Previous thread:>>96425149
>>96429207Take your 40k talk to where it belongs:>>>/y/catalog
Where's the codex GW
>>96429207>TQ Just recently my Night-bringer got charged by Titus and 6 Bladeguard and they did no dmg against him and he was able to bop a few back and then use Hyperphasing to dip out. Was pretty epic
>>96429207>Whats the most cinematic moment you've had on the tabletop?had a big bird go off and take out celestine, an inquisitor and a squad of repentia, really felt like a greater daemon performance
>>96429247they're trying to figure out how to write a codex with almost 0 models since all the resin ones are being thrown into a volcano
>>96429274Sick!
>>96429247No news is good news, right?
Could Szarekh hypothetically break through terra’s defenses and breach the imperial palace?
>>96429285I mean when you see the C’tan I am not sure what he couldn’t accomplish with them.
>>96429247It's going to be shit. 10th edition is shit. Go back to 3rd edition or 5th edition. Those are the good times for deldar. I wish there was a perfect "4th" edition codex that mixed the best aspects of 3rd and 5th together. Keep the soul of 3rd with the roster choices of 5th
I think I'm slowly improving the style I want. I see flaws in these guys but improvement compared to previous guys
>TQtwo moments come to mind>The Last Stand of the Phoenix of CadiaVs Tyranids, Leman Russ Commander just got taken out by a big ass sniper bug. Roll for Death Befitting of an Officer. 6. Roll for demolisher attacks. 6. Enough hits break through the hive tyrant looming over my second tank to kill it, breaking synapse too. Game goes from a near-defeat to a glorious victory>The Clash At Daemon HeadThis was during a Pariah Nexus crusade, the mission where you make new points. The forces of New Cadia were pitted against Be'lakor and a Lord of Change. Due to the foe's malicious manipulations (he brought two greater daemons to a 1k), the imperial forces were undergunned (I had only one tank and pair of FOBs). It all seemed hopeless as though bloodthirster and nurgling fell to artillery and lasfire, the birdlike daemon warped reality to undo the many shots from the Leman Russ. What seemed like an inevitable defeat turned to a draw however, as a reinforced platoon of Cadians arrived to capture a point in the opponent's backline while they were far too obsessed with utter destruction. Though many guardsmen were lost, this battle was merely a distraction as the full force of the Imperium decimated the greater daemon's allies (my teammates won their games)
>>96429295These are precious and should treasured my wolfbro, awoooo!!!
>>96429207Maybe not the most, but just last night had a single VHSS vet sarge blow up a Deredeo with his Aetherfire blaster, go maul a tac squad bloody with his power fist, and blast some shots on them on the retreat before finally succumbing to a bolt pistol shot from the Praetor's retinue. That guy's getting some bling, one of the first models I ever painted too. I've also had some pretty cool showdowns with my Warboss back in the day; krumped my buddy's Adrax plenty of times, he's taken down tanks and Daemon Princes too. Probably my funniest this edition is having his Battlewagon Zzap the fucking wings off a Winged Prince who positioned too aggressively, Deff Rolla the fucker into ground beef, and knock the last wound off with the Wreckin' Ball
>>96429299
>>96429304
>>96429308Smearing your face in shit is not gonna get rid of the flies. It'll only attract them more.
>>96429331Keep your sick fantasy so yourself
>>96429247It's already written and reviewers have seen the digital copy but it's stuck in printing. It has to be the last codex of the edition because it ties their narrative for the end campaign of the edition. And they can't start that until they fix the mold and get Imperial Knights out the door that they lost the usb for.
>cant figure out what helmets to use for my super speshul self-insert squadWhat are the coolest space marine helmets?
did gw just legends deathwatch
>>96429348D:< or B>>>96429353They got better
>>96429353Lets hope
>>96429348Beakies or mk7
>>96429356I do like B> but I feel like I'm copying ravenguard if I do that.
>>96429365There are ways to differentiate. A little freehand on the beaks or helm can keep them from being too much like the RG. Sallyman’s shark mouth dude is probably one of his better minis and he can’t even thin properly. You’ll do fine.
>>96429353explain
>TQIn yon days of yore under the asupicies of 4th edition, I was playing a game of my Raven Guard marines vs the Imperial Guard during a narrative tournament, and it was not going well. My army had been reduced to a Dreadnought, a Land Speeder Typhoon, and a single 10-man Tactical Squad guarding an objective, which was a hill. The points system of the narrative tournament meant that although the IG player would win the game, if my tacs held the objective until the last turn it got enough points for my team to equate a draw.The tacs miraculously weathered the Guard’s fire before being assaulted by a squad of Guardsmen from the left, a squad of Stormtroopers on the right, and a clump of Ogryns to the center. Seeing his brothers getting swarmed, the Dreadnought charged into the melee.The Tactical squad survived, but at great cost. The Ogryns were torn apart by the Dreadnought, and although the both the Guardsmen had been decimated by the brutal fighting, the Stormtrooper Sergeant’s Power Fist delivered final rest to the Dreadnought. Only the Tac Sergeant and a single battle-brother remained, and the Sergeant avenged the venerable Dreadnought as his squadmate held off the remaining humans. The Sergeant turned just in time to see his brother fall, but the Guard fled from his frenzied gaze, unable to stomach seeing so many of their own slain before them.The Sergeant, alone and unbroken, still held the hill, surrounded by the heaped corpses of friend and foe.And on the final turn, a Leman Russ battle-tank rounded the nearby copse of trees and placed a Lascannon shot right between his eyes.
>>96429379This image just looks gay. Like he had a bad time at the slaaneshi orgy session
>>96429372>freehandingI forgot this was a thing. Thanks anon!
>>96429207>TQI had my bladeguard manage a 12 inch heroic intervention into a hive tyrant attacking that charged their party bus. Instead of getting like 2 guys in combat I was able to wrap the big bug and chop it to bits, then charge one of his Genestealer squads and kill half of them the next turn. The extra movement probably won me the game.
>>96429379Kino
>>96429373The new killteam will replace the old furryborn
Whats going on here? He looks like he's wearing a retard helmet
>>96429407Now that's what I call a brain case!
>>96429407unless its a beak, all marine helmets are retard helmets
GW were really malicious with death watch
>>96429247I think by now it's pretty clear they're not actually getting a codex this edition. If they were, GW would have made some kind of mention of it by now. It costs them absolutely nothing to do so, but they haven't. There's no rumor engines that look like anything even close to their aesthetics. They haven't commented on the one leaked sprue which means it's either a cancelled product or actually not a release meant for this edition. The sent their Forgeworld models to legends during the release of a DIFFERENT army's Codex and not their own like everyone else. There's not even a peep of a rumor about them from any of the usual sources.It could be that Dark Eldar actually are the starter companion faction for 11th and that's why they're skipping over them. It could just be because leaving them as an index means they technically don't have to deal with their resin problem until next edition when they do get a codex. Or it could just be that they're finally getting squatted and rolled into Aeldari like GW has been threatening to do for years.
>>96429437crazy how deldar mogged black templars back then, thank goodness black templars got the primaris treatment otherwise this would be a xenos game.
I'm going to be playing in a 1000 point league at the local, with the winner getting a prize at the end. How many land fortresses should I run?
>>96429427frankly deathwatch shouldn't have been its own faction from the startjust doing all the ordes as their own thing makes more sense
>>964292933rd to 5th really was the best time. Take me back.
Are predators/land raiders a stupid buy right now? I need a tank and the Repulsors look gay.
>>96429476Theyre getting legends'd out soon but if you like em I say enjoy them while you can.
>>96429476Oldgoodnewbad
>>96429486land raiders are too iconic to be legends'd
I am so fucking jealous of people who got the new League stuff I was gonna get stuff on release, but a massive bill popped up to take my money, then the road rego bill and the fact I have to take the car for it's 6-monthly ish check up. In short, I hate being part of the underpayed but educated wagie class.
>>96429476 Predators are most likely going away, Land Raider is always the correct choice in any case.
>>96429476take the chaos pill
>>96429499I am upset that the entire faction is out of stock. I just don't understand how it's possible to be this behind on stocking even the old stuff. I just started the faction and can't break 1700 points, because I've bought everything I could from my local.
>>96429476get the HH spartan if you can afford it. alternatively get one 3d printed. you could probably even get it printed on those low quality printers, because its so blocky.i saw one IRL yesterday in a 40k word bearer army and it looked awesome
Anyone know if HH marines are manlets? I sort of want to do 100 blood claws, and it's way cheaper to buy the HH models and throw swords on em.
>>96429486They gave the BTs a special land raider crusader in their supplement just now, doesn't seem like they're sending it to legends any time soon. The predator is probably on the chopping block though.
>>96429545they're smaller than numaris but bigger than old marines
Anyone know where I could get some party style ork heads from, and does anyone know the wire that's used when some people make neon like signs in their conversions? I'd imagine its gotta be real fuckin thin
>>96429398yea, either the old kit goes legends or they just say both kits use the same rules (they have the same weapons on the datasheet)
>>96429348Eagleface. Peak loyalist aesthetic.
>>96429456They are the only interesting thing about Ordos Xenos though. 99% of ordos xenos is an inquisitor leading around a bunch of deathwatch.
>>96429545same scale as 40kg CSM. maybe 1-2 mm shorter than primaris.you'd be fine mix and matching mk6 and primaris blood claws.
>>96429437The deldar poster is going to feast so hard when they get announced in the 11e starter, my lord
>>96429476The Primaris vehicles are pretty cool anon, don’t believe the hate.
>go to the LGS today to look for stuff>new Votann stuff there>no longer plastic blisters for new characters, they come in tiny cardboard boxesI honestly like it, they look cleaner. Though I imagine the plastic violated some eco rule in Europe and that’s why it’s gone.
>>96429353the new kits got all the exact same weapons. even the meme combi heavy bolter, and ctan phase sword.and if you really hate gravis and phobos, you can just put the 4 out of 10 bits on whatever mk you want
>>96429486Doubt it since chaos still uses them. Loyalist might lose them but doubt GW is gonna stop selling them for awhile
>>96429476Predators still sell very well and will not be legends despite what these dipshits say. Screenshot this and suck my dick in 11th
>>96429577Primaris vehicles getting the decal slopper seal of approval is all we need to know. I'm now bullish on the predator and land raider.
>>96429577Which one is the one on the right? I have an impulsor right now. He’s ok.
>>96429596They are both repulsor executioners >>96429583Stfu
Should I get a Helbrute and chaos predators for my EC army? I know they aren't in the codex but what are the chances they'll get in for the 11th edition
>>96429594Fuck I meant to tell u to stfu
nu-40k vehicles have too many guns sticking out in all directions.

