>>94853416
Chronomancy is a psychic discipline. A powerful psyker like Ahriman has more mastery over time than any average cryptek. The Thousand Sons have a sub-group dedicated to time travel. The Cult of Time. AS powerful psykers, the Aeldari can manipulate time. Their scrying of the future is an aspect of it.

they got chaos players to totally rebuy their army this way, and it's not like they weren't adding new units pre-primaris, so I yea, seems like it was mostly moot. I think redditors love it though, and the constant controversy increases the amount people talk about 40k, so it was probably a win overall.

Wrong. We know they're getting a Ynnari detachment and we know they're getting a Farseer/Warlock focused detachment, which will have something like Fate Dice.
The army rule will be Battle Focus, which sounds like it'll help Eldar be a highly mobile positioning-oriented army.

A Dark Eldar Haemonculus becomes intrigued the Flayer virus and makes a specialized, highly contagious version that causes profound changes to their necrodermis and inspires within its victims certain carnal desires that are at once similar but profoundly different to the Flayed Ones' current obsession with eating, and the Necron Empire collapses into an orgy no less profound and violent than the one that birthed Slaanesh.

TS unfortunately has the shortest end of the stick. I think Magnus suffers a bit from being the earliest made Daemon Primarch sculpt. He’s a little too chunky and awkward looking imo. The lore also really shafts TS unit variety and GWs bizzare insistence on astroturfing Tzaangors is always strange to me. The army has the smallest unit selection and a limited design space to operate in, though Rubric Marines fuck.

Eight bound are also the worst chaos unit GW has made in years.

Sorry if reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. GW has used Tzaangors for box fillers in almost every TSons box. GW has created an entire upgrade sprue for Tzaangors to justify their inclusion in 40K, GW had them feature in Space Marine 2 over things that would make more sense like Tzeentch corrupted cultists, GW created an entire TSons army of renown just for running Tzaangors hordes. All while the fanbase mostly complains about it.

So what are some actual accounts of horrible things Dark Eldar do that either led to the fall or that they do to their victims (other than grotesques/talon pain engines)?

>again this is warp stuff, not tech
Dark Eldar don't use warp stuff, psychic shit is forbidden, they are 100% tech guys. Craftworlders technology is psychic anyway.
>how?
NTA but that's how Haeomonculli rolls, they are masters of arts and reverse engineering, modifying and weponising plague is their bred and butter, as matter of fact some DEldar artist created plague that turned organic matter into glass, he did it to make realistic sculpts(by turning other into glass lol), of course plague had "little" outbreak and it was haeomonculli who contained it and later used it for sniper rifle ammo because why not.

Yes, but Chaos don't play by the rules. Lucius was killed by Necron, and then Necron turned into Lucius.

Used warhammer prices.. how much is too much for you guys?

To be specific: I want a Valkyrie. New from a hobby store with GW discount, it would cost me 58€.
On ebay, from my country, the cheapest ones are in pic related state (i.e. assembled and mostly basecoated) for 49€. "propainted" ones cost retail price +20% and unironically well painted ones cost way more obviously.

I feel like this is too much, and i would rather buy a new kit, even tho i could save like 10-12€ (maybe 15 if i spend some time and look extra hard).

But are people really paying those prices?

The shamans using bows and arrows was a travesty and they should have had a gun upgrade or stuck with psyker magic. Upgrade sprue was good and part of not half-assing the implementation like shamans.

The release of EC is cool and unique. It's exactly in line with fabius and the most iconic piece of slaanesh marine art. Unblinking black eyes, microphone cover on mouth, screaming faces and speakers on armor. You can also lean into other sensations like vampire bat heads for increased sound and smell.

It’s odd to me. It seems in the last few years there has been tons of card game refugees who try to play tabletop and then realize it isn’t for them only to try to hoist their models for a hefty markup thinking that they can ROI every hobby. It’s been increasingly hard to find good deals on the secondhand market, which is compounded by internet hug boxes that insist everyone who puts brush to model is a “pro painter”. On the flip side selling is also like pulling teeth. I tried selling some old AoS Destruction kits mostly NoS at 40-60% below MSRP and could not get any bites.

