first for the reveals were lacking
Previous thread link but not fucked>>96497885>>96497885>>96497885
Whoa sick Titan OP
>>96500253I really like that Jackal head that I got one years ago
>>96500237the good news is that next week or the week after that we should see the reveal of a kill team boxset, those are always nice as long as one side is xenos.and according to rumors there's chances for eldar of some kind and orks.
>>96500221>TQcurrently painting a digital kitbash I made of every female gsc model so I can make a unit of 20 female neophytes and up my horde to 80 neos
>>96500261oh yea its very cool
>>96500221Why have they never mentioned the Space Marine's high tea again?
>>96500279A real tragedy.
Would you buy a land raider shaped fleshlight?
I miss the old days
>>96500305god damn those are ugly
can someone shop her pale skin and red hair?
>>96500318>high heelsHave the commies started to lose their shit yet?
Well, Deldar-chan, you got your 'refresh'. Is it everything you could have dreamed of and more?
>>96500321You're the only one who cares.
>>96499008If you trimmed the detail a bit they'd be pretty cool.I swear GW sometimes forgets these miniatures have to be painted.
So that confirms that Deldar will be in 11th Edition Starter Set
>exact same 15 year old mini range but probably a 100% markuplollmaohttps://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/5jk5xmlb/lady-malys-stands-tall-over-the-new-codex-drukhari/
>>96500333How
>>96500321Give it a while
>pretty elf modelHow did it take this many years to finally do it?
>>96500312You have ugly eyes.
>>96500327the first pinko revealed
That's a godlike combat patrol. I have one of the old ones, I also have a Wychshard for Wych cults, if I get this I could really flesh out that Drukhari army I've been meaning to start for so long.
>>96500322I’ve been on break from the hobby for a while and haven’t been in these threads either but as soon as I saw today’s news I rushed over to see if that guy had killed himself.
>>96500318sure
>>96500333What? Why?
>>96500305That's not an official box, just some guys army but it's still cool.
>>96500355The previous one was better. The lack of a Raider or Ravager for the BF aswell is unfortunate.
>>96500333The only thing confirmed are your delusions.
>>96500334but it has a new dyke
>>96500345we have shadowheart at home
>>96500333>finally get a new archon kitFuck yeah
>>96500321The usual lefties I follow on bluesky like her, you're imagining people to get angry about again
>>96500321>Wanting soldiers to wear helmets on the battlefield is communist
>>96500339>>96500361>>96500365They left their units to be updated in a starter set and edition release wave. They are getting rid off the last stockI'm sorry boyz
I hate the idea that every DE woman needs to be a pale skinned crack whore this fandom is so bad with flanderizing itself yet also complaining about it
>>96500334get one last run out of the old moulds, same as grey knights
>>96500363Yeah the previous one was godlike, but this one is a great addition for someone that already has an army made from the previous one.
>>96500380Why would you willingly use BlueSky?
>>96500378I don't get how this is better than just using the visarch
>>96500355Yeah this is great, every DE army needs a couple of talos and cronos and this means you get the wracks and haemonculus free too.2 of these wouldn't be bad, the only thing you don't need is the duplicate haemonculus
>>96500347Box is fake, but I still have some of those scouts. Should paint them some day. And sell the ones from Advanced Space Crusade, but I doubt I get a good price.
>>96500392because differnt model
>>96500333It's Orks. Deldar will get a refresh later on in the edition.
>>96500378I hate this model, nice long legs for a willowly elf body type, but a SUPER short torso. His head is as long as his whole torso, terrible. Its a repeat of that custodian character that looks like they're a LoV
>>96500392new good old bad (unironically)
>Correct yet again
>>96500389Shitter has bots out the ass and Musk is a faggot
>>96500392>2025>still acknowledging the Ynnari
>>96500389NTA but some porn artists I follow left x and haven't come back yet
>>96500333How many times do you need to get told orks are the 11th starter enemy?
>>96500377I don't get it and don't see it. Didn't this game release recently? It's supposed to take like 3 years for GW to design, sculpt, print, make mould, cast and then start selling models
I think the thing I dislike the most about GW’s design philosophy is the obsession with top knots. I get it’s probably easier to model and probably paint, but it still looks weird when every faction does it.
>>96500416The malys leaked sprue is copyrighted 2023, he's just shitposting
>>96500408why do chuds here try to argue versus valraks leaks
>>96500414until I see it
>>96500389Nta but I’m a digital artist and I have to have as many viable social medias as possible. Nothing makes them sadder than someone who doesn’t share their opinions being a serviceable artist.I don’t know why. I just draw 40k stuff.
>>96500383The grudgepost is going to hilarious.
>>96500334Two 10 man squads with no way to transport themlmao
>>96500418It isn't just limited to top knots. A lot of the factions have strange design overlap, especially when it comes to cables for weapons that connect to the armor.
>>96500428Ackshually the venom can split wyches or kabalites
>>96500418I'll take top knots over the stupid wide stance their modellers are obsessed with as at least you can chop those off.
>>96500334You didn't buy Blood of the Pheonix. If you want your non-faction to get cotinued support, you better piggy out.
>>96500305I could post some of my stuff from that era if you'd like
>TQPrint off more of these and some Thunderkyn proxies I can find. Try to find more from the new additions.
>>96500221>TQNothing too urgent at the moment- I think I've kind of plateaued my 40k army collections for the time being. Maybe a few more Killa Kans and Poxwalkers for my Orks and Death Guard down the line, but I'll get there when I get there. Got enough of a backlog to work through as it is, honestly.
>>96500407the visarch isn't old
>>96500438I bought a full 2k harlie army and i got squat
>>96500438Blood of the Phoenix was an Ynari release
>>96500425My biggest gripe with artists is when they start dipping their toes in politics. And especially when they do it on the account where they post their art.Like fuck off, I'm only here to look at the tits you draw, not to see your dumb shit takes on politics.
If Custodes can wear black armor, couldn't Grey Knights wear gold?
Magnus
>>96500221>TQYou know what, I'm actually not sure what I want to get next. I have picrel + Lord of Change plus an unpainted Ahriman and a Predator. In case I ever want to play I should probably get another box of Rubrics? Screamers and Tzaangors are pretty cool, maybe one of these? I'm definitely not getting Magnus because I don't like the model at all and I'm not 100% sold on MVB either. Still, I'm going to be painting AoS and TOW for a good while so it's not like I have to actually buy anything right now.
>>96500334Aah, Lady Malys, the favourite of Cegorach.She looks awesome..
>>96500421knee jerk hatred/jealousy of youtubers idiots who get angry about "spoilers"
>>96500363>>96500355The previous one was the best Combat Patrol they ever released, with only the old GSC one even in the same league. This was absolutely certain to be a downgrade one way or another, but it's very solid in its own right, especially for DE players that have based their armies on previous starter sets from which Covens have tended to be absent.
>>96500442>intentionally spoiler the image to trigger my need to see what it isYou cheeky fucker. Looks good so far.
>>96500449Not limited to artists. Everywhere is a political cesspit nowadays
it was HER TURN
>>96500458Forgor pic
>>96500442>uses rattlecan lid as a handle I gotta try this. More surface area means that minis with larger bases can still be held on the handle with more sticky tac right?
>>96500455Daemon prince?
>>96500467This is what happens when every retard gets to have internet in his pocket. I miss the times when only people that were terminally online were nerds and losers.
>>96500468what the fuck is going on with her hands? she have chainblades coming out of her palms?
>>96500221>TQ>CSM Black legionI'm going to expand it with some more Marines, I plan on getting a Havoc squad when I'm done with my current backlog and that Raptors KT set they revealed a little while ago looks like a good one for a regular Raptor squad. I know Raptors are pretty crap on the table but no Marines army of any flavor feels complete to me without at least one jump-pack assault squad.After that, I have a bunch of the Darktide traitor guard that I'm going to build and paint like Blood Pact, I'm still working out what to do with the Grotesques and it looks like my best option is to get 3d print heads.
>>96500469So the leaked model was in fact a prototype. Maybe the faggot retard redditor can assemble it now and we can compare
>>96500452why isn't he red?
>>96500479Hoses for sucking out your insides
>>96500463I wish I'd gotten it if only for the Raider/Ravager. Right as I felt like I was going to pull the trigger on my wallet it was gone (and may have been for a while) and I found none at/below geedubs' price elsewhere
>>96500472Ohhh right I forgot about that guy. Yeah, not a bad idea, thanks.
>>96500479her hands drain men of all their fluids with cruel and calculated touches, strokes and thrusts
>>96500464Honestly did not know it was spoilered, but thank you. It was a birthday gift from my friend a while back that I finally got around to painting up.>>96500471It's a laundry detergent cap, and it works great for bases up to 60mm! I've been using them pretty much since I started painting around 3 years ago.
>>96500449I don’t want to share my art socials as that would compromise my anonymity here but basically someone wanted a drawing of himself with one of those gay flags as a sororitas girl and I rejected the request because I didn’t want to draw anything political. He got mad at me and must have bad mouthed me as I’ve gotten a number of angry dms. Maybe they think artistry is their thing and I got through the gates?
What was the point of rescinding the Edict of Restraint if the Adeptus Custodes were already coming and going from Terra as they pleased and everyone was well aware of this?
>>96500418>>96500430It's one part that topknots are a Goodwinism and a major part of his own personal design language which bleeds into all of 40k, but the other factor is that they're a really convenient way to do interesting hair on a plastic sprue. You've got to think a lot harder about how hair that falls over the shoulders fits together.
>>96500468Malys would be perfect if the model had hair like this
>>96500497Yeah, it happens.Only thing you can do is just ignore those fags.
>>96500496>It's a laundry detergent capThat’l work too! I’ll give it a shot after making a run to the arts and crafts store when I get the chance.Thanks anon!
>>96500469What a cool lil model
>>96500469excellent, another base for Rumi besides Callidus
>>96500499because the second was added later to justify various examples of how and why you could field custodes outside of major engagements or in previous points of the timelineif you want a clarification, give for granted that they didn't do so in particularly great numbers or particularly opening, or answering to any authority before, while they can do so now
>>96500469Oof, I love both those faces
>>96500345>>96500318Nice.
>>96500495are you saying she penetrates men?
>>96500497Too many people think artists are obligated to draw whatever they request
>>96500497Lol did you tell them you didnt want to do anything "political" or did you just say "no"?"Political" is a trigger word for them.
>>96500507Glad I could help, Godspeed.
>>96500463>especially for DE players that have based their armies on previous starter sets from which Covens have tended to be absentThis is exactly why I love it, covens needed some value box love. It was too much to hope for that it would be as good as the old patrol but it's still way better value wise than most of the other 10e combat patrols. I'd have like to see new grotesques in it, but I knew that was some serious hopium. My only true gripe is that the points for this CP are super low, who knows that they will ultimately be with the new codex anyway.
>>96500321>woman has high heelsTHE SJWS are TRIGGERED and SEETHING at GW letting WOMEN be SEXY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>96500421Back in like 2017 he'd get things wrong all the time and some anons are total spergs who can't let that go
>>96500520it can't suck men if it doesn't penetrate them first, yes
>>96500455If you did want to play Gors or more Rubrics wouldn't be a bad pickup, though I would love to see you do a DP like other anon said
>>96500530The pendulum is swinging back, finally.
Mating press and Veil only
The model is amazing, no notes.
>>96500501kek
>>96500535not the worst way to go
>>96500543Agreed. Veil > her uggo face. Idk why anons think it looks good, its standard GW slopface
>>96500221>What are your future plans for your army?Painting the named characters then doing something else desu
>>96500305What am I looking at? They almost look like space marines... but they're so small?
>>96500547Yvraine has some delectable grape mulchers on her. Only good thing to come out of the Ynnari
>>96500529>I'd have like to see new grotesques in it, but I knew that was some serious hopiumHey, at least the two Talos/Cronos kits mean an absolute ton of spare parts for doing the classic crypt horror or ogor conversions.Assuming the resin units make it into the codex, of course.
>>96500501>>96500418if you hate topknots you are a tourist like an actual tourist its such a deeply ingrained design choice for old school stuff
>>96500553>They almost look like space marines... but they're so small?Just like your pecker
>>96500501While my criticism is largely animated by my personal distaste, things like the Custodes Terminators are ridiculous to me. If it was an Eldar cultural thing I could overlook, and largely do for that faction, but it pops up in random places in all factions.
>>96500297Jesus Christ
>>96500561GOTTEM
>>96500559All SM2 hero skins should be miniatures
>>96500523That is true especially when making commissions like I can’t read your mind. >>9650052It’s been a while since it happened.The request was a purple white and yellow flag I think with the person as an anime girl sororitas. I said that I make it a point to have my works publicly viewable as I gotta maximize exposure and I don’t want put anything that could be seen as political in my portfolio lest it turn off future clients. That’s it.He got mad and said there’s nothing political about existence and as an artist I have a moral obligation to be understanding of others as far as I can remember the dms off the top of my head.For like a week I got angry dms calling me all sorts of mean things. Then it just stopped. Guess they moved on.

