Anyone started on their kitbash?
>>96445590Yerp
>>96445593show
>TQI guess something pink for thousand sons, though it'd look weird.
>>96445590Yes. Greenstuffing bones and flames next.
>>96445596Issa old one, but I'm excited to get him started
Poorhammer talk about every CSM model>Abaddon (2019)>"Absolutely great model, so good">Lord Discordant (2019)>"What a great model">Legionaries and Havocs (2019)>Good models, look solid>Forgefiend (2012)>"This model can literally sell you CSM">Chaos Terminators (2019, came out the same day as Abaddon, Havocs and Legionaries)>"OMG these are so old, they need a replacement">"They are definitely showing their age">Suggest to proxy them with HH Cataphractii that are older and smallerAre they retarded?
>>96445603LmaoI can't wait for the schizo to freak out every time this one is posted
>>96445608You're the one watching them, you tell me, retard.
>>96445590very rough fit together of piecesAbsolutely going to get a new tabard now that i know where it needs to be filed to fit the leg.I may try and greenstuff it instead but i have never done a tabard before.
>>96445608>is [40k youtube channel] retardedYeah.
>>96445610It'll happen, just give it a few hours lmao
>>96445584>tsonsI had a potential color scheme of off-white armor, gold trim, w/ pearlescent shoulderpads and red gems atop marble basesI abandoned the idea as I would go completely insane after the very first model but the idea persists
>>96445608tbf the new loyalist terminators kinda make them look like shit. Also the furs and shit does make them kinda hard to convert/customize. To REALLY sum up the issue with the terminators, they are chaos space marine terminators, they're black legion terminators.
>>96445608being dipshits is part of the charm>Forgefiend (2012)damn time flies
Awoo with me sisters!
>>96445624>they're black legion terminatorsthat's an issue with basically all chaos sculpts in general, unless you run word bearers / black legion / corsairs you kinda need to kitbash a lot to match the feel you're going for
This thread will be conqured for chaos.
>>96445602Are you making a legion of the damned marine?
>>96445639That's the plan.
>>96445608the worst take I've heard from them is they insist you should never ever magnetize models (30 seconds drilling holes to double the value of your model is a waste) and yet everyone has no excuse to own an airbrush
>>96445659There are some things that just aren't worth magnetizing. chaffs retard tier sub elite is questionable Elite elite like terminators and chosen, you probably have some justifications (although there is also shit light 8bound and crisis suits where no one can identify shit any ways so who cares) and then you have your centerpiece models.
>>96445610in all fairness we have seen this and the one next to it for months
>>96445667>>96445659Common soldiers arent worth it. Squad leaders usually are very worthy of magnetizing.
>>96445590yeah gonna try some new techniques with this one
>>96445667>crisis suits where no one can identify shit any ways so who caresBut xv8 crisis suits have been the poster child of magnitsing everything for over 2 decades now.
Guard bros, how're you holding up?
>>96445682also should i go with the banana helmet or bare face?
>>96445683>xv8 crisis suits have been the poster childPoster child of being reduced to nothing after being the victim of a post enema liquidation maybe. Seriously though I dont think anyone but people who play the army even recognize their wargear for tau.
do people really finish 2000pts games in under 3 hours?
>>96445684working on some dudesmen
>>96445696Heavily dependent on the types of armies everyone is playing, but it does happen when both players are experienced and know how to move quickly through resolution
>>96445667>>96445677its not even about rulesfagging wyswygGW loves dual build kit that massively change the aesthetic of a modeli could turn to my lgs and say "all my exocrine count as harupsex today" and nobody would give a shitbut it way cooler to actually play with the sick ass exploding head mouth monsterthere also plenty of models worth magnetizing exclusively for transportI played a game against knights with monster mash and every time his big dudes killed something i could plug an arm or head of my model and put on the knights base as he claimed trophies, magnets are hobby kino.
>>96445590It's been sitting on the shelf for so long, I painted 10 Genestealers, 10 Metamorphs, Acolyte Iconward and a Ridgerunner in the meanwhile. Just basecoated the carapace of my Patriarch last night, I hope I can do both in time.
>>96445628Awoo
>>96445659they're magic the gathering podcasters who chased a bigger audience in 9th edition. becomes very clear how little they know about the hobby whenever they have guests on the show.
>Can I finish this army in 24 hours?>Can I paint this model in 1 hour?>Can I kitbash this box in 6 hours?Why do so many people get into 40k when they hate the hobby?
>>96445696My last 1000pts game took about 4 hours.
>>96445712paid promotions for speedpainting products.
When new model reveals?
>>96445691Really? the only time i've had people mistake a crisis suits' weapon was a missile pod and smart missile sistem, but those do look similar.
>>96445715>speedpaintingdo people really?
>>96445721What's wrong with speed paints? I like using them for washes and coloured metalics.
>>96445715>SPEEDPAINT MARKERS>ARE THEY REVOLUTIONARY>OR ARE THEY SHIT>THESE MARKERS ARE GAME CHANGING
>>96445731Speed painting isn't speed paints
>>96445735so like batch painting?
>>96445719Next month on scary month
>>96445712setting deadlines and defining efficient paint schemes are the enemies of every pile of shame way too many people are bogged down by indecisiveness and perfectionism, and procrastinate on painting their models for months which end up stretching into years if not decades it's a serious plague to the community, even to people who actually like painting the additional thing being that painting is not the only part of the hobby either
>forgot to turn my air compressor off after painting session>woken up at 3am by it firing up
>>96445739No, batch painting is painting multiple models at once, which is pretty normal if you want to have the same colors on multiple models.
>>96445740Here's hoping
>>96445741>Craftworld Boo'bies
>>96445719
>>96445742>I bought a lot of kits but I don't like to paint
>40k local group is a bit slow recently, few games>Old fren come back into 40k>He has huge armies like me but likes small games>Ask if anyone wants to play Combat Patrol on the group chat>I say yes>Suddenly all want to play Combat PatrolTomorrow evening we have 4 tables reserved for Combat Patrol. We should be 8 or 9 people.
>>96445758Have fun, what army are you going to play? I wish Combat Patrol didn't suck ass though. I don't know shit about AoS but people swear by how good the Spearhead is, I hope we get something similar in the 11th.
>>96445758Noice
>>96445758Hell yeah, what do you plan on running?
>>96445755yeah, many people buy a lot of kits because they like the idea of a painted army or the just to play games, and painting is something they feel they have to do or get around.The passion for painting itself is, paradoxically, an unfortunately scarce thing in warhammer fans.
>>96445584Please help with Drukhari list:>3 Archon>1x7 Beastmaster>2x10 Kabalite Warriors>1x5 Wracks (I just think they're neat)>1x4 Court of Archon>1x10 Incubi>2x5 Mandrakes>2x5 Scourges>1 Cronos>2 Ravager>3 Raider>3 Venoms
>>96445636Isn't that Dorn's anime girl?
