It's a shame that the different religions of the Imperium got sidelined to the point people think that everyone thinks that the Emperor is god. That's just what the Ministorum pushes.

I disagree. Battlesuits look almost perfect. I don’t see the proportion issue you mentioned. Even the old suits are still great, though their ankles are brittle as fuck.

>>96569130
I think an update that just lengthened their legs a bit would be perfect, and also I'd like them to actually include 6 of each weapon now that they have preset loadouts. You can't build a unit of sunforge suits from just one box, you need to get extra fusion blasters from either another box or a commander or something

>>96569203
If we ever see the return of proper subfactions outside of space marines then maybe, but I doubt it. Even the fusion blades enhancement in EPC doesn't turn them into melee weapons. If they do a crisis suit refresh soon then maybe they'd add them as an option but I doubt they want to lock a weapon option to enclaves. Knowing them they'd just release them as a $30 upgrade sprue anyway
>>
>>96569220
>Knowing them they'd just release them as a $30 upgrade sprue anyway
old GW would just put the option in the codex and NEVER print it, nowadays they'd do a refresh and include it in sprue or do it edition after refresh/put it in kill team

So far it looks like GW listened to people complaining about their Alien Alliance aspect being lacking and so decided to push them into this direction. Tau proper and their Mechs are plentiful and look good. Meanwhile Kroot are due Knarloc refresh which are OOP resin and other auxiliaries still don't have models

I'm going to laugh when Cosairs drastically under perform Harlequins who died to make room.

Just a heads up with the degreaser cause you had your nails done in the other photo, make sure you wear gloves even will rinsing models that you've just pulled out of the stripper. It'll really mess with your skin and cuticles and potentially dull or strip the gel coat/top coat on your nails

Golden throne is just emperors unorthodox memefolder.

>>96569249
and when daemons do get more focus, they'll be merged with random bits of technology like the gellerpox guys and the old FW GUO

this way, the new kits will be locked to 40k.

I don't understand, I thought harlequins were popular enough. Its GW's own fault for not fleshing out their range. they literally needed 2 more units or let them take more shit in their lists.

idk I'm just hoping I can take corsairs, deldar raiders, and mandrakes in the same list.

You know nothing of admech and their religion then, the worship of the human as divine is pretty paramount.
Replacing parts with machinery to create a blend is a large part of it, not getting rid of all flesh.

>best model line
Craftworld Eldar easily. An up-to-date line, resin free, with refreshes that respect the original beloved models. A variety of infantry, heavy infantry robots, and anti grav tanks. even the 28 year old models like the vyper and falcon hold up well. Even if we consider how it’s been to be an elf collector over the past 30 years, and you’ve always had “pretty good models” if you’re a CWE player.

>runner up
Generic CSM. some of the older models are too goofy and kinda bad, and there’s lots of monopose sucky models still like the obliterators, but I think the current line up is much better than the loyalist or any of the cult marines.

It's a vehicle edition. Most armies have been balanced around the idea that you're running at least 3 vehicles or more at 2k. Tau even more so I'd imagine giving their higher proportion of vehicle kits.

Cosairs are super silly thing to make an army out of, I don't understand how this isn't going to be bargin bin CraftWorld.

Corsairs won't be a full Codex, they'l be a Campaign Book supplement of units and a detachment (every faction will get an extra one for the End of Edition books, to encourage purchases), they'll all be rolled into the Eldar Codex next edition.

>>96569336
maybe they'll be what ynarri wanted to be and be the soup faction.

>>96569340
I think they should just use 11th edition as the excuse to soup all the elves. I don't realistically understand why people wouldn't want that as it leads to a wider variety of cool models, a wider variety of kitbash opportunities, a wider variety of playstyles, and a huge opportunity to add a lot of new stuff to the lore, while being able to keep bits of the old lore intact

I don't understand why they don't use 11th as an excuse to soup all the Imperium armies

How exactly do you think souping all of the elves leads to a wider variety of modeling opportunities? All those models already exist right now and souping them together just means slower release schedules shared within the one super faction.

We should use 11th to redo 9th edition, so that by 20th edition we have evolved back into Rouge Trader.

