TQ I genuinely prefer ruined cities when the terrain is done right. This is seldom done right.
Who won 10th edition? Who lost?
What is it?
>>96510619Probably necromunda
>>96510615>Who won 10th editionGW>Who lostThe players
>>96510619Necromunda enforcer character
>>96510617Minor correction; it was actually being fully made by Vigil Games, the studio behind Darksiders 1 and 2. Naturally when THQ collapsed the title went with it, and the studio disbanded as well.
>>96510615Gw won Forgeworld lost.
>>96510633Of all the flavors you could be you chose to be salty though
>>96510615Tyranids got the best release wave.
>>96510615Can't tell you who won, but Votann lost. The new models are mostly mid aside from the characters, and the rules are dogshit.
>>96510642Damn, probably for the best, idk how theyd handle primaris.
The warsuit is overhated. It’s a cool model that is fun to build and fun to paint. I hope they will give it an upgrade sprue for more weapons and shit.
>>96510619Said in the last thread but it's kroot. They've got guns with almost this exact design, the biggest component for this being the three lines below the armor.

>>96510599Ruined city is the best looking terrainnusually. The dream is to play on a seriously cluttered jungle table one day
>>96510669Imperial guard?
>>96510619Already figured out, it's a new Kroot kit. Probably some sort of new Kill Team or a Tau mini wave 2. My conspiracy theory is that instead of rushing to 11th edition, all next year is going to be small wave 2s for every faction as shown by the Night bringer leaks.
>>96510669Are Custodes getting new models anytime soon?
>>96510599>Assuming it's all good looking terrain, do you prefer playing on ruined cities, jungle worlds or deserts of some kind?Ruined cities are for sure my favorite. Love all that hard cover.
>>96510661I always thought they were neat, never liked the cockpit but there's a lot of solutions for that these days

>>96510661Nice baby carrier, anon
>>96510686For Horus Heresy yes.
>>96510690Nta but I see it now. You have good eyes.
>>96510672Having rules that rely on points that come at the cost of being on objectives sucks. No, having a character that can give you one extra in a turn doesn't change that.It means that you're entirely dependent on what your opponent does to have an army rule. If they don't stand on objectives, then for the first 1-2 turns, you're hitting on fucking 4+. The army is now more hordy than ever, and nothing feels strong.AdMech has better army rules than Votann now, and they were the laughing stock of the edition. They at least have full control over their own army rule!
>>96510687Also, not having any dumb elevation makes it easy to lay down super-legible objective markers.
>>96510690>>96510697>bottle of paint upon ye
Purifiers
>>96510679They were pretty alright, kinda debated putting them in winners.
>>96510599>TQForcing me to choose one will have me going with ruined city, but any table is a joy to behold and played on when done well. My actual favorite style of table is one that mixes things, like an outpost in the jungle or a a desert with an oasis as the focus.
>>96510661>>96510690
from last thread>>96510403the Von Ryan's Leaper seems to be a strong piece of evidence against that.I've always believed that a base Ripper can grow into literally any tyranid morph, based on the environment, food sources, and the needs of the hivemind. They're like Squigs, they just keep growing as long as they keep eating.I've heard and read and been told that the Hive ships just spit nids out fully grown in pods and shoot them in sporocysts, but I believe both of these things can be true at once. Especially when the visual language of the Tyranids has such an evolutionary throughline.Always assume that 99.99% of any morph is dying in battle and being reassimilated, while the hive ships in orbit are growing and deploying flash-grown template morphs but in my head-canon:>Rippers grow into Gaunts, or into Guns, or into Glands>Gaunts have branches of evolution that lead to all other morphs>Hormagants can grow into VR's Leapers, which grow into Lictors (first wave of nids might be "printed" lictors like Deathleaper, or seeded rippers that eat enough local fauna to become Lictors)>can grow out their tails/hooves and become Raveners (new models have more gaunt-like heads), which grow into Mawlocs/Trygons>can bulk up into Hive Guard, which bulk up into Carnifexes or Tervigons, etc.>can eat a bunch of psykers and become Zoanthropes>can bulk up into Warriors, which bulk up into Primes, which can bulk up into Hive Tyrants, which can bulk up into Norn Emm or Norn Ass>Biovore is just a hexapod hormagant with a beefed up shell, the actual gun is a seperate Tyranid>Gun-morphs just simbiote/parasitize onto Gaunt-morphs, the more the Gaunt eats the bigger the Gun gets to matchOh and obviously a Gargoyle is just a Termigant with wings.The Neurocytes are new to this balance, though they could be cousin to the Adrenal gland morph, which is a similar brain-bug looking organism.Anyways that's my big dumb headcanon, I'm sure GW would have a fit.

>>96510599I just want bigger tables.Worst case it's an extra turn or two of units moving, but it'd make games feel less claustrophobic
>>96510736>ywnb mighty, dark winged, or avengingFeels bad man
>>96510745No. : )
>>96510743>the Von Ryan's Leaper seems to be a strong piece of evidence against that.It might more simply be convergence evolution.We have never seen gaunts develop into other biomorphs, while we have seen a multitude of biomorphs being developed with parallel adaptations.It's unlikely for all winged nids to come from the same branch, for example.
>>96510661It's sick, I don't know why people think its ridiculous. Light vehicles meant to support insertion small insertion squads are a real thing irl. The Sheridan and BMD all have coke can aluminum for armor and operate on a "just dont get hit bro lol" doctrine, there's nothing ridiculous about an under armored gun support platform. The baby carrier is stupid simply because the knight is strapped into it in a really retarded way.
>>96510661>The warsuit is overhated.I guess since lore-wise it's supposed to be a stealth/spec-ops-unit, which makes no sense, considering the size of itIf anything, they should have made it as a Dreadnought for living Astartes basicallyWell, I guess that role is already filled by the Dreadnoughts themselves
@96510783>Trolling outside of /b/
What are some of the oldest plastic kits still present on GW store?
>>96510804Dire avengers and war walkers are both 2006 I think

>>96510804Vyper is 1997, falcon 1998 IIRC
>>96510814
>>96510793It has an open cockpit, big silly human hands so it can use it's holstered(?!) gun, and it looks like a toy.
>>96510804Vyper and Falcon are from late 2nd edition. >>96510822Appeared in the March 1997 issue of WD yeah. Falcon appeared in December 1997.
Bunch of random new Inquisition guys
>Check Vyper on WH store>Sold Out OnlineHold the fuck upWasn't it rumored it was getting refreshed?
>>96510828Whoever that is seems like a pretty cool guy. Like someone who actually has good taste, and an actual appreciation for the hobby of miniatures wargaming. Not like the soijaks who actually like Nu40k, who will swallow whatever slop is dumped in front of them.
>>96510828christ these discordfags are fags. get a fucking life, losers. do you really have nothing better to do than sit on a tibetan stonecarving forum 24/7 to stop people from talking about a game about tiny plastic spacemen?
>>96510669>>96510615Kroot (and Vespids) won bigly. It was not only a huge refresh, but also new kits and Knarloc expansion still can happen as well. Kroot are miniarmy now.I think it could be said that Tau Alien Alliance - Auxiliaryfags won, Tau Mechaweebs lost
theorycrafting: the reason Genestealer cultists get cut off right as they dive into the digestion pit isn't because the Hive Mind is just a dick, it doesn't want to contaminate itself by absorbing too many human minds.The cultist's genetic link to the Hive can run two ways, and if the hive keeps its connection to the cultists as they die, it might absorb them completely into itself, the way the consciousness of every named Nid, and possibly every single individual Nid period, is stored within the Hive's repository of genetic memory. The Hive doesn't want to waste bandwidth and storage space on tyranid genetics contaminated with human thoughts, so it just tosses them and keeps the Purestrains, which is what it really wants out of the cults, as they're a more condensed, collected genetic record of the humans living on the planet than just eating every single one of them.My personal theory is that the Nids want more than just the biomass, they want the genetic information and all the history of adaption hidden within. It's why they've become more adapted and predatory since they got here, their design has been refined by human, orkish, and aeldari DNA.>>96510789Well, we know primes and hive tyrants can grow wings, so all morphs are highly elastic and modular. I'm just proposing that they're SO elastic, one could bridge the gap to become another, given time and opportunity. The thing is, the hive prints Old One Eye like he's his own Carnifex morph, but there had to be an original OOE, the one that embified the morph.I think all individual tyranids are either printed from a list of templates, or "natural" nids that grow and potentially become new templates. Like maybe the Hivemind only keeps the minds, memories and templates of about a dozen hormagants in the banks of the entire fleet, since they had the highest kill/death ratio, and just printed them out en masse, but those gaunts had to get those scores naturally.
>>96510849There's lots of rumors about 40k constantly. But if it was and the rumor was from a reliable source then something might have gone wrong with the sprue dies. Supposedly the Eldar refresh was going to occur in 9th but the sprues were faulty so it got delayed to 10th, that could have happened with the Vyper.
@96510858Nice try
>>96510828But like why though?
Just report, dont reply!
>>96510869It's funnier if the Hive Mind is just a dick
>>96510822>>96510838Love this and I dont get why they can't do with all the kitsGunpla still print old as fuck set and they are still cool
>>96510849yes, corsairs wave, when? who knows, maybe with a campaign book.
>>96510861>STOP INSULTING WARHAMMERS!>LEAVE GAMES WORKSHOP ALONE!
>>96510838>Vyper and Falcon are from late 2nd edition.And they still look great.
First test model for my Scrapfighters guard army. The whole concept is:>three admech forgeworlds in the system>they all dump a load of trash, failed STC prints, etcetc on this world>the world is still populated and expected to meet their tithe>they tinker with stuff to make it work again and against all odds put together a proper army>even if said army looks (and literally is) like a bunch of rusty scrap>meltas weren't drawing power from the engine properly, so strap some extra generators on top>front armor plate severely damaged, weld some trash metal on it and roll it out
>>96510881true
>>96510890fuck sorry
>>96510883Oh it's definitely being a dick, I just think there's a hidden weakness in there. The best kind of weakness: a Kryptman exploit>what if we just force-feed it a shitload of human minds? will that make the hive mind sick? will it grow a conscience and learn the power of friendship? LET'S FIND OUT!
>>96510861Who the hell cares about disrupting 40k threads? Who gives a shit?
>>96510889Yea a lot of vehicles hold up despite their age. The sprue has been reworked but the basic leman russ design is still mostly the same as its 2nd edition incarnation.
>>96510890>>96510899also used a bunch of tamiya putty to add extra texture
>>96510869No, the hivemind has a human personality and gets off on how evil it is. It goes bwhahaha and throws a toddler fit when things don't go itself way. This is the real lore, it has talked to several psykers and it is always like this.
>>96510885The falcon kit is real bad now, mold lines and mold slip everywhere, weird texturing on flat surfaces too. Molds decay with use.
>>96510907discordfags, apparently
>>96510915Oh so it's one of those "The emperor is a genius but the writers aren't" situations.
>>96510899>>96510912Cool stuff king
>>96510912and the Lord Solar proxy (originally made it for a Necromunda homebrew thing before this all came about)
>>96510929Ecclesiorks
>>96510707I agree with this.Adding to this, our detachments don't make sense either as they focused on the Brokhyr, Hernkyn, and Cthonian elements of the army but ignored the Hearthkyn and Hearthguard. They should've set up the detachments to resemble the 9th edition Leagues instead of the models in a VERY limited range. Having said that, I'm going to keep playing them because I dwarves, space or fantasy, are my favorite faction. Just need James to figure out how to build their rules.