>>96429610Yea but they are not cheap so it works
>>96429610>Tau multi-tracker module
>>96429600>Day 3 and they still haven’t noticed that I am not a Marine..
>>96429577those don't look very good
>>96429635They are a bit large but I like them
>>96429613I won't because its based.
>>96429638I don't like all the ugly decals plastered everywhere.
Building my first army and the 9th + 10th edition Votann combat patrols and a Hekaton Land Fortress is exactly 1000 points. Does this sound passable for something i can play until I have enough stuff for a 2000 point army?
>>96429648Well to each his own
>>96429476If you're worried, 3D print them. 3D printing Predators on FDM works really well if you have the right settings.
>>96429613replace the earthshakers with more beserks coward
>>96429673But the shakers are cool and get dedicated support on the detachment!
>>96429678nono mortaronly hammer
>>96429437Anon, they’d have to be working on the new molds now to produce them for next edition. Those things take a long time of both modeling, planning sprues, testing, final mold machining, then mass production. That takes much longer than you think.
>>96429564yeh but if ordos xenos got its own codex instead of deathwatch being its own separate thing and agents in general being an after thought that could have led to more attention to the general theme of alien hunters. probably not in the tabletop since not even deathwatch gets attention as is, but just as a concept in lore
>>96429345They lost the usb? Maybe they pissed off the omnissiah.What else do you know fren?
>>96429719I didnt know Ella Purnell could make that face
>>96429270Share a photo of the battle anonSurely there was no funny business
You get to have one (1) model or box set from this catalogue, in original condition and perfectly manufactured. What do you choose and why?
>>96429832A link for anyone interested:http://www.solegends.com/citcat2004us/
How many armies is too many?
>>96429849More than you want
>>96429849If you have an unpainted army, another one is too many. Otherwise no limit.
So how did The Beast get big, strong and technology advanced to get to where he was without the Imperium (or anybody really, like the fucking Eldar) noticing for what, a good millennium and a half? Who or what (where?) was he fighting (I guess the easy answer there is xenos or other orks)
I hate it when I'm painting my faggot dog just stares at me.
>>96429855>tfw have like 12armies>I think I have painted models from 3 of them
>>96429530I just wish it had enclosed sponsors.

