>>94811449it should have been catachans vs striking scorpions or catachans vs krootsso now it must either be catachans vs exodites, or vs a multipart vonryan leapers kit with way more customisation and a lictor leader, or vs a new evolved/elite kroots unit that even more heavily ripoffs yautjas

Necromunda has a lot of sick designs that we'll never see inspiration from in the usual game because people don't think it 'fits the setting'.
>>94811530nobody will tell you anything if you use these miniatures yourself anon, they're imperial STC creations, necromunda gangs and the van saar in particular do provide equipment and men for the tithe of soldiers

>>94811484to be fair sometimes it can be hard to justify a special character in some factions, in the cults' case, most of them are isolated from one another, barely aware of their real nature. most cults do not wander around so special characters for that specific cult would be very restricted to that subfaction or something.the idea I previously proposed for a gsc character was a wandering grandfather genestealer figure from the moons of ymgarl, or the kelemorph could get recontextualised from a recurring figure/mutation to an actual real vagabond herosimilarly I think the female magus could get rebranded as a special character instead of being an alternative gender swap sculpt for the standard magus, especially since I think her sculpt doesn't really convey the standard religious tone a normal magus should give offshe's holding the staff with the cult's symbol downwards for fuck's sake, that's capital disrespect/disregard, that's acceptable if the magus herself was a big deal, such as in a special character
>>94811603>he rooted for the cosmic horror and gets mad when the faction designed to be an endless horde that space marines can shoot at gets shot by space marines>he'll be found dangling from the rafters after his faction loses to some deus ex machina that everyone else could have seen coming

I hope the set after Pariah Nexus has better terrain rules
Another thread please!
>>94811656Judging by the way GW is trying to push narratives we're either going to Vigilus, Armageddon, or Commorragh.
>>94811530GSC should be allowed to use Ambots

I want a Chaos Cultist codex.
>>94811414Should I try to magnetise tau battlesuits and stuff?
>>94811690
>>94811692you might not get a separate codex but you might get a krieg-like wave of models added to CSM, but only if the bloodied kill team is successful enough

>>94811818
how different would imperial history be if guilliman liked the color red more than blue and all of the ultramarines wore red instead
>>94811860it would be pretty weird to have a chapter of red marines called the ultramarines
>>94811875hed call them the red ultramarines
>>94811860Sanguinius would have declared war on the Imperium for the right to have the Blood Angels wear red.In an inexplicable twist, the White Scars would start wearing blue armor.
>>94811882sanguinius could have called his the blueblood angels, due to their nobility
>>94811697Not much harm in doing so, you get extra flexibility in your miniatures and list and the designs are pretty modular in an on themselves.Unless you were planning very particular poses and conversions for the models.You should be able to find comprehensive guides too.
>>94811875They're called Ultramarines because they come from Ultramar, though. Absolutely nothing to do with their color at all. :^)

>>94811414>Titus Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them, now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.>Titus was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships, daddy.">Dad said "NO! YOU WILL BE KILL BY DEMONS!">There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.>"This is Joson," the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!">So Titus gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.>"HE GOING TO KILL US," said the demons!>"I will shoot at him," said the Cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. Titus plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.>"No! I must kill the demons," he shouted!>The radio said "No, Titus. You are the demons.">And then, Titus was a Zombie.
>>94811434
>>94811958>TallarnGet on habibi, you're manning the the twin back breaker at the front
>>94811956if they were called that way due to the place of origin they would be the ultramares and not the ultramarines, clearly they're called such because they're the very best, so they're the ultra marines
I saw reddit talking about a news article talking about GW getting a fourth plastic factory.>it used to be for cryptofascists>it's an amazing satirical setting!Is it me or are these opinions... a decade out of date?I don't even remember 40K being a satire. The setting seems more serious than ever, no matter how much diversity, inclusivity and bad sculpts they have.
>>94811741Why would they want to stop you from literally doing exactly what they asked you to do
>>94811606>that picWhat is that speaker kit called so I can look for a recaster on it?

