Goblins got done so dirty in 40K. Fantasy had them getting shit done, going in massive swarms and catapulting themselves by their own volition, and some of them would serve as advisors and nearing equals to the orc warboss. In 40K there isn’t a single grot willing to voluntarily stab a git that isn’t already half dead, and even the “highest” grot is still below the weakest, and dumbest boy.

>>96588001
Nah, they work well with the small roster they have and as add-ons to the 2 eldar armies, bloating it with a bunch of redundant options would be lame.

I'm sure gw will do an all gretchen kill team at some point and repackage them as a 40k unit ala mandrake and vespids and literally everything else. They'd be perfect cause you can give them all sorts of kooky guns in kt but trim it back for 40k

if they want to give chaos fanboys confidence that this faction has any future, they should put them as the starter update so we can actually expect that they'll get the same love as deathguard, and not a half ass army that goes one character every edition like with 1ksons and world eaters

but i get how they're also not the most "marketable" faction
world eaters would be good, perfectly "marketable" faction with a lot of fans already
1ksons could be good, able to synergize with SM2 like the nids did. that game is still pretty relevant. but i don't see it happening with how little attention they get as is

Here's my pitch: Alien Bird people that are honor-bound hunters (Think Predators) who's faction gimmick is fast deep strikers. Think stuff like Jet pack wings, infiltrators, and actually playable fliers. Give them a faction rule where the army gets a small buff whenever a unit on an objective is taken off the board but drops when you lose one of your units. Lore-wise have them associated with the Votann (Tech trading) and Tau (They want them bad as auxiliaries but the birds are too wise for that shit).

>>96588260
The minimum is a LOT higher. I know AoS has higher points cost generally, but almost every Spearhead gets you a quarter of a full army.

With CPs you have a lot that are around the 500 mark, and then a bunch that aren't even scraping 400. That's going to cause balancing problems. Especially with their new apparent paradigm of not having a centerpiece damage dealer, which puts non-powered armor armies at a disadvantage against powered armor armies

"Combat Patrol" is just "start collecting" with some extra steps. It's not meant to be It's own game in all sincerity. The Krieg box is good because of its model content, as it contains everything except the engineers and the marvel hero

It's going to be. Spearhead was too popular, they are going to try to replicate that in the next edition. At this point they should be designing the Combat Patrol sets to work with the new Combat Patrol game rules, and the crazy lopsidedness of the Krieg and the Harlequins make me think they haven't nailed it

>>96588357
I dont quite understand what the problem is
Do you mean not getting it on other bits of the model? Use masking tape or just keep practicing and you will have better control
If you mean the patchyness the metal has, that's just from thinning it and is normal, do a second thin coat and it will look solid.

Oh, i'm glad that's what it was!
Some paints take two or three coats, some can be more. It really depends on the paint
Building up thin coats like that instead of a thick one really helps keep detail sharp

I've been out of the hobby since around 6th edition, got rid of my collection a long time ago. Lately I've been feeling the itch and wanted to get back in, nothing crazy, just some marines to paint, maybe a little hobby-modeling, do some "my dudes" fan-fictioning - the good stuff.
I went on the online store to look at buying some kits but I'm seeing, all kinds of different Marines I don't know what I should be getting anymore. I know a lot of this is run-off from the Primaris hooplah but I have no frame of reference for what are normal units and what aren't and I've been seeing some stuff while doing a little research that the next edition is coming soonish and Primaris is getting phased out?

/tg/ what the hell am I supposed to buy? Are these Primaris kits being squatted? Are tactical squads dinosaur units? What the fuck is going on?
>>
>>96588496
Primaris is the trademarkable name for the modern sculpts of marines. The units aren't going away.
>>
>>96588496
The general gist of the current rumor mill is
>Last remains of firstborn marines are getting Primaris-version kits (Assault Terminators and Tactical Squads)
>Since everything is "Primaris" they can just drop the word from all the boxes and just say "Space Marine Intercessors" instead of "Space Marine Primaris Intercessors" or what have you.

