are there steaks in this thread?
>>96559582Huh, that Commissar is a bit to bold to walk around zombies>looks at the faceIt's Caiphas Cain, isn't he?
>>96559595yeah
>>96559593Yes
>>96559582>post models
>>96559599>warcom writer hasn't read the book series they synopsising trash
In light of finding out just how fucking powerful Pulse Blasters are I now kinda wish the Astartes animation would've featured Space Marines against Tau Breacher Squads. I'd still expected the Space Marines to get favorable k/d ratios since they're space marines but they definitely would've taken some casualties at least and it would've forced them to slow down a lot since they would've been going up against weapons that absolutely could easily pierce their armor and in turn their own shots would be less guaranteed one-hit kills since they'd be shooting at shielded soldiers in carapace-tier armor. Still favors the Space Marines but at least they wouldn't just be able to ignore 99% of what was thrown at them.Plus everyone loves close-quarters combat.
>>96559605repost but just finished these today! the last models i have on backlog is a box of company heroes and i will no longer have any gray models !you guys look sick as hell. i can tell ur a really good painter
>>96559582>Thread Question>No TQ just post modelsDon't mind if I do
>>96559582okay
>>96559619meant for op>>96559582
>>96559619>i will no longer have any gray models !It's been a long time since I was able to feel this way. Congrats anon
>>96559582>TQshore
>>96559628it helps that i only have about 1400 pts total of plastic so it's pretty easy since im just starting out. you'll get there one day anon ! I keep to the philosophy of not buying a single new model until all my old ones are assembled and painted
can kill team terrain be used for 40k ? i have a box of chalnath i haven't put together yet
Guys, what have been the most son of a bitch acts of the Black Templars? For example, exterminating a planet just because its people were an inch taller than average.
>>96559635I think we all have that philosophy starting out. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed if you do end up with a bunch of grey. You got through this 1400pts you'll get through the next too as long as you're still having fun>>96559653Absolutely, in fact using it for 40k means you can just pitch the instructions and build what looks cool
>>96559633Do you have pics of your tonk o&tan on. It's one of my faves you've done
>have 3 armies that I could build and paint to a reasonable 2k points>Autism makes me want to build and paint the army that I only have 1 battleforce for simply because I decided on a cool color scheme.Fuck me.
>>96559665Killing a Custodes-Oh wait, that's a good thing.Big E Bootlickers dni.
>>96559665They've been known to kill most of the Longshanks on board Imperium vessels on the basis that they're vile mutants.

Newfag here and I am torn between Drukhari and Eldar. I feel drawn to Eldar but at the same time Drukhari is also calling me. Anons, what do i do?
>>96559592Tell me about these guys
>>96559745You could always buy both and run ynnari
>>96559620Do you have lore for your ◇ Lamenters? If its in the archive what would I search for?

>>96559745>Anons, what do i do?Don't pick NPCs
>>96559582>TQKitbash bros how are we going? Think im done, just need to paint the fuckin thing
>>96559713Lol did he post again? Ive noticed the thread has been a lot better since people started doing this
>>96559747They're just Word Bearers. The only notable thing is I only uses contrast and shade to paint them. I guess also painting the bases to look like a road isn't that common? Saves time and materials on basing though. I'm also using a lot of transfers which I don't normally do, even got some micro set and micro sol to do it.
>>96559780you samefagging little twerp how dare you
>>96559783They look good anon
>>96559774He's not picking guard
>tq is post models>lore chat vanishes
>>96559586Lasting consequences happening in 40k books is great, but that's self-contained. It's unrelated to the game and product lines.>>96559601Nobody cares about any consequences that don't alter the game itself (and introducing new material isn't a consequence). "The Biel-Tan Craftworld was shattered into the a fleet-world? Ok, how does that change the tabletop? It doesn't? Ok, whatever, don't care." It's not worth writing.>>96559562>>96559574I wasn't the anon who responded to you. I'm mostly into historical non-fiction and political stuff. Most recent fiction book is the Master and Margarita. If I had a favorite author, it's probably Umberto Eco (I doubt we'd get along if he were still alive).
>>96559793most anons understand the policy of "leave arguments in the thread"
>>96559709This is worth more than my car
>>96559791Yeah he is picking a fucking xeno
>>96559716I miss it so much but the chinese and freelancer factions are so ass
>>96559793>>96559796>>96559799My sides are in orbit
>>96559813I do my best : )
>>96559796fuck off retard leave this faggotry in the dead thread
>>96559813The anon was right, he did say "most"
>>96559716I would love a proper single player rpg with For Honors combat system
>>96559822so the jedi fallen order games?
>>96559816You seem upset.
>>96559829>What surrounds the war and where it happens is the context.Than it's irrelevant to your favorite Pariah Nexus then.
>>96559833>>96559816
>>96559705>65000 dog models>Wolf priestSo you really did swap them to a space yiff successor
are there any multi-model units that do not have a sergeant within it
>>96559836Nope
Are Tyranids hard to build/paint?
>>96559827>jedi fallen ordernah, I'd want something with more rpg elements
>>96559778We eating good
>>96559842Marines? Company heroes, techmarine with servitors.
>>96559860depends how much quality you want to give them.
>>96559778mostly done with mine, I'll try get him based and touch up the paintjob on the weekend
>>96559582>tqfinal repost of this guy gonna do a callidus assassin or an inquisitor next
>>96559772I've been thinking of getting some big nids for my army before the prices go up. Any recommendations?
What's the closest faction to the vampire counts in 40k? I just fucking love vampires
>>96559878These look great, are you the same blue ork anon that collects votann?
since i already have the majority of a kill team i think ill go ahead and pull the trigger on buying a replacement sortitas 10 person squad to replace the missing ones from the set. thanks for convincing me anons !>>96559910blood angels and its not even close
Sorry, sorry, pardon me... have to carry over this greatest hit:>>96559353>There are significant lore consequencesSIGNIFICANTLORE CONSEQUENSES
>>96559921Dude, did you catch what happened when Ahriman fought with Mephiston??? It was so intense, they destroyed an entire blackstone fortress and half the Chapter died, I can't believe that! Mephiston was so mad, he was about to kill Ahriman... but then Magnus conjured a storm and pulled him away! It opened up an entire sector-sized extension of the Great Rift! Also, Karandras gave his life fighting against a Tyranid invasion, it was so deep and tragic... but then he came back to life cuz he's a Phoenix Lord.Huge stuff, was on the edge of my seat the whole time. 40k is gonna be different from now on.
>>96559915Nah, just Orks for me
keep it in the last thread you fags
>>96559860I don't know about building them, but they're the perfect army for simple painting techniques like drybrushing and washes. A lot of detail, not big flat surfaces. Hell you can get away with a white rattlecan and three pots of contrast.
>>96559910Not blood angels, it’s not really close. Gene stealer cults, necrons, or agents are maybe close to it.
>>96559933Ah true I dont think ive seen you post before
>>96559582Won't finish it before my first game of 5th, this weekend, but I'm pretty hype.
>>96559924What do you think'll happen next week?
>>96559934They arent going to stop and you know it
>>96559936Vampire themed robots does actually sound sick as hell
>>96559947You're always welcome to join in.
>>96559947then I'll call them fagsbet they wont like that
>>96559943>painted machina opus the correct way
>>96559943As much as I like the new techmarines, there's something about this doctor octopus motherfucker that I'll always love.
>>96559960Just look at his little button nose. Adorable.
