Dataslate when
After years of sneak pic circulating and the announceof Lady Malys, got me thinking how many others interesting models do they keep locked in some half forgotten closet?
>>96506536All of them. That's how they work.MK7 Marines were also sculpted and ready for a long time, we knew this for a while already
>>96506536My schizo theory is all the bangels stuff was supposed to come out alongside mephiston or dante but got delayed so they left it to pile up. Would explain why the sg are more like primaris versions of sg than the more overt remakes like sternguard, terminators, and deathwing knights
>>96506515
>>96506536>>96506547They have most of their stuff ready for years in advance (Primaris Cato Sicarius is rumored to be done at least since 2019) but they are also clearly pivoting, like new Marines having mix & match of armor marks which seems to be the new direction with them, and this started happening after the BA refresh shitshow.
>go to 3 different hobby shops today>tfw the one technical paint im after is out of stock at all of themdidnt realise astrogranite debris was so fucking rare
>>96506581I'm sorry to tell you this but they stopped producing it a year ago.Armageddon dunes and stirland battlemire both got axed as wellSomething about manufacturing issues with the chunkier base pastes
>The Water Caste merchant has meet its match.
Is this the first cute elf GW has ever done?I hope DE get some good rules like Eldar got. Right now they're more of a horde than Orks.
>>96506594>issues Production costs probably increased by 5 cents and they could no longer maintain their profit margins :(
>>96506581Its a good time to switch to the AK paste it come in a big tub and in whatever colour you'd need including a white one that's great for painting over top
>>96506554I dunno ask /lit/
Data slate when? I have a tournament at the end of the month and I want to have time to change my list.
>>96506619DE should be hordier than eldar are - they have clones and don't give a fuck - but the current level of hordiness is too far
>>96506543What is this about MK7 marines?
>>96506594oh for fuck sake, wished i knew that beforehand. all of those shops use the citadel rack and its still listed on it, im guessing it hasnt been updated since. >>96506639is there an alternative to that particular textured paint? i think the colour equivalent for it is mechanicus standard grey so if i can just find a textured paint thats the same im happy to give it a try
>>96506676AK asphalt would be close
>>96506619I like this model a lot but it feels too... safe? It doesn't look nowhere near as edgy as I'd expect from Dark Eldar. Would definitely work with regular Eldar though oddly enough
>>96506619this is literally just shadowheart from BG3not that thats a bad thing tho
>>96506695if you were expecting ultra grim gore and rape, i dont think thats happening. GW is moving away from that for more mass market appeal. i'd expect the new DE aesthetic is gonna be closer to corsairs than old dark eldar
>>96506704What old Dark Eldar models featured 'ultra grim gore and rape'
>>96506669Yeah, but right now their hordiness is out of control. Kabalites 10ppm, Wyches 8ppm. Also because this is a hobby that takes place in the real world and requires you to move real miniatures and also paint them imo most armies should have some value, point dump models with good points to € ratio so you can fill it out. Even two Talos are like 160 pts.
I havent painted miniatures in a good whileAre there ANY decent/good airbrushes nowadays that DONT require you to install a whole goddamn installation aka some cordless kind of airbrush
>>96506697Correct and that's a great thing. I'm sure some people will paint this one with white hair and it will probably look great as well.
I’m painting up the new deathwatch kit as Minotaurs because deathwatch as a faction is mad gay. Minotaurs are based.
>>96506619i honestly believe the old schizo rumours that Yvraine started out as a Malys sculpt. That Visarch started out as a Corsair character, and that Ynncarne was an Avatar of Cegorach
>>96506736i dont really like the hardcore dark eldar stuff like homonculous covens, and i dont really like the power rangers aspect warriors and guardians, but there is a certain streak of post 7e eldar models between the newer farseer sculpts, corsairs, yvraine and the visarch, and now this lady, that really makes me want to put together a pirate space elf army
>>96506733You can get handheld airbrush pumps that are designed for makeup artists to use.I have one and it's great for priming or getting some base colours on but I wouldn't use it for any detailFor some reason mine specified it was safe to put milk through it but I will not be doing that
>>96506747Amazon or a specific site?>wouldnt use it for detailsThats not too bad, I intend to mostly use it in combination with enamel washes, inks, etc
>>96506769To be honest if you are good with an airbrush you could probably use it well, I personally am kind of retarded and have no idea what I'm doing.I got mine from amazon for £25 and it came with a shitty no-name single action airbrush that works well enough for me to get colours on
>>96506520>Are you considering starting dark eldar with the reveals?No, I already have dark eldarI might grab the archon kit sometime to make another dracon though
>>96506619>Is this the first cute elf GW has ever done?they've had cute elf sculpts for a while but the official paint jobs havent helped
Huh, figures that GW would drop all the new Dark Eldar stuff on a random Monday when I'm insanely busy.The two new kits are both pretty. Darn cool. I really like the options and the fact that the archon is kit bashable with the last 15 years of infantry model. Malys's face is weirdly soft for a DE but other than that I kind of like the model. Feels like she's missing more flowing skirts or cloth of some kind though.Codex cover art looks cool but I am not happy that 28 of my models are going to Legends soon alongside my Tantalus.New pain token system sounds cool and I'm really interested to see how that plays out.
>>96506834>caring about the rules when the codex is going to last half a year
>>96506741>because deathwatch as a faction is mad gay. Minotaurs are based.You wouldn't recognise homosexuality if your face was covered in cocks
>>96506581>>96506594>>96506594It’s because the texture is actually little bits of plastic and they’re moving away from that.
>>96506838Look, some of us already have fully painted armies and actually play the game more often than once a year.Besides, codexes are going to carry over into 11th until they get new ones anyway. And it's unlikely Legends units come back even if they do get another codex.
>>96506870>Besides, codexes are going to carry over into 11th until they get new ones anyway.With how pitiful 10th has been we can only hope that is not the case, for once.
>>96506834>Malys's face is weirdly soft for a DEJust be happy.
>>96506849I highly doubt that.They do plastic injection moulding and sell plastic paint in plastic tubs.A tiny bit more plastic is not going to be any kind of issue to them.
>>96506704In Mike Brooks' Lelith novel, Dark Eldar are misunderstood punk rockers accepting of everyone with a highly respected transgender community stretching to Craftworlders and their Paths and only Vect and Rakarth are evil.
>>96506908this is why I hate mike brooks
>>96506676They still sell Astrogranite just not the super chunky version.
>>96506908Rakarth and Vect are two of the most evil bastards in the Galaxy that hardly proves them anything less evil.
>>96506915that's cool but that isn't what he wants
>>96506881
>reading caiphas cain>the regiment only has 2000 troops in it>including their POGswere all regiments this small?a WW2 soviet regiment had 3000 men in it and that was considered small
>>96506942Don't think about 40k numbers too hard.It keeps happening that battles across entire sectors have less causalities than ww1
normal repulsor or executioner? black templars so I think I can get a multi-melta on the latter?
>>96506949predator or land raider like a real man
>>96506942In 40k books numbers are nothing but placeholders for "lots" or "few" depending on context.
>>96506885Well that’s because you’re dumb.
>>96506953I have an old predator already. The hover tank stuff has grown on me.
>>96506949Land Raider Crusader like the other anon saidI have to get my one back out and spruce it up actually
>>96506942A "regiment", as in a particular regiment like "237th Cadian" is normally around a thousand men. A "regiment", as in the entirety of Cadians or the entirety of Catachans is obviously much larger.Regiments also have different specializations that influence their number. An infantry regiment would have far more bodies in it than an artillery regiment.Also, real world considerations like attrition and replenishment apply, so the headcount varies across time as well.
>>96506949I think you can get a multi melts on everything as BT
>gladiator tank has 7 fucking guns for some reason>and thats even with bunching all the rocket pods etc into a "defensive array" ir whatever its calledbut why?
Using all my luck for the year to get them buffs
>>96506994Used to be options that cost extra. Now they're all free so you always take them.
>>96506994>main gun>left sponson gun>right sponson gun>pintle mounted gun>missiles
>>96507001that would only be the pintle mount, the rest is just on the kit that you cant optionally take
>>96506695>>96506704To me, she looks like just the standard kabalite, with a crazy hairdo, and unique weapons. I didn't expect rape and gore, heck, not even a cleavage, but I did expect some luxury and ostentatiousness from THE Lady Malais. Ancient and prestigious leader among a race of decadent sadists.Like this >>96506742 look at that headdress! And the fashion dress! I expected something that doesn't fall behind Yvraine in crazy fashion.
>>96507010>main gunstock>sponsonsoptional upgrade>pintleoptional upgrade>missileoptional upgradegladiator>main gun>co-ax>rear twin heavy stubber>defensive array>hull mounted twin heavy bolterthen the optionals of>missile>pintle
>>96506942A regiment is as big or small as it needs to be for the story. In some gaunt ghosts books they are down to a couple hundred, and then they are back to thousands.. other regiments are 10s of thousands.
>sent a couple images to WD on a whim>actually get a reply they'd like to feature themuhh what do I do, I've posted them here before
>>96507028post em anon
>>96507028Tell them you would like some money or some online shop vouchers if they print them. Problem solved.
>>96507022You're mistaking the gladiator for some other tank then
>>96507028They're gonna show your full fucking name anon, don't do it. I'm serious, they doxxed the huge admech walker conversion anon.
How did the Tau get a reputation as being cowardly? That one I never understood.
>>96507048what happened to admech anon, was the schizo finally able to track him down and kill him due to the dox?
>>96507057He has gone into hiding. Wise choice if you ask me.
>>96507053Long ranged troops, little to no melee troops, classic flanderisation.
>>96507040maybe it was the repulsor then?
>>96506520>GammonZilla edition
>>96507048couldn't he just ask them to not print his name or something
>>96507028nobody cares, get your minis on the magazine, if you're really scared about your name, give them a pseudonym or something, they won't give a shit.
>>96507028You are not the first person to post here that has been featured in WD, i can promise you that.The guy that made this posted his build progress hereLouise Sugden posted here as savage ork guy and she worked for GW for years, even becoming the face of the painting show they did.
>>96507067yep, but that's a land raider equivalent, and has half its transport capacity in this configuration
>>96507074the one with the same transport capacity doesn't actually have that much, despite looking messy
>>96507028shouldn't have said anything, nobody would have remembered (unless you are frequentely posting them) but now some schizoid freak is going to comb through the archives to look for your models every month and when he does the gloves are off
>>96507082still has 5 guns stock compared to the land raiders 3
>>96507088it depends exclusively on how you count the gunsthe land raider has 6 heavy weapons, and one storm bolterthe repulsive has 4 heavy weapons, and one stubber
>>96506908Mike Brooks is a hack and a shitty writer.
>>96507126Add him to the pile
>>96506908I dont believe you.
>>96507028Use pseudonym if you are scared>>96507084this, you shouldn't have said anything hereUnless you are a recognizable avatarfag like decalmutant, lamenttranny or someone like this, then it wouldn't matter.
I own DG, Emp Children and Nids(who I have never played)Whats the better Melee marine army? Templars or Space Wolves?
>>96506908WeirdHe potrayed them as petty ass evil elves in his enjoyable Ork novel
>>96507152A *third* marine army, anon? Really?
>primaris shotgun
>>96506908>mike brooksMay Allah burn him and his family alive. In total war thrones of britannia
>>96507158Heres the twistI will replace all their heads with my tons of spare Emp Children headsThey will actually just be larping emp kids
>>96507159Space wolves scout. It's more Primaris shit
>>96507159That's no shotgun, that's some gay energy weapon.
