I'm looking up battle reports for the new Drukhari and Realspace Raiders seems genuinely useless
>>96683648No plastic biotitan.I drew the line, I won't get back into nids without a refined hierophant or similarly cool big thing.
>>966836483rd for EC
because i copy other peoples' lists, i don't know know how to make 1000pt armiesall i do know how to do is spam the strongest units
>TQI don’t really care for Eldar outside of the clowns, and I’d rather not collect the same shit over and over again. It might work for custodes but not with such flamboyant models.
>>96683663I mean I like it in spirit but there is no dog on earth that could take on a gaunt.
>>96683656It's genuinely worse than the index version which is pretty impressive.
>PARTY VAN!
>>96683663>>96683668Ya, I could maybe buy ripper and even then biting into a nid is probably a bad idea for a baseline animal.
>>96683648>TQI have enough of a backlog already
>>96683648It really is impressive how poorly stocked GW's storefront is at all times.
>>96683681They dont have warehouse space to store an army that sells as poorly as dark eldar. They WILL be squatted next edition.
Let Chaos idols take this thread!Hope everyone had a productive hobby weekend.
>>96683681Uh, don't I need a character to play an army? How can I muster a legal force from this?
>>96683689I do actually like reading this.
>>96683648>TQconsidering starting tau but I'm not gay. considering starting IG but my paint skills are not consistent enough for 100 identical army dudes. considering buying GK but don't want to buy an army that gets a refresh soon. considering AdMech but it's just nonsensically expensiveleaves me with nids as only faction I consider remotely in the range of possibilities
>>96683681>why didn't they stock a million units of darkly darkie elfdari!Will you shut up already
>tfw no peak chivalry knight gf
>>96683648I already collect all the armies I like.
>TQMy country's economy is rapidly collapsing.The only viable option for new minis in the future is 3d printing.
>>96683708why dont you fix it
>>96683708What country?
Should the Dark Eldar be the strongest one-on-one fighters in Warhammer 40k since they're thousands of years old and have Eldar bullshit? idk I feel like the custodes take away from the Eldar's gimmick.
my world eateries :^)
>>96683704Give 'em to be battered and raw.
>>96683691
>>96683711they want me to do it for free, so i'd rather not
Why does nobody talk about 5th/6th/7th edition? Did nobody play those?
>>966837266th and 7th were the worst editions the game has ever had
>>96683689this image is a ritrualpost and should be a bannable offense
>>96683713The thing to keep in mind is that the forces of most Dark Eldar are just raiders who are looking for loot and not a proper military force. Even still, you have Archons and Lelith sometimes randomly just kidnapping Space Marine duelists for arena fights and killing Custodes to make a point.
>>96683716holy based, she looks just like my mom
>>96683726because they were shit, even more so than 8th, 9th and 10th5th was somewhat fine until the codex creep ramped up unreasonably
>>96683712nta but it's muttland
>>96683726every poster here joined after 8th edition
>>96683681> picks the least popular army because he wants to be a hipster faggot> WTF WHY GW NO STOCKkill yourself, it must be exhausting being a contrarian faggot all the time.
>>96683750That's kinda what I figured. Everyone either got in during 1-4th or 8th edition.
>>96683750You speak for no one but yourself.
Besides slaves are dark eldar basically post scarcity (if they weren't such dicks). For their real world raids is it basically all just slaving or is there other materials they want (besides soulstones too I suppose) like blackstone?
>>96683681Very impressive, they get to brag to their investors that their constantly selling stuff out. Just as planned.
>>96683759Are dark eldar the least popular army? I would have thought it'd be the LOV or SOB
>>96683726I have fond memories of 5th because it was my first edition I really played. 6th made me quite the hobby for a very long time though.
>>96683764Yeah, although they don't need to get new slaves either, really. They have more than enough understand of cloning to make new ones, they just do it because it's fun.>>96683772>Are dark eldar the least popular army?No, that would be your favourite army, which is gay and lame and gay.
>>96683764Presumably they still have bottlenecks of production and dissemination, with downstream effects of limiting the availability of various goods.
>>96683772>Imperial Agents are so forgotten they're not even mentionedAside from literal meme-status armies I'd wager Genestealer cults are also pretty unpopular
>>96683764Some of the absolute super tech isn't reproducible like restoring the entire webway but they more or less preserved all the knowledge of the old civilization so given enough time and resources they can pull out way more mcguffins (and do) than anyone outside of the Necrons.