>>96429874dog wanting attention 24/7 can be incredibly annoying
>>96429793None whatsoever
>>96429860talk him for a walk nigga
Do the Killteam boxes sell out because Killteam is popular, or is it just fomo idiots buying it for 40k?
>>96429577>>96429600>>96429890The scent....
>>96429207>TQBack in 8e Asurmen and 30 Dire Avengers held their own against a vastly more lethal marine force thanks to his 4++ aura, and when the ranks finally closed he slaughtered his way through an entire squad of bladeguard and all the enemy characters.More recently Baharroth with his Hawks and a Wraithknight killed a Monolith and a Lychguard brick in a free for all, upsetting what was going to be a clear Necron win.
>>96429896Both
>entire tau armies painted with contrast
>>96429897Go away
>>96429859There are several fuckhuge Ork empires in the galaxy and the Imperium has very little knowledge of what is happening within them.And those empires love to go to war against each other given the opportunity, there really isn't a period when Orks are "at peace".
>>96429902>entire tau armies painted with contrastAlmost as bad as your entirely unpainted army.
>>96429902At least it's painted. Post yours or you're beneath that taufag.
>Finally new Raveners>stuck in a KT box with another armyFucking GW, when, if ever, can we expect these in a standard unit box?
>>96429908>when, if ever, can we expect these in a standard unit box?Never, and get cucked.
>>96429912Fucking GW.
>>96429908Usually 6 months or so after the box came out, cant remember how long it took to get an individual release for the tankbustas / breakas
>>96429908Uh... Anon.
>>96429902someone once asked me if my army was contrast painted and i was actually offended
>>96429902>entire tau armies paintedBased
>>96429925>someone once asked me if my army was contrast painted and i was actually offendedWhy would that offend you? Do you care what people think of your plastic toy soldiers?
>>96429925I've had someone ask me the same thing but he's never painted a mini in his life and gets everything commission painted so it came from a point of ignorance
>>96429925kek, it's a nice way to trigger someone
>>96429925Let's see your army
>>96429919>110 buckaroos40k is such a joke
>>96429906>>96429907>>96429928You cant deny it looks awful across all of those flat panels
>>96429936War for less chads rise up
>>96429942I just buy models second hand and restore them to my standards :)
>>96429946I try doing that first, but when the shit that I want is very popular and sells instantly on marketplace I buy from them as my plan b
>>96429938>You cant deny it looks awful across all of those flat panelsNo one cares except for you. Go and paint your models, homo.
>>96429935certainly i used black contrast paint to get a smooth transition from the black horns to the red skin but that was it
>>96429955But i am anon
>>96429968>But i am anonPic related
>>96429960Looks fine but I can definitely see with all that red skin why somebody might think you used contrast, since that's what a new person would do
>>96429960I understand why he asked, it's because of the red, not enough highlights.
>>96429974Very much a wip, now its your turn
>>96429960How do you paint your reds, daemon anon?
>>96430001>now its your turnno
>>96430012:(
>>96430009contrast paint from the looks of it
>>96429207I come from the future! They're squatting GK in 11th edition because they cant turn them into primaris. That's why they are still not getting a KT and no model refresh.
>>96430018
>>96430020next KT box is Alpha Legion vs Grey Knights
>>96430020They can turn grey knights into primaris.All needs to happen is that Cawl gives them the tech and knowledge to make primaris marines.
what are you lads working on this weekendI was going to try something a bit flashier with this vindicator but didn't like how it ended up looking, so I'm just sticking with spikes and chaos stars
>>96430065Probably try finish a tyranid prime. Not really happy with it but just gonna stick with it. Start building this fucking squad of neophytes i haven't had time to finish yet. Hopefully start weathering the fuck outta a trukk. Too many projects not enough time
>>96430065>what are you lads working on this weekendI'm doing 36 hours at work. Not going to be a lot of time to paint, or sleep...Good choice with the HH Vindicator. It's one of the best models.
If I have a unit outside of a ruin and I charge a unit inside of a ruin that’s completely out of LOS is there any penalty to me charging? Can the enemy unit declare overwatch?
What armies, loyalist or traitor, still make use of predators and vindicators effectively? I have a soft spot for these dumbass boxes and now with 3 rhinos I want to start checking off the other vehicles.
>>96430083IW.
>>96429594Eh I like em.I feel like the hover vs treat would practically have different doctrinal usecases
>>96430083Chaos Marines' Zealot army can have them get sustained hits on 5+ with the Nurgle mark after a fully successful dark pacts.It lets those str14 3+D6 hits become more like a full 8 or 9 hits average.>that also gets a havok launcher and combi bolter
GW will never be able to make a decent robot
>>96430091they're british, they have to britishit everything with their culture-cartoon-characturethey will not dare make a mecha that looks non british
Orks will never get an actual tank will they
>>96430104they give and take them awayconstantly, to make you buy more shit to convert and then lose
>>96430083>What armies, loyalist or traitor, still make use of predators and vindicators effectively?Iron Hands. Without a doubt
>>96430083Split between the two in all honesty. CSMs of most flavors live the fuck out of the predator for antitank and combos like >>96430090 whereas loyalist armies take at least one vindicator in everything because it's dirt cheap damage, with the streams only really crossing in things like Ironstorm and the chaos vehicle detachments.
>>96430083<your dudes>Iron Warriors are also an obvious choice, though really there are less chapters/legions/warbands that wouldn't use them than ones that would.
reminder that chaos is slated to lose vindicators and probably predators too
>>96430104It is very annoying not having a unit that makes for a good use of looted SM or IG tanks
>>96430129lol
>>96430139EC didnt have them in their codex for a reason my boy
>>96430104With BS5 do you really want one?Just use a Wazbom and give it a Mek to babysit it, so it has BS3 every turn.
>>96430001That skin is definitely via drybrushing and contrast you can see where it bleeds over along the goggles and gloves on the guy on the far right
>>96430157>With BS5 do you really want one?yes
>>96430145the cult legions have always missed some units regular CSMs get
>>96430157Probably not worth it desu, also a mek wouldnt be able to keep up with it as it has to move a minimum of 20" each turn
>>96430158You're right, the base is a contrast mix followed by dry brushing and highlights on certain parts. Im not great with glazing but I try it around the smooth parts to make it a little better
>>96430065Building whatever this is
>>96430176riverdance
>>96430065>>96430065Just finished glow and his belt. Have a little strap and a spike to do and then it's basing time
>>96430179Did you stay up all night to paint this
>>96430065Is that the official model? Why is it so blue?
>>96430195Nah I started him a couple weeks ago and have been chipping away at him
>>96430198>Why is it so blue?wife left him
>>96430179This fucking sucks
>>96430226Probably, he's my first model back after a few months break
>>96430201Im just referring to the time stamp in your file name
>>96430065Gonna assemble a Land Speeder for a game of 5th
>>96429832Kruellagh, of course.
>>96430235Oh I get you, nah I work as a dispatcher and do nights, I just paint and shitpost at the same time
>>96429832These two large ladies.
>>96430293are those Inquisitor (54mm) scale?
>>96429832Metal grey knight terminators.They were awesome and the only models I don’t have that are on the cover of that book.
>>96430293I forgot about these two. Definitely on the list of stuff I want to pick up at some point
>>96430301Yes.
>>96429832None. Truth be told, looking at those old and charming metal models is fun, and it triggers my nostalgia because i was pretty poor as a kid, and could not afford to spend my little pocket money on character models back then, and would always rather buy a plastic troop box. But today, i have access to ebay and recasts both in metal and resin, and i found out while some models i just needed to have, so i bought the few i really wanted, but others only just have their nostalgic charm, but i dont have any desire to actually own them. >in original condition and perfectly manufacturedAdds nothing for me, because i would unpack and paint it anyway. And "perfectly manufactured" with GW means there is still bent parts and flash to remove.
>>96430316give it a rest my dude, every day with the same low quality shitposts
>>96430360>he doesn't want to catch them allYou will never be the best, like no one ever was
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
Good morning, /40kg/.I have spent over 300 Canadian funny money on third party resin.
>>96429207>TQI had a crusade game in 9th ed where a Canoness went solo against a Trygon and won. Canonesses were a lot killier in 9th ed, and she'd been getting lots of upgrades, but it was still cool as fuck.
>>96430389Are you going to do anything with it
>>96430229Ignore the faggot plz
How is that even possible? It went live at 10 and it was gone before 1 minute past, it takes like three to actually buy it
>As a Kâhl of the Kindred of Vôrtun, Üthar gained an admired reputation for ruthlessness that few other commanders could match. When an Imperial freighter convoy limped through the kindred's territory, blighted by a self-replicating technovirus, he denied their pleas for aid. Instead, he destroyed their armed escorts outright as a spur to drive the freighters away into wilderness space. On the lush moon known to its Exodite inhabitants as Thorvaresh, incensed by their refusal to evacuate before his kindred began global resource extraction, he had his Arkanysts modify six COG-piloted torpedoes with metabolic toxin payloads. He fired them at the moon's principal settlements. A fraction of the Exodites escaped through Webway portals; most perished in agony before the Kin began tearing the moon apart.
>>96430394To be fair Madrobot and AnvilIndustry and both running resin sales right now. I plan to make my guard army playable as the Solar Auxilia in /hhg/ and in 40k, by giving them axe units, and a commander with a power axe from Anvil and ExoLords flame pistol. Hopefully compatible with minimal greenstuff usage with the Anvil's Regiments line of pistols.As for using the melee units, I have heard of Agents of The Imperium using Arbites with power mauls and shields, and looked at the Arbites with Power Mauls and Shields and looked at the Solar Auxilia Storm Section power axe units and thought that maybe the proxying won't be so bad.Also I just want space axe guys because I watched LOGH.
>>96430389So like 90€?
>>96430400You are just slow.. Its still available in other places.
>>96429207>TQ>Not 40kBattletech, had an Urbanmech with a laser and missiles, can't remember the specifics, cover dodging through a city.My other two mechs had been crippled already and had barely scratched the enemy in return. With lucky rolls my UM managed to cripple two opponent medium mechs before overheating cut their spree short and the third one blew up their cockpit with a punch.The whole thing played out like an establishing battle from a movie. The hero's mentor or best friend is piloting a joke of a mech, in a tense shoot out manages to take down the enemies one by one, and just when it looks like they'll save the day, they stall short and get suckerpunched while the protag, one of my already crippled mechs, watches on in horror.I don't have any cinematic 40k stories that I remember.
>>96430403>Madrobot and AnvilIndustry and both running resin sales right now.Thanks for the info. I would have missed it.
>>96429600Just noticed how stupid primaris carts look compared to oldgud.Fucking modern shit. They'd look more appropriate in a fucking Imperial Guard.
>>96430408Oh i don't want that, i wanted the ravaners, i was on at 10 on the dot si not slow at all, just think its wild
>>96430406More than that. Canada's currency is a joke, but it isn't that funny.>>96430414No problem. Just remember that Madrobot seems to be a one man operation so shipping will take longer and the minis are hand-cast on a made to order kind of basis.I'm not sure about Anvilindustry as their quality is better, the thing with Anvil is that they tend to try and cover as many wargaming themes and universes as possible. Not just 40k. Victoriaminiatures is making 40k proxies.The third party market is shifting. Anvil is trying to (mostly) break out of the Warhammer woods and cover a broad range of themes and aesthetics.Madrobot is sticking to classic heroic scale miniatures.Victoriaminiatures if their space aussies are anything to go by is shifting the proportions of her models to match the new heroic scale Cadians.