>>96445636>>96445776it’s to show you’re a zoomer who keeps posting the same thing
>>96445770When I was a kid I was terrible at crafts, my hands were shaky and my patience low. My colorschemes were dubious at best.So I didn't buy stuff and I sticked to reading the magazines and codices.When I got older, I gave painting another shot, I had taken art classes in highschool since then, and I found I was much better at painting just from being older.I didn't have much technique, but it was a night and day difference. So I allowed myself to get some kits.If I really want to play a game I can always ask a friend and we can always use cutouts or tokens.So I'm really confused about people who spend a lot of money on model kits they don't like interacting with, to play a game with people who apparently require you to have the models to enjoy the game.It feels very backwards to me.
>>96445778>carnacIsn't it lamentersfag?
>>96445684gonna be honest, stopped playing guard for awhile now. my win record with them is like sub 20%, the worst of all my armies and I'm not sure if the run minimum 3 dorns or you lose meta is for me.
>>96445762Me and him used to be mainly AoS guys.We now play only Spearhead instead of the main game, and it's absolutely great.The only downside is that you need the specific set of table and cards, it's like its own game mode, while Combat Patrol just need half a table of 40k and that's it.>>96445765Not sure yet. I played Combat Patrol before but only when I had a table at different comicbook fairs, so most of my attention was into explaining the game and hobby to random people.I know there are 6 missions on the pdf on the WarCom site, but is there more? Suggestions?
>>96445797>they don't like interacting withassembling models and playing with unpainted models is still interacting with the kits you bought and some people evidently like that enough
>>96445805Are there people who like assembling models but not painting them?They remove mould lines and glue models but draw a line at the brush?
>>96445812>Are there people who like assembling models but not painting them?that's me
>>96445789How dare there be zoomers in my thread.
>>96445774You have 3 venoms that are gonna be filled with only Kabalites and that is a very expensive combo for very little output.
>>96445812me, except I prime my built models
>>96445814One day we'll have pre painted models.
i do not care for custodes.
>>96445812Apparently.
>>96445590>Anyone started on their kitbash?I'm going to try something with a Predator, but if it doesnt pan out I have a Big Mek I cobbled together I've been meaning to paint
>>96445812Me, I like assembling and playing but painting is something that I need to get around first. I'm at 1400pts of painted models currently and I don't want to paint another 40 Neophytes that's worth only 290pts in total.
>>96445823>Grey Knights>chads
I think I keep losing games of 10th because I have the mindset of an older editionI build lists as if they're in a FOCI assume unit effectiveness is how they were in older editions and thus less dangerous than they actually areI don't sweat because the game was more casual back then
>>96445830>anon>straight
>>96445834>ghey knights>not seething
>>96445839>cuckstodes>not dying to harlequins
>>96445823>MY SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE IS LESS MARY SUE THAN YOUR SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE
>>96445833Probably are more in the "kill the enemy" mindset instead of the "score points mindset"
>>96445821>>96445824>>96445828I asked questions the answers of which I didn't wish to learn.Oh, pain, oh vengeful truths, why do I hurt me so?Knowledge is a curse that cannot be lifted, an illness never cured.
>>96445840>if you think grey knights are shit then you MUST like cuckstards are good!Lmao, you're just as retarded as your favorite faction
>>96445822GW could technically start that business right now:>set up a bunch of 3d printers>use the same stl files of the models or sprues>use differently colored resins to print said files already with multiple colors >sell them for premium prices and produce them only on orderit would impact their normal production only if they made them too cheap, overprice this enough and it will allow them to use it to hook in the pigs who would never pick up a brush otherwise, while still selling the normal products because they're relatively cheaper and more available
>>96445812Painting is the part I hesitate on the most since I kinda suck at it, yeah.
>>96445758Combat Patrol may not be as good as AOS Spearhead, but it's still awesome. I wish more people enjoyed it.
>>96445847>printersThe old farts at GW will neverYou'll sooner see them use the same tech the japs are using with their gundams, especially when an ultramarine is like 4 colors.
>>96445846>doesn't have a favourite faction>decides to join in to a factions shitflinging to feel included
>>96445819So fewer Venoms? Pick an extra squad of incubi to put in the third? I've been suggested to cut 2 squads of kabalites apart to make one mad squad of special weapons only.
>>96445851>You'll sooner see them use the same tech the japs are using with their gundamsI don't agree, the differently colored parts on an average Warhammer design are way more spread out, and smaller than conveniently isolated like in gundam kitsI could see them going from bare grey plastic to a colour fitting the faction (blue for marines, purple for nids etc) like they do in some starter sets, but otherwise that sounds pretty impossible at this scale
>>96445843i dont play either, i paint iron hands, admech and nids.its just that i hate banana boys.
>>96445864based.
>>96445823cuntstodes, gay knights, soilent sisters, deadwatch and fieri marines should all be under the same codex: imperial agents
>>96445849My problem with Combat Patrol is the fixed wargear.My people have a Combat Patrol box, but many didn't "built it right" for playing Combat Patrol.Some people built Tormentors instead of Infractors, almost everybody have Legionaries with chainsword instead of bolters, etc.Newcomers just randomly build what they think it's cool.Why artificially limit it? Just let us use everything inside the box.
>>96445869Many*
>>96445608Oh yeah poorhammer are profoundly retarded. But the peak of their retardation was the Votrans paint scheme they made
>>96445706>no bulge
Bow this is how Kayvaan Shrike should have looked like.
>>96445881I kinda prefer shrike to this kike desu. I still think this is the only angle this model can potentially look good in.
>>96445865the downside is getting black paint all over your hands
>>96445822Won't work for me because I like assembling, sculpting, converting and kitbashing. Prebuilt and prepainted models would be utterly worthless for me since they would be devoid of hobbying aspect which is the only reason I care for tabletopPrepainted but not prebuild models wouldn't change anything for me anyway due to me kitbashing everything. I just clip all bits from any sprue and then sort them into bit boxes. And then assemble whatever I need out of this. And I'm too contrarian to play posterboy factions anyway.I will paint my models... just not today...
>>96445887ive only just started doing kitbashing but its way more fun than i thought it would be, its actually put me more on the fence of starting a 40k alpha legion CSM
>>96445774Is this for Reaper's Wager or Skysplinter? I'm guessing the later based on the number of transports. Venoms are very good in Skysplinter but you're missing a few key combos. You don't really need a third archon to lead just Kabalites. You'd get a lot more mileage out of Lelith and ten Wyches.
>>96445854I do, it's just neither of those bottom dwelling Marines+ factions.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96445884Have to disagree.Shrike's current model is abysmal, compared to his previous one, and Aethon's one looks more like it (if you ignore all the unnecessary junk, like the cherubs).
>>96445896it's either guard or nids, i'm calling it now.
>>96445892Yeah it is Skysplinter, I don't want to collect Harequin as well. (for now).
>>96445608Not retarded, just lazy. They badly researched and think CSM Terminators are from 5th edition. And with that wrong info, barely looking at them, and let it influence their opinions as old and outdated.
>>96445903>>96445881Did Shrike have to give up the power claws when he stepped down or does Atheon have his own?