>>96500382Food is a luxury in your typical commie army, nevermind helmets.
>>96500574Somehow I messed up that reply to >>96500524 my bad.
>>96500583North Vietnam won
>>96500552Lookin forward to seeing your characters Wolfbro
>>96500572The should be, but GW is lazy.Hell, many of the customization options you do get in the game that aren't DLC should be made into models.

>>96500559>No you can't hate something oldWhy not?
>my two last minute fomo deldar combpat orders come in this weekboy am I glad I got those. I told yall it was the last day to order them last week
>>96500591No it didn't. We just go bored and left.
>>96500516>they didn't do so in particularly great numbers or particularly openingOne of their most numerous cohorts specializes in riding around in giant spaceships and deploying in force to spectacularly annihilate stuff so as to establish deterrence. Part of their whole thing is to make it openly known who they are and what they do. It's been common knowledge for the longest time.
>>96500559>but bro this old stuffI don't care that it is old, it still looks like shit.Just because something was done in the past or historically doesn't mean it somehow looks good.
>>96500559I actually have 3D printed Mk.X Helmets with top knots and shat a brick when sm2 made one
>>96500554I like the question mark"are we doing elf feet again? we fucked up lelith twice"
>>96500607And something isn't bad just because you declare it so, you fat faggot
>>96500607>>96500599typical 40k fans cherry picking this fandom is obsessed with defending old designs yet this one is bad becasue it just is okay?
>>96500559>y-y-you're a tourist if you don't like <specific thing with no bearing on the hobby>project more xir
>>96500616I'm not "this fandom" I'm one guy.

>>96500628most secondary post in years
>>96500469
>>96500610>>96500559White Scars are the most overrated ass chapter ever marines are knights and anglo not this asian shit If they were Chinese or Japanese it would be cooler but mongols? Its such an 80s biker gimmick
> dark eldar anon today
>>96500640enjoy it while it lasts, nerd, we're back to space marines and irrelevant drama in a couple of threads
Why do we hate white scars now?
>>96500554go to therapy
>>96500639>mongols? Its such an 80s biker gimmickMore of a 1206 to 1294 gimmick.
>>96500333i think the rumours are that they are getting a bigger refresh in 11th, makes sense why all their getting atm is some new HQ's
>>96500626To be fair "I hate Topknots" has been a bigger argument amongst normies online now
>>96500640not a refresh, just a shitty replacement + an attempt to dump old models onto unsuspecting kids. I guess they got rid of enough of the old archons.DEldar as the starter baddies for 11th is looking more and more likely.
>>96500656its orks
>>96500642get ready for the paypigs to say how deldar getting a character and an archon refresh invalidates any complaints about the rest of the archaic range
>>96500656>>96500660ORKS
>>96500605ok and? give for granted that that's only something they do like that and to this extent only now
>>96500408> hated by GW corpo> doesnt get invited to any 40K stuff > still a shill according to redditorsTrust in the foilrak anons. I remember when he was talking about a new BT ancient well over a year ago and anons were calling him a schizo.
>>96500438>The Hollywood dilemma>If you want more original movies go see the original movies we are putting outThen they put out Rebel Moon as their original IP. Lose/lose
>>96500656It won't be DE under a year after their 10th codex
>>96500656i actually think Orks will be the launch faction but dark eldar will still get a refresh during 11th.
>>96500656>DEldar as the starter baddies for 11th is looking more and more likely.So you've been acting intentionally retarded here in a falseflagging attempt so far? That's an ugly low.
>>96500668I really enjoy Vals videos, hes able to take a joke well and is quite jolly and vibrant. Warhammer should hire him as official Ambassador
>>96500671is rebel moon hollywood? where does it start and end with these film making bloodlines?
The Imperium needs to have an actual, proper crusade against the Tau, lead by a primarch, and they don’t retreat to deal with something else, they just play out the war to its end. The Imperium bloodies the Tau but they also lose the war and are forced to retreat after a grinding front, no “oh we have to fight the Tyranids now” excuses, they just straight up lose. GW is obviously gonna continue making the Imperium more good and the Tau more grimdark so they gotta make the Tau into an actual threat if they’re gonna go that route.
>>96500679>I really enjoy Vals videosImagine admitting this
>>96500679as a southerner he is likeable enough that it quells my hatred of norf
Can (You) paint this well?
>>96500687he seems like such a genuine sweetheart with no ill will and puts up with right left and far right people.
>>96500685>The Imperium needs to have an actual, proper crusade against the TauThey did, and lost>lead by a primarchone taller man wouldn't change anything >and they don’t retreat to deal with something elsethe imperium cannot go on the offense without exposing something to other threats, it's always going to retreat eventually

I wish necrons had titan-sized units, closest we have is the seraptek
>>96500773The Ruskis will blow a gasket they already seethingly still obsess over 40k and are always the ones who make anti woke propaganda with 40k as their shield
>>96500704The problem is that the Damocles Crusade had the Imperium leave to deal with the Tyranid invasion at the end of it. Now, even if the Imperium never was going to win that war, the narrative around it will forever be “it was a small crusade and then we left to do better things.” Hell, the common view of the Damocles Crusade is that the Imperium bitchslapped the Tau around for a few weeks and then got bored and left. For one reason or another, the Tau never really get any respect. The Imperial Guard are elite badasses, the Space Marines are elite transhuman badasses, the Dark Eldar are scary nightmares, the Necrons are scary terminators, the Tyranids are scary bugs, etc. But the Tau are pathetic little blue fish men with primitive technology who get dunked on all the time.

>>96500656It's tau
>>96500795>But the Tau are pathetic little blue fish men with primitive technology who get dunked on all the timeThat's humanity in most sci-fi. That was Holy Terra for most of it's existence.
>shadowheart archon>covens might actually be collectable without costing an arm and a leg nowOh fuck GW is going for me
>>96500732The new Vespid models have this soft fleshy mouth but I do agree it stands out a bit. Maybe I'll go over it with a second coat of Magos purple so it's darker, or turn the teeth black-grey, or get around to painting bone white claws like I intended. I'm a little pressed for time wanting to get these done before a Tourny. >>96500743Thanks. I figured I'd do slightly more than the bare minimum even though I'm conflating Volkite and Volkanite. Now on to figure if I paint my Buri counts-as with my army colors or Buri's blue colors. And also if I paint the Memnyr with a white coat or a hull red coat like my Kahl.
>>96500656>DEldar as the starter baddies for 11th is looking more and more likely.It's orks.
>>96500791You just gotta convert one
>>96500696No, leave me alone.
>>96500644the incelic chuds here were ordered to rail against anything not european enough by the greek statue twitter accounts
>>96500812>The new Vespid models have this soft fleshy mouthWhy did GW give them blackface lips then?
If they actually make Drukhari elite but tricky like Eldar so that a Drukhari army doesn't need to field in the ballpark of 100 models I might genuinely consider making a 1000pts off-shoot. I have like 3 Raiders laying around after all.
DREW CARRIES LESSGOOOOO
>>96500815You can also make a gigantic necron starting from a mcfarlane toy
>>96500795Anon, xenos never get respect. No xenos character is ever going to be respected, especially when placed next to a Human character. If the Imperium is involved in a fight against xenos, they could lose horribly and you would still have vastly more people going on about "THE IMPERIUM JUST HAD BIGGER THREATS!", "THE IMPERIUM WASN'T TRYING!", and "THE AUTHOR IS BIASED AND HATES THE IMPERIUM!", and all such things.The Imperium lost in Damocles. They lost so hard they burned dozens of their own worlds just to try and keep the Tau from getting them. But 90% of the modern community doesn't give a fuck about that. They think the Imperium beat the Tau, and any time someone tries to correct them a talking head fresh off a 'binge' of YT shorts will come in and go "ERM AKSHULLY THE IMPERIUM TOTALLY WRECKED THE TAU! DID YOU KNOW THE TAU WERE AWESTRUCK AND TERRIFIED THE FIRST TIME THEY SAW A TITAN? DID YOU KNOW THE TAU ONCE OPENED A DREADNOUGHT AND THE MARINE INSIDE WAS OLDER THAN THEIR SPECIES? DID YOU KNOW KRIEG GUARDSMEN CAN OVERPOWER TAU BATTLESUITS WITH SHOVELS?" which just brings everything back to square one, because whoever you were talking to first is going to go with their bias that the Imperium won and the Tau only survived because of plot armor.
>>96500696Nah, I play games
>>96500696Clearly this person knows how to paint, I just don't like the style, that's all
>>96500813doubt they do xenos 3x in a row, it'll probably be chaos