>>96559958That's not the correct way though
>>96559941Haven't posted recently
>>96559839Naw, I just wanted to have some fun painting some wolf models down th road and as a bonus it'd let me run my BGV as headtakers in a SW list if I wantedand the new wolf priest is a 10/10 chap model
Blue ork love
how do black templars view techmarines
>>96559986>>96559958Hahahaha, oh man. Turns out the reference picture I picked out from google was the ONLY one with the colors switched.
>>96560008It doesn't help that official art gets it backwards frequently too lmao
>>96559998They don't really have a problem with them so long as they subscribe to the view that the Omnissiah is an aspect of the Emperor, which most of the mechanicum actually believes and the rest pretend to believe so as to not be murdered
>>96559986That's the neat, relatively unknown fluff of it. Machina Opus is the holy symbol of Adeptus Mechanicus, and techmarines are ordained priests of the Machine Cult. But their loyalties are first and foremost to their chapter, so they can't wear admech heraldry as is.This is why Machina Opus on techmarines and marine vehicles is painted with black and white inverted. They pay the necessary respect to the martian priesthood, but maintain a certain distance from it.You can check it on studio painted minis. Admech ones and guard/marine ones have the icon inverted.
>>96560008You painted it right, anon.
>>96559614They're only marginally more powerful than multilasers and we see a marine tanking that in Astartes already, but he did take the most damage to his armor than anyone else, so I doubt we'd end up seeing them actually killing marines in the marine hype animation. Tau breach gats also get out ranged by every marine weapon, which makes me assume they function sort of like pulse shotguns, which would still be cool to see.
>>96560015>That's the neat, relatively unknown fluff of it. Machina Opus is the holy symbol of Adeptus Mechanicus, and techmarines are ordained priests of the Machine Cult. But their loyalties are first and foremost to their chapter, so they can't wear admech heraldry as is.That's not stated anywhereThat image is literally from an article on the techpriest specific Machina Opus with cited sources for the image.
>notification on my phone>package at post offficeOh I'm excited. Been looking for these beauties for a while.
>>96560036they're gonna turn out great purpleanon
I got to help a buddy of mine who's headed to a tournament walk through some deployments and his first few movement phases. It's a little less fun than getting a full game in, but it's still fun to get to hang with the boys and move models around the board.You anons getting any gaming done?
>have the old kill team box sitting in storage for over a year>finally decide to put together the kommandos a few weeks ago>they change them last week so they can be fielded as squads of 5>tfwI have no idea what the optimal loadout is for them now, I just went all melee + flamer
>>96560008Don't worry about it, both are fineI'm sure there have been at least three religious holy wars just about which side should be metallic/black and which should be skull/white>>96560015>Machina Opus on techmarines and marine vehicles is painted with black and white inverted>You can check it on studio painted minisNo it's still a crapshoot as so what way round it will be.>>96560036Hell yeah
>>96560046(this is a trap)
>>96560059>as so
>>96560060You okay anon?
>>96560019>which makes me assume they function sort of like pulse shotgunsThey don't, they're more like...hand-cannons. But lasers.That said, while both Multilasers and Pulse Blasters get AP -2 (at least at the ranges those Marines were fighting at), the Pulse Blaster is Strength 6 while the Multilaser was only Strength 3. So significantly more power with the Pulse Blaster. Even lorewise it's described as being able to put a hefty sized hole straight through an armored transport like a Chimera at close range.I'd still favor the Marines of course to win, given their general biology, but that is not something they want to get hit with, I don't imagine they'd shrug it off like they did with that multilaser.
>>96560076>They don't, they're more like...hand-cannons. But lasers.Well, plasma, not lasers, but you get the idea.
When are we getting a Tau refresh that removes all the pulse and ion weapon tech? They've been being "phased out" in favor of the cheaper, easier and better rail tech since 5e, and that was literally more than a century ago.
I learned today that the reason I think NMM always looks like shit is the fact that I'm slightly colorblind.
>>96560107I had a friend who found out they were colorblind playing ark
>>96560107NMM is a meme being pushed by youtube painters because it photographs really well at a specific angle. That's it. If you don't look at it 'correctly' it looks dumb.
>>96560099The question is....what the fuck happens to all the pulse weapons in Tau player armies when that happens?But as for your question, if this does end up happening, I would assume it would be as part of some big event where the Tau invade the Ultarmar system, wherein they fail to take Ultramar itself but do shave off some of the border worlds from it.
>>96560109>it photographs really well at a specific anglePaintlet cope. There are videos of flameon's chrome custodes rotating and it looks exactly as impressive in motion.
>>96560039Thanks. Might take a while until I paint them though, gotta finish my collage entry.
NMM only really works if the models themselves are good. its why you never see firstborn in nmm.
>>96560108I've known about my colorblindness since I was a kid, but it clicked today when someone was showing off some NMM gold they did at the local. I kept moving it around to try and get it to look even remotely like gold, but couldn't do it. It was just kinda brown. I commented on how it doesn't look anything like gold to me, and that's when it clicked.>>96560109I can't comment on if it does or doesn't work, but man I've never seen an NMM that even looks like metal to me, let alone that looks better than just clean metallics.
>>96560112You just have two data-sheets. One for the old pulse stuff and one for the new rail stuff. Or if it's a proper range refresh, just legend the old units and people can then just proxy that old stuff in as needed.
>>96559699from Throneworld>A series of bangs resounded round the room. The ork’s chest blew out messily, showering Haas with viscera. She covered her face instinctively. A final shot rang out, bursting its head, and its huge corpse toppled towards her. Haas scrambled aside to see a giant warrior in black-and-white armour shove itself into the cell, bringing part of the doorway down. It was some kind of Space Marine, garbed in armour Haas had never seen: tall, high-backed, the helmet roughly square and formed of brutal angular plates, arms protected by massive shoulder guards. A second stood in the door, watching his comrade’s back.>‘Thank the Emperor! We are saved, saved!’ shouted Marast. He flung his lanky body at the feet of the Space Marine, clutching gratefully at the feet of their saviours. The longshanks wept, disbelieving of their salvation.>The Space Marine nudged Marast away with its enormous boot.>‘Non-standard human phenotype identified. Loathe the mutant. Terminate.’>Haas curled up and clapped her hands over her ears as the Space Marines opened fire with their terrible weapons. The longshanks did not even have time to express their surprise before their fragile bodies were pulped by mass-reactive shells. The gunfire went on forever, the individual reports merging into one rolling booming. When it stopped, Haas was amazed to find she still lived. Her hands shook as she took them from her ears. The longshanks had been obliterated, reduced to a gory slick that dripped from the walls.>Her ears hurt agonisingly and she cried out. The Space Marine swung its blocky helmet in her direction, pointing its bolter at her. She screamed again, and the Space Marine moved his bolter away from her. When he spoke to her it was muffled, as if her ears were stuffed with fabric.>‘Human survivor located. You, come with us.’ The warrior pointed a massive articulated finger at her, the segments sparking with a power field. ‘The Emperor protects.’
>>96560113Can you post the video? I wanna see how it looks to my colorblind ass.
>>96560127God I fucking hate the Imperium so much.
>>96560130https://youtu.be/HlIS_47mdcM?si=6sWWW-dyYAqsTH-0
>>96559716I really like these skins for some reason. They remind me of the Votann.
>>96560134Huh, neat. Yeah that looks nothing like metal to me. If I didn't know it was NMM because I was told it was, I'd say it was some sort of snow camo.
