily and it’s just “x colour on y part represents z concept”
Would it be too edgy to model the grenadiers bomb drone as suicide bomber painted up as a captured heretic.
>>94777985Oh and guys like this but it’s just his technical skill I’m trying to emulate there he’s just painting box art schemes.

Do I buy 1 or two krieg boxes? I'm pretty sure I could easily find a buyer for the extra rules and the character. A bit on the fence about the 20 horses I'd end up with.
>>94778336just get one, the discount on engineers and the cannon aren't very good and you realistically will never need 20 horses.
>>94778342True. And there's the hassle of having to sell the extras.
>>94778294Cheers, thank you for being decent.
>>94778306Well with that in mind what would you recommend for a 1000p army? Kinda want to lean Maleus but not sure what to get beyond Grey Knights and an Eversor. Have an Inquisitor, a Vindicare, and a Battle Sister Squad.The Blackstar seems kinda cool.

I have all four assassins and just swap them out depending on the matchup.>Inquisitor Coteaz (75pts): Warlord>Vindicare Assassin (110pts)>Inquisitor (75pts): Gift of the Prescient, Psychic gifts>10x Imperial Navy Breachers (90pts)>5x Grey Knights Terminator Squad (190pts)>5x Grey Knights Terminator Squad (190pts)>12x Inquisitorial Agents (100pts)>12x Inquisitorial Agents (100pts)>Inquisitorial Chimera (70pts): Heavy Flamer, Stormbolter

is the knights/marines matchup REALLY that abd
>>94778118>>94778250Clever use of transfers on the brutalis. I like how bold the yellow is too.That's quite a bit of texture you got on the sarcophagus cover though, I might thin your black out a little more in the future. Also I'd suggest rimming your bases in black, it really cleans up the presentation.
How transport heavy is this edition?
I'm really struggling to think of what infantry I'm supposed to run in Marines. I've got jump pack guys and normal ints for stickies, phobos dudes for anti-deep strike and scouts for actions.Every other idea is just "But I could run a vehicle..."Like, I could run a bunch of Hellblasters and a buffing LT in an impulsor but for that point cost I could just run a Redemptor and be just as effective
>>94778594It’s pretty bad.
>>94778608Fairly. Footslog infantry don’t do well rn.
>>94778618You should just be running 2000 points of dreadnoughts.
>>94778623Damn. I should go back to the drawing board with my lists then.
>>94778618>I'm really struggling to think of what infantry I'm supposed to run in MarinesTechmarine and the rest of your list reserved for 2000pts of dreadnoughts
>>94778627>>94778624Based
>>94778618>Like, I could run a bunch of Hellblasters and a buffing LT in an impulsor but for that point cost I could just run a Redemptor and be just as effectiveThen fuck it, get the dreadnought.
>>94778624>>94778627Based and dreadpilled
>>94778594The Knights go up against two main detachments - Vanguard and Ironstorm.Vanguard Marines are super tanky thanks to their entire army having stealth + cover, and the ability to just deep strike + uppydowny powerful stuff makes it trivial to blow up knights and just straight up out-objective them. Invisible deep striking Centurions firing lascannons into your ass then WHOOPS GOTTA BLAST escaping before you can catch them is incrediby annoying. The Knights can't deal with the mixture of good mobility and high damage.Ironstorm Marines can double oath with +1 wound and just blow shit up every turn. Yeah, a Knight gets cover, but an 80pt 5 man squad of Intercessors is throwing out 20 BS3 with rerolls wounding on 5s boltgun shots, and that's the LEAST effective unit. Every time there's any anti-tank, the Knight has to pop Rotate Ion Shields, and some vehicles like the Repulsor Executioner can just shit out a bunch of S4 damage to chip the Oath target before going for finishers with things like the Lancer Laser Destroyer. Then killing the second Knight is a lot easier without the 4++.Overwatch also makes it a pain in the ass to do anything with your Knights because the marine vehicles have so many gun profiles, rerolls to hit, and wound really easily (Lots of times rolling on 2s) and if you dare shoot at their tanks they get fucking Power of the Machine Spirit and kill you during your turn.
>>94778636>>94778627>>94778624I already have too many Marine tanks though. I've got An Impulsor, a RepEx, 2 Vindicators, a Predator, 2 Redemptors, Two Gladiators and 2 TechmarinesThat's fine for 3k but for 2k I want more foot units but I keep being drawn back to that god damned Dread...
>>94778656Are Centurions good now or is it only in that detachment?
>>94778663>but for 2k I want more foot unitsDreads have feet.