>>96683772They're the least popular "major faction" by most metrics, with I think only GSC and Votann below them in total player count but obviously they're a lot newer and do better in sales recently.DE is a weird one to track for sales though because most people proxy half the Army because GW literally doesn't sell malt of it for the last 5 years or so.
>>96683784Any good stories or books where they pull out a mcguffin? (preferably a book as they always seem to lose to some stupid hubris retardation like in Da Big Dakka)
>>96683787All the resin just got squatted to legends so no more proxies needed :^)
>>96683701>Never stock an army for sale>It doesn't sell wellYou must be a GW exec for sure with those powers of observation
>>96683795Valedor is the most notable one where they use it to help the Craftworlds but I think Path of the Dark Eldar has quite a few examples as well
>>96683798They have always had a lot more stock issues than just the resin stuff. Them being totally sold out right now isn't exactly a new phenomenon, just more severe than normal
Friendly reminder to all anons:There is literally nothing wrong with being just a hobbyist until society calms the fuck down. Even if that means you're new and are no games right now.
>>96683823when do you think society will calm down? why do you think society will ever calm down?
>>96683829Varies on your local.Mine, for example, is 12th edition, at the earliest.
>>96683829>when do you think society will calm downThe aliens will return and subject us all to the Bone Inferno (like 7 years tops) to clear the planet for their re-colonization before that comes around.
>>96683829When you activate the black hole generator.
What armies are control oriented? I want to debuff and deny my opponents from being able to do stuff, trap decks in yugioh were my jam and I kinda wanna know army gives the same dopamine hits in 40K.
>>96683668>there is no dog on earth that could take on a gaunt.I would suggest that, and I could be wrong, they're not actually on Earth...I mean I'm pretty sure there's no breed of wolf on Earth that could carry a massive genetically altered super-human wearing 180kg armour into battle and yet the Fenrisian wolves can.
Starting work on my second EC Praetor conversion Post models
>>96683880They’re too custodian coded
>>96683795In Path of the Dark Eldar it's revealed that Vect has been stockpiling Soulstones in order to make an army of Wraith-Pain engine hybrids.In Valedor, the dark eldar appear to just bully the shit out of the craftworlders and give them a superweapon that will destroy any planet (even if it's been infested and reinforced by a bunch of Nid hive fleets). I think the implication is that the Dark Eldar do have some War in Heaven era superweapons but don't really need to use them because they only raid
Do you think people would be mad if I ran an Eldar Wraith army with Custodes rules because they're more fun?
>>96683883>coded
>>96683866Genestealer Cults for all that dickass tactics. Infiltrators to prevent any scouts and early objective scoring, cult ambush to pop anywhere, 6" deep strikes, ridgerunners tagging targets with mortars across the map so anything that hits the tagged target gets AP-1 till the end of turn.It's a big brain army
>>96683887base size is the same, as long as it's easy enough for them to tell what each unit actually is I don't see an issue (which it should be).
>>96683880Looks really cool. The EC praetors fit for custodes.
>>96683887being forced to play against custodes isn't going to make anyone happy
>>96683866There's a couple fundamental different types of control. One is area denial where you play armies with massive threat ranges and don't commit to the board, but position yourself in such a way that it is on the opponent to not leave themselves exposed in a way you can fold in and punish them. Typically you pair this with indirect and long range fire to pepper them from afar and force them to make a decision or get slowly whittled down. The other kind is reactive moves, blood surge moves, rapid ingress, and uppy downy redeploys which let you spring traps on your opponent if they cannot screen properly or allow you to break their screens.In both cases, you win the game not so much by winning on primary score in no man's land as much as denying the opponent from ever scoring theirs while you outplay them on secondaries.Lots of armies are actually capable of these kinds of things like CSM and both styles of Eldar..
>oddI paint>evenI take a nap
>>96683971wouldn't it be so nice to get some rest.
>>96683795They steal suns regularly to power the technology that keeps Commoragh from collapsing into unreality. It happens in Rogue Trader.https://youtu.be/edH9vcSNUQI
>>96683823what do you mean by society calms down? The problems with society are not at my LGS kek
>anons literally asking for advice on how to make the game worse and unfun for other people
>>96683979>The problems with society are not at my LGS kekWhat do you mean? You are there!
>>96683984You will never stop us! There are dozens of us! Dozens!
>>96683975>Multiple Dyson Spheres as power sources Does that make them a Type-2 civilization? Or are they pushing a 3?