>>96510965thats what they want you to think, its 70% raiders
>>96510971"rhino sniping was good for the game actually"-ass arguments, such is life in the zone.
>>96510903Being more serious, the Hive Mind likely fully understands Human minds. It was capable of blasting an Eldar's brain with visions of her getting tortured and brutally killed by Nids just by casually glancing her way, and Eldar minds are supposed to be far more complex than Human ones. 'Stored' human minds would essentially be an afterthought, maybe literally, and wouldn't even be within the Hive Mind's consideration. It likely just 'turns off' the synaptic link as a reflex, and given that it makes no difference if it happens fast enough to disconnect or not the result in inconsequential to the Hive Mind.Inversely, a human mind/soul absorbed into the Hive Mind would likely have an eldritch epiphany as they get overloaded by the sheer scale of he being they're now part of, immediately going mad either in screaming dread and agony, or in rapturous 'enlightened' bliss.

>>96510951Thank you. It's hard because I like some of the changes, but keeping the whole army at BS+4 feels like a slap in the face. It honestly feels like we're still paying for the sins of 9th edition.
>>96510992>It honestly feels like we're still paying for the sins of 9th edition.That's decidedly it. Because of maybe 2 days of broken rules, and because the faction is new (and not Imperial)If it were Imperial, no one would bitch

