>>96580047WrongThere are more Leman Russ tanks made in Armageddon alone in a year than Spacemarine miniatures ever fucking made

Can't decide between raven guard and blood angels
Get it trending. We will not go quietly into the night.
Reposting from last thread, swapped out the pathfinders for stealth suits.this is my first attempt making a tau list in about 10years. I'd love some C&C, I guess my general idea is peppering the opponent enough to allow my breachers to rush in and steal some objectives, I might be a bit light on troops so I think I might consider dropping the broadsides for more breachers.Also when I get around to it I'll be interested in seeing how the Xv9's go reducing the enemies movement, because then I might invest in getting some more.
>>96580139Who?
>>96580149Senior editor of Warhammer community who is getting harassed by Arch and his goons
>>96580139>>96580152>cheering for someone's deathFuck off.Why the fuck are you baiting using someone's death? It's a real person for fuck sake, and all you thought about was >How can I get (you)s on /40kg/ out of it?Get a grip
>>96580152Oh noI like Warhammer community
reposting once for the new thread before i head to sleep: this is my haul from my LGSs nearby for building my ultramarines army !so far im only missing uriel ventris, a scout squad, 2 ballistus dreadnoughts and 2 storm speeders. tomorrow im going to pick up a couple of layer paints to round out my collection the finish line is in sight lads !
Anyone have an idea as to what I can proxy this as.
>>96580065I have never considered a Hollow Knight 40k crossover. The Knight would be a demon prince in 40k though, since he becomes a monstrous god by the end of it
>>96580159>Over priced primer
>>96580152>Arch doing something based for onceAnd I'm supposed to give a shit because...?
>>96580074You sure have posted this a lot in the last three years.
>>96580152it's called freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences hun ;)
>>96580178Hell yeah
>>96580159>boxpostingyou're speedrunning your way to being one of the most annoying posters in this thread
>>96580197? i cant exactly post models i dont have assembled yet....plus there's also the paints and primer there so idk what ur mad abt.....buying these made me really happy so im sharing the joy with the 40kg frens
>>96580178>archivefaggot
>>96580207Ignore the thread schizo.
>>96580159maybe i'm out of the loop but i'm pretty sur the corvus blackstar is deathwatch only

>>96580159>hasn't built even a single miniature yet>"the finish line is in sight lads !"Stop buying and start painting.
>>96580207Boxposting is frowned upon here newfag, especially spamming the same boxpost .ore than once
>>96580065Working on the tomb world terrain. I'll have to head out to stock up on some paints for the energy and something thats a lighter shade of black for the blackstone
>>96580159Where feet?
>>96580065Marinepiggies really are just ponyfags, huh
>>96580256Yes
>>96580065>Thread Question>whats your current project?couple tanks for my CSMAfter that I might go back to gunpla for a little bit, I've got a few boxes of that still to work on
>>96580256We are literally encouraged to make our own Donutsteel OCs
>>9658025640kfags are just ponyfags. It's exactly the same thing.
>>96580261By brainlessly defacing FOTM properties like a ponyfag?
>>96580261Nobody encouraged you to make gay shit
>>96580162Nothing without substantial kitbashing and conversion.
>>96580065>TQI had Scylla Light tanks printed and while I plan to paint strip the tank I will repaint it to better colours.

>>96580159Don't listen to haters, as long as you make actual steady progress you're good.
>>96580159I wish you all the best, anon.Keep your coats thin and your hands steady and you'll do a better job at painting than I did.
Will you buy?
>>96580258Surprised the chaos hatch fits, it looks good
>>96580294Is that real? Link if real?
>>96580301anon...
>>96580305Oh.Well played.
>>96580225Mods are asleep or else this based warhammer community gentleman's social media messages would be deleted off this board game website forum.
>>96580301That's not cultist chan, look at the Ban Dai logo lol
>>96580162>snailYou should use it for skeet shooting honestly.
>>96580279I'll be honest.I though this picture was a pair tits in a grey shirt at first glance.
>>96580334That's okay. I thought the Cultist Chan figure was real. So arguably worse.
https://youtu.be/CJcZgdZEq0MSo now that the dust has settled, was GW right to add a few women to the Custodes and retcon them as always having been there? How much damage or improvement did it do to the setting?
IWbros we eating good? Should surely be good to kitbash with regular CSM parts
>>96580301this nigga fell for the abominable intelligence
>>96580065finish building votan then spray them and get to BR with markers since im lazy and then work on some tauwhat i did wish i had the will to push through with due to some internal hillarity is a deathleaper in colors of one of the SoB orders, maybe even lil diorama of him about to mindflay some battle sister (i know they're not exactly mindflayers but with that head cmon)
>>96580340In retrospect I think it may have been the right choice if it was to keep the you-know-who-hands off space marines. Some faction had to fall on it's sword in the stead of the space marines and I guess it had to be the Custodes that do that. Is it an improvement? Nah.But the setting would have suffered worse if the Custodes did not make their sacrifice.
>>96580345>stripesROFLMAO
>>96580074vtumors should all be burried 6 feet deep into concrete Alive, preferably
>>96580350By the Omnissiah I see it now. I am never gonna recover. AI has gone too far.
>>96580225>>96580340Ok I think I've had enough, this cesspool has been so fucking bad these past couple of days holy shit
>>96580345The helmets and legs look pretty good yea. I like the boosters too.
>>96580363>AI has gone too far.wild to think what it'll be like in a couple more years
I like the cover.
>>96580367Just remember, you're here for life!>>96580382Yea, I'll be picking this one up. Mike Brooks is a good writer and I met him at the grocery store once and he was a nice enough chap.
You guys hyped for the new Eldar book?They're finally free of Gav Thorpe and they're out there and proud.
>>96580358That seems rather excessive
>>96580391Yes.
>>96580391That's a cool colour palette.
>>96580391>mike brooksIm glad I abandoned the prospect of collecting this faction. Its one humiliation ritual after another for this army.
>>96580378More people will fall for it like I have that's for sure.
>>96580391>mike brooksTaking bets on which of his fetishes he puts in this time.My money's on cuckoldry/polyamory.
>>96580420Qt
>>96580142Any C&C? Please :(
>>96580294does it have a silicon anus?
>>96580178Based
>>96580419There's a Craftworld Eldar falling in with the Corsairs right? I don't think he's ever written them before but they a history of catching strays in his Dark Eldar books so I'm sure there will be some kind of critique of their highly regimented society of emotional repression and personality disassociation.
>>96580178this image should be a bannable offense
I really wish that combat force for HH had a predator instead of that robot thing so I could buy 2 for a csm army.
>>96580382>eldar pirates versus ork piratesOkay this might be incredibly based actually
>>96580465Space marines are all the same group
>>96580481You can tell because they have 5 Codexes
>>96580481Nah, you're thinking about the imperial guard
>>96580420This chapter was better when i thought they were just femboys instead of f*male space marines
>>96580480I want to see eldar corsairs, ork pirates and votann pioneers form a galactic axis of plunder and black trade
>>96580504Dogs of War codex in 40k would be sick as fuck.
>>96580508thats just agents
>>96580512agents is a bunch of cops and priests and cia spooks and shit.I want orks, humans, eldar, votann etc all united in a motley crue army of big personalities in it for money, the adventure and the fight.
>>96580512agents is just imperials
>>96580523>>96580518sorry I forgot xenos and chaos existed for a second.
>10 days left until the collage deadlineHow are your entries going? I really gotta get off my ass and start painting.
>>96580382I think corsairs are actually the thing that might make Eldar cool and interesting.
>>96580526Not sure if I'll get everything in to finish it before the end of the month but I have all week off from work next week. I'm trying to do an entire kitbashed squad.
>>96580382>Mike BooksEldar really can't catch a break. Good thing is that it's his last 40k book (according to him) as he decided to write his own stuff now.
>>96580065I'm working on trying to kit bash/paint my guardsmen into mutated traitor guard.