>Cosairs are super silly thing to make an army out of, I don't understand how this isn't going to be bargin bin CraftWorld.
People really like their Kill Team and Visarch. Prince Yriel needs a model too.
Fuck, it makes so much sense. That supposed piratebowl at the end of edition with Red Corsairs and Huron has a cool theme. Dark Heresy cRPG shilling Corsairs and Kroot inb4 2nd wave in 11th edition. Rogue Trader shilling Trazyn. Everything seems to fit Valrak's leaks more and more the longer I think of it.

I wouldn't complain about that either, I'd love to be able to run all the cool inquisition stuff, with all the cool marine stuff, with all the cool custodes stuff and all the cool sisters stuff. I think at the very least there should always be some sort of option to build up a force of really converted dudes for every army. I don't think Imperium and chaos players should get to have all that fun to themselves, I think everyone should be able to if that's what they want to do

By giving an in universe reason for all the elf factions to share and trade equipment thus leading to a wider range of options for modelers looking to make cool stuff

>>96569445
Skyrays are better atm due to the proliferation of invulnerable saves making it risky to rely on a one shot weapon even if it has dev wounds. It’ll still work well into marines. Land raiders are hilariously easy to kill.

Imperium needs better souping rules through Imperial agents. Or split it up into Space Marine soup, Inquisition soup, and Mecha-Militarum soup.
Chaos needs better souping rules through Agents of Chaos or just turn Black Legion into the souping faction.
Every xenos Army needs to have two armies with a shared Detachment like Aeldari and Drukhari have Ynnari and Corsairs. Or Tyranids and GSC. Make Grots their own army. Make Kroot their own army. Make Destroyer cult their own army. Make Ironkyn their own army.

>>96569451

That is already the canonical explanation. That's like saying admech should be added into guard to allow more guard conversions

What do you mean? The only annoying thing I remember about Eldar wraithknights in 7th was that they were fucking gargantuan creatures, so poison and sniper only worked on a 6+, and Eldar had easy access to invisiblity so you would have to fire snaps shots at it.
I remember 7th ed's power creep going nuts when necrons came out with their formation-formation, but besides invisibility the actual rule set was pretty solid, which is why HH used it for so long before the refresh.

Ah so it's not 500word shooting phase, it's just a list of all its USR because the GC unit type had few attached to it.
Yeah USR bloat was annoying to read up on, but I never actually ran into an issue with it in all my years playing, and the big problems with rules like that started in 8th ed because the rules writers kept writing similar rules but slightly differently causing different ways to abuse them, like Abbadon's reroll ALL hits.

Yes, you can't experience emotions, change, or live as a real person. Blanks/pariahs do have souls, it's more like a polarity thing. Their have negative souls and feel emotions just like ordinary people, so soulless is a bit of a misnomer. Necrons don't have souls and it sucks for them.

I prefer 7th edition rules over everything after it. Lot more fun than the bland shit we got with 10th.
>>
>>96569918
Well when you said 500 words to describe a shooting phase it sounded real off, then the screenshot was just going through its USR's.
I'm not gonna lie and say 7th didn't have problems, but GW's fix to it in 8th by scrapping USR's and just putting units rules on their datasheet kinda didn't work either because you had the similar rules that acted very different depending on the circumstances because all the rules writers weren't just using a USR template, which caused a lot of hijinks.
They've definitely fixed the similar but not the same rules problem, but in the process 40k has become a lot more lifeless.
>>
>>96569956
Because even if it's the worst it's ever been for a time period, it's still 40k and still cool, it's just the worst version of it. People still drank New Coke even though it was shit.

8th edition feels like it fundamentally changed the game both in terms of fluff and gameplay. They clearly didn’t expect the return if Guilliman to be such an insanely popular success and the tone started shifting. Not saying this is good or bad, just an observation

It is very different to what you originally described, if you were required a 500word essay to explain a single shooting phase that would be terrible, but a couple of USR that interact with certain instances during the whole game is a lot more digestable at least.
Book bloat was definitely an issue during the later parts of 7th, but you if you had your rule book and codex you were still perfectly able to run you army without internal issues.
The biggest issue was barrier of entry for new players, hearing that a units able to move and shoot heavy weapons because they're relentless would, but Eldar can run and shoot they're weapons because of they're army specific rule battle focus would definitely be frustrating and confusing, so gw made the 8th ed index's with datasheet rules to compensate, but personally after repeated instances of people in 10th struggling to run 750pt games in a short period of time because of constant rules checking I'm starting to think GW has made a mistake for trying to chase the lowest common denominator for the sake of profit.