>>94778663Sounds like you're missing >x1 redemptor>x3 brutalis>x3 ballistus>x3 boxnaughts
>>94778674I mean... Strike from the Shadows turns them into 3 BS2+ rerolling to hit rerolling to wound AP4 lascannons or just 9 gravcannon shots which mulch vehicles and they can spend a CP to drop down at any turn.BUT if you're running Ventris, even without Vanguard, you can just have the Centurons as 185 points of deep striking antitank
>>94778709I see.I wonder if we'll ever see a Primaris grav unit.
>>94778720That's probably the next special weapon squad remaining, DESU. A heavy Gravis 3 man Grav and/or Lascannon unit. Just got to decide if they're getting deep strike like Inceptors or footslogging like Eradicators
>>94778618Hellblasters are good cause you get to shoot a bunch, and then shoot again before they die with a AP-2 gun. If you want to run more infantry, they’re always a good option, but if you’re on the fence, just get what you actually want.
Marines really need another primaris lieutenant
>>94778770give me one that works with Inceptors
How does it feel, Marine players, knowing you'll never have THE AIR DREAD?
>>94778824How do we fix flyers? Personally I'd just squat them all
>>94778826It honestly the only real solution. Then being good is bad for the game. Same as artillery, knights, and Custodes
>>94778826Revive Apocalypse, remove flyers and titanic units from main 40k and make them only fieldable in Apoc games.
>>94778826>>94778834The current situation feels like a perfectly valid solution. Making them overcosted trash options means they don't interfere with the rest of the game's functioning but still exist as a fluffy model. The only downside is the idiots who still haven't figured out the paradigm continually complaining that they're bad, but that's relatively easy to tune out.
so I've been looking to buy my first home soon.. and a certain property caught my eye. basically;>old farm land>house and some of the land around it was divided out and the neighboring farm bought the farmland itself>home is fine, bit dated but roof was done in 09>barn on the property is the remains of 150+ year old meter thick stone wallscontemplating restoring the stone and putting a new roof on for a huge gaming space.. but the cost would probably mean I can't reno the main home for a few years.

Hey did you know that the *average* Ad Mech player spends $1 = 1 Point on the tabletop? For a 2000pt game, they could have bought 2,573 cans of diet coke.

Insider here.Fulgrim is going to obliterate Karandras in a book released with the EC Codex, but the epilogue will state that Karandras' soul passed beyond the reach of both Fulgrim and Slaanesh and has vanished to somewhere deep within the Warp, awakening something long buried and sending tremors through the Immaterium.
>>94776608>TQ40k is unironically at its worst when its trying to be like an edgy 13 year old. >Yeah so agri-worlds are worse than you can possibly imagine and if you don't like it, you'll be a servitor. >Yeah so Imperial Guard don't retire, they're sold to the Ad Mech to become servitors >Yeah so if your impress Space Marines, they can request that you join their auxilliaries... as a servitor. >Each time a spaceship is refuelled a crewmember puts a lead coffin on his back and hikes 9km across the ship becoming dangerously irradiated the entire time and when he gets there he has to manually load a daemon core into the reactor. This happens literally billiosn of times per day and no, they can't use servitors.
>>94779117>KarandrasIs that an eldar character I'm not gay enough to know about or something? Literally who
>>94777875This is my last proper group shot.

>>94777455>he thinks marines aren't next
94779146You're so pathetically desperate for engagement
>>94779117Is this why they've squatted his model?
>>94779126Agriworlds probably arent all idyllic homesteades but I imagine them being far nicer than most other planets in the imperium. Of course imperial guard can retire. All space marines arent iron hands. That one about refueling was funny and i hope its canon
>>94779104Glad you like my little conversions. Unfortunately my best stuff wasn't made yet when I took that picture.
>>94777875Love painting daemons
>>94779143Ah ok so no one important, good
>>94779138Explains why the reload time in BFG2 is like 11 seconds.Also "the 16 macrocannon clans aboard your ship have never known anything outside of the firing deck. Generations have lived and died having never left Deck 12. Rivalries occur between clans. Scraps of food are hoarded. A common cold in the lower decks can cripple the entire ship's ability to fight."
>>94779167Why are those daemons invading naboo
>>94777875
>>94779158More recently agriworlds have been described as mountains of rice paddies grown using toxic petrochemicals that sour the soil and use all of the planet's resoucres within decades. IG retiring has actually been a point of contention for a long time. One of the Black Crusade modules for the FFG RPG has a scenario where you are chaos marines on a planet where the IG were left behind to repopulate a dying ruined planet after repelling an invasion, making them susceptible to Chaos worship. Also more recently in the fluff IG recovery + medicae stations have been discreetly turning IG to servitors.