>>96580555>Good thing is that it's his last 40k bookSo he's torching the faction on his way out the door then?
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96580555>Good thing is that it's his last 40k book (according to him) as he decided to write his own stuff now.Nooo! Source? I love mike brooks!
>>96580526mostly doneI was going to base him this weekend but might just goof off and do it later
>>96580525Don't worry, that happens to the worst of us.
>>96580081You need new material.
How to build seer council detachment? Bunch of guardians and warlocks?
Are there any good sites where I can get firstborn Black Templar bits. I was thinking about using some of the Horus Heresy kits to convert a 4th edition style army, but I need some Mark VII helmets and bits.>inb4 just use primaris bitsI'll probably use the shoulder pads, but I'm looking for extra Mark VII backpacks and helmets and I'm not sure I want to buy a whole tactical squad for bits.
>>96580631Hours. Heresy
>Ultramarines primaris upgrade sprue removed from GW's websiteIt's about time UM got a new one like the other big SM chapters
>>96580637Anon, don't jinx it, please.
>>96580166nta but i consistently have good results with GW primer. I tried army painter once and it didn't work as well.
What's the hottest mini you've ever seen?
>>96580632Is that what would've happened if Little Horus rebelled?
>>96580653It's certainly not from Warhammer
>>96580653most KDM pinups are pretty damn hot
>>96580666Was gonna post KDM but you beat me to it.
What the fuck is this choiceAm I really supposed to find the increased chance of getting morties against one type of enemy worth all the other trade-offs?
I swear the amount of detail on these guys is staggering, I've been basecoating metal deatils for two days.
>>96580701at least they don't have 2 meters of elaborate trim I guess
>>96580653yeah kdm is an easy win
>>96580696I admit I've had luck with combi weapons on chaos terminators but yeah on sternguard no chance
>>96580701Take the grimdark pill, brotherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AKB-pzLtQU
>>96580719>paint your minis in a way that only looks good on a black background with carefully prepared lightinggrimdark is a meme that only works for instagram pictures
>>96580706>mfw this set is only available in US warehouse so shipping to EU is really expensiveI guess I'll get it during the black friday sale they always do
>>96580725Aside from that being incorrect, most minis tend to look much better given a close up shot with the right light and background cause surprise surprise, the naked human eye tends to not always see every tiny detail in its beautiful detail, why do you think people paint minis most of the time with magnifying glasses?
>>96580701Every time I hear people describe how fucking easy it is to paint deathguard I realize they were talking about the aos range rather than the actual deathguard line instead. Plaugemarines have way to fucking much detail to be considered a starter army, fuckin hell.
>>96580139I hope than Brooks will be fired too
>>96580754He's a freelancer, not an employee. He can't actually be fired.
>>96580751Plague marines are low skill floor high skill cap.You can make them look presentable by just sploshing contrast on them. Or you go full autist and paint every tiny maggot individually
>>96580705They aren't as crazy as say, a forgefiend or a heldrake but they do have a respectable amount of trim still, especially since there are random pieces of metal riveted all over their armour.>>96580719In my case there's really no two ways around it, my armour is white and I do it with an airbrush to keep myself sane, so I either mask everything before priming or basecoat every metal part in black after I'm done with the armour. I usually do the latter because I feel like I have more control over it.>>96580751I mean they can probably look decent as the other anon says just with some contrasts, but if you want to paint the details and have interesting visual contrast they must be one of the most detailed armies for sure. The amount of rivets, valves, maggots, demonic growths, tentacles, corroded metals, bullet holes, pieces of chainmail, leaking fluids they have everywhere is insane.
>>96580555morbidly curious about what the hell he is going to write about outside of BL
Does anybody here actually play Eldar?What drew you to the faction?
Why are there two of him?
>>96580820just dark eldar
>>96580819Some generic sci-fi stuff. He assumed he had a big enough fanbase to do his own thing without having to pay GW 40%. He'll probably be back to writing 40k if his own work flops or we'll be rid of him if he succeeds.
>>96580749Show me a grimdark miniature on a white background with proper lighting or in natural light that looks anywhere near as good as when photographed on a dark/black background, I'll wait.
>>96580822One for patricians and one for plebeians
>>96580701i actually found my plague marines harder to paint than my terminatorsim not sure if im going to get anymore deathguard tho, sort of lot interest in them. Been thinking a lot about just focusing on my iron hands and nids.
>>96580830I found painting the insides of those flails a bitch
>>96580751>death guard>talking about the aos range
>>96580822god that Forgeworld Angron is so fucking wide
>>96580829Yeah I agree, the 40k one is miles better.
>>96580839sorry, I meant to say worse.
>>96580751Death Guard are easy to paint to a very good standard without much experience or talent. The lots of detail is part of that, it means that every model has lots of little bits of character.They just take a long time to paint because you keep finding new little bits.
>>96580839shit taste but you're entitled to your opinion
>>96580820Cool models and theri design
>>96580823>>96580820Also just Dark Eldar for me, though CWE are pretty cool too. Ynnari can fuck right off though
>>96580827Bait used to be believable, if you are genuine though then I am saddened to say you can Google it for yourself, I'm not gonna spoonfeed retards
>>96580875I accept your concession
>>96580880Likewise
>>96580880I don't know what you expected. You're arguing with a shitposter.
>>96580884>showing a different way of painting something to someone is now shitpostingI see this shithole of a general has only slid down in quality since the last time
Post models either of you despicable cretins you both suck dick
>>96580526Just finished yesterday
>>96580894>loses argument>starts screeching about muh post modelsevery time
>>96579634I've been slowly building up a Krieg army over the last 2ish years or so between this year's model refresh, kitbashes, Forge World recasts, and Horus Heresy Leman Russes. So far I've got>Lord Marshal Dreir>2 Krieg Command Squads (One from the plastic kit, one using the FW Command HQ squad)>a Commissar >40 Krieg infantry>10 Combat Engineers>10 Grenadiers (Kitbashed from Tiny Legend bits)>2 Artillery Teams>10 Death Riders>1 Field Ordinance Battery squad>2 Sentinels>3 Leman Russes (1 Battle Tank, 1 Tank Commander w/ Demolisher Cannon, and one Vanquisher)>1 ChimeraAlong with a few other things in the pipeworks (A second Chimera waiting in a box, another squad of those Tiny Legend Grenadiers + some "Castellans" to lead them), a 4th Russ with a swappable turret mount to try out different variants). Honestly if you're starting from scratch the new Combat Patrol isn't that bad if you pick up two of them. I was with you initially and was kinda "Meh" on the Death Riders at first. After building and painting them though I think they're kinda neat. Do I wish they were better in game? Yeah, but hey, they make nice display models at least. They've got quite a few build options since you can do lances/swords/guns and it all counts as the same unit, so WYSIWYG isn't an issue.
>>96580480The plot already got leaked.90% of the book is the Corsairs fighting Humans and Genestealers to stop the Orks from attacking a Craftworld by setting a trap to blow up the Ork fleet. The 'twist' is that the Corsair Princess changes the plan at the end and detonates the trap early, which alerts the Orks to the Craftworld's pressence and has them charge straight at it and butcher the Craftworlders while the Corsairs escape. The Ex-Craftworld character, Admiral Taenar, is initially distraught but is convinced by the main Corsair character, Myrin, that he had no real ties left to the Craftworld after being exiled and that he fits in far better with the Corsairs.
>>96580903beeg hammor
>>96580903Gundam Ork.
>>96580911damn the corsair princess is a bitch, thats fucked up
>>96580911And why do people think Mike Brooks is a good writer?
>>96580911Dogshit, it's the only word I can use to describe that.
>>96580905>everyone itt is the same person aside from me
>>96580920>>96580924It may make more sense as a novel than as a short paragraph summary
>>96580931This is Mike Brooks we are talking about, benefit of doubt is wasted on him.