>>96683823feels good to live in a remote shithole in eastern europe and not experience most of the bullshit
>>96683851I can't wait for the Bone Inferno!
>>96683993>eastern europegrim
>>96683880https://youtu.be/-UVpx45_w3E?t=12
>>96683993>feels good to live... in eastern europeHmmmm...
>>96683795They stole a planet full of Tyranids right under Saim-Hann host's nose. You should read codexes instead of blslop
>>96684003Would've said the same thing a couple years ago but when I see the shit that's going on in the west I'm good here, thanks
>>96683993Yep, but youtube secondaries still will come to tell you about gays in your faction
>>96683658I miss the electric guitars.
>>96684010Dark Eldar are always a hoot because they're an insanely powerful and capable faction with no ambitions at all besides being a letty dick to everybody to get a rise out of them to nourish their perverse souls' sick sense of humor.
>>96683656they were really banking on a snowball effect starting with those 6 PTs>>96683659just use half, duh>>96683687they have like $50m in warehoused goods iirc>>96683886wraith DE upgrade sprue????>>96683992they live in a pocket dimension, that's K-IV
>>96683975The canon of that is iffy, in Path of the Eldar the ability to steal suns is explitictly lost, they just hav eht tech to control the size and gravity of the pair of captures susn that light Commoragh.>>96683992Nah they're just a type 2 since its only a few suns. Not that Kardashev scale is an accurate or or the most interesting way to measure a civlisation>>96684010That from the lastest codex? got a page number or a scan?
>>96684040no you are getting it
>>96684052GWs editing team combed through the entirety of RTs script multiple times. While it takes place in the FFGverse nothing in it should be beyond whats reasonable to the GW canon team.
>>96684052Which is more canon: a book that hasn't been republished in a decade written by a guy who left the company or a modern videogame who's lore was explicitly approved by the current company lore directors?
>>96684060fair enough ill take it, dark eldar stealing suns and dooming all life in the star system to death if they don't have FTL to go somewhere else suits them.
>>96684048Castigator Wraithguard has been something the community has been bringing up for decades now because of that one book and it's never, ever going to happen.
New. Got 2 of these bad boys and an unopened Leviathan box.Am I an Iron Hands player until I get more kits?
>>96684075Dunno why not it would suit the dark eldar, but it seems like they are only used to torture dark eldar. The many soulstones used to power them all act like bloodstones, so simply being around them would probably kill anything with a soul
>>96684079You are a whatever you paint them as player.
>>96684052Its from 8th ed deldar codex and 7th ed Haemonculi supplement. Supplement is a kino thing for them
>>96684083I meant rules wise.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96683784>>96683795>>96683809It should also be said that most Pre-Fall Eldar tech isn't going to be useful for Dark Eldar, as they've gimped their psychic potential and Pre-Fall tech is heavily psychic. The superweapon in Valedor needed an entire Seer Council to activate it, thus it was mostly useless to the Dark Eldar.
>>96684087Iron Hands dont have dedicated rules unless you want to use models with the Iron Hands tag, of which there is one Iron Father Feirros. So you can use any vanilla Space Marine detachment (which are completely chapter agnostic). If you want to use any other non codex chapter specific units you just have to realize they are mutually exclusive with other chapter specific units Codex or otherwise. Nothing in that box can't be used in any other flavor of space marine army.If you bring no chapter specific units, you get an improved version of Oath of Moment.
>>96684075"[thing] but edgy" is an asburdly vomit inducing idea every single time.
>>96684118Are you aware that you are in the Warhammer 40k general?
>>96684118>this fucking sucks actually>contrarian>coolest thing everuh huh.
>>96684114Neat. Thank you. Got all the boxes as a bundle super duper cheap.Figured the multiple dreadnoughts would pigeon hole me to 1 specific flavor.
Reposting the September collage for those who missed it.
>>96684130>>96684141give me a single reason why edgy wraithguards would be better than some other DE exclusive concept
Reminder chaos LoV are explicity canon, not just Vashtorr corrupting some ironkyn but individual and small groups of kyn do fall to chaos
>>96684159NTA but castigators would be a DE exclusive concept. They're the only ones with the knowledge and desire to torture the souls of craftworlders and then use that to weaponise them
>>96684159It wouldn't, but they need a new big pain engine or construct centerpiece for covens and GW are lazy as fuck with coming up with new designs. Maybe a mega grotesque would be better
>>96684160Anon, that's a Squat, not a Kin
>>96684169>Maybe a mega grotesque would be betterAnd his name is Jaghatai Khan Unless you mean the big flying guy in pic related
>>96684160That's a chaos Squat, which is canon, Leagues of Votaint ain't.
