>>96611651I like orks :D
Let chaos idols take this thread
>>96611662>What chaos vehicles could I use it as to make make sense gameplay-wise and such?a Land Raider I guess but Fellblades are fucking BIG
I hate tau
Do you think they'll update the Assault Terminators datasheet with the new kit?
How's your September collage entry doing, anons?Also post models.
>>96611664>Idols>PluralPretty sure Gadget would be repping Vashtorr anyway
>>96611671meant for >>96611652
>>96611674What's actually new about it? Didn't all those weapon profiles already exist on the current sheet?
why are tanks so expensive
>>96611686Because paypiggies keep buying them.
>>96611671I wish I didn't play TSons just so I could use a Spartan
>>96611676There's a September collage!? Also nice model. Loved seeing the beginning of your model getting the skeleton parts sculpted on it, and now seeing it painted is just a treat.
>>96611671Thats a big land raider.
>>96611684It's just upscaled like the regular terminators that came out with 10th edition are.
>>96611692>There's a September collage!? Ye, the theme is anything kitbashed.
>>96611677>VashtorrStill a flavour of chaos
>>96611710Well somehow I missed out on the announcement.Thanks anyways anon.
>>96611676Already finished and submitted a while ago. The fact you sculpted the bones on those is incredible.Last thread got me thinking, do you have trophies for any of your guys? Bits of other armies you’ve fought and beaten (or lost to). I know I’m usually lazy and avoid it myself. Only have a few kicking around.
>>96611677oh god, there's more?
Sooooooon
>>96611713>>96611664I don’t get the joke.
>>96611744the vtuber is chaotic I guess
>>96611742What edition is that from?
>>96611744Some people really like Skaven in 40k. Probably Adeptus Ridiculous fans.
>Find a KT Typhon box still in stock>I literally get paid tomorrow >It sold out todaythis sucks shit bros.
>>966117507th
>>96611757Truly the time of good fluff, bad game.
>>96611744she's the embodiment of Chaos apparently
>>96611744GW almost had her as an official vtuber mascot
>>96611770>>96611767I get it now and wish I’d remained ignorant. Thank you.
>>96611676Finished her up yesterday, pretty happy with how the kitbash itself turned out too even if it's a fairly simpleish one (Top of a Chimera hull fitted on top of a HH Leman Russ chassis)
>>96611756bro this hobby is too expensive if you're living literally paycheck to paycheck
im still taking my time and painting this piece by piece as i assemble it and i must say im *extremely* proud of how my painting skills are improving. i plan on going over the edged with a white dry brush to give some definition before finishing up with nuln oil to make it pop? what do u think of this noobie wip paint assembly job 40kg frens ?
>>96611744Back when the chaos codex for 9th was coming out there was rumours that GW was making a deal with Covercorp to do some sponsored streams to promote chaos, which coincided with one of their new EN talents who in their lore is the chaos manifest with a dice theme.Given the rumours of Lorgar coming back and Warhammer becoming more popular in that space there's a possibility that British autism and Nippon autism have finally sorted themselves out with a deal.>96611751>Probably Adeptus Ridiculous fans.Good bait
>>96611780Im not living paycheck to paycheck, I was just specifically waiting for my paycheck to splurge a bit more on it. I should have bought it when I could but I wanted to be fucking patient. So much for it being a virtue.
>>96611781Maybe take it down a notch or 3. Looking good for what there is of it.
>>96611787take it down a notch or three ? wdym ?
>>96611793Just, relax, I guess.
>>96611651>What makes a Warhammer 40k fanart piece a good fanart piece to you?It should look like it was draw by somebody with a fetish for high-tech equipment.
>>96611778Discover oil washes.
>>96611781you doing good, i wouldn't recommend washing the entire model in nuln as large flat surfaces don't look the best since it pools un evenly.definitely hit the sarcohphagus with a wash, but try and just wash the crevacies of the armour panels, e.g. recess shade
>>96611803im just posting a small wip and surprised + happy its turning out so well.....is optimism not allowed here ? :(
>>96611786You live in a prison of your own making
>>96611651>TQEither deep understanding of the setting or actual genuine artistry.
>>96611817It’s fine. The Genki shit just feels overplayed is all.
>>96611817they're being weird. keep paintin
>>96611830idk what genki is/means
>>96611840Then google it dumb bitch.
>>96611840Genki means "doing well" in grorious japaneezu
>>96611840It means the pleasure of being cummed inside
>>96611651>What makes a Warhammer 40k fanart piece a good fanart piece to you?Honestly there are a lot of factors to take into but a lot of it goes down to personal opinion. For me. I think the best fanarts show a genuine care for the setting while at the same time want to entertain the viewer. Also when the visual quality of the art is good that is always a nice bonus.Personally I think one "sector" of 40k fanart that is seldom explored is mimicking the ForgeWorld Imperial Armour model photographs. Pic related is a fanart piece. I think the reason is because not everyone can afford a large studio room to make the dioramas to make the ForgeWorld photoshopped images.
>>96611846says the faggot typing out moonrunes
>>96611857Damn, oldfag reference.
I played a Tau campaign in Dark Crusade recently and now Tau are cool to me.If this post ends in 1-6, I will take it as a sign that I should start a Tau army.
>>96611870watch this anon there is no tsukihime anime
>>96611872Do shotgun transport spam. That would be my list if I ever did Tau
>>96611873This chair.
>>96611858I really want to make fanart like this but I don’t have the space to make the diorama backgrounds.And if I have to draw the entire thing then I’d rather just draw entire image and forget about posing miniatures.
>>96611781Good stuff. Eventually you'll want to figure out doing something with the base instead of leaving it plain black. I didn't bother for a long time but wish I had got in the habit of doing the bases sooner, it really completes the model.
>>96611676My collage entry is coming along, I've got to basceoat the metallics tn and get a few shades done. Looking forward to posting him when he's done. Also>post modelsDon't mind if I do>>96611738No but I might start adding helmets painted like /tg/ frens to my bases>>96611778Very nice>>96611781Looks good sis, redemptors are super fun to build and paint>>96611817Ignore the fag, he gets like that any time someone is having fun or talking about being happy
>>96611676Good, but I've only done minor highlights since last posting a photo so not worth posting another.I want to figure out a power weapon effect next. Probably going to do pure white on the axe blade, fading into blue away from the edge.
Now that we've seen all the Codexes in 10e, was it a good edition overall?
>>96611676been done for awhile
>>96611896>adding helmets painted like /tg/ frensDo it
>>96611918No. Codexes don't fix the underlying issues of wargear, psychic phase and rerolls.
>>96611918Pretty decent, doomers will say otherwise. Excited for 11th and hope its only a little shit.
>>96611918its created a good place to start 11th from. I wanna see what they add over the next few years.
>>96611939I was annoyed by the backtracking on fewer rerolls but 1/3 of the armies had units with baked in rerolls and attached characters tend to add rerolls
>>96611806>ta'unar has a fat cow pussyUhhhhm mommy? Sorry...
Whats this about Corsairs?
>>96611952It even has a huge swollen clit.
>>96611970Lmao
>>96611952Anon, control yourself
>>96611970>>96611952Someone needs to draw all the battlesuits with fat tits and big hips
>>96611970I think that's the only Taunar pose that was done cool.
>>96611966the end of the edition narrative event might be Pirate Bowl with Eldar Corsairs, the Red Corsairs, and Freebooterz
>>96611988You're years late to the party.
>>96611988you want people to post "those" models don't you?
I have now started to build my self a wraith army for my eldar. I wish I could paint my dudes as biel tan or iyanden but I just cant vibe with the color scheme.
time to find out which unlucky hive fleet you're taking on a date
>>96612014I like Behemoth's color scheme. I'd play Court of the Nephilim King if I ever do Tyranids.
>>96611823>So did you catch the gravball game last night?
Painted my first model ever! Shitty picture because I live in a shithole.I know he has two backpacks when he shouldn't... I fucked up while building and that's why he got to be the first one painted. Other than that, how's it looking for a first-timer? Most of the advice I see is for bigger models like space marines, I kind of wish I hadn't started off with guard.
>>96612034cute little Krieger anon
>>96612034Extremely good for a first timer. You watched a lot of YouTube tutorials.
>>96612034Looks really good for a first model anon! Varnish that model and don't lose it. You'll be able to compare and see how much you've improved later on. >t. can't find my first model
>>96612008>I have now started to build my self a wraith army for my eldar.Rookie's mistake
>>96612034Good job. Stayed within the lines and even tried mud effects. Impressive effort for a first timer.Clean up the rim of the base though.
>>96612047No, but I am a color pencil artist. It's not the same thing as paint but I guess the color theory + fine motor skills are there.
>>96612078"Paint" a model in colored pencil. use a matte primer :)
>>96612078Makes sense. There would be a lot of skill crossover.
Showing up to battle with the Emperor’s Children in style to show you are also more fabulous
>>96612129genuinely kawaiiiii
How do I beat Drukhari as Black Templars? My army is mostly melee and they can blow up my anti tank rather easily. It’s pretty common for them to have around 14 dark lances. They get to decide when and where assault occur because they’re so fast. I do have some movement tricks in Companions of Vehemence but Incubi with dev wounds and lance are brutal. Granted, it’s rare to come up against them at all but they’re pretty strong. They’re easy to kill if you manage to mess up their plans, take out the raider before they can disembark. My blood angels have a much easier time because they’re much better at engaging with them but my foot slogging melee has trouble.
>>96612145dreadnoughts
>>96612145What the hell is drukkari?
>>96612153It's a drow in space
>>96612145screen properly using cheap bodies, counter-charge using your blender units. same answer as every other faction.
>>96612153Bro it’s been 8 years since the name change, get over it lol. IP and Trademark law is real. You can’t trademark space marines but you can trademark adeptus Astartes space marines. You can’t trademark eldar because let’s face it, they stole it from Tolkien anyway, but you can trademark aeldari.
>>96612164Space marines have cheap bodies? Which ones?
drukkari is a legitimately better name than "dark eldar" and this meme where we pretend to hate it is just pointless and stupid
>>96612186Scouts?