>>96510971There were not many people saying 7th was better than 8th, mostly just that they missed templates and then people would call them retarded.
>>96511005people bitch about absolutely everything. People still complain that Eldar have been OP in the past
>>96510938realistically the grotmas should;ve gotten a rebalance with the codex coming out, because while it might try to support hearthguard with closest shooting it still kinda not a lot and doesn't interact with the core army rule at all
>>96511010I was there, either some anons had five VPNs or it was a majority of people here
>>96511014They were never gonna do that because they want to sink Hearthguard. Everyone already bought them, time to push new shit
Do you paint your own terrains?
>>96510922huh
>>96510828seems fake to meI could go make that exact same "proof" in 3 minutes
>>96510971I remember people were happy during early index-era 8th and as time went on early 8th has been generally remembered fondly. Only fluffags treat 8th as the spawn of satan. Of the editions I played>5e: Fun but vehicles were too good>6e: Fun but vehicles were too shit, best psychic phase in my memory>7e: Fun before formation creep killed it>8e: Fun before stratagem bloat killed it>9e: The most breakneck edition, there were massive FAQs and changes every few months. Had some fun games but it changed so often many just waited for 10e>10e: Dawn of War 3 Tabletop Edition
>>96511026>we're still pretending GW balances for sales
>>96511024I was there too, I made 75% of threads for a while.I do not remember much discussion about 7th being better than 8th at all. 7th was bloated to all hell and early index 8th was fun until the codexes started getting out of hand.
>>96511042If GW doesn't balance for sales, how come Hearthguard have less toughness than fucking naked dwarfs
>>96511040I hate to quote /v/ but fun is a buzzword, especially in a tabletop gaming sphere where people want the pasta point, I am genuinely shocked we haven't gotten a copy pasta about how wargames are supposed to suck and be stoically enjoyed
>>96510908Agreed. I hope GW adheres to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," but I sometimes worry that they'll remake something just for the sake of it. A lot of 20+ year old vehicles still look great. I'm a huge fan of the Devilfish and Falcon chassis and it bugs me when people clamber for something to get a new model just because the current one's age is a big number.
>>96511056because there's more to survivability than just toughness
>>96511035>>96510965Yesss Anons, that's right. An organized resistance? What foolishness.
>>96511048From my memory "index only 8th was good" is a revisionists take
>>96511028I started painting a few pieces but stopped to paint models, I need to hit 2000pts.
>>96511066don't care, man in full suit of mastercrafted dwarf armor should have at least the same toughness as man of same species who is naked
>>96510938>>96510707Hm, guess I've never thought of the rule like that in any real capacity. I hated JT with a passion since our index (and hated the auto-wounding in 9th, but I was hopeful they could do better things with JT back then) so this is a major step in the right direction to me, even from a pure flavor standpoint.I will say that I do like the fact that it makes our opponents think between us shooting them more effectively or letting us score primaries easier, but this is speaking without having played the rules. In a competitive sense, I 100% agree that it sucks to give your opponent that much agency. But I play way more casually and can't think of a single opponent in my LGS that'd stay off of objectives that long.I do agree wholeheartedly on the detachments. I was really looking forward to a hearthguard detachment and beyond the index a Hearthkyn detachment seems absent. I was also majorly disappointed by the beserk detachment, not only because beserks aren't my favorite unit but because I was hoping for a more general melee detachment, and they decided to hard-focus a single unit instead.I'll be playing my first game with needguard on Thursday so I'll get my first chance to actually try out the new rules then, but while I was really excited when the rules were revealed I guess I'm a bit more cautious now.One thing I think still stands is that I think this will be way better for us in the future, considering all GW has to do to balance this is tweak a single resource instead of just letting us effectively not have an army rule (by making tons of units start with JT instead of accruing them, which was my most hated part of the rule)
>>96511073It was *mostly* good other than sisters who could spam special weapons with the not points thing they used that i dont remember the name of.But also there were maybe 5 sisters players at that point because they were all metal I was one of them
>>96510969Before this year the oldest model was metal/resin warp spiders from 1993.Eldar range was ancient before the 2019-2025 refreshes
>>96511061That's true, I'm more retelling the general consensus (as much as one can exist on /tg/) with my own personal experience added in. I've had fun with late 7e / 8e, 9e and 10e as well, but I've noticed it usually fizzles out faster. Plus I live near the largest Brick and Mortar GW in the US and during 5e, 6e, early 7e and early 8e is was very active. But now it's pretty dead, only places I see 40k games now are in an LGS where people practice for tournaments.
>>96510715I like varied terrain. Even with ruined cities, I like to mix it up. I will sometimes stack books under building to put them on elevation. I've got a collection of books that are the right thickness to line up with the terrain.
>>96510869The hive mind and tyranids could do a lot of things in a lot of ways, theoretically, but practically we don't see them working that way or with anything pointing to more complex things than what we're shown.For example, it's sick as hell to imagine a group of gaunts being given the order to nest, cocoon and emerge as gargoyles after a metamorphosis a few days later, but we don't see them doing anything along these lines.It's entirely possible that the classification between genus that the imperials have done so far are fundamentally all wrong, but we've got to consider there's a basis of truth and that these genus have some real genetic differences that mark them as distinct.We also are given very little to think that the hive mind absorb its creatures minds only with the digestion pools, we know from the rpg that the swarmlord has a sort of droneship managing its continued experience regardless of whether the body gets absorbed, similarly old one eye has been replicated even if the original one never went to a digestion pool, the original is frozen somewhere under the ministrations of a hybrids cult after they recovered it in ultramar.The growth from ripper to other biomorphs is also quite dubious, for starters it's a hypothesis, secondly, we don't know whether rippers are pluripotent or whether the larval stages of various things just happen to be very similar, not to mention the doubt whether it's the rippers themselves that develop into the organism, or rippers are merely the mean by which the chamber to spawn a new organism is built.
>>96511086The flavor is much better, but the mechanical implementation sucks nuts. Army rule aside, having so many of the strategems for every detatchment basically require YP to be good when other armies just get similar strategems without the hoops... well, it fucking sucks.Even in a casual setting, having so little control over your own army rule feels awful, especially when the majority of other armies have full control over theirs. Even similar ones given to other "should be 3+ BS/WS but we have to make space marines feel special" such as Tau and AdMech leave the control entirely in the player's hands.I wish you luck with Needgard.
>>96511091Thank God the new ones look good.
>>96511028Yes.
>>96510745>tsportsWhat does this mean? Table sports?
>>96511115they look objectively worse than the old ones
>>96511127No, they really don't.
>>96511126transports obv
>>96511108Thanks man, I've never been upset to lose a game so I'm still super excited to throw my stuff on the table and see what kinds of interactions I find figure out with the detachment. Admittedly I've always been more hopeful so I've got that going for me.To complain a bit though, I absolutely hate everything about the steeljack rules. I took 1 look at the models and said "oh cool there's our 3+ save 3w models" and was absolutely baffled when they were not only tougher but had the same save as our existing terminator equivalent. In what world does the extremely bulky armor on the left have the same armor save as the much lighter and much more exposing armor on the right? Heck, his shoulders are exposed in the game known for heavy armor being defined by bigger shoulder pads.Apologies, I don't like being so negative, but seeing my favorite unit in the codex be so obviously replaced in this edition hurt a lot.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96511127Lol, no. The new Warp Spiders look great. I really like pretty much all the new Aspect Warriors, except the Swooping Hawks and their rocks.
>>96511140>GW rightfully noticed how tournament players are the best and most diehard 40k fans and listen to them for balancing and rules design advice.it was always bound to happen, Tsports players play more and play better than anyone hereLore nerds on other sites read more than anyone here
>>96511028slowly but yeahhate it even more than vehicle painting thoughneed to get on painting my printed boarding actions stuff
>>96511140>>96511158trying too hard at this point
>>96511151No, trust me, I get it, Hearthguard are my favorite too.I'm fine with the two being equal in saves... but I will never get over HG getting lower toughness than fucking Berserks. They're naked!
>>96511165stop giving him attention
>>96510743I am a proponent of various nid bioforms diverging into others but not in real time. It's the result of the iterative process the hive mind goes through with every invasion - tweaking bioforms ever so slightly in response to the prey planet, continuing to specialize them until it gets the job done most efficiently, then if it determines that this newly specialized bioform is useful enough to become a standard use template, recreating it on the regular in the future.Hence, a particular invasion may have demanded a response in the spawning of Hormagaunts that favored an increase in bulk and leaping ability, and chameleonic capability, and the result was favorable enough that the Hive Mind decided, "this will be worth repeating as is in the future". Hormagaunts didn't actively grow into Leapers, there were probably a few dozen successive generations of Hormagaunts in a particualr invasion that gradually brought about the form of Leapers, and they were successful.
>>96511140Wow, really cool! Thanks, anon! I love to see The Hobby™ growing!
>>96511165reminder to report and ignore shitposting
>>96511159>printed boarding actions stuffWhat stuff? I'm also looking for some.
>>96511140I shouldnt be surprised this has happened. Rather surprised it took so long to happen.
>>96511028Yeah I painted a bunch of Ork desert terrain for the LGS.>>96511167Yeah, definitely feels weird for our terminator equivalent to not be one of our tougher units.
>>96511140Thank you. Should I go to /awg/ and look into alternative systems where I can still use my 40k models to avoid associating with these guys or to minimize running into them at the lgs.
>>96511180https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-gothic-navy-spaceship-a-boarding-action-terrain-292991don't have a pic onhand of the stuff I have printed but it's this guy's stuff, printed up nicely on my prusa
>>96511195It's so weird, right? Like, it's basically one of our weakest units now. The -1 to wound is no longer baked in, lower toughness to equal our battleline, and only 2 wounds while still being costed very high...Not to mention our grenade launchers being near-useless now.It feels so bad.
>>96511198That's an over reaction isn't it? why let people like that have power over how you live.
>>96511253Good point. I just reread my post and I feel like a tard. Thank you anon.
>>96511217Looks nice. I was eyeing this one out for it seems "simple" as the guy intended. How much filament did you use for it?https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-space-wreck-gothic-boarding-actions-terrain-set-bundle-super-file-318184
>>96511154You already got it
>>96510837all 40k models look like toys when they're painted that way. because they are toys.
>>96511265a few kg spools, but I printed up a lot of duplicates
>>96510793>"It's like a sentinel but retarded" is not the defense you think it is. The warsuit is dumb.
>>96511325>because they are toysPrecisely. It should just be embraced and painted with bright, punchy colors and not some grimdark bullshit
Gulliman dies in 11th
>>96510664Requesting advice on how to improve this list, please
>>96511340good, fuck marvelhammer, keep primarchs in their dedicated containment game.
>>96511340Right after bringing him back and giving him a model? For what, shock value?
>>96511340>Gulliman dies in 11th
>>96511351yes, and to revert the setting back to match the amazon show period
What's the verdict?
>>96511370same old boring pose as a hundred other models. kind of a waste of time.
>>96511370Archon is fine, but bland. Head looks dumb.Shadowheart is cute.
>>96511370massive improvement over the 7e archon
>>96511370underwhelming
>>96511370Totally badass
>>96511370shame the tall helmet didnt make a return but oh well
>>96510828Lmao why would they spend time doing this? This doesn't even seem fun it sounds like work
>>96511404isnt that double face one the tall helmet?
>>96511370I only just now realized that dudes got tits. Fucking awful.
>>96511432I'm thinking its for trans representation maybe
>>96511432there are different male and female breastplates in the kit anon. other than that its just a matter of "GW painting faces lmao"
>>96510979Aren't the supposed raiders the natives at that point.
>>96511432that's a woman
>>96511426while it's no slouch darkies used to have chorf-tier tall helmet for archon
>>96511458a tall crest is different from a tall hat
honestly Drukhari should be the main elves in 40k, not the Aeldari
>>96511478Only if they drop the gay edgy bdsm shit.
>>96511482they're basically cenobites so its okayall of humanity's enemies need to be evil as evil can be
>>96511478I mean the craftworld Eldar are basically a Khaine cult, how versions are basically Dark Elves. One side is just honest about it.
>>96511478>drukhari>aeldari
>>96511492its better than their original names
>>96511478Eldar don't even fit in 40k, they shouldn't be in at all.
>>96511478>honestly The Dark Eldar should be the main elves in 40k, not the the Eldarftfy>>96511499they sound retarded
>>96511488There's a difference between being evil and being comically edgy.
>>96511504How do you figure that? They've been in since the beginning.
>>96511370Imperfect, but a huge improvement over the old model. The helmet looks very good imo.
>>96511508i take it you don't care for CSM or orks either
>>96511508In the Grim Darkness of the 41st millennium there is no torture because that makes anon feel uncomfy
>>96511504Why is this retarded meme so persistent? Anything can "fit" into 40k because it's a sandbox setting for all the stuff James stole from other sci-fi and fantasy franchises.
>>96511504Let me guess, you own at least 3 different marine armies and think that Tau and Necrons don't belong in 40k either.
>>96511532Not everything should be fitted into warhammer.
>>96511529csm work only because there's the non-edgy imperials to juxtapose, just like dark eldar are fine once provided the existence of normal eldar first and foremost.Orks are perfect the way they are.
>>96511532It's one guy who has been on an anti-Eldar troll bait kick for a very long time because this channel is like 15% Eldar players and they can't help but jump to defend themselves every time
>>96511558>this channel
>>96511565The 4channel
>>96511370Double face holding the gem with a whip.
>>96511550>the non-edgy imperials
Is Destinyposter going to be adding Shatterpoint models to their army?
>>96511580Did you get the wrong thread?
>>96511532>Why is this retarded meme so persistent?Because secondaries get into a different setting, mistaking it for 40k, and as a result end up not understanding the point of 40k.
>>96511159 good man, good structures for D&D or fantasy>>96511195 this is absolutely comfy. Good drybrush on the edges of the Orky pieces. >>96511028Terrain is another level of enjoyment in the hobby>>96511080if you added some sand to the inside corners of the building, it would add a lot of good texture. >>96511370Zero interest, it's not Vect
>>96511579they may be evil and they may be macabre, but they're not edgy, no, not comparatively to what's otherwise considered edgy in 40k.
>>96511579Yeah, part of your population starving isn't edgy, that's pretty normal. Famines are real.Shooting people for disagreeing with the State Sponsored Church is also pretty real.Really, the only part of the Imperium that is wrong is Black Templars blowing up the FTL drives on their own ships and then blowing up Imperial facotors on the planet they are now stuck on.I mean, what's your definition of edgy? Anything bad happening ever?
>>96511523They're too 'good', and they have no actual reason to exist or persist. They have no major goal aside from 'surviving' so their rare victories mean nothing. They don't take territory, they don't have lasting impacts, they just show up, spout cryptic nonsense, then either get slaughtered or disappear back into the Webway. Their gods are dead, so there's no angle to push there, they have no niche given Necrons are more advanced and the Imperium and Chaos have better psykers, and as far as 'elves in space' go DEldar are far more fitting and appealing.The reason Eldar don't get books isn't because of some vendetta by GW against them, it's because Eldar are fucking boring and hardly fit into 40k to begin with. You could remove them from the setting, just say Slaanesh ate them all and every craftworld spontaneously blew up, and there would be literally no significant impact on the setting or narrative.They're useless NPCs who have long overstayed their place.