Saturnine denialfags were btfo and he correctly leaked DoWIV and correctly claimed that it won't be made by Relic and instead by Iron Harvest devs. That's not something you can just made up
That's off the top of my head and very recently. I also remember him predicting stuff like Lion coming explicitly with 4 head options which means he is actually fed info by GW and not just making shit up and being a broken clock right twice a day

He is also retarded and his own predictions are dumb. Also he is a sloptuber who has to constantly churn out content, no matter what. So he will report on anything, no matter how valid and reasonable it is. Like when he made a video out of a random /40kg/ post like few years ago.

Absolutely, USR bloat was getting out of hand a lot of the time due to power creep of units having more and more USR attached to them. I do still think it's good core rules concept, which is why I've enjoyed it's return in HH 2.0/3.0.
It's hard to say that GW should have made the USR system more digestable because they do that in the BRB rules formatting, but once formations started coming out that gave more rules that weren't always even USR's to units people definitely started struggling to keep track of everything, which caused the book bloat because they started bring out supplements for early 7th codices that didn't have formations.
Like 10th, 7th rule set is actually pretty solid, but 10th ed struggles to not have bland codex rules, while 7th struggled with just the scale and amount of codics and army rules, which is why I always say that playing 7th ed with the codex lineup up until necrons were released is generally a very fun experience.
>>
>>96570098
8th edition because that was the last one that still had a LOT of units still in rules/codices. Imperial Guard lost the guard factions in 9th, as well as a ton of units.

I see no reason to play past 8th.

Also I just so happened to have made a huge nob biker army in recent years, with the forgeworld warboss and everything. Now that isn't playable in the current rules.

They're trying to do both essentially, kroot carnivores have great synergy with a battlesuit/vehicle heavy list in that they're the perfect cheap cannon fodder unit for objective grabbing. Rampagers are also pretty great right now as they have some of the only good melee in the entire range. Vespids are great for secondaries.

Ok im biting 40k bullet literally after having fun with ToW and AoS spearhead. Chose Orks as my 40k jam, and got the Kill Team box + New boyz for a start. Should I just wait for the range refresh ( head something is coming next edition) or grab something else to work towards for ?

Oh I've done that, it does help to break up the big plates, but I mean you can't do something like this (certainly not in an army scale). This is a simply black and blue combination but it looks interesting due to the design of the actual armour, it won't work on flat marine plates.
...though maybe now that I think about it maybe I can think about something with black and blue. I usually always pint my stuff in warm tones so maybe trying some cold tones for a change might help.

I can just post it if you're interested. I've got a little bit written up for them

Malakim's Ante were a small strike team of Lamenters, sent off to the far reaches of the galaxy to reclaim lost wargear in hopes of bolstering the diminished armory of the chapter. While searching the edge of the Ghoul Star's they received a call from Baal claiming a massive Tyranid hivefleet was approaching the homeworld of the Blood Angels and that their assistance was required to help fend off the assault. Upon setting off through the warp for Baal they encountered a massive warp storm and became stranded for what felt like 100 days. Unbeknownst to them, this was the machinations set forth by the great Khorne Daemon Prince Cha'gath Akz'Hur, who continually cast teeming hordes of daemonic entities upon the castaway marines. During their time spent within the space between realities, a large portion of their forces became stricken with the curse carried by their progenitors, known as the Red Thirst and Black Rage. Large portions of the strike team were lost to the infighting, and those that survived carried with them a great shame left from delivering the Emperors Peace to their former brethren. Those that carried the burden of felling the most of their kin became known as The Benevolent, and began to paint their armour in colours of mourning, as a means of recognizing the great sin they had committed. Eventually the warp entity seemed to grow tired of toying with the marines and spat them out into the orbit of Baal where they could witness the true destruction that befell the once great homeworld. Stricken with the grief of losing their brothers, the shame of failing to aid the Blood Angels in time, they set out on the galaxy with a new quest. One of hatred. One of revenge. To seek out the dark forces that tore their family asunder, they now patrol the edge of the Great Rift stalking whatever occult evils that unfortunately find themselves in their path.