>>96612186same as it ever was
>>96611783Ironically, I don’t think she was one of the girls to play Space Marine 2 when it came out, and Mori was the one to do a model painting stream. Someone did submit a suit of power armor as a prediction for one of her outfits, so I guess there’s that.
>>96612164Screen the army with the most flying units in the game. lol okay. Oh and they’re cheap enough to come at you from multiple angles oh and they have a purpose built gun designed to delete marines they can put on all their transports.
>>96612186you're playing black templars anon.. the cheapest space marine bodies in the game.
>>96612181Traedemaerrk Lorrwe**
>>96612206Crusader ancient has fight on death for the unit, they really fucking hate that.
This is my Tau list for my first 1000pt game I'm playing this weekend, any recommendations on where I should go from here? I'm not sure if I should get a riptide or some broadsides next. I feel like it's maybe focused too much on anti-infantry firepower so I'm also thinking about getting a unit of fireknife suits for anti-elite shooting but that feels like it might be too many crisis suits. Also considering a unit of kroot carnivores for objective grabbing. Open to any suggestions>Detachment: Retaliation Cadre, 995pts>Commander Farsight: 85pts, Warlord>Cadre Fireblade: 50pts, 2x Gun Drone>Commander in Coldstar Battlesuit: 95 pts (1x High Output Burst Cannon, 2x Burst Cannon, 1x Cyclic Ion Blaster, Gun Drone, Shield Drone)>1x10 Breacher Team: 100pts (Guardian Drone, Gun Drone)>1x10 Pathfinder Team: 90pts (3x Rail Rifle, 1x Semi-automatic Grenade Launcher, Recon Drone, 2x Gun Drone)>1x3 Stealth Battlesuits (Battlesuit Support System, Fusion Blaster, Gun Drone, Marker Drone)>1x3 Crisis Sunforge Battlesuits: 140pts (3x Gun Drone, 3x Shield Drone)>1x3 Crisis Starscythe Battlesuits: 110pts (3x Gun Drone, 3x Shield Drone)>Ghostkeel Battlesuit: 160pts (Cyclic Ion Raker, Twin Burst Cannons, Battlesuit Support System)>Devilfish: 85pts (2x Twin Pulse Carbine, 2x Seeker Missile)
>>96612211Weird that a company that licenses its IP would care about trademarks.
>>96612219I don’t know shit about tau or what is good. You honestly might have better luck asking a tau specific forum.
did the chaos codecies this edition give any new and interesting lore ?
>>96612223No this is just GW being autistic lawfaring retards over basically nothing. Warhammer has continuously suffered as a setting over it for the past decade or so.
>>96612186the inquisition related factions, at least deathwatch should have access to low ranking inquisitors to be chaff units instead of basically still working like actual space marine chapters
>>96612250No, they got their ass handed to them in US federal court and realized they had to change if they wanted any of their IP to be protected.
>>96612258>low ranking inquisitors Not how things work. The lowest ranking Inquisitor has higher authority than any watchmaster.
>>96612129I like the candy ocean bratz coded base.
>>96612250
>>96612266or whatever the inquisition uses for fodder
>>96612266Anon should have said low influence, not low rank. An inquisitor's rank over all is often technically a technicality, and their influence is limited by their ability to intimidate, schmooze, have leverage etc the different Imperial factions in their area. Some Inquisitors barely can get any resources from their area of operations, others declare themselves Lord Inquisitor of entire sectors. There is a difference in the influence of Inquisitors.
>>96611918no. this shit sucked lol
>>96612282Case by case basis. Some work alone, some keep a small highly skilled crew around, some have a strike team or personal army, some requisition IG and PDF regiments. So yeah you could have a bunch of penal legion tier branded chaff, or a team of elite stormtroopers.
>>96612285Even the lowest influence, shittiest inquisitor in the galaxy would never be used as canon fodder.An acolyte, or even better a member of inquisitorial retinue absolutely would be.
>>96611993Sauce/more?
>>96611918It has some issues but people get a bit dramatic about it. It's really not that bad, and as others have said it's a good starting point for further refinements in 11th. I would be very surprised if they don't make changes regarding psychic but it probably won't be a full return to how it used to be due to the fact many armies have little to no interaction with the mechanic. I could also see a return to wargear points for vehicles but I doubt they'll do it for infantry. It's possible they just continue the current strategy of splitting vehicles into multiple datasheets instead of adding points costs for options.
Where do Firewarriors rank against Imperium troops anyways? Obviously they're better than Guardsman, but are they equivalent to Tempestus Scions?
>>96612315Search for "Tau robot" on rule34.
>>96612034Looks good anon, hope you had fun
>>96612321Better trained and equipped than the majority of guard, but I'd still put scions above the rank and file fire warriors. At the pinnacle of raining/experience the biological differences between the species probably provide an edge to the humans.
>>96612301If you don't think Inquisitors send other Inquisitors to get killed or walk into traps you don't understand the Inquisition.
>>96612129Decoden marines is a fun idea. I know the decoden gunpla scene is legitimately pretty big to the point where decoden places someone's sell hgs and sd kits for girls to decorate
>>96612372this is so based
>>96612200You've got a point, but this was before space marine 2 was a thing.
>>96612372Fucking adorable.
>>96612325Thank you king, as thanks I offer you a questionwould you
Why didn’t Chaos Daemons get a codex? How do you field Belakor now?
>>96612395>fat tits>huge assOf course I would, was this supposed to be a trick question?
>>96612375>>96612390I unironically think if Bandai came out with a gundam magical girl anime that it would make them quadrillions. Gw should do it too.
>>96612396They got an index, and they have more detachments than half the codex in the game. Basically they have free rules, making them superior to every other faction in the game.
>>96612411That was witch from mercury and it was based.
>>96611676I kept jumping between projects, and now my work week starts, so it's probably not going to happen.
>>96612419I don't want gory, thinly veiled political storylines and girls in brown potato sacks, I want girls in cute lolita style dresses posing cutely with their big robots while pink smoke and stars fly all over the screen while they fight some monster of the week that will bever be mentioned again
>>96612372>>96612411Your posts reminded me that i wanted to paint a couple of my battle suits as tekkadan's gundams.I really hope the farsight christmas box is real since i'd be able to convert Farsight himself to look more like Barbatos, and a converted broadside for Flauros, just not sure what suite to use for Gusion and it's extra arms.
>start army project>get a bit in>suddenly get super inspired to do a different armywhat the fuck
>>96611676Working on this early phase Halo Device user, just because I feel like it
>>96612485How much caffeine do you consume and how often do you fall asleep listening to something like a video?
>>96612495two small cups in the morning and never
>>96612506Just don’t have a stick up your ass because you can draw. Basically try to keep your ego in check. It isn’t like you’re being original by drawing fanart of the warhammer 40k franchise.
>>96612506People are too unwilling to draw existing characters and individuals with fat tits and asses. There should be more titty art. Who cares about the gey lore as long as your art is cool
>>96612523>is discussing 40k fanart not allowed?Anyways isn’t 40k’s fanart scene huge right now?
>>96612321Tau are sorta mediocre guardsmen carried hard by there gear, which gives them a big boost, but still lesser than scions and Kasrkin, though that could just because of the special weapons the humans get. A pulse rifle is much better than a hotshot lasgun in like 85% of scenarios. Id say there roughly equivalent to Ranger Skiitari
>>96612537Anon, in this cesspool of a general, you get banned for the most inane things.I got banned talking about a guy comissioning 40k fanart once. I got banned for posting a mini ffs (although that could be the inept overpaid janitor making a mistake).But if you want to keep posting about some local thread autist only a handful of people know about like some unfunny and scizo inside joke, go ahead! Who cares if 2/3 of things we talk about here is about the general meta lore and not 40k?No wonder this general is the laughing stock of this laughing stock of a board.
>>96612411>>96612372This is pretty sad. I feel bad knowing this guy must be on the verge of a mental health crisis.
>>96612543I know that Firewarriors aren't as biologically strong as humans but they're still trained from birth, as far as training goes they get as much as any human does, the only downside is they don't get as much accumulated experience since they only live to be like 40 and the ones that survive to get promotions tend to pilot battlesuits.I guess I just don't really get the idea that the Tau are bad soldiers.
>>96612556Guess you’re right now that you put it that way.Maybe the anon got cold feet and thought what described would happen and deleted his posts. Understandable to be honest.I can now understand why people make 40k threads and avoid this general.
Tau fags are getting too uppity. The sad part is that it's all coomers with no models.
>>96611676Callin him doneIf th Suncrusher anon's around and has any input/wants his emblem done up just let me know
>>96612560It's a girl. She's a loe level idol
>>96612506Why was this deleted can someone whose definitely not a jannie provide some clarity so the rest of us know what is allowed
>>96612560>can't tell genuine femininity from a tranny's attempt at it grim
>>96611651Is it a good idea to proxy chaos space marine bikers as regular marine bikers?
>>96612584See >>96612568The post if I recall correctly is about the guy musing about merging his miniature painting hobby of 40k minis and his new drawing hobby together by drawing his painted models.Maybe it was too off topic or maybe a janny decided it was off topic or the guy felt that it was too close to being off topic and deleted the posts to stay on the safe side.
>>96612560i think this might actually be the first real case of projection itt's history
>>96612587if you cleaned up the chaos iconography surebut the better question would be why? the chaos bikers are so poorly aged
>>96612584Users can delete their own posts, it's usually done after a spelling mistake.
>>96612456>GusionA riptide might work since it's got a big shield, but I'm sure if you get a commander and steal some arms off some basic battle suits you could do some as well.
>>96612595They look cooler than outriders desu. If only the riders weren’t firstborn
>>96612595cause I found a guy selling them for relatively cheap and I'm perfectly fine with old models
>>96612396Because daemons are getting squatted as a faction next edition, and their units will now be auxilliaries for CSM codex
>>96612563Oh no I never meant to say Tau were bad soldiers, they are normal good soldiers, just like guardsmen. You have to remember that most guardsmen (and all of GWs favorites, Krieg, cadia, Catachans etc.) are also all trained from birth. I would hazard though that a Firewarriors training is a little more practical and less insane then most guardsmen. The age hurts them though, a Guardsmen has a (small) chance of living long enough to become a veteran whos a good shot, which is reflected in several of the datacards, especially in older editions, whereas BS 3+ is pretty rare in tau outside of commanders
>>96612626>You have to remember that most guardsmen (and all of GWs favorites, Krieg, cadia, Catachans etc.) are also all trained from birth.What? No.