>>96500795Let me check the sources.>What was the size of the Da,ocles Crusade?The sources say it was massive (6th ED Marine codex, T'au 6th ED codex, and Farsight supplement, and Farsight: Crisis of Faith).>Did the Imperium lose the Damocles CrusadeThe sources say yes. According the 3rd and fourth edition codexes and also Warzone Damocles, the crusade chances of victory were negligible. Crusade Commander Gaughe ordered the withdrawl before the Crusade learned of the Tyranids.>Is the T'au technology inferior to the ImperiumAcross to the gathering storm, the Tau are technologically superior to the Imperium. Book of Martyrs says that Tau sensors are more advanced than the Imperials.Other sources say that stealth tech and medical tech of the Tau iws way more advanced.So it all boils down to your inability to read.
>>96500795>the common view of the Damocles Crusade is that the Imperium bitchslapped the Tau around for a few weeks and then got bored and left and in reality they didnt, I will never understand how this community is so anal over lore yet will let certain things slide if it fits a majority's narrative.>MULTIPLE Titans lost >MULTIPLE Space Marine chapters were nearly wiped >Both Space Marine/IG had to rethink entire battle strategies>Lets not even mention the Tau High command tricked the Imperium into attacking with lack of force in order to prove to the masses they were strong

>>96500696I'm not really a fan of how this looks but I'm fairly confident I could pull this off if I tried
>>96500837Works well as a necron titan.
>>96500795>the common viewwhy the fuck are you appealing to the lowest scum of the 40k community?
>>96500869>Tau are technologically superior to the Imperium. >Book of Martyrs says that Tau sensors are more advanced than the Imperials.>Other sources say that stealth tech and medical tech of the Tau iws way more advanced.NTA. That's dumb. The Imperium has working tech from the Dark Age of Technology. The T'au shouldn't be anywhere close to that. I think the T'au as a faction should have better tech on average than the Imperium. That's how everything treats them anyway
>>96500833Yeah, DE feel much too hoardy now. The new combat patrol, decent though it is, isn't even 300 points.

Can someone explain the phenomena of Chaos-fanboys that insist their favorite legion isn't actually Chaos? Night Lords get a pass, as that's been their fluff since 2e. Why not just play as one of the edgier loyalists?
>>96500845I think Chaos would sell well if it were CSM vs Astra Militarum or sororitasOr if you want make it weird make it CSM vs Aeldari or T'auGoing for any god-specific legion would be weird.Assuming it will have to be SM, for it to be interesting to normies, you will have to include something different, so it isn't dude in power armour vs dude in power armourIn order not to choose hard to assemble armies or with weird mechanics, it would need to be either: Orks, Dark Mechanicum, T'au, Eldar. Dark Eldar, GSC, Necrons and Tyranids are autoexcludes.
>>96500923The vast majority of "chaos fanboys" are actually just marinefags who want their dudes to be strong independent women who need no authority.Also, no, night lords don't get a pass either.
>>96500841>>96500883You guys are confusing the first and second Damocles wars/conflicts.Here is a summary of the (First) Damocles Crusade + new lore we got from Blade of Truth novel:https://x.com/shas_kais/status/1961246459224834372Basically, the Damocles Crusade was a controlled conflict by the Aun'Va.The Second Damocles Crusade/war happened in 41M 997. The T'au did, in fact, beat the Imperium so hard that they nuked their space using a superweapon that set space on fire. It's the conflict where the Raven Guard lost their chapter master and were brought to the edge of extinction.The Tau won ever major conflict with the Imperium. Every single one.
>>96500795>the Tyranids are scary bugsYou can't be fucking serious. When have the Tyranids gotten the last actual win? They are the xenos most used as cannonfodder. Acting like the Tau are worse off is fucking idiotic, kill yourself at once.
>>96500928No starter will ever get made without IMPERIAL space marines.Chaos space marines are not equivalent.
I will never understand how this community is so anal over lore yet will let certain things slide if it fits a majority's narrative. The more I actually read the actual lore the more I realized that over the last 20 years all 40k lore discussion is nothing but multiple sides of people trying to gaslight a narrative. Damocles is one of the worst examples of Imperial bias infecting the fandom so hard they make so much asspulls to say imperials won it
>>96500904The majority of DAoT is garbage, barring a new exception. Rhinos, Leman Russes, and Predators are DAoT tech.They get rolled by hammerheads easily.
>>96500945I agree and because of this CSM is unlikely to be on a starter set, so as not to make this Horus Heresy
>>96500923>Chaos-fanboysAren't a thing. There are no Chaos codices in 10th. There is only Space Marines and four more codices of Space Marines.
>>96500939The thing is, the Imperium is so massive that losing multiple Space Marine chapters and Titan Legions is a slow Tuesday for them.
>>96500845>>96500656>>96500333It's not a matter of opinion or guesses and it hasn't been for months; /ourguy/ >>96500408 has already confirmed that it's going to be Orks.
>Ate someone that probably didn't sit well with me. Ended up having vomiting fits all night, constant Diarrhoea, shit the bed in my sleep and still feel extremely tender and painful after and have been in bend all day.Faction for this? (Don't say Nurgle that's a cop out)
>>96500221I actually really like primaris space marines.
>>96500943>You can't be fucking serious. When have the Tyranids gotten the last actual win?The last times they appeared on screen they won octarius and then 0gram in quick succession.We're all eagerly waiting round two to see the nid death star....any moment now...
>>96500959>loss of a Titan legion>just another day
>>96500923A good amount of Chaosfags plays for the aesthetic, but still wants to be "the good one"
>>96500779filtered faggot lmao
>>96500959....hes ragebaiting he has to be
>>96500964>>Ate someonekroots
>>96500985>No codex
>>96500928>Going for any god-specific legion would be weird.8th edition?
>>96500959That's not true. The Imperium was in the period called the Waning at the time. It could no longer afford to wage wars for no solid gains. Follow the pattern in the Age of Ending lore that started with the invasion of Hive Fleet Behemoth. You will see mention after mention of the Imperials lacking manpower and unable to commit to warzones.
>>96500964Literally the same, anon.The flesh is weak
>>96500923It's not really a thing anymore. It used to be a decade ago but at this point it's almost entirely just a thing that other people get mad at the idea of happening.
>>96500959They didnt lose chapters but a lot were bloodied in the war, but losing titans especially the amount lost at Damocles was insane
>>96500968What am I looking at here>newfagYeah sure, can I learn what this is?
>>96500968Ohgram was a planet specifically made so it could fall. The 'vote' was rigged from the start to prompt more engagement, as Nids winning was the 'unexpected' outcome. It also gave more time for hype to build for the Marine models.
>>96500968Was it that campaign or the one before that GW cheated and changed to outcome of the second battle in the middle of the nighy so it wasn't a stomp. They were immediately caught.
>>96500989They have a dedicated krootspam detachment. It even does well in tournaments if your a sicko willing to paint 120 birdmen to clog up the board.
Why are warlord titan's always sold out? When is GW gonna get off their ass and restock them?
>>96500947You just need to admit the fanbase sucks ass and always had
>>96500913>>96500920Humanity has both the technology and prowess to Terra form a nuked planet, unlike the xenos who can't even prevent a simple exterminatus.
>>96501007When the Leviathan box released it had a code that allowed people to show how their games went.Tyranids won the most of the games and thus were declared the winner and the planet of Oghram was lost to them in lore.Things like this used to be fairly common, players games having in universe outcomes
>>96500989That's like saying Ultramarines have no codex.
>>96501021Just get a recast for a tenth of the price
>>96500959It's funny because you're right.
>>96501023The Tau sunburst technology blows up stars. Has the Imperium ever blown up a star? I thought so.
>>96501012>Ohgram was a planet specifically made so it could fall.Yes, but it could also be successfully defended, and it wasn't, it fell, nids got a victory.>The 'vote' was riggedLmao, no
>>96501049imagine falling for marketing this hard
>>96500737He was too powerfull and based to return to the tabletop
>>96501019Yeah but they don't have the units variety to build fun lists.>>96501031Space Marine units are largely chapter agnostic. *MOST* SM units can be used in any loyalist chapter.
>>96500997>You will see mention after mention of the Imperials lacking manpower and unable to commit to warzones.There is irony within the fact that the Imperium runs out of units to spam when the only other horde faction rolls up.
