vaults of terra trilogy -> watchers of the throne duology -> dawn of fire series -> dark imperium series -> cawl novels -> lion son of the forest. note that most of this is pretty bad but it covers most of the post-rift timeline events. the quality drop from the chris wraight novels to the others is immense.
otherwise if you have a faction or theme in mind i can suggest other stuff.
>>
>>96608639
Thanks Anon, I really like Guilliman so far and I'm reading Dark Imperium currently
>>
>>96608644
then you might like the first heretic -> know no fear -> mark of calth anthology (optional) -> betrayer -> unremembered empire -> pharos -> angels of caliban -> ruinstorm continuum in the horus heresy. lots of guilliman and ultradudes. know no fear especially is one of the best heresy novels.

fehervari is actually the only good black library author because his books actually read like he's just using the lore presented in the army books and taking it to its natural conclusion. He doesn't try and shit the bed and decide "yeah bro here's some melodramatic retard shit about marines/primarchs/jimmy the guardsman in a shitty generic scifi story with all the 40k stuff as set dressing (a trend Abnett established, btw)." Nah. It's "I'm gonna write stories that make sense as spin-offs of the fluff as presented in the rulebook and army books." Imperial Guard novel? Heart of Darkness in space. Blood Angels successor novel? Well, they're vampires, so they get a gothic horror novel. Genestealer Cult novel? Well, they're aliens that hide amongst humans, that's been done plenty of times but never in a 40k novel (previous genestealer cult novel was a Ciaphas Cain novel where he teams up with the fucking Tau, what the fuck?). So yeah, weird body snatcher cult story, that fits the codex. Stealth chaos novel? Take inspiration from the original Realms of Chaos and make the entire thing a fucky wucky deconstruction of a standard chaos novel. And then have the time travel and reality warping shit from Realms of Chaos permeate throughout all of the novels and short stories and whatnot. None of that gay melodramatic space opera writing style you see in the HH series or whatever the fuck.

For Chaos I unironically recommend the Black Legion series, the Word Bearers series, Khârn: Eater of Worlds and Lords of Silence. This gives you a nice spread of different views on Chaos. Eater of Worlds is one of my favourite 40k novels in general.

The real reason people would join up with the Tau is so they can eat some real food and not die of dysentery in a smog-choked hive slum.

The coomerbait waifus are just a cherry on top from people who recognize that 40k isn't a setting you're supposed to take super-duper seriously.

Decals are fine when applied properly and in moderation. Slapping them on en masse to hide how boring the paintjob actually is is pretty cringe though.

>>96609008
The decal meme comes from a guy who used like every decal on the transfer sheet. They're fine, though nobody will tell you that freehanding isn't better.

Broodsurge box is indeed a solid starter. Two trucks, neophytes, purestrains, aberrants, and a benefictus are all units most armies will field. The only real drawback it has is the lack of Acolytes, which are extremely core to the army. Which is actually the upshot of the new CP, being that it gets you two boxes of them, but ultimately it is less repeatable than the old one was, after like two boxes you really won't need more ridgerunners or bikes but will still need plenty more acolytes.

The books published in the last two and a half decades are, without exception, dogshit slop by failed authors forced to the corporate mines so idiots like you can spend more money.

how were they actually expecting kids to get into warhammer when the game is so overpriced and doesn't really have any alternative ways to play some board game based on the franchise?
they would be better off trying to appeal to teens who would EVENTUALLY have disposable income which they kinda already do with their video games anyways

they probably would have been better off creating some kind of side game based around the lore but clearly not connected to the main stuff in anyways like with Atlus making demi-kids instead of trying to turn SMT into a kids game

Orks actually like and respect the emperor because he can put up a good fight. They think it would be brootal for him to fight Gork and Mork

>The Orks have heard of the Emperor of Humanity. They know that Humans worship him as a deity and have seen his shrines and icons on many worlds. Orks regard the Emperor as the war god of the Humans. The Emperor is something which they can easily understand since their own gods are war gods. They see the Emperor as the controlling power of vast armies, great fleets and awesome military technology. The fact that his servants are all weedy 'oomans does not alter the impression made on the Orks of the Emperor as a powerful war god.

