OP throoded as I predicted.
>no TQFuck you, here's a TQ now.What is your favourite type of base for your mini, do you have a terrain type that you like most? Do you prefer ornate or simplistic designs?
>Plane gets murked turn 2>Spend rest of game flying it around like a stupid kid while my opponent does movement or goes to take a piss/vape breakI pity those who know not such whimsy
>>94801729Yes.
Still working on these guys. Going for a pleather/chrome look reminiscent of Equilibrium. Next to start basecoating an Armiger and maybe some Trench Crusade characters.
lol I guess the other thread got deleted. Here's to the anon asking for more booba art. I was trying to do a chroma shift thing here. I'll likely redraw another assassin with more traditional colors
>>94802263
[throoding intensifies]
>>94797747THose Taurox trucks are infinitely better than how GW sets them up.
>>94802236Cool stuff so far.
>>94802273Nice. All is good stuff.
>>94801729Snow or sand. I have a small nid force that’s looking ok in desert.
>>94801729Simple, because it's always felt weird to me if a section of wall is visually moving around the table with a mini. I personally love urban bases, always have. Just chop up some GW sprue which has this great looking taper and spread it over a texture paste painted black and blue drybrushed. Personally my army is based for desert but that's to match my buddy's desert army so we could do desert battles and match.
>>94802320No you dont
Ravengers are often way hotter and more sensible in the official art than their models are. Their chests are just so wide on the models, I don't understand how that is supposed to be a digger.
We are the Iron Angels. Our duty is called honor. Our compromise is none. We hold the line. Now and forever.
What do you predict for 40k's future this year?
Almost done with the Baal Predator, hope to finish tomorrow.
>>94802410Absolutely fantastic.
>>94802410amazing as always retro anon
>>94802410Oh wait are you the anon with all the gobbo green based Blood Angels?
>>94802410Very 90's. I like it.
>>94802414>>94802418>>94802425Happy you like it anons>>94802421Yup that's me
>>94801729Simple because it's easy to keep cohesive, and I can add onto it later if I feel like it. Stripping shit off a base is hard enough without the mini being on it.
>>94802442YAS
>>94802407Vulkan he’stan gets a new model, prices go up. Codex releases continue to be disappointing. The game will continue to have the flavour sucked out of it as people whine about every balance pass.
>>94802410Got some better progress on my thunderkyn done tonight. Still have to do:>Highlight gold and copper>Faces>BasesWash the backpack on the right guy, as I had to repaint it after fucking it upOnce these guys are done they'll be my first unit done for this year's escalation league.
>>94802410so fucking clean, I love it. that classic pred has always been a fav of mine
What should I do with all these scouts? I was thinking of converting some into an (OG rules) Necromunda gang.
>>94802407Me personally, I'm going to finish painting all my Space Hulk figures, then paint up some Steel Legion dudes to use in Kill Team. IDGAF what GW is up to.
>>94802486hear me out, the Imperial Fists recruit from the gangs of Necromunda, run them as a Venator gang of newly elevated former gangers being sent back down into the hive to fuck shit up as training
>>94797747>tqSure.
>>94802506Sounds like a plan. I like painting yellow too and it gives me a reason to paint a reasonable number of yellow minis. Also forgot my Space Hulk pic so here's a 2024 game using WIP minis
>>94802540really nice
>>94802557space hulk 1st edition with my neighbor is what got me into table top gaming. I'll never tire of these marines fighting stealers
>>94802559have you contributed to posting models today, anon?
>>94802559>>94802561Wait a minute...
>>94802559Nice shitpost, faggot. Which other hack did you steal it from?>>94802561lol. lmao even.
>>94802573yeah here's another
>>94802566It's so good. Also my friend knows a boomer guy who is kind of a game hoarder. That guy wants some stuff commission painted (nothing crazy) and I think instead of money I can get him to part with his 1st Ed Space Hulk box.
>>94797747OP was in such a hurry to throod that he linked to the wrong thread and didn't bother to ask a question.
>>94802588Who could have seen it coming
>>94802486Sell them to desperate 30k players without Scout models or convert them into OG Elysians.
>>94802573>>94802586>>94802587samefag
The duality of BAfags holy shit
>>94802608You're just a fag.
>>94802559Fuck off DCslopper
>>94802617>inspect element
>>94802593my 13 year old self got to see my neighbors collection of rogue trader stuff like zoats, old grey knights and the expansions for space hulk with multiple z levels and hybrids and shit. made my imagination run wild. I've kept my first fig from '99
>>94802604Oh wow this is also super cool. How did I never know about this conversion? Is this the Cityfight book? Oh that conversation almost makes them look like Arbites too...
>>94801729Simple for goons and small bases, get a little saucy and complex for HQ and big base units
>>94802442How do you feel about the new Mephiston? It's the only new BA model I 100% like.
Going to build and play 6th edition with a friend. He's going eldar. What should I go with?
guess we ba posting
>>94802648He is cool I guess but I prefer his old metal model.
Every time I feel bad about myself I think about OP and how embarrassed I would be for anyone else to see my sloppy, incredibly mediocre Death Company day after day after day and I don't feel so bad about myself or my models anymore. No wonder he throods, I'd want to erase my shame with a new thread as quickly as possible as well.
>>94802636Think it's from 3e, probably around Armageddon/Eye of Terror books. There's an image of two of the Elysians next to an Armageddon Ork Hunter as well. The design was also used in old HH art for some airborne regiment. You can see the Scout torso design on them, coupled with the padded suits and Elysian style helmets.
How can one faction have so much kino but also so much cringe on here its crazy
>>94802706I just last week got the Armageddon codex and didn't see this. I'll have to take a closer look. I know Elysians are 3e era I just meant that specific conversion. It's really cool. I'll have to look at my books when I get to them.Here's a pic I took of Armageddon showing a Necromunda mini as guard, and OG DKOK.
ngl 3d printing feels like cheating
>>94802737unfulfilling, subpar, and you think you're being sneaky but everyone can tell? yeah.
>>94802566>marines fighting stealersi'm watching Angels of Death on warhammerTV right now. fuckin ace when it comes to melting genestealers. I don't care much for the animation or the narrative but fck sake when the first episode opens with Captain Orpheo opening up his bolter on a tunnel full of genestealers... shit makes me wish 40k was real and I could be a space marine kek
>>94802750noprintfag detected. i fully expect everyone to recognize my printed models now that I see all the stls are stolen from the same few sources. i don't care though, i have scans of games workshop models that nobody will be able to tell apart once I paint them. there's plenty of groups that circulate third party models that are obviously 3rd party but the scans of actual gamesworkshop models are aplenty and once painted hard to tell apart from source material which is why even i bought my printer to begin with. fuck Britain, my ancestors threw their drink into the boston bay for a reason and I'd be devilish to go against their will. i'll pirate james STLs for as long as my ISP doesn't give a shit about it
>>94802724UK WD249 and 251 have stuff on Elysians and from this snippet it seems the conversion is probably found in the Australian version of a WD from that era.
>>94802737You mean looks like dogshit? Unless you're printing actual literal copies, in which case kinda based but only if you're using a resin printer and aren't one of those dudes who prints armies of garbage and never paints them.