>>96445584Having a stressful job with long hours, all I want from the game is to shut my brain off and just roll some dices. I don't expect to win often (as it should be - smart play should be rewarded), but I don't want to lose every time either. Local player base is mixed - there are some chill guys, waac tryhards and everyone in between (didn't play 40k with them - just observed their 40k games and played boardgames with most of them). I'm not gonna argue over everything even with tryhards anyway - if someone wants to shoot at a corner of the flag on the model - fuck if I care.So, my question is - what is the most chill, brain-dead to play army composition or detachment that wouldn't also lose 7 games out of 10?
>>96445590I was actually wondering. Does the kitbash have to be made this month or can you paint a previous kitbash?
>>96445916Kitbash can have been started before, painting has to be this month
>>96445916You can paint an old kitbash if you want.
>>96445608It's mostly Brad being retarded but yeah.
>>96445907Atheon definitely has his own; a newer (primaris) model.>Did Shrike have to give up the power claws when he stepped downMost likely and GW forced him to
>>96445929Curiously, Shrike's store page still calls him Chapter Master of the RG.
>>96445887I didnd't say prebuilt
>>96445590Nope. I just know I'll kitbash pic rel to be the teleporter homer for my terminators. I do not know how to yet.Yeah, my contribution will litterally just be a decorative token mini.
>>96445886Where are these pads from?
>>96445907he still has the clawson feet too
>>96445916>>96445917>>96445918lame excuse to use your shitty 10 month old poorly converted damien model, why ask yourself for permission to do anything?
>>96445941
A Kinhost from the Leagues of Votann rolls up to /your dudes/ homeworld/base of operations and they say basically this (picture related).How do /your dudes/ react?
>>96445946>redesign lightning claws>only include them in a character and a BT squadThanks?
>>96445845I don't mean I play with a graytide army, I abhor the idea but painting takes a lot of time and while I know it's a skill you develop over time I paint let's say at a 4/10 at most. So spending a lot of time on a thing that's subpar at best barely gets me any gratification and acts as barrier to actually play the game. This my 80th something model that I painted and there's definitely an improvement from the last year compared to my first ones.I just need to keep painting and painting but yeah, I could be painting right now but I don't.
>>96445948Make them lose more than they could ever gain
>>96445948>You want to be squatted a second time?

>>96445948>How do /your dudes/ react?We fight.We win because I am biased in favor of /mydudes/.And because a chaos codex mentions that a splinter group from the Iron Autists has overrun and taken over some Kinholds after bootyblasting their kynholes out.>Codex: Chaos Space Marines (10th Edition), pg. 18 (if I recall correctly).

We are not going anywhere.Although we are not using the whole thing, you could set up on the other side, and we'll cross that bridge once you used it up. We'll show you the right spots even, and we can we can do a little cultural exchange in the meantime eh? Come on, what you say?

>>96445989Thanks, I've been trying to fit in 2 Kabalites, because I bought 2 Combat Patrols, but I'll keep them around for 11th edition and add something else then. Incubi are cool, I don't mind having more. Though maybe I want to add some Grotesques.>Alternatively, you can cut 1 archon and squad of Kabs for Lelith and some Wyches.Thanks but my aremies have a strict no girls policy.>>96445998Did not know that. I guess I'll take a second look at Reaper's Wager.

What are you working on right now?Trying to paint heads and failing hard at it
>>96445915Anyone?
>>96446036>>enemy poses no threat whatsoeverhe does, he's a general, hello?
>>96446039I mean it looks kinda cool but an airbrush isnt supposed to be doing this reeee im clearly doing something terribly wrong
>>96445948My dudes headquarters is an Arch Mechanicus.He would be blasted out of time and space
What helmet colour for an ultramarine Captain?
>>96446042>thinking an insect would pose a threat to the great and glorious stormlord
>>96446040>>96445915I'm a fucking noob but rolling a shitton of dice have always been fun for me, so I guess Orks, maybe Tyranids?
>>96446044A reminder that, according to the Silent King novel, not all Arks Mechanicus are genuine. Most, in fact, are fake. Some Admech guys rename their vessels Ark Mechanicus for the prestige.Real Arks are very rare.
>>96446031>Thanks but my aremies have a strict no girls policy.Lol, aren't half your Kabalites female?
>>96446039>>96446043>yet another GSCchad
>>96446046if an army wasn't a threat, he wouldn't be fighting that army, but he was, and the general of that army is something that makes strategic sense to cut offyou cannot pretend this is a logical behaviour, it's an arrogant oneand it's fine for a necron to be arrogant, but then you can't pretend he's hyperlogical or some shit like thatthat would make you the opposite of logical, a retard
>>96446039working on this vindicatornot 100% digging how I've laid out the colours but we'll see how it looks after the wash
>>96445915CSM, Pactbound Zealots. Works with literally any csm force you can imagine, all you need to remember is which unit has which mark and often you'll just pass every dark pact you make and fucking annihilate people because crit 5s is a stupid-ass rule (sometimes you'll instead fail all your dark pacts and kill yourself instead, but that's part of the fun).
>>96446050Yes that was quite a shock when I actually started to assemble them, but luckily the needle file works for gender reassignments.
>>96446055thats the pointhe IS hyperlogical, only armies like chaos or orks piss him off because their strategies do not rely on logichowever he is also arrogant and prideful, one of his biggest flawshe could just kill the person, but he won't because of his pride, like his opponent doesn't deserve to be killed by him and he'd much rather have them run away like a bitch
>>96446054Im just a novice right now, trying to make my neophytes have a red look to them as they are waiting for behemoth to show up, but this fucking airbrush is making me reeee I really dont feel like pulling it apart for the 100th time. An airbrush shouldn't be releasing any paint when the trigger just has air on and not pulled back, right?
>>96446049It's been part of my guy's lore for about a decade that they have no memory of finding it and don't know where it came from. It doesnt want to be left alone again, unable to fulfil its purpose so it's erased a lot of it's own information from the admeh onboard.It's slowly corrupting them and I have been introducing more and more badmech conversions into my forces. It might be real and it might just be a ship that wanted to be called one.
>>96446036When was that lore even written? It's probably early nucrons but I'd rather be sure
how to correctly use blue stuff to make casts of parts?what material should I cast the parts in? i've heard both greenstuff and milliput are good
>>96446075Your Admech got Vashtorr'ed?!
>>96446043>he fell for the "airbrush is easy mode" meme
>>96446084I think you'll get better help and advice on /wip/, can't help you myself
>>96445948>How do /your dudes/ react?With pic related.Then they go to protracted war that lasts like 10 years.
>>96445915Unironically Space Marines or Chaos Space Marines, I'd go for the latter but painting Chaos Trim might be just as stressful as well. Pick CSM, get some Legionnaires and Chaos Lords, some elites, a predator tank and roll with Veterans of the Long War.>>964460674th gen are technically quite human so the red flesh of Behemoth should be very subtle. Use black carapace on the carapace bits and apply some heavily thinned down red wash on the fleshy bits once you paint the skin normally. Increase the strength as you're closer to the Patriarch generation wise.Is it a dual action airbrush? When you press down only air should come out, and paint when you pull it back.
