>>94818394IM THROOOOODING
>>94818405the old one is actually at page 8, dumbass
>>94818394>TQEldar lore is definitely compelling. It compels me to ignore them.
just wait until page 9 next time and youll be alright in my book thoorder
>>94818394>TQFSEPost minis, talk about your process. Have a good day.
>>94818394I can’t wait to see the new Emperor’s Children tonight!!!!! Been waiting so many years for this.
Do retards actually pay for youtuber tutorials?
>>94818462I mean I could see something like that being useful for beginners maybe?
>>94818394What is the gayest 40k army after dark angels? Also someone beat me to the punch with making a gachi remix of immortal imperium.youtube.com/watch?v=S00y1hmfBgk
>>94818452>Post minis, talk about your processThunderkyn from last night. Almost done with them.I'm trying to do a more volumetric highlight with these guys on their copper color, after doing regular edge highlights on the rest of the army and realizing it doesn't look good for this scheme. What do you guys think? It's easiest to see the effect on the large shoulderplates
>>94818467Eldar
>>94818462you're on a website that probably had a lot of users looking at "how to draw anime/manga" shitbooks in the 90s, what do you think?
>>94818467Tau
Eldar sluts
>>94818477>nta I could go for a good how to draw anime/manga book that is actually good to find out if I learn better from books than YouTube videos. End goal would be to earn money off the warhammer ip with secondaries commissioning me warhammer art and maybe do a black lion of ultramar piece of art.
>>94818467emperor's childrenfollowed by dark eldarthen blood angels
>>94818467, 40k is gay-coded
>>94818452>Post minis, talk about your process.I'm going to try work on some paper banners over the weekend. Did this guy a while back but wasn't super happy with this one (amongst other things the varnish made the transfer stick out a bit too much), going to try make it look a bit more raggedWill try a few more with thick paper like this, then maybe scrounge up some plastic card and see what I can do with that
>>94818516*all of themidk how it got erased
>>94818452Sure. I need to work on my sanguinary guard now. About 600 more points to paint.
>>94818414Throood harder next time lmao
>>94818521soaking it in coffee might add a nice weaterhing effect
>>94818469What copper paint is that
>>94818496Reminder that Craftworld Eldar will literally die of depression if they don't have a hyperfixation at every moment of their life.
>>94818562It's a mixture. I wanted to replicate a specific color and no single paint had what I wanted.>Basecoat a mixture of 3:1 AP rough iron and Vallejo hammered copper>Wash with seraphim sepia>Volumetric highlight with citadel brass Scorpion
>>94818496How old do eldar live to?
>>94818582That's quite a mix, anon. It does look very unique
Nice primaris helmet.
>tfw STILL waiting for my tankbustas to arriveIt will be the first kit I'll do a sub assembly on, I want to give these boyz the justice they deserve
>>94818596wrong general bucko
>>94818596why do they even bother painting the face if they are just going to hide it under the helmet?
In the Deathwatch novel, an inquisitor had a plan of feeding the Tyranids T'au flesh so that the T'au non-psyker genes would infect the Tyranids and cause the dissolution of the Tyranid synaptic network aka the Hivemind.Would the plan have worked?
>>94818593Yeah, I like it. Gives the dwarves more of an actual dwarven metal look instead of having the same material as space marines, at least to me.It's quite dark when looked at from a distance, though (plus, these are old paintjobs so I'll need to repaint a lot of these). I'm trying to change my bases into ice&snow instead of rocky snow to give them more of a pop.
>>94818608Same reason people paint in sub-assemblies>autismus maximus
>>94818469I like it as it is but you could push your brightest highlights and some edges closer to silver to imitate light reflecting off the surface more
>>94818610No. Norn Queens aren't mindless entitirs that just shove in whatever genes they're provided with. The Nids would either eradicate whatever gene leads to T'au not having psychic abilities, or would enhance and weaponize it into a new bioform utilizing other genes while doing so.
>>94818634Then how come the Tyranids give the genes of the Malstrain strain stealers a long breadth?
>>94818610>Nids have never eaten Tau before>Would the plan have worked?Nope, nids can actively decide which parts of consumed DNA will be assimilated and expressed in future bioforms. They could've just ignored that non-psyker gene.
>>94818633I was actually considering that already. The longer I looked at the shoulderplates the more I kept thinking "these aren't highlighted enough."Not really many places that would need it, though. Surprisingly there aren't a lot of really angular edges that need brighter highlights. Take a look at this warrior I did the volumetrics on, for example.
>>94818610nothe average tyranid has little to no role in the absorption, selection and integration of genetic data, and the organisms that do so all seem highly synaptic/psychic/conscious in what they do and test things outif the inquisitor thought it was a viable strategist then perhaps in some contexts it is, I can imagine an isolated swarm infesting a planet as running pretty much on autopilot, absorbing as much as possible, and throwing as much shit to the wall to see if it sticks, so in that case perhaps it would disrupt their coordination, if not permanently at least for a time
>>94818641Because that's radioactive waste.Imagine spraying a meal with a full can of insect repellant before you ate it.Yes you can still eat it, and maybe some part of it is still good, but it's not going to be something you want to eat and it will probably do nothing but hurt you.
>>94818641the tyranids give a wide breadth not to the genes but to the psychic signal that the malstrains give off from necromundaif the psychic signal is not strong enough, or good enough, it is a sign that the planet isn't worth throwing resources atit's a bad review
>>94818668The lore of the Malstrain says that if the Tyranids ever got face to face with the Malstrain both factions would see each other as anathema and seek to destroy each other.
>>94818610if that was possible tyranids would break down every time they would stop to eat a planet without psychic sentient races
>>94818680yes and? but they haven't met each other and the tyranids evaluate targets based on the quality of the patriarch's psychic signalquality is shit = planet isn't worth it
how do nid "evolve" or mutate? Do they spontaneously do it or do they do it after a battle they flee/win? How do they do it? Do they have specific nids for that or some kind of bio lab?
>still can't decide on a color scheme :(
>>94818471Yes
>>94818684The Admech theorizes that the reason behind the tau low psychic signature is the presence of chemicals in their brain that dim their Warp sensitivity.Tyranids eat tau and start producing these chemicals in their brains. Hivemind is defeated in one swoop. That's the idea.
>>94818701Same. What are your options?
>>94818697Norn queens sift through the a hired dna of every consumed species or world and pick and choose useful traits to add to various bioforms depending on the needs of the swarm.
>>94818701>>94818716Have you two tried not being cowards?
>>94818697The hive fleets can adapt their Tyranid swarms with each spawning. Some fleets are faster than others. Gorgon is by far the fastest. Leviathan is also fast.
>>94818716>>94818701cast off your shackles, embrace greytide
>>94818730More like gaytide, hence why so many players don't paint
>>94818452Well I painted the Impulsor I posted yesterday, I think it looks solid for now.
>>94818701White, blue, and gold. Quite literally the best color scheme in existence.
>>94818719ok but how? do the nids who consumed said body mass store the DNA in their being and the hive mind send the info or already shares it with the queens who then mix and match the data and then fabricate the dna based on the new info it refined then uses this dna to birth new shit?
>>94818697Basically;>Center of each Hive Fleet are the Norn Queens, powerful Synapse creatures housed on Tyranid bio-ships>On the ground, Nids will 'build' Reclamation Pools, which will melt down any organic matter and break it down to a genetic level to create Biomass>Everything that Nids capture is dragged to the pools. When the fighting is concluded the deployed Nids will also toss themselves in so their Biomass is reclaimed, along with anything they've eaten (Hormagaunts and Rippers notably both exist to scavenge for scraps and chunks of the dead, acting as organic storage meant to be dumped into the Pools when full)>Bioships will then deploy Capillary Towers to absorb the accumulated Biomass, from which the Norn Queens will pull genetic and psychic information to mutate and evolve future deploymentsEssentially if ANY Nids are able to escape from a failed offensive, the Norn Queens will adapt either new tactics or new strains to utilize for further assaults.
>>94818452Almost done with this warboss for an upcoming crusade. I've found myself gravitating more and more to bad moonz as time goes on. Some of my earlier models were very busy visually and I'm trying to clean up and simplify my aesthetics
>>94818697they have multiple approaches:one approach is to spawn waves of nids with a measure of variability so that natural selection can do its course, in those cases, usually gaunts, the tyranids carry eggs so that the broods that survive and prove successful can spawn a new wave with the selected adaptations directly on the planet surfaceotherwise the hive mind keeps track of what worked and what didn't and genetically alters the next batch of tyranids to produce in response to the fight's feedbacksthe tyranid that produces and genetically engineers the others is the gigantic termite-queen-like organism called the norn queen at the heart of each hive shipmalanthropes >>94818648 are tyranids that get deployed on the surface and study the enemy's biological samples directly on the ground, those sacs hanging from their bodies contain bodyparts and tissues that they are keeping preserved for experimentationnorn emissaries have been noted as potentially being a budding part of a norn queen and sometimes being tasked to retrieve stuff or personnel, perhaps they are also implicated in the selection of traitswe don't know much else
>>94818469Do you have a finished base with that scheme? Interested in those pebbles
>>94818701sameI've got some marines to paint, but havent liked any of the test schemes I've tried, plus I'm trying to steer away from blues, greens, bone and metallics as I've used them on my other dudes so its limited me a bit
How do you do weathering on black armour / vehicles? Use shades of grey on a sponge?
When you reroll dice, do you reroll all dice including the successful rolls, or just the dice without successful rolls.