>>96580345they perfect, just change weapons for raptor options (meltagun fist chainswords)
>>96580935Looking at his list of works, I've liked most everything of his I've read.Alpharius, Harrowmaster, Son of the Forest, Lelith Hesperax, all good reads. I was iffy on Huron Blackheart, it felt like some executive was like, "hey remind everybody this guy exists" as opposed to a book that existed for the sake of a good story. But still, that's four out of five solid books, and Huron wasn't awful just felt a bit pointlessWhat's people's beef with Brooks?
>>96580930>follows with muh schizoyour script is boring and stale
>>96580963Literally just chud-shit. Its archtards mad he had a nonbinary orc in one of his stories. And it wasn't so much the orc was nonbinary and more the orks making fun of a marine for assuming they are all men when they dont have sex at all, they are a single sex species that breeds via spores. That's it.People like the toxic Yuri. Also there is a sororitas short story with a trans character mentioned (never appears, just is mentioned) and because Brooks is outwardly LGBT positive they assume it was him but it wasn't.
>>96580970Considering you're still talking to a different guy, yeah seems pretty schizo to me
>>96580963Same, his books are decent. The Lion book was a refreshing take on the DA after decades of suffering Gav Thorpe.>What's people's beef with Brooks?he's left wing in public, so terminally online culture warrior subhumans here never will stop smearing him.Basically the same that happened with ADB or McNeill a decade ago. The quality of his works, good or bad, will be misrepresented on purpose to shit on him.
>>96580972>People like the toxic YuriPlebbit retarts arent humans
>>96580986NTA but my issue with ADB has always been the weird sort of worship he got on reddit and other forums soley because he was a forum poster at one point.
>>96580963>What's people's beef with Brooks?Literally just that he thinks lesbians can be okay and has "he/him" in his bio. Don't make too much of it.>>96580972>spoilerI'm 98% sure you're referencing the Ghaz book written by Nate Crowley, not Mike Brooks.
>>96580594>archivefagging
The only good BL author has and only ever will be Josh Reynolds, his departure from BL has only made the warhammer settings worse and I will never read another book from this company until his return.
>>96581007you don't like william king?
>>96581007I enjoyed the cain books, even if its the same 2-3 stories repeated with a different coat of paint
>>96580166I pay the money for chaos black, it's a nice consistent product that doesn't clump or crack
>>96581007>le womyn are le strongest of the species>le maybe the chaos gods were the players all alongYou have to go back.
>>96581006Give a legitimate reason why "Archivefagging" is a bad thing. Why shouldn't people use a public resource to show how frequently shitposts are reposted.
>>96580963Lelith's book completely waters down her characters for the sake of promoting her as a 'girl power' lesbian icon for a faction of torturous slavers and rapists.Lelith is not mean to be a hip and trendy character who getd involved with 'toxic yuri'. She's an alien gladiator who runs an entire army of other gladiators solely so she can find more things to torture and kill. Romance vehemently disgusts her to the point that she kills anyone she sleeps with just for fun.
>>96580166>being poor
>>96581022There's nothing wrong with using the archive, there's everything wrong with obsessively using the archive.
>>96580156>you're laughing?>a man is dead and you're laughing.
>>96580166>>96581019For me it's pic related. Yeah it's technically more expensive than Chaos Black ($13 for 100ml for one can vs $26 for 400ml in the Chaos Black), but by god it has the smoothest finish I've seen in a primer.
>>96581021>le maybe the chaos gods were the players all alongwhere does that come from anyways?
>>96581029This. It's narc behaviour and trying to police the thread.
>>96581024>Romance vehemently disgusts her to the point that she kills anyone she sleeps with just for fun.yeah that's what the book is about
>>96581022>the archivefag cries when he gets called out
>>96581037I think its the last book in the Fabulous Bile trilogy.
>>96581022Why shouldn't people use a post to point out how frequently you archivefag?
>>96581022there was a fad for a while of absolute shit-heads going through and using the archives to Big Brother everything you ever posted with that image, then coming back and posting one of your old comments like "OOOOOH YOU HAVE THIS OPINION? OOOOOOOH!"it was cringe as hell.
>>96581022The irony of your post is amazing. You want to mark trails on people, but hate being called out for the trail you create for yourselfWhy should it matter on an anonymous message board Sorry you can’t function if you can’t put every post throw a shit test
>>96581022Imagine thinking everyone is the same poster and then daring to say others are shitposting.
>>96581066Meme better.
>>96581066why the fuck would you even post this? don't you have some subreddit to hatescroll in denial instead?
>>96581066Yikes!
>>96580972Reddit moment
>>96580963The writing guality in his books isn't great and him shoving contemporary political faggotry into them so he can "own the chuds" (his words not mine) makes his work bottom of the barrel shit that's only good for making paper mache.
>>96580972>Also there is a sororitas short story with a trans character mentioned (never appears, just is mentioned) and because Brooks is outwardly LGBT positive they assume it was him but it wasn't.What are you trying to say here? That the LGBT author wasn't the one who put in a trannoid character and trannoid surgery briefly just so he can go on his personal discord and give himself a pat on the back? That it was a shadowy nebulous someone else?
>>96581091Both of these models are boring.
>mfw I contemplate how shit all other races are and how easy it is to defeat them
>>96580963People hate his books for the same reason why people hate modern games like Veilguard, it's dogshit in quality and the creator/s behind the said thing only care to push their faggot politics and show off how faggot friendly they are to other faggots within their clique.It's that simple.
>>96581091At least the raptor dude is unintentionally a funny starscream-like character.Archaon's second in command is just another bland girl-boss with no personality or charisma.
>>96581108That's not what that scene was about.It was about him having to recall how most of his Craftworld, including his own mother, got completely obliterated by a random force of Ultramarines.
>>96581091Do chaos warriors have jump lords like haarken? Should they?
>>96581120No. They have the one thing demons in 40k wish they had. Furries.
>>96581120they really should have winged units
>>96581108>easylol, your mom is a rock and your craftworld is dead
>>96581113Bottom one is better.Genuinely fuck this "3 of any datasheet" garbage which allows complete dogshit meme armies like 21 marine captains in one army.40k is a wargame, if you don't like that go play something else.

>>96581038Sorry if I'm tired of seeing the same recycled shitposts every other thread. >>96581040>Using greentext incorrectly>>96581046>>96581062Multiple people have access to 4plebs, desuarchive, or any other archive. There's no one singular "Archivefaggot". It's not about trails or whatever, but people should be called out for reposting the same stale bait again and again.>>96581065Where in my post did I say anything about samefagging. >>96581029>>96581048See now this these are actually decent reasons, I can see them spiraling into shitty behaviors. Honestly replying to these posts it felt like half of them were actual honest replies while the other half was the guy samefagging for being called out. I get why no one's really bothered to reply to it before.
>>96581129>40k is a wargame, if you don't like that go play something else.so being a wargame should determine what your army looks like instead of the actual fiction
>>96581116>starscream-likeI don't think there's much overlap between Haarken and Starscream beyond their both being flying mooks for evil overlords. Haarken is stupendously loyal and doesn't get routinely humiliated by his boss.
>>96581117>a random force of Ultramarinesto be fair, it was the 5th company supported by knights and titans, and they were also killed.The UM leaving the bodies, armour and standards say a lot.
>>96581141the black trim while accurate looks lazy
>>96581120For the most part, no, they don't have much in the way of flying units, heroes or otherwise. And it's not a thing now, but these things used to have a rules option to be run as flying units.
>>96581135>so being a wargame should determine what your army looks likeYes.
>>96581134>Multiple people have access to 4plebs, desuarchive, or any other archive. There's no one singular "Archivefaggot".And yet you're blatantly obvious and singularly obnoxious with it.
>>96581156that sounds awful
>>96581151>these things used to have a rules option to be run as flying units.God I wish GW would stop making the mainline games rules so fucking allergic to fun. I know 9th was shit but Invocatus should have kept his flying pig.