>>96506536Games Workshop is a textbook example of retarded business practices, so they probably have entire army refreshes ready to go. Especially in this age of CAD designed miniature models. Think about it, these tards have a full time team or budget to churn out miniatures, compare that against the output of content creators behind paywalls and that should give you an idea on how they could refresh an entire army rather fast.
>>96507170A plasma shotgun?
>>96507173>Games Workshop is a textbook example of retarded business practiceslol their accounts beg to differ
>>96507173the limit factor isn't how much they can sculpt in any given timeframe, but how many moulds they can commission without angering the stakeholders, and how much they can release at once before they saturate their consumers.The releases are spaced out because their average customer only spends a given amount per month, and it wouldn't spend more if gw released more
gotta love LGS's where>if theres no game booking system for game night (i.e just show up and find an opponent) then the players will form a clique and book with an opponent cor the next evening and not tell anyone as they don't need to and take all the tablespace every week>if there is a game booking system, the players will just continually book games with the clique and take all the tablespace every week
>>96507173>Games Workshop is a textbook example of retarded business practicesWhere's your multibillion business if you're so smart anon
>>96507188>the kliqtime to join it
>>96507173They could make more money if they went out of house for production but they don't want to.They manufacture in their factory in Nottingham and they don't want to compromise on that which is incredibly based.Yeah their profit margins are not as high as they could be if they moved all the injection moulding to china but they wont
>>96506554All three of the Mike brooks Ork books are from Ork POVs.There are chapters from other faction's POV, as a great part of Orks is others' reactions to Ork shenanigans, but you'll want to read brutal kunnin, warboss, and da big dakka. All great books of Orky tomfoolery.
>>96507188Both situations are solved by talking with the people there.Have you tried talking with the people there?
>>96507156>in his enjoyable Ork novel>enjoyable
>>96507204I have, why do you think it got changed to a booking system?the only solution is to break up the clique but the LGS is limpwristed and wont do that
Kroot GF who thinks backrubs are literally sex
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96507213>the only solution is to break up the cliqueor talk with them
>>96507074Jesus Christ it looks so bad>add bolters>and minigun (I know it's supposed to be thunderfire canon)>and 3 different missiles pods>and stabber on top>and two more stabbers on the back>and finally, we need to squish this sculpt into our standart game table and L-shaped terrain
>>96507224Not seen her stuff in a while, though i assume she left twitter
>>96507159Votrans gun, obviously.
>>96507226tried that too but in regards to "hey i'm not having fun with 10th, can we play something else?" (the answer was no)
>>96507201If they lost their edge in quality I'd lose my reason to buy their boxes instead of 3D printing, so that makes some sense to me.
>>96507237>tried that too but in regards to something elsehave you tried doing that in regards to the thing you were talking about 5 seconds ago?
>>96507210I liked itI read it before playing Rogue Trader so my Commoragh looked way way way different to the Comorragh in the game
>>96507159Looks more like votann desu.
>>96507074I like those ammo cases on the sideIt seems like a design flaw and a dangerous weak spot but I like the boxes
>>96507203Thanks for the recommend anon, much appreciated
>>96507074Now it's just another marine tank.
>>96507233trying too hard
I think I should judge a factions coolness by their vehicles before their battle line unit, since vehicles seem to be mandatory.
>>96507257trimmed repulsor too
>>96507241not yet, but it'd be a waste of time>hey people who I know are stubborn and wont change even if the store had to change because of you, and wont change about anything else because you're 40k paypigs who won't play a single other game but it's latest edition, stop doing that thing please
>>96507264Tyranids confirmed for lamest faction
>>96507224Is she happy from Malys model?
>>96507270>not yet, but it'd be a waste of timeAs opposed to talking about it on /40kg/, right? cuck.
>>96507271*besttheir (living) tanks are the coolest shit around
>>9650727540 kilograms allows me to vent
>>96507270>Hey group of people having fun and enjoying themselves together, all of you need to change to suit MY needs and tastes
>>96507286Maybe you should get some friends instead.
>>96507287>dude just conform to how WE play the game despite how unfun it may be for you, otherwise you dont play at all because WE refuse to diversify our tastes, even if its just giving something a go once>oh and you cant bring a friend down to play what you want either, because WE booked all the tables
>>96507272Calling Malys "fat now" and looking for "Malys fail compilations" would imply not.
https://x.com/doiStudio/status/1964923158366220340Bruh
>>96507215>Literally cannot stop farting.
I primed some minis via Vallejo Black Primer but after a day the paint can get scratched off the surface too easily, I don't know if I put in too much thinner so the grip of the primer is weak. I'm painting the mini but need to repaint scratched surfaces a lot.
>>96507328Stop scratching them then, silly.
>>96507317I prefer Rem but she also cool
>>96507188You're that guy from last week who complained about sitting on the table then asking people to hurry up their game so they can play with you right?
>>96507336Rem appears to be on the opposite side
>>96507107>depends on how you countHow the fuck do you arrive at "4 HW + 1 stubber"
>>96507341The goon titan
>>96507341I believe this is referred to as "awful taste but great execution".
May wards mom is big gay
>>96507337I was waiting for a game for a good 4 and a half hours at that point and yeswrong thing to do? maybe, nit there was no other way to possibly get a game that eveningbut everyone booked in advance and didnt tell anyone, including the store, which is inconsiderateI arrive early to get a table and have to give all the tables up because they arrive in pairs as they organized an opponent already and, once again, the LGS is too limpwristed to do anything
>>96507351who
>>96507267I genuinely want to try something like this, but going further:If you swap parts between the two variants you can remove the missile pods over the side doors.Thiking of replacing the front guns with twin assault cannons like picrel
>47 collage submissions last monthDo you think we'll get more or fewer people this month? Are there any newfrens who don't know about it? Maybe 40kg is around 50 anons? It's hard to tell.
>>96507159As much as I'd love to say votann, it's definitely more of an imperium gun. The only thing going for votann is the leather strap with bullet like on the yeagirs shotguns, but votann guns don't have the armored parts towards the front, and their shotguns are revolving. No bottom ammo magazine, clip, whatever it's called in this case.My guess is guard.
>>96507362A grav raider… neat
>>96507377I'll be missing this months collage again. Not kitbashing any characters anytime soon. Maybe next month.I do love seeing them though.
>>96507381The theme this month was changed to "any kitbash" to not be too similar to the last one.
Another day, another player down form the crusade. Can’t really blame them desu but it sucks triying to find someone to sub in. I wouldn’t want to drive 45 minutes to catch a game either.>>96507353Why didn’t you book a game ahead of time? It’s a very rare LGS that does random assignment anymore. It’s not like the old days where you couldn’t contact people ahead of time. Theres usually plenty of looking for game threads.
>>96507385Ah, I see. Unfortunately I'll still be absent. Unless I hard shift to Orks within the month (it's possible) I'll be working on my votann for the time being as well as my chorfs. Just ordered that starter box.
>>96507377I think less people just because kitbashing isnt something everyone is into.I ordered a kill team to mess around with but I didnt realise it's on pre-order
>>96507380I think it looks neat.I'm not opposed to the "turreted land raider" that is the repulsor. I think it's a fun idea to trade some transport capacity for firepower, that was kinda the point of the crusader on the other side of the spectrum.What I don't like about the repulsor, like most people who take issue with it, is how many guns it has sticking out.It can be salvaged. The impulsor/gladiator I think there's a whole lot more work needed.
>>96507404Agreed, can’t fucking stand the repulsor and executioner
>>96507159What if horus heresy?
>>96507390my work gives me very short notice if I can take the day off (i.e the day before) and because I work lates, the LGS would be closed before I can tell themand as previously said, the players dont post onna groupchat about looking for games, they'll find an opponent (usually in person/the game night in the previous week) and book it via word of mouth and not tell anyone else
>>96507377I think I'm gonna be skipping this month, I'm not really big on kitbashing unless we count a simple head and arm swap as such
>>96507317>no white stockingsfail
>>96507404My biggest gripe with the repulsor stems from a bigger problem with 40k as a whole, which is the range 1000" instant-death gun. Every game I've played against it has been an extremely unfun game of keep-away with it since my armies have nothing that can even come close to the ranged firepower it can put out so in forced to try and melee it or simply ignore a single model that can wipe entire units in a single turn.
>>96507414and contrary to some of my earlier posts, i've spoken to the LGS about introducing a booking system so it's clear who has booked and for when so everyone knows, but that will create the problem of "the same players will take up the space every week as they get the game night off work already"
>>96507424I mean, that's a kitbash by definition...
>>96507431Oh. Well maybe I'll try to whip up something then
>>96507427The 2 attacks on a 3+ laser destroyer?
Has the Tau Navy literally ever won a battle?
>>96507429i've also said in the groupchat that can people start doing that, so i'll wait til thursday to see if they actually will (they wont, theres nothing currently and the players are lazy as fuck)
>>96507414>>96507429>>96507467Why are you replying to yourself
>Drukhari getting pain tokens redesigned into maneuver tokens like AeldariIs this... Is this the fewer rerolls we were promised? Will there actually be a codex with FEWER rerolls than the index at last?
>>96507377For what it's worth, I'm already done with my submission.
>>96507377I got a bit overwhelmed by it (im the dude trying to kitbash a big mek on warbike). Most likely ill bail on the shokk attack gun and make it less complicated
>>96507460Coupled with the 40 attacks from its other guns, it always wiped out whatever it looked at. Sometimes multiple targets.
>>96507494From my reading they're being reworked into a token pool that you use to activate extra unit abilities
This seems like a pretty damn good value box, doesn't it? I have the following Drukhari stuff:Assembled1 combat patrol (archon, 10x kabs, 5xincubi, 1xraider, 1xravager)To assemble8 Wyches1 Raider1 Talos This seems like a great expansion to that, right? How much do these usually cost?
>>96507427Insane worldview bearer alert: I think the game doesn't work well without the "either shoot the nearest enemy unit or take a test".But most people don't want an army game, they want a hero game.No troops, only elites. They don't get why troops exist or how to use them.I'm not saying you should be forced to take chaff in your army, I'm saying going full elite should be a gambit/gamble.
>>96507377Damn, some really nice stuff here. For some reason I was under the impression we'd be lower level on average.
>>96507505I thought this was a combat patrol at first im ngl.
>>96507501And yet the meta choice is the cheaper Gladiator Lancer with the same beefy laser (with bonuses to hit and wound) and fewer extras.
>>96507506As someone who absolutely loves running green tide, I agree. I think there's not nearly enough battleline units in most games.
>>96507473adding extra stuff I think was relevant to post
>>96507498You coul make the warbike a helicopter and have the shokk attack gun be the rotorblades of it
I got a really cool piece of foam from an air conditioner I bought that looks like a big boxy industrial structure. Specifically a water treatment facility.How can I cover the foam with a surface ready for painting? Do I just prime it and apply some type of concrete texture paint? Then I can 3D print or hand make some greebles like water drainage, doors and vents and stick it where it makes sense.For the top I want to fill it with epoxy resign mixed with green dye to make it looks like gross polluted water.>>96507509We have some truly good painters. They seem to be somewhat mentally stable and not unhinged as well, but maybe they just don't attach their worst shitposts to their art.
>>96507496Show us anon
>>96507528pva glue to seal it, spray primer could just melt it
>>96507530It's a Legion of The Damned marine. I've already posted it a couple of times so don't want to spam (>>96504967).