>>94779188>within decades100% retarded nulore bs. Thats, what, a handful of food transports back and forth? The imperium should have run out of agriworlds by now.>IG turning into servitorsProbably depends on where and who they are. Also really dumb.
>>94779158Don't agri worlds have like 4 million people world wide due to automation?
>>94779188>within decadesGrimderp nonsense, the imperium wouldn't have got past M31
>>94779217>automationYou mean TECHNO HERESEY??? Combine harvesters are for the lazy and the weak. Those who love the emperor willingly cut off their hands and replace them with steampowered scythes and plows.Genuinely, this art is extremely embarassing and represents pure grim derp.
>>94779217If they need gorillions of people to work belt lines without automation on hive worlds I have a hard time seeing that many resources being spent automizing farming just to pack it up a few decades later when the soil is dead
>>94777875My Brazen Claws infantry, two dreads and a Repulsor are in a different shot.
>>94779249yikes
>>94779236>How do we relate the feeling of farmers in our futuristic game based if catholic nazis won the world wars with Age of Sail space travel? >IDK make them Monty Python Holy Grail peasants and give them cybernetic rake arms.

>>94779139>the fucking king crab anon retvrnsIt's makes me very happy that you're still around. Requesting closeups of the king crab so the uninitiated can bask in its glory
>>94779256Well that’s not very nice. Or constructive.
>>94779167S0VL
I will participate in these group photos one day...
>>94779249based
>>94779249Are they without shading, highlights and some without proper basing? Sad
>>94779260Speak of the crab, please. I wish to know of the crab.
>>94779249Basing when? They look cool aside from that
>>94779259Looks like a digimon
>>94779267This was a shot from before and the best I had at the time. They’ve since been shaded and the bases painted. Still working on getting good at highlights, am never sure where best to put them beyond the edges of the armor.
>>94779268It's this absolute unit, I think he runs it as a stormsurge or some big robot, I'm not super familiar with tau stuff, but it's absolutely bonkers up close and fucking massive
>>94779281Wow! That does look huge! Thanks for pointing it out.
>>94779188Within decades is ridiculous and the Imperium would run out of planets before the 41st millennium, but I wouldn't put it past GW to throw this number out because they're stupidThis is the same company that thinks a few thousand marines can be an effective fighting force across an entire galaxy, made the biggest wars in the setting have casualties lower than the Iraq war, and the best militaries in the setting would be dumpstered by any modern NATO country in conventional warfare by virtue of how shit 40ks vehicles are compared to our stuff
>>94779264You better or I'll fight your dad, lose, and then tell him you told me to do it
>Need 10 inceptors for my planned Deathwatch army>Inceptors are sold in boxes of 3Fucking hell. Why do they do this shit?
>>94779296I find it's best to ignore basically every single number James has ever published. The British fundamentally do not understand scale. I blame the fact that they intermingle metric and imperial units, along with absolute fucknuts units like "stone." Just ruins their brains, numerically speaking.
>>94779296>This is the same company that thinks a few thousand marines can be an effective fighting force across an entire galaxyThey are if they're used like special ops. A lot of the SM stuff is that they show up after months of fighting (barring emergencies for VIPs or Tech), conduct critical operations over a few days, and then leave when the head is cut off but the fighting is still going on. The plot of the first Space Marine game happens in a single day. Assault on Black Reach (5th edition) had ultramarines 2nd company show up for 2 days, lose 1/10th of their guys, and then leave once the warboss was dead. But also to your point, a modern abrams tank would absolutely annhilate the published numbers for a land raider.
>>94779297You can believe in me, bro! My league hits the 2000 point mark at the end of February. I will be fully painted by then.
>>94779310Space Marines are 24 Hands tall
>>94779259its an official model so yeah sure, go ahead. not like titans are any good anyway.
>>94779310You'd think a country that lost entire towns of men in WWI and lost 500k men in a single battle would understand scale.
>>94779329Cool. Here's my Tyranid warrior. It's an official model.
>>94779342>Painted and basedLooks good anon go ahead and use em
Are Warp Talons and Raptors worth anything in CSM armies these days, or should I just add them to my 30k army? Haven’t gotten a chance to play the new edition.