>>96560133if it makes you feel any better the Black Templars got a stern talking to by their chapter's official tard wranglers(the Imperial Fists)>‘Chapter Master Koorland, human survivors,’ said her rescuer. The chamber shook with a titanic impact somewhere high above. Grit pattered down from the roof. The Imperial Fist, Koorland, finished giving his orders to warriors in bare metal armour discoloured by heat, and others in battered gear annotated with careful script.>‘State your names,’ said Koorland to the survivors. ‘Be quick. If you have anything worthwhile to tell us of the ork moon, reveal it now. We cannot tarry.’>‘Your men! They killed the longshanks,’ she shouted.>The Chapter Master turned back.>‘What?’ His voice was hard and inhuman from his vox-grille, the bright yellow helm unreadable. Haas was terrified, but her instinct for justice was strong.>‘Others. I was imprisoned with them. They helped keep me safe, and your men killed them.’>‘You are?’>‘Arbitrator Galatea Haas, Imperial Palace 149th Administrative District, General Oversight Division. I survived the Proletarian Crusade.’>‘Is this true, Arbalt?’ Koorland asked of Haas’ rescuer.>‘The female was domiciled with a number of aberrants,’ said Arbalt, his contempt plainly audible through the distortions of his vox-grille. ‘Non-standard humanoid phenotype. They did not deserve clemency.’>‘They told me that they were permitted abhumans. Longshanks,’ said Haas.>‘Longshanks? That kind are sanctioned,’ said Koorland. ‘Arbalt, Ulferic. No human is to be harmed, no matter their type, not before you report to me.’>‘As you wish, Chapter Master,’ said Arbalt emotionlessly.>‘Convey this information to all your fellows,’ he said angrily. ‘While you are under my command I will not countenance the needless slaying of innocents.’>Arbalt gave an awkward bow, his movements restricted by his suit. ‘My lord Chapter Master.’
>>96560127I think it was an Imperial Fist who found out about this later and was pissed, but not enough to do anything about it. Just told them to knock that shit off.
>>96560134This is an extremely good paint job that takes 100s of hours to accomplish. This is not the sell for NMM you think it is.

>>96560155Are psykers mutants? They're clearly an abnormal gene.
>>96559582Got my first game with my own minis coming up this sunday. I'm playing Orks, 500 points, opponent has Tau and is a beginner just like me; not really expecting to win or lose.I'm working on the list (and finishing the painting but I doubt i'll manage until then) How does this look? (using the most recent rules/point updateDetachment: War band (I like taktikal brigade the most from what i've read but i figured i would take something simple for my first game)>Trukk>1 boyz unit>1 grot unit with runtherd>1 stormboy unit>1 big mek>Burna boyzThat puts me at 450, I'm hesitating between switching the burna boyz with something else or using the remaining points for Detachment enhancement. Still reading the rules and I don't have a very good grasp on it or on strategy in general, figured I would bring a decent variety of units to try them out.The idea I have so far is to put the boyz in the trukk, put the Weird boy with the burna boyz so he can teleport either near an objective (or the other army). Stormboyz should manage on their own. Its just the grot i'm worrying about as they might lagging behind
>>96560228>humanity's next stage of evolution and a result of their souls escaping Earth's gravityIt's such a desirable goal to turn all humanity into psykers that launching an Exterimatus on Terra would be worth it if it achieves it..
>>96560228Psykers are witches.
>>96560230The grots just afk on your home objective anyway
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96560240How soon?
>>96560240You have cursed your kin
>>96560230Can't attach a weirdboy to burnas. Leave the grots on the home objective to farm cp, attach the weirdboy to the boyz, put the big mek with the burnas and chuck them in the trukk. Stormboyz can be deployed or go into deep strikeI mean its your first game, do whatever you want and just have fun
>>96559709Can you add a tripcode so I can filter you?
>>96560252He feeds on attention so I doubt it.
>>96559709Make an army of female custodes.

Melta should either get re-roll to wound or +1 to wound when shooting from half range or at least go up to S10.
>>96559709nah they deserve you
Are you ready for chaos undivided?
>>96560268Just play eldar bro
>>96560273Keep seeing this mouse.
>>96559992i'm still dreading paitning trukk, battlewagon & other vehicules.Heard that airbrushing really ease up the process but so far I have to abstain buying one until I get to try it out (or finish the rest of my army so that i don't make yet another unreasonable purchase while the other minis sit around unpainted
>>96560284Catachan kill team when?
>>96560228Yes, sanctioned ones are fine though.Soul-bound ones have seen the emperor and are even slightly holy (if still icky)
>>96560189Most likely a Lord, but yeah I'm gonna slap him into a 40mm and use him as a stand-in character.>>96560185Dark Vengeance had some really nice sculps, I still love the termies that came with it.
>>96560277perhaps you've been chosen by the idol of chaos
>>96560288honestly ork vehicles are fine to paint the old fashioned waynot to say an airbrush wouldnt be useful, but because so many of them are multiple bolted on plates of armor getting the clean flat finish over large flat panels isn't the issue it is with stuff like tau or eldar vehiclesdrybrushing generally works if you're light with it too as they have lots of rivets and bolts that it can pick up
>>96559705He's a qt, thanks anon
>>96560288Its really easy if youre a goffs man like me, once you've primed the model its over half done
>>96559910>vampire countsDrukhari kind of have similar vibes with Kabals and Wyches as the Vampires and Covens as the Undead hordes.
>>96560228Psykers can be cloned and the clones won't be psychic. Same with nulls. It's a soul trait, not purely a genetic one. It can still be inherited in a way but not specifically through the genome.If they had a reliable way to produce psykers they wouldn't constantly be hunting for them to feed to the emperor.
are tau cute?
>>96560359Votann manage to clone psykers though
>>96560368Not super familiar with their lore but do they have a template for a psyker they can clone skein at the will of the Votann or do clones all just have the very small potential to be psychic and are elevated to the Grimnyr position when their talents are discovered? Kyn have greatly diminished souls on average though to keep them warp resistant so it's odd for them to have Psykers at all.
>>96560367No they are ugly but they have a nice taste
>>96560376They have specific psykers clone-skeins iircIt's very weird that it flies in the face of all pre-established lore on clones and souls but honeslty most Votann lore seems to have just be thrown together last minute.
>>96560376Votann don't have diminished souls, they are just "shrouded" or hidden in someway so daemons can't see them.
>>96560367yes.
>>96560359>>96560376>>96560383Last time I checked, Navigators are a gene thing and they're close to Psykers. Some races like the Eldar or Orks are all psykers in their own way so if they found a way to dim them, it's not too crazy to enhance.
>>96560395Don't Eldar lose their psychic powers when they are cloned too or have weaker souls or something?
>>96560383>It's very weird that it flies in the face of all pre-established lore on clones and soulsMost clones in 40k are just fine and nothing bad happens to them.The bad luck thing people think of only happend to the Aphriel Strain which are specifically an abhuman strain imperium made by combining the genetics from all of its best soldiers and imperial guard heroes.Other clones in 40k are just fine.Like Deldar, they are mostly just vatborn clones.House Goliath on Necromunda, they are also majorly vatborn clones. And only difference between natborn goliaths and vatborn ones, is that the vatborn are slightly dumber and have slightly shorter lifespans.Then there are also the Krieg who are also implied to be a clone army of sorts, and they are all just fine as well.Even the clone of Horus that Abaddon killed was entirely ok, only thing happened is that Abaddon killed him and that was only done so GW can show how cool Abaddon is compared to Horus.Same goes for all the Ferrus clones which Fulgrim tries to corrupt to Chaos which only ends in him and the clone Ferrus fighting because even as a clone Ferrus wants nothing to do with Chaos.