>>96446036Didnt Imotekh end up fleeing his own flagship when Helbrecht did actually come back?I think Imotekh even lost his flagship
>>96446080most likely when he was introduced, so 5th?between 5th and 7th definitely
>>96446094The beginning of the end
>>96446093imotekh decided to act like dave filoni written thrawn that day and go "i've lost the battle and important resources like my flagship? acceptable losses. I olanned for this"
>>96446093Here is the text from an older codex:>Following a five year Crusade of penitence to atone for his defeat, Helbrecht made a pilgrimage to the Phalanx to pray at the hand of Rogal Dorn. There, the Chapter Master came to realize that the loss of his hand was symbolic of his Primarch's sacrifice and a sign from the Emperor. Helbrecht faith returned to him.>Helbrecht, aboard his Battle Barge Sigismund, later sought revenge for his humiliation by attacking Imotekh's Tomb Ship Inevitable Conqueror while in route to Davatas. Boarding Torpedo attacks by the Black Templars succeeded in capturing the ship and Helbrecht and the Stormlord come to blows once more, but this time the Marshal is able to use his rekindled faith to prevail. Realizing the battle is lost, Imotekh teleports to a nearby escort vessel to safety, but not before congratulating Helbrecht on 'one victory apiece'. In a rage that his enemy had escaped, Helbrecht destroyed the Inevitable Conqueror from the inside out.What did Imotekh mean by "one victory apiece"?
>>96446086Yes.I know I'm probably the only person that likes Vashtorr but it gave me an excuse to kitbash lots of cultists I have even more now but heres an old pic
>>96446104I wasnt saying that helboy didnt lose the first one, just that he did actually come back and fuck him up.Then he got beat up by Grimnar lmao
>>96446075That poor guy's neck
>>96446104>There, the Chapter Master came to realize that the loss of his hand was symbolic of his Primarch's sacrifice and a sign from the Emperor. Helbrecht faith returned to him.
>>96446112I may have gone too far in a few places
I been thinking about why the Emperor didn't help Angron and then it stuck me: The Emperor let the ruling class of Nuceria go free because they willingly joined the Imperium. No punishment, no answering for their crimes and possible let to stay as rulers of Nuceria. No way in hell Angron and his men would accept that.
>>96446122Kek
>>96446104>the swarmlord has a fight with calgar and wins>later calgar seeks the swarmlord to duel it again and wins>the stormlord has a fight with helbretch and wins>later helbretch seeks the stormlord to duel him again and winswhy do these stories read like revenge fanfictions? who wrote them?
>>96446127dunno, ask /hhg/
>>96446134>anon learns that space marines are vengeful xenophobes
>>96445628AWOOOO
>>96446142the stuff doesn't write itself, anon
>>96446122>THIS IS MY FAPPIN' ARM
Every faction will be getting a second combat patrol in addition to their first one, it seems
>>96446152No, but GW mandates what gets written.
>>96446134nids are a jobber factions that exist for space marines to kill to show how epic they arenorn emissary was bigged up so the custard that killed it looks extra strongwhen cato gets a model refresh he'll probably go and kill old one eye for reals forever as revenge for macragge or something, then they'll squat OOE
>>96446156GW doesn't micromanage fluff tidbits like these, this is left to the whims of the writers.Multiple writers who clearly have different ideas in mind, and at least one of them evidently cannot stand that a marine has lost a duel.
>>96446158>norn emissary was bigged up so the custard that killed it looks extra strongmission failed then
>>96446155except admech since they couldn't work out how to make the box worse
>>96446162>GW doesn't micromanage fluff tidbits like theseTelling a writer to "write a book about where this X space marine chapter goes after the faction Y that they lost to previously." isn't micromanaging.
Which faction would be the best for a base building game? Considering the popularity of mods like 40k rimworld it is strange gw hasnt tried to make one
>>96446047>>96446057>>96446090Thank you. I expected (but wasn't sure) it would be something like Imp.\Chaos Knights or Custodes. But CSM sounds nice.Painting CSM shouldn't be a problem - it's a brain off activity for me right now, although I paint random miniatures (3d printed ones, some fantasy, kill team bands, etc)
>>96446172And this isn't a "book about where this X space marine chapter goes after the faction Y that they lost to previously".It's a fluff tidbit in the corner of a codex, if this is mandated by some higher up, it IS micromanaging.
>>96446177orks
>>96446182It's not micromanaging to add a small fluff tidbit either.
>>96446179CSM's Combat Patrol box is also fine to start with. The range is super wide with 10 detachments to choose from so you can try out different things.
>>96446117This but it's actually great because delusional religious zealotry
>>96446161
>>96446177fists
>>96446177Both nids and necrons have building/reactivating their respective infrastructures as extremely important parts of their factions, and in both cases this can happen arbitrarily fast and is linked to their own flow of troops and types of troops, you don't have many other instances where the gameplay requirements match the presentation without much compromises or extra justifications.And the two factions are quite the pair of antithetical themes to each other alone too.
>>96446155>>96446170fire discounts in this new patrol, fellas
>>96446188it is if it's mandated by someone higher up instead of it being the whim of the writerin this case it's likely it's the writer's own fanboyism writing the revenge fanfiction
>>96446177Any answer but AdMech running a Froreworld is wrong
>>96446158>lorelet wants to speak upBro OOE is not a single individual and has manifested in both Leviathan and Behemoth swarms. It's just a carnifex alpha spawned already with a cosmetic scar to perpetuate the spooky slasher villain story.
>>96446155Is this specifically to get ready for Combat Patrol: Spearhead edition where GW starts trying to market 40k as a box set game?
>>96445948The rest of the Kin never make landfall as the three Craftworlds in the system wipe out whatever miserable excuse for a fleet they've brought. Havyr and Toryk are given leniency and sent back to their League with their tongues cut out.
>>96446155What do you mean?
>Imperial Guard is diverse in uniform>only cadians, catachans and Kriegers>no modular build-your-own-guard-regiment model kitsIs there a reason that GW can't do or won't do what Anvilindustry is doing with making modular parts?
>>96446223I unno. I doubt the game can ever be as good as spearhead. But it’s simply just doing what the recent space marine combat patrols are doing, adding more variety to the format. Also adding more discounts, I guess.
>>96446202These products represent the real life size difference
>>96445696At an RTT, yes. With friends, no.
>>96446222yeah bro but you dont understand. Cato smacks his ass so hard it rewriters his entire bloodline and removes his genetics from the pool, ceasing him from being made hence forth.ultramarine 4 life
>>96446223Most definitely.At least speahead is a better game than normal warhammer.
>>96446232Non-modular but better posed and detailed models sell more, cost less to do and further brand recognisability.
>>96446234PRIMARISAREKINd of big
>>96446087Im only just starting to notice these problems unfortunately, ive been having fun with it up until now>>96446090That was the plan for the face, a thinned red wash to give it that alien feel & also to give it some definition. Im planning on using red / blue contrast on the clothing but make it really exaggerated, so something similar to Baal red and whatever the saturated blue contrast isYeah its dual action, that's why I find it to be a little strange, it some cases quite a bit comes out when only pushed down (usually inks), and the paint cup is getting bubbles in it. I've cleaned this fucking thing out so many times im starting to think theres another issue somewhere
>>96445758If you want small games you should use king of the colosseum rules
>>96446232If gw made their kits modular, companies like anvilindustry would sell more, and if they sell more, gw sells less.
