I'm trying to come up with a 1k mech guard list.So far I've got:1. 2xChimera2. 2xKasrkin3. Dorn commander for some big anti-tankWhat else to put in the list? Another chimera+kasrkin? A Hellhound for cover removal?

>>94815337One with a fat ass and big bazoobers
>>94815318Commanders for kasrkin. Castellans are pretty good and won't go over the chimera limit
>>94815337Actual hospitaliars in the same vein as Apothecaries if you want characters. For normal troops? Maybe a Precision unit to character hunt.Doesn't necessarily need to be a character, could be a squad of five with Stalker Boltguns.
Are the catachan command squad plastic or shitresin?
>>94815372They'd lose the scout move though.Maybe put Ursula into one, and have two scout while Ursula gives out orders from a bit further back? She has 3 orders now.
>>94815382Should still be plastic from what I remember
>Vect talking to a BeastmaterWanted to have Vect talking about the dream quests Beastmasters get their Khymera from. But GW wanted 2 characters>Vect and LuciusLucius would be swearing and calling Slaaneshs name the whole time so hes have to have his vocal cords cut while Vect monolouges at him. Could be interesting if Vect can essentaily read Lucius mind, could gloat he'll die to Lelith >Lelith and Lucius Skip a conversation scene and have it be a duel between the two of them, feels kind of fanfictiony if one actually wins over the other>Vect and Fabius BileVect could be gloating about she who thrists about to lose a great champion while Fabius could be dismissive of serving any of the godlike Warp powers. Fabius is essentialy a space marine turned haemonculus so their discussion could related to that>Urien Rakarth and Fabius BileThese two would almost get along I feel, both have the same interests and similar motivations, could be boring since Rakarth is a madman and wouldn't waste his time talking to a servent of chaos about things he's known for thousands of yearsWhat are other anons thoughts about the BL submission? I also realised you could easily cheat and submit yourself more than once with some fake/real nicknames and different emails
>>94815395Vect talking to his sofa (Jaghatai)
>>94815382It will tell you on the store page for every kit
>>94815284So thanks to an anon who linked me I’ve been able to parse it better, I think. The red, green, and blue form a complimentary colour triad. So far as I can tell the saturation is right for it, especially with the highlights I’ve finally started using at least a little bit. The gold(which is yellow in colour theory terms) adds a nice warmth and gives the ensemble a sense of energy. The silver (which is grey in CT) is a neutral colour that breaks things up without drawing too much attention away from the red and green main colours. The main issue and probably why it doesn’t hit your eye right is that my lighting sucks so it looks darker than it really is, and I haven’t followed the 70/30 rule that I only recently discovered is a thing.
>>94815382resin kits are all marked 15+ and "expert" on the main GW shop
>>94815407Damn that sounds pretentious as fuck.
>>94815407people here complain about not enough contrast then freak out when people pick complimentary colors
>>94815402kek I did think of that but Jaghatai only got a model in 30k I'd hate for my submission to be excluded over a technicality like that.
Everyone, please write to the GW FAQ team to have them give the scion command squad voice of command.
BL short story about guardsmen waiting for a month to charge into an enemy fortification as arty and tanks try to whittle their defenses. They've found a good way to spend time is to come up with outlandish tales of how they'd take the citadel and who they're even sieging in the first place.The next day, they are informed the siege is over. They never even find out who the enemy was, or if there even was one in the first place
>>94815414Just because you can't understand what he's saying doesn't make it pretentious. Maybe you'll get it when you eventually paint your first model
No, I don't think I will have them buff Guardfags even further. You're already unbearable.
>>94815370Sororitas? More like: Sorry, tits and ass
>>94815432This isn't asking for a buff, it's asking to write the correct fucking rules on the sheet of the model.
Don't respond to me, Guardfag. I don't want to get your fag on me.
>>94815432Who are you even talking to rn, there's a reply function built into the site in case you're new and not just retarded
>>94815432>>94815443>1 minute apartObvious samefag
When's the next event?Next week?
>>94815448Edgecoc you need to stop crashing out so hard
>>94815430That's a fun short story concept. Guardsmen not even knowing who (or what) they're fighting is an underappreciated aspect of 40k. I think only one story from Warhammer Horror does that, when its revealed its two loyal IG regiments fighting each other for decades because the leaders had to much pride to admit they fucked up years ago. And the imperial burecracy is so massive, overloaded and corrupt it doesn't realise they're supplying both sides of the war
>>94815284Red/green/blue looks great you just have bad taste
>>94814971I don't care for eldar as a faction, but if I ever break my no cooming to 40k rule, it will be the space elves
>>94815469For me, it would be the Sororitas. I love white-haired bitches
>>94815395I was thinking about doing something with one of the newer dudes that only exist as special characters on a whim of the modellers deciding to be a bit extra with an HQ. Literally who tier characters like Lord Invocatus, Mozrog Skragbad or the krieg horse guy they just released.Since they're all such blank slates at present, it would be pretty funny to take a swing at hijacking one with my own headcanon characterisation.
>>94815450Thursday night/Friday morning.
If anyone doesn’t mind, could you post a comparison of the HH plastic Marines versus the Primaris Intercessors/any Primaris Marines? Want to eventually buy more Intercessors, but it seems like HH is the only place to get different helmets. I’m partial to the beaky helmets not gonna lie.
>>94815485oh sickCan't wait to get disappointed when the Noise Marine sculpt is revealed and it's trash
>>94814999

>>94815494Get some better lights and also a camera from this decade
>>94815494These fucking suck
>>94815494These are awful ngl
>>94815329Yeah, it needs a wash. I'd do red or maybe even a blue.
>>94815493>inb4 only Lucius is revealed and we have to wait another month to see the rest of the release
>>94815522you really think EC are releasing before september?
>>94815494You need better lights but more importantly you need to never again claim you're a better painter than anyone else here lmfao
>>94815477That's a fun idea! Maybe if the EC get a new named character revealed on stream I'll use him as the captive to Vect. I just want an non dark eldar looking out and descrbing Commorragh and how alien and insane it is, since it would be normal for Vect seeing it everyday for thousands of years. I wanted to end the story with the captive getting skinned alive while standing in the blink of an eye by a pair of Klaivexes competing for Vects favour as the being the very best Klaivexes (other than Drazhar) but thats breaks the 'only 2 characters rule'
>>94815462Hey dipshit. It isn't red and green that's the problem. It's that specific red and green.
>>94815494Why are some of your bases blue and others are grey
>>94815524I expect all 4 of the cult legions to be released in succession so as to keep the daemon carve up clean, and they've already blown their load on revealing the big centre piece model for the army, so I'd be surprised if it's not sooner than later.
Have you ever converted your models to reference popular memes? It seems like a fun way to inject some humor into the game.
>>94815524How long was the window between Angron being shown off and the World Eater's release?