>>94818464Yeah, people forget that paid instructional videos were a thing long before YouTube. Maybe this is worth it, maybe not, I know I'm not paying for it. Definitely something that would be better as a public demo or class, seeing as this is a social game, but there's nothing inherently wrong with a reasonably priced tutorial, assuming it's not just fifteen minutes long or part 1 of X. The real joke's when they charge $100+ per session with zero pedigree past having a Patreon and a local painting trophy or two.
>>94818771Yeah, here's what the finished result will look like.
>>94818716I don't know!
>>94818761Colors pop and I love his gold toof!
>>94818810Damn these looks good....
>>94818797Some players do if they are trying to get dev wounds or some shit
>>94818810
>>94818462You know I often see people on 4chan tell you to 'start a business' if you can't find a job, but usually they suggest becoming an HVAC guy out of nowhere or something. But I guess most businesses are like this.
>Craig and Eldar both announced in novemberOkayBut where are the eldar preorders?
>>94818834March.
>>94818462I've bought a patreon sub for painting tutorials before just out of curiosity. Even with the guides if you're a bit of a paintlet like me it's still quite difficult to paint to that standard
>>94818758so this tells me they drag biomass to these pits to be absorbed or eat them to store them then throw themselves to be absorbed and even the ones who don't store them will deploy to be reclaimed >>94818762this tells me they can specifically study the samples and experimented possible for more complex solutionsmy question is do they ever eat just because they are hungry?
>>94818608So it can catch a power axe and fly off while his sidehawk floats on the wind. It's really important for his character development, only true Sons of Horus understand.
>>94818845>and experimented possible meant and possibly experiment
>>94818727Leviathan does literally everything, it's such a mary sue amongst the nids fleets it's not even funny, every other fleet adapted to the subfaction rules and specialised in something but leviathan can't decide what its gimmick should beand the 4th tyrannic war should have been handed to a new fleet, typhon was promising, and could have easily shared the role with cetu, so that the gimmick this time would have been the two pronged approach both above and below the galactic plane and leviathan could have kept its moniker as the biggest fleet so far still
>>94818788You could just paint them purple like the homosexual that you are
>>94818845>do they ever eat just because they are hungry?Lesser Nid bioforms will devolve into feral pack activity in the absence of a Synapse creature to keep them in line.
>>94818858man I thought their main shtick is eating out of hunger
>>94818854bit weird
>>94818852I was really hoping Tiamet would get a chance to shine with the whole super beacon and their unusual behavior in not just stripping every planet bare but almost herding and storing other living things at times
>>94818883innit
>>94818810Fantastic dorfs, anon
When is the krieg box going to get split into a combat patrol / individual sets?
>>94818845>my question is do they ever eat just because they are hungry?most tyranids have extremely rudimentary digestive systems, they are not meant to live for long, just get deployed, rush against the enemy and get killed or kill, and are fed enough calories from the get go to be active the necessary amount ot time to do their job (probably via something like honey or royal jelly, I'd bet)the ones that eat do so mainly to gather biomass and then return to the reclamation pools or get eaten by another tyranid who will do thatof course some tyranids are forced to be deployed for extended periods of time, so they're created with more functional digestive systems, or develop their atrophied one into a functional one under stress should the situation require it, but even then tyranids are very efficient creatures, genestealers and lictors can stay alive without needing to eat for extremely long periods, especially if they lay dormant, like when they take a ride on a space hulk or some other drifting ship or asteroid
you know now I want a Tyranid base building rts game in which you deploy your nids to battle, win a battle, deploy the nids to take bio mass, create these pools to reclaim the living ones that return as "biomass" currency and unlock new DNA from the fallen enemy entitiesDeploy Hormagaunts and Rippers to aid in scavenging, then absorb them before an ambush the game mechanics allows you to alter minor things in your waves before sending them to evolve your strategy much like the hivemind, you alter them more if you have the required dna unlockedNorn queens are the base so to speak but are not on the ground but still need protection, youdeploy Malenthropes to aid in the process of studying and scavenging too\though I don't know how to make it different from the other two nids
>>94818894NeverPay up already, goy
>>94818901so you want spore but as a rts wargame
>>94818901zerg
I want a malstrain hivefleet.
>>94818912Spore is a stretch, it focuses on many things, but I think there are some similarities>>94818915is it fun?
>>94818865Nids ARE hungry. But it's more a paychological hunger. Eat and adapt to eat and adapt.
>>94818929I swear some day they will adapt to become eldritch horrors just to combat the daemons even more effectively cause I am sure they are good at fighting most enemies including chaos
>>94818918slap together nids, nurgle stuff, ossiarchs and malstrains and you should have more than enough to convert your fucked up swarm
>>94818946Yes, but I want it to be canon as well.
>>94818647Yeah that's what I'm talking about, just enough of something brighter than your first highlight to help sell the effect. You could also just put your guys under a lamp to help you see which places would benefit from further highlighting. Then again I see you're more about painting units/armies, I'm just autistic enough to put max effort into every mini I paint but I understand not everyone wants to do that
>>94818954malstrains are canonhiernatus did escape necromunda before he got caughtthe malstrains are sending a psychic signal even if the normal nids aren't answering itthere's more than enough space in the galaxy for herniatus to have seeded the malstrain germs into an actual tyranid swarm
It's so weird that GW blatantly ignores potential new customer groups that you can find with just a cursory look at social media. How are GW investors allowing the company to let these revenue streams go to waste?
>>94818979Yeah different strokes for different folks. I'm motivated by seeing a nicely painted full army on the table more than I'm motivated by seeing nicely painted individuals. So I do what I can to speed things along so I can see my dudes done, while keeping them looking nice.I'm not nearly patient enough to spend a lot of effort on each individual dude, save for characters. I commend those that do.
New lore from White Dwarf issue 507. It says that cannibalism among the different hive fleets was unseen until Hive Fleet Typhon which is described to be one of the stranger hive fleets.Did the Tyranid fans gaslight us into thinking that cannibalizing among the Tyranid fleet was widespread?
>>94819000gross
>>94819020Not a Tyranid fan, but it could just be a case of GW retcons striking again.
>>94819000anon that would just bring in more gay guys
>>94819020we talked about that some days ago didn't we?cannibalism within the tyranids have long been mentioned, hydra is seemingly targeting specifically smaller tyranid splinter fleets, and we have had instances of fleets meeting each other and selecting the best and redistributing biomass via an actual confrontation if there's a novelty in what typhon is doing it lies in attacking another fleet right after it has spent itself in an attack against a prey worldand that can be rationalised as not just typhon acting selfishly at the detriment of others fleets, but those fleets acting selflessly to the advantage of typhonwe have seen not too dissimilar "rearing" behaviours in tyranid fleets recently: kronos does not hunt to replenish its biomass, such is its focus to hunt down chaos with an almost single-minded purpose, instead other fleets attack and predigest worlds on the path of kronos so that it can eat those without having to waste time fighting an enemy that isn't chaosin warzone leviathan there's another instance that's still actually unknown in its purpose but potentially related and arguably even scarier: a whole planet got attacked by tyranids, but the biomass of the planet didn't get consumed, instead the entire planet and every organism on it got "cocooned" under some fleshy layer, perfectly preserved, perhaps left for something else to come pick up the feastfascinating, isn't it?
>>94819071Was asked for a picture because some people didn't believe me so I provided with a repost for the guys who missed it.
>>94819000>GW begins to follow 40k social media trends>Marines are now three times as strong as before>Chaos Marines are now all "emotionally scarred" so women will wabt to fix them>Orks remain as Orks>Eldar become even bigger losers; only successful Eldar are the ones who submut to the Imperium to become spouses to Human characters>Dark Eldar are now always represented by pale shirtless men with flowing black bair and dark red eyes>Tyranids become an even bigger joke>Tau get actual Gundams, but their women now lust for human men>Necrons become more silly, Trazyn becomes the new Silent King>Sororitas are now as strong as Marines in all things>Custodes become 1000 points for a single Custodian Guard, who can now move 60", hits at Strength 40 twenty times he attacks, and has a 1+/2++/2+++ save profile>Imperial Guard are now twice as strong as before, power shovels become their signature melee weapon of choice
>>94819000Worked for Rogue Trader
>>94818467Tau, followed closely by Dark Eldar then regular Eldar.
>>94818585Eldrad is thousands of years old, so a long ass time.
Black or bronze hilts for power swords? Or what color for hilts?
>>94819114isn't eldrad almost turning into crystal due to his age?
>>948190204e codex, pg. 16.
>>94819125I've heard that, although I wouldn't be surprised if GW retconned that to avoid killing him off.
>>94818510Blood angels? Nah...
>>94819071Here is the thing. The Chalnath Expanse is going to be the convergence point of Leviathan, Kronos, and Typhon. What do you think is going to happen when all three meet? I bet Levi is going to protect Kronos from Typhon.
>>94819163Nid fleets fight when they meet to determine who’s the best. Though sometimes some fleets leave planets alone so Kronos can get extra biomass since demons don’t give much.
>>94819163>What do you think is going to happen when all three meet?a threesome?
>>94819173>NORN QUEENS GONE WILD

