Haven't been to the Local game store enough to make a proper answer, but the people seem friendly, and the place's bread and butter seems to be trading cards so it might be pretty friendly towards the usage of third party and/or 3D printing proxies.
So everything seems good so far in my book.

Exclusively sweat Lords and brand new players and nothing in between. Sadly there are only a couple people interested in casual narrative stuff and most of them feel pressured to play more competitively anyways just because the whole community seems to prefer it. Even though most of those people will also admit they don't like tenth edition as much as ninth.

Fairly diverse. Probably a third are hobby dads with barely any time to play. Another third are hardcore comp players who don’t give a single fuck about narrative or fun games. The last thing third are a mix of grogs and newbies as well as /yourdude/ enthusiasts like myself. AoS has been taking a lot of the more casual players time lately while 40K becomes more competitified. I usually spend a lot of time teaching new players and older guys coming back how the game works while trying not to crush them too hard since I play constantly and have a lot of practice with my lists.

Big monster mash in the middle. 3 fire prisms kept me playing cagey for 2 turns, but I was in good shape for turns 3+4 waaaghs. Ghaz plus a squad of nobz brought the avatar down to 4 wounds. Next turn ghaz was marked for death so the avatar attempted a fallback to open up shooting, but I forced a desperate escape to ignominiously kill him.

The yncarne fell back from the meganobz to try and kill ghaz, but failed the charge. After ghaz took care of the avatar, he made short work of the yncarne. 2x5 nobz in the middle killed some farseers and warlocks, while the nobz on the right flank killed a fire prism and moved onto the enemy home objective.

Honestly its the best there is. The location used to be a big cafe before the location changed to the LGS, and the guys that run the LGS thought "hey lets lean into the board game cafe angle, sell coffee and tea instead of coke". Plus the nearby bakery had a deal with the cafe before, and offered the same deal to the LGS, so they also sell cookies/cake/etc instead of boring ass candy bars and chips.

15% off warhams, plus loyalty program and store credit prizes for events so decent discount. They kick out people with bad BO too.

I want to keep the Repulsor. Is the optimal play here to drop the lancer, grab a vindicator, and turn the pred from Destructor to Anihillator? Or Lancer/Destructor for reliability.

The repulsor should handle any big vehicles so I’d say take a pred destructor with 2 las cannons. Las cannons will assist with any vehicles and the auto cannon is reliable against elite infantry

Go with the vindicator, the 2+ save and extra shots make it more reliable than the lancer.

They managed to alienate almost the entire 40k community because the local board game cafe shut down and there was a mass influx of D&D players, and the manager decided he could make more money on the tables from them rather than from the warhammer players. The other thing they did that really pissed people off was basically calling them sweats for wanting proper terrain and a table topper so that we could actually use the full size of the table, since the tables were measured wrong when they had them made, so the tables are too small for anything other than skirmish games. Basically no one plays warhammer there anymore and they sure as fuck don't buy it there either.

The leader often feels more like equipment for the unit they're stapled to, or else the unit is nothing but a mandatory extension of the leader. These combinations of leader and unit often feel arbitrarily restricted. It seems clearly designed with the bloated mess of codex space marines in mind, where a half dozen armour variants have a dozen corresponding units and two dozen character models, but the system is then stretched awkwardly over all the other armies where the ranges aren't so complementary.

Its quiet mostly from the guys I've seen they've been decent. Mostly only go to the store though when me and my friend from work decide to have a game on Sunday though.

My plan for my next few games using my new models:
RepEx with Titus and 6 Bladeguard in it
Roboute following, giving the RepEx access to free smoke and Armour of Contempt
Techmarine giving the RepEx heals and the damage nullification stratagem
Run it straight down the middle, cover be damned.
If something is close enough to shoot my Lone Ops, it's close enough for Titus and the Bladeguard to mulch it to pieces
Heroic Intervention to stop anyone tarpitting the big dumb S12 tank - Even against MEQ they should be doing good work and their target makes for an excellent second oath, at which point they're hitting on 3's with rerolls, sustained and wounding on 2s AP-2, which matches up really well into even most elite units.
G-Man is there to punch any monsters with his S14 fist.