>>96581134You seriously don’t see the irony here?
>>96581159Then go find another game to play.
>>96581172why would I GW seems to agree with me, hell in the recent dataslate they buffed cawl because they think he should be in armies
>>96581134>Where in my post did I say anything about samefaggingLmao, you can't be serious.
>>96581150I like it, the UM look more grimdark and it makes the gold and red parts pop more.The gold chest imperialis/aquila and shoulder pad trim of the 2nd company is too much, IMO
>>96581175>see GW is enshittifying the game for me and that is a good thingOk, then don't complain when GW enshittify the game to the point where even you find it untolerable. Since after all GW would be agreeing with some other customer who are also equally valid as you.
>>96580357
>>96581182Why would the game using a real world force org make it inherently better
I don't care if you own a 20,000 point armyif you primarily call them "astra militarum" you are NOT an imperial guard fan
>>96581179I think its because the animation has a lot of flat colors so the undersuit is the same color as the trim
>>96581207Makes it an actual wargame and also helps balancing it since you can't spam your obnoxious meta units.And it actually forces you to think about what you bring to the table.Ie. all things that will filter out most tourneyfags and miscellaneous retards like the guy I replied to.
>>96581208Some people just love the AssMill, man. Let people enjoy things.
>The FIRST EVER MAINSTREAM 40K movie might be the first Tyrannic warI think that's a cool way to introduce people to 40k, nids are the easiest enemy faction for normies to get while learning about the Imperium. Most imporantly however, is that having tyranids be centre stage is that it appeals to women ,which for the bean counters means they can appeal to twice as many viewers.
>>96581028Rich people tend to stay rich by not overspending when it isn't neededNot that a poorfag would understand
>>96581208Cheers, I'll drink to that
>>96581163I'm not too bitter about the loss of these rules specifically, I can see why they'd trim some of this. Slaves to Darkness is already a stacked army as is, and while I'd rather they kept as many fun options in the books for as long as possible, getting a choice of eight different special rules that apply to only a single unit in the whole army does feel pretty bloatsome.
>>96581211why is being an actual wargame better? Furthermore more even without spam people will still minmax, all youre doing is forcing a troops tax on everyone because you're assblasted
>>96581213>>The FIRST EVER MAINSTREAM 40K movie might be the first Tyrannic warWhy do you have to hurt me so by sowing seeds of hope that will bear the fruits of disappointment? Why?
>>96581159Thank you, Knights and Guiliman player your opinion wasn't solicited
>>96581218You don't speak for the rich, poorfag.
>>96581213the very start of Tyrannic war is kino, since the nids literally came from the sea and the only reason why the planet wasn't lost immideately is a heroic last ditch message sent by a magos from underwater stationAdMech MC + Underwater nids would be peak cinema
>>96580911>Write Corsair book>Have a thousand possible plots>What if we got another Craftworld killed lmao?
>>96581208I love my assa so fuck you
>>96581239There is no anti-Eldar bias
>>96581227>shifting goalpostsI accept your concession.
>gonna be playing 40k for the first time with my friend's Chaos Space Marines>trying to create list for a local tourney for the first time>so many options, so many choices for each unit, each marine gets a complete personalized customization>other factions just drop a default maxed out unit and call it a dayI mean it is cool but it's also quite tiresome and some units don't even have the proper load outs in the kit, seems like you have to scavenge for bits. Also some kits are completely bland and monopose without any options and it will look.weird to run multiples of them. What a weird faction.
>>96581239Mike Brooks is just the new Gav Thorpe for eldar.
>>96581208Why would the imperium call their army the "star army"?GW disavows mentions of religion and empires yet make money out of it, it's spineless hypocrisy.Either you acknowledge it's fiction or you don't, but you can't say one thing and act as if it was the opposite.
>>96581227>why is being an actual wargame better?Why did you come to a wargame if you wanted to make it not a wargame?
>>96581239Corsairs are just Craftworlders out on Rumspringa for a while who want to live on the edge and don't really care if they live or die. They only escalated stakes they can ever possibly have is their old homeworld getting destroyed.
>>96581213>first tyrannic warYou mean with old marines, not primaris? Yeah I totally believe this lol
>>96581264Was. He quite BL after finishing this book.
>>96581271Anon have you seen the new de-Primaris'd miniature for Calgar?
>>96581227>>96581269>Today I will remind them
>>96580911Why did the princess do this?
>>96581271Nah they'll just retcon it that Primaris marines have always been the 40k marines since the minute the scouring ended.Look forward to Primaris Badab War next.
>>96581270Yeah okay, that's why Cosairs shouldn't be anywhere near 40k in the first place, second plenty of stories have the stakes raised to entire worlds and sub-factions being destroyed but it only seems to happen in Xenos books and it happens everytime in Eldar books.
>>96581276>De-PrimarisedIt's a primaris terminator, I wish I was shitposting.I also saw the primaris remake of cato sicarius and the 3 models remake of the old UM honour guard.
>>96581277GW has said before that every time they use restrictive army building, by the end of the edition everyone wants it gone. I guess some people are in for the stoic enjoy the suck of list tax but the general playerbase has never been
>>96581286The mustache wings will never look good.
>>96581213>The FIRST EVER MAINSTREAM 40K movie might be the first Tyrannic warNot a bad pick to be honest, you have a clear case of the heroic space marines against evil bugs.A much easier entry into 40k than anything Chaos related.
>>96581288'Troop tax' is an old term people used to express that they don't like having to take crappy troop units that aren't worth their price, but then you also see people here masturbating over the old force org chart that ALSO forced you to take troops, I don't get it
>>96581295i'm mixed on them, but i think they added much needed character to ultramarines
>>96581297>steampunk faggotry
>>96580911>>96581279Yeah, I'm not really sure what the motivation is here. Didn't the Corsairs get into a war with the Orks specifically to protect that Craftworld? Isn't fucking up the plan on purpose just throwing in the towel for no reason?
>>96581288>The corporation has told me the least work for them is actually what everyone wants.Restrictive list building is the lazy version anyway. The rules should represent what happens to center peices when they go off with chaff
>>96581306Craftworlders are the only segment of eldar who have a concept of right and wrong. She wasn't one so she didn't have any.
>>96580911I truly can't understand why some absolute subhumans defend Mike Brooks' writing. He is by far the worst Black Library has to offer and that's even when completely ignoring his politics or fetishes he inserts in his books. He writes like a comic book writer who uses chatGPT as his editor. That's why he shits out so many low quality books. Then there are his subhuman fanboys who only praise him because he is on their political side. I'm a leftist (though not a radical one, maybe that's the problem) and I think he is a garbage writer.
>>96581299It might sound crazy but there are multiple people with different opinions. Sounds crazy, I know.
>>96581236literally every part of it is unfiltered kino>the eyes of the tyranid ships catching glimpse of the light shining on maccrage and slowly waking up to move towards the new prey>kryptmann investigating an empty imperial vessel and his telepathic aide getting possessed by the hive mind while analysing a tyranid gun left on the scene>then surviving an assassination attempt from a rapidly evolving creature in his own home>the cosmic horror of finding tyran prime completely devoid of life, where it was once full of oceans, then seeing the last pic captures and reports of the invasion>then understanding the path of dead worlds the nids have left behind, realising they're extragalactic and the weird detours around some planets >the race to go warn the ultramarines of the impending doom, while noone has any idea about the fact ultramar also has genestealer infected double agents>the calm before the storm, when communications are killed by the shadow in the warp and then the full scale war finally happening, the sheer number of bioships blotting the sun>random scenes of carnage ensue from planetary defence forces getting overwhelmed, the daring last stands of the veteran company>old one eye gaining his name in its iconic event>then the duel between the swarmlord and calgar>in the end the rogue trader ramming his ship and detonating its warp drive against the main hive ship>then last pieces of horror as the tendrils of kraken and many more fleets appear in the map, as well as a research team finding the body of old one eye and it twitching back into lifeit's cliché as hell, but it's the kind of shit I'm missing
>>96581299you're trying to dilute the issue to a single 'gotcha' attempt. because people who like the old force org charts also don't like things like armies with 6 warbosses or 6 daemon princes
>>96581288>people want it goneSince when do people know what's good for them.Rules also exist to protect players from themselves.Get a tight group and use home rules. Why do you play using shitty rules made to make more customers?