>>94815586Yes
>>94815590Oh yeah that too. Though the sorc basically crushed their souls and only Titus resisted because lol video game MC.
>>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.Goddamn it. Every single fucking time I post shit there is another thread. Every single fucking time.
>>94815636because living saint*
>>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.And this. Fucking threads. Again, every single fucking time. The death throes of fora are a mistake.
>>94815636>>94815590That was a lesser/middling daemon. Not a sorcerer.
>>94815616But it’s so… plain. You aren’t gonna add any freehand or highlights?
>>94815658>Me when I'm blind
>>94815677Dude I had to zoom all the way in, look at the pic you posted. There’s barely a difference between the shades of green.
Just bring back Wargear and a simple "[Sergeant] may exchange laspistol for: Bolt Pistol...+5 pts. Plasma Pistol...+10 pts and may exchange Close Combat Weapon for: Chainsword...+2 pts. Power Weapon...+10 pts. [Sergeant] may also select from Wargear on the Astra Militarum™ Equipment page, but may not exceed a total value of 15 pts of equipment." Or something. Fuck.

>>94814999Second batch of tank crew/subassembly bits, working on the blue still.
>>94815688I actually like the free wargear, for most units. For infantry it's mostly fine but maybe they should put it back in for heavy weapons on vehicles and such.It might be coming sooner or later since GW made it so easy for them to reintroduce wargear cost, they just need to update the munitorum field manual really.
>>94815728Sororitas tanks are already god tier, don't give them a piece of garbage
>>94814999Tonight progress. Got the models done enough to fully assemble, now I've just got to do the bases. Once glued I'll be able to paint that tiny bit on the gun tips that I originally used to hold the guns for painting.Super happy with how the paint scheme is looking. The picture can't do justice how well the metallics look with their reflections.
>>94815658Not for now, I hate adding that just for the sake of adding it. I want to base everything I have painted in a batch soon, and custom transfers might be in the future.I dabbled with freehand on a tilt shield but the white I was using was too chunky so I abandoned the idea for the present.>>94815686It's better in person, my lamp is nuking any the shadows.

>>94815775Are you honestly so delusional that you think the barebones army that's gotten a single model shown off and a few pieces of concept renders with a teaser for their character is going to release before the krieg and eldar that have both had everything shown off already?

>>94815494>Oops! All sergeants!This fucking sucks. Unironically.
>>94815652Describing a fictional place as "nightmarish" is not a political opinion, anon. Why? Because it is fictional. It is not real.Do you seriously think "eternal galactic war against dark gods and alien races" is a political issue? Something to think about next time there's an election?If you are one of the pseudointellectuals who claim that 40k is "problematic" then I humbly ask you to explain who is being threatened by this setting existing?
>>94815773No dark we talking? Also I strongly reccomend practicing freehand on a spoon or something for a little while to get used to it.

>>94815778MOLOCMOLOCMOLOC
>>94815843Don’t you think that art, whatever form it takes, is a reflection of reality? 40K at least represents the anxiety we feel about xenophobia and authoritarianism.

>necessaryThe only reason chaos cults and genestealers are so effective on the Imperium is because it's so damn oppressive that telling your soul to Satan is a preferable option.
>>94815904>elling your soul to SatanBut those Chaos Cultists/Genestealers aren't selling their souls to the Emperor?
>>94815904Those are the puling cries of the weak of faith and inherently sinful. The Emperor offers strength to those courageous enough to seek it. Those who seek the easy and comfortable path are heretics, and their loss is a necessary and good thing for our shining Imperium.
>>94815864You are not meant to "hate" or "fear" anything in 40k. All miniatures are supposed to be cool and interesting. You are meant to play your army against the armies of other people and have a fun and relaxed time.I understand there are some "progressives" who are uncomfortable with "authoritarian regimes" being portrayed as "cool" in fiction. But the problem these people have is the darkness in their own souls and their own limited intellectual abilities.

>>94815845I started with vallejo dark green from the paint kit I have, and highlighting with warpstone.I plan to stick with that for infantry. I started working on a ballistus but I put the paint on too thick and got sidetracked with new projects to fill out my list. Current vehicle plan is priming black, then spraying AP angel green over that, with heavy drybrush of warpstone.AP angel is identical to citadel caliban, and vallejo is a tad darker
>>94815960I’ve never used ap, good luck with it anon. Always nice to see another son of Vulkan. I’ll be watching with interest in the future. For real though goodnight.
There should be a train unit for Dorfs and GSC and it should work like this:In the deployment step, after both players have placed all their non-train models, place 5 traintrack markers on the map, the first marker must be in your deployment zone, and each subsequent marker must be 9 inches from the previous marker, and more than 16 inches away from the marker two steps back.Each movement phase after the first, rather than moving this model, remove it from the battlefield and set it up exactly on top of the next marker, with the back facing towards the previous marker, any models in the way are displaced anywhere in engagement range of the train by their respective owners. Any models displaced by the train with 9 or fewer wounds are destroyed, if the displaced model has 9 to 11 wounds, the train and the model roll a die, and each is destroyed on a +4(the train must roll once per displaced model, in ascending order of wounds), if the model has 12 or more wounds, the train is destroyed and the displaced model suffers 3d6 mortal wounds. Trains count as titanic units.
>>94815778Eh, fuck it. Here's the Xenos. There's only 60 of them across all factions and some are debatably acceptable.
Does anyone know of any color other than yellow and gold that make purple pop out?I'm thinking of making purple black templars and so far only silver, yellow and gold seem to make purple pop out, any ideas?