>>94802798of course I use a resin printer! fdm is garbage for what we want to play with. i totally agree with you, people who print armies of proxies aren't fulfilling the power of resin 3d printers. i think proxy armies are usually ugly as well unless there's a specific theme you're aiming for. but once you really start digging you can find scans of real gw models easily. say what you will about Russia but they are undefeated undisputed champions when it comes to piracy
i'm thickening my paintfuck you
>>94802827based experimenterdo what you want and learn from itreal artists venture and learn
>>94802788Thanks anon. Just ordered that WD and a few around it in hopes of some Armageddon content.
>>94802658New ones are so much better but these are okay to look at.
>>94802827K, keep me posted.
>>94802840I doubt the next vanguard vets will even have lightning claws.
>>94802837Australian WDs seem to have a lot of cool conversions and stuff independent of UK and US releases. Pic from Australian WD310.
>>94802850There will be just one set, schizophrenicly molded into the arms with cloth partially covering them, so you can't cleanly cut off and reuse the bit.
>>94802626It's not hard to save the photos and pretend you're the guy. The original guy might not even be around anymore, but who's gonna know.
>>94802464Looking good.
I remember that one anon that was going to stick real jewelry into his thousand sons.
>>94802892I remember an anon who sprayed a necron warrior with real atomic gold (or was it platinum?) using some kind of gilding machine he had access to at work.
>>94802788Armageddon and Cityfight are my favorite supplements to come out of 40k.
>>94802915>>94802892one of my friends is gilding his custodes and using strontium aluminate to make the plasma weapons glow.
>>94802934the whole era of 3rd/4th was just *chefs kiss*
>>94802934>dreadnought fist has high enough strength for the "destroy a fucking building" stratUrban Conquest my beloved.
>>94802948>Armageddon>Cityfight>Eye of Terror>The beginning of Imperial Armour>All of the Chapter Approved introducing rules for special unitsIt was a pretty good time. I dipped out of the hobby around when 5th came out and only got back in last year around the time of 10th, I have no idea how good/bad we had it in comparison to the last decade or so.
>>94803002I got into the hobby shortly before Armageddon so it was the big event that defined what 40k is for me. I love the apocalyptic grungecore. It's full of over the top heroes but they are all basically just hyped up psycho dudes fighting inside a wider static universe. It's just so cool
>>94797747When GW releases a bad model there's this tendency to focus on a singular element like that's the entire problem.With the taurox its the wheels. With the dark reapers its eyesWith the nu lemartes its the ballgagPeople bandwagon around these singular elements, "fix" it and then act like the model is now good when the reality is that the whole thing was completely fucked.
>>94802724Those aren't OG DKOK. picrel was published a whole year eariler.
>>94803049Fuck
>>94803054Those steel legion minis were simply darren latham representing dkok with the models he had access to.You even see the FW dkok style in the artwork here.
are little baby junior marines still rules legal? I had a small 7th edition army I couldn't quite finish before 8th edition released, and I feel like getting them back out and finishing them up
>>94803062You mean scouts? Yes. They just got an updated model recently but nobody will mind if you use old scouts.
>>94803062No, store managers are required to confiscate and immediately destroy any manlet models they see or James will stop supplying them.
>>94803061Thanks anon I've been looking for this page for ages. It was my keikaku to get somebody to post it.
>>94803094frick
>>94803100wrong quote>>94803088
Why dont smart people play orks?
Whats GWs best game right now? Worst?
>>94803124necromunda and necromunda
>>94803124Necromunda twice
>>94803002I only got into 40k right before 8th was announced, but I feel like I missed 40k's golden age.
>>94803061
>>94803124The most recent rules for Battlefleet Gothic slap. Worst, I'd say mainline 40k is a dumpster fire.
>>94803131There's a new ruleset for BFG?
>>94803124Warcry and uh…tow at 2000 points with house rules.
>>94803148I hurt myself by believing. That was my mistake. Fucking loved BFG.
>>94803155I don't blame you it's a great story
So the guard codex seems to be much like an autopsy report in Ace AttorneyALREADY FUCKING OUTDATED!
>>94803175ok
>>94803175That's standard at this point, dummy. Enjoy that 310pt box of slop.
nu krieg is an abortion.
>>94803124Unironically AoS and all it's spin off games. Worst right now is probably Horus Heresy unless you are a rabid marine slop enjoyer.
>>94803204(you)
I need opinions for my conversion. Yes or no on the leg tassle. Alternatively, I could make it more parallel and add another to the other side cut off the dawn blade I'm not using.Goal is more feminine and stealthy. Considering adding a crotch plate or faulds of some kind, the regular pelvis is a little plain, but I don't want to make the look too busy either.General critique is good too.
>>94803212ikr anon. No one could have an obviously correct opinion like that.
>>94803124>BestSpearhead and KT24>WorstAoS 4th
>>94797747>>94797747The more I look at this sword the more I love how it turned out. I feel renewed and refreshed and wanna keep painting this model so bad. Shame I have some stuff i gotta take care of tomorrow so I dont know if I have the time.
>>94803175>catachans expanded on but the best catachan character that people actually use is removed lmaoBUT HEY WE GOT A KRIEG LAUNCH RIGHT?>special character is absurdly expensive and has a D1 weapon>artillery worse than existing cadian artillery>cavalry worse than rough riders while costing more points>basic krieg squad now has 1 less special weapon>krieg command squad has a lord commissar that has worse stats than normal commissar At least Grenadiers aren't awful I guess after point adjustment? Though at that point they're almost the price of Kasrkin while also being shit at shooting.
>>94803213>tassle
>>94803215
>>94803213its fine. idk about the clear plastic thing though
>>94803210Whats wrong with heresy?
>>94803223 I'm going to be painting it as a huge fusion blade, so it's not going to be all clear.
>>94803228desu that sounds worse.
>>94803213Looks good, remove the fake floating shoulder sockets / bring them in closer to get a more feminine silhouette?
>>94803225I dunno, ask hhg
>>94803124KT besides the balanceWorst is 40k
>>94803225Nta but I don’t like 7th, also the meta is just gross.
>>94802840theyre upscaled firstborn primaris looks bland to .d
>>94803250Good bait
>>94803237No can do on the sockets. I already removed the shoulder pad to round them a bit, but the right one is glued tight to keep it stable through the sword arm.The torso is pretty round already, but I could build out the hips or thighs either; but they're already got a relatively nice silhouette compared to the standard suits.
>>94803259how is it bait? Do you enjoy not having options?
Reivers are cool that is all
Ohhhh no the gene-seed mutation in my chapter is making marines grow huge tits, raise their voices, and widen their hips. Ohhhh no.
>>94803283Why does he have hair? Marines are all bald.
>>94803283All primaris are shit
>>94803225Balance is shit and it's absurdly expensive to play (even with 3D printing and recasts) and highly dependent on your area having a good community for it due to that crap balance. It's a "game" made for single engineer money hoarders and "list builders", which sucks because there's a lot of cool stuff like Zone Mortalis but good luck getting anyone to play.The entire game basically boils down to "everyone promise to not bring too many Leviathan Dreads". I'm honestly really baffled why GW even bothered to make Solar Auxilia/Admech kits in plastic since they're pretty terrible and GW has shown 0 sign of trying to address this issue. Especially for the amount of time and money you will spend to get to a 3k point SA/Admech army.
>>94803291>playing competitively >playing in any kind of competition that enforces 1st part only sloprulesShiggidy diggity
>>94797747Didn't have much time to paint i only got this.Also I found out backpacks are my least favorite part of a marine to paint
>>94803275>>94803296(you)
>>94803296Naw senpai
>>94803308Nice colorsits easier if you dont glue them on first.
>>94803262Eh your call. Anything can be un-glued.