@94812094kys throoder
>>94812041When you write fiction about how silly or horrible things could get if a logic was taken to far, there is the very real possibility of the scenario becoming real.It's less satire and more "fun over the top"
>>94812041>I saw reddit talking about a news article talking about GW getting a fourth plastic factory.the yearly investor report talks about it, yeah, they're expanding in the surrounding area to have another plastic factory, and their own factory for paints and paper/cardboardthe latter most probably after the problems they had last yearsI wonder if it's worth investing
>>94812094because that one was made too early by the throoder while this one was made at the proper time, when the previous reached page 8
>>94812109depends how much shares are, I am thinking of throwing 100 quid on some when I get paid
>>94812094(you)
I'm buying my own injection mold machine and mold making CNC mill to save money on miniatures
>>9481204140k isn't political and the people saying it is or should be are missing the pointany irony or satire in either direction emerges exclusively for the goal of having fun, only rotten authors are using 40k's fun as a vehicle for their message or agenda
>>94812138wouldn't you save more from buying recasts? or do you plan on using those tools to recast stuff and sell recasts yourself
>>94812140>40k isn't politicalI'm sure the original writers had no opinions on if the Imperium of Man is good or bad.
>>94811824Would
but this is the throoder thread
>>94812154do you think skeletor is political?
>>94812169no, it isn't, notice the absence of the death company slop post here.
>>94812154What does that have to do with politics?
>>94812152So you make more threads after one has already been made to stop someone from making threads before you. This is crazy behaviour.
uh oh throoder melty
>>94812154They didn't because the very idea of having a political opinion of the imperium is absolutely nonsensical and retarded.>>94812140This guy gets it.
>crazy behaviouryou really need to make it less obvious
Can someone explqin why someone would throod?This makes posting a huge pain
>>94812196No, crazy behaviour is making threads early so that you can make literally every single thread and then whine when people, multiple people, not your boogeyman, make threads at the proper time and ignore your early thread.
>>94812175He is everything is political, but calling things like Skeletor's army political is a waste of time."I don't support people like Skeletor being in power" is so specific and obvious, as to not be worth discussing, I don't know who would disagree."I don't support religious based genocide and censorship" is something the majority of people in the middle-east and north Africa would disagree with. There large swaths of people who think like the people of the Imperium, shown by the people who will unironically argue that the Imperium are the good guys, almost nobody unironically argues Skeletor is the good guy.
a stealth update to the balance dataslate and codexes? its more likely then you think https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_warhammer_40000_balance_dataslate_astra_militarum-wlgr3divgg-lqefzynich.pdf
>>94812288>StealthThey do this for every codex release
>>94812258>almost nobody unironically argues Skeletor is the good guy.>almost
>>94812258>everything is politicalthen you're rotten by modern hyperpolarising ideologies, or are wilfully and disingenuously forcing them, and cannot understand the distinction between fun being used as a vehicle for a real political message (satire), and fictional politics being used as a vehicle for fun (fiction entertainment).even by your own argument calling things like the imperium political is a waste of time because it's a cartoonishly hyperbolic and obvious message and you have to look for people who would disagree with it in extremists who will never get in touch with a warhammer miniature, or strawmen, which can be crafted to support skeletor as well.
how do you keep your clippers sharp?
>>94812323aluminium foil
>>94812305they do not update the balance dataslate without an article you fucking mong along with changes to tau ret cadre and demon strats
>>94812318Do you feel that 40k is somehow a threat to your ideology? Do you also unironically believe that the game makes you hate people?
>>94812327what does that mean
>>94811414What recasters do you guys recommend? I usually use wtg but they're missing a lot of the OOP forgeworld stuff, guard especially
>>94811449>valrak reported GW will continue making kill teams for more IG regimentsman if true catachans are at the bottom of what I care to see, I want Valhallans, Mordians, Elysians

>>94812365huh i guess i gotta buy some aluminium foil thanks
>>94812369>they're redundant because I say so!Doesn't work that way, cunt
>>94812361>>valrak reportedthat's his speculation, not rumours given to him, he makes the difference
>>94812388Explain how valhallans or mordians would be different from the two existing guard killteams or how elysians would be different from the scions you little crybaby IGfaggot
>>94812400>Valhallans+1 Toughness if over 50% of their base is covered by Valhallan Blizzard
>>94812369>redundantthe whole Krieg line is redundant with the cadian lineeven the cavalry was already being done by the attiliansif gw thinks it can cash on all those people who said they wished the aquilons kill team was an elysian kill team, then they will do it, and can remedy whatever apparent overlap in role with some gimmicky interactions or differing equipment
>>94812369>>94812400>explain why different models would be different Huh? The fuck?