>>94816025no anon you don't get it, Krieg can only take two special weapons, but if one of them is a melta, you can't take a voxcaster unless you also take a sniper rifle, except when you take them in units of 20, in which case you can take a melta and two voxcasters, but no sniper or medikit.
>>94816012You can't get too down on how they look in photo-scale, though. I bet they look fucking sick on the table. No one holds a Necron a millimeter away from their face with a jeweler's lens.
>>94815991I forgot to add that looks nice, maybe green with gold would do the trick but I feel that I would piss off our local dark angel player if I do that>>94816023Sounds good too, my Tyranids are based blue so I already got the materials to spare, may work on the first one tonight to see how it turns out>>94815995Cool
>>94815888I don't think you're in any place to be making jabs at people's painting lmao
>>94816035What a mess of a datasheet. A voxcaster shouldn't be exclusive with a special weapon, and especially not a *particular* weapon.
>>94815978Pink, blue, other pastels
>>94815976Szeras chatting it up with some haemonculii could be fun
>>94816009Hard to tell whats "ahead". I suppose its more about the cross section between what you want to paint and what you can paint. Test, practice and get good but don't commit to covering all ur dolls in slop just to fill space
>>94816059>Test, practice and get goodPic unrelated then?
>>94816066post your own models if you're gonna criticize someone posting theirs
>>94816035I though 10th was supposed to get rid of this shit?
>Guard gets to spam even more indirect fireWhy does GW always make this army an absolute boring cancerous slog to have to fight? They're like Tau except more OP and slightly less boring to fight.
>>94816059You use gundam micron pens for that?
>>94816080GW is full of Guardwankers who also hate Sisters and Tyranids, apparently.
>>94816072Sallyfag’s dickriders never post their own. If only he did the same.
>>94816090Can't help but notice you're too bitchmade to attach your models to your low effort shitstirring
>>94816089Considering guard was top tier in 5th, 8th and when they got their codex in 9th absolutely busted and they're topping tournaments right now with guard tank lists being auto wins vs some armies.I'll believe it.
>>94816080Why indeed!
>>94815978depending on the shade of purple, black might work
>>94815976An Ork Boss negotiating with an Ethereal over terms of battle and the ethereal thinking they're trying to establish terms of engagement while the Ork is there to tell him to send more of those big beaky things that fight more good in a proppa scrap.
>>94816080>>94816093This shit is why I hate Guardfags. It's one thing to have an OP army. It's entirely another to have an OP army and then bitch any time even the slightest nerf is implied in your direction.
>>94816089>>94816096Is this the legendary Robbin Cruddace of balance infamy?
>>94815995>>94816072>>94816090Cry about it
>>94816072If I do that will that somehow make you understand basic layering
>>94816092I wouldn’t call it low effort.
Does anyone had the 8th edition Deathwatch codex? wanna do research fo my Bl submission
>>94816112Ew
>>94816074No, 10th made sure you always built all the special weapons that are on the sprue.And nothing else.Meaning that, if the extremely limited monopose models were designed so that the melta and voxcaster arms both fit in the same torso and fitting them on other torsos would require deviating from the instructions even a little bit, then it is forbidden, only take a melta or a voxcaster, never both.If neophyte hybrids include one of each weapon in the sprue, the unit can only take one of each weapon, even if it takes 20 years to roll, even if you could easily swap weapons between squads.
>>94816105There was a time like eight months ago that all the guard communities were railing about how bad their army was and some guy on the competitive community said the army was actually super strong and most guard players are actually really bad at the game. The community ate him alive for it, and then he took the army to a super major and won 1st place with it just to shut them up.
>>94816105People say eldarfags are unbearable but I've seen Guard players chimp out more than any other army. Some dude I knew legit threw a gigantic hissy fit because GW removed conscripts and guard could no longer pull that conscript bullshit in 9th like they could in 8th even though by every objective measure conscripts are either bad game design or extremely OP also kinda fucking gay that guard can outnumber tyranids on the field.>>94816111Yes, Never forget 5th edition guard vs tyranid codex
>>94816112>slops on two colors, calls it a day>no care given to joints or exposed muscles>not even a wash on the green>carapace "highlights" follow senseless lines rather than actually highlighting>this is meant to be "good"
>>94816112based nidchad mogging the pewterfag
>>94816122Post your models
>>94816112>blatant downloaded imageutter xitter tranny.
>>94816105I'm not even sure if Eldar players are as bitchy as guardfags.Guardfags just whine if anything happens to weaken their army. The irony is that Guard is usually a very strong codex.
>>94816127I knew from the fucking second I saw that they got lethal hits on their entire army they were gonna be OP as fuck.
>>94816133adorable cope
>>94816130Blind fag
>>94816130I thought Anon said he bought these on Ebay?Regardless, if I played 'nids I wouldn't want to spend too much time on my gaunts either. You have dozens of them that all need paint.
>>94816130At least he understands basic layering and basecoating lmao
Why can’t we get along without someone getting offended on someone else’s behalf?
>>94816130Dude stop coping anons clearly mogging you in whatever ur bitching about>>94816140Eldar players are just insufferable waacfags or guys who hate that eldar is the settings punching bags despite them supposedly being near extinctionGuardfags are all autist rejects who could never make it in the IRL army and larp out their retarded fantasy on the tabletop
>>94816150I would never pay somebody to paint for me, that's the only part of the hobby I enjoy anymore
>>94816140People bitch way more about Eldar players than they actually deserve and way less about Guard players than they actually deserve. Eldar "fans" whining endlessly about their shit lore and old models is a seperate issue entirely, and the latter is basically solved now.
>>94816084just a paint pen nothing to serious
>>94816158And honestly, the shit lore thing is a reasonable bitch, unlike Guardfag seethe.
Assembly is the most fun part of the hobby.Painting is the second worstPlaying is the worst
>>94816167(you)
>>94816163Cool.
>>94816156Was this that Tyranid v Titus boxed set game? Did that really come with that many gants?
>>94816128>Yes, Never forget 5th edition guard vs tyranid codexI didnt play in 5th ed, tell me a story
>>94816172partly that, partly separate secondhand gants
>>94816167this is accurate for methough painting is fun when its something cool like a neat vehicle or characterless so when you look at the mass of infantry still on the to do list
>>94816153extremely crisp paintjob
>>94816180That’s not an answer. Also the pic is stolen from Facebook.
>>948161735th edition guard was hilariously OP giving rise to the term leafblower guard while the 5th tyranid codex nerfed basically everything and introduced extremely shit units like the pyrovore I think?Oh and on average the guards Hydra AA tank could kill a Tyranid flyer in 1 round of shooting when it couldn't before. The guy who made both codexes plays guard and space marines. He became lead rule designer in 8th I think? And guard was really good there because basically their entire army was undercosted and there was extremely cheesy bullshit you could pull with them and space marines were stupidly strong in 8th aswell.
>>94816167It seems you prefer LEGO
>>94816186lego is too simple
>>94816167Dude unironically get into scale models. GW models are fucking baby tier, you are literally wasting your time if you find assembly fun but build this slop, especially if you're never going to paint them. There are boomers who work on one scale model for years.