>>96611952>>96611970>>96611988This is the best I can do
>>96612648
>>96611952
>>96612658Think of the bulge that crotch panel could be hiding
>>96612563>>96612626Why are both of you guys talking out of your asses?First of all, every single source about T'au physiology said that T'au strength and pain tolerance levels are nearly identical to humans/average guardsmen.Secondly, a T'au Shas'ui is said to be equal to a marine captain in skill and talent. A Ui is a fire warrior with four years of experience.T'au Pathfinder teams are known to engage marines and inflict heavy losses on them if not defeat them.Read the damn lore, you smut-brain captured dweebs.
>>96609816Is this retard still around? Even though I know you won't be happy and will keep those goalposts slung over your shoulder like a crucifix upon your death march until I literally suffer through every single dogshit BL book, I did decide to, in good faith, give you the benefit of the doubt and peek into Know No Fear.So this is Abnett at his best, huh?>They are warships that have gone a long way, andkilled a great many things, and they wear the insignia and colours of the XVII proudly.This is the best he can do, huh? Here, lemme try.>Clad in scorched crimson and sable, screaming skull defiant of the jagged gouges and smouldering holes peppered along their hulls, these monstrous hulks lurched unsteadily, as if lathered stallions put to stable, into the byzantine spacedocks which traced fragile and fractal courses along the firmament above Calth, weblike in their sprawl. I've read better ERP sessions than this shit.I'll power through this shit but this is not a great first impression
>>96612219Get strike teams or kroot for more infantry when you play bigger games because your going to need guys to sit back ontop of objectives all game, also broadside suits would be my go to for fuck you anti-tank if you find you need to deal with main battle tanks more. But your sunforges are anti-tank units and the ghostkeel has a S12 melta gun which should be sufficient for 1K pointsI think your list is overeliant on battlesuits so you might have trouble with scoring on objectives and plasma/autocannon weapons are going to be a problem if your opponent can somehow take them en masse but since its 1K it shouldn't be possible to take that many to where your fucked.
>>96612663There might be an uncensored version of the image I can't post...
>>96612666>Rogal Dorn: EH THOUSANDS OF YEA'S AGO I KICKED YOUR ASS, AND I'M ABOUT'TA DO IT AGAIN.
>>96612626>>96612634Cadians are, and they're the sort of 'default' Guardsman regiment that's most typically thought of, but they're definitely not the most common. Your average Guardsman regiment is going to be a hiver regiment, composed of people that, while certainly grew up having a rough life that made them 'hard', they're not inherently more disciplined either. Hence the need for Commisars to provide 'encouragement'.Really though, the biggest advantage Fire Warrior training has over Guardsman training isn't 'grittiness' or how much of a badass one is over the other, but as the other anon mentioned, simple practicality. A Kriegsman is a cold, hard soldier...who practices World War 1 style trench warfare. Regardless of how much of a badass he is, that is sa horribly inefficient way to fight. By contrast, a Fire Warrior practices much more modern techniques in combat.This can give the impression that Fire Warriors are only good because of their equipment, but the truth is more along the lines of them training in what they're good at. What this essentially means is that on the tabletop, what makes a Fire Warrior's training good won't be represented in their stats, but rather in how their player uses them.
>>96612634nta but cadians and krieg are literally trained from birth and catachan is a violent death world and only the strong survive to adulthood so they're hardened killers before they even join the guard.>>96612543Hotshot lasguns and imperial plasma guns are superior to pulse rifles because tau prioritize their plasma equipment being safe to handle over deadly so the firepower they output is much weaker than imperial plasma but still stronger than a boltgun.
Dark Angels or Black Templars?
>>96612682>Hotshot lasguns and imperial plasma guns are superior to pulse rifles because tau prioritize their plasma equipment being safe to handle over deadly so the firepower they output is much weaker than imperial plasma but still stronger than a boltgun.Hotshot lasguns don't melt through power armor. new marks of pulse carbines do.Comparing plasma guns to pulse rifles is retarded since plasma guns are used against heavy armoured targets and can fire only a dozen or fewer shots before going critical or needing hours to reload.The plasma guns equivalents on the T'au side are the plasma rifles wielded by the T'au suits, which easily tear through marines and have the advantage of continious fire with no fear of expolding.
>>96612674Based
>>96612697Black Templars are grimdark retards in the lore and in real life If you play them, people are going to assume you are a chud or a racist.They have the worst reputation compared to all factions
>>96612666I liked the short story in HH where the night lord first captain basically called curze a retard and a loser to his face.
Tau, hate
>>96612704>They have the worst reputation compared to all factionsEldarfag hands typed this post
>>96612704Thats either Eldar or Tau.
>>96612704>They have the worst reputation compared to all factionsNo that's still guard and eldar
>>96612704>If you play them, people are going to assume you are a chud or a racistdo you ever actually go outside and interact with normal people? This is a legitimate question
>>96612698>Hotshot lasguns don't melt through power armor.They've been able to pierce power armour for ages.>needing hours to reload.According to a book that also says volcano cannons need crystallized heretics to work.>with no fear of expolding.Imperial plasma been safe for ages too.What is this, amateur hour?
>>96612706Sounds fuckin hilarious, and he's right.Anyway, let's continue > There is already talk of a projected superorbital plate. Like Terra. Terra hassuperorbital plates. The master worlds of the Imperium have plates.Why do these space marines have the inner voice of fucking cavemen?>Ug. Grugicus see plate in sky. Terra have plate. Now Calth have plate. Make Grugicus happy.This anon had to have been trolling me. I must've fell for it
>>96612698Pulse rifles are literally weaker plasma guns that don't produce as much of a punch but they don't fucking explode. Also are you dumb? The entire point of hotshot lasguns is that they are issued to scions because they CAN shoot through power armor. But unlike pulse rifles they're difficult to assemble and require and entire external power pack. And the tau mounting even stronger plasma guns on crsisis suits doesn't mean that pulse rifles aren't equivalent to imperial plasma weapons because guess what dipshit? Pulse rifles fire plasma.Also FYI imperial plasma has been given like 6 different ways in which it works in the books so I would take alot of that with a grain of salt about it needing entire hours to reload after just 12 shots.
>>96612724>They've been able to pierce power armour for ages.In concentrated rapid fire, not through single shots like the Pulse carbines/rifle.>According to a book that also says volcano cannons need crystallized heretics to work.quit deflecting.>Imperial plasma been safe for ages too.Nope. In codexes and even in novels to this day, the unstable nature of Imperial plasma continues to be stated.In War of Secrets a Primaris marine comments on how his weapon has a chance of killing him.
>>96612724Your talking to a guy who thinks the average Tau Sgt. is the equivalent of a Space Marine Captain
>>96612737Like I said, amateur hour.
>>96612735>In concentrated rapid fire, not through single shots like the Pulse carbines/rifle.i think you're mistaking hotshot lasguns for hellguns
>>96612704>the worst reputationEldar and Tau
>>96612744Eldar, Tau, Guard in that order is I think the definitive list
>>96612730>Pulse rifles are literally weaker plasma guns that don't produce as much of a punch but they don't fucking explode.Comparing Pulse Rifles to Plasma guns is retarded. Pulse Rifles are scaled to eliminate infantry. But given now that they can punch through power armor It's safe to say they are superior.>The entire point of hotshot lasguns is that they are issued to scions because they CAN shoot through power armor. Prove it.> And the tau mounting even stronger plasma guns on crsisis suits doesn't mean that pulse rifles aren't equivalent to imperial plasma weapons because guess what dipshit?Yes it does mean that, you moron. The T'au utilize all manner of plasma weapons. Comparing the most potent and rarer examples of Imperial gear to the most basic and widespread T'au gear is retarded.
Xeno scum.
>>96612744>>96612746>TauCope harder chuddies
>>96612746I personally hate Eldar and Knight players. All meta taufags sold their gray plastic armies this edition.
any pics of HH marines being kitbashed with chaos bits for legionaries? I don’t want to make iron warriors
Reminder that as bad as these threads get, the average /vg/ thread is still somehow far worse and I want to thank you anons for not stooping that low yet. Jesus Christ.On another note what's a surefire way to make models "pop"? Effects? Stark highlight work? That one fuckoff pink brand of tufts everyone uses to compensate for boring bases?
>>96612752>Taufag meltyCase in point.
>>96612747>Prove it.nta but here's their it's lore straight from the scion 6th ed codex.
>>96612747Are you fucking retarded or something? My original post was that imperial plasma weapons are literally stronger and they fucking are. Pulse rifles are literally weaker plasma rifles that are scaled back for safety and production numbers thats literally what I have been saying the entire thread.I'm not proving shit on 4chan for hotshot lasguns either because every faggot moves goalposts and wants to be babyfed exact page numbers literally open a guard codex and read about scions but if you want numbers 7th editionPulse rifle AP: 5Hotshot lasgun AP: 3Power armor has a save of 3+ so pulse rifles can't penetrate it but hotshot lasguns can
>>96612760>meltyProjecting much?
>>96612762whoops i forgor image
>>96612758>the average /vg/ thread is still somehow far worseJust edge highlights. Base should be bland and muted to make the model pop more.
i got both lucius and fulgrim as mu first miniatures cus i find them cool, should i commit and build a whole EC army or build a dark angels one
>>96612764>and they fucking are.>posts tabletop statsSo bolter cannot shoot beyond 60 metres?
>>96612764I accept your concession. Rules =/= lore.As per the lore in Elemental Council and "Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good, Pulse rifles punch through power amor.
>>96612768I'm not the one lashing out because my army has a bad reputation. Blame yourself for proving everyone right.