>>96581273Mike Brooks quit? Thank god.
>>96581297>ai slop>>96581305it's dieselpunk, you philistine pleb
>>96581273It's mostly likely a hiatus and he'll be back after his own stories flop or maybe the Corsair books is one last fuck you. Who knows.
>>96581310I'd believe them considering how favorably the arks of omen format and current list building is received
>>96581305>steampunk Except it isn't. Solar Auxilia is raypunk and retro-futurism in general.
>>96581266>Why would the imperium call their army the "star army"?Star Army as in a guard force that is sent out to other solar systems unlike the standard PDF who stays on planet. It also further helps to prevent misnomers because the PDF can also be classified as the “Imperial Guard”.
>>96581236>"We cannot live through this. Mankind cannot live through this. In a single day they have covered this planet with a flood of living blades and needle-fanged mouths. Kill one, and ten take its place. If they are truly without number, then our race is doomed to a violent death before every shred of our civilisation is scoured away by a force more voracious than the fires of hell themselves. Death! By the Machine God, Death is here!">Cut it down to just ""We cannot live through this. Mankind cannot live through this. Death! By the Machine God, Death is here!"I can really see this being the cold open/ line for the trailer. We cannot live through this being a fascinating deep cut to Islamic scholars when they saw the sack of Baghdad by the Mongols who famously said 'Islam cannot survive them' to the at the time unstoppable golden horde.
>>96581321>no one is going to like or want force org but its good for the gameWhy exactly is it good, is it virtue signaling to whatever a true wargame is supposed to be?
>>96581313you're a false flagging and butthurt eldarchud shillAlpharius, Harrowmaster, Son of the Forest were good books (for 40k)
>>96581295Do you prefer picrel?
for any1 that cares, i was able to successfully strip the paint off of guilliman and my imperial knight. the primer just finished drying so this is what they look like now. For the knight im switching to black and gold instead of white...
>>96581286They look great, UM are eating good again
>>96581340whats up with the banded pauldron, I've seen it in space marine 2 before but I never got the significance
>>96581340That does look better. Gibson doesn't miss.
>>96581334>Astra Miliatarum in space>Solum Militarum on the groundDo you confuse the national guard with the army?>>96581337>>no one is going to like or want force org but its good for the gameNot what I said, try again
>>96580162I was seriously considering using this guy as a demon prince but I don't think World Eaters colors will look that good on him
>>96581340I don't like the oversized axes.>>96581347It's not banded, if you look carefully they are scroll work.
>>96581273>My source is that I made it the fuck up
>>96580382>Mike BrooksMore dogshit. Don't even need to read it to know that.>>96580911yep, as usual
>>96581311Okay but even if the Princess is totally mercenary what do they stand to gain by luring Orks into attacking a Craftworld?
>>96581347>>96581350
>>96581350>Gibson doesn't miss.
>>96581316>then the duel between the swarmlord and calgarSwarmlord appears one scene and makes the main hero character a quadruple amputee and then the entire first company terminator company die saving his bleeding carcass.How does the Swarmlord die on Macragge anyway
I was reding through the Horus Heresy and I don't think the writers really though through the implications of time not existing in the warp.For example that implies that Horus is in some sense still in the warp after he entered on Moloch, he never left, and could come out in 41k. Time travel shit gets weird fast
>>96581339>Alpharis, Harrowmaster, Son of the Forest>goodholy fuck you have zero taste, he managed to make a story about a Primarch boring as all hell. Thrice.
>>96581335there are a lot of cinematic quotes to use>The more I learn about these aliens, the more I come to understand what drives them, the more I hate them. I hate them for what they are and for what they may one day become. I hate them not because they hate us but because they are incapable of good, honest, human hatred>There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey.>As I looked into its dead black eyes, I saw the terrible sentience it had in place of a soul. Behind that was the steel will of its leader. Further still I could feel its primogenitor coldly assessing me from the void. And looking back from the deepest recesses of the alien's mind I perceived what I can only describe as an immortal hunger. We can slay the Tyranids on our worlds, blast their fleets from the space, grind their armies to torn and ruined fragments. But their hunger? That is beyond our ability to slay.>I know you may find them repellent to look at but believe me, you don't want to let them out of your sight.
>>96581366Did he stutter?
>>96581346I am fairly critical of most of the space marine sculpts that GW has put out recently. But I have to admit, these new ultramarines are fucking cool.
>>96581337...so back in the day there was this Starwars MMO it was alive and vibrant, but the fans complained and complained they wanted to be jedi, so the game changed and everyone could be a jedi. Big player count boom, sudden player count collapse as the gameplay that should be the core of a game Tabletop or Video was made into sludege. People don't know what they want.
>>96581368>makes the main hero character a quadruple amputeeNever happened btw.
>>96581141>The UM leaving the bodies, armour and standards say a lot.Yeah, it says the people beuind that episode don't know Marine traditions.
>>96581369You're not meant to think about it with any shred of logic.If it fits the narrative, it can happen, if it doesn't, it doesn't happen.
>>96581377Nice Protomaris Aggressors.
>>96581369Chaos and the warp in general are full of wobbly wobbly timey whimey bullshit that ruins and kind of cohesive narrative if you think about it too much.
>>96581277I am the girl in this and enjoy ruining it for you while it balloons in popularity, pushing you out
>>96581377He is right.This >>96581366 and what you posted don't look that great.What you posted is basically a proto centurions.
>>96581380Isn't Calgar running around with 4 bionic limbs?
>>96581369>warp time shenanigansOne of the reason I'm never touching a 40k novel.It's easy to write some "big" idea, but you better deliver, you better make it interesting, it better add to your story.Time travel and dimensional bullshit are always a red flag, it's an exception when someone pulls it off.I'm sure for the writers it was a way to make the warp sound more powerful, but in practice it means shit is meaningless and is down to the whims of (mediocre) writers.Writing is easy. Writing something interesting, isn't.
>>96581365I don't really care a lot about these, but I do really like that axe where the head is in the shape of the Ultramarines symbol. It's great.
>>96581390I am the guy in you and enjoy ruining you while you balloon, pushing in you.
>>96581368Nice fanfiction you got there
>>96581369Yeah, it's not surprising. It's what happens when subpar writers shove timetravel or dimension hopping or parallel timeline bullshit into their story/setting.
>>96581369>Horus is in some sense still in the warp after he entered on Moloch, he never leftHow so anon? People enter and leave the warp all the time, but sometimes its far longer than they thought or before the entered but there isn't a second you in the warp immune to time
>>96581366>>96581377these are from gallagherand he doesn't miss either he was always fighting the good fight, arguing with gw that marines should have non standardised equipments and that that their armor should be decorated with reliquaries and inscriptions
>>96581372Every story about a primarch is boring as hell so nothing different then
>>96581392No.
>>96581389Maybe we should stop acknowledging that part of the warp until it goes away instead of perpetuating the cycle of shit
>>96581406If the warp exists in all times at once then everything that entered is still there in that eternal moment even if they exist the warp in our reality at time X. The warp is thus everything it will be and ever has been at all times
>>96581366is there a book with all his concept art?
>>96581406>How so anon?Warp has no time within it.So Horus entering the portal on Molech might be in M30, but he can easily exit out of it and it is M41 thanks to the nature of the Warp.
>>96581393>it's an exception when someone pulls it off.Name one singular story where time travel and/or dimensional nonsense didn't turn the story into complete trash.