>>94811530I think special rules for a gang based army uniting to fend off some other army would be neat, but no way they go through with it. Personally I just want rules to add Necromunda Squats to Votann lists, if not release more units I can proxy.

>>94812436What faction do you play?
>>94812475>There's going to be a slew of BL submissions that will have been generated using ChatGPT and the like.So, there's going to be good writing for a change? The horror!
>>94812476How would they recognise that a bot has been used to write a short story? by judging its quality? they would already do that allegedly.
>>94812319I don't see how everything isn't political. In He-man the Earth is round, some people believe that the Earth is flat. This is a fact that X amount of people will be offended by the political stance He-man took.Culture war is the hyper fixation on politics, I am advising you to ignore petty politics to focus on the game/show, you are advising that I pretend they don't exist because to acknowledge their existence and then ignore them is playing into the culture war.
>>94812479If only there was some option you had to complain to the mods with.
>>94812436>all guard armies are the same You know that ain’t true. Some people paint their models differently or 3d print or use recasts or third party.
>>94812493>squatting brand new killteams based on your imaginary metrics of them selling badsquatting the rules, not necessarily the kit to be used in 40kand it's not an imaginary metric, it's a hypothetical scenario, did you have breakfast today?
>>94812475>>94812476It's not like BL isn't slop to begin with, an AI can't possibly be any worse.
>>94812499>What faction do you play?Clearly he's a taufag.
>>94812479Avoiding the throoder troll’s thread.
>>94812500Taking the quality of writing seriously in a literature competition isn’t something to mock—it’s a baseline expectation. Competitions exist to celebrate creativity and reward excellence, not to trivialize the craft. If striving for high standards bothers you, perhaps you’re in the wrong conversation.
>>94812512>trying to breakfastpostyou're really desperate for a win lmao
>>94812493>it's bait>No it's not! Anyway more baitBruh
>>94812501Counting the amount of long dashes? ChatGPT is very fond of them. People usually use the normal dash character "-" if they even use it. Being trained with lots of formal and academic texts, it also got the tendency to use the long dash character "—" (I had to search and copy paste this character)
>>94812529so, no models?

>>94812509>everything is political>but there's different degrees of politicalthat's an awful lot like a pointless semantics invention that can be conveniently twisted whenever it suits youit's like saying that a block of ice is hot because you changed the definition of what is hot from the normally accepted and used one to a seemingly academic one where everything is technically hot because it has an atomic temperature above the absolute zerogo touch grass

In cars there are engine temperature gauges, it is perfectly between H (hot) and C (cold) at 190F-220F in most cars... so then am I twisting the word Hot when I refer to boiling water at 212F (100C) hot, or am I twisting the definition of the word hot, when I don't call an engine at 212F (100C) hot?