>>96612777>I'm not the one lashing out because my army has a bad reputation.Bold words comming from Space Marine/Imperiumfag
>>96612780I'm a Necron player.
>>96612771dark angels has a more complete range at the moment and can use all the normal loyalist marine stuffEC on the other hand are pretty small still and it'll probably be a year at the earliest before you see anything else for them
>>96612781Sure thing
My maleceptor. Hard to get a good angle of this guy.
and the taufag melty continues
>>96612704You have two whole other armies that are straight up rape and torture enthusiasts, but a little bit of christian imagery and politics brained retards will lose their minds.
>>96612784he cute
I found some more of my old conversions i did back in 4th.i'm glad i grew out of my twelvie taufagging before i found the internet
>>96612785At least my neck and arteries are still intact
>>96612775>>96612776I already said im not scrounging through some book hundreds of pages big to disprove your faggot ass when literally any 40k player knows that hotshot lasguns explicit purpose is to deal with power armor including anon here >>96612769
>>96612786The bad reputation comes from the vocal Black Templars fan, not the faction itself.
>>96612784Really Nicely painted but pink on red makes the brains really hard to notice. Why not go for a more poppy color like a glowing neon green or deep electric purple/blue
>>96612790>>96612769Exactly as I said. It needs bursts of continuous fire to punch through power armour rather than single shots.Dumbass.
>>96612790>discussion about plasma>drop hotshot lasgun which can only be supplied to elite squads of kas'rkins and tempestus scions
>>96612791We get all kinds of retards here and I've never seen an unreasonable BT fan. Actually a few good ones. Seen regular complaints about imaginary bad BT fans though.
>>96612788CLAAAAAAW

>>96612791Tbf faction is designed to cater to such people.
guys.. I like chaos knights.
>>96612795holy ESL>>96612796it was a discussion of both in case you can't read and literally and I mean literally any piece of lore surrounding the pulse rifle tells you its a scaled down plasma gun that trades firepower for safety I don't know how you can be this retarded
>>96612802BTfags have a bad reputation from belligerent idiots with BT profile pictures. They're a similar breed to accounts with an enclave power armor profile picture.
>>96612807They don't look that evil. Seem like nice people. The best people. We always liked such people. They were really good people.
Is that "BT bad reputation" in the room with us right now?
>>96612816>and I mean literally any piece of lore surrounding the pulse rifle tells you its a scaled down plasma gun that trades firepower for safetyLiterally any piece of lore tells you that Marines fucking hate Tau weapon because it's bursts through ceramite armor with ease and renders their prgenoid.
>>96612819I think this falls under the category of 'politics brained retards' I mentioned earlier. I suspect 'bad reputation' is shorthand for 'disagreed with me on twitter'.
>>96612819Anon, please stop basing your world view off the interent, it's incredibly unhealthy and ruin your perception on real life.
>>96612802You need to visit more sites than this one. The online racists, groypers, and anti-sjw crowd exchanged frog pictures with Black Templars pictures and larp.
>>96612825that's one piece of lore to lazily excuse why the tau were in the hated section of the allies board for marineswhile ignoring the fact that 90% of the weapons in this setting destroy the geneseed organs
>>96612825Proof?
>>96612816Holy dipshit.Plasma guns are not to be compared with pulse rifles. You don't compare a light tank with a super-heavy crawler.
>>96612832They're both plasma based weapons you fucking retard obviously the deployment is completely different because of the scale of production and firepower provided by both but at the end of the day they both fire the same ammunition are taufags so mentally ill they literally don't read their own codex lore that says pulse rifles fire plasma shells?
>>96612825>Marines fucking hate Tau weapon because it's bursts through ceramite armor with ease and renders their prgenoidNah, they specifically hate rail rifles because the marines guts is usually sucked out of the exit hole in their armour which is what destroy their progenoid gland.from memory it's mentioned by either skrike or korsarro in the damocles anthology
>>96612841You might want to read Blades of Damocles.Marines were getting easily dropped by Tau weapons. Some of them were melted to slag.
>>96612844>you might want to read some BLsloppafuck off /u/shaskais
>>96612572very clean highlights o&t anonwhat did you use for the gore effects?
>>96612844Post the exact page from your source or it's bullshit.
>>96612848>/u/shaskaisIs that your boyfriend or something?
>>96612838Both function differently.A tank is a tank, but it doesn't mean that tanks are all the same and serve the same purpose.The T'au have different types of plasma weapons. Again, you are just focusing on the very basic Tau use of plasma tech.
>>96612844>Some of them were melted to slagyeah, and? mass lasgun fire has been said to do similar damage so long as theirs enough.
>>96612849How do you know its the o&t anon? You some kind of weird stalker or something? That's fucking creepy.
>>96612844Are you referring to a part where space marines were unable to recover geneseed from marines that got hit by tau rail canon?
>>96612861how new are you
>>96612861he uses the same backdrop for all his photos you can tell most of the regular modelposters apart from their backdrops
>There are gardens in the ground too. They are very green.Ok so this marine is actually just a fucking caveman? I know he's "unga bunga boltgun" but you're blending third person omnipotent narration with inner monologue and it's going together like apples and motor oil.
>>96612858No, they don't. It takes 50 lasguns firing at a single spot at the same time to melt through the power layers of power armour.>>96612851The novel expands on this bit of lore:>With his battlesuit teams leaping out from graceful Manta missile destroyers and his ground forces transported en masse by the planet’s magnorail networks, O’Shovah was able to react to the vertical incursions of the Space Marines with impressive speed. Targeting data acquired on the far side of the Damocles Gulf had shown the Imperial shock troops to be extremely heavily armoured, and so Farsight had taken the precaution of having every Crisis suit under his command equipped with dual plasma rifles.>It proved to be the right decision. The mass-reactive shells fired by the Space Marine squads deploying from each insertion pod were fierce indeed, but few penetrated the armoured shells of the battlesuits that arced down out of the skies. Under Farsight’s strict instruction, wherever one Crisis battlesuit was hit it would peel back to be replaced by a fully operational replacement. Wave by wave, the Crisis Teams descended, their numbers such that, from a distance, they looked like a Vior’lan seedstorm floating to earth. Hundreds of plasma rifles spat bursts of burning fire down into the ranks of the Space Marines, melting through ceramite and searing through flesh to scorch the ground beneath. The Imperial warriors were not so much shot as cored, the sizzling holes in their torsos exposing innards to the air.Let me grab more quotes from the supplement and novel.
>>96612867>>96612872Fucking creeps.
>>96612856Anon go re-read my fucking posts I'm literally telling you that Tau plasma rifles are weaker than imperial plasma rifles on a shot by shot basis because they trade the firepower for safety measures and ease of production which is why tau are able to field them for all their infantry but imperial plasma weapons are relegated to special anti-armor roles. I literally went over all of this in my posts.
>>96612861>>96612883
>>96612653>>96612658>>96612395>>96611993>>96611970>>96611952You can keep your blue wife, I want a tsundere big titty robot wife
>>96612877>comparing suit weapons to infantrybased retard
>>96612886That's a miss, creep.
>>96612877Literally not a single Firewarrior pulse rifle was used here.
>>96612849Thanks! This cheap sable brush I've been testing out with this and my techmarine feels like I've removed the training weight when it comes to detailing and highlighting hahaAnd it's just the uhu glue trick with blood for the blood god and some black ink in the thickest areas
>>96612877>even you evidence is using ap2 battle suit plasmaholy shit, this is your evidence?There's a clear fucking difference between tau plasma and pulse guns in terms of armor penetration.
Is there an actual designation for the bladeguard helmets? I'm tearing my hair out trying to find them in bulk
>>96612872Who are the others
>>96612893Your typing style is way too recognizable lmao
We're going to get to the next thread and he'll say he was only pretending to be retarded.
>>96612910Miss again.
>>96612572Looks fantastic, what's he gonna be used as?
>>96611970>Only three artillery canonsNeeds more dakka
>>96612918You can't just type nuh-uhWe all know who (you) are
NTA but here's how it actually goes:>Tau plasma riflesCan pierce Space Marine armor but usually need more than one shot, not something that will one-hit kill them like a railgun but not also not something they can mostly wade through without concern like a lasgun>Pulse blaster plasma and Railguns and Ion weapons and Fusion weaponsWill probably take out the Space Marine in one hit with good shot placement, although for Pulse blasters you need to be in close quarters range for that to happen
>>96612922You're off your game today and end up looking like a schizo. Also a creep.
I dont particularity care for old models, but crimson slaughter were just way too fucking dope man. They put world eaters, death guard, emperors children, and (especially) thousand sons to fucking shame. I really hope they can get a refresh at some point, its a shame the faction that actually evoked chaos was taken away from the setting.
>>96612932you're a retard lmaothose are literally just general raptors and terminators painted bright red
>>96612922You are a creepYou're a weirdoWhat the hell are you doing here?You don't belong here
>>96612932why don't you just paint your models as crimson slaughter since that's all they were? the only extra thing they got was a supplement in 6th ed.
>>96612916Its actually insane that some delusional taufag thinks the standard tau pulse rifle fires stronger bolts than an imperial plasma gun and also has more penetration when his fucking source is battle suit weapons lol>>96612926No one is saying that space marines can't be killed by pulse rifles because they get killed by even lasguns but they don't penetrate ceramite anymore effectively than boltguns and heavy bolters do unlike something like a hotshot lasgun which fires a burst of energy strong enough to do so in the first shot.
>>96612932They were basic CSM
>>96612927>>96612941Keep seething that nobody gives your decalsloppa the same regard as the secondary armies of the actually tolerable modelposters lmao
Tau Pulse rifles are like Space Marine bolters, bolters are not actually that great at getting through Space Marine armor, but they will get the job done if you lay on enough firepower. But, if you know that you're going to be going up against Space Marines, you'll usually opt to bring something heavier (even Space Marines would opt for that).
>>96612903>>96612899>>96612891I thought we were talking about T'au weapons in general.If you want pulse rifles you should have said so.Hee is a bit from Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good>>comparing suit weapons to infantryIf Marines are infantry so are suits.