>>96560397Vatborn are not clones, both for deldar and kreig
>>96560396>Don't Eldar lose their psychic powers when they are clonedThere's no fluff about that.Only thing comes to mind if the Deldar being vatborn.But even then the reason why Deldar have no psychic powers has nothing to do with cloning, it's just that they can't use them because their psychic powers have athrophied because psychic shit is banned Commoragh.
>>96560395>it's not too crazy to enhancethe rarity of the grymnir is proof enough that the cloning of psykers, for whatever hidden reason, is capped.
>>96560399Vatborn is just cloning.That's all it is.
>>96560399>>96560396Technically Dark Eldar "clones" are the same soul shoved into a duplicate body.The vatborn or halfborn are extracted fetuses raised to maturity in an artifical womb for the purposes of unburdening the mother from a lengthy Eldar pregnancy that would leave her vulnerable.
>>96560396eldar don't really clone themselves to increase their numbers, they clone themselves to maintain their numbers, they essentially fish the souls back, they don't make new ones
>lorefags
>>96560409are they? I thought vatborn's thing was that they are also not conceived naturally. Trueborns are born out of normal conceptions (and makes sense for the fetus to grow outside the body, typical deldar stuff), while halfborns/vatborns are created in a vat.
>>96560405Or they don't clone more Grimnir because there's largely no point.The society functions well enough with the amount they have.
>>96560418We just havin a giggle mate. But if you want to talk shop whatchya paintin lately? What kinda lists ya brewin?
>>96560420They are conceived naturally but ripped out and grown in the vats, being gregnant isn't great if you need to keep moving and killing and only the super powerful can afford to do it
>>96560425He wont/cant because hes just here to troll
For the lorefags>>>/lit/
>>96560434lorefags deserve the rope to be fair
>>96560434Surely there aren't people in this general that dont partake in any of this hobby, including the lore, thats just silly isnt it?
>>96559933>just Orks for meah, finally another boy of kulture. paintjob looks gorgeous anon. I would join your waaaagh
>>96560441"this hobby" is painting miniatures and playing games with them, that's it :)
>>96560443What if you're both average fa/tg/uy and tourist troll?
>>96560443>tourist troll>mentally stable
>>96560441Yeah there has never been anyone here just to disrupt people having friendly conversations and to start shitflinging when people are having a good time.Never happens.
>>96560441Building and painting miniatures is the hobby. All the "lore" is just pulp and filler.This isn't a book club, my dude.
>>96560452I'm in favor of it being both
>>96560454It's encompasses a few things, lore, the models and the games being big partsIt's just a troll anyway
>>96560127>>96560141I fucking HATE Black Templars and their nazi players. I HATE them all. HATE.
>>96560390you almost convinced me
>>96560443
>>96560457You need to go back lmao
>>96560207Just drop a modelOH WAITHAHAHAHA
>>96560418>>96560433I'm glad this has caught on. They're almost as bad as paintfags.
>>96560457
>>96560459I always wondered, why don't anyone steal all those boxes in the open? Why aren't they in protective cases? It's like they be asking to be robbed.
>>96560447that meme where pic related is both upper left and bottom right of the political compass
>>96560469Have you considered being less black?
>>96560443the 5th axis: decalmutant and the guy obssessed with ben
What's everyone think about the new point adjustments? Gotten any games in with them yet?Orks and Admech both looking pretty swell now.
>>96560468This is why I call all marines of any flavor "blood ravens." Especially to HH players.
hello lads. What would be a good edition to play in? I know a couple of people that play but they all say 10th sucks ass, and my only experience was in 8th (which was awful but because of who I played against). If it matters, I'd love to play admech so can't really go far back in time in editions.
>>96560469Where do you live? Where I'm from stealing is wrong.
>>96560474That's literally the bottom right
>>96560469What kind of third world shithole do you live in where plastic models in big boxes have to be kept locked in a case to prevent theft?
>>96560475I played against my friend's admech today. They seem insane. Army wide stealth, everything is move blocking me into my deployment zone, and then when I exposed my big threat to kill something he popped a 5+ FnP and it lived, then he oathed my tank and killed it.
>>96560482USA
>>96560478Ask around at your local game stores.Current edition will always be easiest to find games for but small communities pop up here and there that focus on older stuff.
>>96560443Funny how modelposter is objectively the only one that provides something of actual value to the thread.
>>96560480Pakistan
>>96560478unless you got a buddy up for older ed just play the fucking 10th, cawl even got a buff so you should be bit stronger
>>96560475Salty about EC, nerf and joke buff. EC don't have much to shift and play around and they were pretty shit already.
>>96560469because if you're thinking about committing crimes to get plastic crack, then gw is already robbing you in turn
i think the faux latin is by far the cringiest part about 40k
>>96560464Can't be as bad as modelfags though, right?
>>96560487yeah no plays miniature games of any kind. The three LGS near me are only anime and magic with some DnD on the side. Pretty much only played wargames over TTS with other friends>>96560490well, what makes 10th bad then, that one guy who has always had something positive to say about the other editions has unilaterally commented that it sucks?
>>96560500with a couple obvious exceptions modelfags are universally the best posters in this general
>>96560502>with a couple obvious exceptions:(
>>96560502Including yourself?
>>96560464>has caught onit really hasn't
>>96560464>ignoring the elephant in the roomGamefags are the worst by far
>>96560489There are Warhammer stores in Pakistan?
>>96560499it's basically how the earliest forms of german (written) language evolved. would be more interesting what actually differentiates high gothic from low gothic and further from actual common
Hey anons is this worth getting for 112USD? I have posibility to grab 2 of them for that price each
>>96560207Wargear in 11th
>>96560512no
>>96560515Sure if you like the models go for it.
>>96560457so much for the tolerant slaanesh
>>96560207literally as easy as >>96560218 saidif you are not some kind of waacf or tournament tryhard there is no reason to not allow some leeway to the points list especially since the out of house balancing just gets worse over time
>>96560457I like Black Templars :)
>>96560515do you really need 20 matebounds and 40 jackasses?
>>96560511You missed the no in no gamefags friend. Anyone who only paints or reads the lore are the biggest fags out there.
>>96560457>seething about nazisYou do know where we are right
>>96560076You're thinking of hotshots and hellguns, multilasers are high strength low AP, so the difference is the pulse blaster having -1 AP better than the multilaser at similar strength 6.
>>96559745Half the Drukhari units are currently in the Eldar codex and can be played with the Ynnari lol
>>96560534The game is kinda shit in 10th, weird to be elitist about playing it. Atleast this edition.
>>96560501>well, what makes 10th bad thenfree customization lead to bigger homogenization because there is 0 reason to not pick the actually good weapon compared to the past where taking it might've been +15pt on a character modelrules dumbing downmore herohammer shittoo easy to get lethal sustained which is the most cookiecutter shitarmies are too cheap (points wise) so outside of few outliers you're going to horde out, this is especially bad for starters as some armies reached a point where your cost:point ratio is 2:1 instead of 2,5-3,xx:1 (marines are in the better half which leads to more marinebloat in stores)
No new detachments for this update confirmed. Won't get any more until December.
>>96560544what do you mean? we got salamanders, imperial fists and raven guard start of semptember :)
Threadly reminder that bridgehead needs to be unfucked.
>>96560306I hope the catachan kill team comes with some kind of minigun
>>96560542huh, the weapon and gear swaps don't cost points anymore?
>>96560555there is enough free tools to oogle units and rules for free but as a last spoon yes, taking power swords over chainswords is now free
>>96560551It will probably just be a heavy bolter but heavy gunner is a staple role in kill teams so there will most likely be one.