>>94819163the nids will consume eachother and the best version of the nids will emerge, some imperial officer or eldar will then lead the nids away into a trap to be resolved in 13th
>>94818810You've improved a lot. I think your scheme still has problems with large blocks of similar colors, but you can see here how much better it looks when you have more reasons to pull in neutral blacks and browns to break up your red and gold. I also like the warm gray you're using on their weapons that I don't recall seeing you use before.
taking my nids out against nurgle daemons today against a guy who i know plays competitive, what do i bring and what am i in for?
>>94818452Repost from last thread, just working on the subassembly parts for my giant tank project.
>>94819201Battleshock everywhere, at least if he's using the new nurgle daemons detachment. It's pretty fun how many battleshock tests that thing forces you to take.
>>94819195The greys were always there, but they were darker before. I think brightening them up helped a lot.As for lots of similar colors that's a bit of a problem with votann in general for this scheme. Some of the models, like the thunderkyn, have large portions of material that'll end up being the same copper color, like the entire exosuit for example. I tried to break up the pauldrons a bit with the red, though. I think the new highlights are helping a lot more than what I used to do, but I'm definitely a lot happier with how my models are looking now than before.
>>94819201Never Admit defeat, always have a plan. If you feel like you are going to lose, have your wife/Girlfriend/Boyfriend call you and tell you there is an apartment fire and you have to save your Warhammer figures and run out.
Guys what do I get next for my Ordo Malleus army? So far I've got pic related plus:>1x Chimera>1x Inquisitor>1x the other three assassins>20x "fanatics" that I use as Navy Breachers>1x Brother-Captain>1x Brotherhood Champion>3x Brotherhood Librarian>5x GK Terminators>5x Purifiers>Canis RexOnly things left planned out are a Terminator Chaplain, a Grand Master, and another Brother-Captain. Not sure what else to get.. but I want to get more.
>>94819299Get more assassins. Or just wait until you get another kill team.
man i kind of hate the idea of a machine spirit. i get its there to have technology still functioning even through damage and decay. but god its just such a dumb concept. when i was new to warhammer i didnt realize machines actually had a spirit, instead i just thought it was a religous analogy for maintaining that equipment. but nooo its got to have a soul, i hate it.
>>94819357Just play votann.
>>94819357if you go back and read stuff from third going forward and ignore what people have told you, it becomes pretty evident pretty fast machine spirits are a real thing.Like Ork belief or faith powers, certain things have always been evident within the text and it was always the psuedofans who try to obfuscate it saying "we can't know"
>>94818992>malstrains are canonYes.But a malstrain hivefleet isn't.>hiernatus did escape necromunda before he got caughtWe don't know.
>>94819371yeah that is exactly what im saying i hate. i hate that they are real
>>94819357There are quadrillions of humans in the Imperium who believe that their machines have spirits, the collective belief of humanity manifests that belief into reality.
>>94819375do you hate them in concept or because you were always under the impression its a meme
>>94819089All of these are good changes.
>>94819382i hate it as a concept
>>94819390>>94819382i should say that its i like it as a concept for chaos though
>>94819089Tau women already lust for human menSource: I like it
>>94819397theres a line in 3e necrons where abaddon learns whats in the noctis labyrinth and laughs at it
>>94819374>But a malstrain hivefleet isn't.What is Ouroboros?
>>94818894Whenever the new codex drops. They'll bundle it all together so you're obligated to buy it, but when the codex fully releases, half the reason to buy the box is lost, so they'll split it up and try and grab the rest of the market then.
>>94819374Does it have to be a fleet? Could just be an infectious splinter than nobody's able to fully eliminate.
this fucking game is hard
>>94819412An old regular hivefleet.
>>9481947340k is easier than it has ever been. At this point it's not the game's fault, it's you having severe brain damage.
I've never gone to a warhammer tournament, do they let you use old versions of minis if the base size is correct?
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>94819486No. They'll smash those miniatures with a hammer if you bring them to a tournament.
>>94818452Last repost of this thing, promise. Gonna get started on a metal dreadnought so I'll have new wips soon.
does the emperor even have a penis, theres no women his size to procreate with so what would he need it for?
>>94819481dogshit 10e rules are a clusterfuck and GW changes them every week now because tourniggers keep finding ways to break them.this game hasn't actually been made easier its just been sloppified
>>94819509It's a psychic projection. He isnt that huge. Yes, he has a dick. He has his sensei childen after all.
>>94819509The Emperor is actually a short king. He just psyshically projects a larger aura.
>>94819425>Does it have to be a fleet? Could just be an infectious splinter than nobody's able to fully eliminate.That's kinda what I meant, isn't that same as a hivefleet?Like a large-ish splinter that answers to itself and goes where it wants and doesn't answer to the regular hivemind. I just like the idea of tyranids who are the definition of "player 2 has entered the game" but for the tyranid faction.Also I like the diseased, mutated fucked up look they have.
>tfw kit can make an extra guy so you also as many bits as possible on him
>>94819493Well, it's not like there is anything else still in need of a refresh anymore
>>94819542Some people say Orks. An argument could be made for Tau.Definitely Grey Knights
>>9481929930 Arbites.
94819481shut the fuck upCUNT
>>94819570The GK infantry kits are so good though. All those bits and options... there's no way GW isn't gonna ruin it.
>>94819493I'd rather they squat them or shove them into a codex that includes all eldar. Ugliest faction in the game but I think a lot of it comes down to the very unappealing official schemes they have.
>>94819598>. Ugliest faction in the gameyou mean imperial guard
>>94819598> Ugliest faction in the game You mean space wolves and pre-updated blood angels.
space marines are shit
>>94819598>ugliest faction in the gameYou mean Craftworld Eldar
>>94819533Name that kit.
>>94819588I hope she sees this, bro
>>94819570Tau blueberries are full and finished, what else can be even added? Fire Warrior kit in particular is perfect, I don't know why would want anyone for GW to touch it, there is no way they will top it. They could get fleshed out Auxiliaries beyond Kroot and Vespid I guess, but battlesuitfags will seethe and don't even see it as an update to their armyOrks have fucked up new basic boyz kit and it's fucked up due to how monopose and nonmodular it is. This would not be fixed in potential 11edition starter set where models have to be simpleGrey Knights don't compete with Deldar for the 11th edition starter set enemy. Them being default Marine faction there would be weird. I think their refresh will still take timeHaemonculi Covens with Deldar mercenaries and monsters like Sslyth would be a good enemy for good guys that are Space Marines to face in 11th edition, just like Necrons and Tyranids were
>>94819374>We don't know.No, we know of that about herniatus, the guy currently on necromunda is a clone birthed by the malstrain patriarch, the original herniatus fled the planet after the initial fuckup, after he was corrupted and he was intercepted by the inquisition at some point afterwards
>>94819407what's in it?
>another xeno edition *yawn* Just give me my updated demons.
>>94819570Dunno why people keep saying orks, they are perfectly fine as they are
>>94819623Nah, they look much better. Boring but better.>>94819634Agree that space wolves look bad but not quite as horrid. BA are meh, like any other chapter>>94819640Craftworld eldar have far better official schemes and their units aren't all spiky things that break when exposed to a soft breeze. Dark eldar simply cant compete. Craftworlds are still gay though.
>>94819670sorry bro you're a sigma army first
>>94819670No, xenoschads keep winning
>Nids would work in a base building rts>Imperial guard would work in a battlefield like game>marines already have tons of suitable games>admechs have a game but it doesn't have their main shtick, the big tech, an rpg or something with vehicles and crafting might work>Necrons, I don't know, anything goes>don't know what fits Eldar or Deldar either>Tau would have a generic shooter with flying mechs, like anthem(if it worked)>Votaan, I wanted to say something like DRG but it honestly doesn't work for them>Chaos, something open and fun enough to make you feel as evil and chaotic as possible, maybe a sandbox game were you destroy shit as a marine, build engines as darkmech and command hordes of daemons as higher beings
>>94819649>What could Tau get?They could use new Crisis Suits.Agreed on orks though, their boyz kit looks good but is actually fucked up with how non-customizable it is. Huge misstep.Grey knights (IMO) either need to be pared down and the codex squatted (Just toss dreadknights, terminators, and strike squads into Agents) or need more or less a full refresh of the faction's models. Everything they have is the wrong scale or is just a shit model (Draigo)
>>94819649>This would not be fixed in potential 11edition starter set where models have to be simpleThat wasn't a limitation for termagants. We got the push fit kit in the starter set, and one which brought in more weapon options than they had even in their old kit.
>>94819500No, keep posting it. I absolutely adore your grog BAs
>>94819000Xitter tards seem to be forgetting that 40k is supposed to be a war setting and not a futuristic version of the Office