>>96507527I've got a few spare assault on black reach deffkoptas, theres probably a way isn't could do it

>>96507528>For the top I want to fill it with epoxy resign mixed with green dye to make it looks like gross polluted water.Gross polluted water would be absolutely impossible to see through, while if you make it gross polluted water that's arbitrarily transparent enough it won't read like a scaled down massive body of water. The good use of that empty space together with clear resin is to put some eye catching thing in there, like an archeotech reactor (where you can play with neon lights too) and/or some monster being kept in suspended animation in the liquid for study.Otherwise I'd just tell you to flip the box over, no real need for a sci fi water plan to have an open roof, a closed roof adds playable ground for flying troops, and you can convey the purpose of the facility with various simpler tubes or portholes or signs.if you

>>96507501I have no clue how you deal with actually good guns like DDA if the Repex is too much for you
>>96507575I could do it*
>>96507509if you compare what's on the collage to the torrent of slop that gets posted to faction specific subreddits the average painter here is significantly above the average redditor
>>96507601agreed, and I'm one of them.
>>96507201producing locally is fine and all but it's not production process that drive GW prices. considering they are making money simply by running stores, no sales required, is proof enough that they don't need their plastic to be worth it's weight in silver
>>96507597I guess I wasn't clarifying well enough. My problem isn't that I can't deal with it, my problem is that it's not fun to deal with. I think anything that encourages staying all the way back in your territory while being able to deal extreme amounts of damage isn't fun to play against. It's not engaging.Out of curiosity, what would you classify as a good gun though?
>>96507179They have a captive audience of uncritical whales, they can afford to be retarded
>>96507601Still, golden demon winning stuff doesn't get posted here because people don't want to get doxxed by a bunch of schizos or even associate themselves with this place. Its pretty sad
>>96507188Lmao it's you again. Assuming you haven't already established yourself as thatguy at your lgs, next time you want a game you need to hop on the discord and politely ask for a game before you waste your evening again haranguing people
>>96507188I would play with you anon : )
>>96507188You are just gonna have to make friends or something there otherwise you'll never get a game in.
>>96507213If my lgs took measures to keep me from playing with my friends because some random autist was too lazy and entitled to book games for himself I'd be furious.
>>96507377since I only play orks and kitbashing a vehicle for them is brain dead easy I thought why not make it more interesting and create a proper painboy ? the syringe makes me mad tho
>>96507615there are some legitimately incredible painters on /tg/, they just rarely if ever post their stuff in this threadfor example check out the treasure island bust that was finished yesterday in /wip/

>>96507188This is extremely solvable.>Hey guys, if I've got a day free would anyone want a game next week?Once you know what days you have free you can then message people saying yes to see if they're also free. If not, shoot for next week. You're trying to change an entire group's system to meet your needs, you oaf. Try levelling with them instead.

>>96507612If a repex can stand all the way back and wipe your army you guys aren't playing with enough terrain
>>96507348It's a commission paint job, so someone spent an ungodly amount of money for that, and the artist just did exactly as instructed (I bet the commissioner provided all the artwork references), so it's really just a matter of awful taste and a shitton of money.
>>96507377>3 weeks worth of business trips in August kept me from finishing my Skorpekh Lord for the collageI need to think of something to kitbash

>>96507328Paint on Primer seems easier to come off in general, Pro-Acryl’s paint on primer comes off at the point the paint handle attached to the base.

>>96506926>>96506881Why the fuck do they always paint those deep man lines around the mouth like that? Can they not dunk everything in tub of wash?

>>96507674everyone always says "you shouldnt force players to play something they dont like"I agree, you shouldnt make people conform to what you want.but why is it okay for them to expect me to conform to what they want? genuine question i'd like to hear an answer for
>>96507828They don't *want* anything for you. They don't think about you at all. You can't just impose yourself on people who are minding their own business.
>>96507828Nta but I've lurking on that conversation and I'd be you I'd not bother discussing it here.You have attracted the worst kind of people to share a problem with: people who don't know the situation and think they know a solution to it.While I could play devil's advocate and say "you didn't give all the information" it doesn't matter, nobody can give all the information anyway and it wouldn't solve the issue.A lot of the people replying to you think they got it figured out and that's the end of it for them."Just talk".You know it's not a real solution, I'd be you I'd stop wasting my time trying to argue with people who are now more concerned about defending their shitty solution than understanding where you're coming from and why their "solution" doesn't work.To answer your original question regarding that closed group of people, I'd say either only organize games really in advance on the few times you know you'll get the day off (hopefully there is some in the year for you). Or make/find your own place to play the hobby.Now I will brace myself for the incoming fire.