>>96612953crisis suits aren't equivalent to marines you braindead tertiary
>>96612953well I mean suits arent mechs either. They're barely taller than marines, crisis suits that is.
>>96612932Red with bronze.. just not-world eaters. Of all the random chaos warbands, Crimson Slaugther are among the most generic and boring ones.
>>96612948>anon misses a clear joke Many such cases
>>96612950See >>96612953Also, the Elemental Council has a marine dodging Pulse fire because it would have punched through his power armor.In the Damocles Crusade, pulse rifles were ineffective against power armour. The Tau since then upgraded their pulse weapons.
Can we argue about somehting funny instead, like the time a couple of harelquins walts through the imperial palace killing the custodes.
>>96612956Yes, they are.Lorewise, Marines are always compared to suits or vice versa.
>>96612965>ermmm lorewisefuck off retard
>>96612964>like the time a couple hundreds of harelquins walts through the imperial palace and getting killed by custodes.fix
Harlequins cant die when they are killed
>>96612967>hundredsit was a single troupe(squad) acommpanied by a death jester and shadowseer
>>96612966Shut up, autist. The whole thing is a lore discussion. Quit bringing up the TT stats.
Actual question, does Tau fire caste view sex as a way to relief stress and do they practice it with auxilary troops stationed nearby?
I think the Dark King stuff is actually pretty cool desu.
>>96612973The Tau only restrict sex between castes to maintain purity of the caste eugenics. Since a human and a Tau can't make a baby together...there's no reason there'd be rules against fucking.
>>96611676I'll get a better photo of him tomorrow after work.I finally fixed my printer though, so the Hammerhead Guevasa proxy is coming along well this time (last time was just as the printer was starting to go tits up)
>>96612973They don't have sex. The Phil Kelly novels reveal that the Tau lifedoners go to gene farms and donate their genetic materials to birth new generations.
>>96612972Nope, TT stats dictate the fluff, you secondaries do not matter
>>96612971>it was a single troupeRead your own clowdex (get it? Harlequin codex), troupe size can vary from one squad to dozens and hundreds clowns.
>>96612975I would have liked some more elaboration on it but yeah
>>96612979Shadowsun grew on the farm in normal family
>>96612980No, it certainly does not. A single marine hero can kill a fuckton of enemies in the novels and codexes when in the TT he would get merked before he could do anything.
>>96612977Casual sex will probably just be something that seeps into Tau culture like all the other things that have been exchanged across species that have been mentioned.
>>96612975Holy shit its a stormcast eternal
>>96612981and it was described as acouple of players in the throneworld novel
>>96612980>TT stats dictate the fluff,So bolter effective range is 60 metres?
>>96612985your books aren't canon, sorry you've invested your entire self-worth into being knowledgeable on something as worthless as 40k novels
>>96612984Retconned by Phil Kelly. And it wasn't a farm. It was a family mansion.After Phil Kelly took over, the codex said that biological family relations are an alien concept for the Tau.
Is it worth doing the secret santa if I'm in NZ? Don't want to some poor yank or something to have to deal with shipping
>>96612794Someone's said that to me before and honestly it's just the way I want to paint this particular army.
Honestly Custodes getting clowned on by Harlequins seems fairly appropriate considering how the Emperor was basically a giant Elfaboo whose entire goal was to turn Humanity into the Eldar
>>96612991More canon than the TT.
>>96612932I do like the idea of a starter box getting an expansion like this
>>96612994You could add some very light pinkish/white highlights to the brain folds to make it pop more but sure.btw anyone know why mawlocs/trygons are impossible to buy online anymore?
>>96612996given it was m32 they were still in super depression mode after the emps got locked to the throne it's not surprising they got caught with their pants around their legs.
>>96612994Understandable, have a nice day
>>96613000nope~sorry /u/shaskais
Hey guys, hope you're all doing well. It's time for the september collage anchor posts. I'll try to post one each thread until the deadline. As always I'll check the archive too but submitting your models in reply to these posts is the best way to not be missed. If you submit the models to one of my anchor posts there is no need to repost the submissions, I see them, I promise.Here is the vote for next month's theme.https://strawpoll.com/BDyNzobWkyRVery freeform theme this month, excited to see what you've cooked up.
>>96612960It's unironically a creepy schizo. Just ignore and move along. He's mad he missed.
>>96613010What is this new schizophrenic tic
why do people hate u/shaskais? Is it just because he has a name to this place?
>>96613013You really can't help yourself
>>96613015I dont even know what the fuck this means
>>96613015because he's been an insufferable retard on this board spamming his bookslop discussions and abaddon and tau wank for YEARS
>>96612996>>96613003The author said he didn't know custodes were not marines and that they were supposed to be stronger than marines. Still Custodes power levels are not very consistent.
>>96613002Aren't they meta now. Metachasers probably just bought them in bulk
>>96612992>After Phil Kelly took over, the codex said that biological family relations are an alien concept for the Tau.So they shouldn't have problem with casual sex
>>96613022that sounds like a custodes problem.
>>96613016Nope
>>96613026They don't have sex. What is with the tau incels in this thread?
>>96612996>Emperor was basically a giant ElfabooHe wasn't.He wanted humanity to avoid fate of Eldar and he succeeded
>>96612872I specifically mix up my backdrops to avoid this
>>96613038Jokes aside I do really think it's creepy that some anons memorize backdrops and feel the constant need to name model posters and call their names at every occasion. Well maybe not creepy... sad is probably the better word. Like they pretend to have friends here or something.
>>96613037>stuck in a downward spiral>will never be able to regain the heights of their empireYes Humanity truly avoided the fate of the Eldar
>>96613037>"Hey guys to avoid the fate of the Eldar we need to use the Eldar webway and then evolve into a bunch of natural psykers like the Eldar"
>>96613044this post reeks of jealous
>>96613044I think it's more about giving them some attention to make sure they feel appreciated honestly.
>>96613046>>96613037Actually, the Emperor himself said he failed.Also, the founders of the setting Rick-P and Alan Merrit said that humanity's fate is to fall as the Eldar did
>>96613044>a sense of community is creepyAnon I think you might be autistic. There is a clear difference between saying "oh hey it's *poster" and "i know from where the sun is hitting in your posts that you live at this longitude"
>>96613036>They don't have sex.[citation needed]
>>96613046>>will never be able to regain the heights of their empireIt's Eldar problem, not humans>>966130491) It's not an Eldar Webway, old ones made it2) Unlike Eldar Emperor knows how it works and knows how to construct new tunnels.3) Migration ito Webway was supposed to halt psychic awakening of humanity

>>96613065Phil Kelly said on the Farsight podcast that Tau reproduction is automated and artificial, and it utilises cloning too.So in a sense, they are like the Leagues of Votan,n who also don't have sex.
So the guy wrote two fucking words for the thoughts and motivations of caveman marine, but he'll list an entire fucking manifest of every ship, station, and 2013 Ford Fiesta ST owned by Oll's half brother's servitor's constructor's dad's wife's girlfriend's son's goldfish? What the fuck is wrong with this cretin? Why anon, why would you saddle me with this heinous garbage? Why would you willingly inflict this torture on another human being? What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>96613070forgot goodwolfanon with his brick wall backdrops
>>96613051>>96613058>>96613062Sometimes I just genuinely find it creepy how anons act here. That's all. The backdrop thing and immediate name drop just felt weird to me.
>>96613078he also forgot GKanon with his breadbasket
>>96613070>sloppers:(
>>96613070The one dudes laptop
>>96613070I think I've posted a grand total of like 3 images that weren't my bathroom wall.
>>96613038With how observant some people here I'm fairly sure most regular modelposters would get recognized even if they posted pictures with completely different backgrounds.
>>96613073>Phil Kelly said on the Farsight podcast that Tau reproduction is automated and artificial, and it utilises cloning too.And..?
If the Tau pulse sperg is still hear can you give me a 2k tau list? Since you play this game and aren't a seconday.
>Backdrop stalking is creepy >Aha, this must be my cue to post my exhaustive backdrop stalking research list
>>96613116It's not creepy you sad little /v/ermin
Having memory? Ick, that's pretty creepy.
>>96613117I just found the timing funny
I hope this general never changes
>>96613022>Guy Haley>didn't know custodes were not marines and that they were supposed to be stronger than marines.Imperator-class copium
>>96613117That list is creepy as fuck.
>>96613132It's an old book before modern custodes.
>>96613120That's called "stalking" by the authorities.
>>96613134>2016>old book before modern custodes>hhslop exist more than 8 yearsUh oh custroon melty
>>96613070>very high camera qualityIt's just a shitty smartphone camera, it's more about using correct settings and having proper lighting
>>96613134>before modern custodes.You mean when they were even more invincible, lmao
>96613133>96613139these posts are by one of the two sloppers
>>96613070>post all the time>not on the listDodging shitposts like Ali hell yeah
>shitpostsYou don't own any models
>>96613160>two
>>96613117Retard
>>96613166uh oh tourist melty
>>96613160Nta but now you're making me worried i'm a slopper
>>96613148>>96613159Almost 10 year old book is an old book.
>>96613169Unless you have a really badly painted death company army and emperors children or 5000 dollars of badly painted knights with shitty third party heads you're not either slopper
Acetone bath for this old lad I found from before I quit for a decade
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>keeping a list of anons environment and names>totally not creepySure, sure.
>>96613180>noooooo stop noticing things
>>96613177Please give him the same scheme but with your current skill levelI hate to see old models remade completely differently, it's like they lose something special.
Szarekhan (Silent King) or Sautekh (Imotekh) and why?
>>96613189Why? Especially since he has a picture.
>>96613189DW, he's one of like two survivors I have from my old Dark Angels army, gonna keep him and just redo like you said
>>96612664>T'au Pathfinder teams are known to engage marines and inflict heavy losses on them if not defeat them.What is heavy losses in this context?For example one novel has Chaos Space marines fighting kasrkin stormtroopers and the their kill ration of 30:1 is considered to be high attrition for the chaos marines.
>>96613177Crazy that this is still the only good terminator HQ model
>>96613070Thats kind of weird anon.
>>96613198retard
>>96613198Yeah I looked up the new one and man, it's just missing the sauce I guess, idk.