>The Emperor is even sometimes considered of almost equal status to their own gods, because the Orks, being a warrior society, respect and admire tough opponents. Orks raid and rampage throughout the Imperium, but the Emperor is still there. For thousands of years he has commanded the loyalty of his followers and sent them into battle against the Orks.
>>
>>96609593
His first plan was to shut Chaos out of realspace until Humanity were all psychic gods at which point Chaos is screwed, since each human would be akin to a Grey Knight
His second plan turned him into more or less a 5th chaos god who monopolises the worship that all of them crave and need to live.

They fear a fifth player to a game they have only ever played with four.

The Ork vs SM is pure speculation and not a credible leak. No Valrak didn't state that 11th is SM vs. Orks. He said he THINKS it's Orks because there is no other xeno faction who could be the antagonists left to update besides Necrons (still a lot of old models like Orks) but Necrons already got an edition.
So now. We don't know it's Orks. It just as well can be CSM if the Lorgar leak from Valrak is true or maybe even something Vashtorr related.

Calling them all "shit" is why you're an ignorant retard. 40k books have a huge range in quality, and some are truly excellent fiction.

You could say you don't want to bother with them because you're not really a book reader or they don't interest you, and that would be fair. But calling all shit just outs you as a moronic pseud. Even in the smut romance novel genre there are truly great books.

however more realistically they want the books to feature primaris marines and other modern models so it's most likely going to be a whole lot of standalone books with a space marine on the cover while the scouring is the only one where authors cooperate.

Corsair is also a companion in Dark Heresy. And Trazyn will show up in RT soon. It looks like GW finally tries into crossmarketing since SM2.

I also skimmed End and Death 3 and it was absolute steaming horseshit. Just 600 pages of a talentless hack trying to write purple prose to portray a psychedelic scene and he completely fumbled it at every juncture. Absolute flaming dog shit.

wondering if I can convert them to be just.. more ragged dudes? anyone seen them converted to not-chaos before? I can't really find any examples of it and I'd love to have something to go off of. the unit in general would work fine as Catachans I'd imagine, seeing as the only special weapons that matter for them are flamers which the cultists already have.

>Dante hears rumors of The Lion and tells him that G-Man still lives.

CURRENT LORE ENDS HERE(?)

And we know just from models and such that the Lion reunites with his chapter (eventually) and gives the Risen the rank of his Inner Circle Companions. Wolves are doing a Sidequest on Armageddon, the Tau are planning to invade Ultramar (Making this the third Ultramar invasion since 7th) and none of the other factions are important enough to do anything

Except that ones fucked because Cawl acts like the previous Fabricator General, Raskian, who disappeared in the last Vaults of Terra book, is still alive. But then the last dawn of fire book establishes he should know Raskian had died and has already been replaced.

I hope Wraight get to write (heh) about more M42 Terran politics so we get a bit of texture in the new High Lords. The cast he presented in The Emperor's Legion was pretty interesting but then half of them were killed in the next novel and replaced with Guilliman's lackeys who apart from Morvenn Vahl don't really even exist.

Everyone there except the blueberries, Russ and Lion went through some heavy shit, they've just had their armors repaired and cleaned. Dorn isn't exactly the kind of guy who would make a political point by keeping his armor damaged to argue with Guilliman more effectively so it's probably just meant to be symbolic rather than an accurate depiction of a scene.

Raldoron first shows up in Fear to Tread but Nassir Amit kinda steals every scene in that book so he's not that remarkable. He's just a level-headed good-hearted (for a space marine) leader.

The King in Yellow is Basilio Fo, which is why the Siege of Terra kept so weirdly fixated on him. He survives the Siege by cloning Zaranchek Xanthus, one of Malcador's closest guys and transferring his mind to him and then having his original body killed. Xanthus is one of the founders of the Inquisition and the Xanthism ideology.
Basilio is Greek for "King" and Xanthus is Greek for "yellow/golden".
The Yellow King has some crazy genetech like cloning Blanks and creating Blood Angels with wings, and Basilio Fo is an Age of Strife Terran warlord, the last surviving one and is a terrifyingly skilled bioengineer.