Well they turned one of their own into sentient soup and ate it, they turn people into sentient decorations so they suffer and reinvigorate dark eldar, bunch of nobles were turned into immortal suffering dance floor decorations, they can have talos pain engine eat you up as interesting specimen, vimmit you up and then put you back together. In one book dark eldar turned man into living display of human body, all organs, bones, nervous system separated in display. Also typical mad scientist experiments like what will happen if you add ork arms to human and stitch someones head to his asshole. They can also rip soul out of your body, keep it in box and then use to heal themselves. GW is quite PG with things but in general DEldar can torture you to death, ressurect you just to torture you some more.

Obviously. Good point tho, but it still seems weird. I get it for well painted stuff. If i cant paint well, or dont have the time for it.. sure. It might cost 20-30€ more than a new kit, but all the work is done for me and its ready to play.

A well assembled kit, unpainted.. i can see someone paying nearly NiB price for it.

But a kit that is often badly assembled, with some thick paint slapped on.. this should be worth way less than a new kit.
I just dont get it how he could even list that thing for 1€ less than a new kit. You can see the brushstrokes in this thicc paint from the thumbnail.

just ordered a few boxes of deathwing knights to convert some assault terminators for my black templars

are the greatswords/mauls an acceptable substitute for the thunderhammers for the purposes of wysiwyg or do i need to worry about converting actual thunderhammers. black templar assault terminators dont have a sword or maul option so it wouldnt be confusing as far as loadout on paper i dont think as i wouldnt be trying to obscure a special weapon choice, they all have the same loadout on every model.

Honestly I've seen quite a few resellers of second hand models on marketplace and they will try offload them for 30-35% off gw prices, which for a model that's been built and painted (like shit) is just too much for me. Problem is these fuckers will buy those great deals that pop up and resell the entire lot for far more

The best deals I've found are the ones where the listing is a bit shit or vague, like they will only have a photo or two in the listing but it's hard to make out wtf they are selling. Had an ork seller do this and I assumed it was a scam. A few days later a shit tonne of orks turn up, including a legit goff rocker, for only 100 bucks

>it apparently has rules and the warp itself was described to have a structure
Time is ignored, Slaanesh always existed even before his birth, you can time travel by accident, at one time warp is just plains where daemons battle at other it's sea/void with waves of pure emotions, rivers of hate etc. Main reason why chaos didn't win is because it's self destructive and most powerfull asset Gods don't do shit, just play one big table top game with their daemons and mortal minions. In old fluff they used to just steal primarchs from Emperor's warp proofed lab, but now it was rectoned that Karen took the kids. Pylons are blackstone tech and you can as well polarise them to enchance warp, just like Warpstone fortressess did, and there is story of blank selling her soul for time travell(it was turbo stupid, she was turned into fleshy abomination and killed without doing anything, but hey it happened). So in "reality" you can overcome all anti warp stuff with enough warp power, just 99,99% of time Gods don't give fuck and just beat eachother.
>as for Lucius, i am not aware of his story
Dunno if this particular of Lucius at all, so Lucius is this champion of Slaanesh who is known for being good with sword and that whoever kills him and feel pride in it get turned into him. So you kill Lucius and day later his bald head is growing out you and you just became another face on his armor. In 8th ed codex timeline Lucius fought necron and was killed by it, in next days metal necron turned into fleshy Lucius. Also there was story of Lucius stepping on landmine. How do he get out of this situation? Well he turned into manufactorum worker who made said mine.

Getting seat in 12 is problematic because it's hard to perma kill haemonculi. They for most part create horcruxes and other esoteric means for ressurection after being killed. Best creatures at killing haemoncul is another haemonculus.

The Imperials didn't know it was there. They still completely thrashed the Eldar, who only 'won' because they managed to get the armor away.

I rather imagine a world where Marines flopped Xenos are the most popular bois and Votann never existed and they introduced an actually good new Xeno faction instead of making release after release of good/bad marines in different colours, oh and Admech actually got the models they deserve, something like 30k stuff.