>>96613194>Why?I explained why or did you miss the second sentence in my post?>>96613195Hell yeah
>>96613177ngl, i actually like the current paint job.>>96613198everytime they swing with a plastic terminator chaplain they miss.
>>96613202nta but not reallyyou see somebody post twice in front of the same backdrop and you're gonna remember it the next time you see it, unless you've got serious mental deficiencies
>>96612920Thanks! Pretty happy with how he turned out with how quick the paintjob wasAnd just as an eightbound/slaughterbound
after 12 straight hours of non-stop painting and assembling i present to you frens......the best model ive ever painted. and just to shut up the nay-sayers i even did the base too. im honestly amazed that my noob ass could get some results like this and i have the nice encouraging anons from here to thank, so ty for believing in me and pointing me in the right direction !!
>>96613198The two limited edition ones (on the third row) are kinda cool but yeah the new one is eh
>>96613223looking good, those armor panels are perfect to practice edge highlighting on, so consider doing that when you want to try more techniques.
Serious question, why did Craftworld Elder get so much love recently?Pretty much their entire range with the exception of kharandras, vypers and the fire prism/wave serpent has been redone recently. They added a new phoenix lord in addition to the others.Meanwhile Drukhari got a new archon, and a special character, they got mandrakes a little while ago but they lost Urien, grotesques, beasts, and court. Why does one get so much favorable treatment and the other barely anything? Why are drukhari so consistently shafted?
>>96613197Here is the context.
>>96611661Sorry I went to sleep. If you're around here it is.
>>96613223and the back
>>96613223I'm really happy to see how much better this is than your first marines which I honestly thought someone had painted badly as a jokeI'm not saying this to put you down, its really nice to see the improvement.The only things I can suggest that would make it look immediately better are painting the rim of the base and fixing whatever happened here?
>>96613230i think the reason why the old metal one works so well is that they're not as ornate as the limitited edition ones, but its just got a bit more scripture than the current plastic one.I think it's the helmet that's doing a lot of the work.
>>96613198I like picrel too, sad it was a limited model
>>96613242It's still really weird they made one very similar to this, both were limited and one was even harder to get than the other
>>96613241nta but I'd like to add that the current termi chaplain is supposed to be some kind of remake of the old (2e?) terminator chaplain.
>>96613231tyyyy anon! this darn thing took 12 hours to do justice but im glad its battle ready ! one less model from my pile of shame and one more to add to the display carrying case >>96613239im actually soaking in a bubble bath with epson's salt to soothe my muscles, but ill go touch that area up when im out. the area is still wet so i have it in front of a small desk fan to dry faster
DO NOT ASK FOR PIC YOU SIMPS
>>96613249>bathpostingI do this too, it's fun to shitpost while soaking
>>96613244Didn't they come out right before primaris happened?>be me circa 2012-2014>luv spess marheens>huge new releases>kits have even more options, wonderful miniatures>Feelsgoodtolikebling.jpg>around 2015 take a break from the hobby to focus on other things>come back a few years later>mfw they did me dirty as my back was turned
>>96613236Cheers! I'll give a shot at freehanding it tomorrowHere's how your dude looks currently >>96612572
>>96613193Sautekh (Imotekh) because he's not depressed and burdened by regret. He didn't even lead his dynasty before the reawakening, he seized it and forged his own destiny rather than wallowing in the past. I like that.
>>96613262Nope, both those limited termies released after 8e
>>96613261im not a fan of shitposting personally. these threads already have too many trying to derail it constantly.....i like to use this community as a real time feedback system to mentor me into better 40k skills desu i havent even played my first tabletop game so it feels bad i can only discuss the actual game in a very very limited capacity....but im hoping with my army list i can blow my tutorial game the fuck out
>>96613234The refreshed CWE models were more than twice as old as the drukhari range. Unlike beastmasters, grotesques and CotA, aspect warriors are a core part of the eldar army, and arguably the most distinctive feature of the faction.
>>96613216Keeping the list and posting it is whats creepy
>>96613275i got mine in 7th ed
>>96611664
>>96613275Imagine working on a model while they're already working to make it outdated, then releasing it years later.Downright vile
>>96613283Nope
>>96613234GW can afford to update everyone now so they do. Eldar were due update for ages and always sold nicely anyway so they were updated. Deldar didn't get shafted, it's just resin getting rid off like it happens to everyone. All slots for refreshes were taken already for this edition so there was no room for Deldar this time. Next edition they will get their refresh wave alongside those who didn't this edition. Like Grey Knights and Catachans
>>96613287God shut the fuck up larper

It finally gets to middling bolter porn, the kind of action and thriller chops a bargain basement Clancy knockoff can manage, and then he stops it for THREE WHOLE FUCKING CHAPTERS OF HIS DOGSHIT SONIC OCS TALKING ABOUT WHO GIVES A FUCK? Fuck ooooooofffff! Fuck you you stupid motherfucker! You'd have to be slavering troglodyte to like any of this bullshit! What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>96613283Someone specifically asked about the others and anyone that's here for a while will recognize most of the regularly posted backdrops, stop being intentionally obnoxious
>>96613242Over designed christmas tree.
>>96613301Retard
>>96613291>GW can afford to update everyone now so they doBean counters at GW are oblvious to the mountain of potential (read money) a dark eldar dark romance book would generation, otherwise they'd be first in line for the refresh and greatly expanded. Dark Eldar could be as proftiable to female audiances as space marines are to male ones. They could surpass tyranids as womens favourite faction if advertised properly and if GW could paint womens faces beatiful enough for promo shots
>>96613291>and always sold nicely anywayNo, they did not.
>>96613305Doesn't change the fact I'm right.
>>96613296Reminder that picrel came out in 2016.Connect the dots.
>>96613202I kinda miss seeing russes with no sponsons.Be nice if 11th made running them viable again
>>96613242That one is one of their worst chaplains i think. Which is quite a feat, because chaplains are so easy to make look good.
>>96613301This fag likes inceptors
>>96613235Sounds like they were fighting more than just the pathfinders if they we killing them in from of other fire caste soldiers
>>96613297And now he's stealing lines from Star Wars
>>96613310Schizophrenic retard
>>96613296oh, i got the previous collectors edition one in 7th
GW needs to show that giant titillating statues of gorgeous women are a not uncommon site across the imperium more. Like that scene in blae runner 2049 with those two statues of women sucking an invisible dildo between them.
>>96613317It was a Pathfinder team that was wrecking heretic kill teams.A Nemesis Claw Kill Team was sent in to hunt down the Pathfinder team. The Nemesis Claw paid a steep price to defeat the Pathfinders. They used the captured Pathfinders as morale breaking tool by torturing them in front of the Fire Caste armies.They did the exact same tactic in Cadia too.
Is it true that space marine sales basicly subsedize the entire rest of the model ranges?
>>96613070>tfw i post semi regularly but it is always a different faction so people don't know it is me
>>96613301You don't get warhammer, primarishitter.
>>96613330>wrecking heretic kill teams.Killing traitor guardsmen isn't that impressive.
>>96613328>GW needs to showWhy do you need GW to do it? Just build your statues?
>>96613331Yeah they are the biggest money makers for GW but the other factions are profitable in there own right and don't need to be subsedised by space marine profits
>>96613297I'm not that guy, but if you're not explicitly looking for Warhammer themed schlock, you shouldn't touch it. I like a bit of themed schlock myself, but I'm under no illusions about the quality.

I imagine the galaxy the Tyranids orignated from looked like this. (if you have the view they were intergalatic xenos they evolved somewhere and not a bioweapon that were created or Malal daemons when forced into physcial space after being exiled from the Warp by the 4).Like the galaxy itself is similar to the alien chestburster symbol that GW has taken for tyranids. Just a giant version of a tyranid creature sitting in the void of space Thanks for reading my blog
>>96613341I know. I knew going in. But I wanted to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. They can't ALL be bad. There has to be something redeeming. Tons of people like this shit, they can't all be wrong!Yeah... fat lot of good that thinking did me.
>>96613378Yes, I was mistaken. I looked into it and the other anon was right that it was 7th.
>>96613387Bless you, you are a rare breed, I wish you ample copulations with a desirable mate and a long fulfilling life with those you love and who love you.
>>96613383The redeeming quality is the schlock has a 40k theme. There's setting stuff that ties in to the hobby plotlines. That's it. That's enough for some people to enjoy, I put it on audiobook in the background myself. It's my junk tv. But any genuinely high quality author just isn't going to take a BL contract.
>>96613350bruh
>>96613387>>96613392No idea what any of this was about but I'm happy and proud for you both
I hope we get to see some deceptions of the other aspects of the machine godElectro priests are a very neat way to show worshipers of the motive force
i tried to fix it as best i could ;~;
>>96613461looking better queen i'd leave it there until you're a more confident painteryour basing is really good for a beginner only thing i'd add would be to paint the rim solid black or brown
>>96613461Paint the base rims black, green or brown. Also post feet.
>>96613177Oh, way shittier pic, and they're dusty as hell, but here's my other remaining DA model, painted by a friend, I wasn't even doing highlights when I got it. Baneblade commander was a test with I think 5 layers of drybrush and wash, and the unfinished inquisitor dude was again a colour test. All of these are from pre-2012.
>>96613438It would be nice to have tech priests that are server racks.They would be blocky dudes with modular "memories" that lets them change their configurations.Also make them be very cold, so maybe have them install fans everywhere.Basically pic rel with legs and fans.
>>96613319Examples please?
>>96613461This looks really good for how new you are.As the other anons said, painting the rim is seen as the final step and makes a model look complete.Do not post feet like the other anon said
>>96613491+1 if the "servers" are some analogue kinda of machines
>>96613509>I fought in them you know, the 'star wars' they called them
>>96613011The kitbash is just a headswap if that's ok
>>96613535Is that the actual quote? Way too forced in my opinion.
>>96613537That's fine
>>96613328
>>96613537Ayy, i did the same thing but this isn't for the collage.I really dislike termies without helmetsCollageanon said headswaps count so you are good.