>>96511594It did not escape my notice that all the male named Dark Eldar models have been retired and all the new Dark Eldar characters are female. (Drazhar is canonically a woman in current incarnation)
>>96511458Damn I actually really dig that tall hat
>>96511603>they just show up, spout cryptic nonsense, then either get slaughtered or disappear back into the Webway.this only describes their Dawn of War depictions tho
>>96511612>Drazhar is canonically a woman in current incarnationThat's not how that works. Drazhar is Drazhar is Arhra. It doesn't matter who puts on the armor; Arhra does not become them, they become Arhra.
>>96511603>spout cryptic nonsense, then either get slaughtered or disappear back into the Webway. >they have no actual reason to exist or persist.Sir this is wargame. The reason they exist and persist is so they can fight large battles on the tabletop, and just like either faction they either win or lose that battle, and nothing matters beyond that.>They're too goodLol
>>96511612>all the male named Dark Eldar modelsall 2 of them!
>>96511603> there would be literally no significant impact on the setting or narrativeImagine thinking this is more important than cool miniatures you can paint and play with. You're actually just a deranged secondary troll, should've figured that a long time ago I guess
>>96511637>Imagine thinking this is more important than cool miniatures you can paint and play with.Counterpoint; Eldar models aren't cool, and Eldar rules suck both to play as and play against.
>>96511641Wraith guard are cool. You are gay.
>>96511646Bowling pin heads.
>>96511649Dreadnoughts are just rectangular prisms? Do you hate Dreadnoughts too?
>>96511603>all this secondary babbleLmao. Eldar are not going anywhere, they've been part of the setting since forever. Cope, seethe and dilate, faggot.
>>96511603>They're too 'good', and they have no actual reason to exist or persist.They have committed terrible sins against every species in the galaxy and are trying and failing to atone for them out of sheer arrogance.>They have no major goal aside from 'surviving' so their rare victories mean nothing.The largest factions of them seek a return to their glories of old and the utter destruction of chaos and mending of the warp.>They don't take territory,Maiden worlds and Exodites worlds are their domains they constantly fight to reclaim and defend>they don't have lasting impactsYou mean like the creation of a chaos god and resurrecting a Primarch to put the Imperium into motion against their enemies?>They just show up, spout cryptic nonsense, then either get slaughtered or disappear back into the Webway.Their words are laced with the contempt they feel for themselves which their does can only interpret as contempt for others>Their gods are dead, so there's no angle to push thereThey have two living gods, and a freshly awakend god
>CEldar models aren't coolNah
>>96511586Nah, Bungie went full retard and is trying to appeal to Star Wars geeks as a last ditch effort to bring in money. I'm talking cutscenes ripping off the movies, lightsabers and blasters, and even enemies like a not-ATST.I know that there's at least one anon who spams his votann/Cabal proxies and wanted to gloat over him.
>>96511665>They have committed terrible sins against every species in the galaxyWhat did they do to the Tau and friends
>>96511665>>96511603>they have no niche given Necrons are more advanced and the Imperium and Chaos have better psykers>They have knowledge of the immaterium and the happenings of the galaxy that far outstrips either>and as far as 'elves in space' go DEldar are far more fitting and appealing.Fair, but DEldar mostly just add to the richness and diversity of the species>The reason Eldar don't get books isn't because of some vendetta by GW against them, it's because Eldar are fucking boring and hardly fit into 40k to begin with.It's because GW has a mandate not to outshine the Imperium and no one knows how to write them well>You could remove them from the setting, just say Slaanesh ate them all and every craftworld spontaneously blew up, and there would be literally no significant impact on the setting or narrative.Well for one that would cause the Rhana Dandra to start but even ignoring that the absent Webway would create a massive power vacuum >They're useless NPCs who have long overstayed their place.NPCs are the most memorable part of any roleplaying game and a setting or story needs a lot more supporting cast than main actors
>>96511669he's so proud for his little birdie
>>96511672Reject their offer for peace, give no explanation as to why and no attempt to inform them of their mistakes despite being far more reasonable than the Imperium that they do offer that grace to, and then eradicate Tau forces just trying to colonize and populate a vacant maiden world
>>96511458You guys know they remade a version of that hat in plastic just a couple years ago, right? It would be trivially easy to throw one on the new archon.
>>96511669Does the Crimson Hunter come with the plane or is he somebody's kitbash?
>>96511677>>96511669Eldar look like early power rangers villains.
>>96511689Those are all kitbashes from someone trying to use the new guardians to scale up the older aspects before the aspect refresh. The crimson hunter only officially exists as a plane.
>>96511672Corsairs and Dark Eldar have definitely raided Tau ships and colonies. Craftworlders have destroyed colonies attempting to settle on maiden worlds.
>Eldar look like early power rangers villains
>>96511603>They don't take territoryThis is just objectively wrong, maiden worlds exist and the CWE have booted the Imperium off of them many times.
>>96511695>>96511680What are we pro-squatters "rights" in this general.
>>96511672read
>>96511695Well if you let Dark Eldar into the mix then the Eldar race in aggregate are some of the most evil bastards in the universe just because of the weighted average. Craftworlds do horrible things in the name of former glories all the time too though, especially Biel-Tan
>>96511694Damn, that's impressive.
>>96511664>Eldar are not going anywhereA shame, that is.>>96511665Eldar don't want to atone for shit, they're arrogant asshats who think they should still be in charge.Their 'largest faction' got obliterates by a single daemonic incursion and is now a mockery of the very idea of Eldar 'revival' as a broken craftworld.Maiden Worlds and Exodite planets are nothing more than invasion fodder for other planets. Even the Votann laughably rolled over one.The Slaanesh connection is entirely one-sided, as Slaanesh has no actual ties to the Eldar now besides thinking they taste good. All of Slaanesh's followers are Human. Furthermore Yvraine being part of Guilliman's resurrection is easily handwaved out, and it would be more fitting if the Emperor did the deed (especially since he did it in Godblight)Eldar feel no contempt for themselves.Neither of theirbliving gods has done jack shit since the beginning of the setting.
>>96511729>Eldar don't want to atone for shit, they're arrogant asshats who think they should still be in chargeI thought they were too good for this game
>This battle force is only 620 points>The size of a combat patrol >3 of them wouldn't even make a complete army>For $240Hopefully Drukhari get some massive point bumps and buffed data sheets because they're starting to look like Sisters or GSC.
>>96511713Commorragh likely has a higher population than all the craftworlds combined, considering that most Dark Eldar aren't trueborn, and don't use sprit stones.
>>96511732'Good' from the standpoint they don't worship Chaos and attack everyone else on sight.
>>96511734Yeah, we wouldn't want a wargame to have an army on the tabletop. It should be giant centerpieces only.
>>96511740>'Good' from the standpoint they don't worship Chaos and attack everyone else on sightThe Imperium of man? You are describing the Imperium of man.
>>96511734it's a limited run to shift old models, who cares?
> CommorraghA liberals version of heaven
>>96511749>Imperium not attacking xenos on sight
>>96511756Yes the Imperium had been known to temporarily join forces with the Tau and certain Eldar.
Whole lotta eldarfags mad their most popular character is a primarch cocksleeve lmao
>>96511754>liberalDeldar are ancap, lorelet-kun.
>>96511754*libertarian
>>96511763Folks, where's the lie?
>>96511761Also Necrons and Blood Angels that one time.
>>96511763This bait is pathetic and demeaning to the board
>>96511594>good man, good structures for D&D or fantasyclosequar
>>96511761Only ever in the fave of Chaos or Nids, where the xenos are beneficial as meatshields.
>>96511761and Votann.
>>96511771Your leader sucks cocks on Ultramar.
I have three Word Bearers now. This latest one was my first time using micro set and micro sol, after I botched a transfer and decided to try harder.
>>96511777Aren't Votanns just renamed squats and therefore humans?
>>96511729>Eldar don't want to atone for shit, they're arrogant asshats who think they should still be in charge.So you admit they're not too good>Their 'largest faction' got obliterates by a single daemonic incursion and is now a mockery of the very idea of Eldar 'revival' as a broken craftworld.Ynnari are actually the smallest faction by a large margin >Maiden Worlds and Exodite planets are nothing more than invasion fodder for other planets. Even the Votann laughably rolled over one.Exodites are the civilians of the Eldar and serve the same purpose as the planetary guard getting butchered before the real faction shows up. Maiden worlds are unoccupied.>The Slaanesh connection is entirely one-sided, as Slaanesh has no actual ties to the Eldar now besides thinking they taste good.Slaanesh is utterly obsessed with the Eldar and devotes a ton of resources to finding their cities and raiding them. More than any imperial world. It's a two way street.>All of Slaanesh's followers are Human.False, many Xenos have given praise to slaanesh. The Laer blade is from a Xenos slaanesh cult.>Furthermore Yvraine being part of Guilliman's resurrection is easily handwaved out, and it would be more fitting if the Emperor did the deed (especially since he did it in Godblight)Except he didn't and the Emperor gives terrible head>Eldar feel no contempt for themselves.Individually, no. As a species you better believe it. There are multiple instances of it in multiple books.>Neither of their living gods has done jack shit since the beginning of the settingCegorach and his vessels have saved the Imperium twice and fucked with the Primarchs on multiple occasionsKhaine killed the first CTan and all that entails
>>96511779Very nice anon they are looking superb
The imperium is the epitome of>I don't need religion to dictate my morals>said morals shift all the time
>>96511780Yes, but not they are still not part of the imperium
>>96511779God damn I love painted models. Would play narrative games with you.
Why do all the Horus Heresy kits look better bros?
>>96511798Imperium is deeply fucking religious though??
>>96511805Why did you reply to that? You fucking animal.
>>96511780Votrans aren't humans, they're humanoid biorobots designed for deepspace exploration. They don't reproduce normally but are instead cloned from artificial templates with predetermined properties.They didn't have a Men of Iron rebellion because they were on the side of Men of Iron themselves.
>>96511809Sorry, it was a reflex. I vow to be better from now on...
>>96511813>VotransMental Illness.
Reminder that this is the climax of the only Eldar book series to ever be completed.
>>96511779>inb4 some faggot melts over painting with speedpaitns
I bet the Mechanicus would watch Zoids. Machine spirits are everywhere in that show.
>>96511838>reminderThis is the first Ive heard of it and now I'm upset.
>>96511839As long as you stay quiet that will never happen
>>96511839Better than having someone tell you to thin your paints. I exclusively use contrast these days, straight out of the pot.
>>96511839there is literally nothing wrong with speedpaints
>>96511734>a warhammer army costs $1500 dollars MSRPwow im so surprised no way how could this happen
>>96511846Yes, the Path of the Eldar books is one of three Eldar series but is the only one to actually be completed, as the other two were cancelled for poor sales.The Path books are unique in that they all tell the same story but from three perspectives, that story being how the largest and most populous craftworld in the galaxy was sacked and nearly destroyed by a force of no-name Marines who easily overpowered their defenses. This culminates into the Eldar literally begging for mercy saying they aren't worth the time and resources the Imperium would need to utilize un order to wipe them out completely.
Well I built an ork.
>>96511839 How dare you use speedpaints >:((((((((((((((((
>>96511601Growing babies just to turn them i to cyborgs and turning your criminals (or just anybody that happens to be on a forgeworld) into lobotomized cyborgs isn't edgy?
>>96511877why is he pregnant
>>96511865I'm not a big fan of them myself but if they work for others it's all good
>>96511872>as the other two were cancelled for poor sales.The Ynnari books were aborted because they were part of a plot to End Times 40k, and then GW backed out. No I haven't read them. (Why would anybody read Black Library trash?)
>>96511883Seems practical. I think the average shareholder would be happy to hear about that happening if robots weren't an option which they aren't.
>>96511872Thanks anon, now I don't have to read it
>>96511884I assume he eats the grots.
>>96511894>end times 40k>when its GW's most profitable IPYeah I doubt it.
>>96511872I liked the DEldar one...kindaWasn't a fan of the soul battle with a planet
>>96511911>hurr durrr... durr...That doesn't mean get rid of 40k, it means they were going to overhaul the setting. Ynnari were going to unite Craftworlders and Dark Eldar into a tighter model range, getting rid of the inconvenience of Slaanesh in the process (who disappeared from AoS for a time, if you'll recall). Primaris were the same thing for Marines.
>>96511894Nope. Gav specifically said the last Ynnari book was cancelled due to poor sales.
>>96511838>the only Eldar book series to ever be completedPath of the Dark Eldar is very finished and way better
>>96511916The Dark Eldar series is separate and notable for actually being good.
>>96511729>the anti-eldar fag is a stupid nigger tooNot shocked. The jester guy is like the second most active anti-chaos actor in the galaxy.
>>96511934>Gav specifically saidWho is Gav? Why do we think he always tells the truth? Is he some magical entity
>>96511933NTA, but it meant getting rid of getting rid of fantasy. So when you say "the end times for 40k", people are going to assume the same.
>>96511941>>96511939>>96511916It's a crime those books have been out of print for like a decade now and never got an audiobook. The modern Dark Eldar books are total trash.
>>96511872>three perspectivesThe first of which was a whiny incel who got lost on the path of the warrior because he just couldn't get over being friend-zoned. What a way to start off your trilogy.
>>96511934Publishers don't schedule a 3-part book series and then cancel it two books in.
>>96511957they do if they are marketed towards the fickle eldari fanbase (who don't buy anything)
>>96511943Gav Thorpe, the author of the books?
>>96511963you really should stop posting when you're off your medicine
>>96511939Dark Eldar was separate.You had>Path of the Eldar (Completed)>The Phoenix Lords (Ended after two books)>Ynnari (Ended after two books)
>>96511967Is he a magical entity that can only tell truths or is just some normal guy.
>>96511963For the publishing section of GW, there is no such thing as a "Eldar fanbase." BL books are advertising; they'll push books out even with weak sales, because they cost peanuts to produce. The Ynnari trilogy was cancelled because GW did a last-minute reversal. Look at the Corsair Kill Team- notice how they don't look like past Corsairs; they look like a hybrid of Craftworlders and Dark Eldar.
>>96511967the last chancers omnibus is a fun set of books
>>96511967Hmmm... I wonder if was under some kind of non-disclosure act regarding planned setting-overhaul events?
>>96511963>continually produce insulting, mediocre novels>the don't sell well>"man, I guess it's because Eldar players just don't want books!"Put somebody who seems to genuinely respect and enjoy the Eldar in charge of writing a book and I'll buy it
>>96511983addendum: how many copies did this sell? They'll produce it anyways, because it's basically a non-expense.
>>96511975Neither, honestly
>jump packs were recasts and I didn't know>absolutely crumbled into dust after a few days in IPArip
>>96511995do the High Elves in Warhammer Fantasy have any good novels? actually does Warhammer Fantasy have any good novels besides Gotrek and Felix.
>>96510654>>96510672Did the Destinyfags win or lose?
>>96512012The Malus Darkblade books, I think?
>>96512012There are the Tyrion and Teclis books, but I haven't read them.
>>96511963From a business perspective, especially a publisher like BL, who are producing an IP advertisement, it is *much* worse to leave a trilogy unfinished than to go ahead and publish the third book. Sales had nothing to do with it.
Any novels written from the perspective of a genestealer cult.
>>96510981I've also always wondered why the Hive Mind doesn't reproduce, say, a genestealer hybrid magus, from template, purely for the purpose of fast-tracking it's genestealer program. A larger cultist population in the galaxy would be beneficial to the hive, a fleet-capable genestealer faction could very well be possible on the shittier side of the galaxy.
How much shit am I gonna get for using third party guard?Not gaming at warhammer stores mind you.Mini sauce is les grognards painted as a vostroyan
>>96512007Always give them a quick scratch to check the material.I'm sorry it happened though anon>>96512012The Genevive omnibus in a library when I was in my early teens is what got me into vampires and goth women in general. I just worked out it was 2006 when i found it and I'm going to kill myselfThey are pretty good though, Kim Newman is actually a decent writer.
>>96512036The lesbian grogs are pretty common guard stand-ins in my experience.So long as people can tell what they are, nobody will have an issue.
>>96512012whenever I try to read fantasy books I kinda end up falling back on other stuff, usually what the BL books are inspired by.