>>96684178The Big Flying Thing is just a Talos or Chronos
>>96684178The big flying guy is just a normal Cronos
>>96684185Are they really meant to be that big compared to humans? woah I though they only a little larger not that massive
>>96684160I am not really opposed to the concept (unlike anon above being upset about Castigators) but also I am angry about Daemons so I am on the fence.Thing but Edgy only really works when its a neutral/good faction being edgified tho. Chaos Necrons/Nids just dont work thematically and are always kinda lame looking and Chaos DEldar are just idiotic, for example
>>96684142One of the cool things 10th did was make detachments not linked to subfactions, so you aren't linked to painting your guys one color to get good rules or whatever.
>>96684183So there are Chuats but no Chotann?
>>96684164>castigators would be a DE exclusive conceptit's literally just an evil wraithguard, it's as exclusive as a rhino
>>96684193>Chaos DEldar are just idiotic, for exampleBut they are canon
>>96684198There's no votann, chaos or not. There is squats, chaos or not.
>>96684215>There's no votann, chaos or not.Their codex literally says there are kyn that fell to chaos though
>>96684191They're pretty close to that size by comparison on the battlefield. That art might show them a little bigger than normal for artistic license purposes. But the transports up there are like triple scale too.
>>96684223Don't care. I say that any type of votann don't exist at all, therefore they don't.
>>96684196>tfw there was a whole story why my donut steel chapter looks like "[founding chapter], but red" on the table Worrying about nothing I guess.
>>96684205Not really, I believe there was a singular Slaaneshi Mandrake (which is schewpid) in some novel and thats it. Croneworlders are just Chaos Eldar, unless you attribute them being Chaos DEldar on the basis of DEldar themselves being closer to pre-Fall Eldar.Anyways I was talking more from the standpoint of taking extant DEldar cabal and making it Chaos, which is kind of just stupid, they're already plenty edgy and horrible.So yes, taking Evil thing and making it become corrupted by another Evil thing is something that I look down upon, reminds me of World of Warcraft and its gorillion overlapping types of corruption.
GW are a bunch of fucking buffoons. More than half this book is just the box for the Lieutenant Titus mini.
>>96684228Well I say they do, so they do :)
>>96684156all of these models are great but there really needs to be a standard to which collage models are photographed
>>96684237>taking extant DEldar cabal and making it ChaosYou're right anon I misread your post, yeah chaos dark eldar is pretty dumb I agree
>>96684227vehicles are like 1/3 scale about in 40k. Rhinos are much bigger, marines can stand shoulder to shoulder walking down the access ramp.
>>96684238Lmao, imagine being such a retard you buy this shit.
>>96684238Show us the kitty.
>>96684238LMAO WHAT THE FUCK ahahhaha.
>>96684251Yeah, I think we all know they're much bigger than the model scale would imply. But so many of them are already huge an unwieldy enough to transport and play with as it is.
>>96684238it's for children dude
>>966837265th was good up to the wardexes. The 6th and 7th went down as the worst editions of 40k ever.
>>96683975Those suns were being stolen not for Commorragh but rather as a special project to feed a caged C'tan shard in a joint project between a Haemonculous and radical inquisitor Ingame Commorragh is stated to be lit by three stolen suns and by appearances they appear to be somewhat shitty red dwarfs so I don't think they're stealing suns too often these days
>>96684248I keep trying to tell people to take the photos with more light but they never seem to do it.
>>96684239You're an ever-wrong faggot, so it doesn't matter what you say.
>>96684079paint them whatever color you want and play them as any faction you want, regardless of paint scheme. just use characters as counts-as proxies.have fun!
>>96684239Nice proxies anon, what are they meant to represent?
>>96684238ohnonono look at this dood!
>>96683764>besides soulstones too I supposeThey don't use these as far as I know
>>96684239Cool dudes, my only nitpick would be that a different skin/hair tone would look better with the orange armor
>>96684284>Ingame Commorragh is stated to be lit by three stolen suns and by appearances they appear to be somewhat shitty red dwarfs so I don't think they're stealing suns too often these daysTwo black suns not three, like we seen in the second Dune movie during the arena scene. They are big powerful suns that using arcane technology the dark eldar are able to control to reduce the radiation they emit to a sliver of what they would normal produce.