>>96612572>>96613267Looking great man!
>>96613547Yeah it was a ship captain they called space-runner talking to a marine about his history in the fleet, it was a little on the nose.
>>96613011Ayy I was busy and couldn't paint but I made the base for my Suncrushers terminator captain (counts as Lysander since they removed this loadout from the generic captain)
Today i will do some experiments with my wife's nail art stuff to see if i can transfer the checks to a models shoulder

>>96613509>"You may fire when ready," says Kor Phaeton.
Bros i was thinking about getting into 40k and get some SM for a start. I rly like white scars cuz i kinda like that mongol esthetic. Can u post some cool models?
>>96613597Also this dipshit thinks he can cause a blue-white star to nova with anti-ship batteries
>>96613588First test was a partial success, it transferred but smudged>>96613591Maybe
>>96613604I always wanted to try this using like a textured rubber sheet or something
>>96613600Just get into mtg or yugioh instead
>>96613602you can't?
>>96613600White is notoriously difficult to paint with acrylics so white scars might not be the best choice for a beginner tbdesu. Still, you should pick whatever you like so I dunno
>>96613600I think this dude is cool, and expanding the white scar with more asian elements, even non strictly mongol ones, is underrated.
>>96613610No. It's different fucking tiers on the Kardashev scale. That's absolute retardation.
>>96613621Maybe he used special ammunition, did you consider that?
>>96613621>Kardashev scale.Has nothing to do with firing bombs into a star?
>>96613621Dark age man was absolutely a type 2 civilization, they definable had things that could detonate a star and that's probably what he used.
>>96613297/hhg/ is that way.
>>96613621>>96613623>>96613628There's a "dropping bombs into the sun" scale?
>>96613646no, i just said that
>>96613600>>96613613>White is notoriously difficult to paint with acrylicsThere is always the option for one of their successor chapters with another armour color, but the same asian/mongol flavor
>>96613648Maybe we should make a "dropping bombs into the sun" scale
>>96613623the text says murder, clearly he's backstabbing the star with a knife
>>96613646if we can restart the sun in the 22nd centuray we can kill one in th 310century
>>96613602Complete autism
>>96613602>>96613621Its sci magic super bullets fire out of a cannon the size of a small city man. Just enjoy the spectacle.
>>96613623You'd need stellar quantities of it, the volume of these would have to be significant relative to the mass of the star; it's too big to fit in an orbital.>>96613640Yes, and I'd even give the Imperium Tier 2, but these are orbital guns; tier 1 at the highest. And they're not DAoT guns, they're Calth's guns. Mechanicum wunderwaffe at best.>>96613668Fair enough. It's still dumb. The Death Star could only kill a planet and it was the size of a small moon and also had space magic on its side; any space magic that Erebus would employ to metaphysically murder the sun wouldn't work anyway because in the same book warpstuff isn't affected by science bullets.>>96613669Do you know how small a small city is compared to a star? It's like a microbe shooting a person.
>>96613613pale bone on white primer is easier and with some red contrasting it will seem lighter, imo shouldn't be that bad?
>>96613655>if we can restart the sunIs this that one movie?
>>96613675>uses the warp
>>96613681The station is shooting science and the science isn't enough to kill the star and science doesn't work on magic anyway according to the rules of the setting. It doesn't work either way.
>>96613690its science bullets ENHANCED by space space magic
>meta-lorefags
>>96613291>always sold nicely anyway so they were updated.
>>96613655>if we can restart the sun in the 22nd centurayI do it all the timewho do you think restarts the sun every morning?
do you guys think we should argue about how leman russ's aren't realistic depictions of a futureistic tank
>>96613693I would agree with this if it was mentioned in the chapter. There's no mention of any esoteric ritual or malefic blessing of the station guns in order to do that, unless we take this following passage to mean that the metaphysical planetary alignment mercury in retrograde shit somehow supernaturally charges the weapons. But the weapons themselves are still described in mundane terms in the last couple of sentences, which puts doubt on that interpretation. If that's what Dan meant, he wrote it very, very clumsily.
>>96613709Russes are internally consistent with the setting's logic. Also they're cool as fuck unlike HH slop.
>>96613709I'd rather inquire about lions
>>96613623If you need to come up with out-of-universe fanfiction and ideas to fix a story, then it's not a well written story.
hearthguard or berserkcoin is the way to invest in league's melee? I can't get another 6 jacks-but-swords yet since im missing heka's (work in progress)
>>96613722but he's obviously stabbing the star in the back.
>>96613726Stars have no back and he's shooting it
>>96613728yeah, with his knife
>lorefags
>>96613724all in on berserkcoin for melee. some guy won a tourney recently putting them in sagitaurs
>>96613731A lorefag told me to read a book. This is the story of my mental breakdown as I try to power through it.
>>96613728That's where you're wrong, by shooting the star it faces you, creating both a diversion and a back to stab
I think it'd have been easier to just call the writer "shit at his job", rather than try and make sense of something he himself didn't give a single thought about.But that's just me.
>>96613737The books are shit, you should stop reading them and ignore the fanfiction within.
>>96613737you're gonna freak out when you learn about the Celestial Orrery then
>>96613743But what the writers made makes sense and is good. You just need to read the book more so it all make sense.
>>96613737This reads like an isekai title.
More of these "lore" arguments people have here and more they post sections of the books more it convinces me that the books are low effort slop made for the lowest common denominator who only think the book is good because it has 40k logo on it.
>>96613743>I think it'd have been easier to just call the writer "shit at his job", rather than try and make sense of something he himself didn't give a single thought about.We can do both, you know
>>96613755you type like a polack
>>96613749>read the book moreWait a minute...
>>96613755That’s how it is. The warhammer settings are juvenile.
>>96613744I know, but hopefully by making myself a martyr I can cast light on the lies of lorefags and serve as empirical evidence of the shittiness of Black Library. Let no lorefag trudge that nonsense in front of the fine folk of this thread, lest they be reminded of my folly.>>96613745That's Necron space magic. It's older than the dinosaurs. They can have it.>>96613754I fucking love it.
>>96613755the slop is debatable, it's just hilarious when internal logistics activates an anon's almonds and they can't turn their autism off.
>>96613011Relinkin mine just in case >>96611778
I'm making a loyalist imperial guard regiment and I have a thing for stripes. I'm torn between giving them hazard stripes like the Moebian 6th and the Iron Warriors.Or because the hazard stripes are already used I might use green and darker green stripes instead.So which should I go for, /40kg/?
It might just be easier to paint checks tbqh
>>96613789whats their colour scheme going to be?
>>96613798The colour scheme is going to be brown fatigues and green flak armour. Really the stripes will just be for a single shoulder pad.
>>96613789>green and darker green stripes insteadthe point of hazard stripes is to be visible, if you don't want to use yellow use orange or red and white or if green, at least lime green alongside actual black or white
>>96613803>or if green, at least lime green alongside actual black or whiteNow you've got me thinking about a lighter green and then a very dark green. I'll have to really think about this.
>>96611651Just a PSA.Write down the paints used for your colour schemes.
>>96613830>black>white>red>boneDone
>>96613704
Well, that was thoroughly unpleasant. All in all I'd rate it a 4/10. Not quite the worst thing I've ever read, but consistently below average.
I want point costs back.
How does the celestial orrery work?
>>96613865The books really are all over the placeI tried reading all the HH and ended up just doing the main story ones and a few here and there that seemed interesting like Mechanicum.I may be bias though, i love the tech boys more than the space marines
>>96613864These models are shit
>>96613675>Do you know how small a small city is compared to a star? It's like a microbe shooting a person.yea, its still "big" to us. I don't expect sci fi to have the size conceptualization of an astrophysicist. The Neutron Initiator part of a nuclear bomb trigger is tiny in comparison to the explosion it causes. When it comes to highly compressed ongoing reactions a chain reaction of some made up far future science could conceivably spread throughout the entire star.Also I didn't read the story so I don't know how the star is described but there are some very small stars out there, a brown dwarf is the same size as Jupiter. Neutron stars are even smaller (high mass, small physical size). If it's a Neutron Star you could even theoretically cause it to exceed its Chandrasekhar limit by yeeting a planet into it.
>>96613709its simple, perfectly scientific. It can run the entire vehicle by putting a subway sub into the incinerator and takes any fuel conceivable including dead bodies. it does that because it says so, we can observe it happening therefore it happens. Perfectly scientific. We don't need to know how it happens to know it does.
>>96613844>custodes watching the hobbits>cute garden with overgrown pond covered in flowerscute. tolkien would like this.
>>96613921I think it's inspired by this Monet.Those are supposed to be young primarchs but I can absolutely see them as hobbits too.
>>96613789Moebian color scheme goes incredibly hard.
>>96613926I definitely thought Monet when I saw it, they just looked so much like hobbits I couldn't think of anything else they could be. If it's supposed to be the primarchs young I suppose this is an alternate timeline where the chaos gods didn't kidnap them and have them grow up all fucked up and traumatized.
>>96613709Leman Russes are stupid, but they are simple mistakes made by someone who simply doesn’t know much about tanks which are extremely complicated pieces of machinery. HOWEVER it should be pretty obvious to anyone that causing a sun to go supernova would be impossible using a gun (even with big bullets) which is why it’s funny to rag on a professional writer for thinking that’s how it works.
>>96613223Anon, model is really nice! But hey, is it really worthy to spend 12 hours on a model? You'd better paint it worse and simplier, but save hours.Trust me, in 10 years, you'll lack that hours so much.
>>96613921lmao
>>96613882A Thousand Sons and Burning of Prospero were two of my favorites. Be warned, 30k Magnus is incredibly cool and interesting and he gets character assassinated after these very cool books.
>>96613887Eldar must have a rabidly devoted fanbase with no taste to consume such shit so quickly No wonder GW wants to cater to them more
>>96613930It does. I'm thinking of just picking colours for my guardsmen based on what I think is cool and just worrying about everything later.
How long until warhammers popularity collapses on itself?
>>96613939It's not the size of the bullet, it's how you use it
>>96613981What do you believe causes something like that to happen?