>>96430663>BL >lmao, no

>>96430663
>>96430104Yeah, probably not. It's not surprising though since if you play orks, it's kind of expected by everyone that you just buy some tanks from another faction.Like guard or space marines and then you just slap bunch of bits onto that to make it orky looking.
>>96430667>>96430667Actually, GW said BL is currently the main source of lore dumps and expanding the setting.On Warhammer+ they had an interview with Guy Haley where he said that, unlike most other IPs, Warhammer treats the novels as part of the canon rather than being throwaway tie-in cashgrabs.
>>96430685>uhm ackchuallyIrrelevant.
>>96430685>rather than being throwaway tie-in cashgrabs.lol
Got a kitbashed Jackal Alphus here for my wild west GSC, might still need some touchups but it's mostly done
>use a bit of contrast through an airbrush to make my model look a little less desaturated>contrast medium has gone bad and causes everything to become really really fucking desaturated, ruins all the work ive doneThats on me, I feel like a fuckin peanut
>>96430667BL is the canon now. Nobody really cares about modern transient campaign books that dissappear in a few months, not even GW.But GW keeps selling books like pic related that define the current 40k setting. QEDI'm tired of pretending that muh BL bad is anything else but contrarian retardation.
>>96430104yes, they will, next year
>>96430692He looks cool as fuck, anon! I would've done something to make his horse like more niddy but it fits fine as just a weird xenohorse like what the kriegers have.
>>96430689>>96430690I accept your concussions.
>>96430690>throwaway tie-in cashgrabsthat's codexes and campaign books in 2025. Meanwhile any BL book is a click away in their website.
>>96430685>writer says writer important wow
>>96430697I originally wanted to use Krieg horses but they were sold out, and I was able to get some Vamp horses for free, so I used em instead
>>96430702More than a writer. He got a job at a high-end at BL.He directed the Dawn of Fire series. for example.
>>96430695>I'm tired of pretending that muh BL bad is anything else but contrarian retardation.BL being bad isn't contrarianism.Many people view BL books as shitty pulp and filler because it is.Most of the plots are not particalarly interesting or well written. Also doesn't help the fact that every writer has their own retarded headcanon version of 40k and how it really is.And since GW has 0 interest to give a fuck to actually police their writers and what they write about, it just results in a gigantic clusterfuck of books which are contradictatory and inconsistent between one another.
>>96430692Wow I haven't seen this gsc anon before, looks gnarly
>>96430703Personally I like it more than a krieghorse. Makes it feel more like someone's beloved and decorated horse than a mere weapon of war. Fitting for the whole blue collar uprising theme of GSCs
>>96430710>headwriter of the writing department at GW says that writer importantwow
>>96430701You can read all DG codexes with their kiddie toilet humor and le funny names, but you will never understand what they're really about until you read Lords of Silence
>>96430710>More than a writer. He got a job as a writerwowie!
>>96430720kek
>>96430695they define the setting so much that if they didn't exist the setting would be defined exactly the same by random bot written paragraphs in codexes.
I dont think working at bl is really paying much really. I've seen what they pump out recently, and I dont think they put any love in it. Also, GW doesnt realize this but they would be better off if they had something thats ongoing that people could look forward to every week to read/skim through rather than buying some shitty book.
>>96430714>>96430715Thanks y'all. I did post two models a couple of threads ago, but just a Primus and a Magus
>>96430713It's contrarianism by midhammer morons stuck in the 2000s"It's pulp" is meaningless, as is "filler". 40k codexes and campaign books are the real badly written slop that nobody reads after a year.>>96430724BL books help sell entire GW mini ranges by themselves, they're integral to the setting. That's when they're bad, people complain endlessly about them, like eldar fans
>>96430728Of course it isn't, they're fucking writing filler books for a setting of a toy soldier game.
>>96430695The prose is badBlack library books aren't books, they are audiodramas. They are written in a way purposefully meant to be converted to a audiobook you listen to while painting, washing the dishes, driving and so on. Barely any artistic expression or exciting things or human condition to be found in them
>>96430713The worst is how these hacks cant help but insert their OC donut steel special characters that are bros with the primarchs and rub shoulders with the Emperor.>A book titled after a primarch>The story follows this super special captain that's so cool and reasonable and no matter if the legion is heretic or loyalist, a good (if gruff) guy deep down.>This captain (never a line marine, he NEEDS to be special) is also among the best warrior in his legion, and is also a master strategist. He duelled a Custodes! And Sigismund!>Oh you think the book will feature the primarch? Sure, here he is complimenting the special captain and maybe stick around for a page or twoAnd dont get me FUCKING STARTED on perpetuals and rememberancers.Fucking boring auper special OC for hacks who dont want their OC to be space marines.
>>96430737The Horus Heresy is my favorite psychological jumpscare thriller series. You just never know when John Grammaticus might show up!

>lorefags
Imperial Knights when? Which combat patrol and Space Marine detachment are we getting next week instead?
>>96430736There's good and badly written BL books. You've read neither.You mention audiodramas, but these are not the same as audiobooks. Which shows how little you know about this.
>>96430733>BL books help sell entire GW mini ranges by themselves, they're integral to the settingBL trash makes up like £1-2 million of revenue for GW in a year. While model sales are like 100x that.We see this in GW's annual reports.BL is irrelevant and doesn't matter.
>>96430720A chief editor is not a mere writer, though.
>>96430740Kek
BL would be great if gw hired ME
>>96430756>special important writer says that writer importantWoow
>>96430755Actually, the new changes to BL and the resources GW invested in pumping more content say otherwise.Major BL series get a lot of fanfare, and they tend to sell out fast.
>>96430755You don't get it.It's not about the profit on the books, from a bussiness PoV they're ads that pay by themselves.But they do boost sales of miniatures, and that has a lot of value. Otherwise GW wouldn't have bothered to keep BL for 25+ years now. Or give it their own section in their TV channel. Or their authors being one of the few named GW employees
>>96430746It’s just you fighting with yourself again.
>>96430763This bland nigga is going to sell out in minutes after being also a bland character in a couple bland BL books.And contrarian retards pretend BL doesn't matter, heh
>>96430692I realized the shot doesn't show off the banner very well, so here's another angle for it
>>96430763>b-but GW did thisBL still doesn't matter and never will.The models sell just fine by themselves and they certainly don't need some badly written BL tie-in-fiction to sell better.Especially when you consider that BL only makes up £1-2 million of revenue, while model sales (the actual thing that fucking matters for GW) generate like £200 million in revenue for the company.BL is irrelevant and all the stories that are made are filler.And GW will completely disregard all of BL on whim a when it suits it. Perfect example, the very Terminus Decree lore snippet in the Grey Knight's 10th edition codex.
>>96430763You mean Horus Heresy novels. When was the last time a novel set set in the 42nd millennium got any kind of fanfare?
>>96430718Same with the fall of cadia novel.Some of the books are just good.
>>96430771That bland nigga is going to sell out in minutes, because he is a space marine. And people will just cannibalize the model and its parts to make their own shit.Not because people actually give a shit about the character.
>>96430771So? I will get him, and replace his U-shoulderpad and the head with a nice Mk7 helmet and he will be a super cool nova marine captain.
>mk7 Oh gross I’m supporting firstborn niggas, this is awful.Nevermind, bl is good
>>96430764>uhm, b-but ackchually reallNo. BL is irrelevant and will never matter for GW.Money is what actually matters to a company, and what generates the most money is the most important thing.All of BL are just "sanctioned" fanfiction and they only exist alongside the game because GW needs an excuse to sell you plastic toysoldiers.
>>96430776Elemental CouncilThe hard copy sold like hotcakes.Mike Brooks' Ork novels received several re-releases, and they sold out, too.
Which army has your favorite set of crusade rules?
>>96430775>And GW will completely disregard all of BL on whim a when it suits it. Perfect example, the very Terminus Decree lore snippet in the Grey Knight's 10th edition codex.GW disregards stuff from studio material that was released a few years ago. the lore in Gathering Storm was discarded by Pariah Nexus.It remains a fact that GW used BL to retcon the setting's timeline via the Dark Imperium series.
>>96430785Ferren's model comes with a mk10 helmet.Anon is probably confusing the model for the Captain Centos model.
>>96430775See >>96430764>>96430786If didn't "matter" it wouldn't exist. Yet GW makes BL pump more books every year to boost mini sales.You are wrong, you don't know what you're talking about.
>>96430786No. GW said that BL is the main vehicle of lore dump of the setting.Codexes, on the other hand, have been scaled down lorewise, observerly.
>>96430775The Terminus Decree was never revealed in a BL book, lorelet
>>96430776>>96430787Deathworlder was also dope. Also the Lucille von Shard books, like three different Necron novels, and Peter Fehervari's Requiem Infernal and The Reverie. All those are ones I've seen lauded as fantastic outings in recent years, and all are set in the Indomitus era.
I reckon they should rework the squigbuggy so its similar to the ridgerunner. The current one is meme worthy, reducing movement and charges to a unit by 2 inches, orks dont give a fuck about being charged
>>96430806in the end, this is about out of touch anons that cannot stand being corrected about the fluff.So they parrot these contrarian bs against the official lore because to feel better about themselves. Truly pathetic behaviour.
>>96430796>It remains a fact that GW used BL to retcon the setting's timeline via the Dark Imperium series.That just proves how little shit GW actually cares about BL too.Originally when primaris were released in 2017 ish, GW jumped the timeline forward by a few centuries and the whole Indomitus Crusade had concluded, this was the reason why bladeguard veterans were made and existed.However GW then just completely up ends the timeline and says "fuck it, we are rewinding the timeline back by a few centuries and Indomitus Crusade is still on going, and now all of this shit like pariah nexus, 4th tyrannic war are happening DURING the Indomitus Crusade."That already tells you that GW doesn't give a fuck and changes shit on a whim.Also the Terminus Decree shit is a perfect example because the 10th edition GK codex completely up-ends a massive fucking plotline in the BL's Horus Heresy series. Which shows that GW does not care about BL or what it writes.
>>96430810NTA.The Siege of Terra makes mention of the Terminus Decree, which Basilio Fo created at the behest of the Custodes. It was a bioweapon designed to kill all transhumans (Primarchs, Space Marines, and Custodes).
>>96430733>BL books help sell entire GW mini ranges by themselves,Yeah, lots of people are rushing to buy miniatures such as severina raine and minkia lesk!
>>96430771He's going to sell out because a space marine character model you absolute stupid FUCK! Not because everyone read his BL novel(s) and are huge fans of his fucking stupids you stupid SHIT!FUCK, tired of the morons who infest these threads!
>>96430804>Yet GW makes BL pump more booksBecause they only exist so they have an excuse to sell plastic.Writing those books is basically free for GW. They just write that shit because they know that gullible fucks like you will buy it and swallow all diarrhea quality writing in it hook, line and sinker and then go for seconds.
Painting up a necron lordthe galaxy is RIGHTFUL necrontyr clay.
>>96430815don't forget the Vaults of Terra series, the actual best Inquisition novels and not the 40k Firefly bs of the overrated Eisenhorn books
>>96430831Hello Chris Wraight!
>>96430829>>96430823Seems to me that you just hate BL rather than arguing from a factual, objective position.What sells 40K is the fluff/lore. This is what sets it apart from the other TT games. IF BL is the main engine of pumping out atm, then it's the most important part of GW atm.
>>96430800I'm not confusing him, i will replace his bare head with an MK7 helmet, and leave the MK10 helmet in the sprue. Simple as that. Same with the sculpted U-shoulderpad. it will get replaced by something else entirely. Not that hard to grasp i think
>>96430815>see?>these few nuggets of gold within a mountain of shit proves that BL is good
>>96430837>pic relatedI am a lorefag, but still find these posts amusing.
>>96430831>hating Firefly>hating Eisenhorn>not thinking Firefly in 40k is amazingVaults of Terra is good, but the writing is quite boring at times.
>>96430840>What sells 40K is the fluff/lore.How many miniatures have you bought?
>>96430823Wrong, it proves the oppossite when they rewrote and re-released the Dark imperium trilogy in coordination with the 9th ed. Otherwise they wouldn't have bothered, and they would have never mentioned it again, like wiht the Ynnari books.>>96430824Besides even lorefags having about of complaints about the canonicity of parts of TEATD, at no point that bioweapon is called the Terminus Decree, that's reddit headcanon
>>96430852I bought a T'au Kill Team.A T'au commander.The Vespids Kill Team vs Scions box.Daughters of Khaine minis and the Treefolk boxes for AoS.
>>96430862Show me photos of these models, lorefag.
Alright, squat fans. Justify this.
>>96430852nta, but tons of them. I wouldn't buy shit if the lore didn't sold me on them. Not everybody is a crayon eater paintfag like you, most people actually never paint shit, but they still like and buy the models because of their background and lore.
>>96430840I am arguing from an objective position.Objectively speaking, BL stories are not particularly interesting, they are not particularly well written either and the bits of revenue they generate is pocket lint for GW. And only reason for BL to exist is to serve as tie-in-fiction which might as well be fanfiction considering that GW has 0 interest to actually control or police what the writers are doing.>What sells 40K is the fluff/loreWhat 40k sells is plastic toysoldiers. Go read any of their annual reports, all of them are free to look through on GW's own website and you can find them by googling.
>>96430872>votann are just tyranids but for rockSo grim, much dark