>>96512036Those were sculpted by Bob Naismith so they should be fine.
>>96512035New Genestealer lore says particularly compoteny broodminds aren't destroyed and are allowed to come with the hive fleet.No point in keeping a genestealer cult that under performs what their biomass would do if it were made into Tyranids.
>>96511370pretty neat, I might pick one up
>>96512036Paint them well and nobody will care.
>>96512039>>96512050>>96512075Thanks guys! I’ll give it a go then!
>>96511735nope, more CWE than DE, that's been stated in codices over and over
>>96511628>Sir this is wargame.And most of the people are one way or another play/collect it because of the setting and lore. Deal with it
>>96511370how much work would it be to put shadowheart's head on the archon model?
>>96512122Barely any? Headswaps are easy
>>96512122As much effort as it would take to gape an asshole? So, not very.
>>96512120I don't see how that's relavant to what I said.
>>96512036go for it
>>96511782>before the real faction shows up.And get's butchered by local marines company>Slaanesh is utterly obsessed with the Eldar and devotes a ton of resources to finding their cities and raiding them. More than any imperial world. It's a two way street.It's not since Eldar literally cannot stop Slaanesh or it's forces from killing them at every occasion.>Xenos have given praise to slaanesh.And Laeran is the only relevant one due to the fact they were killed by Fulgrim.>Cegorach and his vessels have saved the Imperium twice Nope>and fucked with the Primarchs on multiple occasionsDude, clowns jopbbed to a watch captain. Primarchs are beyond their level.>Khaine killed the first CTan and all that entailsYeah and..? (picrelated)
>>96511967Gave Thorpe, guy who fucked up an entire series so badly GW had to tell him to fuck off? That's your appeal to authority?
>>96512120Most people play/collect because they like the models you dumb fuck, only secondaries like yourself care about lore first
>>96511782>Khaine killed the first CTan and all that entailsSource? Who did he kill and what exactly did that entail?
>>96511782>>96512179I google it. What the fuck. Fucking LMAO, Eldar really can't catch a break.
>>96512141Most of the people who collects and play 40k are one way or another invested into the setting. Very few buys it for the sake of brilliant miniatures. And Eldar are just generic sci-fi guys in sleek suits, a niche which other studios fills with much better product.
>>96512179I looked it up after he said it.Khaine fought the Nightbringer and barely won, which didn't matter since the Nightbringer just jumped into a different Necrodermis body afterwards after his old one blew up and gave Khaine cancer.
>>96512165>Most people play/collect because they like the models you dumb fuck, only secondaries like yourself care about lore first
>>96512189>Eldar win, but actually loseIt's funny every time.
>>96512200The guy who throws autistic temper tantrums about eldar trying to throw any shade at all is pathetic.
>>96512191...and Guards are just the most generic sci-fi dudes or sometimes just historical dudes who are also done better by other companies.
>>96512200why not just post a basedjak at this point
>>96512219And this is why Guards are less popular than marines. Thanks for your contribution.
>>96512191>Very few buys it for the sake of brilliant miniatures
>>96512217>utistic temper tantrums about eldarDude, this: >>96512120 was my first post in discussion about wargames and why people keep buying plastic crack.
>>96512237Even if you buckbroken purist, who avoids video games, ttrpg, novels etc you cannot play 40k without a Codex and Rulebook, both of which contains lore sections.
>>96512242don't bother, there's a dude here very convinced that nobody actually dislikes the eldar and it's all one shitposter spamming for decades>>96512251trying way too hard
Insider here,In 11E, there will be a story about how Lhykhis will find Corvus brooding and depressed in the Warp after he loses track of Lorgar, and she'll immediately fall in love with him and convince him to come back into realspace and be a hero again.GW will even release an animated cinematic for it with My Chemical Romance in the background as they emerge into a big battle holding each other in their arms.
>>96512233You're right we should delete all the armies less popular than the Marines
>>96512256Tom Kirby go and stay go
>>96512165I do it so I can wright little stories about my guys. I ignore the losses of course.
>>96512255If he releases as a crow demon, I will buy that model in a heartbeat
>>96512253>trying way too hardlolwut?>>96512256Either that or start working on unpopular armies like Eldar. Tau was second most unpopular army prior to 6th edition
>>96512154Some fag asked who "Gav" is, I answered. Why are you upset about that?
>>96512134>>96512138okay, dumb question I guess.here's a real one, what is the scale of 40k or AoS to, say, Kingdom Death?If I had some spare character heads and hair from a kd:m kit, could I headswap it onto something like a sororitas or the genestealer magus, or would the scale be off?I collect tyranids so I don't really know how human models stack up to kd:m.
>>96512291no they're completely different, KD:M minis are much bigger than 40k minis
>>96512313roll a d6, on a 3+ you GOON
>>96512255Jesus christ you’ve been day dreaming this idea for months haven’t you?
>>96512322not everybody's as pathetic as you
>>96512255the least believable part of this post is GW paying money to license music
>>96512322Like five minutes, actually. Need to make Lhykhis important somehow.
>>96510971You can't gaslight this way. 6th and 7th editions were so bad and universally hated they almost killed 40k as a game. As in literally stores across the globe dropping GW products while other games were able to flourish and thrive. 8th edition objectively saved the game from death.
>>96510599RUINED CITIES AND IT AINT CLOSE
This anti eldar wank is boring get some new stuff guys, you cry about the same thing every 2 threads
>>96512361We should cry about Votann instead.
>>96512255Insider here.Gw will release more marines. You guys believe me right?
>>96512189Eldar literally can't have a single fucking win at any point lmao
Remindar that the star child has been born already. I wonder in what planet happened.
Just refunded space marine 2 because it’s ass, what kit should I buy with that money instead.
>>96512313You're talking about "painters scale", regular KDM minis are about marine sized
>>96512390...is that some kind of GFL AK girls mod for Fallout 4?
>>96512375I still believe the greatest "fuck you" to Eldar was an Avatar being infected by genestealers
>>96512386He's currently occupied with a 'diplomatic' mission with some Farseer ladies in Ulthwe.
>>96512367The proportions of that enemy give me uncomfortable flashbacks to fighting against pic.