>>96684301>Two black suns not threeYeah probably, I was just going from memory of Marazhai boasting >reduce the radiation they emit to a sliver of what they would normal produce.Neat
>>96683880
>>96684294I thought they could make grenades out of seer soul stones and had other fucked up uses for them.
>>96684069Yep and you get to visit one of the now frozen planets and pick up a few survivors
Mandrakes are silly>they emerge from the literal shadows like boogeymenThis is scientifically implausible
>>96684301>the dark eldar are able to control to reduce the radiation they emit to a sliver of what they would normal produce.
>>96684303Commorragh is 40k Carcosa, which is also a weird dimensionalcity with very tall and impossible monolith towers with two black suns
>>96684331Nice pic
>>96684325Yeah, they're magical shit, not scientific shitMandrakes can also throw magical shit at you and automatically hurt someone you care about regardless of whether they're at the other end of the galaxy
>>96684328They do weaponize this sometimes I think. I remember they had a mechanic in older editions to force the sun to darken to prolong Nightfighting.
>>96684287Yeah, lol, I was stressing over nothing -> >>96684236
>>96684325Dark eldar are based on the pre-tolkien idea of elves, mandrakes are this idea of elves, but to the dark eldar race, so extra spooky and dangerous elves
>>96684236I'd take donut steel chapters over people playing bog standard smurfs as at least they have a bit of creativity to them.
>>96684344They have fluff where their raids in real space start at midday by first turning the sun off, suddenly plunging the target world in night to cause panic and confusion. Imagine the sun goes out like a light bulb that blew and suddenly every part of your base, ship or battle station is under attack and there are things moving in the shadows, and thing crawling out of your shadow
>>96684350Dark Eldar are like the old Wild Hunt style Fae kidnapping humans and taking them back to their weird faerie realm for a thousand years to suit their strange whimsies. Mandrakes take that a step further and are the shadowy unseelie to even the denizens of Commoragh with Aelendrach being a fantasy realm of unimaginable horrors to even them.
>>96684366Yep exactly you explained it way better than me
Craftworld Eldar are basically Vulcans, right
>>96684387Not really. Eldar still engage with their emotions, they just restrain themselves from going overboard.
>>96684238As is every other book about a toyline that comes with an "exclusive" toy.Have you never seen any of the 'character encyclopedia' books Lego put out?
>>96684359>at least they have a bit of creativity to them.don't give me too much credit :^)
>>96684387Yes. Star Trek and 40K take turns ripping each other off.
>>96684366would the dark eldar randomly swap out a human child for a changeling that kills everyone?
>>96683648The battleforce has a lot of stuff I don't have, but simultaneously I don't have because I didn't care about wyches. Probably not gonna spend 250+tip or whatever ebay scalpers are asking.
>>96683875Fenrisian wolves are actually aliens, liek the Caliban lion.
>>96684499yes
>>96683648More or less like this anon >>96683677 Ihave enough of Projects to finish. I am Closer than further to 2k Lizardmen/Serapon army, DOK army. and from 40 i have a small elite tyranid force in the making. With some marinesWould I want to make a Admech mixed with Imperial Knight/ Imperial Guard army? Fuck Yes. But I know I have too big of a backlog and projects to finish.
>>96683875>>96684513fenrisian wolves aren't thunder wolvesfenrisian wolves are human colonists that turned into wolvesthunder wolves are space wolves that turned into wolves
>move from behind wall>snipe opponent's techmarine that is buffing his dread>use shoot'n'scoot ability to run back behind wall again and out of sight.Ratlings are a menace.
>>96683668Just like with Leman Russ Battle Tanks only having 120mm thickness in armour plate, say it's a 'space dog' instead of space metal and it's fine.
>>96683689Today is sunday, the weekend is over.
>>96684499There's more recent lore about Vect having his Haeminculi turn some unfortunates who disappointed him into humans through augmentation and then sending them as insurgents into Imperial worlds to stoke hatred against the Ynnari No word on doing it to babies yet though
>>96683648Is there anything interesting in the new dark eldar codex?