Basillo/Xanthus is going to be an ally of Bequin, revealed to be in hiding since his supposed "execution". Then revealed to be a part of/the leader of the Cognitae near the end of the book.

I know BL lost its hope. The Valdor book was fun, the first Custodes Valerian book was ok (the second one pulled an asspull "its all according to my Robutian keikaku" in the end). But any imperial or chaos focused book is such a slop.

>"By the Gods, here comes the Emperor with an Upside Down Crumbling Tower! He had those all this time?"
They tried to make the fight "deep" and "incomprehensible" but ended up making it just ridiculous and dumb.
>>
>>96610453
Yeah, but that's just the limitations of stories about space marines, IMO. It's like complaining about horses and revolvers in a Western.
>He's the best at what he does
this one is actually incorrect. Usually marine protagonists are good but not invincible and win by other means if they don't die anyway.
Actual best swordsman/duellists end up dying tragically or are one of the few truly OP marines in the setting (Sigismund, Kharn, Abbadon...)
Remember how Loken was far from being the best in the Mournival, except in the moral sense

Anon, the Emperor's Tarot was a thing many years before MtG was invented, and "regicide" has been a 40k trope since decades ago.
There's even a story called The Board is Set that foreshadows that fight in TEATD

Piggybacking from last thread, I believe the switch from the additive S/T table from 7th to the multiplicative table of 8th has done more hurt than help and 10th's toughness creep has only made those issues worse. The intention might have been for increased granularity but it practice it has just made gaps in breakpoints where weapons with different stats don't really have separate targets.

I think the problem with Bolter Porn is that they're predictable, but is written as if they're not.
One thing I like about the Gotrex and Felix books back in the day is because we all knew they will make it, and that Gotrek will still fail in his suicidal mission. But the fun part is the ride along the way and the damages they do.

Bolter porn tries to be "mysterious" but it ended up as dumb.

This is a World Eater? If so then make it a Space Wolf or Death Company Blood Angel (DC for contrast)

The model looks fine, its fairly tastefully sculpted. The only details that looks a bit off to me are the vertical chains on the right arm. Not everything needs to be OFFICIAL GW TM

Ok, let's try a better question. What would a theoretical Guard tank platoon be equipped with in a squad of 10 Leman Russes? I'm thinking something like
>1 Demolisher Cannon
>5 Battle Cannons
>2 Vanquisher Cannons
>2 of some other special weapon (Exterminator?)

What level of newfag are we on that people are suggesting PVA? That's fine for canopies and that's about it.

>>96609607
Priming on sprue is something scale modellers do do, but a lot of their stuff has gates on parts that will be hidden. 40k models don't work for it, and the seams are essentially impossible to properly fill without destroying a large amount of paint. You think you're saving time but you're gonna lose all that saved time in cleanup. If you're doing the absolute simplest basecoat and highlight, it's fine.

Do successors sometimes just straight up keep the chapter symbol and maybe change the color?
>>
>>96611563
look up how many blood angels successors have just the blood angels emblem but slightly different/recolored
>>
>>96611567
Oh, yeah, I'm dumb.
Alright, time to come up with how I want to recolor the Salamanders emblem for /mydudes/.

Skulls, chains, trophy spikes with skulls and chains on them, flayed skin ornaments on the armor, gore on the tracks, huge chaos star freehanded on the cupola.

make it a Daemon engine.

Really the answer depends on what you want the final model to look like.

>>96611644
Right I should have clarified not HOW to convert it to chaos but like
What chaos vehicles could I use it as to make make sense gameplay-wise and such?

>>96611471
I call them Malakims Ante. They're a crusade fleet looking for lost wargear. Also a daemon decided to troll them and make them all start killing each other during a warpstorm so now they're very sad
>>96611560
Nice, maybe I'll start adding little buried helmets for tgfrens chapters to add to my bases
>>96611563
You can always have speakers paintschemes for different roles in your army, they're yourdudes after all. Even if they're a successor they're your version of the successor
>>96611574
Do it in blue and make them sea serpent themed and have them be navy themed. Alternatively track down the old dark elf transfers and use all the different ones to represent different sea monsters

I'm just starting out and this the result of priming with white scar. I may have done something wrong but I also read on the internet that it's easier to prime black or non-white bright color. Any advice?