>>96446247Wouldn't models being modular for customization make for the guard to sell more? >>96446253You're not wrong there, but really does GW give a shit about the third party market given how big they are?
>>96446234god, look at this shit
>>96446155According to who? And do you just mean over the course of 11th edition when every faction gets another one with their codex release like every edition?
>>96446232Because most people only care about the basic factions.Even when kids were modular most people still flocked to characters and built models as the box/instruction booklet showed.If you only care about growing that profit you cut corners and triple down of what's already selling.
>>96445833A lot of winning is knowing the mission and secondaries
>>96446264If that's success then I never want to win
One thing I have to begrudgingly give GW is that they did manage to lower lethality. I was talking with my friends the other day about how very often you'll do something like put a unit projecting threat and another holding an objective both in LoS so the opponent has to deal and choose which one to deal with, while in 9e I vividly remember that everything that was in LoS would die no questions asked.
>>96446232Nobody gives a fuck about subfactions for any faction that isn't Marines. Making upgrades for non-Marine factions is a negative on GW's profits, as they aren't going to sell nearly enough to make up for the cost of the plastic.
>>96446266>Whoyou wont like when I invoke his name
>>96446261>Wouldn't models being modular for customization make for the guard to sell more?No, because when an infantry kit already costs 35£ and an upgrade sprue costs 20£, nobody is going to bother with the upgrade sprue, let alone from gw.
>>96446273>sell nearly enough to make up for the cost of the plasticI dunno man. I think there may be some laziness on GW's part. You look at other manufactures like Wargames Atlantic and Victrix that are putting out a lot of stuff in hard plastic and it makes one wonder.
>>96446270>We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. Workshop, it’s too much.’ And I’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!
Do chaos marines have any answer to the primaris or they just accepted that they are the manlet now?
>>96446284>Blood raven AL color shifting
>>96445864>i dont playwe know
>>96446290What do you mean? Guilliman specifically had primaris created because of warp tainted chaos marines.
Should I bring rubrics with their bolters or flamers if I wanted to tag them along in warpmeld?
>>96446290Bile's Numen and the creations of bile being space marines but better. He's the chaos equivalent to Cawl.
>>96443355>new warp spiders exarch looks cool as fuck with wristblades>let's give Phoenix Lord some generic sword insteadAlso, was expecting something more sinister due to the whole "YOLOing straight through the warp" shtick
>>96446307Is Drazhar the closest equivalent to Alarak in 40k or is it the Visarch?
>>96446307Literally the coolest guy in SC2.
>>96446306I know Bile but he is evil neutral (atheist) at best and most of his numen arent even chaos worshiper
>>96445434Didn't have time to reply in the old thread, apologies. The wings were actually fairly simple to do. I airbrushed the gradient from dark turquoise to purple, washed the turquoise part with black and the purple part with, well, purple. Afterwards it was just drybrushing with increasingly brighter turquoises and purples, the brightest parts are AKs pastel violet, I really like that paint. Also hamelessly reposting becuase I'm rather happy with the result.
Anyone got an easy method to paint gargoyle wings? I've realised that ill have to paint 20 of these assholes soon
>>96446273>>96446280I dont know if you're including chaos marines in your statement but its a stupid thing to argue that nobody gives a fuck about subfactions for any faction that isn't marine when guard have had multiple unique lines for their subfactions since like 2nd edition. and also the fact that current guard range is also made up of units from different subfactions.but thats the problem with discussion here, idiots and morons want to make declaritive blanket statements instead of having a modicum of nuance in anything they say.
>>96445939late reply, but its archies forge, i thought the normal terminator pads were kind of plain jane so i bought some iron hands themed ones.https://www.archiesforge.co.uk/collections/hands-of-iron
>>96446312He's just an Archon.
>>96446290before primaris:>chaos marines are (in fluff but not in models) stronger/bigger than normal marines thanks to chaos, but loyalists make up with their tenacity and faith, so they're equal!after primaris:>chaos marines are stronger/bigger than normal marines thanks to chaos, but loyalists make up with primaris, so they're stronger/bigger than normal chaos marines, but heretics make up with their tenacity and extra chaos gifts, so they're equal!
>>96446240Think you're just deranged and poisoned by irony and this place. Nids fluff is fine and they get plenty enough wins (and being obsessed over jobbers/nonjobbers is already pretty maladjusted)
>>96446326Cheers, thank you anon
>>96446328If Vect could ham it up and shit talk as much as Alarak then I would like Dark Eldar a lot more
>>96445615I hate these "lightly stepping on debris like a ballerina" models so much.
>>96446346The alternatives are transparent flight stands, sculpted smoke effects, trailing parchments and chains, or opaque flight stands.Nobody wants the other alternatives.
>>96446307I kinda wonder how hard it would be to swap her sword for arm blades.
>>96446331I see so the primaris truly sounds like ‘just make bigger gun lmao’
>>96446353>character is said to be female>model is clearly maleWhat's the excuse this time?
>>96446357the setting is primarily for orks and this proves it
>>96446362Small chest
>bought 100 termagants>still have to paint them
>>96446357In case you missed the message, titans are a thing.
>>96446362>incel sees a woman without tits the size of watermelons>that's a man!
Nearly done with my ultramarine corpse base
>>96446367You can do it in an afternoon. Contrast paint and such was basically made for batch painting nids. One of the few factions that slopchop looks alright on.
>>96445696When I play against my brother, it's like two hours. Though we tend to mostly play the same lists with little variation.
>>96446378>no picsvery interesting
>>96446269well, what SHOULD I know about the missions and secondaries? at least for this current card packanything that isnt immediately obvious that works together?
>>96446365That's not what a small chest looks like.
>>96446377Real men know that flat is justice
>>96446381I actually am using mostly contrast on them. The painting isn't actually really the bad part. Assembling + priming them is torture though.
>>96446351>trailing parchments and chainsobjectively the best option
>>96446235>>96446383what factions are you playing?
>>96446357Yes, if the situation was handled better chaos marines would be roughly matched by primaris enhancements in both sizes and powerIt's just that gw has economic interests in funnelling the newcomers more towards loyalists than towards chaos marines so they make the loyalists bigger and more powerful than the bad guysYou can tell it's intentional because they did the same exact stuff in aos too with sigmarines and chaos warriors, basic sigmarines are consistently bigger than basic chaos warriors and this difference has been put in place when gw had absolutely no preexisting status quo or height standard to adhere to with their new whole new setting and factionsThey know kids see bigger, think better and fall for the money trap that is starting marines/sigmarines
>>96446387This.Love for all chest sizes.
>>96446362>>model is clearly maleur gay
>>96446408>lusts over a man's crotch>calls me gay
>>96446385Stuff like: knowing when to hold onto a card because you're likely to score it during your opponent's turn, deploying units to cover your bases for turn 1 draws, including dedicated scoring units in your list, etc
>>96445948> “Excuse me but we’ve killed a lot, and I do mean a LOT of people for this stuff. Adding a few thousand stunties to the list won’t bother us at all.”