They can be replaced separately but if it's a cheap airbrush you might as well replace the entire assembly.
I was given a gift of War Dogs as a gift from a family member for losing a lot lbs. The problem is, I have never painted knights before, and I am at a complete loss of how to do the basing on them. Any reccomendations on cool bases for larger things like that? Please don't ask how much weight I lost, it's embarassing.

>>96507932I like to use rocks on my bases. Like, actual rocks. You can gather them yourself outside but be sure to wash them because you don't want to muck up your brushes if you paint over them (which I recommend doing). If you think you'll need a bunch of rocks of similar size, which you probably would for knights, you can order boxes of them from Amazon or eBay.>Please don't ask how much weight I lost, it's embarassing.Don't be embarrassed, anon. It's weight you *lost* that makes it a victory.

>>96506908>>96506918>>96507126>>96507134>>96507162>>96507909That book is about a toxic and abusive romance between Lelith and her childhood friend.She proves to Vect and the rest of the Dark City that she is strong enough to reveal her weakness (her love) to the world. She proves that Vect is too weak to open himself to others and love and beloved. She is isn't afraid to be vulnerable and that's the essence of true strength. She is genuinely strong and the Dark City worship her for it.
>>96507962They're built and ready for paint I'm just in a csm mood right now. I'll get to them eventually.
>>96507969That sounds fucking stupid and I don't know how you managed to make me want to read 40k shit EVEN MORE.

>>96507969Trying to write a story about a Dark Eldar recognizing toxic relationships is like having an Ork protagonist who tries to overcome mob mentality and peer pressure.
>>96507996If I'm gonna read toxic lesbos I'll get the good stuff, and only fan fictions ever dare get to the good stuff
>>96507968Flavor wise? Orks or playing Ogryn spam IG. Gameplay wise? Your a faction of all elite 40mm models that have alot of wounds, but kinda slow and cumbersome, not that much shooting outside of a few specifc units. Surprisingly Dark Angels with 3 deathwing knights squads, Centurions and that Wrath of the Rock detachment to make your units tanky. You even can use Ravenwing command squads to be the hard hitting cav units. Your just running a bunch of meaty beast sticks up the table.
>>96508037> Ork protagonist who tries to overcome mob mentality and peer pressure.It exists. It's Grotsnik's novel.It's awesome.
Nid bros, is bonesword and lash whip the only viable loadout for a winged hive tyrant?

>>96508038Share, please

>>96508072I'm not in the state where I can blow all that money on a broken faction my friends wont enjoy and will probably end up being nerfed to oblivion. I'll just keep with my Dark Angels and Eldar for now. Maybe next edition it will be better.
>>96508074Horus murked him now
>>96507996Britcucks can't write yuri, not even toxic yuri. They can write lesbians, sure, but their minds are too full of allah and beans on toast and their hearts too barren to comprehend the sublime wonder of TRVE YVRI
>>96508057>>Everyone hates how they currently playThere was never a single moment in which people didn't hate how knights played.They were always either way too strong, way too boring, way too swingy, or any combination of these.The game without facings, without damage tables, and without more complex shooting or melee interactions, simply cannot make knights fun to play and play against.It's like expecting a game of 40k with only 10 separate infantry models to be as engaging as a game of kill team, it simply cannot be done, the rules are too simple.
>>96508082>>96508085Why is 40k just a polical stomping ground for people to preach their message about modern left vs right issues.
>>96508087Isn't Mike American though?

>>96508089Yea but big robots make the setting more fun and immersive so i'll allow it.
>>96508037>an Ork protagonist who tries to overcome mob mentality and peer pressure.I mean, that's basically Mozrog Skragbad. He just wanted to ride squig and hoont monstars, but because he was so good at it orks kept following him around and calling him "Boss" so now he's an unwilling, unhappy warboss.
>>96508095
>>96508102Then write more engaging rules specifically for such large units!
>>96508098He's a GW vassal and a leftist, he's spiritually a eurobritcuck regardless of where his heritage lies.
>>96507865>>96507875true, but then quite simply: how am I supposed to play anything at all?i've tried pitching other systems and games in the past and no one wants to play any of it, and it's not like I can just show up with say, necromunda and 2 gangs to force someone to playit is very much play 40k or dont play at all, or the 3rd option of "bring a friend in" but thats not always avaliable
>>96508089They were super fun back when the kit first came out and you could ally ONE into your army, the problem simply came when they made your entire army them. But there was a year or two where everyone had their own cool knight with their own heraldry they would ally into their imperial armies and it was pretty soulful, they weren't too broken, good enough to give some of the weaker armies a boost.

Yeah, you brought a squad of lascannon devs and a land raider. Oh, you tried shooting a big, but he lived because 6HP and you missed a shot? Too bad, they just killed all your anti-tank and now your remaining army LITERALLY can't hurt these things unless you get behind them, but they move twice as fast as you do! Good luck!

There are a total of 11 Imperial Knight/Chaos Knight players in my LGS. This edition they only want to play their Knights but never play each other and complain to the staff that people want to exclude them from games. Fuck Knights.
>>96508218>Knights were even worse when the game had those things THOUGHBEIT.because they were also ridiculously overpoweredone is an issue of interactability, the other is an issue of balance, the current system addresses neither, save perhaps the balance if we're lucky
>>96506619Doesn't look like a Dark Eldar model to me but a craft-worlder.
>>96508142That was not the authorial intent, but it is a funny reading of 40k. Especially now as they toe around the fact that the Emperor is literally, by definition, a little 'g' god and subvert some of the earlier HH stuff that was a little too 'these are just my religious beliefs actually' like the last church.

What army needs the least amount of models?
>>96508474Kniggets obviously
>>96508439One, the Tau are called collectivists, equalists, and unionists in the lore. Those are code words for communism. The Tau lore is based on Animal Farm and 1984, which are warnings against communism. Fascists were never about equality.The Imperium fits the modern definition of fascism. And Matt Ward called the Imperium Fascist.
>>96508474Knights and Custodes.
>>96508480>the modern definitionCope.
>>96508364Unfathomably based.
>>96508486Never heard of Umberto Eco
>>96508474Knights, Custodes. You can get oddly small Imperial Guard armies by going all in on tanks.
>>96508480>Fascists were never about equalityThe t'au have literal caste system you are born into.
>>96508485Interesting, Ive been thinking of starting Custodes because of how ez they are to paint.
>farsight enclavesI don't think i've seen a non-farsight enclaves tau army in at least a decade
>>96508495>Literally just dunk them in gold
>>96508492I don't care what wordgames commietroons play to justify their rape of the english language. Words have meanings.
>>96508494If you read Tau lore like the Fire Warrior novel, this aspect of Tau culture is addressed.It's said that all Castes are equal. The loweest Earth Caste dirt farmer is equal to the highest Ethereal in his ivory tower. In theory but in relity some are the first among equals.This fits communism 1 to 1.
>>96508500and they still look sexy but whats the news on better quality models for them?
>>96508480The Tau are, per the literal Doctrine of Fascism, fascists. The Imperium likewise is way too decentralized to be fascist.
>>96508496Every tau army I've seen has always been the whitebois. I miss when the yellow taus were the posterboys.

>>96508480Not him but Matt Ward is a retarded nigger. It's not really his fault really since the 'modern definition of fascism' is genuinely just 'thing I don't agree with' in common usage.

>>96508575nta but generally knight players don't like playing about other knight players, it's just a worse version of kill team / titanicus at that point.Part of the appeal of knights is being the army of super heavy units, but if everyone's super heavy, the balance breaks.Because they're FAT
>>96508511retards on this website try to le debate what fascism is so that literally nothing is fascist. Nazis werent fascist. Staling wasnt fascist. Mao wasnt fascist. America wasnt fascist. Nothing is REAL fascism.If you use fascism as like "mean authoritarian government with lots of anti intellectualism and racism" like 99% of English speakers including academics then yes the Imperium is fascist.
>>96508250>make a general all round list>still doesn't have enough anti vehicle in it to deal with knights spamI dont blame players for avoiding them desu, i bet the knights players would be against versing a heavily skewed anti vehicle list too
>>96508606>some people don't want stuff to be X>99% of people use X wrongYeah some people aren't honest and some people are wrong. So what? Your point?