>>96560557oh don't worry I am not asking you to feed me the rules, I am getting the rules now. Actually, one thing I am still curious about. That uh program that you could use to make army lists, is it still around? I completely forgot its name.
>>96560547No, its your fault. You abused the fuck out of it. Now you reap the whirlwind.
>>96560578It was kicked off the throne, the new good one is called newrecruit
>>96560542gear is a persistent problem because there has always been a best option, it just didn't always used to be the strongest weapon and you needed to do some basic maths to work it out. the rules haven't been "dumbed down" enough to make the game quicker to play, which is the number one problem for making the game actually good or interesting. you can't do shit in 3-4 rounds of interaction.11th could save the game by reducing points to 1200 standard, removing all rerolls and rolls to wound (saving literally an hour from a typical game) and banning knights
>>96560590got it, thanks anon. Have a good day
>>96560551They should have a unit that's just these 6 guys
>>96560574Yeah, heavy gunner with options for either H-bolter or H-flamer seems like a given.
>>96560609I was a different anon but you have a good day too mate
>>96560611Is it weird that I want a catachan kill teamy, even if id have to convert/kitbash them to be more in line with with my cadian army anyway
>>96560611But there's only 5 people in this image?
>>96560620the 6th one is very sneaky
>>96560574fucking sucks that the rotor cannon is gone.
>>96560620The tits count as one each
>>96560623There's hope
>>96560616>Is it weird that I want a catachan kill teamyGuardfags may deny it, but the meme about liking normal men facing incomprehensible horrors is all bullshit, you all want larger than life action heroes, you just don't want superheroes.
Am I ruining my models (by putting them up my ass)Warband: Marrow Choir.Think my camera is just too close. IDK. fuck it.
>>96560650You shouldn't put your models up your ass.
>>96560650yeah, you should put them in anon's
>Post modelsWIP on my collage entry. Hopefully I wont fuck up the fire effect.
>>96560642hope left this game a long time ago.
>>96560622Is it wrong that my first thought was chuck Norris?That’s what that catachan model is based off of right?
>>96560668gl anon but nothing can save that head sculpt
>>96560647I just want more options for my army.I was excited for the krieg combat engineers because it finally added shotgun armed soldiers to the codex
>>96560668looks nice anon especially the see through satin look. I believe in your skills, just take your time
>>96560475> IAI don't understand why Deathwatch were buffed when they are already the best unit in the boo-> new models releasedOh there it is.
>>96560693Hey welcome back! Or maybe you never left and I never noticed you.Either way I bought Victoriaminiature stuff to make remote mine beastmen inspired by your work.
>>96560693beastman in IG when? i love their kill team but i dont want to play chaos cuz its cringe
>>96560668I need to get my SoB out of storage so i can add them to the shelf alongside these
>>96560710i love SoB but i just cant stand that helmet. it srsly look like upside down panties
>>96560397>>96560399Votann clones are from spliced DNA patterns so in a weird way, it's less making a copy and more blending patterns almost like skipping the sperm and egg stage with a computer DNA randomizer instead.>GWKYSThe captcha seems to want Geedubs to die.
finished my first brain boy
>>96560716Well anvil industry has what are essentially alternative helms.
>>96560218>>96560527That's not fine. The limit is the limit. Anything under the limit is fine. Equal to the limit is fine. Over the limit is not fine.
Why do we give money to GW when they hate us so?
>>96560720the votann is remixing them like a DJ in a sense but last codex also hints that the race is going into biological killswitch if they don't get to natural procreation. Then again votann likely wasn't expected to run non-stop for 20k years while getting server uploads from recycled kin
>>96560730>Why do we give money to GWI don't
>>96560730I give my money to the lgs and in return they give me imperial guard tanks.But I see your point. That’s why I go third party after that.
>>96560725that a lot of colors
>>96560725Nice orange edges on the chitin
>>96560709convert them, field them in imperial guard with the same rules as the chaos killteam>but that's illegalwhat's the opponent going to do? cry because you're cheating by fielding goats?
Finally bought a showcase for my boyz, I have 3 nobz left to paint and I will have no more grey stuff. I have bought more Orks for a few hundreds (300) will have around 6000pts secondhand, willing to finish everything by the end of the year.
>>96560748Second layer
Why does GW so obviously hate Dark Eldar
>>96560748Third layer
>>96560752Everytime refreshfag does his ritualpost they get closer and closer to squatting DE
>>96560752Why do you love them too much? It's like those fake waluigi fans who demanded him to be in smash. DE can be in the game but they'll never feature in the main event.
>>96560709Convert them and run them as Catachans. Guard but better at melee with less fancy weapons fits them perfectly well.
>>96560608That wont happen unfortunately because it reduces the cost of an army, and thus GWs profit per 2k army, but like 40%
>>96560691An anon painted a fucking AMAZING one a month or two ago that definitely saved it. If you are here anon who had that sheer fabric painting effect PLEASE POST IT AGAIN.
>>96560716great, now I can never unsee itfuck you anon
>>96560716I dont think so at all and you have been poisoned by memes
>>96560730I stopped buying gw shit a year ago.
>>96560740What about the shaman goat?
>>96560730agitating against GW should not be allowed here.
>>96560803Still into 40k but hate gw or are you leaving the warhammer woods?
Are there any pics of marines with metal highlights instead of just paler whater-the-main-color-is, curious how it would look
>>96560807counted as a human herder with neural-goad, obviously
>>96560730I buy everything GW actually makes for my factions. Which is about 6 kits in the last 6 years. Only one I skipped was the stilt boy for AdMech.
>>96560822>Only one I skipped was the stilt boy for AdMech.Some models are too silly even by 40k standards.
>>96560761I dislike everything thats not Kabalite Warriors, Incubi, Wracks or Vect
>>96560764>the 6" scout move represents them being sent in as the first wave in front of all normal guardsmen
>>96560730I buy the stuff I like.I ignore the rest.
>>96559002>A lot of people really like the 40k setting but aren’t into the tabletop game or grimdark.
>>96560830That's extremely specific. Vect doesn't even have a model. What's wrong with Scourges? Do you not even like any of their boats?I don't think you can claim you like DE if you don't like the boats.It's okay to just say Incubi are a bomb ass model and leave it at that.
>>96560748>>96560749>>96560755These are awesome, anon. How did you do the bases?
>>96560851I like the boats, i prefer the old scourges they look weird now.I like Vects lore i wish he still had a model.
>>96560761>Why do you like this army in a wargame that has been in the Wargame for over a quarter of a centuryNo clue, just peel off all the old armies and let them crumble from neglect. Anything added after 2nd edtion is a fake army and should have all it's units diverted to Space Marines.
>>96560829You know he actually grew on me somewhat, I think that different helmet visor helps a lot
>>96560809I just buy recasts and go through my mountain of shame.
>>96560761>>96560856While I'm at it Orks don't sell all that much better than Deldar from what I can tell. Orks can probably be let go from the tabletop too.
AVE DOMINUS NOX
>>96560857I don’t know how he grew on yA. I think he is too silly even for warhammer.>>96560861To be fair I buy a lot of third party resin. I play guard.
>>96560871Orks are about to become the second best selling faction in the game after 11e launches.CSM are losing their throne because they're hemorrhaging big portions of their player base to the cult legions.
>>96560877>Orks are about to become the second best selling faction in the game after 11e launcheslol
>No quarterly detachments this quarterGW you lazy bastards how hard is it to write three pages in three months? We know you don't playtest this shit.
Would anyone ever possibly care if the bolt pistol is not visible on some of my assault intercessors?