The Duel of ShadowsAmidst the labyrinthine spires of Commorragh, the Dark City of the Drukhari, two figures stood in a chamber of shifting shadows. The architecture was an ever-changing mosaic of obsidian, screaming souls, and shimmering ether. Here, in the heart of treachery and despair, an unlikely confrontation unfolded.Archon Asdrubael Vect, the supreme overlord of the Kabal of the Black Heart, reclined in a throne hewn from screaming wraithbone. His every movement exuded calculated dominance, his dark eyes watching like a predator testing its prey. Opposite him, lit by the dim glow of writhing soul energy, stood none other than Cypher, the enigmatic fallen angel of the Dark Angels. The shadowy gunslinger’s presence was an affront to Commorragh’s twisted splendor.
>>94812900Do DEldar wear Custodes heads on their armor?
>>94812892I'd buy that starter box. Covens are awesome.That combat patrol is only three units though and all of them have been at least four. The Beastmaster and his beasts are a single unit.It would be a shame to see the court go but I could see them trying to replace them with the Hand.
>>94812926"You have quite the audacity to come here, Cypher," Vect purred, his voice a silken blade. "Most who enter my domain leave... diminished. Or in pieces."Cypher gave a casual shrug, his hands resting on his belt near his ancient bolt pistol and plasma pistol. The dark green of his hooded cloak made his face almost impossible to discern, but the glint of a knowing smile danced in his unseen expression. "I've always been fond of testing boundaries," he replied, his voice low and edged with an air of mystery. "And you, Archon, have a reputation worth... exploring."Vect leaned forward, his fingers steepled. "Flattery will earn you nothing, human. You must know I allow no one to bargain from a position of weakness. You, here, alone, are weak."Cypher gestured lazily, his otherworldly calm unsettling even the insidious Drukhari guards who lingered in the chamber's shadows. "Weakness is relative, isn't it? After all, a master of manipulation like you would know that appearances often deceive."Vect’s eyes narrowed. "Speak plainly before I tire of this game.""Oh, but games are what you live for, aren’t they, Archon?" Cypher said smoothly. "You thrive on schemes, turning allies into rivals, feeding on their despair. I wonder how many in this city plot to unseat you even now."Vect’s lips curled into a thin smile. "And yet here I remain. What is it you want, Fallen? To barter? To beg?""Neither," Cypher replied, his tone sharpening. "I came here to deliver a message."Vect raised an eyebrow. "A message?"
>>94812915>>94812921Okay sure.Ye aulde Boxnaught, redemptor or leviathan?
>>94812926>>94812937Cypher drew a data crystal from his belt and set it on the edge of the wraithbone table. "This contains intelligence you’ll find... useful. The Imperium plans to strike at Commorragh. I could leave and let you find out the hard way, but I’d rather see what your vaunted intellect can make of this."For a moment, the chamber was silent, a tension thick as blood between them. Then Vect laughed, a cold, mirthless sound."Very well, Cypher. You’ve piqued my interest. But if this is a ploy, you will regret it beyond imagining."Cypher smiled faintly as he turned to leave. "And if it’s not, Archon... perhaps you'll owe me one."
>>94812941boxnaught, now get painting and post your progress
>>94812931We know that they have canonically killed or captured a few Custodes in the past, though none of them come with any Custodes trophies by default. You could take the Custodes helmet from the new grizzly trophies set they just started selling and add it to the trophy racks on the back of your Archon or a Succubus though.
>>94812937>The dark green of his hooded cloak made his face almost impossible to discernAh yes, a human wrote this, most certainly.

>>94813088>plagiarismI mean, it's AI generated, so... yeeees?
>>94813070Where did they confirm that?
>>94811449Instead of a unique squad like everyone else, they should do a Predator-style dream team with multiple leaders in a single unit. Rerelease all the older characters with updated models, and then have them function as normal leaders in 40k, I think there are four or so, and then they can add in one or two new guys (which could function as generic leaders or additional equipment like the Tempestus turret) to round it out. Regular Militarum dudes are too squishy to compare to Marines, but I feel an exception could be made for particularly storied jungle fighters.
>>94813127that's pretty much it, thanks
>>94813076Craftworlds themselves are ships that range in size from small continents to small moons, with the internal structure of each being fully customizable due to the psychic nature of wraithbone this allows for effective climate control across the entire ship, giving the opportunity for localized ecosystems to be formed while also having the underlying wraithbone superstructure to monitor changes to each area. These allow Eldar to essentially terraform swathes of land to suit their needs, which is enhanced by the fact they have no real material requirements aside from food due to Wraithbone and other psychically-created materials constituting 95% of their construction and manufacturing ends.It can't be understated that Craftworlds are essentially colossal paradise ships.
>>94811617Dope model, but the feet make it look like he's about to piss himself.
>>94812041These are the same people that insist Gazghul Thrakka is secretly named after Margaret Thatcher, despite that being publicly denied by the guy who named him. They're far beyond the light of redemption.

>>94813229YAMETE KUDASAI
>>94813194I mean, believe what you want, but "Mag Urruk" just means "Great Ork" in orkish. It's a coincidence that they look similar, but that's it, it's already been clarified by Andy Chambers years ago. If that wasn't the case, there would be no reason to clarify it, because it's not like she's going to go after GW for parody from beyond the grave.
>>94813224Thankfully extremely few "people" do.