>>96446410you have two options in front of you>I think that's a man's crotch and I'm not attracted to it!meaning that you're gay for not recognising a woman's crotch and being attracted to itor>I think that's a man's crotch and I'm attracted to it!meaning you're gay for being attracted to what you think is a man's crotcheither way reality itself proves ur gay
>>96446398Orks. If I'm playing an infantry heavy list my movement, charge, and fight phases can take a long time
>>96446421Or: I am bi with experience and this is clearly a man's crotch, so you're a faggot in denial who cannot tell a man's body apart from a woman's.You are gay, and the issue isn't that you are calling me gay, but that you project your own troubled sexuality onto me.
>>96446438>Or: I am bi with experiencemeaning you're gay for sucking dicks and gay for not recognising and being attracted to what's matter of fact a woman's crotch
>>96446430fuck off back to /hwg/, perryfag
>>96446362Considering the Exarch's unhelmeted head in the Howling Banshee kit was explicitly said to be a man's head because 'Even men walk the path', it's pretty clear that GW still treats female minis as an exception.
You guys forgot the determining rule for Eldar;>Men have abs>Women have tummy plates

>>96446438>I am biYou're a fag.And all of this mental gymnastics to try and prove as to why this female space elf is actually a man and how other anons are gay for liking her, just makes you look even more like a faggot.

>the space elves are androgenous Say it ain't so
>>96446491>androgenousAccording to Mike Brooks they're genderfluid. Fuck one of the men hard enough and he'll actually become a woman.Dunno if that's gay or not.

>>96446500>I'm not gayI didn't say that, you have a problem with being gay, I have a problem with you projecting your troubles onto me.It's okay anon, I didn't know reading was also hard for you.
is this the warhammer 40k or 40Gay thread?
>>96446280Just a fun project to get back in the groove of painting.Should I make the statue stone grey or weathered bronze?

>>96446540why do you need to buy a combat patrol just get what you want.and there are rumours of orks being in the 11th starter but I guess that doesn't guareentee a new combat patrol, so if it happens less than a year? is that soon for you?

>>96446446Unhelmed exarch head is female. Eldar's gender can be determined by the eyebrows on the head, and men have coarser eyebrows
When batch painting guardsmen is it better to fix mistakes as they appear or keep going and fix them at once before applying a wash?
>>96446675Just fucking kill me already
>>96446703If it's an easy fix, do it as you go.If its a pain, do all the fixes of that colour at once afterwards.Also remember that any small mistakes probably wont even be noticeable when you have 10 or 20 of them bunched together

>>96446703never fix mistakes and just use the post wash highlight color and/or weathering to hide the mistakes

>>96446222that's the joke idiot
>>96446806Hey!
>>96446805They're just really fucking boring and forgettable design wise.
>>96446805I feel like their wackiness is mostly visual, being spess dwarves being little fun-sized space marinesIt's like having a gritty group torn from their homes, desperate to survive by any means necessary, making hard decisions for hard men, and they have a circus clown aesthetic (not trying to say Votann are circus clowns)
>>96445590Months ago. Now I’ll get him done. I plan to run him as. A techmarine/ apothecary depending on need.
>>96446054I think there are quite a lot of us now.
You know I was talking to a Votann player yesterday about 40k while picking up some stuff from him and he mentioned that the faction felt abandoned by GW and it's gotten me thinking about if adding yet another Xenos faction to the game was really a good idea overall when what was already around struggles with getting support and now has the Xenos support slot divided up even more
How the fuck can GW keep getting away with such regular price hikes?It's infuriating, the meme was that you get addicted to this shit and buy a lot of stuff, not that making a single army is a fucking huge expense.Around a 50% increase just in the last 10 years.And the kits are smaller. With less options and some are outright bad.When the fuck will GW find their "enough is enough" point.Is it the taxes? Is it inflation? Other factors?
>>96446876This time it's tarriffs. Out of all the scummy reasons to bump prices this one actually makes sense.
>>96446870>faction felt abandoned>just got a new wave of models last weekfake news. nice larp
One of Valrak's contacts spilled the beans.Drukhari's update, half in 10th half in 11th
>>96446883But then it wouldn't be a global hike? What the fuck have tariffs to do with rising the price anywhere that is not the US?
>>96445628Awooo!
>>96445590>all but one conversion is a marinefagNo wonder why this general goes into a shitposting frenzy when someone ridicules primaris
>>96446876>When the fuck will GW find their "enough is enough" point.When people stop buying/their profits start to go down enough that they have to actually pull their heads out of their asses>>96446883You do realize that's just an excuse and they would have done it tariff or no as with every year preceding this one
>>96446876It is capitalism demanding ever increasing profits/growth.It is smoothing out the cost of US tariffs globallyIt is also Inflation and energy costs due to the Ukraine war.
>>96446884He was the one who said it not me, maybe he hadn't gotten the memo yet.
>>96446887drew carey is a stupid name
>>96445590I post my manbanshee times ago
>>96446876Meanwhile wargames Atlantic is charging less than forty usd for 24 foot knights.There’s probably better deals from 28mm historical plastic model makers but it make you wonder how shaken the miniature market would be if gw priced their models to compete with historicals.
>>96446888Nintendo and other Game devs do this too. They try to only raise US prices as a last resort because US consumers are super sensitive to price rises. AAA games in the UK and EU were sent right up even before Nintendo made their move - games were 80 euros/£70 before the US move. They only increased US prices as the last resort.GW is doing the same here- raising prices for everyone to subsidize the US
>>96445948>SistersThey are a nomadic order trapped in the dark Imperium, travelling across the scattered worlds of humanity to reforge the domain of the Emperor.Often this involves diplomacy at the end of a gun, extortion for supplies and massed kidnapping for new recruits and laypeople.While they aren't much better themselves, they can, and will fight any enemies of humanity. This includes degenerate abhumans such as greedy squats.>TauSept Bork'an is really questioning why their valued Demiurge allies have forsaken the light of the greater good. But that is a question for the Watercaste.

>>96446894Im all out of other conversion idea right now okay
>>96446894Mine is a Marine but it's him dying
>>96446805seriousness or wackyness isn't the issue, nor it's grimdark or the oppositeit's that they aren't bold enough with the designs and missed almost any low hanging fruit:they're dwarfs but have no big beards and the runes are either absent or in a small window they can be fucked up clones with weird growths but that's barely present in two bitsthey've got robots but all they do is make them look like normal dudes with minor cybernetics they've got a big land fortress to tow carriages and carry big guns but have neitherthey've got a near futuristic astronaut theme but no spacewalkers, shuttles or rover/satellite dronesthey've got a mining theme but no heavy duty strip mining or digging machinery beyond artthey're technically daot humans but all they have is the same stuff the empire has with a different casingbut more importantly for a new faction THE CODEXES ARE FUCKING EMPTY, there's barely any information, where the fuck is one simple goddamn timeline of random shit and trivia about their history and society thrown at the wall to spark imagination and connect this faction with the others and the other events of the galaxy? there's no excuse for this, they have been cooking these since covid and they're still undercooked
>>96446925I can't even fathom a scenario where GW lowers prices honestly, because if energy, materials and/or shipping cheapened, the fucks would maintain the prices.>>96446906But that logic ceases to function when people decide to just stop buying because it's an unjustifiable expense.I wanted to dip my toes into Tau but now I won't because it's just too much for an extra army.I hate line go up boomers in corpos
>>96445590 I’ve had this for a while probably months.I plan to give him pouches and switch the pickelhaube helmet to a Victoria miniatures pickelhelm resized to be more in line with heroic scale proportions and then 3d printed.