There's a weird interaction with the mechanics. Since they started the game on the table and went to strategic reserves from the table rather than starting the game in reserves, they become re-positioned units can thus can be set up on the table via deep strike on round one, provided you go 2nd. Rules regarding setting up stuff via deep strike/reserves are not part of the core rules, but the mission rules and the new chapter approved 25-26 or whatever the fuck its called states;
>Reserves units cannot arrive on the battlefield during the first battle round (excluding units placed into Strategic Reserves during the battle).
So you place your Neophytes into reserves at the end of your opponent via return to shadows, then set them up on your turn in round 1.
I used to rapid ingress with the neophytes to get the detachment bonus and overwatch with them vs. non-shooting armies but with the primus nerfed into ground it's no longer feasible for 2CP. I'm gonna try doing this to see what kind of damage it can cause.

The other option would be to kit bash then. Layer it atop the Space Marine armor like the tabbards and cloaks of Veterans and specialty characters.

At the very least, I did like that they didn't give him a "normal face, daemon face, ball-gag helmet face" and just gave him various expressions of the same face. And a helmet face with ball-gag.

We finally got some confirmation of the intentions of the Emperor regarding Space Marines and humanity.
Malcador said that transhumans will never rule mankind and that this is the command of the Emperor.
Guy Haley said that Roboute is going against the Emperor's wishes of having humans rule rather than Space Marines.

Why was the Emperor so adamant about humans ruling when Space Marines are superior in every way?
The Era of Ruin even suggests that the Emperor was going to Thunder Warrior the Space Marines.

This is really bad for the loyalists because all of this affirms the position of traitors like Abaddon. Abaddon was right about the Emperor denying the Space Marines their right to rule what they bled to build. The Space Marines were betrayed by the Emperor. The rebellion was honest and just after all.

The part where Malcador Force chokes Horus.
The other source is the Warhammer+ interview with Guy Haley. Also, in his novel "The Silent King" it's shown in the ending that Roboute is grooming mariners to be leaders of the Imperium rather than just warriors. It is said he hasn't given up on his dream of having marines be rulers.

I usually apply rule of thirds, subject never goes to the centre. The light is pretty dim at where we play so I need to crank up ISO to 3200 and shoot at f/2.8 so the depth of field is way thinner than I want, having such a narrow field of view makes it thin as well. Maybe I can get a small tripod and crank it to f8, I can't go lower than 1/60 by hand on this lens so the aperture needs to be wide.
But yeah thanks for letting me know.

I like Shadowsun's lore. When we first see her in Farsight's novels, she comes off as a bitch, but seeing her growth in her books made her the best character in 40K. Everyone thinks Farsight is cool but Shadowsun carries the entire Tau Empire on her shoulders and looks awesome while doing it.

IDK if you're still here but if you want a 2k point list here's what you can do in 10th right now
>Hammer of the Emperor (Obviously)
>Take two of the Demolishers and run them as Leman Russ Tank Commanders. Give one Calm Under Fire for more Orders, [235pts each, +15 for the enhancement. 485pts total].
>Take all three Vanquishers (Current 40k is very vehicle/monster heavy, so its special rule + being the cheapest Russ point-wise is a good boon for it) [145pt each, 920pt total]
>Take three Chimeras, load em up with 10 Cadians each. [Chimeras are 85 pts each, Cadians 65 for each 10 man blob. 1370pts total]
>Take both Scout (support) Sentinels for early scouting and the rerolls. [55 points each, 1480 total]
With about 500 points remaining you got two options
>A) More bodies
Add a 4th group of Cadians + a Chimera, brings you up to 1630. Add in a Leman Russ Battle Tank and an Eradicator and you're left with 15 points to slap Indomitable Steed onto the other Tank Commander.
>B) Bigger Bodies
Choose your favorite Baneblade Variant and throw it in the pile for the hell of it (Take note the Tank Commanders can't give the Baneblades orders). Fill the remaining points with whatever can fit in.

Also post your tanks, at the very least your Macharius variants.

Starting this edition, closer to the end. 10th removed subfactions so GW could take more liberties.

High quality resin is a treat to work with. Especially boutique stuff like hera, spiramirabilis, pegaso etc. You'll find it's some of the most crisp material to work with and when casted with care can far outshine the nicest injection moulded plastic stuff in terms of mouldlines

Not anymore dangerous to glue really, but you should moisten your mini, and sandpaper and wear a mask. You can also just use your knife to slice the mouldlines off if you're super worried about resin dust, boutique resin tends to have much thinner mouldlines than wargaming stuff so they're easier to trim off

For the most part I like Eldar for their Aesthetic. I do like the dichotomy of them being disciplined and cultured in their daily lives but remorseless, bloodthirsty killers when they put their war mask. I think the concept of their most hated god being the one that they are forced to rely on and emulate interesting and I like how feral they get when the Avatar walks. Also space wizards are cool. Also also putting the spirit of a long dead hero into a freaky bone robot is cool.