>>94779342If you wanna run it then sure, I ain't pressed about it
>>94779319Godspeed anon
>>94779126My favorite was how incompetent the guard is and how they throw billions of men in human wave attacks and fight until they are 80 years old when even in 40k it makes no sense and even less sense that it somehow could ever achieve victory.Realistcally guard generals should know what they are doing. I mean see the Red Army in WW2 the incompetent ones were all taken out back and shot (Commissars in 40k are also stated to be allowed to kill generals and take command to ensure victory) or killed in the field of battle after being overrun by the germans and the ones that were left were all experienced officers through trial by fire because the second its a fight for survival things like political connections go out the window. Also a forgeworld would be able to shit out a tank in like 30 seconds if the soviets could pump out 55 T-34s in a day (not even including all the artillery guns, aircraft, and other types of fucking tanks) while in the middle of an invasion and on average infantry take 3 months to train so by all means guardsmen are not at all fucking expendable compared to the tanks they use.So now the next problem is that the imperiums enemies tend to outnumber the guard or heavily outclass their infantry to the point where there is 0 way they could win a war of attrition. I mean orks and tyranids outnumber every species in the galaxy combined if you ignore the other so how the fuck can guardsmen ever hope to achieve a win without tons of artillery air support and armor.>>94779236>>94779242I never understood this because industrial machinery isn't ai and your fucking radar system wouldnt be considered techno heresy (unless some retarded fluff says valkyries dont have electronic systems) so why manual shell loading using slaves? no farming equipment? no conveyor belt manufacturing?
>>94779356Warp Talons are very good in Pactbound Zealots. Give them mark of Slaanesh and they can absolutely fuck a unit up, then leave the board, and Rapid Ingress in later to do it again.
>>94779374Dios mio, mucho texto
>>94779374You are unironically thinking too hard. 40K does not make sense. If this is too bothersome to you, you need to find a new setting to think autistically about.
>>94776608>Be me>Want to play WH40K for a long long time, but not sure what factionI got a small box of 3 Space Marines and although I originally thought the faction was too basic, they've grown on me.I would am stuck between the Black Templars and the Dark Angels. I prefer the Black Templars color scheme and models, but the Lion Johnson model is very cool. Plus I can't decide between the Dark Angels "noble/mystic knight" aesthetic and the Templar "crusader" aesthetic, as I like both. I'm not the biggest fan of vehicles, so the Dark Angels combat patrol seems better than the Black Templar one. What do you all think?
>>94779388Thanks!
>>94779400Play Ultramarines
>>94779400If you're totally torn between either, unironically flip a coin. Both factions have great appeal. Remember that you can always make /yourdudes/ a Dark Angel successor faction with a similar color scheme to the Black Templars and get the best of both worlds.
>>94779394its not really thinking too hard its moreFaction uses bayonet charges against enemy who has 10x the numbers and somehow wins? Its kind of just baffling how nobody in britain thinks about things for more than 2 seconds. Was guard actually even always this retarded and edgy?
>>94779374>Also a forgeworld would be able to shit out a tank in like 30 secondsThe machine spirits of each tank must be properly placated, as well as those of all the glorious machines building the tanks to begin with.This all adds time.The Russians bless their tanks too, but not to the level of the Mechanicus
>>94779400>I prefer the Black Templars color scheme and models, but the Lion Johnson model is very coolIf you like the black and cream colours, but prefer the dangels sculpts you could just paint them as a dangels successor chapter. There's a whole bunch of them that use black and cream
>>94779428Anon. Genuinely. You are thinking. Too. Hard. There is a place for many flavors of autism in the 40K fanbase. Logistical autism ain't it. Guard is the eternal underdog, outclassed in every single way, and still gets wins. This is just how it is.
>>94779428>the necrons can literally obliterate stars anywhere in the galaxy by just touching a point on a map and yet somehow they lose wars? its kind of just baffling how nobody in britain thinks about things for more than 2 seconds
>>94779435>The machine spirits of each tank must be properly placated, as well as those of all the glorious machines building the tanks to begin with.Aren't Machine Spirits tethered to human bodies? In one of the Tau stories they captures a human Deathstrike-equivalent and opened the rocket casing to find a living human head being used as the guidance system. Does a tank or a ground car also require a cyborg interface?
>>94779428Numbers written in the fluff are as worthless as a pair of tissue paper boxer shorts.
>>94779437>logistical autism ain't itRowboat girlymans entire schtick is logistics though and he is the main character of 40k. I think we focus on it too
>>94779400>I prefer the Black Templars color scheme and models, but the Lion Johnson model is very coolFor the most part, you can just paint DA as black templar and it's fine. Just call them a successor chapter. For what it's worth, I think the dark angels knightly aesthetic is the coolest shit for space marines to go and I like melee heavy armies because of thisYour biggest problem is going to be BT specific models like characters, crusader squads or sword brethren.