What kind of markings do you think could go well to signate a "prototype" space marine helmet. It's totally for my chapter lore and not because they got printed in a bigger hero scale leaving me to justify their usage on my dudes.
>>94803309hmmmm
>>94803225>7th edition rulesetIt's time-consuming and awful. You think you want this kind of shit (relative WS, I order, AP etc) back but you don't. >the "meta"It's a fun game mode for all its many, MANY faults in terms of how many options you have for all kinds of shit. Only thing is, nobody uses any of them and even a random casual game will mean fighting someone playing boring gay shit like Leviathans. >nobody plays itYour local scene may vary but it only appeals to certain people. If your local area is the same 4-5 dudes playing against each other's SM lists for the last 15 years then yeah, it's basically That: The Game. You have heaps of fun options in HH. Nobody will take them. You have lots of fun mission or game modes. Nobody will do them. You will just be fighting the same very very few people who play the game over and over with the same units (which will be their best unit spammed as much as possible) and it will never change. It being 7th rules, being Marines Only and having a tiny number of retards playing it means nobody new will join it.
>>94803385Shame they're putting all the good AdMech models there.
>>94803370Nobody accused (you) of being a samefag, retard-kun
>>94803396>Shame they're putting all the good AdMech models there.Are they? I see all the skitarii in 40k still while 30k gets dogshit legally distinct servitors, sorry """tech-thralls""" because the designer just came up with some bullshit about them being the necromancer faction
we need to remove the random charge distance from the game and go back to it being a flat 6" move
>>94803407Outside of the Knights, I like pretty much the entire AdMech line in HH. The Armored Conveyer is very neat.I do like the Tech Thralls, but I'd say that's because I can see those being good bits to use elsewhere.
>>94803385Thank you anon, you worded it much better than I did. It's infuriating to me that a lot of the people who play it too are the type to constantly complain about "nu-gw" and constantly make fun of Warhammer for stuff like not having options or narrative stuff now...while they themselves never taking anything but the exact same or optimal options all the time and trying to get them to try fun or narrative stuff is like pulling teeth.
I'm going to equip my Kroot with AKs and RPG-7s and you can't stop me.
>>94802346what model is this?
>>94802737I for one welcome the destruction of GW's monopoly.

>No lasgun spam detachmentI just wanted to lob 100 lasvolleys and deal 2 damage to a helbrute man.
>>94803311>AI Slop
>>94803662Just use the born soldiers one, you'll get lethals into tougher infantry at least, and you get the reinforcements stratagem to bring one of your units back.
>>94803758Does it make sense for Tyranids to make pariahs? I can see the usefulness especially from the perspective of hive fleet kronos but it would mean creating independent organisms completely cut off from the hive mind, even genestealers fall into line when the fleets show up but this thing would have to be a true individual, and wouldn't there be issues with the Norn Queen birthing it?
I am getting into warhammer together with a mate and I painted a dude. All I see is errors but it is mine and the next one will be better.
I think I'm starting to get the hang of painting faces. Really thought I'd never be able to do this
>>94803793Egg is sent to a planets surface so it hatches there, other tyranids simply kill it to return its biomass to the swarm once the planet is taken, a single organism can't survive the planet being digested.On usefulness, it could be an experiment aganist a psylker heavy enemy, or a powerful psyker enemy, rather than make many neuron/zoanthropes you make 1 of these.
>>94797747I have now collected and completed a 2k point army of Iron Hands.Where do I go from here
>>948038531k more points for comp variety so your lgs frequent foes don't get too cocky
>>94803853Prepare for your iron hands to get defeated by the EC since they need to look good in their codex How long have you had that gif and wanted to use it
>>94803853>Another 1k of SMIDEK where to go from here>>94803862Only a few weeks ago, love dubya my favourite president
>>94803834>Grey Knight>Is red
>>94803662I was gonna shit on you and say there's never been such a thing in 40k but then I thought about it and the Imperial Fists often have bolter themed army rules.
All of the new eldar kits are going to be monopose aren’t they
>>94803900yewith the exarchs having options for heads and alternative weapons but that's it
>>94803905I dread the dark eldar refresh upon acquiring the knowledge.
>>94803915it's not like grotesques, court of the archon and beasts can become any more monopose, anon, or that you're going to get anything more than those at the very best.
I want these ladz, how long do they usually take to release for purchase?
>>94803931as long as it takes to release the next kill team box
>>94803931Kill team takes like 5 months to add new kits.
>>948039316-9 months. Buy one on Ebay I have a few listings ready for you.
>>94803937>>94803938Fuckin 'ell>>94803943But those are probably going to be asking for basically the price of the full box
>>94802442Now if only it was 1993 again.
>>94803900Most of the refreshed Eldar kits have posed torsos and legs but have completely swappable arms and heads.
>>94803985Yeah looks like they're going for almost double what the solo box would cost. I'm just running my unused big choppa nobz as the melee guys and boyz with rokkits as tankbustas
>>94804014Yea it's basically worst case scenario. I think they're pretty good rules-wise + they were paired with fucking RATLINGS. Of course nobody wants the Ratlings so the entire's box value is the Orks.
>DG christmas detachment is pretty cool>but it's written for a post DG codex world>so it has to compete with a detachment that is basically detachment + army rule because it was a band-aid to them being the worst army in the game
>>94804029i forgot about this artistmy conspiracy theory was that he is that dow2 caster
Blood angels are getting wings
>>94804059That's a Phoenix for AoS.
>>94803858Would you say 3k is about the sweet spot for a collection to give you a clear army identity with a few alternates for variety? Going too big on a faction collection feels like it kind of defeats the purpose of making your own army to me.
>>94804062You’ve never looked at a phoenix
>>94803868Have you seen Dubya's foray into painting? Easily my second favorite painter who also doubled as a head of state.
>>94803915Dark Eldar updates so far have all been pretty good and faithful (except for Lelith) barring the Drazhar redesign which is still good, if not faithful.Just look at the Eldar Phoenix Lord updates. Someone at GW very clearly still cares about the elves on the sculpting team.
>>94804088It might not be 1:1 of the old Draz but it’s a very cool model at least.
>>94804050Same issue with votann.
>>94804059blood angels aren't getting shitbut there's a wave of generic space marine releases for the launch of 10.5ed with the new combat patrol rulesand in that wave there's multipart outriders, vanguard veterans, a white scar character and a ravenguard character, I'm betting on the latter personally, but it might be any of thesein any case it is not blood angels
>>94804088Lelith can't be explained by GW not really being good at showing attractive female faces due to how they're painted mostly, and the IRL taboo of sex and nudity, so they went with greek hero Lelith, a model focused on her muscular and powerful over a slender seductive murderer design. So we got an ugly face on a non sexy very muscular almost masculine body. They need to take the same apporoach to wychs, male and female as they do the assassins and they'd be fine
>>94804102Fuck can be explained*. As opposed to GW fucking up deldar, they had deliberate decision choices that led away from what the fans wanted
>>94804102not focusing on lelith's slenderness is like giving high heels to the hulk and saying it's now the archetype of a ballerina it doesn't make sense on multiple levels
>>94804108I agree with you anon. I blame society and its phobia and hatred of female nipples and womens bodies for this injustice.
>Start recording an audiobook of the first Inquisitor Draco Book>Last week I had to pull the trigger and get bracesIt's either putting the project on hold for a year or suddenly sound like a dork
>>94804059I don't know what it is but it looks like shit.