>>96446887No pics, fake and gay
>>96446891You forgot something
>>96446887Whoa congratz to the ritual poster I guess.
>>96446963They would rather go out of business then lower their prices.I’d be suspicious if gw lowered their prices to be honest.
>>96446973You would add some gay shit
>>96447000The base version is already extremely gay
>>96446805their entire look is just primaris-liteeverything with a rune looks like some space wolf rip-off, the men of iron aesthetic is done elsewhere, all their equipment is bolters and volkite and other imperium stuff, you could drop any of the vehicles in GSC and it would fit right in with the range, most of the head sculpts play it tame and dont have big ass beards or slayer mohawks. its all very tepid and imperial coded, none of it feels uniquely dwarfy or outlandish.its been said a thousand times over but necromunda squats did it much better
What the FUCK is a castigator
>>96447013The daddy you ask to punish you
>>96446887Valrak is wrong and he's reporting on wish list shit post from a year ago because some dumbass in the same server thought it was real and shared it with his buddies.
>>96447013It castigates you
>>96447022Valrak is a retard
>>96447013its a typo, its supposed to be the castrator
>>96447013Vect got a lot of wraithlords/knights and turnes them into Pain Engines.Since they can use Psychic powers as well, they have access to the War in Heaven superweapon stockpile.
>>96447013It's an imperial knight iirc.
>>96447022Just notice the august 2024 lolThe fuck is wrong with the DEfags.
>>96447013Sisters of Battle equivalent to the Space Marine Predator tank.
>>96445608Yes? They are literally MTG tards and midwest americans.
>>96447013 >‘Xagor!’ Bellathonis yelled as he ducked for cover. ‘Get down!’ >A soundless impact rippled through the tunnel as several of the advancing mandrakes were instantaneously wiped from existence. Where they had been a perfectly spherical bite had appeared in the wall and floor, the material displaced out of the reality of Commorragh and sent… elsewhere.>Bellathonis recognised it as the distinctive strike of a distortion weapon – a rare type in Commorragh but one with a dire reputation. Heedless, the surviving mandrakes surged forwards to come to grips with their assailants and quickly found themselves outmatched.>Bellathonis watched in fascination as a pair of Castigators advanced to meet the mandrakes’ rush.>He could see at once that they were not purely machines like the Talos pain-engines, but rather housings for a living consciousness. The Castigators’ monomolecular claws pierced the pitch-black mandrakes like lightning bolts while the mandrakes’ own saws and sickles glanced from impervious metal. One of the war machines fired its distortion whip at point-blank range, a brief twist in reality pinching out its enemies so thoroughly that it was as if they had never existed at all. The other Castigator appeared to favour its claw-like blades more and sliced the last mandrake apart with the fluid grace of a knife-limbed dancer.>Xagor was already disappearing from sight back along the tunnel. Bellathonis realised the nightfiend was still lurking nearby, apparently too worldly-wise to charge forwards and share his minions’ fate. The grotesques were milling around in confusion making big, attractive targets.>Bellathonis agonised for a second and then ordered the lumbering flesh-puppets to attack. If they were going to be destroyed they might as well do some good by buying him some time.>‘Now we go back and tell Xhakoruakh!’ Bellathonis hissed angrily to the nightfiend.>The nightfiend nodded rapidly in response
>>96446887That's not one of valrak's contact, that's just one dude that's been spamming his discord with this stuff from reddit.His actual contacts don't back up this shit, only that they're getting an archon with this edition, and some models in the next edition.And that their incoming combat patrol is 2 pain engines, a hemunculus and one unit of wracks.You can tell it's an out of touch wishlist because it mentions stuff only a diehard deldar fag knows or cares about and focuses on matching the size of nids and necron ranges despite everyone knowing full well those factions are factions that got those waves because they were in a starter set and dark eldar are NOT going to be in a starter set.
>>96446888Massive new US taxes mean lost sales, and margins are dependent on total volumes being sold. You either have to make up those lost sales elsewhere, or increase price to maintain margins.
>>96447079>>and dark eldar are NOT going to be in a starter set.>inb4 copium huffing DEldarfag mentions that one box from like 2 decades ago.
>>96447079DEfags are so lame and gay, fuck
>>96447098I like that you feel that way. Get fucked lol
>>96447079As someone with contacts who have actually seen the Drukhari Codex, they better mentally prepare themselves because none of the resin is getting replaced and none of those units are in the codex.
>>96447144Fuck you and your lame ass army.
>>96447088Decreasing price would increase sales, it's proven.
>>96446887>refresh this hugeWho the fuck believe this?Name one (1) faction that got that big of a wave ever
>>96446134At least the most recent Overfiend can't go back for a revenge duel
>>96446887DEkeks can't posibbly believe this shit. This is pure wishlisting.
>>96447209None have deserved it has much as the Deldar
>>96446627>Hold onto a cardLet's say you draw Assassinate on your turn. You charge and fight a character but leave him on one wound. You're pretty sure you'll be able to kill him on your opponent's next turn (and score the points), so you hold onto the card. The more you play the better your intuition on those situations will be.>Turn 1 drawsHave fast cheap units and deploy them so they can score certain cards (area denial, establish locus, cleanse, etc) if you draw them turn 1.>AlsoKeep track of which cards you and your opponent have already drawn to anticipate what you're likely to draw later
>>96447204My biggest reference for this is Japan and their vending machines. Even at the airport they were cheap as shit. I never buy anything at the airport, except in Japan, where it's only tiny bit more expensive.
>>96447243Nodark eldar don't need, let alone deserve thisthey'll get the archon now, malys during the campaign books, maybe another kill team that updates either beasts or the court, and then the last 2 resin units next edition and that will be it for the future
>>96447204The majority of gw's sales are to people who buy whatever the price, and they have no competition. It's an archetypal business with a moat, as Warren Buffet would say.
>>96447262>>96447204You are dealing with a company that goes out of its way to be deliberately stupid and evil, and tries to compensate for these actions by using charity as penance. Don't apply any other logic to their actions.
>>96447209Well not as big but Kroot were big. Eldar too, even if in two waves
>>96446887Watch it be a Tau refresh lol
>>96447334>waaah this evil toy companygrow the fuck up, you retched manchild
>>96447334>using charity as penanceGW gives to charities?
>>96447340Did they avoid doing a shamanic kroot shaper because too culturally insensitive for today?And why shy away from knarlocs for cavalry?
>>96447204But GW already cannot keep up with the demand, so even if they lowered prices they wouldn't be able to handle the orders and not sell much more than what they're selling, that's why they're rushing to produce a new factory for once.
>>96447398>that's why they're rushing to produce a new factory for once.I've heard about this for fucking years at this point.I have a feeling it's either bullshit or it gets built and finished at best in like 2035.