>>94813229>Not a Lunar-classShit ship.>>94813231Did you varnish him with gloss? He's looking pretty shiny.
>>94813255First I've seen it. I think you're just terminally online.
Time for 500 words of Lelith giving Jaghatai CBT in Commoragh
>>94813145so they can just create whatever they want with wraith bone and can see the future and they STILL job? Like I get against the Necrons since these are powerful fucks who nullify warp shit and used to be their equal rivals in the WiH, I understand the Nids since they are ever evolving and they too can harm or alter the warp and I understand the Orks because Orks and Chaos because it's the warp itself as a faction but how in living hell do they job to anyone else? Especially humans
>>94813270Wouldn't it be funny if GW just received some thousand entries of Lelith domming various characters throughout the setting?
>>94813236I can't it's grown on me
>>94813269Well this "is/isn't 40k satire" shit clogs up any given site's warhammer discussions nigh endlessly and it gets nowhere and only serves to have people circlejerk over their own political positions
>>94813145>It can't be understated that Craftworlds are essentially colossal paradise ships.wasted on the most autistic fuckers on the galaxy
>>94813279The entire point of the Eldar is that despite having everything handed to them on a silver platter, they're a bunch of arrogant losers who never learn from their mistakes and will always be outplayed by the 'inferior' races.Going aling with what >>94813291 said, a major theme of the Eldar is that all of their gifts are wasted on them, but ironically nobody else can use them.
>>94813268Nah, just didn't wash the shit out of the metal to keep it bright.
>>948132791. Eldar job as much as the plot demands, writer fiat trumps all.2. Their insight into the future is not particularly reliable. 3. They know they're not big players in the galaxy anymore and don't have the numbers to swing their dicks around like the Imperium does.
>>94813209carnac, you're the only one who buys one here.
>>94813304I was actually looking at his belt. I guess that shininess could be from a wash.
>>94813313meds
>>94812041it's satire through exaggeration and hyperbole. it doesn't have to be strictly parodical to be a satire. unless you mean the imperium is in some way not exaggerated in which case i can't help you
>>94813209anyone buys a chinkmoot pass deserves to get gouged anyways. fuckin morons
>>94813255The satire shit, sure, but that's as ingrained as Obiwan Sherlock Clouseau, whether you want it to be or not. Even if it gets mentioned, it's rarely discussed in any depth past people complaining about reddit or Twitter (both of which can fuck off and don't belong here anyways).

you talk like a fag
>>94813203No, Ahriman isn't really worth it. Giving a unit of Rubrics +1 to wound isn't as worthwhile as giving them a 4++ and reviving them every turn.
>>94813279They job because eldars is good guys but only space marines/imperium can be good guys in 40k. So GW doesn't know what to do with them, eldars don't have their own niche where they can stand up against good heroes. If necrons are undead ancient enemy with good novels, eldar have only Gav, who wrote them terribly and that mohawk nigger right now

I am conflicted, I like powerful factions and the Eldar have a lot going on for them in terms of abilities or equipment despite losing a lot, yet I really don't like the magical side of them and again the fact that they are jobbers
>>94813310>2. Their insight into the future is not particularly reliableonly because every writer taking a shot at writing eldar thinks to themselves that they are doing something amazingly, mind-blowingly revolutionary and fresh in the field of Black Library literary by going for this "their insight into the future is not particularly reliable" trick

>>94813616Eldar aren't a powerful faction, they're a shitty Gotcha faction that can surprise people for one game due to their speed. Their only 'powerful' units are the ones that GW wants to sell at the given time which are then given broken rules to market them.Fluff wise Eldar are the weakest faction in the setting and would get stomped by literally anyone else in an open war.

Guard playersDo you prefer your officers in fancy dress uniforms and peaked caps.Or do you prefer them kitted out like the kine troops with combat uniforms and helmets
>>94814056Don't play orks but I'd imagine you would want a bunch of melee guys if you're using the roller since you're already trying to crash the rig into combat. If you're allowed to shoot out of it it might be better to run some guys with big guns instead tho. I'm sure one of the blueorkanons will have some better feedback for you
>tfw have both blue orks and salliesI swear to god it's purely coincidental.