>>94804115>>94804107>>94803648How did we go from that to... This?
>>94804117Anon sounding a little big like a dork will be fine, I really would like a good audiobook of the first Inquisitor Draco Book. You can give a brief clip of your old audio vs your new and anons here can vote if they wouldn't mind it (maybe wait 24 hours for the anons that got vacationed over their protest about which thread was the real general). Unless you just dont give a shit about others peoples opinions and do it because you want to, the true based position.I for one vote for your new nerdy voice to read all the sex scenes and all things sexual to really fit the spirit of it being a nerds escapism book
>>94804117Got an audio sample you could share? Preferably a before and after for comparison?
>>94804059Even though I'm sure that's not actually going to be for blood Angels, I guarantee I will see those wings kitbashed on a SG within a week of their release.
>>94804055>my conspiracy theory was that he is that dow2 caster?

>>94804128You’re a crazy person and should talk with yourself less.

>>94804154And what makes you think hes that porn artist? disappeared around the same time? Is the porn artist MIA? Could he be dead?
>>94802639Quite right.
>>94801729I don't like making bases so i usually leave them bare or just paint them goblin green
how come the daemons are so incompressible that cameras glitch and minds go insane when looking at them yet space marines kill them all the same?I know they "respawn" in the warp and only come back after eons to regrow parts or just be in dept to Vashtorr to rebuild them or just wait for warp shenanigans to play with time and regrow them faster but beyond that they still get killed by the dozen
>>94804226So that the game can actually function. Same kind of inconsitancy as chaos markings sometimes driving people mad, to vomit, to die yet chaos guys plaster them everywhere and it never bothers anyone on a battlefield. Only when its a surprise hidden chaos shrine does it drive people mad/ill.To the daemon question maybe they blast sanity but being in real space and somewhat tangiable means they can die if you shot them enough,
Got a jetbike. That's all my warhammer spending for january.
>>94803528Kroot are at their best with a hodpodge of equipment. I'm glad that gw made my dual wielding pistol kroot into a reality.
>>94804226Because tabletop balance.Also space marines know no fear
>>94804226demons are THEORETICALLY incomprehensible and maddening to behold, but they also have to make themselves somewhat comprehensible and not too maddening to behold because otherwise they wouldn't be able to exist in and interact with realspaceit doesn't matter if they have 10 dimensional hands, they have to make a 3 dimensional one to come on the other sidehow comprehensible and how maddening they are is arbitrarily inconsistent
>>94804257
>>94804159Similar nick with "Maestro" bit"Noob" part which could be influenced by competitive Elite/DoW2 environmentLooking at his artstation he was a warhammerfag first and long before becoming porn artist. He tried to paint cool looking normal art before succumbing fully to baiting for coombucks. Might be that he created this profile without the intention to paint porn initially and just wanted to try his strengths at few things at once. Which is why he didn't bother to invent a fully unique nick, there was nothing to be ashamed of initially.MaestroCasts DoW2 videos are 11-10 years old. maestronoob profile 40k obsession comes from this same period. Might be that he got enamored by the setting via RetributionMaestronoob clearly liked MOBA games as well and so did MaestroCastsMaestronoob used to have avatar at his artstation profile which was reminiscent of his face I saw in one of his youtube videos. It looked like cartoony version of itMaestroCasts gave up on his youtube DoW2 casting eventually, but MaestroNoob became successful with his pinup Marines, Guard and Eldar. If it is this same person, it looks like he chose to switch to coompainting since it was more successful.No hard proofs, but it adds up for me enough.
why do so many of you hate current 40k rules
>>94804226Cameras attempt to record reality as it is, but "reality" is a pretty fluid concept when daemons get involved, since they're effectively bleedover from a different reality and form a mishmash of theirs and ours to even exist. However, while the camera tries to reconcile this, the space marine simply knows that as long as his faith remains strong and his blade true, he can slay the beast before him, and this knowledge makes itself true. Faith and will has always been a far more effective weapons against daemons in 40k then bullets. A little girl striking a bloodletter in a courageous attempt to protect her parents will be more likely to damage it than a whole squad of guardsmen shooting at it.There are of course limits, as daemons are forced to become at least somewhat real in order to interact at all with things outside the warp, but it's well-established that conventional weaponry does very poorly against daemons.
>>94804275Thi is the best example of the disparity I've seen. Makes sense to me>>94804277Seems like bullshit but I buy it. The coomer artist seemed far to stepped in knowledge to just be a coomer artist looking for comission work
>>94804226Kind of the wrong question. Minor daemons are killed/banished plenty of times in 40k, so the question is "how do mortals contend with the immortal?"Space Marines and other elite forces are uniquely suited to combating the threat of daemons, as they're generally more composed, better educated/indoctrinated on the nature of daemons, and of a stronger constitution. Further they have exceptional weaponry, some of which is specialized against warp entities and apparatus within their organization (or tangential to it) that concern themselves primarily with dealing with daemonkind.Tau, Guard and similar are generally more fucked. They defeat daemons by overwhelming firepower applied by whatever of their forces can hold on by the skin of their teeth. For Tau specifically, probably looks a little like a pile of dead kroot and firewarriors and the daemon eventually getting blitzed by battlesuits or a railgun shot. For guard. It's human waves until it's blasted under a literal hail of grenades or one really big artillery shell while the commissar is pistol whipping bawling and screaming men because he literally ran out of bullets to shoot cowards.This is all immaterial on the tabletop, because daemons die on the tabletop because you deplete their wounds. Simple as.
Any guides out there for how to deploy/position your army so you dont auto lose on turn 0? Also anything on how to actually score primary reliably?
>>94804278I havent played current 40k rules
>>94804294Yes.
>>94804278I wouldn't say I hate it so much as just disillusioned with it. I understand why they are the way they are. I can see that the game is more accessible and better balanced in a way that appeals to the competitive players. But as both an experienced player and one that largely prefers narratives both in the army building (especially character building) and gameplay portion this edition feels lacking and flavorless in both respects.
>>94804294it depends on what armies your facing for deployment since deploying in cover, on the line, or deep really depends on your opponents army composition.Scoring is never going to be perfectly reliable since your opponent will do what they can to prevent you from scoring, but generally if you are having problems scoring primary you should be more aggressive. you want to get onto points, but you also want to get in your opponents face to make it hard for them to get on the point.
>>94804278Loss of flavor and loss of granularity.
>>948030026th and 7th nearly killed the company and they spent a decade unfucking it
>>94804294As the other anon said there are tons of guides on deployment, articles and videos alike. But the best way to learn and internalize it is going to be by playing more games and getting a feel for it and trying to stay conscious of WHY you are deploying the way that you are.It's so heavily dependent on terrain layout, armies on the field, mission types, and even specifically list choices that it's never going to be a clear cut situation and you have to learn to read and adapt to all the layers of it.And that's before starting the actual game. But it's a crucial skill to learn.People literally lose in deployment if they deploy too far back or too aggressively or too heavily committed to one side of keep too much reserved without a game plan for how to leverage that choice
>>94803353Make them a painted grey tide look.They say ceramide is grey like the color of sprues. Find a way to replicate that with maybe different eye colors?Maybe bright orange or yellow around certain points to make it seem more cobbled together and field tested?
>>94804107That's why I got the old model, much better. The new Lelith looks like she has a midget body.