>>96684553To get some tail
>>96684553latent psychic energy from white women
>>96684387Yes and no. Craftworlder Paths are like you say to yourself, "I am a Poet so I will only feel Poet things" and then you live your live feeling only emotions that a Poet would feel. Eventually you become so used to these emotions that the path of the Poet is no longer of interest to you and you drift onto a new Path with the next set of emotions that begin to flow through you. One by one, the Asuryani study the carefully fragmented emotions of their hearts, mastering them bit by bit. Once they have attained true mastery of their hearts by walking enough Paths (a length of time and a number of Paths which can vary significantly from one Eldar to the next), they are ready to set foot on the Path of the Seer and start unlocking their forbidden psychic gifts. Essentially the Paths system is a training course that prepares Craftworlders to face the Warp. This is a very necessary measure because as Valedor shows, Slaanesh is watching them every time they use their psychic gifts, as if he is only a few steps away from them at any moment through the Warp. They basically only need to make one singular mistake, which is often the result of emotional distress they can't repress properly, to get their souls taken.
>>96684553colonists got gene engineered with something that would make them better adapted at life on that cold planet, except lycanthropy is a side effect sometimes.
>>96684527>fenrisian wolves are human colonists that turned into wolvesspace wolf lore becomes more and more cringe.
>>96684571you either embrace the cringe or choose a different faction
>>96684366And we will never get the mandrake lords/the king of mandrakes with his four arms or those other monsters who live there because GW hates DE.
>>96684575Neopagan cringe space wolves are better and less cringe than the furry ones.
>>96684582yeah, but they're still cringe
>>96684576Decapitator/Kheradruahk had rules once at least, even if he never got a model. Maybe he'll be an addition to the range again at some point.
Imperium uses lot of ceramite for equipment and building. But what is it really?Is it synthetic and made or is a natural resource that is mined?
>>96683713The Dark Eldar who actually devote their lives to combat are some of the greatest “mortal” warriors in the galaxy, succubi hunt Tyranid hive tyrants and one Klaivex initiation ritual is killing 4 fully armed space marines in the nude with one arm tied behind their back.
>>96684284Isnt there lore that the suns in commoragh burn out quickly so they always need more? Like they last centuries not billions of years.
>>96684613The two main suns in Commoragh, the Ilmaea, have been there since before the fall. They will last longer than the Webway will.
>>96684586Still less cringe.
>>96684610I really should have joined the military 8 years ago. All those dead enemies I could have killed. Instead I'm here, with my bloodlust and inability to die.
>>96684613That's really stupid.Why would the suns burn out faster? The physics are still the same.40k lore is stupid.
>>96684610>eldar wankCringe
>coomer is spamming fat fetish tranny porn again
yeah I'm thinking its spooky kitbash time
>>96684610>astartes dyingjust proves that the GOLDEN GODS are superior, since there's been no recorded proof of a custodes dying to a dark eldar
>>96684575Can I just have grey Ultramarines with pelts?
>>96684651No, that's a different faction
>>96684593it's a synthetic ceramic material made out of a variety of rare elements and minerals. It's not as strong as Adamantine but Adamantine has to be mined, and it's extremely limited in quantity compared to reinforced ceramite which is much easier to produce.
>>96684649Drazhar killed 3 Custodes sent to kill him in the blink of an eye.
>>96684649There's an entire book about it and multiple codex entries.
>>96684655Neat.Also wondered about Adamantine as well, always wondered if it's an alloy or if it was some an ore that needs to be mined and refined.
>>96684660Drazhar's a phoenix lord, doesn't count
>>96684331It's 40k Cynosure
>>96684649>no dark eldar casualty >custodes casualty
>>96684682Dark Eldar always try to recover their bodies so they can be resurrected from beyond the grave.
>>96684682those are trophies, one custodian just lost his helmettheres no proof he died
>>96684668And these?
>>96684649Custodes being a playable faction seems like a mistake anyways. Their lore doesn't really make much sense post rogue trader/2e because if you have these super soldiers that are better than Space Marines then why make Space Marines?
>>96684695>apparent no proofs
>>96684687You can see the skull inside.Custodes have bones unlike marines.
>>96684682Why does this dude have bones sticking out of his power armor?Marines don't have bones.
>>96684664Adamantine and ceramite both have different 'grades' of quality, yes. However, Adamantine is so rare that it's usually only found and worked by the greatest artificers of the Adeptus Terra, so the resulting superalloy after they're done forging and treating the ore is pretty much always the absolute top quality one can find. They don't waste Adamantine ore on unskilled craftsmen. Of course, the techpriests who know the secrets of forging Adamantine alloy are also rare as fuck, but that goes without saying, like with plasma weapons and so on. Ceramite you do actually see the different grades of in action - carapace armor, like what the Scions wear, is ceramite. But power armor is built out of 'reinforced' ceramite composites, and it's a very very big difference in durability, fundamentally the difference between a 3+ and 4+ save. Artificer armor is made of even more advanced and rare variants of ceramite, the very finest that the Imperium can produce, allowing a 2+ save. Then there's Terminator armor, which is even more advanced ceramite (the secrets of forging it are lost).