>>96581390>I am the girl
>>96581414So I imagined/ fell for some secondary bullshit the most interesting part about Calgar?
>>96581416>Maybe we should stop acknowledging that part of the warpYou ignoring won't actually make it go away because GW and its writers will bring it up regardless if they want to.
>>96581369>For example that implies that Horus is in some sense still in the warp after he entered on Moloch, he never left, and could come out in 41k. Time travel shit gets weird fastThe HH novels are literally the story of Chaos creating itself via a series of bootstrap paradoxes by interfering in reality before it technically exists, starting with the daemon Samus triggering the Horus Heresy by manifesting in the past. Except he didn't exist yet, because he is only created when Erebus shanks Garviel Loken at the end of the battle on the Vengeful Spirit. This is Chaos bootstrap paradox #1 that they used to basically hack reality to their own favor and doom humanity.Chaos bootstrap paradox #2 is woven into a tangle with #1, wherein the Emperor and Horus's duel on the Vengeful Spirit shatters time and space. The act of doing so causes the combined negative emotions of the Siege of Terra to leak into the dawn of time, essentially tainting the Warp with the beginnings of Chaos (and the origins of the first 3 Chaos Gods) billions of years before the Old Ones ever create the first psychic races. Put simply, the entire Horus Heresy is Chaos creating its own origin story out of nothing. Chaos didn't actually exist prior to the Horus Heresy, because it had no actual origin point beforehand. But it somehow interfered with reality to cause its own creation, because time is nonexistent in the Warp. This means that the Emperor's Golden Path, which he believed was the only way to stop Chaos, was in fact the only way to *create* Chaos, and he was tricked into causing everything bad that ever happened in the universe. If he had simply chosen not to create the Imperium or create the Primarchs or one of any number of things that led to the Horus Heresy, Chaos would have actually unraveled from existence. Yes, it is retarded. Yes, people will say "that never happened" because they didn't read the The End and the Death and simply refuse to believe this is the case.
>>96581393the time travel and dimension bullshit are in the source bible for 40k, its not just a novel thing
>>96580166wraithbone has been pretty good to me
>>96581426Return to the future. That's all I can name, I think I've seen a couple max in my life that were actually good. It can happen.But not in 40k novels
>>96581431Seems like it.
>>96581390We don't need to hear about your efforts to transition.
>>96581418Hmm I get that, I don't think that means there's now an ifinite copy of you that can enter reality. Seems more like there's a version of Horus that IS Horus at the point in the warp forever. Like a respawning enemy/boss from a souls like game. You can find him and kill him but if you rest and come back he'll be right there all over again both defeated and undefeated by you
>>96581439>Yes, it is retarded.Seems like a pretty basic tragedy, I don't see the issue.
>>96581339>you're a false flagging and butthurt eldarchud shill>false flagging>shillPlease do the world a favour and stop using words you don't understand. It doesn't make you look smart, it just screams to everyone around that you're a retard.
>>96581435>GW and its writersThat's the we I was suggesting start ignoring it. GW ignoring things has eventually made them leave the accepted fluff, before.
>>96581441If it was in a bible, it was written.They're no strangers to retcons, but chose to keep that part.
>>96581213NO chance in hell of that happening, valrak is grasping at straws.
What would you say are the chances of the humble Predator surviving 11th? I think there's at least 70% of them getting Legends'd.
>>96581439>The HH novels are literally the story of Chaos creating itselfStopped reading there. These books are shit and should never have been made.
>>96581439Horus Heresy and its consequences and damage it has done to 40k lore cannot be underestimated.
>>96581439>(and the origins of the first 3 Chaos Gods)4.Slaanesh was among them, his 'birth' was a performative act to destroy the Eldar and pave the way for the Emperor to begin the Great Crusade unopposed.This also means that the Eldar only ruled the galaxy because Chaos was allowing it, and at any point the Chaos Gods could have triggered the Fall and ended the Eldar Empire. The Eldar were just useful tools for keeping the Galaxy in relative stasis for 60 million years so Humans could come about.
>>96581468I sincerely worry for the chaos factions in 11th
>>96581468It's already replaced by the gladiator. But that was before they knew how people felt about primaris marines.
>>96581439>The HH novels are literally the story of Chaos creating itself No, it isn't, go ask /hhg/
>>96581439That is incredibly lame and fucking gay.Honestly what does this add to 40k?
I really don't see the issue, the war that doomed Humanity also creating the thing that is dooming humanity seems incredibly appropriate for 40k, if a bit contrived in execution.
>>96581213So if Cavil is in the movie and not just producing it, he'll probably be playing Calgar then
>>96581279>>96581306The logic behind it is that Ork fleet was much larger than originally thought and the Craftworld had been massively weakened after being raided by Lelith prior to the book's start (it's actually mentioned in the Lelith book), so it wasn't going to be much help against the Orks. Tishria didn't think the Corsairs would profit from standing with the Craftworld, so she pulled her people out.
>>96581487>Creating your own doomGood>Creating your doom that goes back in time to make you create your doom so you're not actually creating your doom chicken or egg?Not good
>>96581485Ignore the muh TEATD shitposter. He keeps pushing his fanfiction take and making up shit that doesn't happend in the HH books
>>96580822Freshly Ascended vs 10000 years of daemonhood
>>96581439>Yes, people will say "that never happened" because they didn't read the The End and the Death and simply refuse to believe this is the case.No, we call out your bullshit because it never happens in that book.You're a shitposter farming yous, outrage and low key shilling against BL
>>96581426Back to the Future Groundhog Day>you now the entire universe is in a Groundhog Day style loop where the warp god the emperor is destined to become battles against chaos until he finally wins. Chaos? They're loving it
>>96581500The Warp has always been weird time bullshit though? Besides that humanity is still dooming itself with its actions, Chaos just feeds off of the strife for its creation.
>>96580822>Grimdark realism vs Cartoony design for Timmy mum to buy.Just look at his weapons on the FW model and the 40k GW one.
>>96581487The setting exists beyond humans.Chaos isn't just a human thing.Arguing that humans are singularly responsible for chaos shrinks the setting.
>>96581522>The setting exists beyond humansit really doesn't
>>96581514>>96581504Once again, the people who never read it leap to the defense of Abnett.
>>96581522>The setting exists beyond humansNot really.
>>96581525It literally does.We're not talking about a matter of POVs, where the setting is undeniably anthropocentric, we're talking about the actual worldbuilding of the setting.If you want to argue that chaos is exclusively a human thing, then you're not talking about 40k, you're talking about some weird fanfiction that removes everything from 40k but humans and chaos.It's simply objectively wrong at face value, or a meaningless impression in the most forgiving of interpretations that would see whatever is described in that book as but one of many events that seed chaos back in time.
>>96581526Abnett can fuck off, but so can youHis late books have many issues, but your made up fanfiction about creating Chaos is not one of them
>>96581487>I really don't see the issueThere was no need to ever explain as to why and how Chaos came into existance. Also it's just more Chaos wank like "Chaos will win in the end anyway xD" that BL editor Laurie Goulding or whoever said.It quite literally turns the entirety of the 40k setting and the characters and all the events within it meaningless. (Yes, I know this is a fictional setting that doesn't actually matter)All it does is just make everything that happens in 40k a pre-determined outcome and none of the actual actions of the characters matter.Like imagine if Tolkien had written LoTR where Frodo gets to Mount Doom and throws the ring into the lava destroying the Ring, only for him to then write a sequel book 2 decades later where he describes the lava pouring out from the volcano where then the molten golden metal then flows out and then forms into the One Ring again and its then found by the orcs who bring it to Sauron.
>>96581534You've posted a paragraph that addresses other races and time periods too, do you even realise that?
Gonna have a game with leaked Drukhari codex rules on tuesday
>>96581540>His late books have many issues, but your made up fanfiction about creating Chaos is not one of themAnon... just read Part 3. You don't even have to read 1 and 2. I don't understand why someone who claims to hate BL tries to argue that things that actually happen in Part 3 didn't happen. Why are you trying to defend Abnett and BL?