>>96510971This is why I'm skeptical of people who shit on 10th. I've been aware of the hobby for about 15 years and the whole time I've seen post after post about how whatever model/rule/edition is the worst thing ever and GW just lost a customer and this is the end of 40k etc. I just tune it out.
>>96512447you already told us you're dogshit at a solid shooter, no need to restate
>>96512449
>>96512457>I was here for 15 years but I'm such a blind retard I missed that time GW almost went bankrupt because two whole editions ate assCool. You should really be embarrassed by that story

>>96512189>>96512179>>96512194We have been over this. The Death of Light is a human translation of Aeldari myth cycles. The Imperial annotation even says that it's unknown how much of it is literal and how much is allegory.Taking it on face value is stupid, you stupuids
>>96512498fuck off /u/shaskais
>>96512503No.You stupido
>>96512503meds
Considering how cheap and easy they are to produce, why doesn't GW just sell transfer sheets for every faction that they've made relevant symbols for? Literally just print a sheet and package it. I see no reason why there shouldn't be transfers you can just buy separately without having to get an upgrade kit. They already do this for HH. Why not 40k?

>>96512570Its shit.
>>96512615chaos demons has more detachments than some armies with a codex you dumbass.
>>96512626Yeah but mono legions only really have one to work with if you only wanted to work with a single deity. So its not really the same.
>>96510615Why does the Lieutenant in Phobos Armor have a combi-melta but his datasheet is just a bolt rifle?

Is there a source on how Emperor cults within the Tau Empire function? How do they sell it without coming off as supremacists?
>>96512675you literally have a detachment for chaos undivided and all the mono gods. asking for 12 detachments is nuts.

>>96512881Necrons are prime
>>96512386>>96512480What's going on, why is there a glowing shota?
>>96512910It's Star Child, the Emperor reborn as a full-on God.
>>96512848>ImperiumAye fair enough they have the most detailed lore and are clearly the main guys.>Chaos>Five (5) books of the imperiums sloppy seconds.Lol
>>96512910The original story is from a novel the kid is a living saint or possessed by the emperor it's not explained which one but in the novel he can make demons flee in terror with holy light etc he ends dying I thinkBut people liked the kid so in fan art it kinda went from being that novel's kid into the main fanbase image of the star child since GW reintroduced and confirmed the start child is canon again
>>96512899Build literally any marine model and add slightly more bling than typical. Done.Just like the old days.
>>96512910You don't know the Star Child?
>star child This is the most retarded fucking phrase
>>96511565Sauce?
>The Star child is canonNonsense the Emperor is on the fucking throne. Why do authors think they have the right to change something so integral
>>96512985its probably older than you are
>>96512899There’s not really a good substitute gameplay-wise, if you can’t find the model anywhere you can just obtain a Phobos kit, put him on a 40mm base, and make him fancy and call him a lieutenant.
>>96512985Go complain to gw
>>96512985It's probably influenced by the ending of 2001, wherein our guy touches the monolith and in so doing, is reborn as a god-like being with the power to elevate an entire species to a higher level of intelligence.
>>96512930>>Chaos>>Five (5) books of the imperiums sloppy seconds.>says he while the only relevant faction of Eldar oliterally led by Bobby's sloppy second
>>96512987The last HH novel had the emperor take the nice part of his soul filled with goodness etc and throw it away so he could face Horus without remorse. And this edition GW pretty much confirmed the star child is canon and bound to be born any time now.>Why do authors think they have the right to change something so integralThe star child thing is older than half the thread m8
>>96513011...so is the Golden Throne. If seniority is the deciding factor, tell me which is older the Throne or the nonsense
>>96513011>emperor take the nice part of his soul filled with goodness etc>creates intergalactic north korea while still having this part of his soul
>>96513024Star child concept is from 1989
>>96513008You sure do seem to be obsessed with the Ynnari. They are probably the second least relavant faction of Eldar out of the six. Consider Crawfworlders, Dark, Harlequins, and Corsairs have all featured in the game the books are made to advertise.
>>96510661Anyone know how the technique to achieve that basic dark gravel on the base?
>>96513031That's not the answer to my question. I'll help though. The Golden Throne is from 1987 and has seniority over the Star Child.
>>96513060I'm just saying it's not from 2012. Who cares about seniority. The fact is that is not something new and gw made it canon again.
Iron sharpens iron boys, lets keep that in mind.
>>96510915>That time the Hivemind got pissed at the Blood Angels>That time the Hivemind got mad at one Eldar in particularI still like the idea that the Hivemind learned to hate only after arriving in the Milky Way
>>96513064You do? I thought that's why you mentioned it being old?GW writers shouldn't feel at liberty to touch the Golden Throne no matter how old their bad ideas are.
>>96513074No the Hive Mind shouldn't be fuck Hordak from He-man, at all.
>lorefags
>You care about what those guys are on the tabletop are>No they are just numbers to be sifted through for the optimal playstyle.
>>96513035>Crawfworlders, Dark, Harlequins, and Corsairs>relavantPick one
>>96513108Without the lore why would you be interested in game/setting at all in the first place you spamming freak?
So outside of hive worlds and forge worlds are most imperium worlds just kind of normal? I envision them as being sort of shitty, but only in the way actual human history tended to be. Some worlds have very little tech and are basically like feudalism, some are just kind of poor. Some are probably pretty great, like Ultramar, but those are a minority. Even with all the shit going doing, a million worlds is a....lot. The vast majority can't be under threat all the time. And the million number just seems like a big number the GW picked to represent "a fuck ton, infinite for all intents and purposes"
>>96513122>>96513108This, I don't get it. People enjoy Warhammer 40k for the lore, getting to paint models and take care in how they are done, and the social element. Mechanically it is not a particularly good game.
>>96513108Nice face reveal
>>96513108>How dare you care about the story of your toys
>>96513117Anon this is Warhammer 40k General a general dedicated to the Tabletop Wargame Warhammer 40k. Warhammer 40k is a game put out by a company called Games Workshop. This company has a website where you can buy products related to Warhammer 40k the tabletop wargame. Several products relate to the factions you called irrelevant, no products relate to this Ynnari faction you insist is relavant. It's borderline off topic.
I didn't spend hours perfectly painting the standards on my dolls with correct details because I don't care about the lore
>>96513074>>96510915that's fucking lame
>>96513140Post your dolls anon. The dolls this general is all about. You aren't just some offtopic shit poster are you?
>>96513125I would imagine most worlds are shitty in the Russia sort of way. Like...they're poor, they've got some petty despot in charge, but they're not straight up North Korea. So long as you pay your taxes then you get to live in a poverty stricken depressing shithole that contributes very little to the Imperium.
Would you accept this as a proxy for sponsons on a Leman Russ?
>>96512647sorry you're right, it is a combi flamer, been playing too much SM2my point stands though, not that it matters I guess, every combi weapon in 10th is just a bolter with a couple extra keywords
>>96513137>It's borderline off topic.AHAHAHAHAHA!Go back to the fucking Reddit, subhuman.
>>96513149Yeah, and it's not that bad unless you draw the short end of the stick and get attacked by chaos or xenos or your lord is one of those religious types.
>>96513152yeah sure, but also just 3D print some or get someone to print them for you. there are sculpts out there specifically for the heresy one
>>96513155ESL
>>96513125No>Shrine WorldsHive Worlds but smaller and more filled with religious paranoia and dogma. You will worship with back-breaking zeal or they will forcefully break your back.>Agri WorldsAgricultural hellscapes optomized for maximum output. You were born a slave and will die a slave, likely at a young age due to the chemically 'enriched' atmosphere. Don't worry, when you die they'll turn you into fertilizer.>Knight WorldsYou're a medieval peasant who grows food for thr local lord so he can make his monthly payments to the men in red robes who maintain his holy divine colossal god machine. If you do not view the sacred machine with adequate reverence you will be drawn and quartered to make an example.>Death WorldThe planet wants to kill you. If it doesn't, you're getting sent to the worst shitholes in the galaxy.
>>96513161Wannabe janny
>>96513137>>96513155Both of you post models with timestamp or kill yourselves
>>96513169You just killed two people anon, you’re basically worse than DeCarlos
>>96513146
>>96513181nice try
>>96513157Pretty much. The really bad part about the Civilized Worlds isn't that they're particularly dystopian, but rather...they're basically contributing fuck-all to the Imperium. Forge Worlds have factories to pump out 'simple' weapons like Lasguns and Leman Russ tanks, they are the heart of the Imperial Guard and there's about 32,000 of them which is why the Guard is so fucking big. Forge Worlds are far fewer, listed as being merely 'hundreds' though no specific number is given. But they produce the rare shit like Titans and spaceships that the Imperium needs.Feral worlds and death worlds aren't particularly useful resource wise, but they can be good for producing specialist regiments or getting recruits for a Space Marine chapter.But Civilized Worlds are kinda in the middle of being mostly useless.
>>96513159>there are sculpts out there specifically for the heresy oneTrue With some cutting you can also put a regular Leman Russ sponson on the side instead.
>>96513181Dude…very sweet my man
When it comes to lore I am a hardcore imperiumfag and even want them to win even more regardless of how grimdark it is but I only paint chaos armies because their models are less boring
>>96513181>no timestampWorthless
>>96513191Oof I got baited
>>96513122lorefaggotry is on the same level as discussing the video games and has no place here
Got gifted some old assembled marine models. never knew they were so tiny.
>>96513169How about no, thread nanny?
>>96513181>>96513191These are the people you will find yourself bickering with if you respond to the bait here
write more undivided chaos legions who are actually pro chaos but aren't word bearers
>>96513193I assume that collectively they are contributing a lot of resources to the imperium, it's just far less concentrated than something like a forge world. Managing a bunch of forge worlds is probably pretty difficult for the imperium, scaling it would be hard to implement
>>96513209Hey man I post models as much as the next guy but I love the lore discussions, I learn quite a bit.
>>96513215>>96513181These are the same people