Orikan divined that the Necrons had two options; destroy the Eldar in a renewed war that would damage the Cosmos, or go into the Great Sleep and just wait for the Eldar to destroy themselves. Szarekh decided to go with the latter to prevent the galaxy from being severely damaged.
The Eldar also realized that they couldn't fight the Necrons, hence why they didn't go after the tombs during the reign of the Eldar Empire.

The great sleep did immense damage to the Necron race, billions upon billions of currently irreplaceable necrons were rendered unwakable from the great sleep. Onset of various curses ravenge Necron population, faster than they did before.
Anyway even if it was the right descion, that's still running away because you believe the outcome of war to be worse than accepting the loss.

The outcome would be victory and eradication of the Eldar but they'd have to look for a new Galaxy and that's what The Silent King did. He went on to search for a new Galaxy. We don't know what he found but he's hell bent on ascend ding his people to C'Tan like beings rather than getting their bodies back. I don't think anything good is beyond our Galaxy in 40k.

In the end Orks were a nothingburger and Eldar were too weak without their masters The Old Ones (who got exterminated) to wake up Necrons and destroy them. They didn't even attempt to wake them up out of fear.

>>96571711
That is of course not counting all the loses that have occurred thanks to peacemeal awakening, thanks to rising right up through the territory of the Imperium or an Ork Empire. Entire Dynastys destroyed because the Necron can't provide a united front thanks to the great Sleep.

For real? Got any quotes? This is just too ridiculous in universe to be true.

The necron lords having an autistic sense of honour is one of the cool things about them.

Sorry I was just saying even if true, it's a retarded thing to do. Being mad at faction becuase one politcally obessed moron wrote some nonsense.
>>
>>96571971
I'm not mad. Flabbergasted is probably the better word, and given Mike Brooks' chronic political leanings, it is something he would do even at the compromise of his story's quality.

Why does nobody talk about this even though it's pretty much the first black library story (and one of the few that are actually good like the Redeemer)?

>>96572143
an anon is filtering decalfag's posts and decalfag is being a whiner about it.

What is the best part about the story?

>>96572126

So now that the retard has minimized the entire thread, I guess we'll all just post models and discuss 40k without him.
All is well.

If you have a problem with decalfag can you perhaps express it in a way that doesn't flood the thread with worthless spam posts
>>
>>96572173
it's less about having a problem with someone and more about everyone else seeing him having a problem
it's typical general thread pennylicker behavior.
>>
>>96572173
to be clear I have not done anything negative or in poor behavior so what is he upset about?
>>
>>96572181
I don't really care what his problem is, just the result of it in the thread. Please don't bother replying to posts like his, shitflinging just causes a stink for everyone else, even when you're in the right.

When the torturer guy dies and gets mad because he isn't being tortured. There are so many scenes in this story that feel like they're straight out of Conan and other classic Sword and Sorcery.
>>
I hope the Victrix guard do stuff that isn’t just BGV’s but Ultramarines because I spent way too much time painting mine.

Sounds amazing, givin me goosebumps

>>96572208
lol I legit laughed out loud at the pic

I do like the classic Conan fantasy vibe a lot. I'd never heard of that Bloodquest one before, but if its anything like the redeemer it'll be a lot of fun. Might give it a shot
>>
I take it the new codexes for the Grey Knights, Black Templars, and the Leagues are currently being scanned? Or have they already been liberated? I keep checking the M3G4, but I’m not seeing them there. Also, can someone kindly please upload a copy of the Wolves codex that isn’t shit for quality? The photo compilation is hard to read.

Based on their bones the may be avian based. But to call them "uplifted" really downplays how much the Old Ones do. When making a race like the Eldar or Krork, the Old Ones most likely either created them outright out of raw genetic material they made themselves or picked one or more primitive animals and spliced them then hyperevolved them in a way the leaves no trace of ancestry or vestigial organs. Orks couldn't evolve without being made in a lab.

I recall there being an Emperor's Children marine with the big tentacle dick. That may have been fa/tg/uy fanfiction though.