>>94804117Lean into it, clear the spit from between your braces in the middle of sentences, rattle the spittle when making menacing voices. Nerd the fuck out, it’ll be awesome
>>94804278I have played enough 40k for the novelty to wear off and start feeling the flaws of warhammer as ruleset for an actual game, and I now accuse GW of the sin of persevering in making the same errors and missing the same low hanging fruitsand I also deeply disagree with many of the game designs philosophies they're pursuing or moving towards such as the removal of customisability and lack of cross-compatibility, even if I can understand why they want to follow that path for their interests which simply do not align with the interests of the game or community I don't blame people for enjoying the game where I don't, I do admit that a big part of my disillusionment had to do with a terrible local (and personal) gaming scene which doesn't nurture the most enjoyable aspects of the game: sociability and roleplaying but at an ideological point I think the game should aim to be good and have a measure of depth beyond the fact it's also a silly "beer and pretzels excuse to throw dice"
>>94804318This. The rpg aspects of 40K have been sucked out. At least giving characters more variety in options would be nice. The only ones who have any selections are space Antone captains and even their “variety” is pretty shit. The game is otherwise mostly fine just… lacklustre. Doesn’t stop me from playing constantly tho. I just shit on wysiwig with some of my character’s equipment and get my /yourdude/ kick with writing.

>>94804059Dark Angels wave 2, Sammael :^)
>orks have press da red button!>GSC have final day where they get eaten by nids mid battle>Deldar have the detachment where they compete with Harlies while battlingWhich other armies have actually fun, fluffy and narrative detachments? if your army doesn't have one, how would you make one?
>>94804382It’s something to do.
>>94804385all i can think of is haloscreed where your units get mindcontrolled during combat
>>94804382He's black.
so how exactly does imperial agents work? i dont have the codex. i kind of want to add some sisters, flagellants, penitent engines and repentia to my black templars, i like the idea of like a penitent crusade, but i dont have the rules and i dont want to invest cash into a project i dont understand how to field.
>>94804278Because they are the current rules. In the future anons will talk of the golden era of the glorious 10th edition.
>>94804059see >>94804322
>>94804395Any unit within the Agents codex can be taken by any Imperium army. The number of units you can take is dependent on the game/army size. Certain units like Characters also have bigger limits put on them.The only Sisters units you could utilize in this case (unless you claim proxies) are the Battle Sister squad and the Immolator.
>>94804391it doesn't feel that fluffy? all you do is apply a couple buffs.
>>94804395>i dont have the codex.now you dohttps://gofile.io/d/rV4ixp
Is there a relatively simple guide to glazing? I see all of these great models but have no idea how to achieve those lovely transitions. I'm an impatient fucker and try find the easiest yet best looking effects
>>94804407yeah unfortunately thats why i said all i could think of.i wish admech had a detachment where they get somekind of stationary action to prey and get buffs or something
>>94804400Priest/Missionary with cherub?Inquisitoral killteam?
>>94804406>The only Sisters units you could utilize in this case (unless you claim proxies) are the Battle Sister squad and the Immolator.bummer. lame. >>94804414ty anon
>>94804385>press da red buttonIt's a shame that dread mob isn't very good, definitely needed something to improve it
>tfw waiting for a bunch of flouro inks to turn up from Spain as it's the only fucking place I could find them for what I'm working on>tfw live on the other side of the world>will take 2 weeks minimum to turn upNow I have to paint something else, but motivation is lacking massively
I'm thinking of painting a breaka squad with glowing weapons, so hit as if they look like the mace / rokkit part has been in a forge. Reckon it would look good?
>>94804446could work for the hammers, not for the rockets
>>94804423Black Templar are still upcoming
Are we expecting anything other than Emperor's Children to get revealed at LVO this week for 40k?
>>94804473yes.skaven for 40k
>>94804473not really, nothey could show the new imperial knight but I doubt it
>>94804476AdMech already got a codex
>>94804457>one of the hammers has a rocket on itI'm assuming that's the tankhammer. I'll probably just paint that one normally, even for orks it doesn't make sense to have a glowing rocket
>>94804483yes but darkmech and skaven are going to get one together
>>94804446I wanted to do some glowing red iron on the exhausts for the kustom boosta blasta but decided to do the head discoloration instead. I realized doing glow effects on minis without an airbrush is not fun and the results are mediocre to bad. If you got an airbrush, go for it.
>>94804489>Chaos xenos
>>94797747have it then you bastard
>>94804497skaven are just chaos. thats like calling thousand sons chaos imperium
>>94804496Yeah I do, that's the plan at least, I just have to make it look a little darker this time (and in the right spot)I'm the anon that painted the glowing big shoota on a trukk, which may have irritated a few people due to where I put the effect on the gun
>>94804473Full Space Wolves and Grey Knights refresh getting announced. Thousand Sons and World Eaters getting wave 2.Year of Space Marines starts now.
>>94804504Are Skaven degenerated and mutated humans like Tzaangor? If not, then xenos
>>94804509post pic
>>94804499did that guy stab a magical pony? or a cyberpunk freak?
>>94804518do you know what skaven are
>>94804519
>>94804518They are generated and mutated votann.
>>94804526kino
>>94804518Pretty sure one of the common theories is that Skaven were a Dwarf hold that dug too deep and got isolated from the others, descending into ruin and degenerating when they discovered a Warpstone deposit.
>>94804522Do you know what 40k is?
>>94803120Because they're smart
>>94803120Because smart people don't play 40k, anon. We're all in this boat, you should know that.
>>94804338Neither is great. As an Eldar she should have a more slender body with more subtle muscles. Might be just the way she's painted, but she doesn't need that defined ABS.
>>94804518Dwarfs believe that Skaven were born from Skavor, a disgraced dwarf ancestor god that turned himself into a monster because he was better at working flesh than metal
>>94804535do you know what warhammer is
>>94804525That reads as heat from shooting it. Were people really mad the most hot part should be on the other side? lmao. The exhaust heat discoloration I did on the kustom boosta blasta are also on the other side where they should be, I know cause I get these colors on my motorcycle just next to the engine exhaust, not on the muffler. What counts is if it looks nice or not
>>94804525Why isnt it hot on the tip?
>>94804525Also, how did you do the rust effect on the metal? Is that an effects wash?
>>94804520Terrorchem is activated
>>94804338Which is the old one, in that case? Because they both have giant heads compared to their bodies. This is one of those models that I actually don't get the hate for, it's like people see female skin and immediately hate it if it's not attached to softcore coombait.
>>94804595This is the old one
2025 will be the year that Half-Eldar become canon.
>>94804595>it's like people see female skin and immediately hate it if it's not attached to softcore coombait.Correct. Women should not exist unless lovely in some way. This is why all Sisters are canonically pretty in my head. Also Tau.
>>94804425>Bring grot tanks back from legends>Remove the "two sources of hazardous makes you fail on a 1-2" rule>Killa Kans do d3 instead of d6 mortals to themselves if they fail their thing
>>94804618>All sisters are pretty TauWeird headcanon
>>94804622>Remove the "two sources of hazardous makes you fail on a 1-2" ruleFuck off, blowing yourself up is hilarious.
>>94804496Love it
>>94804330>>94804324Is there any merit to coaching to "get" these concepts? How long is it supposed to take someone to understand this 10+ years?
>>94804625Not what I meant, but you know, I dig it. Now I want to see Tau in Sister armor.
>>94804566>Were people really mad the most hot part should be on the other side?Different people for different reasons. I find it weird that the heat shield is the hottest part. The tip of the barrel should be the part glowing with some glow coming from the gaps in the heat shield, but not the heat shield itself. But I shouldn't question ork weapons, so whatever.