>>94816156stolen from reddirt lmao
>>94816205MY reddit, braindead retard
This is just my conspiracy theory but I find it extremely suspicious that the Black Library contest is restricted specifically to Vigilus, Commorragh, or Armageddon.Vigilus is a no brainer since it's basically nu-cadia in terms of GW narrative events and lore. But I find it extremely suspicious that they specified Commorragh because since when does GW give a fuck about Dark Eldar? And Armageddon is suspicious too since GW is very obviously planning to bring back Yarrick in some sort of event.The Commorragh one worries me the most, I really REALLY hope GW isn't going to pull some stupid Ynnari tier shit with Dark Eldar. On the other hand though this might mean there will be some sort of big Dark Eldar refresh coming tied to some event similar to Eldrich Omens.
>>94816163Lmfao
>>94816153Because there are too many shitstirrers who are pointlessly negative when talking about others models and needlessly defensive when anything is brought up about their own.
>>94816232shitstirrers own no models, schizoid subhuman
>>94816167Kinda weird to self report that you're braindead and creatively inept, but you do you anon
>>94816121spoilering because links are uglylimewire<DOT>com/d/2a42fe13-bd44-43ec-9aec-a505c4808a6c#EqNW2PQUuDUcaBnuaF2AhajgWfxGAsr_RtHJkWlw3_g
>>94816236So kinda similar to yourself then? Also this is completely untrue, we have multiple people in these threads who intentionally fuck with people who own models
>>94816249>reading comprehension
>>94816220desu it may just be that commoragh lends itself to very different writing scenarios than the other two
>>94816248thank you anon.>>94816220Eldar refresh is bascially done, missing a few characters like Karandras, so moving onto to Dark Eldar makes sense. But I agree it is suspicious the Black Library contest is so limited in location and Commorragh is involved. I don't know how Ynnari plot could be worse than what already happended to Commorragh. Leliths left the city to worship Ynnari, Vect was nearly overthrown overnight by Ynnari followers and had to fake his death and kill all the other archons to be reborn. He also lost complete control of the city for a little while Mandrakes stopped the daemon invasion with Kheradruakh acting as the leader of the city for a little while.
>>94816220>I find it extremely suspicious that they specified Commorragh because since when does GW give a fuck about Dark EldarThey're bringing back Jaghatai next.
>>94816327He's going to come back from the Dark city 10k years later looking like a joy mutant though
>>94816220I wouldn't take these as indications of anything. The AoS bit mentions Shadespire, which is about as irrelevant as a location can get in that game's current narrative.
>>94816143What chartreuse are you using on the gaunts that shit is like highlighter bright
>>94814999Repostan
Do gw rules writers have a guard bias and pulled a votann op release on 40k?What’s going on with the negativity towards guard players right now?
>>94816350>I wouldn't take these as indications of anything.Well I would, fag.
>>94816220It's more likely that commorragh and Armageddon is that they are insanely large, and variable meaning you can have isolated things happen within them without it affecting the entire universe, which is the same reason gw only wants two characters interacting. They aren't interested in having someone from outside the company bottleneck their writing
>>94816387Guard players have been bitching recently because GW removed basic infantry squads so now your infantry squads have to be run as the cadian, catachan or kreig ones and thats literally it because the cadian one is just the basic infantry squad but with no heavy weapon team and the only actual rules change is you can't run heavy weapon teams in infantry squads anymore and GW is probably toning down guard (or maybe not) even though the army is dominating tournaments and guard tank lists are unbeatable for some armies.Also yes GW rules writers have a strong bias for Guard, Space Marines and Eldar. Cruddance is currently the head rules designer and has been since 8th and hes a giant fan of guard and space marines and gee its almost like guard vehicle spam is currently cancer.
>>94816391Why is the sorceror blushing through his helmet why he's saying that?
>>94816408>meaning you can have isolated things happen within them without it affecting the entire universeThis countered by the only characters being allowed being ones with Models, meaning they're mostly massivelt important characters/leaders.>They aren't interested in having someone from outside the company bottleneck their writingThe writing competition isn't going to influence the canon of the setting anon
>>94816387Now that eldar are almost fully updated there needs to be someone incessantly whining that their models from 1997 need to be supported
When I'm using contrast paints on things like capes I see brush strokes. How would I go about fixing that?
>>94816414It's not a blush, but a "menacing shadow over the face".
>>94816381This mf cute as hell, I don't think I've ever seen the sponsons for this era rhino chassis before. Are they hard to find or something?
>>94816420thin your contrast paints with contrast medium and load your brush up less
>>94816420Bigger brush
>>94816410Can’t they just see the stats as something to exploit and not something to whine about? That’s how I’ve been seeing it.>>94816419I mean we all whine here if I’m feeling honest. I was just wondering what the cause was this time.
>>94816427I reject your headcanon, and instead choose to believe the sorcerors wishes are being beamed to the beakie unsolicited
>>94816432>hard to findKinda. I think SM tanks in general from that era are pretty rare with the exception of the rhino since it was included in army sets.
>>94815778>HUUUUUUUUUUUUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
>>94815778>This is your chance to really let your creative juices flow.>You can only write in these three spots which only involve six factions>and you need named characters to participate so you can only use five factions.
>>94816445Hot...
Idk what meme stuff to add to my all Catachan army without being a tryhard now that GW is squatting all the Forgeworld options. I was going to add a ton of flyers but now they're gone and the Valkyrie is absolutely useless.
>>94816506>forgeworld squatted All of it? Even the legends support?
>>94816519I can't take legends stuff to events at least as far as I know, I want to go to narrative events.
Can someone explain to me why dark angels get a unique flyer?
>>94816529
>>94816529The Rock has stockpiles of DAoT tech that dangles hide from others.
>theres a tournament on close to where I live>the organisers have specified that it's very casual (don't require shit to be painted and based, etc)>I have played only 2 games since getting back into 40k, didn't finish either of them due to asking a shit tonne of questions, and the shop I was playing in was closing so we had to get outThere's a 2.5 hour limit on games (I'm assuming this is standard), in tournaments if the game doesn't finish within the time limit is the winner determined by whoever has the most amount of points when the time runs out? I get it's supposed to be very casual but I feel like I'll just be wasting everyone's time due to being slow as fuck
>>94816529The dark angels have to be the best at everything and have more toys because they're the first. Mary sue faction on the same level as custodes.
>>94816542>don't require shit to be painted and based, etcSounds terrible
pretty much finished this squad of termies, sorry for bad picture quality but I'm still confined to my bedroom until my leg heals more and lighting is shit here.
>>94816550You have some recognizable painting skills.
>>94816529They have to compete with blood angels for the Mary sue title
>>94816559Please, BA are not mary sues. They have one of the worst gene seed flaws, a dead dad and they look gay. It's not even close.
>>94816579ignore this fag his next line will be HURR THEIR FLAW IS DEY FIGHT BETTER IN 40K??? HOW HORRIBLEthere's no arguing with him, we've tried for over a year now