Are people here unironically shitting on new EC? They are fantastic. The only no bueno unit is possibly the Coneheads but even they have alternative heads AND probably other EC heads fit them well as well.

I waited for EC since 6th edition and I am happy. Can't wait for the release.

I dunno man, I probably should have seen it with World eaters, but I have no hope for chaos. The most innovative faction is the most redundant faction in te game title.
>>
>>94854555
There's some legitimate criticism, the basic legion'tary is too similar to HH MKVI marines, and it feels weird that all the releases besides Fulgrim are regular marine variants, without neither bikes, slangors, cultists or termies
>>
I'm laughing out of nowhere because Adventure Quest's recent Christmas armor is a Santa Claus Emprah mix. It's like if Emprah had a special Christmas armor he puts on before spreading Christmas joy every year.

>>94854555
I'm happy too but i refuse to use a single cone-head... What a shitty design choice i pretend to use helmets all around.

>>94854555
Whenever i see these models i can only imagine them troonishly looking in the mirror after getting their conehead lengthened and smiling at how sexy and gender affirmed they feel.

Yeah I'm really curious if they ever thought of adding Slaangors to the codex, they are a great kit.

>Catachans
The age of "cool musclemen jungle fighters" is over. They had their peak in the 80s, but nobody cares about Rambo any more.

>Vostroyans
They already did the Krieg Kill Team in plastic (so basic troops are done), and Krieg had (or has) a large fanbase due to the great FW stuff.

Vostroyans are neat, but also very niche. And even if Napoleonic russians in space would be just as popular as WW1 in space, Krieg had already pre-designed tanks and other stuff, saving GW some time.

It feels maybe like GW wanted each legion to be unique, which is why Nurggors aren't in the DG army or why EC don't have cultists or why WE don't have Red Butcher Terminators.

But if the cover art of the codex indicates more models, it's possible they'll have a surprise release of a Slaanesh daemons model that can be used in Index: Chaos Daemons and Codex: Emperor's Children, plus the existing daemon models filling out the EC roster
>NO, DAEMONS ARE BEING SQUATTED!
Maybe, but not for another 4 years when they don't get an Index in 11th. In 10th they at least have an index, still.

Nta, but maybe you just don’t like it? It’s ok not to like everything for all armies. The poses and sculpts for those models are really good. Maybe you just don’t like the heads? I admit I think the conehead is a bit silly, and I don’t know about you but I have so many extra heads lying around. Every kit these days always comes with tons of head options I’m sure if that’s the only thing bothering you it’s a problem you can solve.

No bullying but because deldar are neatly subdivided into Kults, Kabals and Kovens you can easily ignore the weaker/harder to collect haemonculi and just make a Kabalite army, or a more piratical army with the inclusion of Corsair auxiliaries, or use the Reaper's Gambit detachment and have Clowns and Cabals, or make a Wych cult.

Cut out some plasticard and started clipping around the legs to see how it would end up looking. Here's a quick mockup. Obviously its not aligned or glued or even primed yet, im mainly just wondering if its too obvious that the model is glued to the base.

Maybe I can "crack" the marble a bit around his legs and paint some effects to make it seem like the sheer weight of his cock made him sink into the very surface he's walking on. Sell the idea a bit.

Yeah I know I shouldn't have glued the model but I fucked up and only had the idea after I did it, now we gotta play the salvaging game.

>reasons why EC was good
I was fully prepared for worse like

>reasons why EC is bad
Primed for a 'second wave', they left out stuff that seems very logical like a new Bike model for CSM/EC, Doomrider the daemon, Eidolon, continuing the "Bile isn't associated with EC" meme. No Sonic Helbrute/Dreadnought. Easily could have put some of those Flawless Blades on Seekers and gotten mounted Flawless Blades. Desire to make EC different means that unlike the other legions they have no cultist/mutant followers, it's just all marines. But all marines can be good too since it means they can't make boxes that are just jakhals/tzaangors- you could easily buy this entire army with the fomo box and combat patrol.