>>96501027>>96501007>>96500968They weren't games.I bought the box.You get a codex from the box and use the code to vote for either space marines or Tyranids.Whoever gets the most votes wins the narrative
>Xenos
>>96500997>imperium>lacking manpowerMy brother in Christ, they have so much manpower that they only take the elite .01% from planets for the Guard
>>96501016Probably the aos one the year later, where probably 99% of the votes went to skaven and not sigmarines.
>>96501058That's how it was used by some but was not how it was intended to be used.
>>96501027>Tyranids won the most of the gamesYou didn't need to play a game.You just got a code and then used that to "report" who won the match. Ie. it is impossible to tell how many people actually played a match with their models and how many just submitted in "X faction won".Also GW was taking in votes through email as well. As long as you wrote something into the email detailing why the X faction should win on Oghram, then that email would count as a vote towards the faction you chose.The entire Oghram shit was a glorified vote and nothing more.
>>96501063>Smegmar mentioned as an equal to 40kThis is retarded and I refuse to take anything else this says seriously.
>>96500685>Guilliman gets headshot by a random tau pathfinder and dies>his lasting legacy is a band of krootarchs that were allowed to eat his bodyI would laugh my ass off.
>>96501074And how it was intended to be used is highly irrelevant to the actual reality of how the event went since practically everyone was ignoring the whole part how you were supposed to do it properly.
>>96501064Refer to the lore of the third Tyrannic War, the Imperium didn't have enough manpower to fight the Tyranids and the 13th Black Crusade at the same time so Kryptman and the Deathwatch created the Octarius situation.
>>96500737He's going to be in the 11e box
>>96501067No it was a 40k one. Imps were winning hard and suddenly thousands of non imp votes came in at the same time. It was very overt cheating but GW can do what they want.
>>96500959I mean, technically. The Imperium is the protagonist of 40K, they'll always come back, but that doesn't mean their losses don't hurt.
>>96501081>>Guilliman gets headshot by a random tau pathfinder and diesGuilliman has an iron halo which would block the shot.Also he is a primarch so some rinky dink tau rifle doesn't even have the power necessary to pierce his skull anyway.
>>96501058>>96501076The two sides were also infamously unbalanced in favour of marines in any case, so hardly the even contest of skills or wills.It was just a popularity contest and marines lost it.
>>96501064Good thing the Guard is a minority of the Imperium military manpower then.
>>96501101Which is why it would be so funny. All that plot and actual armor, just to get got by some tacticool blue midget
>>96501089Why didn't they just direct the swarm at Abaddon baka
>>96501101>Rolls two 6s to wound with a BroadsideDamn dude cool Primarch, now take him off the table.
>>96501109Assuming that GW didn't rig it.
>>96501092Then it must have been the one done with 8th edition, I didn't pay much attention to that one, it looked like an irrelevant messy cluster fuck doomed to crash and burn.
>>96501051All 40k lore is marketing, dipshit.
>>96501109>>96501051
>>96501126>>96501125
>>96501120They had no reason to rig it to make marines sell less.
>>96500261You did a lot better job than decalmutant with the paintjob and posing.
Reminder that pic related is the best any xenos character can ever aspire to be; arm candy for a Primarch. Even now Yvraine is still thecmost popular and prolific Xenos character in the 40k community, solely because one piece of art cemented her as Guilliman's concubine.
>>96501117>broadsideSorry, anon mentioned pathfinder. Can't shift goalposts.
>>96501117>>96501101What's stronger, a titan void shield or an Iron halo, because some rail guns go through void shields
>>96501125>>96501131>a-all lore is marketingpseudointellectual post
>>96501136Not a particulalry high bar to be fair but I quite like that Jackal as well.
>>96501137>Even now Yvraine is still thecmost popular and prolific Xenos character in the 40k communityThat's trazyn
>>96501142All 40k lore only exists to facilitate selling of plastic toysoldiers.
>>96500656My money was on Deldar wave in 10th and Orks box to start 11th. As an Orks player now and seeing this for Deldar, my money's now on a Deldar box for 11th. Orks don't need a refresh, all our models look great except a couple of stinkers from the Snaggas wave.
>>96500345uhh does she know shes Dark Eldar?
>>96501142It's all to convince you to buy more dudes, retard. It's why whenever a new named or centerpiece model drops it gets some fluff article or book wanking it off.
>>96501151Trazyn is popular but Yvraine has more porn. For now.
>>96501152>>96501155thank you for proving my point
>>96501153>my money's now on a Deldar box for 11thyour money is lost thengive it up and post your orks
>>96501162>GW doesn't want you to buy warhammer 40k shit actually
>>96501162NTA but what the fuck do you think the lore is for then, smartass? Let's hear it.
I said Grey Knights vs Chaos Daemons 11th edish starter boxyou said nuh oh gonna be dark elderI said they will never put fetish kink ladys in a starter box that gets bought by moms for timmys birthday present. Now DE comes earlytold u so
>>96501162So I guess it's just grand coincidence that Lion-O got a new model and a new book at the same time?
>>96500945>Chaos space marines are not equivalent.They're literally marines ¡but! ¡le! ¡spiky!
>>96501170I imagine he'll say something retarded like space marine glazing is "organic lore" and anything where xenos get a win is "forced lore"
>>96501160>he measures popularity by porn
>>96501169Nobody said that retardthe tyranid victory was planned from the start to make the faction that just got 18 year old sculpts refreshed look interesting to new players by having them beat the expected victor>>96501170>>96501177You're really braindead aren't you
>>96501173It's gonna be Ultramarines vs Orks.
>>96501197>no answerlol
>>96501190Space marines winning is "organic lore" because space marines are really that powerful.A single space marine can take on 100 orks at once and come out on top without a scratch.
>>96500939Fuck off u/shas_kais
>>96501206I gave you an answerIf you think I was saying lore isn't marketing you're incapable of reading
>>96501173>Chaos Daemons 11thNo. There is no chaos and there never will be. Marines now and forever.
>>96501185And yet they're not equivalents in gw's eyes.Marines are what they are because they're easy to paint, the relative good guys of the faction, uncomplicated for autists, and have an enormous range for whales to lose themselves into.Chaos marines don't offer the same.
>>96501210>lorelet secondary takeCalled it lmao.
>>96501220>minute apartdon't samefag your own shitty bait like that
>>96501197>Nobody said that retardYes you did. You said GW wasn't attempting to market 40k
>>96500939>It's the conflict where the Raven Guard lost their chapter master and were brought to the edge of extinction.Big deal.Same happened to the Imperial Fists during the War of the Beast and that was actually a threat for the Imperium, and Imperium came out victorious from that conflict and the Imperial Fists were rebuilt anyway.
>>96501215>still evading the question
>>96501195Name a more popular Eldar character than Yvraine.
>>96501197>no answerI accept your concession, now shut the fuck up retard.
>>96501227And now we've hit the schizocope phase.
>>96501231No, I didn'tThank you for admitting you can't read>>96501234Spelled it out for you here mongoloid, read the first response and maybe it'll get through your thick skull finally >>96501197
>>96501239Macha.
>>96501253Why is Macha popular, anon?
>>96501220>muh secondaryIt's not secondary, that's actually true.It's how both novels and codexes portray marines, ie. as invincible demigods.Even the most recent SM2 game supports this where both Titus and even "average joe" riff raff marines stomp the fuck out of hundreds if not thousands of gants. A game which GW was heavily involved in during developement so the studio gets the game right.
>>96501198close: crimson fists vs orksat least for the cinematic trailer and launch box, then the normal starters will keep using the ultramarines schemeRemember, 40 years of Warhammer 40k.
>>96501241read, retard >the tyranid victory was planned from the start to make the faction that just got 18 year old sculpts refreshed look interesting to new playersthat's not saying lore isn't marketing, that's saying you trying to discount this blatant fact by saying ALL lore is marketing is completely irrelevant
I was hoping for some covens models, but at least one of the new archons looks kinda okay. The pose is still awful, but it could be salvaged.A wrack upgrade sprue would be nice, GW, if you're reading these threads.
>>96501271No. It's just going to be Ultramarines vs Orks. That's the standard.
>>96501219>easy to paintIron Warriors aren't harder than any Loyalist faction.>the relative good guys of the faction"the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable" -Warhammer:Rouge Trader (1st ed) on what the Imperium is>uncomplicated for autists???>and have an enormous range for whales to lose themselves intoWho's fault is that.