>>96430872should've just given them the rocks
>>96430872>votrannies turn out to be mega space jewsabsolute pottery
>>96430874yeah and they learn about the background and lore from starter sets, codices and online. not by buying a dozen BL books, cocksucker!
>>96430872What are you talking about? Since when does anyone have to justify doing the right thing?
>>96430692Nice is he for the collage?
>>96430876>What 40k sells is plastic toysoldiers.Plenty of companies are doing plastic toysoldiers. More than ever actually. And yet, what sets GW apart from pretty much all of them, is the big and actually fleshed out universe, with hundreds of novels. Take Infinity for example. Lots of factions, and they also have 2-3 books and even a few mangas, but thats it. How far can you even delve into such shallow lore? One month, and you have read everything that was ever written for the game, lore-wise. With 40k, you can be sure there is always new books to read, as mediocre as they might be.Its like the Star Wars EU, at its peak.
>>96430872Sorry, they were singing, they simply didn't hear the protestation of sovereignty
>>96430894Gonna be honest, I don't know much about the collage or how to join it

Even if they slip many times, that's a fact.>What 40k sells is plastic toysoldiersand BL helps with that, on top of being a legit product by itself
>>96430862But none of those minis is specifically attached to a black library book, why is that? I thought the books sold the minis?
>>96430906
>>96430890And then they come here, and pretend to know anything about the lore. From codices of all places. LOL
>>96430910My fondness for the T'au began with the Fire Warrior video game and novel, though. That's how I discovered 40K.
>>96430899>yeah, no way that these books are responsible for an entire GW mini product line, nobody read them anywayok, retard
>>96430902Thing is, there are no games with those 4 things combined:>plastic>as old as 40k>not much lore>still aliveEver wondered why?
>>96430898You just gotta finish a model of our chosen theme in a month and submit it in reply to collageanons anchor posts. Deadline for the character collage is midnight tomorrow.