>>96560890did they say we aren't getting them?
>>96560888Curious what you think the second most purchased faction is these days?
>>96560894Pistols have always been optional for WYSIWYG unless it's a specific upgrade like a plasma pistol.
>>96560900Thanks mate. I even thought about gluing holsters on their back belts but its kind if ugly.
>>96560896
>more info that deldar codex isn't actually that shit (compared to index-era options)>still the range is terrible to get into even if you can snipe old CPs and new BF once it comes outit's all so tiring...
>>96560909It's extra funny to me that you won't be able to buy an Archon model from GW for the next 4-6 months and they're 100% required to play the faction
>>96559778Basecoated my mega armor boss, I'll be done by this weekend
>>96560914doesn't really feel like you need more than 1 since malys and drakhar buff incubi better and cabal really wants you to run archon+hand for scout infiltrators to challenge objective early. And i bet a lot of locals will still have the uggo one
>>96559878Looks sick
>>96560920Drazhar doesn't actually buff incubi much anymore. They buff him.Malys is indeed a powerhouse but the generic Archon is the only CP cost reducer in the army and the only unit that can take any enhancements in some of the better detachments.
>>96560056Yeah as long as you built the breacha ram you should be good. I built mine for kill team but no one irl will mind
>>96560935still feels weird to justify taking more than maaaybe 2, even for all the wargear the play seems to be stacking helions and likely dark lance scourges for vehicles
>>96560897I don't know. But it's not Orks. Orks are barely above Deldar, making them the third least selling Xenos. That means that CWEdlar, Tyranids, Necrons, Tau all have to be selling above Orks. Then you have the Chaos faction and all the Imperial factions that aren't agents or any of the chamber militants.
>>96559582>TQHow about a game? Had a game of votann vs tau yesterday.After spending a good chunk of time explaining my army rule and all the situational buffs I'll get over the course of the game to my opponent, we started with Tau getting the first turn. Our mission was terraform, so he went up and had his kroot terraform two of the nml objectives. There weren't any sightlines to any of my units though so no shots were made.
Is the current Nids playstyle still "hog objectives and die"
>>96560962During my turn 1 I went forward and destroyed one of his kroot units and a couple pathfinders, while performing a single terraform of my own. Unfortunately I put myself way out in the open to do so, which was a mistake I didn't think of at the time. Silly votann, don't you remember tau are the shooty army?
>>96560957>>96560897Sorry Votann are considered xenos aremies by GW right? Orks are the fourth worst selling Xenos army
>>96560966His turn 2 came and after deep striking a unit of kroot behind me he moved up some flamer suits and with some kroot help he wiped a unit of thunderkyn and my bikes. Not pictured were some breachers that came out of his transport and decimated my other unit of bikes
>>96560970And so, for my turn I 2 had to steal an objective, so I did my own deep striking and placed 2 units of hearthguard to take his home objective and another NML objective. I had to use my landfort sparingly to leave space for a charge to steal the center objective, so unfortunately I didn't kill the flamer suits in front. After the charge, though, I did have the center objective so I scored that secondary despite my hearthguard failing their charges. Importantly though, I was now in FT so I was hoping my defensive buffs would start to help me stay alive during the next rounds.
>>96560972Turn 3 was brutal. The tau had a unit of dedicated vehicle -destroyers pop in and I had to use Void Armor just to give my landfort a 6+ save against their guns. After they and the remaining broadside shot at it though it was gone from the game.
>>96560976Elsewhere, he used his kroot and remaining flamers to eradicate my thunderkyn and take the objective from me. He also had his kroot rampagers charge my steeljacks after the breachers sacrificed themselves to eat the steeljacks' free overwatch. Many, many losses this turn.
>>96560981For my turn 3 I was now on the back foot and had to kick things into high gear. I had my hearthguard do their best to actually take the objectives they failed to get last turn so they shot and charged what they could. I successfully took his home objective, but the pathfinders spiked 4 6+ saves against my hearthguard and stayed alive while the transport was living with just a few wounds left. It'd be another turn before this one was mine which was bad news.
>>96560987The tau turn 4 was sealing the deal. By this point he was far ahead on points thanks to the terraform points scoring on both player turns, but I wasn't out yet. He had some more kroot that had deep striked last turn charge my earthshakers and while it did flip my objective for a turn they held strong and ended up winning this fight (not before the rampagers came over and cleaned house next turn, though)
>>96560989I had to make a gambit on my turn 4, because if I tried playing the objective game here it wouldn't be enough. I did terraform on his home objective and had my other hearthguard unit, which had managed to clear the tau they were in melee with during the tau turn 4, shoot at his vehicle killers in the center, hoping that my kapricus could use it's shoot and scoot ability or a charge to flip the objective and score area denial as well as open myself up for cleanse next turn while doing terraform elsewhere all while denying him more primary scoring. But, my gambit didn't pay off. The kapricus missed it's railgun shot and the hearthguard weren't enough to take down the whole unit with the character. The kapricus charged and while it did manage to contest the objective, I wouldn't be scoring anything on it anytime soon.
>>96560230What other units do you have? Generally that's a fine list
>>96560992And so, we went into round 5 knowing the result. That gambit was my last effort and it failed, so we rolled a few more dice and mathed it out. My kapricus and earthshakers died and with nothing to go for the hearthguard (and both for them to shoot, either) they did some actions to get myself as many points as possible. And while it was close, it just wasn't enough. We finished the game 76-70 in favor of the tau.It was an extremely fun game and I was very surprised I was able to get the score that close despite the odds. Tau are seriously no joke even to the toughness of the votann. Funny enough, I think my -1 to wound rule only came into play around 3 times during the game. Most often he was matching my toughness or lower than it. And when he was exceeding, it was into vehicles. I think if I had remembered to use rapid ingress the game would've been much different, but oh well. Still a great time against one of my favorite opponents.Sorry that this writeup was a bit longer than my last, I tend to remember more about the games I had more fun playing. This one was extremely fun.
>>96560998based tabletopchad. glad you had fun anon keep posting your after battle reports !
>>96560998You need to deduce 10 points from your opponent for playing with unpainted models, making you the victor.
>>96560894what else did you put in their hands? they only have a heavy bolt pistol and chainsword in the rules. it's not like crusaders where they have an extra normal pistol to find room for.
>stripped the same chaos legionary 3 times already>still haven't decided on a scheme
>>96560907Does this mean we are getting 6 detachments in December with the next Data Slate? So I guess they're not doing the Grotmas thing again?
>>96561028orange and teal
>>96560894you can play tournaments without wysiwyg, the only thing people will care about is if you have like 5 miniatures in a unit and every miniature has a different loadout that isn't representedanyone who would raise a stink about something like that is most likely not worth playing with
>>96560998tau generally have been buffed to useable state, how have you felt about earthshakers? i feel that they have tendency to not pull their own weight and capricus defenders while nice on paper kinda do want to be run in the prospector detachment for pinning down
>>96560941>blue squigbrother from another mother. finally someone who gets the lucky squig aesthetic
>>96561028Stop being an indecisive faggot

>>96561028Do a minor warband maybe.I feel like they strike a balance between giving you directions and not being overdone to death.Like our friends the Punishers here.
>>96560457Of the two BT players I know, one is a homosexual dog fetishist, and the other is in the process of trooning out
/40kg/ frens! help me decide 3 models to buy from this list tomorrow ! the scratched out ones i already have
>>965610732 meters of rope
>>96561073i am begging you to get some basic bitch intercessors or infernus marines to practice on before you buy anymore big modelsget some nuln oil and reikland fleshshade while you're at it
>>96561069Those look cool but that's the scheme of my DG lads already>>96561054Mean :(>>96561064>>96561033Black Legion is a bit boring, and I'm not doing an army project in orange hell no, I painted some orange orks and it make me rethink if living is really worth it.