What's with those sick fucks that paint all of the chaos marines trim in NMM? How fucked would you have to be to put yourself through that
>>94819715why are you replying to it retard
>>94819715>firstbornThank you for proving my point.
>>94819718They probably only do it on display/one off minis. I don't think I've ever seen a full NMM csm army
>>94819649i kinda like how he has hi hand on his dead face like that for some reason
>>94819670Sorry. Not until they do chaos xenos first.
>>94819649who are the guys in the background? hemunculi acolytes? coven kabalites?
sex with xenos (they need human cock to survive)
>>94819634Man Space Wolves are phenomenal when done right, you crazy bruh!
if the nids can evolve and grow even when fighting themselves then why not keep making battles against each other and absorb the loser and take their genetic upgrades to keep advancing? As a matter of fact why do they need to battle or evolve as a reaction after fighting at all? Why not just always keep making better batchesLike why do they have to evolve mucus lubricated skin to block plasma after fighting the Tau and almost dying instead of already evolving everything they have including said mucus before any battle?
All xenos are men. They reproduce by cloning.
>>94819776Its just a toy game man...
>>94819670updated demons must happen solely because demons are an eyesoretoo bad nobody gives a fuck about demons enough to justify an update, let alone the two they would require to make a range of cyberdemons for 40k and one of normal demons for fantasy
>>94819787Nobody gives a fuck about eldar and they just got a 5 kit refresh
>>94819780>All xenos are men. They reproduce by raping female custodes FTFY
How soon are Wolves expected to get a bunch of upgraded models?
>>94819816few months after the launch of 11e