>>96430920Post the original post where that guy uploaded that picture and him saying it was not worth reading
>>96430872>>96430906>>96430914Votann codex lore sucks, and they don't have BL books to compensate for it and their miniatures schizo design. So they don't sell as well as they should, nor they're popular among the fanbase.QED
>>96430914
>>96430920>owning theselol
>>96430920dawn of war alone brought more people to the hobby than all BL books combines lmao
>>96430927>>96430931I just got that pic from ebay to illustrate my point, I prefer epubs
>>96430923Ah shit, I gotta keep an eye out for an anchorpost then
>>96430910>But none of those minis is specifically attached to a black library book, why is that?It does not need to be named Characters, but sure. Saying "I like the Cadia Stands!" novel, thats why i bought the Minka miniature would be easy. But books absolutely sell models. How many people read the Gaunts Ghosts novels, and decided that Bloodpact is the coolest thing in the world and started some traitor guard conversions. Same with the Storm of Iron book and IW novels in general. They sparked a lot of the IWs current autistic popularity, similar to the NL trilogy that created a big interest in NL CSM (and as slow as GW is.. it made then create the very first plastic upgrade sprue for a chaos legion).
>>96430065Nothing right now but I finished this guy yesterday
>>96430929They have a singular novel by Gav Thorpe.
>>96430938Creating DoW did cost more money than writing all of those books tho. But you are right: Video Games reach way more new people, while the books are more interesting to people who already are in the hobby. I would not read HH or any other BL book if i would not paint and play 40k, but as it is, i really like to let BL audiobooks run while i paint.
>>96430922because 40k was the oldest and the founder effect did the rest
>>96430929Store owner anon said they sell as much as other Xenos but GeeDubs always wants Marines front and center so the lion's share of advertisement, even placement of boxes to incoming shoppers, favors other armies.
>>96430947Necron books have sold tons of necron miniatures, too.Even just people posting about the books and feeding the wiki->loretuber->reddit->4chan pipeline makes BL relevant as fuck for 40k's popularity and awareness (which is priceless free advertising for GW)
>>96430947>But books absolutely sell models.So why haven't you bought models that got sold you by novels?
>>96430956There was some quality competition in the early days, but none of those games evolved into a bigger IP, thats the difference.
>>96430946Dont worry he checks the archives as well so if you cant find the anchorpost just post it in the thread and say that it is for the collage
>>96430930>>96430914>votann are based ancap lol>they're actually chaotic retardedI'm glad Big E wanted to eradicate them, they are subhuman.
>>96430962>but none of those games evolved into a bigger IPBecause they didn't make their minis in plastic.That was the difference.
>>96430925I like the brown elf
>>96430953My condolences>>96430957GW always wants their latest box front and center, marines or not. Ask AoSfags how that has worked out for them
If books sell models, why are some of the best books in the franchise for some of the least popular factions?
>>96429859He was a Krork, wasn't he?>>96429832Horrors of Tzeentch, sculpted by Juan Diaz
>>96430974because you are a retard with a warped idea of what the best books are and what the least popular factions are.
>>96429859Beast Waaagh! was a result of the collective trauma the Orks suffered during the Great Crusade at the hands of humanity.
>>96430963Thanks man>>96430692Hey collageanon, add this to the collage, plz & thank you
>>96430967Big E had no hand in any war or decision making regarding any war against the squats.Their encounter happened very late into the crusade, when the emperor already retreated to do his own shit.If anything the imperium didn't manage to root them out specifically because it fell into infighting.
>>96430974Most people have so low attention spans that they dont read or listen to audiobooks, sad but true. Doesn't matter what faction get's a book the effect on sales is minimal.
>>96430969The entire HH mini range was expensive and shitty FW resin for years, and that didn't stop HH fans from having multiple 3000pts armies way before plastics began to be sold.Lore makes or breaks a setting, games, and the success of miniatures. Ask the Game of Thrones guys if you don't believe it
>>96430980Is day of ascension not a great book?Are GSC not one of the least popular factions?
>>96430969They certainly did. Warzone/Mutant Chronicles and AT-43 all had plastic minis.
>>96430974which books?which "least" popular faction?
>>96430972The book is so mediocre, man. If it were actively bad, at least there would be something to rally around.
>>96429859Hack writing.
>>96430987The squats have DAoT technology that they actually improved on for thousands of years. I don't think the Great Crusade could have beaten them.
>>96430990That book was great and it also confirms that people in the Imperium do watch porn even on forgeworlds
>>96430990Maybe it would be even less popular without the book? Some of the best books are about Tau and Guard, and still Space Marines outsell them.
>>96430999Who wins in the book?
>>96430987>blah blah blahecclesiaarchy says they're xenos filth and the emperor approves of their removal from the galaxy
>>96430949I really like how you painted the skin cloak
>>96430998LoV lore is nonsense. They have DAoT tech and nothing of the Martian techpriest religion to stop them, so by M41 they should be like Trek's Federation or The Culture, yet apparently they have been stuck on the same tech level for longer than the Imperium.
>>96430990That book 100% sold more GSC minis. But it's still a very expensive mini range with a high effort barrier to entry.
>>96431003Buy the book and read it to find out. And then start a GSC army.
>>96431008warhammer lore is nonsense
>>96431003I do
>>96431008>same tech level for longer than the Imperiumbecause they respect the ANCESTORS
>>96431004shitposting aside, I think gw would have a good opportunity to detail the new squats as "proper xenos" if their cloning technologies ended up integrating some alien DNA along their ancient history.
>>96430752I read all the books people claim to be the highest of the high.I absolutely despise the ghastly Horus Heresy and Dan Abnett rigamarole. I like the necron books, I loved Lords of Silence, Night Lords trilogy was ass, Cain books are great distraction pieces but you would go insane binging them. So on and so forth overall it's not particularly great or expressive fiction but its the best thing to listen to while driving to work
>>96431003Tyranids ofc.
>>96430994NTA but the Path of the Dark Eldar trilogy is very good too and they're basically non-existent
>>96430990>>96431003You can read it here:https://gofile.io/d/k0iIFk
>>96431030Their baseline cloneskiens already make the DNA so different as to be "proper xenos".
>>96430998Technological superiority only goes so far, the imperium had numbers, impetus and coordination.More than their advanced tech, the squats' main advantage seems to be the entrenched position of the galactic core, almost impossible to navigate effectively to most other factions.
>>96431036That's an old series from when DEldar where at their mini range peak. See?
>>96431040Yeah, but it doesn't have the same gravitas when you remember how wildly different other abhumans also are, so adding that extra grain of taboo would help justifying that sentiment I think, aside from the political reasons to label them as aliens.
>>96430989>was expensive and shitty FW resin no, it was cheap and shitty china recasts
>>96431032>people claim Different people like different things. Some of the best 40k books i've read are never named in these lists or threads, because they fly completely under the radar, either because they are old or about irrelevant factions or because they just meet my personal taste, and others like other things.
>>96431050Votann are clearly not a success among fans, despite GW pushing them.I predict they getting a lore + aesthetics makeover in the future once the current molds are paid for.
>>96430972>Ask AoSfags how that has worked out for themAoSfags I kneel before because they rejected Sigmarines. 40kfags suck up anything Space marine.
>>96431057Which ones? I also like some stories not widely know
>>96431046Dake Eldar still get some of the highest rated and beat selling book releases despite being the least popular faction.
>>96431057I liked Inquisitor and other 90s 40k books even if they didn't have adaptations
>>96431058>Votann are not a success among fans because... because I say so okay!lmao
>>96431063Sigmarine lore sucks and 40k marine lore is great. No further explanation needed even with their retarded and ugy DEI minis
>>96431058>Votann are clearly not a success among fansBased on what?
>>96431067>3 people bought the book instead of 2, best selling!
>>96431043>imperium>coordination
>>96431075>Sigmarine lore sucks and 40k marine lore is greatSigmarine lore is identical to 40k marine lore.You're blinded by marines being a long-standing part of the status quo, like pretending that an old tumor is a normal organ.
>>96431067I found that decent but forgettable. I didn't like that is basically a reset to going back to the pre-Ynnari status quo, and GW doesn't commit to their plot line. But i guess eldar/deldar fans prefer it that way
>>96431088>Sigmarine lore is identical to 40k marine lore.There's loads of overlap for sure but the Venn diagram is not a perfect circle.
>>96431087During the great crusade, yes, definitely, the imperium was very coordinated in its military efforts.
>>96431083It outsold both Elemental Council and Deathworlder
>>96431100That's not a list of sales.
>>96431075>Sigmarine lore sucks and 40k marine lore is great.>40k marine lore is great
>>96431083Those are banger numbers for anything dark eldar related kek
>>96431088>Sigmarine lore is identical to 40k marine lore.
>>96431104No, it's a list of quality. And you said high quality books sell factions.
>>96430930Why is the hylas rifle so cool?
>>96431111>it's a list of qualityand who was the judge?
>>96431105What do you know about 40k marine lore? Nothing but retarded online hot takes and half read codexes from years ago.
>>96431100>It outsold both Elemental Council and DeathworlderYou mean than eldar discord raid rigged votes for the only shitty book about their faction what released after 7 years of silence?
>>96431116The readers of Black Library novels, who are the only demographic that matters for the sake of this discussion. They're all mostly tripe on the grander scale.
>>96431113Everyone knows the best super soakers are the chunky ones.Speaking of, GW should have a line of 40k themed super soakers.
>>96431118Been here long enough to see them as the most overexposed faction with some of the worst writing in all 40k. Not even having so many subfactions makes me think Ultramarinewank or any of the giant inconsistencies, not to mention the HH series being iffy at best, are any credit to their names.
>>96431122>The readers of Black Library novelsThat's what black library claims, without external scrutiny and with plenty of personal interests in making some things appear as more popular/successful/good.
>>96431123>Speaking of, GW should have a line of 40k themed super soakers.so you can run around your backyard and squirt your friends in their mouths right, fatboy?
>>96431088people will hate him for he spoke the truth. Honestly though I managed to find myself reading skaventide and soul wars which is a feat. Only marine books I have finished were the night lord omnibus.
>>96431133
>>96431075>40k marine lore is great
>>96431075This one got the aosfag discord in flames kek
>>96431118What do you know about sigmarine lore? Nothing
>>96431149is the discord in the room with us right now?
Newfriends, there is no need to pretend to like Space Marines here of all places.
I need this in 40k
>>96431152You tell me, aosfag.
>>96431065You should not read them because they are not widely known, but because they are interesting to you.Some i liked, but never saw anyone mention here:>Legacy 2nd book of the Enforcer trilogy. Its officially a book about the Arbites, but it actually is about the succession in a rogue trader dynasty.>Flesh and IronApocalypse Now style jungle warfare (patrol boats play a big role) that leads a regiment of not-catachans to become traitors. Its the 2nd book of the Bastion Wars series, the other 2 are okay, but this one stood out to me for a particular reason i do not want to spoil you if you should read the first two in order. >HarrowmasterI guess this was mentioned here when it was new, because the main character on the cover is black.. Still highly enjoyable AL book.Under the "Horror" label, but within 40k:>SepulturumAn Inquisitor who lost her memory must survive a zombie apocalyse in a hive city >The OublietteImperial nobles scheming and backstabbing each other after the governour dies, and his daugther has to secure her throne. she does so by renewing a pact with the Mandrakes
>>96431160Try again.
>>96431164I actually liked the sumo/fat sigmarines, it gave them a unique identity.
>>96431159That's some terribly impractical shit.You want to be able to grasp your pommel to use a big sword effectively.If you want a second weapon, carry a second weapon.
Discuss shield walls
>>96431172kinda sucks how 40k never goes into space battles
>>96430771They made a novel about the Space Marine 2 nigga?
>>96431170I can't hear you over my superior arms.
>>96431004GW's method of soft reboots means old canon is canon again inside the new canon. I'm not defending this, but explaining what GW's implications are on current canonicity:Squats were originally the reason why Space Marines got their prolific MKIII armor. Unless there's contradictory details inside the votann codex or BL books, the soft reboot would mean votann were a reason why MKIII armor became a thing. Expost facto, Big E and the High Lords of Terra were aware of their existence and at least the High Lords signed off on Total Manlet Death.
Marines a shit
>>96431172I dunno ask /m/
>>96431179The old Squats could easily be an offshoot that died off or disappeared. Most of the current Squats were at the galactic core before recent events dragged them here.
>>96430841Lorefags cannot CONCEIVE of even the simplest of kitbashes, they only know how to CONSOOM
>>96431172CSM should get Breachers >>96431176There's plenty of those in BL books
Hey guys, hope you're all having a nice saturday.The last weekend of august is here and we're fast approaching the deadline. Best of luck to those of you still hard at work on your character, I know you can do it. If you've finished your character model you can submit it here by replying to my post. As always I'll look through the archive too but this is the best way to not get missed. Deadline is midnight the 31st est.Here is the vote for next month's collage:https://strawpoll.com/kogjRWDxqg6There has been some complaints and suggestions about the september vote. Kitbashed character is in the lead to win and some are feeling that it's too close to the current theme and that it should be vetoed for the runner up. I don't like to take decisions like this since I feel the decision should be with the thread but I think I've found a solution that works. I'll change the "kitbashed character" option to a more open kitbash theme where you can submit anything kitbashed. That way the people who wanted to kitbash a character can still do so while those wanting something more fresh also get their way. Feel free to share your thoughts on this, thanks guys.
>TQ It's AoS Path to Glory but>Ogres vs Stormcast.