>>96560876I agree with him. The idea of soldiers on cybernetic stilts prowling the battlefield is very cool, shame it's not a unit but a character. It is also a way, way less awful model than the chicken helicopter and the hovercraft. The default helmet is bad, however, it looks like an AI artefact the way the goggles are doubled.Man, I am so pissed about the new admech models. Aside from the pteraxii and this guy, I think they are pretty bad. The initial models had a different tone, and they ruined it with comical 1400 designs and cowboys. The baroque wings make sense for the pteraxii, not for a flying aircraft.
>>96561073grab the dreadnoughts, they're fun projects regardless of the waacfaggotry.maybe convert them a little.
>>96561073Have you painted stuff before? At least 5 Intercessors always have a place in any marine list so it's a good place to start.Those are all big models with lots of detail so they should last you a while to paint. But if you absolutely must consoooom then get the Scouts.
Do black templars hate blanks because they’re “le ebil mutants”, or do they tolerate them because they fuck with psyker shit?
>>96560755Luv me stompas
>>96561097>Do black templars hate blanks because they’re “le ebil mutants”yeswho wouldn't hate soulless mutants?the enemy of my enemy can also be my enemy
>>96561028Why strip them at that point? Just paint over and strip once you land on a scheme.
>>96561079why what did i do? :(>>96561083i got some nuln oil yesterday my fren. i will pick up some reikland fleshshade also thanks for the tip! I have like 10-15 marines that came from the 40k starter set ill make sure to practice on them like you said tyyyy >>96561090i was leaning towards them or the gunship desu>>96561094dw anon i usually paint my models within a week of getting them. scouts might take a lil while to get since they're in a kill team box but i *think* my local warhammer store has one...
>>96561103
>>96561097"That psyker shit" Psyker shit such as faster than light travel
>>96561087Invocators look cool but the gradient effect might require an airbrush to pull, lots of great options here to get inspiration from.
>>96561113I would have suggested the gunship too, but it's an older kit, many find it stubby and ugly, and it's questionable whether it's going to survive for much longer going forward.the deathwatch flyer is much cooler, I'd just grab that one and proxy it as the storm raven instead.
>>96561087>Those look cool but that's the scheme of my DG lads alreadySure, but there are many others. You clearly need directions but also want something that feel yours. Minor Warbands is the sweet spot.>Skyrar's Dark WolvesDescendant of traitor Space Wolves. Unique enough and good for kitbashing>Bleak BrotherhoodIf you want to experiment with fluo paint, hexwraith technicals or anything like that, there is potential to make them cool.>Brotherhood of DarknessNight Lords with a Word Bearer style. Nice if you want the new NL kits.>Dragon WarriorsScales and flamers. Traitor Salamanders, so there is plenty of room for conversion.
I'm working on my Eldar Combat Patrol, just finished the Dire Avengers. Jesus Christ why did GW put two of this fucking kit in the goddamn starter box? Are they trying to scare people away from building an Eldar army?Like, looking at the pictures on the webzone, they don't look great. Not terrible, just OK. But then you actually build the kit and it sucks so bad. Not just the age of the design but the age of the mold, the fit on the parts is awful. There are big gaps on like a third of the complete shoulderpads because the pieces just don't go together well. There are so many nice new Eldar kits, why did they dump these things in what is supposed to be the introduction to the army?
NO WAYHERMIATUS IS FROM SPACE CRUSADE?
>>96561130oooo that pic looks sick asf. ill do what you said and just proxy it. can i also proxy lieutenant with combi weapon as a lieutenant with powersword? they look really similar to each other minus the head and pose....
>>96561140Wrong thread and also the new one is literally called "the second son" and was made from the originals dna or some shit
>>96561130yeah this model fucking rocks man
>>96561089admech vehicles suck in both 30k and 40k. Truly, it takes skill to be incapable of designing something cool for them
>>96561137Clearing inventory of the oldest aspect warrior kit seems the likely motivation
>>96561147People will give you some shit for not converting it to look closer to what you're proxying.At least the equipment should match.
>>96559582>No TQ just post modelsstill needs a varnish on the decal and another coat around the rim, but its good enough to post
>>96561168hm. i guess ill just buy the combi weapon from ebay since idk how to convert it sadly
>>96561036I think earthshakers are a meme until GW decides to ease up on indirect fire for its sins. I probably won't run them again.Defenders are pretty fun though. 70 points for a nice railgun shot that can shoot and scoot to cover itself is a very nice tool.
>>96560469Give it back, Jamal
>>96561172forgot to attach fml
>>96561178>Petram-Stynnus Coalition postNice
>>96559603>whoever corperate tells me to sell this month
Can inquisitors order the creation of a space marine chapter?
So who is actually in charge of the Imperium and determines its goals? Like who really has the final say in its most important matters?
>>96561204I dunno ask /hhg/
>>96561176it shouldn't he hard to source a combi weaponfor the extra mile you could replace the sword with a knife and the head with one showing a somewhat more tacticool and phobos-like lookbut it depends on the spare bits you have
>>96561204Maybe on paper, but no. The Imperium not being fascist, there is no word of law and only what you can force to happen, most of the time. The Highest rungs of the Imperium behave more like a social group than a government.>>96561206See above
>>96561206The Council of Terra
>Ghaz can now join BoyzThat's going to look funny. And I thought they never let characters join units of different toughnesses
>>96561206I dunno ask /hhg/
>>96561209>>96561226Twerp hands wrote these posts
>>96561227doakes.png
Imperial Agents, Grey Knights. Deathwatch, and Sisters of Battle should all be melted into one Inquisition Codex, and any models that don't fit the mold should just have their datasheets sold with the model and be attachable at will to any Imperial Army.
>>96561206it's a ship moving by inertia, there's noone at the helm anymore, they might swerve slightly to avoid some shit on the way, but they're inevitably moving forward regardless of anyone's say on the matter
>>96561209Are new space marine chapters not made in 40k? I didnt know that.
>>96561245Do any of the Xenos factions have a similar power structure that is somewhat vague and spread out or would you say most of them have a single focal point leadership group.
>>96561234sisters of battle have more than enough units to stand as an army in their own right and aren't really as known to be auxiliary forces for other armies like inquisitors or specialised strike teams can bethe 4 main imperial armies should thus be marines, guard, admech and sisterswith everything else being in an imperial agents index of units you can field accompanying one of those 4 army, or choose to specialise into completely and exclusively (like doing only knights), or use as keystone for a unified imperial force that has the index units at the head but can also incorporate units from the 4 main armies
>>96561234Why? Sororitas is a nice and fully expanded range. Same with GK. They're just old models. You're trying to fix one army, DW (space marines) by killing two armies? Just fold DW back into space marines. Make a DW detachment and be done with it. +1 to hit and wound and damage against xenos. Strong enough to be great into it's intended matches, and useless into anything else, as a balancing factor. Done.
>>96561206Nominally Robert g but all he really does is direct then Indomitus Crusade and the Imperium's wars.
>>96561260sorry man, that would be fewer books to sell you and therefore less money to make.