>>94818810that gold looks very good
>>94819868as soon as you give in and kitbash your own upscaled ones like me.
Squat every fucking chapter. Fold them all in under a singular Adeptus Astartes army. None of your speshul snowflakes are unique enough to warrant that much attention.
>>94819785it's a normal lore question man...there are many like it constantly being asked
>>94819896Of all the ritualposts, this one is my favorite.
>Guard lose a bunch of characters>But space wolves, blood angels, dark angels, etc. still have piles and piles of characterslmao
>>94820023because they're the protagonists and guard are NPCs made to die before marines show up and actually do something
>>94820028Actually anon, custodes are the new protagonists as well as titus so they might not even be long for this world.
>>94820034not entertaining your delusions
>>94820038Then why bother replying?
>>94820040
>>94820034Custodes exist to be jobbers who make a threat seem bigger so that whoever kills it looks even better by comparison.
>>94820049There's no way they'll beat the eldar in that regard, avatar is the jobber champ of all 40k.
>>94820055eldar dying doesn't make a threat look better it makes them look semi-competent
>>94820057Depends on the book really. Sometimes they're just there to make everyone else look much better.
>>94820023>the faction that sells the most has the most charactersI am shocked.
>>94820055Eldar are already beaten beyond repair, they no longer elicit the same feeling they used to when they die now. Everyone already expects the Avatar to get his shit smashed in any time he shows up.
Finished the backpack yesterday night. Now to add weathering to the whole thing and i can move to the Champion
>>94819868Grey Knights are going to get rolled into Agents like Deathwatch as they don't deserve their own codex.Hopefully Custodes join them too
>>94820072I love how he showed up in Forges of Mars just to get beaten up by a chaplain. Also love the part where the farseer tries to use his power to assist the black templars with fighting but they magically deny it or something.