They just want to clean up the wording on the boxes and whatnot. You'll be fine picking up any of the Combat Patrol boxes, I strongly doubt anything from those will be going to Legends any time soon (Except maybe those shitty turrets in the Iron Hands box no one ever uses).
>>
>>96588496
>Lately I've been feeling the itch and wanted to get back in
Recommendation: don't
>what the hell am I supposed to buy?
Nothing.
>>
>>96588496
>/tg/ what the hell am I supposed to buy?
the box of 10 marines that looks coolest to you
>>
>>96588496
>the next edition is coming soonish and Primaris is getting phased out?
Next edition might make primaris tacticals or some shit like that but primaris are here to stay and the shorter marines are on the wat out.
Normal units aren't really a thing anymore either, in practical terms you can make an army of only dreadnoughts, or spamming whatever type of unit you want with no real limitations of a force organisation chart.
Closest thing to the basic units are units whose datasheet include the "battleline" keyword, making them good at holding objectives, in a primaris marine army that's the 3 types of intercessors.

Considering the cost of entry nowadays, I'd either grab a kill team so you have a painting project with enough bits to make the various dudes different, or a bundle box, like a combat patrol or one of the battleforces they release around christmas, or one half of the starter set.
>>
>>96588496
>thinly veiled primaris vs firstborn shitpost

Not really, they have bureaucratic issues as well. Everything a Tau can do is determined by their caste. Water caste Tau can't even commit violence in self defense due to how strongly ingrained the Ethereal brainwashing is. Fire warriors can't perform anything other than the most minor maintenance on their equipment, and so on. It's not nearly as bad as the worst excesses of imperial bureaucracy but they're not always the most practical.

So that actually looks like a tiny bit too much water. Metallics are kinda fussy about thinning but it looks like that would be perfect with one more coat. If you can still see the dark undercoat after doing a coat just let that one dry and hit it again
>>
>>96588584
Eh, humans and other auxiliaries can fill in the gaps. Plus the Tau actually automate their industry and infrastructure so every Earth caste might be commanding a dozen or more drones each of which is doing the equivalent of what an Imperium menial laborer could accomplish on their own. And while the caste system is a bit rigid, they are better at their jobs at least, helped along by not having a technophobia.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna say it. Grots need a new kit.

Yea, they are basically glorified objective holders, but fuck me has their old kit aged. Some of their faces look like the old Clan rat faces.

What's the minimum number of kits necessary for it to count as a refresh?
Is it a refresh if the basic units (kabalites, wytches, wracks) aren't touched?
Is it a refresh of it's only kits for brand new units and not updates to old units?

because the mainline gw studio and the specialist gw studio are in a competition and the higher ups arbitrated that the specialist studio cannot compete by using the 40k proper setting to make something like battlefleet gothic or, more dangerously, 40k epic, which would promise customers a cheaper 40k wargame alternative to 28mm 40k while having the factions and units they like plus some they would otherwise not get like titans

So I decided to go down the Chapter specific subreddits rabbit hole I know, I know and I start to think Raptors may be actually the weirdest one. The community there has a lot of vets and active soldiers and personnel which is understandable considering the chapter's theme, color scheme etc. What I wasn't expecting is how autistic they are about the paint scheme, armor markings etc. Half of the posts had people commenting on if the paintjob is passing the "chapter culture check". Not even IW players are this autistic.

Assault Terminators will be revealed on Monday.

this is why if your going to paint a successor chapter its better to go with an obscure one so you cant have autistic retards complaining that you painted a kneepad wrong or something.

Just because "plastic soldiers" is connected with "cheap toy" in your head does not make it a reality.

You're describing like 3-5 different users. BLfag frequently posts multiple responses to xis own posts (all written in the same style, too autistic to assume a different tone of voice or vocabulary. total fag).

They are not marketing to kids. When was the last release of the "Warhammer adventures" book series? And when was the last nostalgia-bait character release, either based upon an old classic artwork or an old classic miniature? Do you even think before posting always the same nonsense takes?
They market towards kids of the 90s. But guess what, those are grown up men now. With money to waste on "cheap" plastic toys. Lots of them.