>reasons why it is mid
The Kakaphonist was unexpected as were the blades and the tormentors/other build. But I would argue if the Tormentors can have two datasheets, they could have included a second datasheet for Exalted Noise Marines/Noisier Marines all armed with Blastmasters. But otherwise it works.
>>
>>94854980
Because it's been 6 years, let it go. 40k has Davinci and Daemon engines, 30k has battle automata fighting spider robots from War of the Worlds. The 30k stuff will never be ported over because "muh tech sucks more in 40k". That's just how it is.

The old Catachans (fine for its time, looks like ass by comparison) and Pontifex Zenestra from AoS (shit model that looks shittier next to its own chair) come to mind. For the most part, modern models aren't necessarily bad designs, they just play it too safe to give good designs, and any bad calls have less to blame on quality of the work and more to blame on the mindset of the artist. For example, Desolators look stupid as hell, but the designs are still clean and make sense visually, and Titus looks like Titus, but whoever posed it doesn't understand the human range of motion and decided to give him some flailing spaz sprint that he's never once done in either of his games.

It's a machine so the strength of the grip can easily be more reliable than mechanical fingers given it's a more fixed attachment. It frees up the hand to hold other weapons. If you're pointing an arm at an enemy then it's already pointed at the same enemy too if he ever gets close.

If you've ever had an M203 attached to the front of your rifle you'd know that even such a small weight can have major impacts on overall balance. It's a small thing that adds a lot of inconvince you'd need to retrain for just to break old habits.

This. I can't speak about what regular units preferred but in the teams there was a there was a preference for standalone these standalone m203 chassis made by LMT. The reason being a lot of guys felt that the under barrel configuration made their guns a lot more front heavy which they felt negatively impacted accuracy and CQB especially with the 10 inch.

Just about everyone does. I get the idea of having a two-in-one so you don't have to carry two separate weapons but sometimes we do need them separate. It doesn't help that we keep on replacing them with even worse.

They thought about that with the M320 and M320 is only slightly heavier, but it's substantially larger and slightly more front-heavy. Practically nobody actually attaches them to their rifles for this reason. This means it's just about only standalone. It's also mixed at best for standalone. As a standalone, collapsible stock tends to either get stuck in place or becomes loose. It costs like 3 times more to make too. Not worth it.

No because springs break and there's fucktons of problems delivering enough energy with the spring operation alone for a good stab without some motor or engine on your arm. Extendable batons alone are known for durability issues and either the blade would be small enough to not be a hindrance or it'd be a big paperweight most of the time. Others pointed out there's no demand for melee because we're not bashing each other with shovels in WWI trenches and lightsaber style melee weapons solve most of these problems.

Oh fucking this. In order to be “retractable”, all but the last, smallest section are hollow, and the walls are thinner than the pipe you'll find at a hardware store. Oh, they'll still hurt like a motherfucker, but they don't take much abuse before one or more of the segments are so bent from the impacts that they no longer telescope properly. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and the weakest links keeping most expandable batons together are really, really weak especially for an intended bludgeon.

Even worse are the “collapsing canes/staffs” used as part of stage magic. These are essentially thin springs that coil up inside themselves and open when a restraining pin is released. They cannot take ANY impact, and exist purely for the visual of a wand, cane, or staff appearing like magic. Yet for some reason, certain dishonest websites sell them as “self defense tools” and some idiots online INSIST they can be used that way.

There is entire sub part of Black Legion that is ex EC, one of abby's Chosen, one of highest rank in Black Legion is EC. EC are tied to Abaddon ever since Fulgrim pledged himself.
Fabius is freelancer who left his legion 10k years ago and is currently working with everyone who pay. He's entire thing is he's independant, jumping from one patron to another, pissing one guy off just to run to another for protection and he's doing it for 10k years. He didn't use EC to achive his goals he used everybody. Last time we heard about him was when he was using random renegade chapter while running away from Death Guard and Custodes, before that he worked with Crimson Slaughter.
Fabius being in EC codex make as much sense as Abaddon.
In 3,5 and 7th ed traitor legions you coulnd't run Fabius in your EC army because he was undivided, and guess what he's still undivided.