>>96447398I believe it. Trygons and exocrines have been out of stock forever.
>>96447383Kroot Dinosaurs will be in a Wave 2, trust the plan. Alongside Kroxigor Kroot from that art and flying Pterodactylus Kroot
>>96447383shamanic is a word that originated from the siberian steppe for 'one who knows'. It is a catchall term for tribal spiritual leader. This dude looks plenty like a war shaman.
Anyone else here churning out mutants?Pic related for my "counts as" GSC army
>>96447498>the bug guyLmao that guy's awesome
>>96447498great project but left one looks a bit too orky even with his fucked up hand
>>96447514Yeah idk how I managed to make their predecessor look less orky desu but they needed an "auto pistol" and nothing else matches scale desu
>>96447514His brothers might have fared better thanks to their headswaps and power tools
>>96447514Still wondering how to make metamorphs now, don't wanna be "locked into" using ork bodies. Might use a mix if frost grave cultists and GSC arms
>>96446158Good all xenos deserve nothing but humiliation
>>96447492He looks like a tribal warrior, what's shaman about him?
>>96447380James is not gonna date you, give it up!
I always forget to use the plague marine datasheet rule mainly because I like using 10-mans and whatever the 10-man shoots at usually dies.
>>96447398Make more factories.>They're trying!Are they? When are they building a factory in the US where a huge portion of their customers are?
>>96446158Tyranid bioforms cant die forever retard
>>96447584You could say the same about >>96447383they share the same design language and have all the same details included.
>made progress on my bois todayFeels good man
>>96447601What's shaman about an indian chef?Jee anon, I don't know... Spiritual leader? Whaaaaaaaaat?
>>96447616I have no idea what the fuck you are trying to say?
>>96447079>dark eldar are NOT going to be in a starter setthey were in 4th
>>96447492I don't care about the niche etymology, you know full well I was talking about the more widespread modern archetype of a primitive wizard
>>96447616>>96447639what do you guys think a shaman looks like?
>>96447632And haven't been in any since nor they will be in the 11th, which is for orks, or the 12th.
>>96447639he literally looks like a native american shaman
>>96447649>orksnope
>>96447652this does >>96447383this doesn't enough >>96447492>whynot enough of a focus on spiritual elements, too much of a focus on simpler martial elements
>>96447628You said they're the same, they're not, the artwork is inspired by indian chefs, the mini is not.What else do you want, anon? An eye/brain transplant?>>96447640Depends on the culture.
>>96446312Drazhar/FarsightVisarch is literally nobody, known only for being cucked by Guilliman
>>96447652>literally>not literallyIdiot detected, watch him try to drag people into the mud with him.
>>96447700Unless anon meant >>96447383 looks like a native american shaman, then I am the idiot.Cruficy me if you must
>>96447692>>96447675In my opinion, you guys are retarded. Real shamans don't carry around a wizard hat and staff. They might have a few trinkets that are specific to a shaman in their culture but otherwise they are just well respected members of their societies. In the native american cultures that inspired the kroot headdress both shamans and chiefs wore similar clothing. You are just pedantic and want some flanderized retarded detail that doesnt actually exist.The flesh shaper literally has bones, red sashes and hooks to symbolize his role. It's obvious these things have spiritual significance, but instead you want to winge about something that isn't even a problem.Oh, and fun fact, you don't actually own any Kroot and would absolutely under no circumstances ever buy any.
>>96447706Yes, that's what I meant. It's meant to be an alien version of the native chiefs and shamans of north america. It's very obvious, just like Ultramarines are space romans and white scars are space mongols.
>>96447711>Real shamansNobody was talking about real shamans, I told you, but the more widespread modern archetype of a primitive wizard.
>>96447711>bones, red sashes and hooks to symbolize his role. so do random kroots that don't have that role, I say it's not enough
>>96447732The models are modeled after real shamans, not whatever vague archtype you have in your head that doesn't actually exist. Do you have an example of this 'widespread modern archtype'? If its widespread you can provide 2 or 3 examples from pop culture no?
>>96447747None of them have the hooks though?
>>96447747So what happens if they stumble walking with their guns out with those blades attached, they just castrate themselves?
>>96447795they can just keep eating cock and balls until it all grows back bigger
>>96446499Hot...
>>96447750type in shaman in gw's own store, or research about shamans in many fantasy settings, and this is what you get, wizards from somewhat primitive/crude cultures recognisable as such by magical implements, elaborate garbs and generally a separation from the martial sphere of design elements, which is why they're often made visibly old and withered or looking very impractical.Do I really have to teach you about basic design elements and the modern perceptions of them?Or are you venting some other kind of frustration from your life towards a dude that wondered why they didn't make a wizard-looking kroot?Hell, the other shaper with the fancier rifle isn't even that far from what I was thinking, but it's still quite too plain and more associated first with pathfinding than mysticism.
>>96446675I'm glad you like my model enough to post it for me
>>96447757Yes, they do, why are you lying?
>>96446499what the fuck... just like my porn animes
>>96447829Why didn't you just say I wish he had a staff with a fetish on it.
>>96447868Because the staff isn't the specific requirement as my initial post made quite obvious >>96447383
I don't get it. Why do people want and argue for Orks in 11th Edition starter? They already got a refresh alongside their generic troops that are Boyz>inb4 nuboyz suck because they are monoposeyeah and that's not something starter set would fix anyway. It would have monopose units still
>>96447904orks are cool, so more stuff would be cool, a number of their older models haven't been updated to plastic or have outdated design cues like the extremely lordotic asses
>>96446499>Fuck one of the men hard enough and he'll actually become a woman.Jokes on you that's my fetish
>>96447711>just the usual bait faggotryWoah, who could have guessed?
>>96446499explains why the one eldar player at my lgs trooned out
>>96446499He never said that
Imperial agents expansion is coming I can feel it
>>96446675>>96447842>filename is saved properly tooWew lad I hope you're ready for him to post this in every thread for the next month pretending to be you
>>96447933s-sauce?
>>96445590>Got two DoW boxesMy submission is going to be a converted bladeguard ancient->Lt.I don't have a volkite pistol bit, so I'm going to need to get a little creative and anti-wysiwyg
>>96447990Aosg. I asked too and got no answers
>>96447975to be fair it would've been posted every thread regardless lol
>>96447999Maybe you could help drown him out by finishing and posting a model of your own.
>>96447999>>96445672
>>96447999>>96448051Who cares? Are you really so autistic that every website you go to needs to be a cocomelon episode of constantly changing colours and shapes? At least he finished it.

>>96448119Nah, Lamentersfag paints better than that.
>>96447999Sure, but now we've got someone who is going to larp as the lamenterfag while posting that model and shitstirring. Imo thats far worse than the lamenterfag just posting his models too much as per usual>>96448126We've seen timestamps of this model next to lamenterfags dreadnoughts for months, it's his
Name one detail in that image that isnt on the flesh shaper model.
>>96448157Cloak/Scarf
>>96448126you're braindead
>>96447079>2 pain engines, a hemunculus and one unit of wracks.That's actually ok to add to the old CP
>>96445951I've seen minis FAR FAR FARworse showing up in the official GW website, anon.