Is it too much of a point investment? Because it seems fun

>>94798252
Magic and yugioh have always been the stores' chief money makers which isn't surprising since card games are massive nowadays, I get the impression that they never saw the sales they wanted from warhammer because they refuse to actually do a proper discount, so they're competing with the local warhammer store which is better stocked, as well as online retailers which will actually give you the 20% off. The funny thing is they were pretty much handed the local warhammer community on a silver platter when the warhammer store stopped doing games, but they still managed to fumble it. Rumor is that the manager is just playing favorites with the D&D guys because he's friends with them, so he doesn't care that they're making less money. The staff in there aren't great to be honest, they're nice enough people but they treat it like they're being paid to hang out with friends, and when you play there customers tend to treat you like you're doing a demo, not that you're actually paying to play a game in your own free time, meanwhile the actual staff are playing MtG.

I agree and this is true. But what should the alternative be? I suppose less strict joining requirements for non-marine armies (because letting lose entirely in marine armies simply isn't an option)? But then you'll get super weird stuff jump pack leaders leading non-jump pack units and the wonky movement that arises from that (just look at the shenanigans you can get up to with tyranid warriors) and a mess of different defensive profiles inside units.

I think having leaders operate as their own units as they did in the last two edition, though certainly needing further refinement, was fundamentally a better direction.
Make it so their obligatory special rules only benefit one selected unit to avoid the over-emphasis of castling units around auras. Have a rule for linked charged to avoid the problem where of a unit or a leader one would fail the roll and be left behind while the other charges off.
The problems of that previous system weren't hard to solve, GW just didn't try very hard.

>Because of all the rerolls and bonuses

>>94798379

>>94798408
The whole thing about Tau in 6th and most armies in 7th is that they just took like 300 stacking buffs and rerolls. 10th is toned down in terms of bonuses and rerolls compared to 6/7e
>>
>>94798417
From what I've heard that edition was just miserably designed so I guess templates look a little nicer looking at it from a 5th edition viewpoint. Then again, 10th is probably a pretty big fucking rival for that considering how miserable it feels.
>>
templates were never the problem
competitive mindset and template weapons having good AP were

look at heresy, template weapons took a nerf (although I will say, a bit too much) and the playerbase is generally chill, nobody has a problem with template weapons

template weapons cannot exist in 40k with 40ks current mindset
>>
>>94798408
>And now it just doesn't matter anymore.
Yes because it caused arguments at the table that slowed the game down as you would all argue whether a shot is on the front or side armor. Or if a mini is in or out of the template.

Those rules are fun with friends where you won't get heated but all it takes is one overly competitive asshole to ruin the whole thing
>>
>>94798423
40k as a wargame cannot exist with the current mindset, it's turning into more of a boardgame in my opinion.

I was talking about this with a friend the other day, we settled on the idea that for the most part they should just bring auras back, and use lone operative for the old character protection. The leader rule only really benefits melee units so that they can charge together. Also the way the rules are have given a new rise to taking a character just to put an enhancement on a unit, whilst practically forgetting units already had their own leaders. If enhancements aren't relics or warlord traits anymore then it's stupid to limit them to characters, just apply them directly to the unit, or unit leader. Personally, I think the way characters are governed should be like this:
>does the character unit give a buff that would be too powerful on multiple units at the same time, or is a melee character that would benefit from only needing to make one charge roll?
>If yes, the unit is a leader and can lead any unit in the army, if certain units would be too powerful with this character, then the character is restricted from being used with that unit, rather than the character only being able to lead select units.
>If no, then the unit's ability is a 6" aura and the unit has lone operative.
>but that would make xyz unit/combo too good!
Then adjust points accordingly.
>>
>>94798426
Unfortunately you now have a case where you're arguing over vague interpretations of the rules; look at the FAQs for 10th and how they're styled to try and navigate every little thing because some autist will spend eight hours poring over a codex that hasn't released yet to determine what's most broken and exploitable.

>>94798442
It's the same at mine but the crowd has been heavily slanted towards competitive play over the past while so there's really nothing that can be done about it. It does suck to see people optimize the fun out of the game and their army but I guess that's just the nature of the game and hobby now.

Most people who actually play in 40k tourneys and such are perfectly nice people. Probably better than the average store random.
However, I cannot deny that the game itself of 40k would be significantly improved by death squads regularly going on killing sprees where tournaments are being hosted.