I don't want to do blue and silver for my Dark Eldar but at this point I think I may have to. I've just had two failed schemes with them. Maaaaaybe I could do Orange body-gloves with silver armor but fuck me I just can't get them right and don't want to do a scheme I've already done.
what are the chances of gretchin getting updated anytime soon?
>>94814520You seem upset
>>94814117For my guys its the latter but thats due to them being a Radiological regiment with lots of chem weapons and the like.
>>94814542I dunno hoe soon, but gw has cad files for decent looking grots that they've been using in aos for a while now so I'm sure they'll do them eventually
Is it a pain to send a true horde army footslogging across the board? And any faster units are at the front alone?Why wouldn't there be horde transports that can carry 20 cultists?

Couldnt paint again today so Im daydreaming about bases instead. I feel like bloodstained white marble bases are cool in theory, but not sure how much it "fits" an entire NL csm army. If they were emp children yeah that'd make sense but I feel like night lords are more suited for a sort of brooding perched cathedral gargoyle type atmosphere. Or I was thinking about something like pic related.

Haven't gone back after the 5th time in a single year that I tried to stop by and found the store closed for no reason
>>94814531Got pics? What were the two "failed schemes"?
>>94814719I've already stripped the for the first one and the second is not even washed. First scheme was going to be Bronze Armor with a black bodyglove but I didn't like how the bronze turned out. Second scheme was bone on black bodyglove but I came to find that this then forced me into using either a black or bone gun casing that just melded everything too much.I'm going to build some rough riders next for my guard and a potential rework of their looks next/to get some confidence back. I'm potentially thinking silver armor with a forest green body glove next for the Dark Eldar on their go around. Luckily its just a small squad I'm playing with and not a whole army I have to repaint for the DE
>>94814743>this then forced me into using either a black or bone gun casing that just melded everything too much.Could always use an alternative colour for the guns like a red or even a grey.
>>94813701I think if you drybrushed a bright silver over the blue swords it'd make them look a little shinier/glowy
>>94814743Sounds like you need to consider a three-color scheme rather than just two of you feel it's not differentiating the model parts enough.Also metallic Dark Eldar are cursed. Personally I think they look better in solid dark colors with lots of highlights
>>94814754I considered Gray but at this point the scheme just wasn't gelling with me. I'm going to let the DE sit for a bit, work on a few other minis, then circle back to them. Also probably going to do transfers tomorrow during some WFH on my Marines so I can get that overwith.Its not an exciting part of the hobby but it needs to be done.
>>94813616I would suggest you buy the stuff you think looks cool and ignore everything else. Lore is able to be warped and twisted to fit /yourdudes/ and rules change all the time, you're better off having models you love so that when the rules pr lore changes you still have reasons to be attached to them
>>94814770I mean, I probably could have done red for the guns and that may have made them pop.I haven't stripped the Minis yet so I can always give it a go. Worse comes worse I just have to strip which I was going to do anyways, I'll just need to make the 'glow' for the eyes/Power weapon green instead of red.
>no bits sellers or ebay listings for chaplain helmetswhere the fuck am I supposed to find one for this kitbash now
>>94813472What a horrendous take, assembling is literally the worst part. It's 90% monotonous, and the only fun part comes from posing your guys which is maybe 10% of the process and done in less then 5 mins. The rest is removing mouldlines/nubmarks, gap filling, sanding, clipping off the sprue, holding parts while glue sets, drilling barrels, and other boring shit
>>94814772Yellow could look sick for the weapons too
>>94814797Could modify a reiver helmet
NEW THREAD>>94814813>>94814813>>94814813
>>94814817Little early chief
>>94814811I dunno, the problem with Yellow on this set would be it makes the model almost too bright. I've run into that issue before where a mini just has too many brighter colors and, while not 'day glow' just doesn't feel 'dark' enough.
>>94814823Use a desaturated colour if you're worried about it being too bright
>>94814833Maybe.At the very least I've been given enough of a go ahead to maybe try and salvage the scheme. Not to mention that I always tend to feel about my minis like this during the base coating phase. Its generally after the wash that I start to tolerate/like them a bit more.
>>94814840>Its generally after the wash that I start to tolerate/like them a bit moreThere's a reason basecoating is occasionally called the ugly phase. There not much to get excited about when you're just coloring in panels