>>96513248Same type of talk as the spammer, makes sense.
>>96513249You're the only spammer here decalmutant We've seen you get banned and hundreds of posts disappear in an instant several times
>>96513125Worlds are brought into categories.Hive World, Forge World, Agri World, Civilized World, Feudal World and Feral World, and a few other far rarer categories.You already know about the first two so...Agri Worlds are memed by the fan base to be idealic farm worlds where you live like modern farmers do, an idealic portrayal of the simple life, life Stardew Valley. This is almost always false, Agriworlds are roamed by servitors and slaves and are almost always just as bad as Forge Worlds just with a skyline of nature instead of metropolitan sprawl. You will live in a small hab block exactly like your average Forgeworld.Civilized worlds are any planet that has central government and is industrialized but not specialized enough to be a Forge or Agriworld and not over populated enough to collapse into a Hive World. The common conception of these in the fan base is it's just like modern Earth, but this again is too kind. The aggregate experience is planet sized USSRs of verying technology levels, if they deviate they are far more likely to be planet sized North Koreas than Russias. A very slim minority have relatively liberal central governments and do compared to modern Western countries. Civilized Worlds are by far the most common type of planet in the Imperium.Feudal worlds, are planets that are incapable of creatung a centralized government do to their lack of technology, but they are stable enough for the Inperium to deal with local nobles and make them pay the tithe Feral worlds are Imperial in name only, or only have a facility or two on them. The people of the world are not advanced enough to form a stable wnough government for the Imperium to consistently extract value from.Of all the types of world in the Imperium a civilized worlds are the most common, but most of the population of the Imperium lives in Hive Worlds.