>>96581518>but it was always shit thoughThat doesn't make it magically better.It the idea was shit back then, it is shit even now.
>>96581548Aren’t they really weak?

>>96581518>Going at year 1 and exiting at year 1000Isn't the same as>Going at year 1 and exiting at year -1000Don't have to pretend it makes sense, it's bad fiction
>>96581551I'm going to give it a try and see how it is. Going against a decently competitive CSM player.
>>96581504It's not shitposting.I have read those parts of End and the Death part 3.What he is posting is true.
>>96581569>>96581569post a quote then
>>96581475nah, I expect chaos will stay as the home for the good old predator/land raider/vindicatorregular marines are the ones that need to be worried about having them legends'd in favour of hover tanks
>>96581549I don't hate BL, in fact I like some books and dislike others.You being unable to get that from my posts is more evidence of you not understanding what you read, like Abnett books.If you were a real lorefag, you'll know that his works are called the "Abnetverse" for a reason
>>96581600>If you were a real lorefag, you'll know that his works are called the "Abnetverse" for a reasonbecause even amongst the people who read the novels abnett is fairly esoteric and so in order to preserve their spot in the hierarchy of knowledge they delegate his novels to their own verse as a way to say they don't count
>>96581543>No needNah, humanity dooming itself by creating its archenemy makes the tradegy all the worse. After all, if Paradise wasn't Lost it isn't much of a tradegy, and GW isn't likely to write a redemptive story for humanity in 40k. >Chaos will win in the end anywayBeen that way since Realm of Chaos >That entire second paragraph Congrats on realizing the inherent nhilism of the setting, there is only an eternity of carnage, slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
>>96581605>esotericshit, the term you're looking for is shit
>>96581605>their spot in the hierarchy of knowledgeThis is some genuinely pathetic projection.Noone but you argue fluff to present themselves in some kind of hierarchy.
>>96581605>esotericlmao, BL readers dislike that he doesn't care about the works of other authors, and breaks the setting often with tech and shit that doesn't belong in 40kAnd that's even without the pretentious and stupid verbose writing of his late HH books.
>>96581543>>96581614stop talking about fanfiction that never happened.No, the Emperor vs Horus fight didn't create Chaos. Anon is retarded or shitposting
>>96580972Orks ARE all male, thobeight. They're boyz
>>96581605>abnett is fairly esoteric No the liber chaotica is esoteric, abnett is just the most popular BL slop, something popular cant be esoteric btw
>>96581128lmao what is this gi joe shit?
>>96581277my local groups were always pretty shocked to see a guy like me there. i was a nerd in my teen and still have my nerd friends with me now in my mid 25s. i took the tatepill and went hard in the gym and self development for 3 years so far and now i am 6"1, square jawed, large broad shoulders, 12% bf, juicy shredded asf. and i gotta tell you i am 100% there to enjoy playing the game with the other dudes there regardless of what they look like. there have been a couple of birds at my locals but they are all fat bowling ball body bitches with pink or blue hair.even got some of the dudes there to start coming gym with me and taught them how to lift and eat good tasting high protein/calorie food.luv me hobby. women ruin it, not normies or gymbros.
>>96581297They're all good
>>96581297>make hh kits cheaper>send subtle message that hh is less valuable than 40kPlayed yourself
Whats the difference between aeldari voidscarred and drukhari? Can aeldari voidscarred use drukhari kits?
>>96581569>>96581589Are you two going to just go back and forth without either of you proving your point for 100 posts again
>>96581749apples and oranges, anondrukhari are the Dark Eldar, an ethnicity. Voidscarred are just an eldar corsair gang
>>96581749>CorsairsRomanticized pirates. Just normal straight up pirates; they want adventure and treasure.>Dark EldarOrganizrd crime families. Cartels, mafia, etc., they're participating in every seedy and horrific crime imagineable solely for self-sustaining profit.
>>96581277Warhammer is more poopular than ever dweeb!
>>96581737If you ignore the big starter boxes is it not about the same roughly? I can't imagine them charging that much of a difference between a unit of intercessors vs a unit of whatever their tacticals are called these days
Me with my drukhari wife
>>96581759he has been shitposting about the fanfiction he tries to pass as canon for weeks if not months, but he has yet to provide evidence.I'm convinced he's an anti-BL falseflagging shitposter trying to smear these books with outrageous bs, simply because they've been popular recently (popular = bad, etc)
>>96581780This is some sick shit son
>>96580972>Also there is a sororitas short story with a trans character mentioned (never appears, just is mentioned) and because Brooks is outwardly LGBT positive they assume it was him but it wasn't.Ugh
>>96581656true, they have no biological sex, but their society is all male through social constructs created by them after their frequent encounters with mostly biologically male humans. they are actually a great testimony to how gender is extremely fluid, and doesn’t necessarily go by the state of your reproductive organs. hacks like nate crowley are too retarded to grasp this, and immediately go for the easy “muh orks are non-binary because they don’t have dicks” which is unknowingly affirming transphobic beliefs about gender.
>>96581749both are pirates and raiders, but the corsairs do it for the sake of having exciting adventures, the dark eldar do it to prolong their lives with the pain of others.
>>96581793>the corsairs do it for the sake of having exciting adventures>I love murder robbery, it's such an exciting adventure
>>96581770$85 for 20 marines vs $125 for 20 marines
>>96581787that's just the same that happens with trying to make female/tranny marines happen, instead of acknowledging that Astartes are homos but asexual mascs to the core.
>>96581799>>I love murder robbery, it's such an exciting adventureI mean yeah.Some fuckhead Imperial Admiral had a colossal orbital fortress built and proclaimed it was utterly incapable of being infiltrated.Prince Yriel responded by sneaking in and taking on of the Admiral's eyes while he slept, wholly for a laugh.
>>96581799eldar psychology is weird like that, they don't really want the wealth or the murder either, it's mostly the thrill of the challenge and dangerit's like extreme sportscorsairs either have very short lives because they live like that, or they're corsairs only for a relatively short rebellious period and then resettle somewhere else in eldar societies
>>96581605>esotericI dont think you know what that meas
>>96581805It makes me sad that HH minis look better and are somehow cheaper... I hate this timeline.
>>96581785Should we send a strongly worded email to their support team requesting they not shove their faggotry down our throats or will it fall on deaf ears?
>Have Nids Combat Patrol + a bunch of extra Termagants from the Space Marine game that came with Titus all built up>Too afraid to paint them since I can't decide on a paint scheme for the life of meGive me some color scheme ideas. I want to avoid Blue since my Guard is painted that color already, and greens though since I'm painting my Space Marines up as Salamanders and I want them to stand out on models like the Terminator Captain's base.
>>96581812Like Treasure Planet!
>>96581823make them green, but add in purple so they still stick out from the salamanders.
>>96580829>>96580841>>96580846>we have people genuinely trying to pretend they like the FW ascended angron now
>>96581812>>96581810I don't know if that's romantic. If I was just trying to go from place to place, and then some guys took the fact that I have guards as a challenge and started trying to murder rape me, AND THEN some guy next to me said "the good ol' romantic pirates" he's dead by my hands.
>>96581836romanticism is a matter of perspective, literally
>>96581835>everyone that likes different things than me is pretendingautism
>>96581836Corsairs don't murder-rape, they'd pull up on you, demand you release your cargo, then take some of it and fly away laughing because now you have to pick the rest of it back up from space.
>>96581835Seriously. Plastic Angron has (fixable) issues (like his stupid ork face), but resin Angron is so shit that even most HH fans dislike it along the horrible Lorara mini
>>96581683Based
>>96580256>highest amount of crossovers with 40k besides naruto is MLPchecks out
>>96580267FotM is this just anything we don't like now?