>>96684701someone put it on after they found it
>>96684698So you think the Custodes went willing with the Covens to get butchered before the false throne?
>>96684713no they just went for a walk and the ordo xenos were a bit paranoid
>>96684716tbf, the Haemonculi and the Custodes are probably the only two factions in the galaxy that would genuinely understand each other
Dark eldar power levels are wackthe Mandrake Champion got pretty close to 1v1ing a Primarch and he's a jobber compared to some of the other dark eldar
>>96684695This just mentions abduction, nothing about killing. And nothing confirms that the blood and viscera is from custodes, it could just be from the Dark Eldar themselves.And the custodes not being found just being the case of them chasing the DEldar to kill them or they already killed them and they have gone back to the Imperial Palace. Custodes are a secretive bunch, they have no reason to tell any inquisitors about if their members have returned or not, they don't answer to inquisitors only to the Emperor.
Are logar and Erebus the most charismatic characters in 40k?
>>96684702he got boned
>>96684729nowhy are you like this?
>>96684729dunno, ask /hhg/
>>96684727Read the novel that sidebar is based on. The Custodes and Inquisitor all got ambushed by a huge energy blast of some sort and are either dead or captured prisoners of the Coven now. The Custodians on Terra also don't know where their Custodes brethren investigating this incident went.
So I'm picking up that the reason GW is killing DEldar is that they made them too powerful in the fluff
>>96683668This boy has little difficulty killing a Space Marine.
>>96684735>Read the novelBL isn't canon. It's just tie-in fiction and pulp.
>>96684703>Adamantine is so rare thatThey put it into tank armour, use it for various support struts and even make those giant ship prows out of it to smash into other ships at speed.>even more advanced ceramiteTerminator armour uses plasteel and ceramite, same as Leman Russes. And the suits are based on utility exo-suits used by all manner of civilians. I don't think the physical shell of the suit is that complex, it's probably all the various components to make it a weapon that make it harder to replicate. Same way you can have people with full body plasteel or ceramite plate armour, but adding all the power armour bits is what makes it more difficult to replicate.
>>96684746Don't tell GW that.
>>96684547no, its the dark eldar codex
>>96684547In Crusade if you do to well Vect kills your character
>>96684703>Then there's Terminator armor, which is even more advanced ceramite (the secrets of forging it are lost).Terminator armors aren't lost technology.The mechanicus can still manufacture completely new suits of terminator armor it just takes a long time and lot of resources to do so.Also it's more likely that marine chapters make "new" terminator suits themselves but it's mostly just them salvaging and then combining pieces from multiple different suits to create a "new one", since getting mechanicus to send you new terminator suits is not easy, especially if you're some random chapter who practically nobody has ever heard of before.
>>96684729In 30k maybe, they have a thread for that on this board I'm pretty sure.
>>96684750>They put it into tank armour, use it for various support struts and even make those giant ship prows out of it to smash into other ships at speed.Adamantine is not put into Leman Russes you absolute dumbass.>Terminator armour uses plasteel and ceramite,Plasteel isn't a wundermaterial that can block all incoming damage. It's just a more advanced alloy of steel. Ceramite is the special material that makes Terminator armor virtually impenetrable. The issue is that the Imperium cannot easily replicate it at such high quality. At its most extreme level, ceramite can be made actually on par with Adamantine, such as the Emperor's final defensive barrier in the Golden Throne that is made of overlapping layers of ceramite and adamantine and is called truly indestructible. >And the suits are based on utility exo-suits used by all manner of civilians. No... no, anon, the original Terminator suits are based on long lost exosuit patterns used by Dark Age of Technology colonists. Modern exosuits used by the Imperium for mining and plasma reactor work are nowhere near as advanced as the patterns that were used as inspiration for Terminator armor. >I don't think the physical shell of the suit is that complex, it's probably all the various components to make it a weapon that make it harder to replicate.Yes that is correct, it's primarily the materials science (how to create ceramite composites of such high quality) that is virtually lost. Although Cawl, being Cawl, has already started production of new Terminator suits. >but adding all the power armour bits is what makes it more difficult to replicate.uh, no, not really. The Imperium simply doesn't remember how to forge ceramite of such incredibly high grade.