>>96513285>lamenterfag
>>96513278>>96513279ok I don't really care too much either way I was just wondering about the name since I've never heard someone making fun of using decals before
>>96513272I said North Koreas were the exception. Anyway, perhaps you need reminding that the Empire is "the cruelest most bloody regime imaginable" if it had a bunch of nice Planet sized Swedens it wouldn't be described like that now would it?
>>96513282too little too late anon, people like you who use that terminology have been completely flooded out by tourists and newfags
>>96513290nobody cares if you use decalsif you COVER your models in them to the point they look like tacky NASCARS and then spam down the thread when somebody tells you to use less of them people will make fun of you for a year straight like what's happened to this redditor
>>96513290You got any models or lore tidbits to contribute then?
>>96513294The sheer size of the imperium basically guarantees that it does. Ultramar alone is like 500 planets what really doesn't make sense is how none of these planets have done full tech singularity or whatever given that the imperium has no ability to police them all
>>96512873I think they are fine. As always GW bright Retributor Gold scheme nakes them look woese than they really are.
>>96513290He literally put the copyright info from the decal sheet on his models lmao
My headcanon is that this is what the Vorgh Auxillaries look like
>>96513298There was that one book where an imperial fist talked about "the fart of a leviathan" while boarding a Tyranid ship
>>96513297>exaggerated thread lore Yawn
>>96513125there are a ton of worlds and a good number that are probably pretty alright by our standards, but none of those matter or show up in the setting until they're about to get stomped by nids/orks/chaos etc
>>96513289>touristkun
>>96513319>Exaggerated Tourist
>>96513320there are several through the Eisenhorn series that show up, one is depicted with a cyberpunk Venice with lots of merchants coming and going and sounds pretty alright to live on.
>>96513319>exaggerated
>>96513285have a funny visual from the last game i played
>>96513305A bunch as in a lot. If you poured a gallon of red food dye into a dish that is a lot of food dye. If you poured a gallon of red food dye into the ocean that is not a lot of food dye. There aren't "a lot" of planet sized swedens compared to the total amount of planets in the Imperium.There could be hundreds or even thousands of planet sized swedens and it that would be only a few compared to the enormity of the Imperium.
>>96513343>edited photoLook at my evidence!!!!
>>96513344You play against that bear guy a lot eh anon?
>>96513343Where is her Queen of Spades tattoo?
>>96513343>tfw seeing into one of these images ignorant of the thread lore context just made me think that I should make more use of the pile of decals I have lying around
>>96513349Why don't you show us the real tank with timestamps and prove that it's not covered in decals
>>96513362Why are you so desperate for a timestamp you weirdo freak?
>>96513366Why are you incapable of producing one
>decalfag has several painted armies and plays games>this upsets the general
>>96513369samefag less
>>96513369They are so desperate to see my leave its so fucking weird
>>96513350a few times now yeah he always kicks my ass
>>96513369I don't think he does given we've never seen a timestamp. They're probably all his brothers models which is why he never applies the feedback he asks for. He can't really ask his brother to paint his own miniatures better
>>96513377It looks so cool so who cares lol
>>96513369he doesn't play games, he stages photos and makes up vague single post battle reports that don't track with how the game actually plays
>>96513382>Schizo shit
>>96513382This is the most viable theory I've seen yet
>>96513388Lash out less obviously decalmutt
>>96513382>>96513389This is obviously a desperate attempt to get a timestamp by what is the point? What would that even prove? That’s why I find it so odd that they want it so badly…
>>96513372This artist refuses to get better
>new imperial fist detachment is 1st company but slightly less shitterminators suck, what was gw thinking?
>>96513400Because it proves that you aren't a nomodel faggot just shitstirring with someone else's shitty models
>>96513382Oh wow yeah, I can see that
>>96513405I can assure you they are my “shitty” models.
>>96513412No they aren't lol
>>96513412Actually no you can't, because you can't provide them timestamped so it could be anyones slop
>>96513414Hypothetically if I posted a time stamp and proved they are mine what would you say?
>>96513412Its time to prove the haters wrong
>>96513402Terminators are based actually
>>96513382>it's taken us this long to come to this conclusionI'm disappointed in myself and all of us for not recognizing the outcries of the nomodels when I saw them
>>96513425They are but they kind of suck right now
>>96513422>FED
>>96513305>what really doesn't make sense is how none of these planets have done full tech singularity or whateverWhat the fuck are you talking about?>given that the imperium has no ability to police them allThe Imperium does police all planets, though. Not every day, not every month, perhaps not even every year, but the Imperium checks on all its not feral/death worlds regularly. Somebody has to collect the tithe after all. If you are building some dark age of technology, a weapon of mass destruction to liberate yourself from the Imperium. That's not exactly easy to hide. EVEN if you managed to get every local authority to not turn you in.
>>96513422Probably something about flies
>>96513436I see so no need to waste my time
>>96513439You can't do it lmaoWhat a weak little faggot you are
>>96513441Request a picture of a specific model from an absurd angel and I will produce it. That shouldn’t upset you right?
So the decalmutt has been a nomodels nogames this entire time? Thats upsetting
>>96513448Post it with a piece of paper with the time written on it or kill yourself immediately
>>96513439>he has nomodelsGrim
>>96513449we all knew
>>96513449> low quality baitWhew…
>>96513343I-is that him?
>>96513448Do the fucking timestamp properly or you're a liar, and a tourist bitch
>>96513448This would actually prove it but they ignored it completely, how odd.
>>96513459Unfortunately
>>96513459Its an edited photo just in case your not trolling
>>96513425>only usable terminators besides wolf termies and dwk are Assault terminators with shields>have shit damage output, less survivable than dwk or wolfguard>kit is old and needs an update badlythey also need a leader, lysander + 5 terminators with hammers is 280 points to do a worse job than DWK do, who put out triple the damage and also survive a little betterTerminators are a fucking cool model that sucks
>>96513473LC are better than shield hammer assaults
>>96513462Actually it wouldn't because you could just walk up to someone and say I want to see your model, snap a pic, and walk away, it's another thing to write out a timestamp and take the pic and post it fast enough to not get accused of editing it all with someone else's models
>>96513448>>96513462So the model can be at any angle really but the piece of paper should have the part with the time and date visible.
>>96513471No it isn't, you can't prove otherwise>>96513449It's not news to anyone
>>96513477Doing that just for him to say “oh well they’re still ugly models” is not worth it sadly.
>>96513483I have the original photo you idiot
>>96513484You make excuses because you're incapable of producing a timestamp because you're a limpdicked little redditor with no prospects in life
>>96513484Why do you care what someone thinks of someone else's models. It's not like they're yours
>>96513487You edited it out after we made fun of you for it
>>96513382>it's realLmfao no fucking way dude, that's too funny
>>96513476>3 woundsnot in this current field of 3 damage weapons
So we can just ignore his posts from now on, right /40kg/? We've established he's a shitstirring tourist, do we need to respond to him ever again now that we know?
>>96513500People will continue to fall for the bait
I'm slopping my entire army and no one can stop me
>>96513500You know what maybe its better that the crazies think this and ignore me so Incan continue to post unfettered by their mental illnesses.
>>96513505No you aren't, you have no miniatures and will fail to provide evidence showing otherwise
>>96513507You need to kill yourself nomodels
>>96513508Just to be clear that is not me
>>96513507Your opinion isn't needed nomodels
>>96513511I post thousands of pts of models regularly and you can’t prove otherwise
>>96513513And who the fuck are you exactly and why would you assume everyone is only ever talking about you
>>96513519None of them are yours, you stole photos from a redditor
>>96513519Thousands of points of other people's models are worthless particularly when they aren't nice to look at
>>96513524Sorry I am being harassed by psychopaths and Im not thinking clearly just ignore me.
>>96513532>just ignore meIt's be proven by your past actions that you don't react well to that.
>>96513519Juliette Michelle is current sitting on my face right now and typing my words via interpreting the vibrations of my voice traveling through her cooch. She's also a crystal brush winning painter, and has 45,000 points of dreadnoughts painted in pure nmm, and is the one who taught Roman Lapatt and Richard Gray how to paint
>>96513551Boomers are up this late?
>>96513285Best ass in the imperium
N
>>96510615>losersChaos Mono god Players thinking they could use all their shiny vehicles. Each of them had a vehicle or four that was excluded, and thus purchases lost as a result. Losing actual models and not even allowed as a "legends" possibility is a new low for GW.I chatted with a guy on twitch for 2 hours on how he lost over 900 dollars in models because he played emperors children. And now he has to buy 30 more marines to be able to play 2000 points again. A severe slap in the face.He said he might wait it out and see if they will return his investment as legends, and if they won't then he's going to quit.
I was going to post my models but now that I've seen the absolute state of this thread and its fishwife drama, I don't think I will.
I swear to god Strawberry Watermelon Mio is a godsend
>>96513596You should post them anyways
>>96513604Fantastic model really love the red
GW doesn't sell any official models I can use as cultists any shorter than this; right?>flagellants
Do you guys think a tournament would get pissed off if I brought a Phaeton pattern Predator?
>>96513611No, GW has said you can use HH vehicles as their 40k equivalents just fine
>>96513609how are the necromunda models?
>>96513668as tall as primaris in some cases
>>96513609Why do you want your cultists to be short
>>96513605Thanks anon, me too. I'm really happy with how he turned out
>>96513682to be properly sized next to marineshumans are short compared to marines, and if I'm not facing imperial guard then it'll look cool
>>96513708cultists are short compared to primaris marines
>>96513727I am cool with the fact primaris marines are taller than chaos marines. I rather have the cool model range instead of primaris newshit to be funneled into.This is my chance to make my marines look like they're big, because all marines are huge compared to humans.
>>96513609Lotr dwarves?
Is playing Tyranids with mostly big models viable?
>>96513747the hell are you even talking about
>>96513753the beards are a bit much to try and justify I think
>>96513758In lore, humans are shorter than all marines by a fair margin. I am trying to get official models, and with the wide range GW has I'm poking around at the shortest human models they have.
>>96513759But having your guys be two heads shorter than everyone else's humans isn't?
>>96513762humans are all around 5'10-6'2the models are in scale against 7-8 foot tall marines/primaris
>>96513747Primaris Marines are cool as fuck.
>>96513775This but unironically
>>96513747the cultist is meant to be roughly 6ft, the primaris is 8ftby scale it looks right
I'm debating getting back into 40k after abandoning it post 7th edition. Heard the Templars got a codex again, are they shit?
>>96513775Justify to me the primaris marines being chaos marines.>my opening post was about being chaos and cultists
>>96513285SEX WITH BUGS
>>96513783So the flagellents are probably the best bet for my cultists.
>>96513784Templars are new enough we don't know yet. Supposedly broken with a certain list type. They kick berzerkers around now.
>>96513795If the height is the only thing that matters then sure. I'm sure there's tonnes of options close to that size if yiu keep looking.
>>96513792Brainjob
>>96513799Doing khornate cultists and I might replace the hands with knife hands. Heads with helmets.
>>96513798We know. Templars are very good but need gladius or else they are shit. They had plenty of top 3 GT placings since release. They do struggle with EC who might be getting w comeback.>>96513784Templars are a safe choice in terms of meta but always choose based on models.
>>96513775Mk X is fine except for the helmets, power packs, breastplates, fucked tabards, vambraces, tassets, poleyns, schynbalds, ankle roundels, and sabotons.
>>96513820all of those look better than everything on MKVII
>>96513820I feel like you made up half those words
>>96513828no he just misspelled a lot of them because he's a poser
>>96511734there a lot of cool models in it, contrary to the other battle forceI will buy it, probably the last box I will ever buy from GW if they refresh them next edition, unless they release 40k classic
>>96513285
>>96513841This what custodes look like during my wet dreams
>>96513820Oh I forgot the cuisses.>>96513825Actually no; Mk X is supposed to be a new and improved armor mark, but having reinforcements on the breastplate, cuisses, and having schynbalds instead of enclosed greaves means that the armor has a look of desperation engineering; those elements harken back to Mark III, which was a stopgap armor meant for boarding actions and was up armored in the front and not the back. What this says about MkX is basically that it's half finished.
>>96513835I lost all interest in Dark Eldar when they became a giga horde army. Even Necrons are mid to low count. Dark Eldar being a horde sucks.
>>96513832I misspelled rondel. That's like an eighth at best.
>>96513847it fits with the theme of the setting of the "improvements" being nominal and hackneyed because technology is decliningmaybe you should read up on the setting instead of expecting everything to be super advanced and clean :)
>>96513852and sabatons
primaris mk 2 would be cool
>>96513792>I will enter your psyche and give you an indescribable pleasure beyond all description.
>>96513792>Draw female human curves>Put on bug head, gloves and shoes
>>96513858Cawlmarines bucked that trend of being nominal and hackneyed though; they're faster, stronger, twice as deadly and twice as hardy as standard pattern Astartes and have brand new gear that's much better.
>>96513866>makes you cum hands free>both your hands and her hands free
>>96513870it's not much better though, it's effectively the same as the old gear and it took him 10k years to barely improve on anything, very inline with the setting :)
>>96513869>>Put on bug head, gloves and shoesI would marry this woman if she was real, but alas I am left with art of bug ladies
>>96513708>to be properly sized next to marinesThey already are properly sized save maybe SoB
>>96513869she's sexier with her own curves
>>96513869Other than the tits that's just how neurolictors look.
>>96513798good to know, thank you>>96513818I still have most of a crusade kicking around in my closet, I have a few hundred of them. And they all look like shit, it was my second army I'd tried painting at the time. Not looking forward to replacing them if I get back into it desu
>>96513866>enters psyche>feeds you mental images of nude men>psychically stimulates pleasure centers while toying with your assHaha oh no the sexy bug girl made me gay aha
>>96513887>Psyker magically makes you gay to receive the pleasure of physically straightening you out again
>>96513849Thanks god I dont play the current edition, i stopped doing so when they added mana and cards
>>96513895What are you even talking about rn, there's been cards since the beginning
Tau shouldn't kill psykers, this is dumb. Aren't they supposed to be the grounded and practical military? Do you think the IJA would refuse wizards in their forces.
>>96513904A time traveler from 1994 wrote that post.
>>96513874Y'know what, you got me. I can't find anything in the codices I have that says unequivocally that MkX armor is a vast improvement over earlier marks; it only mentions its modularity. And if we're gonna use stats as a determinator, then MkX doesn't afford a better save, they're still 3+. It was the other organs that gave them an extra wound and attack it would seem. Bolt rifles are stated to be utterly superior though, which is reflected in their stats, so those are a straight upgrade in every way.
Currently experimenting with color schemes. Doing cell washes, where you over-water the paint and dab it onto a section you can't really overpaint.
>>96512986eri kitami i believe
>>96513747isn't that an old Emprie fanatic, not a cultist?
>>96513994proxy for a cultist
>>96513950took him ten millennia to slightly improve on the weapons the emperor created in a few months
>>96514013the emperor didn't create them
>>96514031Yes he did, read MoM
>>96514032Bolters are DAoT tech, emps didn't create them.Anything saying that is just imperial propaganda.
>>96514032it was wrong then and it keeps being wrong nowHumans across the galaxy already had bolters from their STC, votann included
>>96514049>>96514053>erm ackshually I know more than the writers of the setting
>>96513783Firstborn are 7-8ft tall, primaris are 9-10ft.
>>96514058unironically, yes, absolutely let alone some blacked library writer who is not actually the "writers of the setting" either
>>96514064I accept your concession
>The codices aren't lore>The indicies aren't lore>The books aren't lore
>>96514058Anon, the very same writers created the votann, DAoT remnant civilization, who use bolters.Also in the HH books imperium comes into contact with few planets which had still functional STCs and they made bolter weapons and even power armor similiar to the marines.It's all just DAoT tech and always has been.
can you lorefags argue about something that matters for once?
>>96514068Lore is what I believe and decide.
>>96514032could you cite the actual quote
>>96514065Daring rhetoric Lets see if it convinces anon
>>96514058Writers aren't omniscient, my guy
Trying to get something more interesting for black armour than flat plain black panels, I did a drybrush then black contrast. The drybrush was too heavy in places, and the contrast didn't reach some raised areas as well as I'd hoped. Will go back in to darken down excessive blue areas. Still, I'm happy with the results for a first try at something new.
>>96514075Take your meds schizo
>>96514064>I'm an expert on the lore!*>*If you let me pick and choose and ignore any lore I don't actually know aboutwhy is this so common here lmao
New bread please.
>>96514105because you choose to interpret any discussion under that objective wrong lens
when we needed him the most... the throoder abandoned us.....
Heres the actual quote from MoM >The Emperor checked the ornate bolter at His hip. One of the very first boltguns; a progenitor for its kind – not a relic rediscovered from the Dark Age of Technology but an invention of the Emperor’s own designIt specifically says boltguns and not bolters ingeneral, so presumably the emperor could have invented the specific boltgun that the imperium would adopt.
New>>96514137>>96514137
>One of the very first botlguns>Not a relic from the dark age of technologyHow the fuck does this imply boltguns are from the dark age of technology. It almost explicitly says the opposite.
>>96514139the text was wrong in saying that, every other instance before or since have treated boltguns as daot stc
>>96514143Such as?
>>96511992>Hmmm... I wonder if was under some kind of non-disclosure act regarding planned setting-overhaul events?Probably just smart enough to know that you don't bite the hand that feeds