Elaborate why. Narratively, Dark Eldar raids have increased in number since the galaxy was ripped in half by the Great Rift. The worlds of Imperium Nihilus are ripe for picking and the Dark Eldar are probably more relevant to the setting than ever before. Game wise, they are in dire need of a refresh. So explain why they aren't starter material, and don't say "they aren't popular enough" because both Necrons and Nids saw an influx of players thanks to being their respective editions' baddies.
>>
>>96589245
>>96589254
Are you smoking fucking crack? Screamer-Killer, Barbagaunts, and Neurogaunts are utterly unusable. Winged Tyranid Prime and Termagants are mid at best. VRLs are a Lictor downgrade. The Neurotyrant is the only good model in that whole box.

You will get told that they are "too evil". Rape/torture does not market well towards kids and all that bullshit, and maybe GW does think that way (it did not stop them from using Skaven for AoS tho). Eldar in general could need some attention. But GW is boring, so it probably will be Ultramarines Vs Orks on Armageddon.

Everything is expensive.. you are onto something Anon. Buy the models that are available and stop crying. A combat patrol box saves you how much? 50? That's not even a troop box. What would it change if they had an awesome box. You save some pennies but still buy expensive models.

You know I keep hearing this but 40k being edgy/metal as shit was exactly what attracted me to it as a kid since it made it look way cooler than the other stuff around. Do Marketers and the people who post this stuff just not realize that kids like cool things and trying to sand out the coolness makes them like it less

Kids have no money, and stuff needs to be bought by their Christian soccer moms. See how Lego avoids having realistic guns in their police sets or avoids military sets in general, while lego guns and tanks are the bestselling sets everywhere else. So yes, marketing does play a bit role.
>>
>>96589320
Same as always, you get one character for free in those boxes. And since characters are completely overpriced, GW wins while the buyer actually thinks made a good deal there.

EC book doesn't have any of the "rape and torture everyone" vibe that Slaanesh armies used to have two or three decades ago.
Source: i got the EC release box with the cool shiny book and actually read it.
I get around this by naming my army the rapelords of the spaffchalice.

>>96588840
I am planning my own IW army list as my 2026 project and here's my current gameplan.
>Legionaries are a mix of the CSM kit and Mk III Marines, with different stages of chaos taint here and there
>Havocs are more or less the same
>Terminators use the Cataphractii kit as a base if that rumor about a new version of that kit is true, otherwise stick with the regular Chaos Terminators
>Abbadon is a kitbash from the Saturnine Praetor but less aquilas and more spikes.
>One squad of Obliterators run as the stock kit, one squad is a kitbash using necromunda Ambots as a base
>Helbrutes, Forgefiends, and other Vehicles/Daemon Engines use 40k kits

Basically some members of the army are more fallen towards chaos than others. My thought point is "Using 30k bits together with 40k bits is a nice way to make the army more of "my dudes" but painting up a bunch of HH models and calling it a 40k army is hella gay.
>>
>>96589378
two out of my three armies suck, they should fix that
>>
>>96589321
They could get away with it back then because their target audience were nerds who were completely okay with all kinds of fucked up stuff, but now the average modern nerd gets physically uncomfortable with concepts like slavery or rape, and will likely protest to seeing it in any media or fan discussion. Now that they’re wanting to expand to normies (who have always baulked at over the top content), and their mainstay audience no longer likes it, there’s no real reason to keep promoting edgy aspects of 40K
>>
>>96588744
>the first founding chapter with the least amount of fans
>and gw's most awkward chapter to promote to where they didn't get some chaos tanks because the funny naming conventions
>being in a starter box

i could see them doing that for a limited box, but they seemed to do less of those for 10th edition and there's no reason to think that wouldn't continue for 11th
i would want this to see both factions actually get the support they deserve
>>
>>96589123
both units are getting fielded regardless because terminators are cool
whichever doesn't get the librarian is getting a captain slapped on
>>
>>96589259
GW makes the most money at the begining of the edition since it's when most people buy into 40k and buy an army.
And to maximize the revenue gained from that it makes sense for GW to use the most "safe"/"boring" things for it. Which in this case would be Ultramarines vs Orks.
Dark Eldar are just unpopular from the get go do their theming and what their main shtick as a faction is.