Ultimately the solution was to speed up the game. Rather than spending minutes positioning the template to get the maximum amount of minis under it then arguing with your opponent over what is and isn't in, they decided to have a fixed number or attacks or rolls to determine who's hit. Ill admit it's not satisfying as it was back in 4th to put a big ol pie plate down on your opponent but it also doesn't grind the game down to halt either.

The current strategem system is way more simpler than a lot of the old rules man.
You're straight up delusional if you think the Stratagem page is anywhere close to slowing things down as the old units where the unit's type confered 8-13 different special rules that also required knowledge of 3 separate tables to cross reference, all in different parts of the main book.

That's not hyperbole, that's what you had to do for one of the META units.

No you're right it absolutely does. 9ths strategies and pre game strats were fucking awful.
10th lessened that a bit but it's still a problem. Especially after every FAQ.

But adding templates back in would just add another slowdown to the game

>that's what you had to do for one of the META units.
If we're talking meta then I doubt that the old rules are overly complex compared to the newer ones. Again: look at the FAQs and all of the little logical loops they have to patch up because of autists. I don't deny that this happened in older editions with meta minded players but it's just as bad and clunky now. Instead of a physical template to argue over, you now have mental templates to argue over.
>>
>>94798426
>whether a shot is on the front or side armor. Or if a mini is in or out of the template.
the solution to that was always to get a third guy at the shop come over and say "hey is this mini under there?" and then he'd say
>yes
or
>no
and that was that. You've also gotta be a little generous with your opponent if you expect them to be generous with you. Unless they're the type to dispute every single thing in which case maybe just don't play with them.

I agree with that: the current edition of the game is not suited for templates or many wargaming things I took for granted in older editions. It's turning into more of a boardgame. The game is slow enough.

Bro look at the gunner. He looks like a cadian with a few spikes. From a pure silouhette you'd think he was a loyalist.

Blackstone Fortress had good designs for traitor guardsmen (even if I prefer the Renegade militia look) that they completely just threw away in Kill Team Blooded in favor of generic looking guardsmen.

First of all, he looks completely different from a Cadian.
Different helmet, different shoulder armor, different chest armor, different boots and no/different kneepads.

He looks closer to the old cadians, but even there are some differences.

Wrong again. How does this guy look not absolutely in line with the BSF traitors? Similar with the flamer guy and the others.

No, that anon has it right. Gargantuan Creatures in 7th edition are a fucking mess of overlapping and interlocking rules and exceptions, and Wraithknights were the most meta unit to ever meta. Sure, most of the rules are a follow-up on "this thing is fucking huge" like the poison immunity, but stuff like hammer of wrath, stomp and a random-ass fnp is just unnecessary juice on the unit type.
Nothing in more modern editions come close, a lot because GW has wisened up and started putting relevant rules within easy reach, aka on the fucking datasheet.

Currently I'm planning on running a list that actually uses as few sisters of battle units as possible, 3x warglaives and 1x grey knights terminator squad being the core of it. I've been very tempted to slip in a corvus blackstar just due to having one, but with 3x warglaives and vahlgons I'm not actually hurting for anti tank, so I may go with a 10 man shooty squad of deathwatch vets because they're actually nuts for their points. Personally I think the best detachment rn is actually army of faith, purely because it has the best miracle dice generation thanks to its enhancements, as well as good stratagems, even the detachment trait of being able to use two miracle dice per phase is good because it lets you clutch multiple saves.
>>
>>94798702
>and Wraithknights were the most meta unit to ever meta
because GW was absolutely blatant with rules creep, allegedly one rules writer admitted that when they were setting down the rules for it they realised the thing would be too powerful and cost too many points to be really playable by most people
and upon the problem, the higher up simply told them to keep it just as strong but halving the point cost so people will buy two

which is what they did
>>
What are your favorite subfactions and why?
>>
>>94798531

They look absolutely great, and their kit is one of the best multipart kits GW released for 40k. You get way more options and poses as with the Cadians.

But if you dont like them for their design, thats fair. WGA will release their proxy army shorty, maybe you like those more.

I think it's hilarious that the Wraithknight would likely have been perfectly fine if it'd just been a superheavy walker instead of a gargantuan creature, there's just such an insane disparity between the two types.

That's just the eternal sin of 6th and 7th - Monsters were just so far ahead of Vehicles that it was blatantly unfair.