Just so you know in past Abaddon had keyword/mark of Slaanesh, unlike Fabius who was as undivided as it gets.
Just deal with it Fabius left Emperor's Children after heresy and is doing his own thing, he don't care about legion because he have his own new men pet project. Abaddon have his own force of EC in black and loyality of Fulgrim and rest of EC legion alongside having blessing of Slaanesh himself. Fabius just ignore existence of chaos gods.

Not sure how to make the pink brighter, I used pink horror and emp children I dont even know if they have a lighter pink than those.
Also those are the thinest white lines I could humanly draw, i was using the absolute tip of my 00000 brush. Maybe next time I can make them even thinner.

Definitely as they have the normal sorcerer and also Raptors in this pic >>94854662
They probably have access to almost everything normal CSM have.

good honestly, i think the plague apothecary aesthetic fits way better into deathguard.

Nauseus rotbone is one of the best models DG has ever gotten.

I remember that one Farseer who was being tortured, repeatedly killed and revived again. Reconstructed more like in a painful way and kept in a vat. He was completely mindbroken, begging for mercy he knew won't ever come. When you freed him, he immediately falls apart into pieces.

Another Farseer was turned into a chessboard and playing on it was obviously painful for him. I think you can gift that chessboard to your Inquisitor companion kek
>>
stop asking for marine shit. is too much already and more will come, just paint your actual marines in the colour you want and stop taking resources from other factions.
>>
>>94855976
If I’m not mistaken, hh1.0 was actually just 40k 7th edition, so you literally could play with them. I find it weird how they made diverging rule sets.
>>
>>94855974
If you have access to white ink, it could be a nice tool for you. You can even mix it into white paints if you don't like them doing super super thin

yep its stupid i think they did it purely because they dont want to muddle the waters for how marines looks between the editions.
>>
>>94855976
>I hope once they are done with HH they will just let them be used in 40k.
That door closed

mainline 40k doesn't want resin
and the two departments which handle respectively the main games (40k, kill team, warhammer quest, AoS, warcry, underworlds) and the specialist games (HH, legions imperialis, necromunda, TOW, blood bowl) act on different budgets that depend on the sales of their own products, meaning that they cannot include products of the other department without making it so they sell less of their own product, and thus get less in budget, because they're encouraging customers to buy and use the product of the other department, which gives them the sale and the budget

I'm done asking for things, didn't go well last time. I play marines but wouldn't hate for them to take some time releasing tonnes of other armies stuff if it means they spend more time getting their ideas solid. It feels like these guys got rushed a little bit compared to templars and dangels
>>
>>94856039
I guess they had to redo Lucius first. But yeah if there would be another EC character it should be Eidolon, guy lead biggest and best organised warband, also at least in heresy he was very much focused on sonic weapons and was one of first noise marines.
>>
>>94856043
oh my god thats fucking lame, i really dont understand the logic of games workshop sometimes.

Some serious mismanagement going on, reminds me of when 10th started and they were heavily pushing this epic tyranid war and then nothing fucking happened in the lore lol.

you know what i meant, dark eldar are obviously not getting new shit because GW what probably catch heat for oversexualizing them or some shit

>>
>>94856041
Talking to anons here it seems like there's drastic differences in people's experience with certain paint colours, and it seems somewhat tied to the temperature of the country they're shipped to. I have great experiences with wraithbone base, and nightmarish experiences with runelord brass, while another anon here was saying the exact opposite and it turned out he was in the middle of Australia, and I'm in the middle of canada so the paints were shipping through drastically different climates.
>>

>>94856066
Dark Eldar don't get new shit because they are evil counterpart to side faction.
Imagine SM and CSM situation, muhreenes get models each edition and csm get new models once a decade, but not take into account that DEldar are CSM to Craftworlders SM. It's so over.
>>
>>94856072
I'm assuming the departments themselves don't get to make that decision but it's imposed on them on higher ups who want to know exactly what sells and what works with the game systems they sell.

