If given the option I would have a musou game where you play as chaos space marines and you kill guardsmen and sisters and loyalists and stuff and maybe also xenos but honestly I don'tcare much about xenos. It would be cool and really flashy and you'd get to play as marines from the legions and also some of the warbands. It would also be fun

Votann feels like it needs a smaller tank and smaller transport from the current offering.
As for infantry options.... It feels like they're filling it out in a backdoor way with the Killteam kits.

As for Armies I play?
Marines we all know are going to get an Assault Terminator kit at somepoint point so thats nothing.
As for my Guard? I'd enjoy the option for a Shotgun/melee weapon close combat troop...which is probably just the new Death Korp engineers.
>>
>>94831209
But the kill teams are just Yaegers and Warriors.
>>
>>94831182
My bet is a Killteam kit and a character.

I was reading Sons of the Hydra (nice book btw, it's been a long time since I enjoyed reading something from BL) and I realized for the first time that AL usually are not very mutated like the other chaos legions. Is there a reason for that? Even unaligned legions like Night Lords sometimes become massive blobs, the guys from First Claw in the NL trilogy got some pretty bad cases. Or is just me? I had a hard time finding mutated AL art/minis, most of their models looks like from HH era.

Need some quick opinions on this armor.
On the left you can see all the highlights so far, how's it looking? I quite like it.

Im mainly wondering if I should add the final white highlight, seen middle (i tried it out on the back leg where it wouldnt really be visible) and you can see on the OG marine how it'd look.
Im a little worried the white might make the night lord seem a bit too "bright" but at the same time I think the marine armor looks awesome with the white. Thoughts?
>>
>>94831401
A model 10 is funnier, but yeah, glock 17, ear protection and a few box of ammo
>>
>>94831409
This fucking sucks
>>
>>94831326
Depends. Do you already own a gun for what I presume is self defense and if yes then invest in a World Eaters Army. You'll probably be happier with your Warhammer 40k hobby side investment if you're into the miniature painting hobby than investing in something only to see the investment fail.

got one of those players at the LGS who hypes up 40k as a whole way too much, he got into it last year

the type to go "thats cool" and collect an army of it or at least attempt to
(benefit of the doubt: he does at least TRY to paint his models, more than most at the LGS)
but you can tell he's the type of person to get all his lore from reddit or youtube videos, and he cant even pronounce "astra militarum" right (calls it "astra militarus")

he told me yesterday that he wanted to start collecting carchaodons, and he was insinuating that he was going to buy an ENTIRE khorne berzerkers box just for the chainaxes
he's also frankenstiened a baneblade (even though he's only been into it a few months, he already owns one) because he built it as a shadowsword but wanted to use the baneblade turret too, he never asked anyone to help do it correctly, so he slapped a bunch of armour plates on the bottom so it (somewhat) sits in place on top of the hole where the shadowsword turret is taken off (the hull piece with the hull mounted heavy bolters is glued onto the tracks)

i'm concerned because that's the type of person GW takes advantage of, I was guillable like that once so I can see the signs

Sneaky guys who infiltrate local governments pretending to be loyalists while getting their agents into the local guard so they can undermine the planet from within would not benefit from le hecking mutations. It's perhaps a flaw of 40k that the daemons never try to hide themselves instead of just sharting freaks everywhere.

1. Most people playing casually or even competitively don't know and don't give a shit about the ins-and-outs of your army. They can't tell your models apart. Who's the unit champion? Is that a heavy flamer, or a flamer? It doesn't really matter. Just tell them who's who and it's fine, as long as you're not substituting a Land Raider with a shoe box.
2. It's in the spirit of the hobby to customize your dudes. They're your dudes after all.

Thanks to his gullibility you get to enjoy 40k, assuming you enjoy 40k that is.
I friend I introduced 40k into told two of her friends, who immediately went to their local Warhammer store and bought the Ultimate Starter Set, shittons of paints and brushes, a water cup and so on with 0 market research. They have money but it's just wild to me that they buy stuff in an instant. I'm probably just too poor to make such purchases and just complaining.

Gonna order a 44x60 mat soon but not sure if I should grab a PVC or a mousepad one. PVC seems sturdy and easy to clean, while mousepad is soft and comfy but might be a bitch to clean. PVC is also cheaper.

Thank you. I only did warpstone on them so far, I’ve only recently come around to 3 colour highlights to brighten things up more since I did my tau and crusader squad. I think my best actual mini so far is the newest “Vulkan” I’ve done, the sword brother kitbash.
>>94831644
Oh wow. Brighter really is better. The problem I’ve been having is now it takes like 3 times longer to finish things. Though I’ve been going back and touching up older stuff when I can. Going hog wild with freehand hasn’t helped that.