>>94819776Same reason you don't train AIs on AI outputs, it causes drift from real world data.Also if it always had all adaptations it has access to, every biomorph would be ridiculously expensive to produce, losing unnecessary stuff is also a form of adaptation.
>>94820073nice and clean
>>94819128Could be new, could be old. If this is actual cannibalism by a rogue entity, it would be different from this, which is basically just glorified wargames. Either way, I'd bet that this never gets touched past the "recent reports suggest..." nonsense, GW needs to edge their followers over every possible plot hook whenever they have the time.
>>94819809that should tell you just how much less people care about demons
>>94819868draigo and dreadfulknight addon this edition full refresh next edition
>>94819809It was pretty funny watching the 'Eldar hype' die down basically overnight.
>>94815925Sure, you can look at it like that. By that logic, however, you're not meant to fear anything in a horror movie because it's just a flick to be watched at the local cinema while you stuff down popcorn and soda, both of which are overpriced. You must expand your mind to include the hypothetical or the abstract, and while you view it in this way you can still enjoy it for what it is. I'm not a "progressive" or anything, and I certainly don't want Warhammer to change its setting to be more tolerant/idpol/inclusive/etc because, in reality, no one should want to live under the yoke of the Imperium or the 40k universe at all. Anyone who says otherwise is either mentally unstable or mentally deficient. Now, you did quote "nightmarish" but I think you're being slightly disingenuous by not giving the entire sentence a bit of thought. Politics isn't only the action of government. It is also the study of government/the state and those institutions which we, the average citizen, prop up and expect certain things of. What do you see when you look at the Imperium? What do you think when you think of the Imperium? This isn't about the game or having fun. Let's assume, in some strange pocket dimension that has a weird The Truman Show-esque setup but way, way more and that we can process all of it, that the universe of 40k exists.
Spend all day thinking about buying more orks, but if I can just slap orks on space marine vehicles I already have why would I buy more orks? A roundabout train of thought.

>>94819128>Tyranids were once a force of nature that were driven by unknown and incomprehensible impetus controlled by a gestalt consciousness that could not be stopped, only slowed, and at great cost to those in the path of its ravenous hunger>The Tyranid Hive Mind actually has a personality and can feel higher emotions, with at least one being hate, and it really hates the Blood Angels and wants to specifically target Baal to wipe them out because it hates themIt would make very little sense for the latter to have cannibalism amongst its controlled subjects. I think of ants here with their colonies, and how they're driven by instinct which involves defense of the colony against even their own kind. If ants had a hive mind that stretched its control across the world, why would they cannibalize? What would make Colony 543367 attack and devour Colony 576433 if the ant hive mind had singular purpose and conditions were neutral? As in, there is no chance of hive mind contact disruption or lack of resources between the two aforementioned colonies.But an animal. Well, an animal reacts. We're all just reacting at all times.

>>94820280>What would make Colony 543367 attack and devour Colony 576433 if the ant hive mind had singular purpose and conditions were neutral?the two colonies aren't identical, the queen of each colony has its own genetic quirk and so do its creations, both genotypically and phenotypically.the hive mind allows this deviation on the gamble that one may prove more fruitful than another, but once a clear superiority has been established, and one fleet is deemed excessively underperforming, its constituents must be recycled and repurposed.
>>94820296I just want to see more haemunculi stuff, I think it's a very underdeveloped side of them and one with lots of potential for body horror and for elegant monstrosities.
How come most hive fleets aren’t intercepted before they reach planets? Are they simply too numerous, or are they actually competent at void battle?
>>94820289>eldar hype is organic: people rejoice about itgood bait
>2+ 4++is there anything less fun to play against?
>>94820318is there any part of 40k media that goes into detail about voidship fights?
>>94820318Too numerous and a lot of the time you don’t even know they’re coming. The warp gets fucked up and interstellar communication gets blacked out wherever they go.
>>94820280>Eldar seer gets a view of the Hive Mind>Sees it as a vast and impossibly large dragon in the Warp, all-consuming and oppressive>The Seer's mere thought of harnessing it diverts a portion of the Hive Mind's attention to her for a moment, essentially by reflex>The merest psychic glance from the Hive Mind physically knocks the seer out of her chair and causes her to vomit as she's bombarded by images of her own painful and horrific death a thousand different ways>The reverberation of the encounter rocks the entire Eldar fleet; Wraith constructs are stunned and staggered, ship systems falter and flicker, Eldar crews cower and scream in terror at the aftershocks after the Hive Mind turns back awayThen we get Marines cracking jokes about how they 'must have made the Hive Mind mad' as they smash Carnifexes to death with their hands.

>>94820296The DE refresh from 3rd to 5th was welcomed across the board. Unlike Necrons where they added a bunch of fluff, the new Raiders and models were really popular. I like DE and I expect GW to do a good job with them.