They have a lot of shelfspace and even more stuff in deep storage. Not only do they have everything from GW they also have any other miniatures and paints from basically any other manufacturer you can think of.

Volunteers organize weekly game nights for a lot of different systems.

Because they didn't receive the more conventional steady piecemeal updates of the other main armies.
Because gw might at one point have considered not to update the eldar but to reinvent them in a different direction.
But even if that ultimately didn't come to fruition an indecision of what to do with the range pushed GW in this corner: on the brink of finally phasing out resin for good from its mainline games but with a lot of eldar units in need to update.
The multiple waves of releases, of which this is not necessarily the last, is the result.

GW could have probably approached the range update with a starter set treatment, but eldar don't fit the bill for any of the two sides of the starters as GW envisions them now
>one side must be marines
>one side must be evil, and have hordes, since the box must look like it's for wargame and not a skirmish game and the marine side cannot have too many models since they're elites

I disagree, eldar are a longstanding faction of the setting and deserved the update they got, even if I personally think they could have cooked up something better if they decided to reinvent the range, but they an always do that with new ranges of eldar, like they're doing with the corsairs and might do with the exodites eventually.

Fun fact: Graham McNeill intended for the audience to side with the Emperor over the priest, despite the priest being the much more reasonable character and warning (correctly) that the Emperor's approach will inevitably backfire because he doesn't understand ordinary humans at all.

NTA, but let me illustrate the gripe I expressed here >>94799887

pic related is not how the model is posed
>>
>>94799955
Its ok i guess but it also is pretty lazy and uninspired compared to the old one. The new Castellan is much better and the two models came out basically at the same time
>>
>>94799440
Not really. It's okay if you absolutely need a timekiller, but the gameplay is shallow, and it really obviously works to put you into a "level X-1" aimless grindfest instead of progressing through any story (think American shit like Candy Crush or Clash of Clans instead of any Asian shit like Girls Frontline or MiHoYo titles). I like 40k and mobile shit, but this really ain't worth writing home about for any reason past maybe the graphic design aspect.

The sculptor probably just mindlessly copied what the original model was doing without understanding why it worked and that it wouldn't work in the over-exaggerated nuGW style.

Would it be better for me to darken the skulls with a nice dark green for contrast or should I darken the inside and leave the skulls glowing green?

You should work on fixing gaps, drilling barrels, brush control, learning to apply washes properly, layering, highlighting that doesnt rely on drybrushing and not overloading your brush

We know wraithbone is unabled to be copied given the expertise of the eldar. However not all their weapons are 100% wraithbone. Would a xenos race or chaos group be able to study and replicate their weapons just using advanced materials/slight warp tweaks?

when you rotate a photo on your phone the rotation is stored in the file's metadata, when you upload the file on 4chan, the metadata is not uploaded

to make sure your photos are straight, when you rotate the picture on your phone, also edit it slightly in some other way, like cutting it or painting a dot on it, when you'll save the image it will be saved without need of metadata

Space marines are babby's first army for a reason. They're recognisable, easy to paint, and are always generally strong to play at a casual level. Space marines by design are incredibly forgiving when it comes to playing them, you can almost rely on them always succeeding at what you set the unit to do as long as it's a realistic aim (for instance your intercessors aren't likely to shred a tank with their bolters, but your eradicators or gladiator lancer are practically guaranteed to put a hole in it) because their rules are structured around you almost always having a way to re-roll to avoid bad outcomes. They are the ultimate inviting shallow end of the pool to the point that some people never make it to the deep end despite being in the hobby for literal decades. The only drawback to them is their lack of appeal to anyone with an inkling of taste.

Sisters have the curse of appealing to top players, as well as being an originally niche faction that suddenly got a massive boost in popularity. Had sisters remained like harlequins where they had a niche playerbase, they could have continued as a powerful but rare army, however they became massively popular with competitive players thanks to their strong rules and general ease of access compared to other niche factions. Sisters were around 52% until we got confirmation that they'd be getting nerfed in the dataslate, at which point the top sisters players started dropping them, and all of a sudden we got their real winrate in the 40s because they're only at their strongest in the hands of the players who know them best unlike other factions that have lists that can be easily piloted. Also I don't care what anyone says, that D2 heavy flamer will be errata'd day 1, wouldn't be the first time a heavy flamer was said to be D2 only for it to be a mistake, I think someone on warcom is into manifesting.

sup, drop the spawn unless you love the models. it's also considered poor form to bring in massive dick monsters like abaddon in such small games imho. but he's good. the game is pretty fun to play and chaos has to be the most varied and fun faction in the game in my eyes now that i've been learning more about the different factions actual gameplay. we also get to have all the cool shit about being space marines without any of the gay shit (hovercrafts, tacticool). veterans is a good detachment but renegade and zealots are considered to be the most bang for your buck.