Overall dirt and mostly spillage. My LGS has PVC mats and I think it's good enough.

none of those lend themselves to a distinct silhouette in the way that the iconic helmet design and bloated armor of World Eaters/Thousand Sons and Death Guard respectively do
>>
>>94831617
No, they're lackluster sculpts for a boring army that didn't need to be implemented
be excited for them to have even less players than Tsons and WE because their roster is even more barren but they don't even get the benefit of having cool looking dudes in it

Here's the finished armor + the text on the gun. The white looks sick but fuck me is it so annoying when the paint dries before I even lift it off the wet pallete and it just wont come off the bristles. That's how I messed up the "e" on the gun there, stupid black paint just wouldnt cooperate.

Tomorrow I got some plasticard coming in from amazon, but ill be out so Ill see if I can get the white marble base done sunday. Hopefully it wont be too annoying without an airbrush. Its just lightning, basing, and other effects like blood splatters and stuff left. God if It takes me this long to paint one guy ill be working on this kt all of 2025. Hopefully the next ones go a little faster.

It depends on the store, if it's an offical warhammer shop then it will depend on the manager. I've visited a very strict store where the guy said if the model isn't 80-90% GW then you might be going home without a game, or at the least you'll have to store them away out of sight.

If it's your FLGS or club then you'll usually be fine.

Is there an up to date guide on what the best way to get into each faction would be, which models/product to buy first for your army and options to expand from there, and such?

Eldar sell great, Dark Eldar sell great, Chaos of all flavors sells great, everything with "Warhammer" on it sells fantastically, and this has been the trend for almost a decade now, so I'm betting that these EC minis are going to sell fantastically as well.

So here's the general gist of it. The first thing you need to do is pick an angle from which light will hit your model. This can be any angle, but i recommend doing one for the front of the model, and one from the back of the model, so that way light hits it all over. Once you have your light angle figured out, next you gotta figure out where the light hits the shapes of your model. Imagine this cylinder as the leg of the model right, The black bar is where the light hits the cylinder most.
With that line determined, you pick your colors. Start from darkest you have and go up from there. What you do is try to draw as thin lines as you can and do a sort of triangular shape, angled towards the top where the light is hitting most. Try to keep the lines in that triangular shape, but dont worry if they look sketchy since that's the point.
Then repeat that a few times, each time making the initial "triangle" smaller and smaller within the previous layer. Then when you feel like you're done, you can do two very very thin lines of white, one going along the edge where the light hits, and one going very slightly down (across where the line of light initially hit)

Thats how it works for a cylinder, but the same should apply for all sorts of shapes. Keep in mind that the "triangle" doesnt always face Up, it faces towards the most prominent edge that you're trying to highlight. (you can see for example on my model with the hand, the two triangles on the forearm and bicep are angled towards the hand, to the left)

For things like your cloth, I imagine that your light wont hit in a straight line necesarily, so your triangle might look more "wavy". I cant say for sure, since I havent tried this method on non-armor materials.

Goodluck, hope it helps.

You mean generic compliant marines or the snowflake chapters? The former don't seem to have much reason to play them over the more specialist chapters unless you just like the ultramarine characters
Tyranids depend on how pronounced the whole swarm thing is with them nowadays because painting the same identical little shitters dozens and dozens of times with no variation sounds like it'd get old.

Just play Guard, the only reason they get memed on is because you have to paint a lot. Why are you even bothering to get into this game if you aren't going to play what you actually want.

The only actual unironically bad faction to start as is Admech. Insanely expensive as fuck, annoying to paint, fragile hard to transport models and your reward for that? Garbage boring rules and complete abandonment by GW
>>
>>94832191
This guy's got it right. You can reduce a model to all sorts of basic shapes to determine how light ought to hit them, that way you can use that to really bring out parts of the model, it's also more interesting than having to highlight everything.

>>
>>94832215

I will say guard does benefit from having a "standy" models that will never be bad on the table.

Like you'll never not have a use for guardsmen and battle tanks

While with something like space marines any unit could change from "useful" to "garbage" in one update.

Is there any single non-character unit that's been at least decent across multiple editions

Thats merely warp light affecting the battlefield. Its natural for your models to have different lighting compared to your opponent's

>how much time does it take to properly align a unit on table to make sure theyre all positioned lighting accurate
Well if you paint them all the same lighting angle, shouldnt be an issue. (but you shouldnt do that, try to find your model's "Golden angle" for perfect lighting)

>WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IF THE MODLED FABRICS ARE BLOWING IN CONFLICTING DIRECTIONS AAAAAAHHHHHH
That doesnt seem like a problem? Light hits from the same direction, so the cloths will be shaded and lit the same way

Oh, huh.

>>

yes. It's called CAD and the totally organic posters of these shill threads will never admit they just copy-pasted primaris files onto the 3D model of this one. Also a noise champion without the sword is shit. The best part was the face design and the sword.

>>94832313
Thats not what heroic scale means, it just mean they have big and easy to sculpt and paint heads and hands and are all built different. Not that they have nlips.

32mm bases on mini-marines was a psyop to make them look even more rediculous next to primaris when they launched 3 years later. Btw, that beaky is mounted on a 28.5mm base, they look really bad on 32mm.