>>96501239Jain Zar, Lelith, Yriel, Eldrad, the visarch.
>>96501233The Sisters of Silence defeated the Beast(s).The Imperial Fists were secretly rebuilt using chapters from their bloodline and one chapter that wasn't. So in essence, the Imperial Fists ceased to be. The Imperial Fists thereafter are not really the Fists.The Raven Guard would have been fucked if the Primaris weren't revealed

It's a vicious cycle, yes, but gw isn't breaking it because it keeps making money
>>96501271>latnix panderingcringe, but I can see it
>>96501310Imperial Fists were remade from their successors, ie. chapters which are founded and created with Imperial Fists geneseed.Also there was an Imperial Fists survivor, Slaughter he was the last man standing and was then made the chapter master.Imperial Fists never died out.Again, this isn't a big deal.Marine chapters getting nearly wiped or taking heavy casualties is just an average tuesday for the Imperium and marines.This shit has happened to the Blood Angels like 4 different times and thye always bounced back.
>>96501319>this character is the most popular in the community outside the community!
>>96501268bideogamms
>>96501358Let me open a lore source:>The forging of power armour either takes years or decades. Space Marines might be forced to mesh mash armor pieces from different marks due to a lack of corresponding set pieces>The recruitment process takes a long time and few recruits ever make it out. Even the scout phase is dangerous and a few survive.Sounds like a big deal if a chapter suffered heavy losses.
>>96501351>for the simple mind of the simpleton meant to be caught by the marine filterseething /v/ermin lmao
Ork bros, are we still thinking we will be in the starter box?
>>96501339No, the discussion is about actual 40k fans, not whatever clique of porn addicts you mistake for fellow hobbyists.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
Is there any reason to ever equip a Palatine with a bolt pistol over a plasma pistol? Other than looks?Both have one attack, both hit on 2+, plasma has higher strength (S7 vs S4), plasma has AP-2 and plasma has the option of supercharging.
>>96501351>iron warriors in particular require freehanded stripesNormal iron warriors don't have stripes.>are worseCan google what the word "imaginable" means for me real quick. There is no worse.>It's a vicious cycleActually having a healthy game makes more money in the long term.
>>96501390>but this text saysIt's not a big deal and doesn't matter because they recovered from it anyway. And they've done so multiple different times.It'd be an actually big deal if it actually stuck. Or that GW just completely kills of a popular known chapter, but they won't do that because it is pointless and GW wants to keep the status quo of the setting.
>>96501398No, /v/ermins are caught by the same filter all the same.You can go ask any store manager what they're told as the reason to push marines onto newcomers, especially younger kids, and tricking them to get into a product line too large to collect is half the reason, the other half is that after they've wasted enough money into marines they'll be hooked by the sunken cost but move to other factions, because marines are often too simple or too bland for advanced hobbyists.
>>96501417no, plasma is always superiorbuild whichever looks cooler and use plasma rules, next edition they might introduce wargear costs for it though.
>>96501398>marine filter>seething /v/ermin lmaoHey anon who's the main character of every 40k video game, and who's the main antagonist.
>>96501329This is something that /40kg/ tends to overlook.Most 40k fans don't actually play tabletop. In fact many will openly disparage and insult the models and tabletop game for buying into GW products.
>>96501429The Marines Malevolent took years and many desperate plundering of other Imperials to recover their loss in equipment and manpower.
>>96500923only a thing amongst Iron Warriors, Night Lords and to a lesser degree Alpha Legion fags
>>96501446>>96501436that guy pisses and shits himself the second someone insults his favorite space soldiers, ignore
>>96501421>There is no worse.Yes, there is, chaos is worse, if you need something conciliate your autism with this fact and that quote, then you've got to understand that chaos is worse in unfathomable ways, on top of being worse also by not being a regime.>Actually having a healthy game makes more money in the long term.There's a balance to be struck between generating money by dumping as much as possible into what currently generates the most, letting the rest wither, and curate the setting as a whole so the overall thing grows more than it would otherwise, on the long term.
>>96501437I like the aesthetics of both, so looks wise I don't care. Plus I mostly build and paint because I like the characters. I've lost every single game I played, but it doesn't really matter to me. Plus if my opponent is happy to get a win, even nicer for him
>>96501451Wow, and they still recovered to full strength and still exists?Fucking wow, I'm so flabbergasted, it's such a big deal.
>>96501492You're right losing WWII wasn't a big deal for Germany because they still exist.
>>96501451It's funny to me that MM and GK can spend entire campaigns methodically slaughtering imperial forces, but Huron got his ass excommunicated because he didn't pay taxes.
>>96501499Yeah, arguably it wasn't.Wow there was some dumbshit war like 80 years ago? And I'm supposed to give a shit?
Malys getting a model confirms we're getting Jaghatai this edition.Malys is going to take over Commoragh by letting him loose against Vect, with him escaping afterwards. Naturally Malys will think of Jaghatai as a handsome brute and will go chasing after him while claiming she's 'going raiding'.
>>96501517To be fair the effects and influences of the war still strongly lingers.And the imperial guard is basically ww2 armies in space.
>>96501527You high?
>>96501527wew, this actually makes a bit of sense
>>96501527This would be so funny if real
>>96501527This would be more entertaining than anything they've done with the Lion so far.
>>96501447>This is something that /40kg/ tends to overlook.I don't think so, there are literally only a couple people here that play games. A fair number of modelposters openly admit they either don't play anymore or never played in the first place.
>>96500334To be fair, Wyches are an amazing kit and i do not think their upgrade will be a good one.
>>96501540It makes sense anon. GW isn't blind, they know how much gossip Guilliman and Yvraine caused just by being in the same room one time. This time they can lean into it with Malys since she's a full blown Dark Eldar.
>>96501527I know this probably won't happen and is essentially a schizo delusion but holy fuck this would actually be really cool
>>96501527Khan will return on a cool jetbike with his eldar gf sitting behind him on the bike.Malys is just a woman who wishes she could be his side hoe.
>>96500469No ass - no purchase
>>96500833I got a good feeling about this. They will get the Death Guard writers and get a top notch codex with great fluff and strong rules.
>>96501536I really don't care about shit that happened almost a century ago.It was just yet another case of the old and bitter tricking the young and stupid to kill each other.
>>96501527Too good for british caliphate company
>>96501588dont understand why BL hasn't done an escape from commorragh story. like you have a group of prisoners (guardsman, eldar, squat, marine, tau, maybe an ork) and they all come up with some plan and off you go (even if they fail). could even foreshadown something with the Khan.
>>96501578>GW isn't blind, they know how much gossip Guilliman and Yvraine caused just by being in the same room one timeThey sure don't. They purge the entire Yinnari storyline because it's dumb. And probably because of all the meme as well.
>>96500221TQGetting properly started on my army. I’m letting my job burn me out and so I don’t get much painting done as it makes me tired.
This is a Public Announcment:The Dark Eldar refresh ritual posting will continue forthwith until they get the proper refresh. Two models doesnt count.>>96501574They should do a special unit of Hekatrix bloodbrides that can look more like Dark Elf Witch Elves, the current wyches are fine for the basics but I want properly elegent gladiatrixes.
>>96501598Fair enough.It’s fine if you don’t care and you’re right about the young being tricked into killing each other.
>>96501621kill yourself
>>96501527I want the Khan do have actually built a mini kingdom mongolian Conan style in commoragh as a way of torturing the deldar for stealing his people and he goes on vision quests in the webway while high on super drugs. He has his own spire and tries to save humans worth saving who have been enslaved and he secretly likes the positive attention he gets in the Arena.
>>96501621It is a refresh.They refreshed the archon model.It counts.
>>96501611>BL hasn't done an escape from commorragh storySomething similar happened with space furries
>>96501611Silent HuntersAun'shiDa Big DakkaThese stories are about escape from the Dark City.
>>96501468You're the only one pissing and shitting because your worthless xenos/guard aren't popular and never will be lmao
>>96501509keep in mind, they're brits. a spot o knife foightan is just what the yoots do
>>96501637Yea, and put him in the Deldar codex to make marine fags seethe.
>>96501650How is silent hunters?
>>96501611You do this in Rogue Trader crpg
>>96501527>Malys not even revealed for a day>Already being given to a PrimarchAs it should be.
>>96501621I knew you were always going to be an annoying fuck about it.
>>96501239Marahzai and Yrliet have more fanworks than Yvraine got in a decadeIdk how you'd judge somthing like that desu
>>96501717Raszard doesn't count that guy's fucking autistic
>>96501611>escape from commorragh storyAct 3 of the Rogue Trader vidya takes place entirely on cumrag. You get captured and tortured, lose all your gear, and slowly have to get your shit together while retrieving your companions and recruiting the Space Wolf (and possibly the Drukhari that tortured you[who you can romance])
>>96501741I was told you can romance female elves in those games
>>96501574i'd rather use witch aelves, i think they look better
I feel like GW can’t decide if it wants the Imperium to be a reasonable modern place to live so people root for it more unironically and relate to it more but still wants to keep things grimdark but they have no idea how to do that
>>96501761So the Imperium is very large and doesn't have a good centralized government, so the living standard on Imperial worlds very wildly.
>>96501752Romance is a strong word.Yrliet's also a stupid cunt who barely qualifies as a Craftworlder.
>>96501761Who has trouble rooting for the Imperium against daemons and killer aliens?
>>96501752In Owlcat games you can romance elves, but the Eldar romance in Rogue Trader is purely spiritual. Only the Drukhari wants to fuck(physically). If you initiate physical contact with the Aeldari female, the Romance fails.
>>96501752Yes you can. But you can only fuck the male Dark Eldar. (or he can fuck you)
>>96501711To be fair I am not the original guy who posts every day but the wheel has been put in motion now, so I will continue.
>>96501791What about all the human separatists they fight all the time in the lore?
>>96501785>>96501799Sacrificing her Soulstone to Slannesh is the only right option.
>>96501761Pretty shitty take. GW has been very consistent that THE IMPERIUM is downright malicious and cruel, but individuals within it can be good.Within the universe, it fights more evil guys 90% of the timeThe issue is the fanbase trying to act like the Imperium does nothing wrong, when GW never claimed anything like it.
>>96501825>the Imperium is oppressing us! freedom now!
>>96501726based autist, making new "meme" every other day since game releasehttps://imgur.com/a/raszard-autism-r0o4Pr0
>>96501761This Imperium?
i fear the Dark Elder update will be blant as fuck. No gore, no body horror, no sex just elder but black armour
>>96501527What's up with primarchtroons craving eldar? Some of the DA gayboys even tried to meme an exodite gf into existence for lionel even though he's clearly obsessed with little boy pussy (he spent 10K years in a slumber party with his jawas)
>>96501882oh no, is it just gonna be upgrade sprues
>>96501887It's all Eldar are good for.
>>96501611>could even foreshadown something with the Khan.Why'd you have to make it gay at the last second?
>>96501791I support rasist nazi elfs-bakers from uthopia spaceship society against was/were braindead barbarians, ugly daemons and other shit
>>96501853>No, you can't worship that chaos god.>You have to worship the yellow one!
>>96501893Sounds like big jelly to me.
>>96501887Space marine bois can't handle the fact that their big gay bosses are gay, not women's favorites
>>96501136>>96501148ur both faggots
>>96501882>No gore, no body horror, no sexnone of this is present on any of their current models other than the haemonculi covens
>>96501761Remember that the cruelest and bloodiest regime ever known to mankind STILL says heckin trans rights are human rights!This means trans rights are cruel and bloody, inhuman practices
Lorefags are the only thing worse than paintfag.
>>96501917>big jellyGood way to describe Yvraine's ass
New de models are kinda disappointing
>>96501865>YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO CHEER THEM! THAT IMAGE IS MAKING FUN OF YOU!
>>96501882So everything will stay the exact same save for being cast in modern plastic? That doesn't sound so bad.
>>96501761I remember Priestley said in one interview or whatever it was that Imperium intentions are good and Imperium does everything it can to help Mankind. And the best they can do is such a dysfunctional and cruel system. I swear I had it saved even, but can't find it for now in an absolute mess that is my 40k folderStill what GW does is pretty clear. They present this cruel, authoritarian government as cool, badass and ultimately good. Setting itself is written and presented completely seriously. And any time some sort of political shitflinging is close to happen, they just resort to their "it's just a satire" excuse, only to make another 30 books about adventures and feelings of their racist space knights.
>>96501945Big fan of AI security cameras are you?
>>96501527>JaghataiYou've got problems, man
>>96501527it's lemon next, it's already confirmed
I really hope the next Primarch we get is the hawk boy. Entirely because as a sadist I want to sample the wonderful nerd rage.
>>96501985bout time, the imperium needs its enforcer back
>>96501863He's not based, he's pretty obnoxious.
>>96501988never reply to me again decalmutant
>>96501993I'll reply to whoever I want you little twerp
I am so glad I stocked up on four of the prior Dark Eldar Combat Patrols now. Feels good.
>>96501985Leman is coming end of 11th. He'll rescue Isha which will finally cement the alliance between the Imperium and the Eldar. Meanwhile the Dark Eldar will fully ally with Abaddon because Malys got tired of being rejected by Jaghatai and Abaddon's getting the rebound.
>>96501987Hawk boy? As in the big gay vampire or the big gay bird?
>another primarchGathering Storm and its consequences have been a disaster for the fidelity of Warhammer 40,000.