>>96507751Is there a today's /tg/ Suggs equivalent?
>>96508566>Fascism requires centralizationLiterally all power derives from the God-Emperor
>>96508606Fascism is a centralized, totalitarian (not meaning police state, but rather that the state considers every aspect of life to fall under its purview), corporatist (meaning bringing the economy under the control of state-controlled guilds), imperialist (as in the state is actively seeking to expand its influence, does not have to involve military conquest) form of government. It is not inherently racist, or even culturally homogenous. But it does seem to make sure that every part of society acts according to the interests of the state. Everything within the state, Nothing outside the state, Nothing against the state. The Tau is the closest thing the setting has to fascism. The Imperium can’t be fascist because it doesn’t have anywhere near the level of centralization required to actually bring everything within the state.
>>96508650That’s more of a theocratic feudalistic “divine right”. The Emperor isn’t actually calling most of the shots.
>>96508606I like the pathetic sniveling appeal to the authority of 'academics' you snuck in there. Fascism is a distinct political ideology with a set of stated principles practiced by mostly rational people from real historical parties who expressed those principles to constituencies in order to obtain power so we can actually use that as a litmus test. Or we can be mental toddlers and say anything authoritarian and violent is fascism.
>>96508663Its crazy getting older and realizing how stupid the general public is, it almost makes you sympathetic to the elites and how they treat them like cattle...almost...
REAL FASCISM HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED
>>96508671the 'elites' are stupid too

>>96508649I don't think there's anyone that paints in such a colorful, vibrant style right now. At least not in the warhammer generals or /wip/
>>96508630You are blaming the poison. If you lie to me or say something wrong, I still hold responsibility on believing you.Most people don't care for the truth, reality isn't something they want to understand.There always will be misinformation, even if everyone was the most honest we'd still get things wrong.There always were library, and most people didn't care for them.Now they have the libraries on their own person every singly moment of their life. And they still don't care a yota about the library.Information, to most people, is a question of: "does it serve me?"
>>96508678Yea to a degree but they seem to follow the Tau's mindset of the greater good to the extreme.
>>96508618its language. if 99% use the word that way thats what the word means and if you use archaic century old definitions you are just an isolated schizo retard who is ostracized from society and also most likely autistic
>>96508541I'm reading it as they can still shoot, but the observer units don't get their own bonus, for whatever reason. You'd figure since it's their information, they should still be able to benefit from it (if not more than the other standard troops they're forwarding it to). Probably nothing more than GW emphasizing that it's a team activity or something.

>>96508762>society is insane if language evolvesBuddy... fag does not mean a bundle of sticks. It means homosexual. Like my homie Abbadon the Despoiler or any other chaos character.
>>96508744Tbf Mussolini did congratulate Stalin on successfully subverting the gayass bolshevik movement into a form of “Red Fascism”, and in most ways modern China would meet the textbook definition of a fascist state too.I don’t know if I’d say a communist state can exist at the same time as a fascist state, but I would certainly say that communist states either inevitably collapse or become fascist.
>>96508778Matt Ward doesn’t get to decide what fascism is. If he says the Imperium is fascist, but then the Imperium is described as not being fascist, then he is just wrong.
>>96508730where?
>>96508773Disgust from the disgusting, how quaint
The T'au Empire is ruled by Elemental Councils filled with members of the five castes, each chosen based on merit. The Councils also contain delegates from the T'au allied races, called Kindred souls, who represent the interests of their species and advise the T'au.How is that fascist?

>>96509007No. He left the company, but GW still contracts him to write lore for them, either for studio projects or for their video games (Darktide+Vermintide)
>>96509004>modern definitionNot everything you dislike is fascism.
>>96508480>One, the Tau are called collectivists, equalists, and unionists in the lore. Those are code words for communism. The Tau lore is based on Animal Farm and 1984, which are warnings against communism.You do know that in Animal Farm there was no equality, right? That the Pigs had build a hierarchical dictatorship and "equality" was just an empty promise? Have you heard "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"?Animal Farm was not a warning about "quality bad". It was literally the opposite.

>>96509025How do you dispute the fact that Ethereals are willing to die for the cause alongside their fellow caste and even non-T'au comrades.Phil Kelly even described the Ethereals as being akin to the Emperor in their devotion to their race's future.
>>96509026double oath is very much the reason people take roboute, you might be thinking of double command points, they changed it so calgar's ability only works if he is warlordwhich sort of sucks because space marines are currently balanced like we can use more strategems than anyone else
>>96509004>more accurateI'm not so sure about that but you can try linking a reddit post again, that would convince me.

How do imperial force shields hold up against necron weapons?
>>96509133>spreading ideology through warfare is a core fascism tenantPer the Doctrine of Fascism, a fascist state does NOT have to declare war to expand its territory, power, or influence.

>>96509170cool story Holden
>>96509162But per fascism you can also expand through diplomacy like the Tau do. It’s the principle of the growth and expansion of power and influence itself that is fascistic, not the idea that you need to actually take land. One could perhaps argue that the Imperium was in some ways fascist during the Emperor’s reign, but now? No.
BEHOLD: FASCISM
Why are we talking as if fascism means anything other than government but evil to most people including the redditors that induced this shitflinging
>>96509170I read blood meridan recently, it was pretty good.
>>96509203>“Once he got money, Cormac bought all his books in hardback if possible, and for the last 40 years of his life he read almost no fiction at all.” >Why? The answer stems from McCarthy’s deeply disparaging view of modern society, which he considered lost, divorced from nature, history and tradition and heading toward social collapse and apocalypse. “Cormac considered contemporary fiction a waste of time,” said Dennis, “because contemporary writers no longer have a legitimate culture to feed their souls.”I wonder how much Corncob would dislike a typical BL book lol
>>96509198Because we have a schizo who unfortunately plagues these threads 24/7 and has got a political brainworm amongst other cerebral molds.
>>96509186I argue the Imperium is only ceasing in its expansion due to lack of means. When Germany was on the back foot towards the end of WWII it was still fascist.I’m not arguing fascism can’t be spread through diplomacy but often times its through war. I don’t know enough about T’au to say for sure if they’re fascist but they seem some flavor of authoritarian regime other than fascist.

>>96509240500? Thats it? Who the fuck uses this then? Do they buy two or somethin?
>>96509084Any good resources for learning to use inks? I know very little about oils and even less about inks.
>>96509227He'd probably never touch them especially with how divorced they are from the culture that produced 40k in the first place
>>96509233The Imperium isn’t fascist because it isn’t centralized enough to be fascist. The core, most important aspect of fascism is that everything is within the state, nothing is outside of it or against it. Meanwhile the Imperium has an independent ecclesiarchy that does its own thing, a feudal system of planetary governors that do their own thing, an independent system of warrior monk space marine chapters that do their own thing, the Custodes that do their own thing, the Inquisition that does their own thing, etc. The Imperium has only the barest weakest perception of even being a singular empire. Nowhere near the level of control that the Tau Empire has over their empire.
>>96509281That doesn't matter because the imperium is a bad place to live and Fascism just means evil government in modern culture
>>96509203Its my favorite book of all time. It really got me to appreciate American west media when I otherwise didn’t really care for it. McCarthy was a gem.

>>96509364>academic definition lmao fuck off with your linguistic prescriptivism
>>96509281They do all serve the emperor even if he’s effectively absent, though I see your point. There is dilution of ideals and infighting though whether thats a result of overexpansion or what you mentioned, or both, who knows. What would you classify the Imperium as? For my own curiosity.
>>96509093to be fair dark eldar are comically underpriced right now because they have no idea what to do with their rules. let's hope they get elite'd up
I think Eldar are cool
>>96509376>What would you classify the Imperium as?A parasite that sucks out the resources and people of a planet through the tithe for the wars it wages
>>96509345He failed miserablely, he created a galactic wide faith that exists outside of his empire.Anyway what's your solution? Let the Abrahamic religions spread. Worshipers of the God that ordered every man, woman, infant and elder in Canan to be massacred, so the Hebrews could inherit the blood stain ruins. Spread until those worshipers were numerous enough to birth a fifth chaos god in the image of their god?
>>96509395looks like infinity art
>>96509376A theocratic confederacy.
>>96509364The Imperium doesn’t fit the fascist definition of fascism though, who gives a fuck what “academics” think
>>96509376>What would you classify the Imperium as? For my own curiosity.Nta, but Imperium is just feudalistic with all the planets being vassal states for Terra.Like the whole tithe thing, ie. taxes, is the same as what small fiefdoms did by paying their taxes to the king. However in 40k that tax can be anything from actual raw materials like ore, manufactured goods like ammunition and weapons to even just basic manpower in form of guard regiments.
>>96509399Lhykhis art is kinda hard to come by
>>96509397Tone down the antisemitism, pal.
>>96509376Feudalism, simple as. There’s theocratic elements in there too, but at the end of the day what’s keeping the whole thing together is oaths, relationship, and contracts between dynasties, individuals and organizations.
fascism != authoritarianismthe Imperium is an authoritarian apparatus, and some parts of it may be fascist, but as a whole the Imperium does not care *how* a planet is governed so long as it pays the Tithe and follows a small amount of basic rules (i.e. rules from the Ecclesiarch and the Mechanicus on worship)the Imperium is meant to resemble a slightly harsher version of The Holy Roman Empire, because we are just playing Warhammer Fantasy in space
>>96509364The issue is that you are an obstinate autistic retard arguing that the Imperium is fascist because it fits the modern definition of fascism, and their issue is they're autistic fascists arguing the imperium isn't fascist by the core principles of fascism.
>>96509395Lhykis would be cooler if she had bigger breasts.

>>96509422>the Imperium is meant to resemble a slightly harsher version of The Holy Roman EmpireThe model was probably Dune but with more wars against aliens, but same difference since Dune is just space feudalism too.