>>94814856Lord if that isn't the truth.It really just feels like I'm doing thinner and thinner base coats as the layers do the heavy lifting.
>>94814815Eh, I really don't like how they look
>>94814868Modify in a way that makes you like it then?
are chaos marines all, without exception, insane? or do any of them ever look down at the random tentacles and spider legs growing out of their ribs and think "oops, maybe this wasnt such a good idea" ?
>>94814941Their mutations are a gift from their God, if anything I'd imagine it'd be vindicating having confirmation that your efforts are recognized by the guy you've been trying to impress
>>94814329Whats your experience like with 'ard case? How does it fair against other factions?
>>94811434Excuse me, valued Hobbyist. Within the Astra Militarum™ you may only choose between the Cadian™ Shock Troops, Catachan™ Jungle Fighters, and Death Korps™ of Krieg™. I'm sure you're unaware of this so I would suggest pre-ordering the Best Astra Militarum™ Codex yet at your nearest Games Workshop™/Warhammer™ store. While you're there, you can pick up some amazing Citadel™ Miniatures featuring your favorite Special Characters™ from the Astra Militarum™ Citadel™ Miniatures line! Remember, there are only three Astra Militarum™ Regiments1!1Sure, Hobbyist, you can say your kitbashed (using Citadel™ Miniatures, of course) Astra Militarum™ infantry are another Regiment, but they must be one of the three. You may also purchase (from your nearest Games Workshop™/Warhammer™ store) a set of Cadian™ Shock Troops or Death Korps™ of Krieg™ infantry and, using our Citadel™ Painting Method®, create your own, unique Regiment of Cadian™ Shock Troops or Death Korps™ of Krieg™!
>>94812206>...the most nightmarish regime imaginable...No, definitely didn't have any opinions on the Imperium and certainly didn't put them into writing at any time in any material. Definitely did not.While I understand that most don't want political discussion in their hobbies (mostly with good reason if those hobbies do not involve a simulated universe or such things) you do have to understand that everything is inherently political, and I don't just mean the standard American "right/left" dichotomy. Musing on the "evils" of the Imperium seems fine, and we can recognize that it is both absolute shit to exist within the Imperium (mostly) and (mostly) within 40k in general and understand (through pseudo in-universe eyes) the alleged necessity of such a regime. It's like understanding history, you know? Sure, you can say, "oh wow this was so evil how did [people] do [thing]?" and leave it that. Or, you could (attempt to) better understand the society, material conditions, etc of the time and place and recognize that yes, you can have modern ideas for what is good or bad or anything in-between but also realize that these people did not have the modern understanding of such things and draw conclusions from that.
>>94813110I would think that the Hive Mind really is just many and one consciences kind of like the "Trinity" in Christianity but more animalistic and "simple," as I remember what I read of the Tyranids from earlier editions. Tyranids were a force of nature back then that couldn't really be explained how they do what they do beyond the material world or the synapse control, which was just psychic power instead of something like pheromones. The Hive Mind just was, and it continued to be. It could adapt, and it could react. It couldn't "plot" or anything like that because the Tyranids were a gestalt entity made up of multiple organic creatures doing their "job," like a creature fused to the arm of a Warrior that literally spits [expels] acid from a creature that exists to hold that acid attached to organic tubes that, hell, may be another creature created to pass that acid through to the spitter. Apparently this was changed because everything must have a POV and in Devastation of [my] Baal[s] the Hive Mind can hate and specifically target things that it hates instead of just being a force of nature that can't be understood, comprehended, or remain mysterious. Oh well.
>>94813774got that blue eyed stare
>>94813110>>94815606I like to think there's just multiple different hiveminds now.Like the hivemind that controls leviathan is not the same as the hivemind that controls tiamet.But they share the over all same "overmind", which then gives them access to shit like swarmlords, OOEs, etc.Also it explains why some hivefleets are aggressive towards other tyranids seemingly for no reason, like Hydra and Typhon, both of which specialize in attacking fighting other hivefleets.Also there has been some hints in the lore itself that Tyranid organisms might now be developing more "personalities" and are becoming more individualistic. Someone here has that image which says it, iirc it was a white background with black text and there was maybe like 1 tyranid creature on the image too.