>people being critical of paintjobs when they have little to no skill themselvesShould this be allowed? I guess music and food critics exist where said individuals cannot play music or cook anything worthwhile respectively
>>96502007nope, lemon is coming end of 10th, yiff codex confirmed it
>>96501687A good read.
>>96502004>4 how much fucking DE could you possibly need?
>>96502012My list is transport heavy. Six raiders, three ravagers. Might even toss another Kabalite unit in in Venoms for how cool they look.
>>96502018Did the wolfbell finally wolfchime, howlnouncing the wolfcoming of the yifftimes?
>>96502016If you can create an objective scale you can judge a paintjob on execution of that scale, just like gymnastics.
>>96502039Leman is the main character of 40k and you're just going to have to deal with it.
Ork refresh iz coming, I can feel it lads
So, basically…A Guard video game would be like Call of DutyWe already have Space Marine gamesA Tyranid game would be like EvolveA Tau game would be like HelldiversBut what would a Necron or Eldar game be like?
>>96502052>A Tau game would be like Helldivers Well, I hope they wouldn't program all the enemies to intentionally miss all the time.
>>96502052Necrons>4x/grand stratEldar>immersive sim
>>96502052>Necron gameDungeon Keeper>Eldar gameOregon Trail
>>96502052Any Warhammer game which focuses on a single faction is a dumb design and such game would always be better if multiple factions were playable.
>>96501930lorefags === poorfags
>>96502049>I'M THE YIFFATAR AND YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT
>>96502030I still want a few units of Reaver jetbikes and maybe a jet honestly. Also the two Venoms and a fifth Kabalite squad to toss in them.
>>96502094why?
>>96502050Lending you my energy. I have 40 boyz unbuilt but I decided I'll wait to see if a new kit comes out in 11th
>>96501621based
>>96502052>NecronThe Mechanicus game but from the opposing perspective>EldarMetal Gear Rising
>>96502094That’s not really possible. You couldn’t have a game that combines the disposable indoctrinated meat waves of the Tau with the more elite and well-trained and equipped forces of the Imperium or Eldar.
>>96502018Nope
>>96500345Holy fuck. Is it too much to ask for a female archon that takes after the style of the lhamaean model. God fucking dammit. I just want my dark lady/seductress metal album vibe.
>>96502133just proxy it then you dumbfuck
>>96502098> three = signsWebdev fag detected. Opinion discarded. Go write some real software, faggot.
>>96502052>NecronTomb Builder Sim. Like Dungeon Keeper.>EldarDating sim. Naturally you play as a young and handsome Imperial diplomat.
>>96501761I think its more everyone gets to roleplay the fascist racist authoritarian as a treat, so it doesnt matter if you are a femoid or black or a romanian gypsy or whatever. Just because the imperium gives equal opportunity to commit genocide doesnt mean its woke or socially advanced, it just directs its hate at the psyker and the mutant and the xenos.>>96501853So much for the tolerant left
>>96502133I actually like most of the new model, I think it's only the torso that's bad. It looks way too broad/masculine. I'm not even saying this in a "it needs to be more sexy" way, it just looks like they legitimately slapped a female had onto a male torso, added titplate, and called it a day.
>>96501930>PaintfagThe fuck is a paintfag? Unironically kill yourself.
>>96502133you can just paint the same model with villainess make up dog.
>>96502158This, but ironically
>>96502094Autism
Wait, there are paintfags in this general? How embarrassing
>>96502004>they announce the new shitty ones>even my european backwater suddenly has these nowhere in stock despite being flooded in them before
>>96502107It's needlessly limiting and wasteful. Any expansion of such a game would require branching out and including more factions anyway. It's what Mechanicus did already, by having playable Necrons in a sequel and Votann showing up. Eventually every faction from Guard to Marines to Eldar will become playable in Mechanicus series, which is just a tactics game in practice. So why even call it after name of a single faction to begin with?Space Marine also should have playable Nids, Orks and Chaos in PvE too, because it's just an action game ultimately. People complain about this since first game release. It's the natural evolution for this sort of a game.Vermintide too had to stop being Vermintide only and suddenly you fight Norscans and Beastmen too in a sequel and will fight even more enemies in VT3. With everyone wanting to fight Undead alreadyNone of faction deserve a game only for them, they aren't distinct enough for this.
>wasn't gonna have time to paint yesterday>got to carve out 40 minutes to work on my dudes>looks like im gonna have time today alsoFuck yea everything's coming up Anon.
>>96502094Mechanicus, Space Marine, Space Marine 2 and Darktide all focus on a single faction you dipshit autist.
>>96502190and that's wrong
>>96502138No shit, Sherlock, but on the rare occasion, it's sometimes nice to have official confirmation that the GW doesn't absolutely despise your faction and it's systematically pulling them apart year over year.>>96502153She needs to be in more of a dress. Replace the torse with something akin to a corset - if not outright a corset. And if they want to insist upon using that cad-ass looking face, then at least use the veil option as the primary head for the showcase (DE need more sexy women in veils or masks, honestly). Everything else is good enough, I suppose.
>>96502187>paintfags
>>96502181This is some high quality shitposting anon. Carry on.
>>96502158Paintfag is a new insult some anons are trying to push.It’s basically like going to a forest and complaining about seeing trees. Or a desert and complaining that there is sand.Just learn to laugh at the pitiful pushing.
Somebody suggested that the Hive Mind was just pretty hungry, but being in the milky way was so shitty it learned to hate and I can't stop thinking about it
>>96502196how is this shitposting
>>96502195Uh oh, waacfag melty
>>96502201So 40k fans prefer greytide?
>>96502194>She needs to be in more of a dress.I think you can get away with armor, but the armor should've been more form fitting and she should've been in a more poised, graceful pose. The jagged shoulderpads and awkwardly twisted torso really aren't doing her any favors.
>>96502218Unironically yes. Number of people who paint their models >>> number of people who don't.
>>96502218>or an lgs and complaining about seeing greytideThat’s pretty good anon.>or /40kg/ and complaining about autists

>>96502194>it's sometimes nice to have official confirmation that the GW doesn't absolutely despise your faction and it's systematically pulling them apart year over year.yeah they're really doing that by releasing a model that's in-line with the aesthetic of the faction's models for the last 20 years just shut the fuck up you larper
how many of your actually play and collect Gene Stealers tell me RIGHT NOW
>>96502244>basefag, models aren't put together, the base is the only thing representing said models

>>96502201>some anonsIt's unironically secondaries and tertiaries that pollute this thread. Trying to desperately push the idea that they're the same part of the fandom as people that actually engage in the hobby. Absolutely pathetic.
>>96502255Most of my boys. I really should paint and play again, it's been a few months.
>>96502181Its not. Eldar still not represented in battlesector. And thats good
does it matter if i give hearthkyn ion blasters or bolters?
People dont unironically laugh at others that partake in this hobby do they? Its just shitposting, r-right?

>>96502355>he doesn't make it steel rain on them hoes
>>96502060When they were programmed to hit all the time the game was unplayably bad.
>>96502317Anon I have some bad news for you. This general is ironically one of the kindest online outlets for 40k for anyone who isn't an Imperium fan. Out there you have people who will insult and degrade you for even talking good about xenos or Chaos. There are BL fans who will treat you with scorn if you so much as bring up the tabletop game. Painting tends to catch significantly less flak, but you're also gojng to be endlessly exposed to professional painters posting pics of their showcase pieces.People here are assholes but 98% of the time it's not spiteful or hateful, and a fair chunk of the time it's just somebody being intentionally dumb to stir up conversation.
>>96500318It would look better if she had stirrups and kept the heels.
>>96502368I figure when people insult me its all in good fun and people are just bored.
>>96502338As pictured. Primus and benefictus each in a group of neophytes, nexos alongside the primus. Metamorphs and acolytes each get an iconward for that sweet FNP.The abominant usually rides in the rockgrinder and gets out to smash things.Reductus and sanctus just inflitrate somewhere and try to do damage or do objectives. The sanctus even got a scout move from playing crusade, shit is cash.
>>96502379Doakes.jpg
>>96502303Without them who would post? The modelfags dont
>>96502366If only there was an intermediate moderate position between these two things that most video games use.
>>96502219>I think you can get away with armorTechnically, yes, but I think they should be working to differentiate her more from the standard archon. If they wanted to give the generic female archon sleaker and more form-fitting armour (which they don't, and didn't do, judging by the new archon model), I'd be fine with that. Malys, on the other hand, is close to the pinnacle of Dark Eldar society, so her design should be more idiosyncratic - and like you said, more poised and graceful.
>>96502133Proxy Yvraine, then. She was supposed to be Malys, anyway.
>>96502368>being intentionally dumb to stir up conversationI feel so seen
Why refresh archon and not something that needed it more? it is older but doesn’t look bad
I just started orks.
Nice.
>>96502396To me the problem is the extremely generic pose. It's not BAD bad in isolation, but when every other character has that same exact pose or some slight variation the model loses a lot of flavor. I think there should be be more thought to how poses convey an army's feel a lot more than GW has been giving.
>>96502406Are they blue?
>>96502400The old one did look lame compared to the previous one, the new one is a vast improvement too.
>>96502396Yeah, I feel like the armor should be lighter and have some sort of dress-like jacket or at the very least add some flowing sleeves to it. The buttskirt is nice but you also need loose, flowing arm garments if you're going to make a fan-dancer character. Even male battlefan users aren't exempt from this ironclad rule.
>>96502433No, red or yellow with black leather.
>>96502368You mean 40ksubreddits are actually more toxic than here? Even grimdank?I skinmed some out of morbid curiosityGrimdank is a mess of horny posting political dick waving and the same boring overused formats.
>>96500752Some one took a pic from Facebook about that guys models and posted the question, shitstorm ensued. It only happened a few months ago. Not deep.
>>96502406Fuck yeah. What kind of ork force are you gonna make?
>>96502052>eldarMetal gear rising/stellar blade if you play a scorpion or a banshee
>>96502450sure but Succubus probably needed a refresh more
>>96500923I don't know but I get pissed off when people say shit like>Iron Warrior's aren't chaos. They don't worship any of the gods and cut their mutated limbs off and replace it with machinery Meanwhile Storm of Iron has a khorne berzerker and the warsmith ascends to a demon prince.
>>96502469He was memeing, this is unironically one of the worst places to discuss 40k, the only reason people stomach it is because it's not a left leaning shithole like literally every other place on the internet.
>>96502004on one hand i really wish i picked up such a legendarily good combat patrolon the other hand, at least i didn't get models that got refreshed pretty soon anyways
>>96502492I thought the iron warriors are chaos space marines in denial or bitterly hate that they are chaos space marines. While some embrace it but not all of them. Am I wrong?
>>96502469Yes anon very much so.Grimdank and r/40k are hugboxes that cant refrain from politics posting and r/horusgalaxy and it's bastard children are full of unironic nazis
>>96502492Brutal Kunnin also has an Iron Warrior summoning a daemon and making a deal with it to house it in an engine. Not forcibly locking it into a daemon engine, but respecting its power and offering the engine as a body/temple glorifying its might.
>>96502497Fair enough. I always feel like everyone in the other spots conduct themselves in a way where they fear offending each other that’s why I use /40kg/.I just can’t stand navigating minefields of egg shields.
>>96502469Redditors recycle content for upvotes, and discussion will never get upvotes like art does.Grimdank is peak Reddit with the same unfunny shit in every comment section, blatant fetish posting and obligatory politics.I've been playing Rogue Trader and that sub is just Romance fanart, it's insane.
>>96500923it has more to do with that the CSMs who actually have stories dedicated to them are guys who feel to good for chaosCSMs who actually love chaos and have stories where that not 1 dimensional cannon fodder are few and far between
>>96502498I honestly prefer the 5e kits - and earlier metals and plastics for Dark Eldar. The new Archon might be acceptable, but the beauty of it all is even if the line refreshes I can use my Deldar with anything mini agnostic or old versions of 40k.
>>96502508No one wants to be the subject of the 2 minutes of hate, but everyone loves a target for it. These people really enjoy being nasty and as long as it's directed at the "right" people they'll go to town just so they can feel self-righteous. I think these people have so little control over their lives they cling to spaces that give them any sense of power, however little.
>>96500792>anti woke propagandaNo such thing.
>>96501447>many will openly disparage and insult the models and tabletop game for buying into GW products.The only warhammer fans I've ever seen do this are the ones already buying the tabletop minis.
>>96502425I think you problems you and >>96502457 are touching on are joined at the hip. The fundamental character design here (you might call it boring, but I'll outright call it bad) is lacking, so the personality of the model suffers. This lack of personality follows through into the posing, as there are no design elements/personality to really draw out, convey, or emphasize. You're ultimately left with an unremarkable character model in an unremarkable pose.
>>96502508NTA but the smaller faction subreddits are somewhat tolerable but they still fall into reddits pitfalls of toxic positivity and circlejerking. 4chan has its own problems but at least you don't need to tiptoe around every single fucking post and if someone is being an idiot you can call him a niggerfaggot and you won't get banned for it. Nobody here is afraid to criticise your shit painting out of fear of being downvoted or whatever. Because of the fairly quick posting and banter there's actually some sense of community too, which you'll never get on reddit. It's just a shame /40kg/ is such a mess, smaller generals like /wip/ are unironically some of the best places for their respective topics on the internet.
>>96502052>A Tau game would be like HelldiversIt would be like cod
>>96502508I get it, I cannot comments or post on the majority of subreddits and now I lost my last account a few weeks ago.
>>96502052>A Guard video game would be like Call of Duty>A Tau game would be like Helldiversother way around, anon
>>96502557Yeah pretty much. Hell it even extends to the face, what exactly is this trying to convey? Smug superiority? Grim determination? Crafty scheming? Because it's none of those things, it's just a kinda generic resting bitch face glare. Like one you'd slap on a generic troop model rather than a centerpiece character. It's why the veiled face works so much better, as the lack of a visible face at least gives it an air of mystique. Unfortunately, that veil doesn't really flow well with the stiff, jagged armor.