Usually the poses aren't actually repeated though. There's different proportions and other differences. Looking at the comparison of the assault intercessors and berserkers for instance I can see that the angles of the legs and toros are all different.
You're missing a lot of minor variation in the poses because they have the same leg raised is seems.

I get why GW gave EC coneheads (same reason why the Yncarne looks like it does), but aren't CSM also human supremacists like regular SM?

Its a guess, because for DE to hit the battle box they will need some form of line trooper, of which none of their units remain in finecast (or gone lol). So unless its something new, I predict they will resculpt one of those. I could also see a trueborn or bloodbride kit. They redid eldar guardians when no one expected it.

The launch boxes are almost always 100% brand new kits, so I dont expect wracks to make it in.

If you compare their chapter organization to the UM one, it's nigh identical.
>DA
>The organisation, tactics and roles of these new ‘Chapters’ were defined in a hugely influential work known as the Codex Astartes, written by Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines. / Some initially fought against the splitting of the Legions, such as Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, but the Dark Angels acquiesced, as doing otherwise would raise suspicion at a time when they could ill afford further scrutiny
>As per the Codex Astartes, Unforgiven Chapters are made up of ten companies.
>While the Codex Astartes’ mandates concerning organisation and size are followed in companies three through ten, the first two companies – in the case of the Dark Angels, the Deathwing and Ravenwing – are unique, and rumours persist that they do not conform to the standard company complement of a hundred Space Marines.

>With the exception of their two specialist companies, the Dark Angels fight as a Codex Astartes Chapter.
So their 1st company is all terminators (which in a codex chapter is already where all the terminators are) and 2nd is all mounted. That's about the extend of their divergence on the face of it.

I'm talking about when BA and DA got a ton of kits to fill an entire codex of their own. Now they're cutting back on the kits and turning various units into just different coloured units, like they used to be. I wouldn't mind if they made SW back into a codex adherent chapter like they used to be.

fuckin lovely

>Laziness
That’s the worst part about it. While we no longer needed the multi-build Furioso kit now that the Brutalis exists, a little librarian dreadnought upgrade kit for the Brutalis could have been made and wouldn’t have been that much effort. GW didn’t bother.

See how I said, "I wouldn't mind". As in, "I'd be ok with it, if they did it." Nowhere did I say, "they should do this." Nor have I said the cutting back is universal across all codexes, just an observation of what's happening and contrasting it to what has been. You are getting mad over nothing.

Canonically Sisters of Silence very likely smell bad. Being a pariah tends to manifest in unflattering ways, either just in personality or, frequently, in appearing like body odor. The most famous example being Gunner Jurgen who everyone describes as being smell and Rakel being so disgusted by him that she has epileptic fits in his presence.

It's not copium.
DEldar are just not gonna appear in a starter box because they are too niche.
Orks are more popular and sell better so it makes sense for GW to use them, especially considering that orks are still yet to get a proper version of the new boyz kit that isn't monoposed to shit
>>
>>94834006
Imagine the smell

i want to collect all armies

why do you people type out deldar as DELdar. stop it.
>>
>>94834070
I write it like DEldar so it gets across what their inclusion in 40k will always be. DEI
>>
>>94834035
DE are not less popular than orks. And orks got huge refresh in 2021. It aint happening.
>>
>>94834081
>DE are not less popular than orks
they are, both flavors of eldar are the least popular xenos other than votann

>>94833322
I actually prefer the 3rd ED Cadians to the nuCadians because I think the chunky heroic scale is cute.
But I'm not about to pay that much money. I'd rather find a high quality scan of the models for printing instead.
I can't find them. It is always the marines that get the best scans.

Look, orks are way more popular than DE. But I agree, us ork bros aren't getting a refresh in 11th. We don't fuckin need one, they just replaced the 2nd last resin kit we had (tankbustas), and the only model (not even a squad) that needs a refresh is the weirdboy as it's still resin. The big mek with sag has been around forever but it's fine as it is, same with the classic boyz, they are old as fuck but there isn't anything wrong with them
>>
>>94834146
>they are old as fuck but there isn't anything wrong with them
Except their posing is shit especially because they have lumbar lordosis so bad that they make an instagram whore model look normal.
>>
>>94834167
You can't get rid of that though. That's what makes orks orks. If they are going to get rid of the old boyz they might as well make the newer kit so we can take all sluggas or shootas and make them posable, none of this monopose shit
>>
>>94834193
the butt hunch is a midhammer phenomenon only
the OG orks didn't have it and all the other new orks already got rid of that and look much better for it

Could thousand sons use warp ghosts

we're still waiting on their chaos warriors 2.5 update with actual multipart assembly so those don't count
>>
>>94834210
Aos just managed to reconfigure the sprues for the skeletons to make them into an easy to build kit. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 40k team does something to the new orks so they aren’t shit. The 40k team would need to care though.
>>
>>94834210
I would've tolerated it if shootas were actually usable, they might be OK in the new detachment but I doubt it