>>96509422>the Imperium is an authoritarian apparatusEven that is limited and honestly Imperium's "authoritarianism" is essentially the same type of shit what you see in modern day Russia.The goverment regularly fucks with the population and practises goverment overreach in an attempt to control everything.While at the same time the actual citizens just continue to do whatever the fuck they want because the villages they live in are either so fucking remote that the goverment has probably half forgotten them or if they haven't been forgotten the goverment just doesn't give a shit about some dipshit farmer village in the middle of nowhere.
>>96509438Kind of depends. They're a multiphase damage army. They have big damage unreliable shooting with low volume and big ap reliable melee but on extremely fragile units. So you end up needing multiple activations to remove anything significant and have to stage carefully to not get annihilated while trying to get the drop. They feel incredible powerful and oppressive when played well but there's significant counterplay to them they have to work hard to mitigate
>>96509428True
>>96509454for the Imperium to be fascist, they would have to aggressively push one government on to every world they conquer or control. There is a faction in 40k that does fit that bill, but it's not the Imperium
>>96509466Bigger.
>>96509444It isn't really speaking as somebody who has been around for two digits worth of years.
>>96509454Yes they are since Fascism only occurs during the Capitalism phase
>>96509467If you don't pay the tithe, the Imperium will change your government.
>>96509471Im in pretty deep already
>>96509479pay your space taxes then
>>96509479So will every nation to ever exist. Take whatever country you don't think is fascist and imagine if a group of people tried to stop paying taxes.
>>96509467...but fascism is good and correct so the T'au are the good guys.
>>96509484You know I've never seen any of those "light simulating" paintjobs that have ever actually looked like light. They always look like somebody fucked up keeping their paint in the lines.
>>96509484You... You bought all that shit in a YEAR? Are you actually fucking retarded?
>>96509506A year and a half I said
>>96509440Malys has the bigger dick, but Lhykis has the heftier balls
Can I buy three or four of the Drukhari Covens combat patrol and make an army the same way as the last one? The Chronos can be built as a Talos right?
>>96509454They really are. The core elements of fascism are centralization, corporatism (essentially a sort of guild system designed to keep state control over both unions and business interests), imperialism, and totalitarianism (essentially stating that every aspect of life is in the state’s interest).The Imperium is imperialistic, of that there is no doubt. But corporatist? No, private interests within the Imperium are largely allowed to do whatever they want so long as they pay their tithes. Centralized? Not in the slightest. Totalitarian? The Imperium only cares about two things: do you worship the Emperor, and are you paying your tithes (and they allow a very wide degree of interpretations for what “worshipping the Emperor” entails). The Imperium has very little control over culture, media, politics, the economy, etc. Instead that all comes down to the whims of individual governors.
>>96509514yes chronos=talos box wise but i'd wait to see the points and rules because they could end up with shit like d6 movement (but you can use a pain point to move full 6 :^) ) and you'd likely still need multiple venoms/raiders
>>96509512but what about the yaw?
>>96509486>>96509491More than that. The Imperium retains the right to remove governments on a whim and enslave the whole population.
When is the actual Dark Eldar codex dropping?
>>96509458Oh fuck we talked about politics for too long and the Russian "experts" have chimed in.
>>96509551Based
>>96509505you ever looked at miniaturista's stuff?
>>96509563The flames themselves look good but the rest just looks like paint
>>96509551The Imperium harvests entire worlds of its resources and literally kills them.>After centuries of peace, Balor was changing. Its resources would be harvested to fuel mankind’s wars. Life would slip away from its seas. There was an imbalance to the Great Work when a living world died, Hiax thought. The requisite resources could be taken from a non-living planet, but taking them from somewhere like Balor was easier because it was easier for men to live there. Mankind would use it up, then move on. He imagined the population might, one day, find the Blood Crusade of less consequence than the damage inflicted by the Imperium. But such was the price of the Machine God’s demands.
>>96509553According to some fellows in the know about embargo dates the preorder is about two weeks away
>>96509570Unironically you might be autistic.
>>96509514That box is only 300 points. You could buy 4 of them and only play a 1000 point game

>>96509398Warhammer 40k isn’t the type of universe to have a solution.
In a way the Tau being fascist while the Imperium is ‘merely’ feudal goes to show how fascism isn’t some boogeyman that’s always the worst thing ever.
>>96509629>Tau>fascist The Tau Empire has more rights and freedoms than the Imperium. The 40K Ultimate Guide says that the Imperium has zero personal freedoms.
>>96509606How so? Wasn't thick city the old archetype with tons of Wracks and pain engines? Maybe the new codex will support that archetype again?
>>96509681Imagine the competitive scene. These are units that fail against equal points tyranids that serve the same roles. Except slower.
>>96509648Fascist =/= No freedom. You can be a fascist state and still allow your people freedoms so long as the state still retains the right to step in and make changes to culture and lifestyles to suit its own needs, which the Tau most certainly do. Practice your religion? Sure, but the Tau will make sure it’s a harmless sort that gets rid of the xenophobic elements, and it’ll gradually phase out over time. The right to life? Sure, in general, but exceptions will be made for psykers which pose a danger to the greater interests of the state. Economic freedom? To a degree, but under the watchful eye of the state, and when necessary they will conscript much labor when a large project is needed quickly (as was done for the Startide Nexus to prepare for the Nurgle chaos marine warehost).
>>96509648if your freedoms are granted by the state and not by your creator, you don't have personal freedom
>>96509718>hag tits
>>96509648...and? Spain in early 1940s had more freedom than Germany in the early 1940s? Was Spain not fascist because they were better than their neighbor?
>>96509696>people freedoms so long as the state still retains the right to step in and make changes to culture and lifestyles to suit its own needs, which the Tau most certainly doSo the same as the Imperium but minus the freedom? >>96509551
How do you run Dark Eldar nowadays?
>>96509696>when necessary they will conscript much labor when a large project is needed quickly (as was done for the Startide Nexus to prepare for the Nurgle chaos marine warehost).Interesting, got a source for that?
>anons slowly realizing that Tau are on the same path that Humanity already walked we have this same discussion every few months lol
>>96509506That's decal fag so yes
>>96509728Eldar are odd and alien creatures
>>96509765did this really need to be said?
>>96509728Lets see how your tits look after 2,000 years.
>>96509640I would frick the spider lady
>>96509772those tits come from women that have had children and their tits deflate in time, not quite super saggy grandma but have that flat curve to them that doesn't say "perky youth" because young ladies with tits like that are much smaller and hence, perky looking as a resultthey're hag tits, those women(woman?) has had children and deflated
>>96509728lol fucking /v/irgin
>>96509791both have a distinct appeal to different age groups I reckon
>>96509791Well the model looks a bit less saggy
>>96509800its a signature, like gray hairs in a mans mostly nongray head a womans concave tits are the sign of "I had kids, and I'm too old to have more" look
>>96509735The Imperium’s state apparatus, by and large, doesn’t actually control much of the Imperium’s territory. They control how much tithe they can take…but that’s about it. Religion is under the control of the Ecclesiarchy, which is a largely independent institution. Culture and economy falls under the purview of the planetary governors, who are free to act as they see fit so long as the tithes are paid. Even ensuring some form of loyalty falls not to the state, but to the Inquisition, another independent organization. If you want to take a planet back, you might call upon the Guard, but you may also need to request the help of the Adeptes Astartes, another independent organization that can, at will, refuse.The Imperium doesn’t have much in the way of freedoms, but that’s because it has like…7 different organizations all overlapping to tyrannize you at the same time. But none of them are subordinate to a single state. They’re all independent mini-tyrannies.
>>96509262Honestly cant think of any atm, i remember learning most of it through YouTube and maybe painters on instagram. Inks are fun to use through an airbrush, they can be a little finicky though. You'll want a flouro ink for what you're trying to achieve, daler rowney do a few of them and so does liquidex. Gsw do sell them too but they are a fuckin pain to find
The Imperium is bad because I can't fuck a beastwoman or a felinid.The T'au are good because I can do that.
>>96509518Thanks for the explanation.
>tfw the meme discussion is still going
>>96509803thats a lanky body type stylized after northern asians
>>96509826We should talk about saggy Eldar tits instead.
>>96509812But as shown in the snippet, the Imperium can nullify a governor's control over a planet on a whim. So the central power of Terra takes precedence. In a feudal system, a king can't take away a noble's right on a whim.
>>96509832>Still wood
>>96509836Its not ideal but preferable i guess
>>96509842that happened in feudal systems all the time, though
>>96509826Between the incels brewing experts on women's anotomy and zoomers thinking they know world politics and are experts on history this thread has officially lost the plot.
>>96509852>though
>>96509821T’au wouldn’t let guela untermensch intermingle with their pool of womans
>>96509858We can discuss your greytide nogames ass in a second just wait your turn.
>>96509859perchance
>this nigger again
>>96509852Nah. Nobles have privileges that a king can't touch. If a king wrongs a noble, the other nobles will turn on him.
>>96509832They are kinda itty bitty.
>>96509859mayhap
>>96509842Maybe that applies to the PG’s but there’s still plenty of organizations that get away with much more in the way of independence, the church, the space marines, the inquisition, the rogue traders. And the taking away of governor’s planets is mostly just something they do when the tithe isn’t enough, you don’t see that happening because the population isn’t “patriotic enough” or some other cultural or political reason, it pretty much just comes down to a feudal style taxation system that the Imperium has the right to increase at will. It’s tyrannical, it’s abusive, its self-destructive…But it’s not really fascist.
where on autism spectrum is a grey tider but with games
>>96509814Sick I'll check em out. Will be insanely helpful on my chorfs with all the flame effects they have. I'm thinking about a purple/gold scheme with green flames.
>play against world eaters>tfw their large, intimidating, scary looking forgefiend hiding behind ruins and staying out of losI mean it would be silly to play it aggressively but it just looks bizarre
>>96509878>starting but not completing projects That's not autism, that's ADHD.
>>96509859Who the fuck makes these?Though, it is the internet, so I don't shouldn't be surprised by it.
>>96509868which is exactly what happens to the Imperium all the fucking time
>>96509743Currently?The meta is a lot of boats, mix of venoms and raidsrs, split kabalites, 2x5 mandrakes for moving about, 10 incubi and an archon in a raider to shit on a unit of your choice. 2xcronos for pain token recovery. Scourge with dark lance or haywire spam.Basically they're a horde on boats and need very careful play
>>96509878Quite high or low. Can either be a waac individual or a dad / workaholic that has no time to paint their shit
>>96509896ADHD is a type of autism though.
>>96509743On the shelf until the codex.But people are getting some good results with Reapers Wager and a lot of tiered melee threats with scourge support.
>>96509889blame 40k for still being a “the whole army moves at once” wargame in its bigass age when no other game does that shit anymore
What's this incubi + archon meme i keep hearing about and what makes it so strong? Can I just overwatch with a bunch of torrent weapons and kill them?
>>96509939that's what the wyches are there for to charge flamers first and either you OW them or they're tied up and get double charged
>>96509939It's 10 incubi in a raider in Skyspliter Assault detachment with a pain token on the charge, they get like full rerolls and +1 to wound or something, and can delete basically any infantry unit in the game
>>96509897>Who the fuck makes these?the 'sharty, who else?
>>96509960Yeah ok that sounds fucked, I'd be spending 2 cp for fights on death in that case
>>96509878I've seen greytiders so autistic that they worry about priming their models because the spray might change. I've seen others that will admit to you that they are lazy. Greytide is a spectrum, entirely consisting of people making excuses, it just depends on what their excuse is
what would it take for other factions to start getting supplemental codecies like Space Marine?obviously not as a many as space marines, thats just a pipe dream but something like Imperial Guard: Catachan, or Aeldari: Ynnari what would also be good
>>96509859nothing wrong about it, thoughever
>>96509997anyone who plays greytide is ripe for the future culling
>>96510002Would be nice if the Tau got some auxiliary supplements.
>>96510002Nothing, because it would never happen. Those other factions are there to be NPCs and targets for Marines to interact with.
>>96509997honestly you almost have to respect the greytiders who don't make excuses and just admit they're lazy.almost.
>>96510011Well there goes half of the players at my lgs
I feel really stuck on painting because I cant come up with a color scheme for the stuff I got primed.
>>96509859I like our own homegrown one thoughbeit
>>96510018with how much shit kroot got its surprising they didn't just have a supplement
>>96510002They used to, in the old days. Even as relatively recent as 7th edition, that was a thing. With how they're doing codecies now, though, it probably would never hapen.
>>96510019okay what about Chaos Space Marines: Iron Warriors?
>>96510027this one is retarded
>>96510039>t. thread schizophrenic
>>96509939Dark Eldar have multiple ways to turn off OverWatch and that unit will evaporate anything it touches on the charge
>>96510038IRON WITHINIRON WITHOUT
>see someone playing their 2nd army as half greytide>no one can give him shit as he's the best painter at the lgs by far
>>96509997i mean i will remain grey tider till my lazy ass gets the markers and new can because while i have one of abaddon black it's also from like the release of original khorne demonkin never even opened and im not risking that shit to damage the models or just slide of like a sludge (alternatively explode)
>>96510002doing multiple small books is a travesty and always was, subfactions and flavorful rules are found and thrive in big fat booksone book for marinesone book for guard+admechone book for the rest of the imperiumone book for chaos undivided one book for chaos divided one book for eldarone book for orksone book for nidsone book for necronsone book for tau+votannfill each book to the brim with stuff
5 detachments GW? On a faction that already got one of their Codex detachments early and has had no bonus detachments? I thought we had learned from our mistakes and moved past this.Also, don't think I didn't notice that you didn't say how many data sheets are in the codex when you have for every other codex reveal article. I know what you're trying to hide.
>>96510056damn he's got you in a bind
>>96510057I saw those markers and thought it was a cool idea but probably feel very different to a paintbrush
>>96510066Cope, NPC.
>>96509518>The Imperium has very little control over culture, media, politics, the economy, etc. Instead that all comes down to the whims of individual governors.Not only you don't know shit about "fascism" except retarded and ahistorical by-the-book definitions, you also have no fucking idea about how the Imperium works in practice. You take shallow mentions about the Administratum or whatever not looking too closely at the inner details of planetary governments while everything works for them as expected, and proceed to make up hyperbolic shit about the rest. Shut the fuck up. Stop talking about politics here, poltard, and start reading 40k books before posting again
>>96510066that's 6 with grotmass, just like votann
>>96510067He's a commission painter so I guess he's busy painting other people's models before his own