>>94779428>Was guard actually even always this retarded and edgy?Guard was made because in the mid 90s GW realized they could capture more marketshare if they let historicals play their space game. Which is how you ended up with tallarans, mordians, valhallans, and entire planets locked into militaries eternally locked into a single decade of human history.
>>94779451Dunno if it requires an interface, but tanks and rhinos at the very least do have machine spirits.
>>94779451That’s not a machine spirit, that’s a servitor. Machine spirits run the gamut of anything from simple AI as we know it (not abominable intelligence, but the modern day computer programming sort of AI) to actual, genuine spirits within the machine.
>>94779451>living human head being used as the guidance systemReminds me of Inqusitor Martyr (and a lot of the video games actually) where there's a ship where every door uses a servitor's head.
>>94779436Man, I love the chapter symbol of the Angels of Vengeance.I should try to find a custom transfer sheet.
>>94779437Yeah your kind of right but 40k is THE tism hobby it also kind of begs the question of how people actually enjoy the novels if this is the kind of consistency across the setting you can expect.>>94779445Thats a really crappy strawman anon. Its just kina dumb to read about how like 10 billion dudes died to take 1 irrelevant hill because they forgot their tanks or whatever it kinda waters down anything cool about the setting.>>94779458I'm a different anon from the numbers guy I briefly mentioned that the fluff spitballed ork and tyranid numbers to be more than the rest of the galaxy but I can suspend my disbelief for the numbers I'm more talking about massive leaps in logic.>>94779468They forgot to do any of the research on how militaries work when they made them I guess.
>>94779412I highly recommend trying them out that way, especially as a squad of 10.You will be very satisfied when they wipe out an enemy unit and quickly move to another part of the board to continue to be a problem.
>>94779478>10 billionAnon this is 40k, that massive, segmentum sized war features 80 space marines and 30000 guardsmen versus 40 hive fleets, six tomb worlds, and khorne himself
>>94779478>it also kind of begs the question of how people actually enjoy the novels if this is the kind of consistency across the setting you can expectI don't think anyone enjoys ALL the novels. Generally people like the very few good ones, and have a guilty pleasure of some of the less shitty ones devoted to your faction(s) of choice.
>>94779478I remember the good novelsThe shittier ones are audiobook noise that gets me through my work day
>>94779487Your focusing on the wrong part its the bayonet charging part when they have like 70 tank companies and artillery batteries on hand.>>94779490>>94779496Thats more grim than anything the setting could come up with sheesh
>>94779502Tanks can bayonet charge too
>>94779451>Aren't Machine Spirits tethered to human bodies?No. They're MACHINE Spirits, not FLESH Spirits. Servitor homing systems in every other missile is just grimderp.
>>94779504I'm picturing a T-34 with a tiny knife strapped to the barrel charging into a herd of tyranids
>>94779522Vroom-vroom!
>>94779260>>94779286I would take some new shots but the lighting is crap in my new place, you'll have to settle with some old shots. I haven't painted in a while unfortunately, not since i moved, just haven't gotten around to finding a space to work on more models. This does mean that i've been finding more time to play some games and i played more games in the last year. Even got to take the kingcrab out a few times
Whatever happened to the guy making the Nurgle cum rhino?
>>94779536This and that giant mechanicus spider are probably my favorite models I've seen here
>>9477787540% done with this killteam
>>94779548Nice stuff anon
>>94779547warms my heart for you to say that. I always had plans to do something bigger. but i don't know how to proceed and it may mean chopping hundreds of dollars worth of resin in half and then gluing a riptide to it. still don't know if i'm ready to do that on a psychological level yet.
Working on this DA scout, thought I'd paint the cloak grey but I'm not really feeling it goes well with the rest of the model. What do you all recommend
>>94779547Now that's a callback. Don't think I've seen that anon posting in quite a while.
>>94779580I remember at one point his big spider exploded during transport and I think he fixed it, but haven't really seen him around since then
This is the ideal Slaaneshi cultist. You may not like it, but this is what peak indulgence looks like.
>>94779575Agreed, that shade of grey at least clashes badly. Maybe a darker charcoal grey, closer to black?
>>94779575Maybe grey outer + red inner?
>>94779575I'd personally go with a brown with those two other colors. But part of it could also be that the grey looks bad because it looks flat and that with a bit of highlighting and shading it could look better. but that could mean committing to the grey.
>>94779592There's a lot going for it, but sadly Nurgle kinda has a monopoly on the fly motif.
>>94779561Cheers, finally chuggin through