Why is chaos so passive
>>94820318Their ships individually aren't good at space fighting, but there's lots of them every time and each fight with them is a nightmare of boarding actions.Intercepting fleets in 40k in general isn't easy because most fleets travel either faster or near lightspeed or through a subdimension.Tyranids have the extra problem of shutting down communications around them with the shadow of the warp, so the only warning of them being somewhere is the fact you don't receive warnings from a certain place and the only sign of them being near you is the fact you can't reach outside to call for aid.If you tried to look for tyranid ships after they stopped travelling at hyperspeed (most 40k fleets stop traveling at those speeds either at the outskirts of a system or above a planet, it's inconsistent, especially in the timeframes involved after that) with conventional methods, such as radio signals or visual observations, you'd find the ships dormant, covered in a sheet of ice and generally inert, hard to identify as something other than a group of comets or asteroids.

We may not win a lot and have a lot of bad match ups but we're easy to paint, easy to build, fun to convert, they look great on the table, and have a ton of variety with what you can do color scheme wise with a lot of army building variation.
Friends, I'm gonna start playing 40k for the first time since I was in middle school. I want to play Black Templars and bought the Combat Patrol. That being said. can you help me build a 2,000 point army with the Combat Patrol in mind? I don't even know where to start at this point.

>>94820411Listen here, get Helbrecht and source the head on Grandmaser Voldus to put it on helbrecht's otherwise perfect sculpt.
>>94820309Okay, fair enough. However, would this not take a massive expenditure in resources that could better be used elsewhere? Let's say your hypothetical is correct and that is what needs to happen. Space, being vast, has the requirement of time to be crossed so that the hive fleet(s) may reach their destination. It is unlikely that they are anywhere near one another's vicinity and must travel many astronomical units to reach one another and then the conflict begins, with those resources used for both to arrive there essentially wasted. Would it not make more sense for an intelligent, all controlling entity that has the ability to direct these two separate entities towards a greater target and the 99.9% guaranteed acquisition of the lesser's biomass and the target's? With fewer losses for the Tyranids as well from having the force multiplier.

>>94820411Many tutorials on sloptube exist for this purpose. Marines can also be built in so many ways you need a specific idea you’re going for, lastly by the time you have 2k points ready the game will likely have changed. Get some dreadnoughts, land raiders, some tanks, and a bunch of dudes, and figure it out.>>94820437But the hivemind isn’t entirely rational. It’s hungry and darwinistic. Losing some biomass is fine since they can always repurpose what is lost and get more. They’ve already taken at least one galaxy.

>>94820379The 6th ed dark angels book was really cool. It was one of the first hardback books, full of super good color renditions of the the OG black and white art. And the games I played with my friend were all great. But I think I lost every game of 7th by like a landslide. Fearless melee was OP as sin in 7th Ed, and if you didn’t have ignores cover in your army you just could not win. I remember getting so fed up with I I actually bought a wraith knight, only to bring it for the first (and only) time the day my friend brought his casual death guard and I stopped him “literally lol”.

>>94819509I heard the emperor has big tits and big bazonders
>>94820437the thing about nids that most people misunderstand is that the two things they're after are genetics and biomass and the two things they expend are time and energyyou might think that an expenditure of energy is an expenditure of biomass, but it's not, they don't burn biomass in nuclear reactions, they use it in biological processes, which means that even the most burnt biomass they can reprocess back into a biologically active and charged substance as soon as they get nearby a sun to kickstart the photosynthetic processes, they're a moving ecosystem, they're not going to run out of resources when they do stuffbut you're right that they don't waste time chasing one another, the cannibalism seems to happen when the fleets happen to encounter one another, it doesn't seem like they move halfway across the galaxy to go at each other's tendrils

>>94820411I don't like 10th edition much but I'd suggest buying the rest of the available models in the Black Templars range. You really can't make any bad picks then. You'll definitely want another Crusader Squad as well.Take a look at which units the Black Templars characters can lead and buy some of those too.Once you have this core of your army, it all comes down to personal preference. Space Marines have so many units and as another anon said, by the time you're done with the ones you already have, what's "meta" most likely won't be meta anymore. However, in general you'll want at least one dedicated Anti-Tank unit, but preferably two. Usually these units will also be vehicles.
>>94820411Have you considered 2000 points of dreadnoughts

Sometimes I am asked, like today, if I can fill in and teach a newer player how to play. The shop manager often isn't happy when I inevitably crush my fledgling opponent. But the way I see it is simple:If he fails against me, he can take what he learned from the battle and apply his knowledge to the next,If he succeeds against me, he does not need to be taught.

Models would be nice too, but I have zero faith in GW not fucking that up. I have ~1000 points of covens and I have no intention of getting more unless the new models and rules are extremely good.