>>96431187Wrong. Lorefags are the first to resort to custom models to field characters they like, often years before GW bothers to release minis if they ever do it

>>96431276no, that's a meme image making fun of the innuendo between 2 characters.
>>96431186Okay, but it still canonizes the MKIII Power Armor aspect, which happened early enough in the Great Crusade to say that Big E approves of total manlet death. The Ecclesiarchy is correct in taking a look at Votann in 41k and calling them inhuman, because Terra approved Space Marines also came to that conclusion 10k years ago. Votann kill and backstab to feast on ore like leeches, at the behest of Abominable Intelligence.

>>96431293The Great Crusade doubtlessly killed resisting human factions like the Interex anyway. Sufficiently mutated humans might've been chalked up as xenos, either on purpose or by accident, and the Imperium just barely makes them a footnote. If it's like older lore, then the Imperium singed a truce because it wasn't worth fighting them but it's the Imperium and doubtlessly don't care about honoring truces for xenos and heretics.
>>96431295>says while posting a meme image of a character and a legion nobody would care about if it wasn't by his great books most self aware antiBL fag
Aos sucks lmao
>>96431313uhhh anon, you may wanna see how far you explode...
>>96431300No, that's just a buzzword you parrot without understanding its meaning.Your opinions are the slop, unironically

>>96431330>vodka runeswho cares
>>96430226>>96430229>>96430395this is just you fighting yourself and calling yourself a fag
>>96431296How the hell would you know it is well written when you haven't read any of the other shlock to compare it to.Also in general thinking that BL is good because you happened to read 1 book that was OK in your opinion, is peak idiocy.It's like only ever playing Fallout NV and based on that judging Bethesda to be a good game developer.

Never said that? I said that Deathworlder is good
>>96431345Fine cast? Throw it in the garbage and buy the plastic kit instead.
>>96431307no, half swording would have you use some part of the weapon, generally the pommel or cross guard, as a hammer, or to direct the pointy part of the sword to better stab joints in armours.What the dark eldar use has not bludgeoning part or stabby part, at best you could argue they use the hook at the end of the weapon as a pick.
>>96431328>n-nuh uh, you don't get itI'm calling it slop because it is slop. Ie. Shittily made garbage.
>>96429379>Raven GuardYou liar. No one plays those losers
>>96431348You only like it because it became popular thanks to BL books. QED.You're at the shallow end of the fluff pipeline, being influenced even without knowing where it comes from.

>>96429379Based
>>96431358You call it slop because it's nowadays buzzword for stupid people unable to put in words by they don't like something.20 years ago, if you were alive, you'd have called it "gay" for the same reason.You're just a worthless NPC