>>96684744Okay but he literally doesn't look like the dog in that picture. Also I do think he would have SOME trouble killing a marine. Also it's mechanical bite is damage 1 and a marine has 2 wounds.
>>96684746>BL isn't canonNustodes are a BL invention
>>96684781>Terminator armors aren't lost technology.There are more lost patterns of Terminator armor than there are surviving ones. The current one used by the Imperium is nearly impossible to replicate (until Cawl plothax restarted full scale production of it lmao)
>>96684798>The current one used by the Imperium is nearly impossible to replicateIndomitus pattern isn't lost technology.
My best attempt at a power sword so far.
Surely someone has the Lore from the new Dark Eldar codex by now right? Any new developments? or retcons?
5 painting sessions later I've managed to finish basecoating 5 blightlord terminators.
>>96684801Yes, because Cawl plothax restarted full scale production of it.
>>96684802Looks like delicious candy
>>96684513Yes, that's my point.The comic obviously isn't suppose to be set on Holy Terra, but on some random Imperial World. Given that planets like Fenris have animals that look very similar to Terran wolves and are called wolves, then it's possible that the dog in the comic is not a Terran dog, but some other alien creature that looks enough like a dog that humans just call it such. And given that it's an alien, it may be able to take on and easily kill a gaunt.>>96684527>fenrisian wolves aren't thunder wolvesNot all Fenrisian wolves are thunder wolves, but all thunder wolves are Fenrisian wolves.Fenrisian wolves are wolves from the planet Fenris. Thunder wolves are a large breed of Fenris wolf. Like how a timber wolf is still a Terran wolf, while also being a timber wolf, but not all Terran wolves are timber wolves.>fenrisian wolves are human colonists that turned into wolves>thunder wolves are space wolves that turned into wolvesYeah, bullshit. That's nothing more then a case of retarded fans not understanding that not everything that a characters says is a hard fact. Like when Han Solo said the Millennium Falcon did the Kessel run in less then 12 parsecs. He was lying to try and impress Ben and Luke so that they'd hire and pay him. But fans took it to mean that the Falcon really did travel a certain distance, in less then that distance, despite the fact that there's literally nothing in any of the films that shows the Falcon as being incredibly fast.>There are no wolves on FenrisIs not some deep revelation about the genetic ancestry of Fenrisian wolves. It's a warning about underestimating or misunderstanding the Space Wolves. They are not just some retarded savage barbarians, running about the aimlessly. They're the Emperors executioners.
>>96684840CRAWLING IN MY SKINTHESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
>>96684804You wouldn't believe the lore developments, malys has led a coup against vect!
Why did they make so many armies that they had no interest in supporting years after they were made?Grey Knights, Deathwatch, and Harlequins basically got nothing after they were made into an army
>>96684877No! Not Abstrubael!
>>96684877Aelindrach is confirmed as portal to the shadow realm of aos!
>>96684877could you imagine if they gave Vect the yarrick treatment when he hasn't even been in the game in years
>>96683668What would a regular dog's bite be? S2? Just needs a good roll
>>96684879If they sold more models they would have gotten more support. I wouldn't worry about it though, GW's business model requires that they keep coming out with new sculpts.
Posting my newest game again from last night, 2k points Necron vs Ultras. Was both our best games and was neck and neck. We are paused at the end of round 3. I have around 18 VP and he has 25. Its about to get nasty in round 4!

>>96684804>>96684547 New codex has confirmed that they’re emotion vampires, also they use outcast Squats and Kroot as mercenaries“There is only one way for the Drukhari to replace this lost essence. They must bask time and again in the most extreme emotions. Unbearable agony, boundless sorrow, naked terror; all these are rich fodder for the Drukhari and help them repay their soul debt ~ however temporarily. Without a steady diet of such heightened emotion, these denizens of the Dark City steadily waste away.”https://youtu.be/xhkH2v7rv60?t=349 (Timestamp 5:49)
>>96684895Where’s the threshold for that because they still made codecies for GK and DW even if DW is online
>>96684915fun fact: "Ultramar" and "Ultramarines" are also the same in spanish and do not need translation.Ultramar means "beyond the sea", fyi. It was already used during the Spanish Empire era to refer to overseas colonies
>>96684915>Los Ángeles Sangrientos son una de las Legiones de Marines Espaciales originales más veneradas, pero también son portadores de una terrible maldición causada por la muerte de su amado Paparca, Sangruinius