Is James gonna do an end of edition campaign like Vigilus and Arks of Omen? Feels like 10th is running out of steam compared to how 8th and 9th ended.
I wish that my lgs gave greytiders shit. I’m fuckin sick of the proxies and laziness these people pull up with. its become cool to just not give a shit about anything including stuff you actually like I guess. I have respect for the sloppers who at least tried even if it looks like shit cause they sprayed their models with rustoleum or something equally criminal.
>>96510100They always do
>>96510064>one book for guard+admech >one book for the rest of the imperium >one book for chaos undivided >one book for chaos divided >one book for eldar>one book for nids >one book for tau+votann What terrible horrible ideas you have.
>>965101009th’s ending was a fuckin travesty, even still it had an ending so I’m sure this one will to.
>>96510100Yes, it's the War In The Webway. Vashtorr is going to try and breach the Webway gate on Terra, with the Custodes rallying to hold him off long enough for Russ and the Space Wolves to appear and drive him off.
>>96510104>I’m fuckin sick of the proxiesWOAH is that not GW official models? GET OUT OF MY STORE! REEE
>>96510104I think you could do most armies with 3 spray paint cans and a can of THE DIPP and have it turn out alright
>>96510117of courses you would think that, fag
>>96510104My favourite is when they turn up with a squad that isnt even built. Just bases to represent the unbuilt models.
>>96510075well, anon is right. he stated factual information about feudalism and fascism, which you would know if you ever read up on either one. also he is completely right as proven by the fact you didn't even try to refute a single point
>>96510002Funnily enough where WAS an Imperial Guard: Catachan Codex in 3rd and 4th editions. And Codex: Craftworld Eldar was released as a supplement for the Codex: Eldar (3rd Edition, IIRC). That could be fun, but really, I think one book with more variants, detachments and sub-faction-specific rules would be better than 10 small books.-Unrelated to previous poster:I'm an old fucker, who didn't play from 3rd edition onward. Money isn't a problem, but time is. I heard Boarding Patrol could be fast. Way faster than Kill Team. Is this true? What factions in Boarding Patrol are interesting to play? is this could
>>96510143come on dude that never happens
>>96510136>Just remove massive amounts of content from everyone except Marines, Necrons, and Orks, please.I wonder what armies you own.
>>96510075I’m using the Doctrine of Fascism as the guide on what fascism is, not your “if it feels bad it’s fascism” idea of it.
>>96510104Greytide is less insulting than an ugly battlefield.
>>96510153Boarding patrol is really fast. Kill team is surprisingly complicated these days with lots of abilities and rolls to make. If you want really really fast and simple then spearhead for aos is phenomenal and probably one of the best rules sets gw has made in a while
>>96510159>>Just remove massive amounts of contentI didn't say that in the slightest, on the contrary, I said to fill those books with stuff
>>96510173i keep hearing about Spearhead being really good, what makes it so different that shit like combat patrol?
>>96510168(you)
>>96510177...but Marines and Orks and Necrons can remain as they are.
>>96510104> I have respect for the sloppersI'm curious what's considered a slopper model now. Any examples?
>>96510168Yea its hard to lose to someone with a 2nd grade paint level
>>96510173I never played aos so this might be a stupid question but is it possible to twitch the rules for 40k? some kind of hybrid homebrew?
>>96510131Some sloppers can’t be saved even by the dip
>>96510173>for aos Kill yourself. Why would anyone be intrested in that.
>>96510157Its happened several times for me so far, I generally tolerate it but it just enables that sort of behaviour
Nid players, how do you feel about this sudden "NEUROCYTES EVERYWHERE" lore swing?>Norn Emissary has one swelling its brain on the back of its head>Norn Assimilator has one on its back even though it's not a psyker unit>Neurolictor has one overtaking its head completely from what I can tell from the models, the Neurogant Nodebeast might be a juvenile Neurolictor>Neurogants not allowed to pal around with anyone but NeurotyrantThe Neurotyrant at least is the 2nd edition Zoanthrope to go with the Screamer Killer, since GW is obsessed with glowing up the oldhammer shit to truly drain those last drops of soul, but I'm not sure if I like how immediately these things are everywhere, from out of nowhere.Has there been a particular book that gets into this phenomenon?
>>96510202>>96509484
>>96510205You would need to assign a Strength stat to each weapon and a Toughness stat to each model in AoS. It would be 'simple', but time consuming.
>>96510143and then they never build the models anyway>>96510157it does
>>96510200no, they also get a big book full of stuffcan you even read?
>>96510202he means basic contrast paintjobs from new painters. Just search "40k contrast" on google images or some other image search engine and you'll get plenty of examples like this one I grabbed.
>>96510221Fuck you
>>96510131Is quickshade good for if I want to use it traditionally. It seems like a good bulk deal
>>96510148Factual my ass, open a history book>>96510160Yeah, that's why you are stupid. Being very, very generous it's like using the Bible to describe actual christians through history. Or delusional tankies citing Marx as it it had anything to do with the Soviet Union.And also why you're unaware of how imperial planets actually work in 40k.
>>96510190Less shooting so it's much less about camping an objective and more focused on maneuvering to get charges. The warscrolls are also very very simplified even compared to combat patrol so turns go by crazy fast. I've finished games in 45 minutes with first time players and have gotten 30min games with people familiar to it
>>96510215Look coolNo notes
>>96510213Because it's fun and the models are good. The same reason you'd play any wargame
>>96510246>the models are good.>AoS
>>96510222got a link to the official rules? I have some extra time the next two weeks and if it's a simple numbers crunching thing I could do at least two armies I guess. maybe post thoughts and WIP in future threads, sharing is caring and all that
>>96510190They are balanced around one another which makes them perfect starter forces. Granted, they aren't balanced outside of Spearhead. But they make a great intro.
>>96510243thanks, I gave the neurocyte a different color shell
>>96510235The quickshade is really real thick compared to normal washes, it's pretty much a can of tinted woodworking varnish. I don't know what you could thin it with. You'd have to check the msds to see what it actually is. I know it's thick enough that you have to physically shake the excess off
>>96510236it might shock you anon but I actually studied history. you know, with actual sources and reading and stuff
>>96510229>Just massively expand Necrons and Orks>Don't expand anybody else, thoughAlright
>>96510246>Because it's fun...>The same reason you'd play any wargameSir this is 40kg
>>96510259>>Don't expand anybody else, thoughI literally said the opposite of that, CAN YOU EVEN FUCKING READ?
>>96510250you're just baiting for good AOS models aren't you
>>96510250say what you want but gloomspites are the most kino faction in ALL of warhammer
>>96510271that's one of the only good AoS models and it only looks good from that angle
>>96510190>no discrepancies like 320pt gsc vs 700pt custards per box>way less shootingthat already makes them more balanced, simplicity or not
>>96510238Isn't most of AoS less shooting, barring like, KO and a few others? Or does Spearhead have even less shooting?>>96510253Sure, but Combat Patrol is also supposed to be balanced around eachother too, in its own game mode. I'm guessing Spearhead just didn't fail at doing that?
>>96510202Its hard to fuck up as bad as the people im talking about. I know people that sprayed their models with car paint. I wont post examples because I don’t wanna publicly shame them
>>96510250Trying too hard but yes actually
>>96510190Compared to Combat Patrol which is pretty much mainline 40k but tweaked, Spearhead is more of it's own game with simplified stats & rolls. It's pretty quick and fun, the balance is pretty good. they have a system where certain units are able to re-spawn after getting wiped out but it doesn't make the games overlong, it just makes it so that everything isn't carried by characters.>>96510250>>96510213Look anon, I know you think you need to fit in on 4chan by calling everything shit and smugly telling everyone to kill themselves but it's not necessary, and frankly its boring.
>>96510270I don't understand how you could fit the Mechanicus and IG into one book, that is the same size as Necrons and have this be anywhere near equitable.
>>96510281spearhead actually has thought to the rules to make the different forces actually work, it's why everybody's been clamoring for them to do that with combat patrol
>>96510281Aos has less shooting than 40k and then spearhead has even less cause the amount of shooting units is limited to what comes in the boxes and it'll usually only be one unit.
Look I don't think I would play AOS but some of those Death models are sick.
>>96510250All the new Seraphon sculpts are really good, you don't have to act contrarian just for the sake of it