If the department are the ones making the call on this stuff, then it must be that not only their budget is linked to the sales but also the extra paycheck, but I truly do not want to believe this is the case.
>>
>>94856080
uk here, my balthazar golds look perfect for DG. But my greens turn out too dark.

I 100% agree with you that the paints seem to vary by country.
>>
>>94856086
You should get another english class or two.

Let me guess, favourite factions are night lords, iron warriors and krieg?
>>
>>94856086
yep your right, it just sucks that some factions get overlooked heavily. Happy for the Iron hands players who are actually getting a new model this year if the rumors are correct.
>>
>>94856013
That's a blunder. You don't need a 0000 brush to paint fine lines, its not even good for that as it holds shit for paint - you are likely overloading and losing control.That shits like for pinpoint detail on eyeballs.

Anything with a good tip in like the 0-4 range will do, and do it better. Use a small amount of lightly or even unthinned paint for control and coverage.
>>
>>94855812
>>94855910
Thanks. I have VGC Gunmetal and not really liking how thick it is with hueg particles, doesn't really look that good either. I have Bright Bronze from Game Color series as well and it's insanely good, good coverage but super thin like you've said for Metal Color range. I'm just looking for a single color to use for everything, then a wash to darken the recesses so Aluminum sounds better if Steel is dark enough already.
>>
>>94856159
Is Carnac in the room with us right now?
>>
>>94856133
just a heads up, aluminum does have fairly poor coverage with one coat, but after 3-4 coats it's quite bright and shiny
>>
>>94856099

Maybe add grey knights too.

I would like to see a 40K version of him. I like how twisted they get over 10,000 years.

So the last three Codexes of the edition are Space Wolves, Votann, and DEldar right?
Don't the last few Codexes always get a big release wave because they're the last thing out the door before the six month dry spell before the next edition?
>>
>>94856189
I don’t play anything but elite armies anyways. So I don’t care about it at this point. Would be nice for a book though.
>>
The Guilliman/Yvraine stuff has gotten stale, what new crackship can be pushed to reinvigorate the community?
>>
>>94856088
That would be a basic misunderstanding of economics by corporate. If people are buying HH marines for 40k, they would see an uptick also in 40k products because they're complimentary goods (in the same way buying models leads customers to buy paint, if someone buys HH marines for bits and conversions, they'll also buy other units or other marines to bash together). The only reason to 'split' your model lines for customers is to make them buy more models because of incompatibility, splitting your business internally is a recordkeeping and work culture headache that gives you less efficient process, less useful data and damages cooperation and teamwork.

not necessarily

but space wolves are pretty much confirmed to get their primaris makeover, votann are most likely inbound for a second wave, and dark eldar will likely accompany the rumoured eldar corsairs expansion (new vyper, additional infantry unit with flight packs, yriel, some kind of seer)
rakhart and grotesques might happen for the dark eldar themselves but who knows, maybe not
>>
>>94856229
To wit: They're trashing 40k sales to push HH and they don't even notice because of the tidal wave of money that comes in. The mismanagement will probably catch up to them someday, but it's not going to be today.
>>
>>94856214
Yvraine deserved better. Maybe even a Faction.
Just like all Eldars.

She really didn't. She's a bit of a cunt.
>>
>>94856229
>they would see an uptick also in 40k products
yeah, but they can't precisely keep track of what causes what exactly

>splitting your business internally is a recordkeeping and work culture headache that gives you less efficient process, less useful data and damages cooperation and teamwork.
and yet that's what we're seeing, and if GW didn't want overlaps in its gaming systems it wouldn't have brought back the old world at all and would stop producing stuff for the horus heresy, because lets be real, a lot of shit is essentially a very viable proxy for the other side
>>
>>94856244
Huh, you know if they want to justify the two codex system for Eldar it might make sense to make the whole Corsair line into a mini faction in Dark Eldar the same way that Harlequins are a mini faction in Craftworlds and then just give ally rules to use each other's mini faction.