>>94816550>painted terraina better man than I
>>94816548Well about half of my army is painted so at least I can get a few games in that day. Tbf it won't be much different to some of the games posted here, the amount of times I've seen blue ork bro or steel legion enthusiast post games against armies that are barely painted is quite often

>>94816529Because they have their own codex, so need bullshit extra units to justify selling that book to people playing a dark green ultramarine army.
>>94816607Nah they were renegades not chaos. They still felt loyal to the emperor just not the imperium
>>94816637>They still felt loyal to the emperor just not the imperiumThey were still loyal to the Imperium even then. Dante just thought (rightly) they were too far gone.
>>94816615I dunno man sounds like they get the better end of the deal with the gene seed. At least compared to psykers.
>>94816643yeah losing your mind unless you constantly drink human blood and distract yourself with intensive creative outlets is definitely the better end of the dealcompared to the flaws of the dark angels of we're ashamed that half of us went evil 10k years ago so we've become CIA spooks hunting them down and anybody who knows about them ooo our suffering is soooo great
>>94816643yeah the better end of the stick for sure
I have drawn my superior franchise beating up your inferior franchise
>>94816609As long as it takes, iso isn't going to do anything to your models by leaving them for even years
>>94816683>>94816688You’re still proving my point, blood angels at the end of the day are a far superior tool than most other legions. Their “curse” will see to it that any other marine would have already died in their place. If they were truly well and done a flawed group, they would have discontinued the use of the gene seed entirely.
>>94816711What a truly autistic thing to do
>>94816736(you)
>>94816609As long as they need. Shouldn't need more than a day or so and then a little scrubbing with a toothbrush should handle it.For maximum thuroughness, you could probably toss them back in and give them another round with the brush after a second day, but that's probably not needed.
>>94816736>erm their flaws don't count because they're still around xP(you) can try harder than that
blood angels are sick
>>94816762Agreed
>>94816756>>94816739I accept your concession. Blood angels have been and always will be up there with space wolves and Dark angels as the Mary sues of 40k. The return of the primarchs will only solidify this.
>>94816736They keep their flaws hidden, just like every other flawed chapterRetarded flufflet
>>94816773Yes yes you're very desperate for attention, here (you) go
>>94816711That reminds of kids back then drawing 40k genociding furries and shit.
@94816773>God blood angels are such mary sues unlike dark angels >a-a-ackshually they're all mary sues gotcha xDDnot even worth the (you)
>>94816796that was flashgitz only joke back in the day so that tracks
>>94816774They try to.IIRC the Angels Vermillion eat people. They’re not even renegades, but they are basically disowned by the progenitor chapter.
>>94816762I hope they get better soon anon
>>94816773Sanguinius is one of the deadest guys in the setting. Bringing him back would be an insult; an affront to the image of him as a messianic figure.He died so the Emperor would live. So the Imperium would live.
>>94816831Don't try to reason with him, he's just fishing for attention Hence his broadening of his argument to all the non-codex chapters and nonsensically mentioning the primarchs out of nowhere
>>94816773literally nobody wants sanguinius back, not even bangels players. i doubt gw is that out of touch
>>94815995Looks good
>>94816840They aren't that stupid, they didn't even try to do some fusion dance of dante or astaroth and the sanguinor to make a fancier centerpiece for their refresh, they're not going to just get to 11e and go OH SANG IS BACK TOO LOL
>>94816167Basecoating is the absolute worst fucking activityAssembly has mold line removal and stub sanding which slows things to a crawl
>>94816840They should bring back sangweenus as a ghost but give him a fat ass and big bazoombas