>>94804627Oh I agree, but are you the same anon? Because you're going to have to choose between "hilarious" and "not bad"
>>94804632I’d say after 100 or so games you should have it down pretty well.
"astra militarum""aeldari""drukhari""adepta sororitas"
Playing against World Eaters tonight as CSM. Think I’ve got a solid chance of beating them but will post pics later. Any advice from anons on countering them? It’s only a 1000pt game so not too many units.
>>94804678Come on now. Sisters have been Sororitas for a long fucking time.
>>94804695And SMs have been adeptus astartes for a while and we call them marines still
>>94804678Adepta Sororitas is much older than the rest of them. It's just as common as Adeptus Astartes, Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Officio Assassinorum, Adeptus Arbites, Adepus Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Adeptus Ministorum and probably few others.
>>94804682To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot it until it dies.
>>94804697Yes, but there's nothing wrong with calling them Astartes either now is there?
>>94804678that's not how you use that meme
>>94804705Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>94804678I will always call them Guard or IG, but I have to admit that Astra Militarum is a cool name.
>>94804678I will never accept "Dark [Faction Name]" ever ever ever EVER
>>94804695Sisters were Adepta Sororitas before they were Sisters of Battle. In RT rulebook it talks about the organization as Adepta Sororitas and refers to it as The Sisterhood with squads of battle-sisters. But Sisters of Battle is not used.
>>94804678Literally no one ever uses the term Aeldari ever. Even the GW affiliated shills still call them Eldar. Militarum and Drukhari still get stumbled over every time someone has to refer to their factions that way because they feel so unnatural.
>>94804717Drukhari is definitely the least offensive of the new branded names (except for maybe T'au which is just funny).Dark Eldar was a weird name and Druchi has a long history in fantasy that makes it feel like a natural rebranding. Eadrith Ynneas is too much of a mouthful anyways.
>>94804678>Astra MilitarumNerd emoji>AeldariSUPER nerd emoji>DrukhariSimply the coolest way to refer to them. "Dark Eldar" is lame and "Deldar" is gayer than a cock touching another cock.>Adepta SororitasObjectively correct, but "Sisters" is also acceptable. "Sisters of Battle" is nerd emoji.
>>94802737
>>94804714
>>94804566The discussion went on for some time, I wasn't involved but I just gave my reasons and left it at that. There was a persistent anon from memory but it didn't bother me>>94804580Nah it's a few paints from the AK rust set and drybrushed over with pro acryl dark silver. No effects this time round>>94804573I can't remember why I made that choice desu, I think there was a reference somewhere where the tip was darker than the rest
>>94804732>"Deldar" is gayer than a cock touching another cock.
>>94804622That sounds much better desu, bring back the squatted grot stuff so we can actually make a grot army. I can't remember if the old shooty power trip was worse or not. D6 wounds is kinda fucked, especially if you push the army rule or a stratagem and do more damage to yourselfI'm the original person you were replying to btw
I may have made a mistake with getting into GSC. An Abominant and an Iconward are great for Aberrants and Metamorphs are great but they're sadly out of stock and even without them it's super expensive.

>>948047651 sound better than the english name, 2 does not
>>94804672Thats with the same army (possibly army list) the whole time? cause I have a very bad habit of changing armies/lists when i get stomped which is all the time out of 295 games in all of tenth edition i have only won 49 games and tied 7
>>94804756GSC are known to be among the most expensive armies, only being saved by their Combat Patrol
Do the Tau have to deal with GSC?
>>94804779You've played almost 300 games and don't understand what you're supposed to be doing in deployment? What's your current mindset like when you start a game and go into to deployment? What are you thinking about and considering?
>>94804790Yes. One of the first Cain books has a Tau-afflicted Imperium world dealing with a GSC infestation. At the end, it's strongly implied that a few of the Tau that go back to their own planet got NIDDED.
>>94804790GSC can theoretically infiltrate any species, even though we mainly see the human focus. Tau have some bullshit "cure" for the Genestealers kiss though. Orks also notably can tell when an Ork isn't "only" enough.
>>94804813Isn't "Orky" enough*
>>94804785I have two of the old one, which is great for having acolytes and neophytes as the base of your army as well tanks/transports but it lacks characters. Magus is shit and having two doesn't help. I want to get a broodcoven what is a cult without its figurehead, and Primus is nice with Neophytes but I may just make my own Primus with extra bits from the Magus and I have a spare Arbites guy on Sprue for the more tactical look.The new combat patrol box is good too with metamorphs, Ridgerunner and Jackals are fine too I guess? I'm not into competitive stuff, just gonna collect and play random 1000/1500pts games casually.
>>94804756A protip is that for every box of acolyte hybrids, get a box of a necromunda gang of your choice. The acolyte hybrid set is stuffed to the gills with arms, but only five bodies. All those extra arms fit great on necromunda dudes with some minor cutting and you effectively get 15 dudes for the price of 10 because necromunda gangs are 10 bodies.
>>94804790sometimes, but while their acceptance of the diverse makes it easier for weird looking people to grow without raising alarm, their society is not as easy to infiltrate due to a general higher standard of living, and more pervasive surveillanceallegedly they have some way to address the infection if they find it tooit's surely a different environment for a genestealer, one that might require a whole new approach
>>94804836Are you... is that the Ai summary from whatever search engine you use?
>>948048484chan is testing out AI posters to help combat plummeting user numbers and promote more active and informative discussions
>>94804848no, I'm just answering in a boring way a boring question if you see a similarity in structure with bot responses is because they too like to fill up space with empty or redundant conclusions
BEHOLD!40ks best planet to live in
>>94804856if this general is any indication of how 4chan is as a whole it's not particularly surprising people are leaving
>>94804756Poke around your locals for the broodsurge box that came out with their codex. I've seen them in a couple of my stores and even snagged one discounted 30% off. It'll get you your abominant, a benefictus which seem to be a pretty consistent staple for most lists, an assortment of useful infantry bodies, and two trucks.
>>94804912You should post something interesting ano, be the change you want to see
>>94804768Beat this>Dark Space Elves
>>94804707Lmao you need to go back
>>94804779Imagine caring about your win rate
>>94804948I've always found the presumed mindset behind this buzzphrase interesting
>>94804934Dark Elf Space Troopers
Primed my assembled Space Sharks today. Now the hard work begins.
>>94804779Hey man it's a game>>94804959Some hobbyists are actually dweebs
>>94804768>>Drukhari>>AsuryaniI think the disliking of these terms has purely to do with how recent they are, because they're neat, concise and draw from elven lexicon (fantasy dark elves are called druchii at times and nobody really rejects that name for them)
>>94805046Good points but getting your cheeks clapped like the child of a broken home every week kills any desire to play the game in a hurry for most people.
>>94804856and how do you know this?
>>94805073Are you looking for competitive games? Or casual friendly games? PUGs are typically going to be sweat fests so unless you know the guy just beware. It sounds cliches but preface what kind of game you want. If it’s casual I am sure you’ll find others who want a chill time of beer and pretzels. If you are just looking for cut throat competitive games and playing casual lists and playing casually you are gonna keep repeating the same outcome anon.
>>94805091Because Instagram and Facebook did it first.
>>948048564chan is absolutely overrun with bots for years already. All most popular boards like /v/ and /pol/ are ghost towns. /tg/ is obviously full of bots as well.