>>96431376*tips fedora* So enlightened good sir
>>96430695The shame of it is that while BL isn't good and often outright fucking bad, they've deliberately made the Codices leagues worse in an attempt to get people to like BL more.
>>96431352Ghastly rigamarole
>>96431369leverage for what, if your sword is some weird klingon shit?
>>96431394>they've deliberately made the Codices leagues worse in an attempt to get people to like BL more.where is your documentation?
>>96431404>leverage for whatFor whatever you need. To block and parry a blow. Get in close and wrestle your opponent to the ground.
>>96431394>they've deliberately made the Codices leagues worse in an attempt to get people to like BL more.And even still the codexes are better and less retarded. Which is honestly impressive.
>>96431352Wowza, a web of shlock.
>>96431319You are understating the magnitude of the conflicts that required power armor innovation. Sieging legions would have been sent to deal with squats, meaning IF, IW, and DG. Protracted warfare with excessive resources expended to the point that the Mechaniucm "innovated" for material efficiency would have been signed off by higher command (Terra).Interex is a non sequitur. Horus, as Warmaster, was acting outside of consensus by engaging in diplomacy. And in return, the culture's unprotected artefact slit his throat.
>>96431352Where are all the iron hands novels?
>>96431445No, they are not going by the reaction to Black Templars and Grey Knights dexes
>>96430534Nobody asked you to project your fetishes
>>96431394>while BL isn't good and often outright fucking badWrong, that's just meme shit parroted by lorelets trying ot fit in. A mix of old CS Goto books with eldarfags seething at Gav Thorpe, and literal trannies angry because the lore says they can't be space marines>>96431445Codexes and campaign books are either the same or worse in every way than BL books.You haven't read either, anyway
>>96431464who?
>>96431469don't forget femstodes in their codex while the latest custodes story reinforces they were all men made to work along Sisters of Silence. Written by ADB, btw
>10 models that all have completely different weapons>10th edition weapon profilesare these guys even going to be in 40k actual. are they all just going to have 'deathwatch ranged weapon' and 'deathwatch melee weapon', or are they going to be a character squad or something? either way its going to suck
>>96431500>while the latest custodes story reinforces they were all menIt mentions what, two, three custodes?It doesn't say anything about the sex of the custodes as a whole, just that those specific named ones were men. Meanwhile femstode Tyrith got a full half hour animation babysitting her angry, mute girlfriend.
>>96431533remember when that episode was meant to be the sister of silence episode?
>>96431369The hell is up with the left dude’s arms?
>>96431523They'll be chaos chosen
>>96431533
>>96431523>10They will be sold in boxes of 5.
>>96431582Based retard
>>96431533>It doesn't say anything about the sex of the custodes as a wholeyes it does, it continues to show Custodes as a male-only brotherhood made to be paired with female-only SoS. Same as in the Master of Mankin or the Carrion Throne books. Or the other BL books.The only outliers are the 10th ed codex and that animation
>>96431592the KT box has 2 identical sets of 3 sprues and each with 5 guys. You're the retard
>>96431289Damn the Khan is fine
>>96431582so what. even if it's 'pick one option from each pose' that's still 5 different weapon profiles
>yeah my terminators with powerfists hit on 2s with full rerolls to hitI fucking hate this shitgetting sweeping advanced is more fun than this.
>>96431649>i know it hits / wounds on 2s / 3s, but im going to reroll everything to fish for lethals / dev woundsthis shit needs to be removed from the game immediately, if its a successful roll it shouldnt be able to be rerolled, its faggotry of the highest order and im sick of it
>>96431595>Or the other BL books.BL doesn't matter. It's pulp and filler.Codexes are the primary lore and only things that matter.
>>96431555i simply can't see james giving a unit that many weapon profiles in 10e. they hate complicated weapon profiles
Play Necrofinity.
>>96431678it feels like everything is good and nothing has a downside, and that the only counter is specifically X weaponsi'm also probably playing it with the wrong mindsetsay I fight those terminators in an older edition, they get the same number of attacks, their strength is basically the same, hell they're also technically more powerful as they'll ignore all armoursaves due to AP2but they have 2 big downsidesfirst is unwieldy, they can be killed before they strike (a lower WS on a unit DOES NOT make up for this, especially if they can mitigate it)secondly is weapon skill, if they're fighting a unit of comparable WS (i.e 4) they're hitting on 4sthat goes from hitting 11-12 out of 12 attacks (2+ to hit with rerolls is like a 96% chance) to only hitting 6, lethality is significantly reduced even if I dont get a save
>>96431595you are autistic dedication to this narrative mirroring is pathetic and embarrassing to watch
>>96431684Wrong, discord tranny. Codexes are the throaway books to get Timmy to play his chosen faction. BL books are where their real lore lives on.
>>96431723see >>96431731
>>96431595>yes it doesThen post an excerpt or some shit already instead of vagueposting.
>>96431738you thought that post would help you beat the pathetic autist allegations!?
>>96431582This.>>96431592He's right, if you look at the sprues it's 2x5, there are rules for a 2 player co-op, where each player has 1 team of 5.It's a replacement for the DW vets box too.
>>96431747Do your own homework. Here's the epub: https://gofile.io/d/QUGAw8
>>96429247Didn't they all die?
Who the fuck wants "representation" amongst the imperium?>Yes I want to be part of the theocratic fanatical empire, I love hatred and religious zealotry
>>96431731>BL books are where their real lore lives on.Yopu mean the lore which gets forgotten once book/series ends?
>>96431763do you think ironicposting like a faggot hipster from a decade ago makes you smart instead of an obvious seething retard?
>>96431800
>>96431703everything has to die immediately in 10th or the game becomes an unplayable slog. it also makes mathammer "players" feel good to spreadsheet up lethal combos easily.the game won't be fixed until they go back to 1000 point games that can fit on a 6x4 board. and remove all rerolls.
>>96431788nobody remembers or can buy slightly old 40k campaign books. Meanwhile even BL haters remember BL books from 15 years ago.
>>96431785>no I didn't read it either but I swear it said-Weak bait
>>96430872Those minerals were promised to the Kin 30,000 years ago
>>96431807
>>96431731BL slop is tranny-coded, especially HH. Plenty of niggers and dykes, and HH especially caters to the resenters of fathers demographic. That's why they like Curze so much, they understand statistics and their eventual fate.
>>96431787It's some weird power game. They actually want nor care about representation. It's all just to own le chuds
>>96431813>nobody remembers or can buy slightly old 40k campaign books.Kinda sucks since i would like getting the Gathering Storm fall of cadia book
>>96431785I read that story and I know it doesn't affirmatively state that the banana guards are all male, contrary to what you allege. I'm inviting you to prove me wrong since you said it actually does say something about the sexes of the custodes. I'm not even disagreeing with the idea that the custards and the SoS were intended to constitute a thematic dichotomy. But you are lying to support your case.
>>96431813>Meanwhile even BL haters remember BL books from 15 years ago.Yeah unlike BL writters.>suddenly Bile forgot about his New Men project and became obsessed with making marines as good as Cawl
>reading Legion right nowIs this book good? Its really slow to start. Im not super into Alpha Legion to begin with but if they all call each other Alpharius how do they communicate in combat? >Alpharius I need you to lay covering fire in quadrant Zeta while Alpharius infiltrates the west gate and assassinates the guard to open the fortress so Alpharius can drive the rhino through with the rest of our brothers
Killer Croc looking mofo
>fucking price hikes again
>>96431844
>>96431821>Warhammer... Has changed.>It's an endless series of proxy battles, waged by retards and machines
>>96431834You dumbass that's the result of the conclusion of his trilogy. Slaanesh brainwashed him.
>>96431611You've never bought any 10 marine box in history I guess
>>96431844>>96431851>record profits>raises prices
>>96431649Imagine whining about one of the worst units in the game
>>96431824I don't disagree. btw, here's all the Gathering Storm books for you:https://gofile.io/d/UsB1ZE
>>96431856>suddenly Slaanesh isn't deity of wicked perfectionism and depravity>it's not deity of making new marinesOkay lol
>>96431865dude just wait for it to trickle down
>>96431844>>96431851GW does this because it's the only way can ensure that line goes up since that's what the investors demand.
>>96431834>suddenly Bile forgotIf you had read those books, you'd know it's a prequel set millenia before M41 to explain how he became the baddie in the codexes
>>96431863I have no clue what you're talking about, my ten marine boxes have three unique sprues. One for legs, one for torsos and heads, and one for arms.
>>96431871so everything else is better than that?thanks for proving my point on how the game sucks
>>96431875I do already have pfd's of them. I would like having them as physical books however. Thanks anyway
>>96431851Link? Or inspect element?
>>96431856Aah, so the conclusion to the trilogy is that none of it ever mattered and the characters motivations and personality will be changed at a whim?Good to know.
>>96431888Nothing at the end of his book series says that his sole purpose in life now cook marines for Abby.
>>96431851>>96431882This is a mix of the UK's economy going down the shitter, and GW being assholes about the US tariffs and making the entire world subsidize retarded yanks
>>96431851Seriously how much longer can they do this? I've noticed it is starting to take several days for the army boxes to sell out instead of the usual hours. So either GW is overproducing, warhammer is loosing popularity or people are getting priced out
>>96431877It's trickling alright, we're getting pissed on while they swear it's only rain
>>96431903Well maybe if the US didn't subsidise your national sovereignty we wouldn't be asking for reciprocity.
>>96431903Also true.But it's unfortunately true that all publicly traded companies nowadays are just>"The line MUST go up, or otherwise we sack you as the CEO."
>>96431917>Well maybe if the US didn't subsidise your national sovereigntyI doubt anon posting from Israel
>>96431905>Warhammer is loosing popularity Don't make me dream like that

>>96431815>0 downloadsyeah>>96431831>debate meeeeADBs story is clear as day and say the same as the Chris Wraigh books. if anything, it's possible it was delivered to GW before somebody got away with the femstodes thing
>>96431924the "X new box is a flop" narrative is something the raiding discord has been trying to push for a while
>>96431917Your country is a puppet state, don't pipe up.
>>96431903>GW being assholes about the US tariffsHow do you figure? Unless I'm missing something it'll be the US customer base that absorbs the cost of the tariffs.
>>96431893It's inspect element. Will they raise price again. Yes. Are they raising prices right now. No
>>96431787Because then they can say>Even the heckin imperium says trans rites (in between grinding you into starch for asking to work 23 hours a day instead of 23.5 hours), so why can't YOU, chudcel?!
>>96431924I do think warhammer peaked in popularity between 2020 and 2022 and has been slowly loosing popularity. It is still insanely popular thanks to the space marine 2 but the model side of the hobby isn't as popular especially after normies realized you actually have to build and paint the minis yourself
>everyone else is raising their prices but gw isn't, they're so based Kek & lel
>>96431922Lel, can't even be mad. >>96431936And yours maintains its borders because we've taken the place of your military >inb4 I'm not from the EU I'm from some third world (in the actual definition of the term) shitholeThen sure, but seems like a bigger self own to admit that.
>>96431970>And yours maintains its borders because we've taken the place of your military>TACOs in front of the Russia>pulls out troops from SEA and EU>his prime waifus, Putin and Xi still ignores himAlso, how is Ozempic prices, my dear "certainly not third worlder, who doesn't require to ask bank for loan to visit dentist"?
>>96431935Boxes can't be flops since GW only produces a small number.>>96431952It's on life support for me, it's a real hassle trying to find a kit I can work with.I wouldn't be surprised if 40k stagnates, but hey the profit's going up for now so it might as well never go down.>>96431957Which dumb fuck said that?
>>96431917Wrong, I'm not from Israel(do jews even play 40k?)
>>96431905Boxes sold out quickly because of scalpers. GW has been instigating measures behind the scenes to cut down on this, and it's allegedly working.
>>96432065How does this align with GW sending very few numbers of the new KT box to stores?
>>96431938The US goverment is trying to force foreign goverments to collect the tariffs for them, which of course is retarded and the reason several countries have said they will stop sending packages to the US for now.But the US is half of GW's market. So they're going to raise prices everywhere to offset the big raise in US prices because they don't want to lose all. Effectively, everytime you by GW you'll be making richer the Orange man and his cronies (You can bet the tariffs money is not going into the US coffers)
>>96431952>after normies realized you actually have to build and paint the minis yourselfthat's the eternal 40k noon churn cycle since 1987, nothing changes except the amount of them
>>96432065>it's allegedly workingThe new box dissapeared under my nose while I was paying for it in their website, so I doubt it.
>>96430104If they gave the battlewagon the option to mount a pair of kustom mega-kannons instead of more heavy shootas that'd be coolOr something better than a killkannonInstead it feels like they want your "tanks" to be your walkers instead
>>96432141A tanky, heavy deff dread would be fun too
>>96432171There used to be a mega deff dread sold by FW, which makes me think there might be legends rules
>>96432171A Deff Dread that got his legs shot out from under him and a Mek replaced them with tank treads and heavier armor sounds like a proper orky patch jobI would post a picture of Guntank but we're out of images
>>96432208Yeah, but I don't even mean a bigger one, just a bulkier more heavily armored one. Maybe give it 4 legs too.
>>96431935I don't need some trannoid discord to tell me an AoS starter flopped.
>>96429295I like colourful space wolves.