Do ironhands hate admech?
>>94816887niggas literally become mindless berserkers that get sent on suicide missions and their entire fluff is based around coping with it idk how it has no draw backs when their whole lore is "they do art because it helps them cope with their gene flaw" they quite honestly have very little character beyond that
>>94816900they're buddies, admech give them secret extra shit
>>94816869so because they have a flaw (one that serves to just give them more special units) it doesnt matter that they do everything else better
>>94816900No? Why would they? They get along well.
>>94816900Ironhands are basically a puppet chapter of the admech
>>94816910I thought marines generally hated them because of how admechs doctrine seems to cross with what marines believe and are taught.
>>94816862>craftsmenArtists. And it’s a coping mechanism for the Flaw.>PsykersSomewhat. Mephiston is kind of a Sue but it balances out with him being disliked by the chapter when he isn’t in his coffin trying to scry far-away places.>Long livedIt’s just one guy. Marines usually die in combat before they can even approach elderly (for an Astartes).>FlawOnce the black rage hits, that brother is a casualty waiting to be collected.>Imperium loves them The Imperium values self-sacrifice over almost any other virtue.

>>94816937iron hands are one of the few chapters that have really good relations with the admech
>>94816947>respected Don’t they go out of their way to ruin relations
>>94816937Iron Hands are tech-fetishists like the AdMech, but don’t worship the Omnnissiah. Iron Hands probably get along better with the techpriests than with the Guard.
>>94816955They're the FIRST. The template for all other marines. The other chapters are jusy pale immitations, derivatives of the emperors true chosen. That position demands respect regardless of them being dicks
>>94816961>They're the FIRSTnopejust the first legion number
>>94816947No one likes insecure space glowies
>>94816963No they were literally the first and most favored marines made during unification. Not just a number
>>94816970>most favourednopeimp fists and luna wolves were preferred along with their space dads
>>94816959Iron Hands do worship the Omnissiah, the whole reason for Sons of Medusa existing was Moirae Schism.
>>94816989Anon meant "most flavoured", as in "most fruity".
>>94814813Black or grey primer?
>>94816989NopeDA were the greatest during unification. The celebrity worship of their space dads came later
>>94817000nope, greatest during unification were ultramarines and world eaters
>>94816996yes
>>94816862I mean sure but that's kinda par for the course for well known marine chapters. Space Wolves are even worse.
>>94816996black for anything with good coveragewhite or offwhite for paints with bad coveragegrey is nice but you'll have to spray much heavier to ensure uniform coverage since your plastic will be so close in tone
>>94817009>Space Wolves are even worse.yeah and we clown on them toobangles, dangles and wolves all deserve it
>>94816996grey, i find black too dark for most models (excluding metallics)