>>94804714honestly same
>>94804678lumping sororitas in there is the most secondary thing I've ever seen on here
>>94804959Do you even play the game mate?
>>94804714I just think adding "astra" there is lame
Necrons are way too cost efficient what the fuck is this shit?
>>94805236Starshatter that bad, huh? Haven't played into it myself yet.
sex with blueberries
>>94805236It’s banned from 3 of the tourneys in my area lol. I haven’t played against it myself yet, just haloscreed admech which is pretty good.
>>94805306AdMech is apparently finally fun to play now. My friend who has been miserable all edition said he finally is enjoying the faction again and feels like he actually has the tools to play something besides Skitarii spam.
>>94805306lol what backwater place bans detachments hickwater USA
>>94805344There was that one tournament that banned Index Eldar before the edition even started. Everyone was ragging on them for weeks despite the fact they ended up being completely right.
>>94805236>>94805357I'll just never understand why people care. water is wet, sky is blue, gw balance is shit. you know damn well 40k is never going to be "fixed", so why lose sleep over it.
>>94805397>I don't care about having balanced games so noone should
If clones don't have a fate/soul/whatever & most clones have terrible bad luck, how do Kin cloneskeins work?
>>94805516Clones still have souls, they're just slightly finished from the original. The only notable effect of this is that you can't clone psykers (or nulls) without them losing that capability. Creating a clone just creates a new soul unrelated to the original unless you have some very advanced and specific soul technology to move an existing soul like the Haemonculus Covens do.
>>94805532Meant to say diminished, not finished
>>94805516>If clones don't have a fate/soul/whatever & most clones have terrible bad luckthat's the thing, that assumption is wrong and derived purely from one experiment the imperium did with the afriel strain
why are escher the good lasgun gang in lore? doesn't really reflect either gameplay nor their chemical weapon themeing.>>94805516kin are not straight clones, they're more or less designer babies, same reason the Kriegsmen are ok, they're only partially based on a single template.>>94805532lore is inconsistent, they sometimes bring back the concept introduced with the Afriel Strain that clones are unlucky.
Demons have no ears. Or noses. Or genitals.
>>94805516>If clones don't have a fate/soul/whatever & most clones have terrible bad luckMost clones don't have this.Only thing that ever had this was the Aphriel Strain, which is specifically an artificial abhuman strain that was created by splicing the genomes of the Imperium's greatest heroes.Every other clone thing in 40k are just fine.Like Goliaths in necromunda, most of whom are mainly vatborn, ie. clones. And the only difference between vatborn and natborn Goliaths is that natborn (ie. naturally born) tend to be more intelligent and live longer.Other clone things are Krieg for example.And Krieg basically in no uncertain terms, are hinted to be either full clones, or half clone children of Colonel Jurten. The latter part is based on the fact that we have the Krieg book and in it Jurten has techpriest who he is close friends with.And on Jurten's deathbed the techpriest basically tells Jurten that ONLY a man like him[talking about Jurten] is capable of bringing the Krieg civilwar to a righteus end.Just make a guess what the techpriest insinuating here.Also to point out, in the book, we never actually get to see what Jurten's final decree was and how the Krieg civilwar was meant to be won. Only thing we do know is that the techpriest comes out of the room announces Jurten has passed away, and since he was one of the senior members of the loyalist side and Jurten's closest associate/friend it makes sense he'd take over as the leader.
>>94805579>>94805569>>94805555>>94805532Vat grown can also mean test tube baby, not necessarily clone baby. And more than just the Afriel Stain had problems. There's also Horus clones & such
>>94805619>And more than just the Afriel Stain had problemswhere?>There's also Horus clones & suchexplicitly didn't have a problem, but they're a terrible way to prop a character from a terrible writer and should be ignored with prejudice
>get excited to try out a new painting technique>realise how much of a fraud I am when I attempt it
>>94805619>There's also Horus clones & suchWhich haven't had any problems.Horus clone was just fine, only thing happened was that Abaddon killed it.And the reason Abaddon killed it purely so GW and the writers could show how "better" Abaddon was compared to his father.Another is the Ferrus clones made by Fabius, all of them were fine.They only died because rape snake Fulgrim was hellbent on trying to get the Ferrus clones to join Chaos so they could be friends again, but Ferrus is stubborn as fuck and told Fulgrim to fuck off and it always ended in Ferrus dying because they fought.

Gravis look better than terminators
>>94805915Naw bro, and I say that as someone who likes gravis.
>>94805915How dare you have opinions I understand but respectfully disagree with.
>>94805929Too dark...
>>94805832I thought it was a novel.Besides, it's canon if you need it for your story, and inconveniently unusable or not enough if your story requires them to not be able to use such a tool effectively; so it's irrelevant.
>>94805835Too light
What's your favorite pattern of Terminator Armor?I'm a big fan of Gorgon myself.
>>94805949The only terminators I like the look of are the grey knights terminators and the new librarian terminator from the starter box.I guess the psychic hood does it for me or something.
>>94805949Tartaros and it’s not even close.
>>94805949Indomitus is the only terminator armor.
>>94805949Cataphractii
>>94805990>>94805983>>94805980Lol, I'm going to pretend this was genuine and not on purpose because it's very funny. It's definitely a contentious topic either way.
>>94805996I like cataphractii because i can use them as heresy era terminators
>>94805949
>>94805949And how many Gorgon terminators do you own, mister big fan of Gorgon.
Is 4 vehicles in 2k for Ironstorm too much?
>>94805835Those barrels... Drill em...
>>94805949I only ever liked the chaos version of indomitus because of the lumbering beast look granted by the helmetsIronically I think that they actually look worse with better proportions (the new kit)
>>94805949I know 40k is scalecreeped to hell and back, but holy shit they did the cataphractii and tartaros incredibly wrong. They are fucking smaller than tacticals in the same line ffs
>>94805949Tartaros character models look so good but the actual squad kit is ridiculously ugly
>>94806042No I run 5 counting the one dreadnought in my firestorm list, and I don’t even get bullshit abilities.
>>94806081I dropped the 5th to fit in a funny unit I wanted to give a shot, if it doesn't work out I'll go back to 5.Titus + 6 Bladeguard in a RepEx
>>94806042my friend ran 8 and it was disgusting
>>94806032Oh, I would never collect space marines
>>94805949not my model, but I actually line these goofy fucks
>>94806051you say the new kit looks worse but they look better than that crap you posted??
>>94806098I’ve dropped bladeguard completely for now. T4 is just too weak, they barely kill a couple terminators and clearing t5 targets isn’t a problem in firestorm. Melee is a luxury. I just tool around with flamer marines in an impulsor and fuck shit up. It’s not my opponents charge phase, it’s my overwatch phase.
>>94806110They're mainly there because I want to use Titus and he's cool.
>>94806053>I know 40k is scalecreeped to hell and backIs it though? What's the most glaring scale problem in current 40k? Everyone keeps pointing to new Cadians but they look fine to me.
>>94805949Big pauldron
>>94806116Fair. I’m still working on mine. Dunno what unit to put him with tho probably gonna. Throw him in some Sterngaurd at some point.
>>94806126Sons of Malice are super cool. Have they gotten any new lore attention in recent years?What's that art from?
>>94806136Idk I just like terminators
I LOVE REROLLS PLUS SUSTAINED HITSI LOVE REROLLING HITS TO GAMBLE ON THE CHANCE OF MORE HITS
>>94806164I mean we are just all degenerate gamblers who paid our money up front.