All the armies with small rosters are one note, you just don't like playing against this one. I'd have to assume your reasoning is you don't want to take heavy weapons as that's the usual culprit of getting tilted over elite armies. Which is fine but also you can't really blame others because you want to take less optimal lists. If it's that big an issue you should find a tighter playgroup of friends who have a similar mindset as yourself and you'll prolly have a lot more fun

I'll never understand why people now insist on painting everything with contrast paints. I admit they have some applications, but they aren't a cureall. You see right? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills looking at all the contrast painted stuff where people just apparently don't see the splotchy watercolorly inconsistencies. And people keep saying but it's faster. I just don't understand. You can get better results on armored paneled marines very fast with traditional paints. Why do you guys paint like this? I'm for real, I want your stuff to look better and the use of contrast on every single thing baffles me
>>
Knights should be a 3000 points only army desu
>>
>>94801232
In my defense, I dont use contrast paints on everything. I used contrast paints and shades for the armor because there's going to be a bunch of layers of highlighting and lightning effects going on over it and I was trying to save what little time I could.

I just kind of prefer basecoating with contrast paints most of the time.
>>
>>94801232
Be careful for some reason a lot of people in this general will really defend those paints. I don't like using them either
>>
>>94801232
Contrast is perfect for base coating. It gets through the slow starting steps, and then let's you do proper painting from there. And for people who hate painting, the model can be done in like 3 steps, even if it doesn't look good.

That said at arms length a poorly done contrast model looks better than a poorly done traditional model a lot of the time. Speaking from experience.
>>
>>94801232
It's better than not painting at all like your ass
>>
>>94801257
I'm going to be honest the makes even less sense to me. Why not prime black, use a makeup brush to quickly brush on your foundational shading and call that good? Less splotchy and guaranteed to follow your intended lighting. You could even use it to suggest the beginning of directional lighting if you're being fancy

Nta but marines with their large flat panels are almost the worst case ontario for contrast paints. I think they can look good on natural looking models like orks and tyranids and especially it you put a bit of effort into getting smooth transitions between colours.

If we're comparing bad to bad. But models could just be painted better. Traditional models badly painted tend to come out too dark IMO, especially if people bathe them in washes. Badly done contrast tend to look to bright and splotchy.
Seems to me that contrast should be used for what it's best at doing quickly to a manageable stand like cloth and skin, and traditional for hard surfaces like armor. People need to get out of bad habits like bathing everything in wash with traditional, and using contrast as a cureall

I enjoy priming with wraithbone cause I like adding shadows manually either with darker colors or with shade paints. I feel it gives me more control over the color.

I did think about putting a layer of kantor blue under the contrast paint but there's already gonna be kantor blue on top with all the highlighting. See pic related, thats what I wanna do for the night lord, and I just didnt feel like spending 3 whole paints, two layers each just to get the basecoat done.

What do you mean? Their models are cool, Kroot refresh was great and it being so huge was unexpected.
From meta perspective both Kroot and Vespid are monsters so they are ugly. Kroot in particular are maybe slightly above the likes of Orks, Slaught and Khrave. They have to devour other sapient beings in order to not break down as a species, they know this and aggressively strive towards this goal. They are inherently incompatible with hypothetical utopian, peaceful and good galaxy and would need to be genocided eventually to let it happen, just like Chaos and Tyranids. Kroot too would be cartoonishly evil villains in any other setting.

Absolutely glorious. Still not the biggest fan of the glow effect on the brain. It's not bad in how it shines on the carapace, but it's too immediate in the shift from fleshy brain to glowy brain.

maybe just go over the freehand patterns a bit, some of the black for example thinned out in parts so you can see the red underneath. Not sure if it would be better to lightly blend everything together or do go for more solid lines. Assuming this is something you were trying to go for.