>>94817084The problem is not that there is too much red, the problem is that the parts that are red are chosen at random, without any thinking behind the choice.
>>94816996I generally prefer black, unless I'm painting something that needs to be bright like yellow or whitesometimes silver primer for primarily metal stuff but often black for that too
Why do they call it JW?
>>94817084It might be too much red but its hard to say until you paint the rest of it
>>94817105Yeah>>94817109not finished>>94817110It's the armor that pops out rather than stays flush with the rest of the tank. >>94817123Yeah that's all the red I'm adding.
>>94816996Grey with white zenithal, black for vehicles as my scheme is mostly black anyway
>orks depend entirely on one unit to kill anything tougher than a marine>it's the new fancy unit that comes only in a kill team bundle and you probably need to run at least 3 of themwhat cunts
>>94817140Buy the old models then
>>94817140what unit are you talking about?
so when slaanesh came into being the warp shifted as if she had always been there or something?what would then happen if a chaos god would die? would the warp change as if that god had always been dead or had never existed?
>>94817167Will never happen because chaosfags can't face any loss with consequences without throwing a fit.
>>94817175But enough about eldarfags
>>94817175>Will never happen because GW will never bench something that makes them moneyftfy
>>94817158tankbustas i'm assuming
>>94817167>would the warp change as if that god had always been dead or had never existed?I could see it going either waymaybe depends on how it was killed
>>94817167Killing a chaos god is less even likely than making a fifth major chaos god which is already not going to happen. God I want a yellow chaos god
>>94814865I dunno ask /hhg/
>>94817277no we need less of them, kill one off and replace it kek
>>94817277>god hand in warhammer
>>94817158breakas/tankbustas yea>>94817157the breakas are more important than tankbustas id say
>>94817295>Five chaos gods make up the hand of the Primordial annihilator>Five gods to represent the literal hands of the current dominant species of the 'Great Wheel', humanityVashtorr freeing the fifth god sealed by the Old Ones in another dimension would explain its abscence as well as being the only being powerful enough to do something like that and have the key to its prison be so complicated to put together.
>>94817310how powerful are these fucks? i don't know shit about Berserk
>>94817316berserkfags wouldnt know either.but i think they are very similar to the chaos gods. you just have to keep in mind that berserk only takes place on one planet whereas 40k is an entire galaxy.
>>94817316More like upper daemon princes tier that full gods in their own right imo. They're above the apostles which are like you standard 'mook' daemon prince, but not as powerful as a full god.So greater daemon level
>>94817084I think if you break up the red with some black or white simple freehand like a stripe on the tread guards that it would do a lot for you
>>94817316babby tier compared to a lot of 40k
>>94817337>>9481734140k is a pretty overpowered setting, though I feel a good chunk of manga/anime comics or even just novels that can or has characters that beats itespecially video games too, though power scaling is an annoying subject, it starts fun and escalates from there
>>94817316It's honestly hard to say since you rarely see them take direct action. Their abilities mostly revolve around manipulating space/gravity and fate. Up until very recently (in terms of the manga's plot) they were mostly confined to their specific portion of the spirit world and could only manifest themselves in the physical either during an eclipse or in places where the physical and spirit worlds overlapped, and even in the latter case they could only manifest through mediums like a horde of rats or a pile of entrails taking the shape of their forms. Of the one member of the God Hand that actually does things in the physical world, it's basically shown that he's physically unassailable. Arrows fired at him just miss, anyone who dares get close and attempt a swing find their blows warped through space in another direction, things just go his way nearly effortlessly, etc.TL;DR>>94817328
>>94817316They're powerful enough to get their anuses stretched.
any other sci fi worlds with factions fighting like 40K? I like it but I want to see new factions and who knows when a new one will be made for this game but I want to see more
>>94817401Infinity.
>>94817401Too many to list.
>>9481740130knecromunda
>>94815462Flag of Portugal is one of my favorites, looks majestic. Red and Green. Colors just should match each other.
>>94817401Fuck on Destinyfag
>>94817401Do One Piece in space.
>>94817421then give the best
>>94815778>>94815976That's great! Thank you anon!Can we have chaos please?
>>94817401Almost all of them?
talk me out of buying 54 nurglings and four GUOs
>>94817401Your bio-titan has arrived.
>>94817468what's this from?
>>94817474I see you requesting a smug. Tell me which one you want.
>>94817467Do it
>>94817438In sallys case its the choice of shades that looks bad. Blue and purple don't go well with those either. Like I appreciate that the guy is positive and posts models and games but I am not going to pretend his scheme is good because it's not. He admits it himself so why do so many people jump on his dick for some reason?
Astronauts
>>94817479no I meant what game?
>>94817488They shades look fine together, I think you just don't like them, which is fine
>>94817503Take this /tg/ smug.
This will be your new Tau Pulse Rifle design.
>>94817503
>>94817534ultralisk is a great game yeah
i bought a box a chaos cultists but the box itself doesnt allow for any weapon choices even though the datasheet says you can have a grenade launcher, heavy stubber and a flamer. im guessing i bought the wrong box or something?
>>94817510>>94817534my bad, never heard of this gamethought it was some publisher name or something
>>94817497AEIOU
>>94817541>ultraliskAnd when you google it you find what game its from. From there you can piece together what SC2 stands for
>>94817553wait, this is just starcraft I don't like starcraft
>>94817401with miniatures or without miniatures?have you already checked beyond the gates of antares? mantic firefight? striketeam commander? trench crusade? grimdark future?
>>94817559trench crusade is not sci fiand it doesn't matter if it has miniatures or not
How's everyone going this evening, remember the Stars will reward us!
>>94817569>tfw I watched a video about that japanese cult a couple days agowhat a ride that was, those obviously fake levitation photos were my favorite part though
>>94817572>obviously fake levitation photos No stalker child its you are are obviously fake, our family in void calls to us and we will answer!Enjoy the digestion pool
I like the idea that the perfect Nid hivemind is splintering just because how fucked up the 40k galaxy is
Which army attracts the worst painters?
>>94817586space latrines and ig
>>94817586marines and nids
>>94817569Just got done with this batch, well in time for my crusade match this sunday.I'm pretty happy how they turned out, you don't have to look too closely, but since there's always a whole block of them it works out well enough.
>>94817586Which army has the most x will always be space marines since there are more SM players than other players combined
>>94817586The current newest thing
>>94817599I like em looks like mining prisonerd
>>94817586Orks and death guardAlways some bullshit excuse to be messy when controlled weathering looks better
>>94817580the cicatrix and other warp anomalies may severe the hive mind into more local entities, but at large that doesn't seem to be the case and the severed parts would be likely to reconnect once they can communicate againit is a workable plot hook for a nid vs nid campaign if you and your other nids playing buddy don't like the "it's a planned selection process" excuse
>>94817569Pretty good, just ordered 54 nurglings and four GUOs
>>94817586>paintersLucky. Some don't even paint.
>>9481758675% of the necron armies ive seen are unpainted
>>94817586salamanders
>>94817586space marines of all stripes
>>94817615>unpaintedcan't be the faction of "the worst painters" then if no one actually paints
>>94817623oops i forgot to say: but salamanders always seems worse
>>94817586salamanders followed closely by lamenters
>>94817616>>94817629Post minis.
>>94817633stop posting yours
>>94817633
>>94817586Space marines due to the high % of ownership and most likely to be someone's first army, outside of that probably orks. I don't expect people to do several layers on ork skin (tbf I don't even do that) but fucking hell drybrushing metallics across everything and calling it a day is lazy as fuck
>>94817626why are you pretending to be me just so you can sperg about sallyfag?
>>94817605Thanks, I didn't really think about that at first. I just wanted an army in warm colors, coming from Sautekh necrons being all silver, black and green.Actually I was calling them garbage collectors, seeing how their vehicles are also bright orange.
>>94817639What happened to he mans eyes?
>>94817616>>94817626>>94817629uh oh, edgecoc melty
>>94817637Yeah I also do not understand why someone would post minis from a tabletop game warhammer 40k in a "/40kg/ - Warhammer 40,000 General", unbelievable
>>94817639SOVLcyclops astartes?
>>94817649he saw purple orcs :D
>>94817648How you liking them gameplay wise?
>>94817670I've only had two games so far, but I like it. My crusade is against sisters, so even the S3 weapons get some damage done from time to time.
>>94817642Ive never seen a well painted ork army...............................
>>94817684I honestly don't know what constitutes a well painted ork army desu. I like the blue orks posters, one of theirs is quite straight forward but looks nice
>>948176842 of the blue ork posters here have objectively well painted armies
>>94817688>>94817693t. the blue orks posters
>>94817693>>94817688>literally the two ork posters talking about themselves
>>94817633sure
>>94817698>>94817693>>94817688I mean irlThey all put on thick paintAnd theyre always goffs
>>94817706>goblin greenBased and 90spilled
>>94817698>>94817702I'm a goffs man, also live on the other side of the world from those two>>94817710I'm yet to see a goffs army irl yet
>>94817702>the two ork posterstheres at least 4 blue ork posters at last count
Armies with the most varied playstyles?
>>94817684I like the blue ork guys their stuff looks pretty nice.
WHY IS THERE SO MANY BLUE ORKS YOU KNOW THEYRE THEIVES RIGHT? PLAY THE NOBLE ORKS. THE REDS
>>94817725last time I counted, there were 8or was it 16?
>>94816940>Mephiston is kind of a SueMy nigga nobody ever even said they were Mary Sues or hated them until he came along. He not only has more fucking books than even Dante but he is absurdly overpowered in every single one of them. Even in Devastation, where Dante (and others) got humbled or just kicked around like a football, he got to do something that not only would be giga heresy for anyone else to even suggest, he succeeds with no meaningful consequences. Again. He does this shit a lot more in his own wanky books, but is extra smug while doing it there.>his miniature has an anime pose It's impossible to not hate this fuck. Other BA wank is made pale by the fact this guy is like "oh yeah the Black Rage lol I came back haha skill issue". He literally took Lemartes' thing, a Chaplain who suffers incredibly while doing it, but does it effortlessly with no downsides and many benefits. If anything, he is everything bullshit about Blood Angels turned up to 11.
>>94817730orksgreen horde, dread mob, kult of speed, elite heavy are all options
>>94817736when orks are posted online they're blue due to blueshiftwhen orks are coming closer to you they're red due to redshiftwhen orks are in front of you they're black because everyone paints them goff
>>94817749>kult of speed>an optionI play them woth max deffcopters and they definitely need a buff>their advance and charge enhancement out of vehicle doesnt work with wagh
>>94817730CSM, orks, genestealers
>>94817730Space Marines unironically. You can spam vehicles where all they do is shoot shit. You can spam vehicles where they carry dudes into melee. You can mix these with Dreadnoughts that do both (or just one if you prefer). Some of your vehicles let you jump out, shoot and jump back in. Others let you jump out and move or charge.You can Infiltrate multiple dudes of varying roles around the battlefield, as well as deep striking pretty much anything anywhere. You can deep strike cheap melee dudes. You can deep strike fast melee dudes. You can deep strike elite dudes. You can drop a drop pod of shooty dudes (or more melee dudes if you prefer). You also have several Scout choices, not least of all Scouts themselves, who are also able to infiltrate AND redeploy. You have hardy objective holding units that can shoot pretty well at skirmishers. You have cheap obsec units that are also decent at shooting other chaff. You have fast melee infantry (or others that can go in transports). You have characters that can give melee units Fights First and gib enemy characters. You have others that can give a whole unit 4++. This is before even adding any detachment bonuses that boost all manner of bullshit or snowflake units that are good at melee, shooting or whatever else is fitting. Not all your detachments are good but even the most basic one is great for almost any army. You can go all in on one aspect (shooting, mobility, melee, sneaking etc) and dominate it or you can meld a couple together. You can run lots of elites, vehicles or just spam blobs of dudes, though some detachments make these things more or less attractive.Marines can do ANYTHING YOU WANT. That's why people play them.
>>94817754they're an option as a way to build your army whether they're currently competitive or not
>>94817773Uhh... how about bikes?
Talking about waaagh, is it just the abilities that don't trigger when orks are inside a transport during the waaagh turn, or does it also include the buffs from the waaagh itself? No idea why they thought it was worth changing something like that, kinds fucks so many ork players over. Are we supposed to dismount all orks the turn before, get shot off the table and then waaagh when there's nothing left?
>>94817809Are we supposed to dismount all orks the turn before, get shot off the table and then waaagh when there's nothing left?You let your truck deadly demise on their turn then you clown car put your own dudes for a wagj
>>94817547Current cultist datasheet is all melee. Cultists with firearms got legended.
>>94817819not my cultists for thousand sons
>>94817586>>94817606Space Marines definitely because its the starter army for so many new people but Death Guard are also definitely up there. Countless times I have seen what looks like a person flicking brown ink at a plague marine and then them saying>its suppose to look like shit, its nurgle!
>>94817773Does any other army have +130 datasheets? I mean what the fuck do they even need that many lutenints
>>94817586okay well which one attracts the best painters then
>>94817818Still waiting to use the careen stratagem for that particular moment. It hasn't happened yet unfortunately