>>96613981>How long until warhammers popularity collapses on itself?Everything has a sunrise, sunshine, and sunset. Warhammer will be no exception. That said I think we are already the bronies of science fiction in that were incredibly annoying.Also what does your pic have to do with your post?
>>96610178>Likely fake, they gave him Gulliman’s statline. Would be neat if it was real though.You mean exactly like how the Lion has Guilliman's statline retard?If anything this makes me think it's more legit
>>96613844Damn it took me forever to notice corvus
>>96613992But eventually the sun rises again, but it will be a new day.
>>96613981Star Wars is more profitable now than it was 10 years, and 10 years before that, and 10 years before that. Sure, it's a matter of when not if, but these franchises once they hit a certain critical mass can go on for quite some time.
>Custodes players so mind broken by Primaris scale creeping up on their lofty elevated height that they are now adjusting them to be even taller
>>96614019Okay that's a fair point. I think 40k went through some dark ages before the sun rose again.
i used streaking grime for the first time and i finally get it
>>96613882I like to imagine this is them of their way to the afterlife, and the woman in the front has that thousand yard stare from having seen too much. To finally be at peace and on their way to an idyllic afterlife but unable to rest, a soul irreparably scarred no matter how comforting the environs.
>>96614040Why did 40k have to move away from heroic scale...
>>96614040>when you get the leg lengthening surgery out of primaris insecurity LMAO
>>96614053Because it looks like shit.
>>96614040Hue, looks a bit goofy.But to be honest GW is most likely going to update the cusstodes soon and will make them somewhat taller.The current generic custodian guard kit is like close 10 years old soon.
>>96614053Heroic scale was done, they made everything you could want in heroic scale pretty much. I respect you prefer that style, but its literally still there waiting for you if you want it.Personally, the new scale and sculpts are superior in general. I say in general because both old and new ranges have amazing models and total stinkers.
>>96614058That's your very subjective opinion.Personally I liked when everything was heroic scale because things weren't always accurate in height, but it was consistent and we weren't dealing with constant scale creep every other kit release.
>>96614064If only huh.
>>96614048>Here is my illustration inspired by Monet’s famous painting “Poppies.”>I wanted to be inspired by his work and mix it with science fiction, specifically Warhammer 40,000.>The idea here was to create a calm, peaceful landscape, patrolled by Sisters of Battle. One of them wanders off for a few seconds to caress the poppies, straying from her mission, from the emperor, to become “human” again.I like your interpretation too. They just cant stop, cant slow down and exist, they must go on even after death, not knowing the peace they have been grantedI'm about to buy it as a print because it's just beautiful
>>96614077Monet was truly an amazing artist and a great one to take inspiration from, thanks for sharing those paintings anon I really liked them too.
I really love this specific pose and scene
>>96614083You are very welcome.The artist is https://www.instagram.com/mr_coffee_time/
>>96614073>but its literally still there waiting for you if you want it.What infantry heroic kits are still around these days? DEldar, tactical/devastator marines, fire warriors, dire avengers, grey knights, are there anymore I'm missing
>>96614091>What infantry heroic kits are still around these days?I mean the old models didn't disappear. There are still tons of NiB of the old models and recasters keep the sculpts alive.
>>96614040keep it in the discord you fucking cunt
>>96614073I don't really care if people prefer the new models as models, but they're objectively worse for the actual game.
>>96614053Because most people don't like heroic scale.Most people don't like goofy little dudes.Also, a less heroic scale looks better to people on the box cover/social media pictures.TL;DR: Appealing to normies.
>>96614090>says he has a shop selling the canvas>no links in the description, just says its in his shop>google 'mr coffeetime art painting shop 40k' and just get coffee machines for saleIm gonna kms
>>96614107https://coffee-time.fr/boutique/
>>96614093Yeah I know recasters exist, I picked up some of the old mk3 marines, but fuck do resin casts if plastic kits suck to clean up and build.NiB is pretty market dependant, you can't find any of the old cadians in my region anymore because a lot of players didn't like the new sculpts and bought entire stocks worth before they were discontinued.
>>96614053Heroic Scale existed due to limitations of techniques, not really what the artists wanted over true scale or higher fidelity models. You might prefer it, but it wasn't because it made better game pieces or it was a stylistic choice. It was because sculpting was harder than it is now with digital tools and more advanced injection mold techniques.
>>96614093>they're not gone>Well they're gone from the store>but you can buy resin recasts from Vlad and ChangNta but are you always this dishonest?
>>96614115Whats dishonest about saying you can always buy recasts? Do you need GW to literally feed you too? Or can you stay alive on your own?
>>96614113>heroic scale was limitationNo it wasn't. Why does this lie keep getting pedaled? What's next, the rock was a gay bar in nottingham?
>>96614106>TL;DR: Appealing to normiesDisgusting, they're enjoying Warhammer incorrectly.
>>96614091Catachans. Genestealers, Tyranid Warriors
>watch game at LGS>player keeps on making decisions which I think are retarded and it's actually pissing me off>can't comment because i'm not a backseat gamerfor example>drew marked for death, one of the targets was a land raider that he hurt a bit but didn't kill, more importantly it was out of position and would get mobbed (and destroyed) in the next turn, perfect for keeping the card>gets rid of the card because he didn't kill anything>bunch of stuff deep strikes in on a flank to reinforce mortarion and 2 daemon princes, they will steal a point off of him as those models are easily gonna kill 5 slaanesh seekers sitting on ut>could rapid ingress his bloodthirster behind them (shadow of chaos) where it can't currently be charged, so that if the seekers get charged, it can heroically intervene onto the point and put some hurt in>rapid ingresses it right in mortarions face, ready to get charged
>>96614091Are DEldar supposed to be heroic scale? They all look pretty close to modern scaling to me, despite their age
>>96614126What's dishonest about saying something is still for sale when the store doesn't sell it?>It's for sale>well no it's not>just get recast you lazyDo you really believe people are dumb enough to not see what you're doing?Not everyone is as spineless as you are.
>>96614127People will always try and change the past to suit their narrative
>>96614115I never said they were for sale, I said they didn't disappear. I said to quote "its literally still there waiting for you if you want it'".
>>96614136Pubbies vary wildly in tactical acumen. Some are striving to get better but some never really will.
>>96614128You started after primaris and will never be a grog
>>96614138I think they were, but heroic scale just fits pretty well considering they are only supposed to be 6 - 7 feet tall and marines are 7-8 now.
>>96614128>incorrectlyNo, they don't enjoy it, period.That's why contrast are a thing, that's why options went away, that's why wargear goes away, that's why designs get streamlined and the tone shifted.That's the point: most people didn't like 40k or warhammer as a whole, that's the whole point of the era change.Hell tons of people here don't even like painting .
>>96614144>they didn't disappear>but they're not for sale>but they're there for you>except it's a chinese recastSome people would kill to have a fully functioning brain and you're using it for this?
>>96614044I must religiously stick with acrylics. I must not give those AK wargamer washes a go.
>>96614135Oh yeah, plus half of the Ork range.>>96614138DEldar just have fantastic designs, plus since their Eldar they've got that tall/thinner profile which masks a lot of the heroic scale tropes.
>>96614146I'm not really a grog, I've only been here since around mid-4th ed
>>96614158https://www.ebay.com/itm/326584452174
>>96614138"Heroic scale" isn't actually a scale. It's just a made up term to describe the fact that the heads/hands/weapons are scaled up larger than they would be realistically to allow for more detail/visibility. All modern moderns are still "heroic scale" even though they're bigger.
>>96614158recasts and printing are based, whats your problem bub? you that addicted to working with pewter? pewter sucked ass, finecast sucked ass, FW resin sucked as. Plastic is the best format but recast resin still mogs the old materials.
>>96614183Have you ever tried to build a recast rhino chassis?I'm glad I had a heat gun for the process because otherwise I would have just thrown everything into a fire.
>>96614159What do you know? It turns out AK actually has put out some acrylic washes, the problem or advantage is that AK didn't mimic the Citadel/ArmyPainter washes and went their own way. ArmyPainter washes are pretty good when mixed 50/50 with speedpaint medium.
>>96614179https://www.ebay.com/itm/205650975019You fucking mongol
>>96614190Actually yea, I did have a bad experiance with a knight questoris kit from china. I ended up putting it in boiling water until it got soft then putting it on the counter to flatten. But mostly I've had good experiances.
>>96614053Because it looks like ass and it's not what the people want.Make your own if you love it so much.
>>96614204>https://www.ebay.com/itm/205650975019That's crazy, I got a primed but not painted lot of 20 for 30 bucks earlier in the year for some kitbashing.
>>96614183Who you are you quoting?
>>96614213Maybe ebay isn't an infinite source, some supply and demand shenanigans going on here
do (YOU) try to avoid shooting big stuff off the board turn 1 if you go first?I think it's pretty rude to kill the big fun models before your opponent gets to use them, and I usually end up getting screwed over by that.
>>96614227Supply and demand doesn't exist, old models don't disappear silly.
>>96614193i will forever shill duncan's washes they're my favourite acrylic washes out there except the purple one the citadel wash is better
>>96614217Incorrect use of this meme, because no meme arrows were employed in that post.
>>96614205Alright, at least you've got experience with resin casts of plastic kits and the limitations and short falls that come with it.
>>96614238I used a couple of duncan's washes and they have this weird finish when dry. AP washes are unironically the best
>>96614139>when the store doesn't sell it?Stores still sell them, it's just not the GW store anymore.

>>96613992What is "bronies of science fiction"?
>>96614136>it can heroically intervene onto the point and put some hurt inHey! I'm noob, could you please explain me more on this tactical move?Here's how i understand it:- Opponent can charge his slaanesh seekers after charging it- That guy could charge that opponent's unit immediately after it charges, by using the Heroic Intervention- But charge via Heroic Intervention doesn't give Fight First. This means, that Bloodthrister can fight only after opponent finishes attacks (if he survives).- So it means, that opponent will kill not only Seekers, but also that guy's Bloodthirster. Is that correct?I mean, to me it looks, like Bloodthirster can't just hit the opponent, he needs to survive for that.