>>96502595That's because you're an autistic retard that doesn't understand you have to play by the rules of the place you're using. Funnily enough you have the exact same issues here and the only reason you can still post is because 4chan has no way of permabanning people that have dynamic ip or use different devices.

>>96502629I think you're reading a bit to much into things anon but good luck with whatever it is you're talking about.
why is 1ksons the only chaos legion where beastmen have such a focus?they had the opportunity to fill out the ranks of Emperor's Children with their beastmen but didn't
>>96502499no, that's fanficeven their WH+ shitty episode has them all drenched in chaos iconography
GET FUCKED GREY KEKS
>>96502639nobody cares about EC and everybody hates tzaangors

>>96502595>Anon is too stupid to turn on the Gellar Field during Warp Travel
>>96502608I don't dislike the facial features, I just think the expression is lacking.>>96502609I'm not even discussing the paintjob, I'm addressing the expression ON the model, dipshit. I don't even think the face itself is bad, I just think it's a bit flavorless. Compare it to >>96502133, where the expression is pretty close to the same, but between her more angular features, the arched eyebrow, and the overall outfit and pose being more "classy", it gives off the impression of a smug aristocrat. You can instantly tell what kind of character lhamaean is just from her model, whereas I don't get that as much from the fanlady.
>>96502609NTA but that face is actually painted fairly well, it doesn't have the usual overly defined features.
>>96502665ahh you're a retard, makes sense
>>96502639That’d require GW giving the remotest of a shit about EC.
>>96502662Classic black templar
>>96502657did 7th still have ignore wounds if the weapon str was too low?
>>96502680They have full codex
>>96502654Hi
>>96502678What's got your ass so blasted?
>>96502606you don't kill space marines in helldivers, you kill hordes of low level shitters by running around shooting left and right with little strategy and an intended atmosphere of over the top cinematography hell, both helldivers and the imperial guard have the same "dna" inherited from starship troopers meanwhile in cod at the very least there's a vague attempt to present realism
>>96502698It's probably the usual GW defender/shill, ignore
>>96502657>Its just 7th edition minus the bad stuffbut you just said templates and a whole phase for psychic are back?!?
>>96502692“Full” didn’t even get the CSM toys that the other legions kept
>>96502690You mean for vehicles? Or for regular fellas.For vehicles yeah for regular fellas no i dont think so but its been a while

>>96502702Insane and delusional post. You have never read the Starship troopers book if you think the Imperial Guard is anything like it.

>>96502733I blame comp players
>>96502711>>96502690A weapon couldn't wound a regular dude if their toughness was double the strength.
>>96502659Orks are widely considered to be a comic relief faction with an overall leader who lusts after a human.
>>96502619You're setting yourself up for disappointment.It's just going to be regular Ultras vs Orks.
>>96502742Oh I was assuming you weren't retarded. The movie came out in 1997. I figured you knew that.
>>96502750Sounds reasonable to me desu. Wouldnt expect a bolt pistol to be able to wound a great unclean one
>>96502754and the 3e cadians that defined their aesthetic came out in 2003 retard
>>96502207Because your takes are trash, you fucking retard.
>>96502725And then Roboute swallows his pride and admits that Leman's fearless heroics have scored greater triumphs than his own soul-crushing bureaucracy ever did. Everybody claps.
>>96502720Because they fucking sucked to use in practice and caused so many arguments.
>>96502770Damn that would be dope and then Leman kills the Emperor so he is reincarnated (He learned this from the Warp)
>>96500410Is that a female Archon?
>>96502619>OMG le space marine is a slightly different color AND played by le heckin Oberyn Martell!I unironically want James to release Chapter themed buttplugs just to see how many marine piggies will actually buy them

>>96502793keep seething about your superiors
>>96502781>Caused so many argumentsSounds like your lgs is filled with assholes, never had this issue
>>96502703It's funny, because I've said there's things about the model I actually like - the buttskirt and scorpion tail ornament are great, for example - but I do agree there's a certain saucelessness to the model. If I was to put on my tinfoil cap, I'd say it's because a lot of these named character models are meant to be stand-in for book characters - or have their character expanded upon in books - nowadays rather than the sum total of a character being condensed into a model as your primary understanding of that character. The new primaris lieutenant is a good example of what I mean: the model on the face of it is just a generic primaris lieutenant, nothing particularly good or bad about it. Just a generic lieutenant in a generic pose. But he's BATTLE BROTHER GLUPIUS SHITTORIUS from BOOK SERIES so you're supposed to pog out over him. It kinda reminds me of the Disney Star Wars approach to worldbuilding, where they release tepid primary media and then expect you to chase down all the supplementary media to make it make sense, rather than releasing primary media good enough to make me WANT to chase down supplementary media.
In Age of the Emperor the eldar, the necrons and the imperium will join hands and create the forces of order. It will happen.
>>96502800>anecdotal evidence reliable? Local man says "yes"
>>96502761Imperial Guards were first mentioned in White Dwarf in 1989, and got extra official GW rules in 2e 1995. So the Imperial Guard can't be inspired by a 1997. Cadia can be but that's a different matter from what you said.
New thread?
>>96502810the guard models in RT/2e didn't look anything like cadians you fucking retard, you were getting things like praetorians and last chancers
>>96502750i think that's better system than current where weapon strength doesn't really matter if you can do 20+ shots in a turn with sus1+lethal
>>96502806>EldarDriven extinct. The last of them, the mad seer Yvraine, was hunted down and consumed by Fulgrim himself.>NecronsEnslaved to the will of Imotekhash, the Transcendent Stormlord, following Imotekh's ascension to becoming a C'tan.
>>96502816Don't forget the Necromunda Spiders!
>>96502601just look at all that classic dark eldar personality on display
>>96502806>eldar and necrons working together>ever
>>96502834>He never read the Ynnari booksBoy you're in for a surprise.
>>96502816... so you are pretending that you didn't say the Imperial Guard is inspired by Starship troopers the 1997 movie. >>96502702 Cadia isn't mentioned in your post.
>>96502837They've utterly backtracked on everything in those books
>>96502841Too late, already canon :)
>>96502838I'm not the original guyand cadians are the defining guardsorry your autistic ass can't handle the fact that your hipster gotcha didn't pan out
I don't like Malys' face. It doesn't really look eldar-ish
>>96502799>superiorsGood piggy, keep racking up that credit card debt just to rebuy slightly different versions of the same models every three years
>>96502864have you bought any models to begin with?
>>96502846>The Ynnari Diversiteam broke up and returned to their original factions>ynnari itself is an abortion of a soup subfaction>the ynnari plotline is left on a forever cliffhanger>even in lore every other eldar faction hates the ynnari>the eldar/necron teamup was only ever an implication and nothing more, it's very easy to retcon that as ynnari just pulling a prank on necronsCanon is merely a suggestion in all things Warhammer. After all, for the 10,000 years of their existence, there were always female custodes.
>>96502864this reeks of firstborn faggotry
>>96502878>Canon is merely a suggestion in all things Warhammer.Good, then it's canon that Guilliman plows Yvraine on an almost nightly basis.
>>96502880no it doesn't, it reeks of /v/ermin shitstirring
>>96502601People WANT generic resting face on female characters. Any time they’re given an expression they get called ugly because it naturally adds lines to the face.
>>96502876Yes>>96502880The Primarus thing was hilarious as far as am I considered, so no
>>96502897The Guilliman x Yvraine shipping is the only thing I've liked about primarchslop. It's cute.
>>96502908>yesMay we see?
>>96502907Which would be fine if the rest of the model conveyed any sense of character, but it doesn't.
>>96502857Well you have the veil as an option.
>>96502910The sad part is that it gives Yvraine more characterization than the actual Ynnari books did.
>>96502654CHAOS works in extremes so its hard to really make a satisfying representation to each of those extremes with limited model countsGW has given a lot of lore to each god but struggle to really develop detailsand as much as chaos fanboys want to deny this, GW has always treated chaos as the eventual threat, not so much the threat they have now. as to why representation of them in general has been pretty sparce compared to other factions. they always end up having to soup them in some wayso what ends up happening, instead of having a distinction between the space marines, the cults, daemons, this time around they've decided to soup them based on deities and undivided when before it was just marines, daemons, and the lost and the damned at one point both ways have advantages, but lots of the disadvantages that will always lead to one of your personal favorite aspects of a chaos theme being missed personally i saw let chaos have it all and let the players sort things out
>>96502848My "hipster" gotcha did work. A 1997 movie can't inspore a 1989 magazine.
>>96502913No
>>96502931I always found the ynnari kinda super gay since they excluded my favorite units from both factions of eldar (Wraithlords and Haemonculi covens), so all I can say is hella deserved.
>>96502967I accept your concession
>>96502962it didn't, you're a braindead mongoloid cycling back to an irrelevant point>>96502967kinda weird, almost like you don't own any
>>96502975>Irrelevant point the words "he" said.He said the Imperial Guard were inspired by/riping off Starship Troopers. Is this true or false.
>>96503002true, because cadians are the guard
>>96502970>>96502975NTA but didn't we establish you should post your own first when asking for someones models?
>>96502052Necrons have reanimation protocols to have soulsborne gameplay. Maybe have a Sekiro like mechanic where each reanimation fucks the tomb world in some way.
>>96503014that's only when it's being used as a gotcha
>>96502601>Unfortunately, that veil doesn't really flow well with the stiff, jagged armor.Yeah, the veil needs a redesign of the armour in order not to clash. Again - it's that armour causing a major pain point. >>96502857I agree, it's lacking that angular features that put it apart from strictly being "human, but with point ears". Moreover, and this is more of a paint job thing, but her skin colour is too warm. Screams "regular Eldar", and not the pasty, deathlike complexion of the Dark Eldar.
>>96502698A dark lance is just a longer blaster.
Who else besides DEldar is waiting on their book?
>>96502930Mortal Kombat 2 is just around the corner and they drop Kitana, nice…
>>96503014You don't have to ask me twice
>>96502697I like the really big guy, the rest is kinda meh.
>>96503076Meh
>>96502052Have an Eldar game styled like Sim City where you're a bonesinger building up a new city on your craftworld.Nobody ever moves to the city because of the limit on growth never allows for the craftworld's population to grow enough to populate the city.In the end, the game randomly picks an enemy faction that invades the craftworld and marches across the city, razing everything as they go as they eventually go on to destroy the craftworld itself.
>>96503076Flat
>>96503086"meh" yourself