>>94820790>Well in the long run, a glass display will save you time and money on cans, and I don't think just compressed air will be enough get dust out of all the crannies anyway. You just want to be sure that the door is dustproof (with added strips) too. It seems from examples that the Hogbo double doors can have significant gap between.
Is tonight the reveals or tomorrow?
Is it true female commissars pursue sexual relations with their Ogryn bodyguards?
>>94820941yes
>>94820936What kinda strips are we talking about? Rubber like around a door?
>>94820941do you live in the first world or in the other first world?
>>94820960The first first world
>>94820941Tonight if you live East of New York City.Tomorrow if you live West of NYC
>>94820945Female Commissars are made to read 'Of Mice and Men' so they know Ogryns can snap their necks without trying if they think anything funny.
>>94820945no, but it's true for male commissars
>>94820975thanks
>>94818452Painted a test model for my new all Catachan army now that GW confirmed they'e sticking around.Gonna do mass infantry + mass Ogryns so I'm keeping the scheme simple.
>>94821080Good looking gent. Is that third party? I don't recognize that head
>>94820959Yeah, rubber, foam, brush. There's different kinds of strips that you can get for the same function. But it's something that can be done later if you see that it's a problem.
>>94821088No this is literally all from the Catachan command squad box, honestly for being old they still look great as long as you can paint them decently. I do not regret my decision to buy them all up before GW gets rid of the old kits.
>>94821080Luckily for everyone they're sticking around. They're the best IG force.
>>94820828The bolter is part of the Trinity, you could just give them Nemesis bolters
>>94821099Gotcha, yeah I haven't built my command squad yet (other than bumming the doc for a Necromunda campaign). I wish I could find a pic of my Catachans, but they probably need to be gone over anyway
>>94821080Btw for anyone who is thinking of getting Catachans and are worried about how they scale with the newer models, surprisingly they actually scale really well. Here they are with a bunch of old models I painted when I was 11 and the new Cadians.
Reposting all the official Space Marine characters for novelist tryouts
>>94821226And here's all the xenos options
>>94820909>>94820898>>94820894>>94820863Ahem, comrades https://transfiles.ru/pn0yc
I keep buying infantry instead of vehicles. Most armies seem to have lots of monsters or vehicles but I like all the little guys running around like a real army. Impguard armies that are just 10 tanks look weird.>>94820219But what if I just get some coke bottles and a box of cardboard and call it a battlewagon instead?
I understand in theory, but GW should let me put more Nurglings in my Deathguard list.
>>94821226>>94821233What about for Chaos and the other Imperial factions?
>>94820909Holy shit I didn't even know this existed>>94821234Thank you anon you are a godsend
>>94821233Too many xenos characters. Choose half and squat them
>>94821300squatting all the eldar
>>94821226Yet guard who have been cut down to three regiments loses characters for two of them. I think that's just a bit of a shame.
>>94821234FRAK YEAH! Thank you very much
>>94821234>transfilesnice try, but you will never steal my genitals, barracko barner
>>94821234aww yess
can necrons alter souls like the deldar or is it impossible because it requires psychic powers too?
Weren't there several Eldar players who used to post their stuff here?Did they leave or did I just imagine them?
>>94821351they are currently studying soulsnot with too much success though
>>94821359They got sho twith a plasmacannon and alldied
>>94821359>Weren't there several Eldar players who used to post their stuff here?No lmaowe have one yellow eldar guy who shows up every few months and one teal eldarfag who disappeared and then two deldarfags only discernible by the fact that one of them autistically brags about never basing his models
>>94821280Daemons should get the same rule. Let me ally some berzerkers with my bloodletters James
>>94821362Ill give em time, they can do crazy shit
>>94821359Theres a yellow eldaranon and a purple eldar anon as well as the anti basing eldaranon
>>94821359with how much this general shits on eldar I wouldn't blame them for leaving lol
>>94821359I have an unpainted Jain Zar if that qualifies.
>>94821413it's not just this general that hates eldarfags lmao
Where can I watch The Tithes without giving money to GW?
>>94821280just put some Nurglings on the shoulders of your deathguard
>>94821434Not really worth watching honestly
>>94821440Imperial guard one was ok. Rest require brain turn off.
>>94821440first episode wrapping up sa'kan's story from pariah nexus the only one worth watching
>>94821359I have a ton of Craftworld stuff but I'm too lazy to take it out of its carrying case.
>>94821482>wicked brick display caseI've been eyeing those for quite a while. What's your verdict?
>>94821234Do any of you niggas have Jes Goodwin’s Chaos sketchbook?
Hows my first ever coils looking?
>>94821234Thanks a million anon. Been hunting that one for a long while.
>>94821496Looking good.
>>94821496Keep up the good work anon
>>94821496I'm sorry, but that chain at the bottom looks like a turd in a process of shitting
>>94821522The rest is pretty cool tho
Wouldn't it be a frequent problems if Dark Eldar abduct people to Commorragh and subject them to torture that one of the humans turns out to be a psyker of notable power? Seems like a major risk.
>>94821508>>94821514Thanks guys>>94821522Kek, in fairness i havent done any work on it yet.
>>94821496I don't know if that's supposed to be OSL or if it's just overspill but I'd clean those parts next to the thingy. Actual coil looks pretty cool though
>>94821539It is supposed to be a little osl yes.
>the custodes numbers are running low>Hey Cawl/random high level scienceman, wave your magic space technology wand and adapt the custodes process to women to boost numbers >They do exactly that >Now there can be femstodesWhy didn't GW just do this instead of this "they always existed" nonsense?Its a perfectly acceptable explanation
>>94821467>wrapping upnot any more than the last episode of his serieshe's still got to confront szeras
>>94821527They are very, very good at disabling psykers as it turns out. They have skull cages that reflect all their psychic projections back inwards called the helm of spite or something. They also keep nulls in cages around especially vulnerable areas.
>>94821487As someone who is also into scale modeling, they are worth every penny. Quality display cases for 30-40$ is an absolute god send. I highly recommend them. The only downside is their shipping is expensive as hell to the US so sign up for their newsletter and wait for a sale. They have 30% off sales every once in a while, and very rarely they'll have a free shipping sale.
We out here with the Primarchs of Lithuaniahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZDVtq70mUo
>>94821551It doesn't have enough transparency to work as OSL I'm afraid, you either need to go much brighter with the centre of the coils or you need to at least clean the yellow off, at the moment it looks more like the coils are melting the casing of the gun, rather than light dissipating.
>>94821413And yet Sallyanon and the DCsloppa haven’t left.
>>94821562>>the custodes numbers are running lownot true, so you need a fuckup out of the gate>>Hey Cawl/random high level sciencemanmaking someone even more of a mary sue isn't good>>Now there can be femstodesfemstodes are the problem, not how you get to theminstead of having one problem, now you have 3
>>94821596wrong on every point, disregarding your entire post, tourist
>>94821527The Imperium already goes to a hell of a lot of effort to root out its own psykers and make the active ones very obvious to everyone else. You think dark eldar aren't also gonna check themselves and have better means to do so?
>>94821601keep projecting, maybe one day you will fool someone into thinking you're bright
>>94821562Because for as retarded as GW are, they still aren't as retarded as (>you).
>>94821609sorry your brazilian bait got wimmen added :(
>>94821596>>94821609You'd be more believable if you didn't just throw around buzzwords with no understanding of them whatsoever
>>94821596>>>the custodes numbers are running low>not true, so you need a fuckup out of the gateMy proposal is hypothetical you idiot GW could easily conjure up a situation in a galaxy full of war where the custodes numbers run low without breaking any canon
>>94821613nta where are the brothers of silence to balance shit out?
>>94821639They could also do the smart thing and relegate women to overtly sexualized designs, yet here we are.
>>94821639And your solution is to have them die by the thousands in the few years they have been deployed out of the imperial palace.You're asking to make the custodes laughably incompetent to justify adding women to them.Adding such a fuckup is worse than saying they've always been there.
>>94821666cuckstodes are already laughably incompetent and shouldn't be in the setting as anything but set dressing for the palace
why is space marine discourse so faggoty? why do people get so mad when space marines die?why do people hate when space marines win
>>94821663I'm doing this from an assumption femstodes were happening no matter what, just trying to make it less shitty>>94821666>And your solution is to have them die by the thousands in the few years they have been deployed out of the imperial palaceYep. Do you even understand the IP you involved with here? This would be the easy part
>>94821682I'm not surprised that behind a femstodes apologist there is simply someone hateful towards 40k.
>>94821685Posterboy syndrome.
>>94821685>why do people hate when space marines wincontrarians picking the designated loser factions and get made when their factions lose
the next custodes kit will have one female head option on the sprue and all the chuds and grifters who have never painted a single custode model will lose their minds all over again
>>94821666>Some crazy tyranid invasion happens and the custodes have to be deployed to stop them from getting to terra, and thousands of them are sacrificed in an ultimately success suicide mission to stop them>Now they need to pump up the numbersTook me 5 seconds you dipshit
>>94821693What if I like 40K and don’t find anything wrong with femstodes?>>94821701It deeply saddens me you’re right.
>>94821685could a tau really pull this off?
>>94821663Mhmmmm nyoInstances of eroticism in 40k should be only be around when combined with disturbing elements, like SoB or Daemonettes.
>>94821639Your proposal is fucking dog brain retarded because it's predicated on the concept that potential recruits are the limiting factor. Do you think there aren't enough boys on fucking terra for the custodes? That there'd be a billion custodes if earth wasn't so bereft of available males?
>>94821689>>94821705It doesn't matter what you propose, it's against their characterisation to die in such numbers.They're not guardsmen, they're not marines, they're not the only army in the imperium, they don't deploy on suicide missions or heroic last stands.You'd need terra to get torn in half before you have such a massive loss of custodes in such a short period of time, and if you need an event so catastrophic why the fuck are you pretending this is any less invasive than a retcon?
>>94821718they only accept from noble families, not the dredges composing 99.99999% of the population of terra
>>94821738>NO NO NO MY GOLDEN BOYS ARE TOO SPESHUL TO DIE EN MASSEcry about it, tourist
>>94821587Oh well, Ill keep in mind for next time. I really like the effect irl so I dont wanna mess up with it anymore. God I love how this eye turned out. This model is gonna end up having SO many different painting details on it its kinda crazy.
remember when blood angels threatned custodians and managed to get away with it
>>94821748That's literally how they're written.Now you want to pretend they're written differently so that you could further change them and you dare calling anyone else a tourist? fuck off and go infest some other game.
>>94821738>they don't deploy on suicide missions or heroic last stands>GW conures up situation where nobody else is available or is simply not enoughNow they doSee how easy that was
>>94821776post your models
>>94821777>Now they dothen why not just have the women be there from the beginning, there was no femstodes now they do
WHat's the next Ork kit I should get once I finish these 10 snaggas and the Trukk?
Surely the Custodes reserved some kind of cloning tech for themselves. If they're supposed to be the Emperor's pals they're not really replaceable, you can't just go recruit a new one can you?
>>94821771bangels have murked inquisitors on hospital ships full of incapacitated guardsmen (and murked the guardsmen too) and gotten away with it
>>94821794Warbikers
>>94821771first founding chapters have special privileges
>>94821794Ghazkull is one of the best 40k kits period. Just make sure to build the alternative pose.
>>94821710Apparently ethereals are pretty good with swords? I think they used to have a decent profile for it in the game at least.
>>94818452Just finished this guy.I tried to "speed paint" by dry brushing and glazing the armor but I couldn't help myself by trying to do some feathering and edge highlights.I tried out something different with the base. Normally I just glue the snow on and call it a day but this time I tried to mix in a bit of watered down brown paint on the edges to make it look like the mud was mixing in with the snow. Then added drops of super glue over some parts because I have seen other painters do it for a more "melting" effect.A lot of rough spots but overall I'm pretty happy with it.
>>94821792Because the farther back in the canon you the more issues there are, and it's simply not necessary to go that far backIt can easily be a "recent" thing
>>94821710Aun'Shi was basically a ninja turtle
>>94821816kino
>>94821792because it wasn't written that way and neckbeards would cry even more about retcons. stop making bad faith arguments
>>94821838>it wasn't written that way>custodes aren't written to die en masse>just write them that way so you can add femstodesok
>>94821828>Randomly name-dropping a shitposter because you've seen their name around recentlyPathetic
>>94821710No. The Marine in that picture is pretty much not going to be slowed down at all, and that Tau is about to get bisected. The art was only made because some faggot was mad at the fact Marines are the protagonist faction of 40k.
>>94821846>>custodes aren't written to die en masseThey literally did during the horus heresyShit can happen again
do you think GW will toe the line like all the other soulless corps and silently abandon representashun to appease the now right-wing american market?
>>94821828What Regiment?
>>94821785Nta but I'll post my custodes. The femstodes drama has got to be one of the lamest debacles in recent memory
>>94821863Drill that barrel, soldier. Good stuff otherwise.>>94821873Love that massive flamer, where is it from?
>>94821861So next time it happens will it be because of Orks or Tyranids?
>>94821846>Muh characters can never have a change in their situation in a horrific universe full of constant warok
>>94821885>>Muh characters can never have a change in their situation in a horrific universe full of constant war>The change is that they now have womenHow very exciting
>>94821777>a situation where nobody else is available >at Terra's footsteps, the most heavily defended system of the galaxy You're going from retarded to worse, choose a different hill to die upon.
5 hours left until the big revealPost your predictions
>>94821898why haven't you posted custodes?
>>94821902is there going to be anything beyond the silhouettes we've seen already?
>>9482190240k Skaven
>>94821905I don't play that dogshit faction They shouldn't even be in the game
>>94821838some trog like mike brooks on dakka or gavino thorponcini already spilled the beans about the miniature, so that's going to happen regardless
>>94821910>you can only defend that faction from shitty retcons if you play that faction>btw no I don't need to play that faction to defend shitty retcons thrown at them, in fact I hate that faction
>>94821942Yes, correct
>>94821910What is this, a based opinion?
>>94821816Very nice anon
>>94821921Don’t be a shithead. Won’t get posts nuked.
>>94821942Nobody should be able to play the faction at all, it shouldn't be in the gameSo who gives a fuck about shitty retcons for a squatbait faction of shinier marines cosplaying as eldar with their retarded cone helmets
mommy how come girls get to have sob, sos, and femcustards while boys just get marines and male custards? where are all the brothers of silence?
>>94821956>not a shithead>models not nukedMath checks out.
>>94821201The face on that catachan turned out quite nice
>>94821956Being a shithead is my god-given right, and so is posting models.
>>94821956>Don’t be a shitheadIn what way did those posts do this?
>>94821956they were just bickering, a lot of much worse shitposting does not get deleted
What army do introverts pick.
eldar have a wealth of classic concept art
>>94821998>slop
>>94821994nids or craftworld eldar
>>94821994Ones with girls in it.
>>94821994>what army The guard every time.
>>94819299Maybe grab a necromunda gang and make more jabronis for fun?
>>94821877>Love that massive flamer, where is it from?It's a heresy FW model. They have rules in 40k but they aren't very good. I just like the models. This guy is a recast and it's got to be the highest quality cast I've ever seen. The caster even put the model on a sprue, which I have never seen before with resin models.
>>94821998
>>94821994admech, thousand sons, necronsaka, the robo femboy triad
>>94822023forgor picture of sprue
>>94818394>TQMilitarum Tempestus. They're mortal men pushed to the limit of humanity, and their lore all ends with "and then they died to a man so someone else can get the glory."
>>94822030Every 1k sons player I know is a fatfuck
>>94822033>full resin sprueIm surprised thats how units come, ive only bought resin dreads and big stuff from fw and you always get them on the big chunks of resin
>>94822030What the fuck those are actually factions I have minis from, are you psychic
>>94822033BMM or somebody else?
>>94822057you met the ones that weren't true introverts, just sperg outcasts
>>94822057No, that's Sisters of Battle.
>>94821907It'd be pretty bold to waste everyone's time with a reveal show that only shows 5 new models, but the previews have been consistently terrible for a while now so its what I'd expect.
>>94822084>are you psychicyes, I can also judge someone's ass by their paintjob, try me
>>94818452Zenithal spray, contrast for base coats, light highlighting, texture basing. Gets models done really fast, and at arms length they look fantastic. Up close they're ass, but who cares about that?
>>94822138as long as they bring edmund eccles and adam stroke it's gonna be a jolly good time