>>94817883how much bigger have you made her
>>94817885what is a girl
>>94817865>>wish it was way biggerIts pretty huge for a minituare though. I remember anons being so grateful to GW for making it a sensible size to make transporting it easier
>>94817896Something you'll never be
>>94816892Built from scratch.>>94817101Sometimes I do, in this case these parts were primed leadbelcher. Yellow was just built up patiently, and the blue is VGC magic blue, which has really strong coverage. The roller is from layering garaghak contrast and leadbelcher drybrushing with a few of the usual suspects for shakes (agrax, nuln oil).
What tape do you use when you are painting stripes with an airbrush? Is there a particular type of tape that doesn't rip off or ruin the paint?

I understand how conventional, ballistic forearms work.But for the fucking fuck FUCK of it, my brain can now wrap itself around how energy weapons work>look a bolt of lightning>it sonehow carries a ton of energy>???>guy is deadCan someone PLEASE explain it for a retard like me in simple terms how energy-based weaponry works, like the lasgun or melter or whateevr.
>>94817922sweet magical science
>>94817922it works like this:>look a bolt of lightning>it sonehow carries a ton of energy>???>guy is dead
>>94817754Kult of Speed is fun. Not good, but fun.Also who told you the enhancement doesn't work with Waaagh? It just lets you charge as if you had assault ramp on your transport. If you can advance+charge with Waaagh, then you can advance the transport, drop out, and charge as normal.
>>94817896they are the ones that recoil in terror when you enter your local McDonalds
>>94817922>>it sonehow carries a ton of energyYeah, the energy arrives, the guy flesh/armor is unable to absorb it, disipates as heat but the temperature is so high it vaporizes that guy
>>94817896A miserable pile of eat hot chip and lie
>>94817754you play kult of speed to go fast, not necessarily because they're good
>>94817824You're in for a surprise when your codex drops then.
>>94817933Ok, so what actually KILLS the guy is extremely high temperature?
>>94817942itll be a good surprise then, since my problem was that i dont have the grenade launcher, flamer and heavy bolter so if they take those away all is well
>>94817944Yeah, very localized it can blow holes
>>94817809They retconned that FAQ. The abilities don't trigger when the Waaagh is called anymore, instead they're always active when the Waaagh is active.
>>94817944No, what actually kills the guy is a lack of functional organs disrupting continuity of neurological function.
How are anons going with the BL submission? I know we've got a month for it but I had the day off and spent it writing mine up. Really happy with how it turned out add I think it suits Vects and Artemis' personalities really well. I just hope the two character rule just means living characters and they let you have corpses as scene decoration. A dead kill team enchained above Artemis really tied it all together for me.
>>94817958Sorry anon your chances are slim to none as a grand total of 5 people globally care about DE. The people at BL are not among them.
Are they showing emperor's children today?
>>94817958what
>>94817978But 40kg tells us on the daily that all Aeldari are super popular (Phoenix Lords in particular) and are the heart and soul of 40k.
how do i get someone else to paint my minis for me
>>94817990https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/hwb2kldr/black-library-open-submission-2025-write-your-two-favourite-characters-into-a-scene/
>>94817978It seems like an awful lot of people want to write about their favorite characters styling on Vect in Commorragh. I've seen several discussions of it already. He's just such a jerk and hasn't been used in so long that everyone is jumping at the opportunity.
>>94817992I mean, I know you're trolling but Phoenix Lords are about to get waaaaay more popular for a little while next month. Expect every fairweather fan to come crawling out of the woodwork.
>>94817958Would love to see your writing samples if you're comfortable sharing for peer review.Open invitation to anyone, really.I'm a huge fan of writing group discussions and would love to offer critique and share my eventual ideas here as well once I have time to think one through.
>>94818002>write about their favorite characters styling on Vect in CommorraghBut Vect styling on people in Commorragh is his all shtick, any scene where he's not winning or in complete control or working towards it is a scene hes been mischaracterised in
>>94815616Looks flat. Edge highlight it. Wash darker/dirt color around recesses and ribets. Highlight ribets. Maybe some weathering with a sponge?
>>94817978Two of the last eight 40k novels have been about Dark Eldar in Commorragh. Just saying.
>>94817926Wagh taktiks told me
>>94818013I would anon but I fear someone could very easily just copy paste my submission for themselves and get us both disqualified as I doubt BL will care enough to try and get to the bottom of who the real author is. I will happily share it the day after submissions close though!
>>94815991Tranny colors but I like it
>>94817936>battlewagon in kult of speed?????????
>>94817950OK thank fuck for that. For some reason I thought the wording was changed due to the bully boyz detachment, stating when the waagh is active for the army to differentiate from the second nobz / meganobz only waagh
>>94818015You would have been right when Path of the Dark Eldar was still canon. But now his only canon appearance is in Lelith Queen of Knives where he is a paper tiger.
>>94817958Do they fug
>>94818025Doesn't have the keyword but it suits a speed freeks army
>>94818022Aye, fair enough. Might have to go rouse my old writing group to brainstorm and share drafts with.
>>94816153Too strong of a edge highlight for my liking, but looks good.
>>94818033Wouldnt trukks work better?
>>94818001i would try but i know it will just be cringe
>>94818031Artemis has been known to always want to fuck the Eldar no matter the cost.
>>94817999pay them
>>94818047noo
>>94818040When you're writing camp, you have to learn to embrace the cringe. Trust your audience to be on the same level as you and want to engage in juvenile cartoonish schlock.
When are shootas good? With a lethal hits aura?
>>94817999Marry them
>>94817897>Its pretty huge for a minituare though.It should've been a knight sized bug.
>>94818057my penis is too tiny for marriage, she would laugh and leave me.
>>94818059Same. I play orks
>>94818029I just finished the Path of the Eldar trilogy a couple weeks ago and haven't read that lelith one, do they really do my boy dirty like that?>>94818031Well one of them is getting off on the pain suffering and torment of the other>>94818018Have they? on the BL site the last 10 40k books were, 7 were Imperial, 1 greenskins, 1 LoV and 1 Tau.Has anyone read/have a copy of the five tyranid E-books Blood Harvest, Devil Hunter, The Devouring Void, The Convocation and the Long and Hungry Road? They sound cool and they're all short stories. Are they any good?
>>94818038why not battlewagons AND trukks
>>94818055you can make a meme of them with dread mob, attach a mek to a mob of 20 shoota boyz and you can press the red button with them
>>94818070Dat sounds like zoggin fun
>BL competion>scene with BA apothecary Corbulo vs Fabulous Bill>Corbulo on the ground beaten and dying>Bill being cordial and apologetic to his colleague but with a smidge of mockery>Bill is after the high concentration of Sanguinus blood in Corbulos blood How should I end the scene? Curbulo dying/going black rage or should he be left there after Bill has taken what he wants?
>>94818061The Ork book, The Big Dakka, is actually a Dark Eldar book.
>>94818076This. Its a good commoragh book
>>94818076Bl aren't selling that atm, not even as an e-book, just the red gobbo book
>>94818083Black Library rotates their printers so they only have stock of a selection of their novels at a time.
>>94818088E-books are just pdfs though? No printing needed
>>94818095DONT QUESTION GW SILENCE
>>94818064Too many transports
>>94818075Some sort of fate worse than death could be cool. Like Corbulo being turned into one of the 'new men' or something. Or Corbulo goes full black rage and Fabulous Bill needs to throw a horde of cultists so he busy tearing them apart as he leaves with the blood
>>94818020He's incorrect. When you disembark from a transport that has advanced, you count as having advanced as well. There's no change to how the assault ramp enhancement or Waaagh works. The enhancement lets you charge after disembarking from a moving transport, and Waaagh! lets you charge after advancing.
My BL entry is going to be between fabius bile and yvrainne. in a desperate attempt to save his own life fabius bile inject yvrainne with a random cocktail of chemicals and but instead of pain yvrainne feels pleasure and then she explodes in size and becomes as big as the planet commoragh and crushes it between her thighs and bile escapes through a wormhole i something i dont care
>>94818103this guy doesnt kult of speed
>>94818111Oh coolTime to play the kult next weekI only picked to do insane battlewagon drops
>>94818116Damn thats hot
>>94818123Based. No Kult of Speed is complete without Trukkboyz (even if they're in wagons).Have fun, anon.
Tau noses creep me out, they look like skeletal holesDo they sneeze out it? And do kid Tau pick it? And like flare?
>>94818116
>>94818152ew shes a hag. ill write it about ursula creed instead
>>94818116Most sane fan submitterTop three consideration by GW for sure
>>94818129
>>94818116I honestly wonder how many of these BL submissions are just gratuitous smut.
>>94818198All of them, I hope. Make the poor GW interns that have to read this drivel as uncomfortable as possible.
>>94818198One more once I'm done with my Nork Deddog x Yvriane slash fiction.
>>94818201Would they read the whole thing if i put scat related scenes
>>94818111That’s wrong, you can’t disembark from a transport that advanced at all unless it has a special rule, you still only count as having made a normal move and can’t charge without assault ramp unless you got out before it moved period. I’d love to see the ruling that disproves my understanding though. I hate transport rules so much and wish I never had to learn them but noooooo, mydudes detachment has to be all about transport shenanigans instead of extra durable infantry.
>>94818201I'm now tempted to make a story about a female custodes and a guardsman.

>>94818211Well shit, just looked it up. Missed that part about advancing transports.The enhancement is the special rule that lets you charge after disembarking from a moving transport, though.
>>94818220Dread mob orks
>>94818232>has to buy 18 boxes of ironstriders/dragoons to win a match
>>94818211>but noooooo, mydudes detachment has to be all about transport shenanigansTry playing Skysplinter DEldar
>>94818248That hasn't been true for over half a year. You do still have to buy six boxes of battleline Skitarii, though.
>>94818220Thousand sons
>>94818265dumbass you have to buy tzaangors
>>94818255I’m not an edgy 15 year old or a woman so no thank you. Excuse me if I have no sympathy for “lmao 15 darklances”
>>94818265>army literally only has like 9 datasheets
can you have two different units in one rhino.i have two squads of rubrics 5 each, and they are both led by one HQ sorceror each. so thats twelve models and the rhino can fit 12 models. but can they actually enter the rhino together or is there some rule that says you cant have 2 untis
>>94818288it has only 2 actuallyheroes and tzaangors don't count
>>94818313Yea. You can have as many units in there as you want bad long as you don’t go over capacity, fair warning you don’t get any of the benefits of them being on the field though. So any start of game abilities don’t work unless you start outside the transport.
>>94818013Not my submission but wrote this today since I thought about this scenario at lunch. Just some fun grimdark writing for anyone curious https://gofile.io/d/ef51a9fd-ca60-4e3e-98bb-ad53f6139a70
>>94818319oh so i dont get cabal points. maybe i wont put a rhino in my army then thanks
New Marine just dropped.He is most certainly a marine.
>>94818332I’m not sure about the cabal points. That might be different. The example I know of is Vulkan’s ability that lets him pick an objective at game start where he’s oc 10 and gets some defensive buffs if he’s on it. If he’s in reserve it’s fine, but if he starts in a transport then he doesn’t get to pick an objective.
>>94818360Handsome lad, the Icon he weilds looks really fucking nice. Unique helmet to. Not sure on the chainmail in the gapes of the power armour though. 9/10
>>94818360Ya wanna know how I got these white scars