>>96503110wtf kind of childish response is this?>>96503108Go away schizo
>>96502975>almost like you don't own any>implying this isn't a good thing
>>96503078ironically he's the one marine in that box>>96502715it's combat stims and marine blood to make them slightly less worthless in battle
>>96502697>4 wammen
>>96502654EC cultists are coming. I can feel it.
The thread is flying today. I wish GW would release more hot ladies. The thread should be like this all the time.
>>96503184Hot ladies really are the best right anon?
>>96503040>Again - it's that armour causing a major pain point.Yup. I'm curious to see the sprue, because if you can take the legs (or at least the buttskirt), arms, and head and slap em on a different torso I think it'd be a salvageable model. I think the greatest irony would be utilizing Yvraine's model to kitbash something superior to both of em.
>>96503207ELDAR FEET SPOTTED
Can an incubi rise to the level of archon? What about a wych?
Call me Snoozius the Diurnal because it's dark outside and I'm going to sleep. G'night, 40 kilograms.
>>96503184I really hope that nature is slowly healing and we'll be getting more hot chicks in the future
How do marines field jump troops? Is it more akin to the tabletop where they're dedicated loadouts they deploy in or more like how they're depicted in things like some animations and space marine where they can request assault packs and strap in then discard them as neededThis is very important for my september kitbash
>>96500841>No xenos character is ever going to be respected*solos your entire artificial world*
>>96502735I wasn't thinking about the book, nor about the imperial guard in its first iterationyou cannot look at me straight in the post number and tell me the movie didn't have any lasting influence on the imperial guard
>>96503236good night brother
>>96503245Buddy anybody with a name can do that.
>>96503226I want to put one of the wraithguard shields on her forearm since she's holding that fan like it's a hand of yugioh cards.
>>96503264Kitbash it anon. Now I want to see it
>>96503264Wraithguard's probably too big. Autarch or Dire Avenger might work though
>>96503243they get generally assigned to the role and deployed as suchbut marines are meant to be a flexible fighting force, they can receive equipment and shift their battlefield role on the fly if necessary
>>96503273Oh yeah and I think Corsairs have a Mistshield too, might be more fitting.
>>96503271Nah I'm not planning on starting a second army any time soon. It probably would be eldar or deldar if I did tho.>>96503273Yeah true. My brain just catalogs all those duel-disk shields as "wraithguard shields" since they're most prominent on those models.
>>96503226Conceivably yes, but it's like asking if an MMA fighter could become the CEO of a legacy Fortune 500 company. Like, yeah, some wild stuff could happen and they get lucky, but it's not really what they're about.
>>96503226Most of DEldar politics is just backstabbing the guy above you until you find yourself on top of the pile and rule a kabal.DEldar society is very much like how ork society works but instead of "i am going to beat the shit out of you" it's more of "i will stab you in the back, poison you or use political trickery and maneuvering to get ahead and get you out of my way".So answer is yes.
>>96503226Everyone can become a archon. But not everyone can hold their rank
>>96503226She isnt pale enough
>>96503260Nuh-uh, Abaddon couldn't even win against Eldrad.
>>96503012False because the Guard came out in 1989 and Cadia came out in 2003. That's 14 years where the guard exists, but Cadia doesn't.
>>96503236kek, made me chuckle, anon
Can I have my entire army in drop pods and deep strike?
>>96503323Try that on the tabletop, boyo.
>>96503361Sure, bud.
Is it a reach
>>96503378Reminder that he named his ork OC "Blackhawk" after his own gay little copehawk
>>96503226both are a yes but most of the time if you wanted to be one you joined kabal instead of the other ones. Incubi are usually too much of of sword autist to actually run a crim gang. It's like if an archon decided to become a haemonculus (technically possible but gl surviving long enough as a wrack and be recognized to get un-fucked and taken into apprenticeship
>>96503378That's a female archon too.Regardless, Mike looks like a genuine wanker.
>>96503409he probably cries after sex
>>96503378I'd say he looks more like butcher
>>96503388I hope you realize how much of a faggot you are for knowing random shit about him
>>96500468My wife will get the attention she deserves one day
>>96500541I'm glad you like my model so much but I don't think it was relevant there
>>96503454someone has there target on you, I keep seeing them post your model for no reason lol
>>96503251No I can. The Federation are just a modern army with bigger stuff. It doesn't take a genius to imagine that.The Imperial guard existed to allow historical figures to be modified into 40k, so modern army but with different guns seems pretty intrinsic to the concept. I definitely don't see individual Guardsmen wiping out entire Tyrranid hives with one-shot like we see Rico do to the Empire.
>>96503318so paint yours paler?
>>96503378We should execute Mike Brooks before local muslims do it
>>96503454>I'm glad you like my model so muchI really don't think that's his reason for reposting it lol
>>96503464>The Federation are just a modern army with bigger stuffSo, you haven't read the book either
>>96503424I LEARNED IT FROM YOUNo seriously, it's these threads that cursed me with that knowledge
>>96503483You said you weren't thinking about the book.
>>96503493Get it through your thick skull that there are multiple people pointing out what a retard you are
>>96503497He said he wasn't thinking about the book
>>96503457Won't be the first or the last time. Not really worried about it. I'm pretty stoked on him so it makes no difference to me>>96503457He must really like if he saved it and shares it so much
The howling griffons deserve more prominence.
>>96503507the mobile infantry in the movie are visually inspired by alien's colonial marines which are in turn loosely inspired by the starship troopers bookcadians are the defining guard regiment, and they are inspired by the film version of the MIcope all you want, IG are starship troopers
Fart Smelldars we eating good

>>96503524>alien's colonial marines which are in turn loosely inspired by the starship troopers bookAre we talking about the alien books? The movie colonial marines are very clearly just modern military with different guns. If the book marines are anything like the book federation they did not inspire the movie anything.
>>96503565>The movie colonial marines are very clearly just modern military with different gunsOh you're RETARDED retardedExplains a lot of your posts
I like sagitaurs. They're cute.
>>96503605You haven't watched Aliens.
>>96503619apparently you haven't
>>96503524cadians literally look NOTHING like either aliens marines or ST mobile infantry what??? How retarded are you?
>>96503518Have a thunderhawk
>>96503605>>96503625Yeah you're right. I was giving to much credit. Colonial marines are just modern military. The lieutenant pulls out a normal ass modern pistol and that one guy has a sawed off modern shotgun. They are just modern military with a fancy car.
>>96503630you're genuinely blindthis has been common knowledge for the last 22 years
>>96503524Starship troopers are in battle suits in the book
>>96500656holy cope
>>96503657yes we know that
>>96503666Do you, you seem to think the movie Colonial marines are the book starship troopers.
>>96503207>I'm curious to see the sprueGoing off of modern GW sprues, it'll probably be fucking terrible. Expect to use half a pound of green stuff to fill all the gaps and replace all the stuff you have to cut or sand down.
>>96503674No, I don'tYou have no argument and you've devolved to trying to shove words in mouths to save faceOn an anonymous board no less
>>96503635I want a thundergriffon! >:(
>>96503682Eh, I've done worse. I turned the AOS ork smith character into a meganob big mek using a clusterfuck of spare bits, greenstuff, epoxy, and a heavily cut down ogryn chestpiece. Granted, orks lend themselves to sloppy chopjobs much better than deldar.
>>96503686>alien's colonial marines which are in turn loosely inspired by the starship troopers bookWell whoever >>96503524 is said that.
>>96503647I forgot autists have face blindness and can't tell shapes apart but are really good at numbers and logic. This is like the perfect encapsulation of autists not being able to understand certain things lmao