>>96560998Thx for posting, interesting read
>>96561259eldar and squats are both extremely decentralised, way more than the imperium, while orks and necrons may claim to have a supreme ruler in this or that other figure, but there are always a lot of cracks in the chain of command as well
>>96561264>>96561260All the Militant Chambers sell as well as Deldar, and Deldar are leaving us soon. You don't want to join them do you? Of course Imperial Agents is the worst selling codex in the game.
bought a box of jump intercessors to finish my 1000 point starter army. the sprue connection points are insane and the mould lines are like out of a 90s plastic kit. they need to move production to china asap as these brits are incompetent.
>ultramarines got as much figures in one day as dark eldars in 15 years
>>96561293No calm down. Ultramarines got as many models as Deldar lost, both in 1 day.
We are on the Verge of losing Deldar after 27 years of being a Codex in 40k, but we recently got a new "Xenos" army in Votann. How does this make you feel?
>>96560725Looks good
What kind of unit do (You) want to see for your respective Chaos God aligned legion
>>96561307Quit being histrionic. We're not losing DEldar. They're just getting sidelined for two years til all the new sculpts are ready
>>96561293you must adjust your scopethis is what they got since their 5th ed codex
>>96561319DEldar are getting deleted in 12th edition.
>>96561322Look at all those named heros YIPEE
>>965613273 named heros is not that many, especially when they came alongside more generic heroes too
>>96561335That's 20% of the new units anon.
>>96561165I dont think that's ever the reason they put stuff in starters. First off, considering GW's stock problems over the last half decade, it seems unlikely that they are overproducing many units ever.Secondly, starter boxes are usually one of the best selling items for their army. So it's really unlikely that they would have enough unsold stock of one kit to make a significant dent in the number of kits they need to fill the starters.Especially when we're talking about more of a niche, Elite unit like Dire Avengers.
>>96560611You must be mistaken. Those are not cadians or Krieh, they will not get anything.
>>96561318>slaaneshi will cheat here and say doomrider with sonic bikes>tzeentchdaemon engine, sekhetar are not that>khornetheir sniper/havoc unit or blood surgeon>nurglemelee plague marines or full flame/plaguethrower unit, short range stuff>undividedi would say elite possessed from heresy time but thats just eightbound again which ironically makes it most likely to happen
>>96561318Some mutated demon engine would be cool for tsons.
>>96561322Three of those have already been retired, lol
>>96561318To get back in their codex.
>>96561366that's hardly bad when 2 of those 3 were forge world resin and the third was universally reviled and got a seemingly positive update.
>>96561349>You must be mistaken. space wolves are not black templars or dark angels, they will not get anything.That's how dumb you sound.
>>96561322I dont think Dark Eldar players are in a place to complain while Craftworld Eldar still have the ancient Dire Avengers, Shining Spears, and Farseer on bike kits. Let's get regular Eldar up to snuff before devoting attention to their Goth friends.
>>96561394Cadians and Krieg actually mattered. Catachan, not so much.
>>96561198>Someone bothered to remember my stupid /mydudes/ league nameI'm touched, anon
>>96561397>Shining Spears, and Farseer on bike kits.>ancient
>>96561397>>96561322I always found it weird how the greater Eldar race has had at times four armies dedicated to themselves, only real faction other than Imperium and Chaos to have more than one army at a time, until Tyranids got GSC in 7th. When I have never believed they have had the sales to justify this. They are eating each-other now.
>>96561025I kitbashed fancy poses holding the chainswords only basically.>>96561034Got it
>>96561214sadly i have no spare bits except stuff from infernus marines and a knight. would it be easier to get a friend to 3d print the weapons and head ? :(
>>96561435The lead designer in 3rd edition fucking loved Eldar and they are his favorite still to this day.
>>96561397couldve at least went with wave serpent bro...>>96561435if not for the reception of the totally-not-eternity-king-yvrainne they'd probably go down to 1 with maaaaybe a splat down the line
>>96561397I don't think any Xenos are in a place to complain while there are still Horus Heresy units in resin.
>>96561464Woah passion? That doesn't make the stock price go up. Good riddance
>>96561475But Horus Heresy not even in top-10 best selling miniatures lines
Does anyone have images of the jump pack of the old blood angels chaplain that had the wings?
>>96561487
>>96561028Black with reddish edge highlighting (below the metal trim) giving them an internal fiery look.
>>96561487I have one unassembled but its at home. Ill post one on the weekend
>>96561405Counterpoint, Cadians and Krieg are gay and lame, Catachans are cool
>>96561544>Soldiers wearing close is gay>Oily shirtless men is straight
>>96561550>CloseIt's noon, why did I misspell cloths
>>96561550>>96561569For the same reason you misspelled clothes.Also yes.
>>96561544Based
>>96561544Catachans aren't cool.They are vietcong shit and america lost that war, it's an army of losers. And that's not cool.
>>96561394If we are comparing regiments to chaptersCadians are Ultramarines (normies think that all guards are cadians)Kreig are the Imperial Fists (reddits favorite, lots of "memes" made about them)
>>96561600Krieg are Iron Warriors.Both are trench autists and siegetards. And there's lot of memes of them.
>>96561598>They are vietcong shit and america lost that war, it's an army of losersYeah but the North Vietnamese won and if the Catchans are the North Vietnamese they are the winners an army of winners in fact.
>>96561609Iron Warriors aren't a chapter
>>96561612>if the Catchans are the North VietnameseThey clearly are american. This is a bad cope.
>>96561618But they are a warband, which are same as chapters but chaos.
>>96561619You said it though? You said the Catchans were Viet Cong, the Viet Cong were North Vietnam funded revolutionaries.
>>96561406Nta but it’s better than the coal farts or frozen gay men. Easier to remember than generic marine slop chapter #69
>>96561598Cadians aren't cool.They are black crusade shit and cadia lost they war, it's an army of losers. And that's not cool.
>>96561638I call them vietcong because I don't care about military history.
>>96561646People who don't care about things generally don't bring them up unprompted.
>>96561652It's not unprompted. Catachan is inspired by vietcong shit.It is on-topic.
>>96561657You just said they weren't inspire by the North Viennese.
>>96561204No. Only the High Lords of Terra can legally create a new chapter. Though special dispensation can be made, for example if a chapter somehow goes overstrength and they don’t try to hide it. The extra dudes can be rounded up and used as part of a new founding. Usually through the high lords declare one as part of a major campaign to stabilize places. Gman can also basically just wave his hand and have them founded too but he’s a primarch.
>>96561475That's a specialist game for people too nerdy and foolish with money to be satisfied by 40k. You have no right to complain, you did it to yourself.
>>96561663I call them vietcong because I don't care about military history or their real name.
is there a guard regiment based on the war of northern agression?
>>96561689Dixie shit does exist, yes.
>>96561687...but if they were inspired by Viet Cong then they are an army of winners because the Viet Cong won the war. You said they were an army of losers, you seem to care about them being an army of losers a lot.
>>96561689I think some sort of confederate regiment is featured in the book Fire Caste
>>96561700I mean they lost plenty...we just got bored and left.
>>96561700The viet cong didn’t win, they just got slaughtered in job lots for some PR stunts that amounted to military failures. The NVA won the war. So they’d be winners if based off the regular army and not the pajama jungle fighters.
>>96561397This is a falseflag meant to sow conflict between xenos.
>>96561727This is a very Tzeentchian response anon.
>>96561700They are inspired by the americans who are losers.I call them vietcong because I have no respect for america.
>>96561748...but nobody who reads your post will understand what you mean
>>96561752Clearly you understand.
>>96561763After we hashed it out over half an hour.

>>96560852Thanks anon, just some stritland mud with a little bit of red paint
>>96561113There are kits/easy bashes to extend the Storm Raven into something closer to the Storm Eagle as well.They shouldn't have legends it >:(