>>96510316a lot of people use AoS vamp models as Drukhari stuff, especially as archons

>>96510339>in her case it's her actual brain, not a symbiotic organism, unlike the node beastmy theory is that, if a neurogant nodebeast lives long enough to secure enough biomass, the neurocyte will just fully parasitize the host's brain and BECOME their brain, like that species of tick that latches to an army ant's wrist and just...becomes its new hand.

Definition of fascism fags might be even more fucking annoying than shit like decalmutant. The force of both misanthropy and severely debilitating autism. Only on 4chan.

>>96510410The point was to give their sculptors more freedom to do whatever they wanted.
>>96510410Spite
>>96510359Thats a really good idea. But what about the rest?
>>96510428well, that did not work out.
>>96510354With this DE codex removing all the Resin and replacing the Archon (and previously the Mandrakes) there is no longer a need to proxy anything to play Drukhari.
>>96510410They wanted marines, an advancing narrative and big demigod characters.
>>96510419>because they are coolif they did for that reason their sales wouldn't crash and burn the moment something taller enters the discussion
>>96510488not sure what you're on about, anything marines sells instantlyI'd wager not much has changed in the last few decades, and a box of intercessors by itself sells more than some armies entire line
>>96510508How much more popular do you think Marines are in the states as opposed to the UK?
>>96510508how much do you think grey knights sell?

>>96510526b-but what are kino vampire colors :(
>>96510508The Tactical Marine Box still sells so well that it's comical, though it's no longer king.
>>96510547>The Tactical Marine Box still sells so wellDoes it?
>>96510221I'm at a loss here - that looks like a pretty good painted army? Not Golden Demon level, of course, but better than just "battle ready" in my opinion.>>96510232That I understand, thank you. So it's - prime black, dry-brush white\light-grey, contrast with two-three colors.So, say, I did just that, tried contrast paint on a Votann KT model. Except didn't finish the face and the base yet. Is this what's called "sloppers"?
>>96510410Ironically it's not the ending of WHFB itself that caused the backlash and resurgence in interest enough for it to be revived as The Old World, but rather how the End Times were done in that it was mostly the writing equivalent of having everyone die offscreen, and the official line from GW is that AoS was replacing WHFB and if you don't like that, too bad.If GW had simply said they were not producing new models for WHFB but the game would still be supported as far as playing it in GW stores and such, and the existing inventory would be sold out to the last and maybe doing some made-to-order production runs in the future, I wonder if it would have garnered as much attention. Historically, WHFB made such lower sales than 40k and LotR it was hardly worth the cost of upkeep, and sales showed that it was trending down year after year ever since about 2007. GW operate almost entirely on sales metrics, since it's pretty much the only way to metricize popularity of a game. Telling fans of anything that their game is being replaced is by another very different one always going to be a hard sell, and potentially hurt reception of the new game. It ended up having the opposite effect of existing WHFB players getting what they could while they still had the chance, and getting non-players to take a look at it. Meanwhile WHFB as a general community stayed strong enough that GW committed to prospecting by re-releasing kits with an updated ruleset in TOW, we'll see how that goes since the cost of entry was always a huge issue with WHFB. It's not like the game was a paragon of perfection either, the magic system was oppressive and it had all the same balance and convoluted rules problems of any older wargame. Anyway, that's my opinion on the matter as someone who was playing pretty much everything GW made from about 1997 to present day.
>>96510550Ty anon you're sweet
>>96510554Ive never seen anyone play LotR, its hard to imagine that it did better than WHFB
>>96509872>>96509803What is this? Is this some vidya I'm unaware of?
>>96510550>I'm at a loss hereIt's a poster known as decal slopper so i assume thats why the other anon linked himHe's unhinged and best to be avoided (the decal guy)
>>96510550>that looks like a pretty good painted armyThe thread is close to dying anyway so I'll entertain you - all these are just basecoats+washes. Plus he didn't even bother to clean the wash so smaller minis are all messy with coffee staining. I don't even know if it would pass as battle ready because he consistently doesn't paint all details on his minis. Even if it did though, it's definitely not "better than just "battle ready""

>>96510574Concept art for Dark Millenium, cancelled 40k MMO by THQ. Seems to have had some of the artists from Darksiders involved in the concept stages.

>>96510602Interesting
>>96510518idc what is popular in the UK or yurop, they play with gay house rules
>>96510573It was a smash hit as far as miniature games go. It basically did for GW back then, what Space Marine 2 is doing for them now with 40k. Name/brand recognition has always been powerful.
>>96510573I think LoTR was big in the US and WFB big in the UK, comparatively
>>96510702The hearsay I've always read online is WHFB is most popular in continental Europe while most other places prefer 40k.
>>96510549Just from the store owners I've talked to it moves very well, they compared it to the more popular units from less popular armies. IIRC it still sells well on online retailers too.
>>96506908F*ck Mike Brooks>>96507909I came up with a similar concept for a Dark Eldar Wych-cult
>>96510753When are they coming out with Warhammer 40k: Classic Edition and its just funny shaped firstborn with maybe 1 vehicle.
>>96510784Soon since supposedly GW is working on Warhammer: The Scouring starring the second founding chapters.
>>96510794that rumor is faket. I was the one who made it up
>>96510784never, no one likes power squatting