>>94806109Yeah. By making them taller and bulkier, they actually more severely highlight how weird and fucked the proportions on Indomitus is. For the old models, I can think "these look weird because they're old and heroic scale"; for the new ones, it's "these look weird because Indomitus armour is fucked up and makes no sense".
>>94806175I'M BUYING 9 BOLTER INCEPTORS SO I CAN REROLL GAMBLE EVEN MORE
>>94806154Looks feminine. Weird.
>>94806190It's on purpose, the artists has a little obsession with women so they drow a lot of femarines, but their stuff is very cool
Is there anybody at your LGS you'd refuse a game against?
>>94806263the Knight player
>>94806272What's his full name and home address so I can also refuse a game against him
>>94806272B A S E DASED
>>94806263admech players usually. they are just one bad day away from breaking. and who knows what could set them off, maybe one loss too many and they'll start going around gunning down people starting with their opponent. rather stay away from that
I have a spartan tank, is it worth it to pay the transport tax to ferry my mostly infantry army, or should I save the points and deploy even more dudes?
>>94806272literally skill issuefucking git gud scrublet
>>94805949cataphractii is unadulterated ludokinoindomitus is good with the new kittataros should be deleted from memory
>>94806263The one eldarfag at our shopdude has one full unit painted up only and plays extremely sweaty has a full on temper tantrum when he loseshe hasn't been around much because he's waiting on the krieg refresh to start a new army
>>94806335>same seething Knightfag as alwaysNo one likes you. Not one person. You can scream and cope and cry about "skill issues" all you want. It will never change the fact that your army is an active fun vacuum. You are the most hated person at your LGS.
Its a little GROG in here, innit?
>>94806410nah shitass everyone loves playing me cause im an easy winkeep being obsessed loser
>>94806335I play Ultramarines and every knight game goes like this>Oath 1 knight because it put a toe into cover>He does Rotate Ion Shields>Kill it with anti-tank>Move onto second oath target, most likely an Armiger>Kill it>New turn>His knights blow up one thing each>My turn>Double oath>Kill 2 more things>"damn i'm gonna concede here i don't think I can win">Game ends at battleround 2 and I've wasted a day
>>94806435Problem, yah phobos marine loving zoomer FUCK?!
is it worthwhile to have a rhino in my tsons army if i only have squads of 5 rubric marines (each has an HQ with them so 2 different squads wont be able to fit in the rhino). or should i just take another squad of cultist or chaos spawn
>>94803120Because Orks are a shit unfun army and have been for basically the entire games existance. Its fun for your opponent because they get to mow down dozens of models a turn without ever having to worry about getting shot off the board turn 1 because you'll have to pay for shooting profiles that are hitting on 5s but also a downgrade in every way from their imperium counterpart and your entire army lacks any anti-tank so your entire strategy will always boil down to ignore everything except melee and spamming the same 5 meta units and hoping that you murder enough shit in melee during your waaagh! to where you can safely do nothing but sit on objectives for the next couple of turns. Its a boring way to play and if you cut just 3 units from orks arsenel their win rate would plummet by easily half.>>94803225Its fucking awful I've played it before as emperors children. It's very expensive to play and heavily rules+option bloated and takes ages for shit to get done and units will either die instantly to certain weapons or be outright immune to them. Shit balance with a hefty amount of lascannon spam more than modern 40k ever spammed lascannons and plasma. Marines and guard only so the armies are boring and no matter how much HH fags will tell you that the legions make them unique they don't its like a single special unit which is just a standard unit but with 1 extra rule and no the custodes, admech and daemons are basically underdeveloped and I've yet to see a single person play them and thats still only 5 factions to 40ks like 20. Insufferable retarded fans who treat it like a historical (hint its not and they will play it like its 40k and not a historical) all the "options" it has over 10th are a fucking lie because guess what? Even with point values certain weapons are still absurdly better than the other ones and the real problem in the first place was shit weapon profiles or ones that are simply too good at everything.
>>94806451+1 to wound Oath target is insanely juiced, what's in your Ultras list aside from Guilliman?
>>94806263There's a guard player who I try to avoid. Every 6 months or so I play him in the hopes that he's changed but he keeps getting worse. Last time we played he:>Brought a meta netlist>Pitched a fit and almost ragequit when I blew up 2 tanks in one turn>Played a bunch of his units wrong (all to his advantage)>Played movement sloppy and hid dice rolls from me>Complained about how GW keeps screwing guard overAnd all his models are painted just to the 3 color requirement, no personalization or character

>>94806478Sounds EXACTLY to the letter like a guard player I know. Spams tanks and basilisk to just make everything unfun for everyone,bitches about any nerf to guard no matter how retardedly OP their stuff is and always complains about the removal of conscripts so he wants to always play 8th (using codexes) where guard was fucking bullshit OP.Is there something mentally deranged about guard players?

>>94806518guard players have a reputation for being the whiniest in the playerbase alongside eldar for a reasonyou saw the temper tantrum they threw last week over the codex changes

>>94806537complaining about posts is almost as bad as ritualposting
>>94806520DG bell guy DUH
>>94806532Yeah I don't understand that? Your basic infantry squad is now just the fucking cadian one and the only difference is it says cadia instead of "infantry" and you lost a heavy weapon big whoop not like your gonna actually use infantry outside of like 2 squads to babysit objectives instead of taking oops all tanks so that half your opponents army can't kill you.
>>94806518>>94806478>Good friend of mine decides to start a new army with 1k points>It's guard>Prints off 5 leman russes and 2 sentinels for his entire armyPlayed against it once and it was one of the most unfun games I've ever had. Will refuse any other games with that army until he adds some infantry, because fuck vehicle spam entirely.He brought it to a tournament with 3 other all-tank guard lists and got 1st. So glad I didn't show up to that shitfest.
NEW THREAD >>94806560>>94806560>>94806560
so if i disembark a unit from a transport that has moved, does that mean even if i use temporal surge then that unit wont be able to move?
thats a throoder thread
>>94806532There are a lot of bad eldar players because the army so often winds up being busted op, so it's accumulated probably the highest percentage of waacfags over the years.Guard are harder to explain. Maybe a mixture of historical autism that attracts them to regular human soldiers mixed with low level retardation keeping them playing 40k rather than a historical? Possibly some strange main character syndrome about being the underdog heroes? I can only guess.
>>94806569The full paragraph says they can't move further this phase, but the summary says this turn. I'd say that because it's an ability and not a move action, you'd be able to move using temporal surge
How is my Logan Grimnar?
>>94806657Fine.
>>94806318The more expensive the unit is than the transport the more worth it is. If they are less or equal it is not worth it.
Would you refuse a game with a stompa? Im buying one but im worried no one would play me
>>94806879nah just make sure you know how fucking titanic/towering works
>>94806473Orks are fun if you play dread mob, taktikal brigade, or cult of speed
>>94804756If you get some Goliaths, you can use the dudes that ride the truck as extra units. You just gotta get creative with the expensive army. Like >>94804831 said, you can kitbash the fuck out of your boxes. I got the Broodsurge box and I've got torsos and arms out the ass to mix with whatever legs I can find.
>>94805949indomitus all the way
>>94804573>>94804738>>94804525If the shoota has a large metal gasblock right there it would be hotter than the muzzle. The muzzle being a thinner piece of metal with a larger surface area would cool down faster than a thick solid block of machined steel like a gasblock. Orc weapons are also made and function by different rules than real ones. You pained it fine.