So uh. Whens more new lore coming out
>>96581835What's more funny to me is that the FW demon Angron isn't even being sold yet.Kinda like GW knows that the Angron model is shit and they are holding him back. I hope they rework his model and make it look more like the 40k Angron, or better yet just scrap it entirely.
>>96581922FotM isn’t necessarily a bad thing, its just something that is released, everyone raves about for a month, and then most leave to go for something else that seems cool while a group of dedicated enjoyers of that flavor stick around.
>>96581980Are we not FotM
>eldar talk again
>>96581997No, Silksong is a small single player game, so it can only be talked about so much. 40K is constantly expanding and has enough lore to rotate discussion on without it getting too repetitive. If you’re talking about /40kg/, then still no because /40kg/ popularity is fixed to the popularity of 40K, so poster count rises and falls depending on whether people want to come here to talk about 40K or not.
>>96580065>TQFinally getting around to painting the sanguinary guard
Why are there no ethnic space marines other than vikings? They could do at least chinese and jeets too.
>>96582101Please don't touristpost over here, /pol/, just fuck off.
>>96582023>40K is constantly expanding and has enough lore to rotate discussion on without it getting too repetitiveDoes it really? It's always the same rotation of >my idea how to kill Lucius>Emperor bad actually / Emperor good actually>My space dad is the best>Manlets vs numarines>Lol did you hear how the Tau SHARTED and FARTED themselves in terror when the MOUNTAINS STARTED WALKING XD>Eldar women
>>96582109>nooo muh obvious nazi allegory belongs to everyoneThe absolute state of nu-warhammer
>>96582101There are.
>>96582122do you own any models?
>>96582101White Scars are Mongols + Chinks + Japs + Poos in culture and ethnically Chinks after getting culturally enriched by Mongols
>>96582101I bet you think raibow warriors are lgbtq marines.
>>96581814>It makes me sad that HH minis look betterthey don't tho
>>96581305I know, Krieg are pretty fucking gay
>>96582101>Slop image>Doesn't know that Marines come in varieties other than 'White".Go back to whence you came, tourist.
>>96582134that's what they are now
>>96582101There are actually many of them, but you wouldn't know because you're a tourist
>>96582145Kriegs dogshit but Solar are worse
>>96582143>replying to your own shitty bait
so how does the transitions between editions actually work? do you just use the same rules from the last edition until they're replaced?
40k lore is not actually that complicated.People just make it seem more complicated because it makes it seem more in depth and wacky.
>>96581787>“muh orks are non-binary because they don’t have dicks”Orks also have dicks, they just don't use them to reproduce. They use them to piss on marines instead. Orks are ladz, simple as.
>>96582101white scars are mongoliansravenguard are native americansyou can also just make up your own dudes
>>96582187who's saying its complicated? its pretty straight forward for the most part. its mostly just a lot to remember if you have to know everything
>>96582187what do you mena by "complicated"?
>>96582157Those are just white people larping.
>>96582122I called him a tourist and a moron because White Scars are not strictly mongolian and can be chinese because we already have codices where White Scars are bearing polish names. Also literally caucasian-looking White Scars, too.
>>96582109lurk more
>>96582194>Orks also have dicksnope
>>96582208Is there like a video explaining each one of those?
>>96582223Learn them yourself.It's more fun that way.
>>96582214So are space wolves. The gene stock of current day Germany isn't pure germanic right now. Why would it be in the future when cities cover almost 100% of the globe
>>96582218>and can be chinese because we already have codices where White Scars are bearing polish namesWhat... ?
>>96582221Not canon
>>96582249yes it is, tourist
>>96582221nah, it’s like how eels produce their dicks just before they’re about to mate, but instead of seeing a female eel, the orks produce their dicks at the sight of a marine dead on the ground.
>>96582234Now post the whole sentence. I am saying that White Scars can totally be chinese if someone wants that because we already have ethnically slavic and white-looking WS, not just the asian flavour.
>>96582185depends on the edition changemost have a set of changes that retain a core of rules (like 8th to 9th) so most of the old stuff appliesothers like 2nd to 3rd or 7th to 8th change a lot more and generally come with placeholder army lists etc
>>96582221that's an ork kept in captivity that has degenerated enough for his gut to cover his junk ork absolutely have things dangling down there, what else would squigs bite for comedic effect? and how else would they piss on stuff as an insult?
>>96582267Can I get a source on those polish white scars? I'm not disagreeing with you, just curious.
>>96582159Unfortunately I agree with that. I don't care for their infantry. At least they have square tanks still though, tired of these eggshit Guard vehicles.
Is there a good reason that GW hasn't tried to get into the manga industry with their Warhammer 40k IP given how much nerds love Japan?
>>96582289It was an old codex, pretty sure they were manlet marines. Feel free to disbelieve me cuz I never saved the image.But this white White Scar I posted above is from... 9th edition? Quite recent.
>>96582300Bad rep with artists and intermingling with personalities that they don’t own.
>>96582300good artists cost money and either demand creative freedom or would rather pursue their own stuff instead.
Which Ultramarine successor chapter is the most popular, like the equivalent to the Flesh Tearers or Raptors?
>>96581922Who says I didn't like silksong?
>>96582315Blood Ravens
>>96582221Black Library has a book where a bunch of space wolves get pissed on by a drunk ork
>>96582315Blood Ravens, of course
>>96582345Everything is canon but not everything is true
>>96582315Silver Skulls and White Consuls come to mind.
>>96582345I didn't ask about your fetish fanfics
>>96582315White Consuls if you like someone to completely embrace the Roman LARP that Ultramarines got going on.
>>96582361It was played for comedy, weirdo. The yiffs were trying to ambush an ork encampment and a drunk ork wandered near the foliage they were hiding in and pissed on em.
>>96581805it sucks that HH has such a great cost for its troops but most elites, upgrades, and characters cost an army and a leg
>>96582398Yeha, it sucks that they're all Forgeworld resin. Luckily there are recasters that can get you the special stuff for much cheaper.
>>96582312>>96582313Thanks guysNow I'm sad that we may never get high quality Warhammer 40k comics and or manga.
>>96582267>steal Dangle Deathwing bits to make Winged Hussar White ScarsOh kurwa, I didn't need my lunch money anyway
adding real texture to a tank with tamiya putty is so much fun lmao I feel like a kid but it adds so much
>>96580065>TQ I have two main projects going, my primaris character project and my 2E stuff. Basically i want to fill out the character spreadsheet even if james hasn't made the character yet and I want two 2E armies and a classic studio style table.
>>96582014
>>96582345Is it written by the man who made if eat poops
>>96582303>>96582447I mean, yeah that's possible. Khan wasn't really a far east asian anyway. He was just adopted by mongols. Even irl they used to do that, especially Genghis Khan's line because he was curious of the world. The Marco Polo tv show was quite good at portraying it, though it was about the grandson Kublai Khan.
>>96581313can't lie that I liked the ork portions of brutal kunnin, warboss & Da Big Dakka, very funny stuff, but as soon as it got on the mechanicum or Deldar perspective I got bored, besides the Uftakh interrogation where he ragebait the archonread the lilith one, a bit boring imo

>>96582303>>96582447>>96582497WS successor chapters may have other cultural references, but WS are 100% a far east mix of Mongols, China and Japan.If you want polish hussars, play DA Ravenwing

>>96581091Haarken's design is so spectacularly bad that I question how the hell it got greenlit. He has the most fucked silhouette of any CSM model, the spear is comically proportioned, and the double vox grill is just weird looking. The regular jump lord shits all over him.
>>96582558>>96582553 meant for >>96582507
>>96582497In more modern depictions he's portrayed as Asian rather than John Wayne in The Conqueror. Beings more Asian is more accurate to his original art anyway.

With the introduction of primaris, no chapter is one single skin color. White Scars are black and so are Ultramarines and so on. Anything else is a lorelet cope.

>>96581103Yes, it was James Swallow not Mike Brooks. Excerpt can be read below.
