Fuck Primarines
>>96695798They will return... Sooner than we expect...
>>96695790>What's an under explored aesthetic in 40k that you would like to see more of in a new faction or expanding on an existing one?Chaos Xenos
Which one are you getting? You are getting at least one, right?
>>96695798>Fuck Primarineskinda gay desu
Let Chaos idols take this thread!
>>96695790>TQIf we do see a dark mech expansion, we will see an expansion of the gastropodaian design they have in the negavoly cultists and the spider tank mechs from titanicus as both have eyes on stalks. I wonder how else that design could be expanded for a bigger range. Maybe a sea animal like design
Is this what firewarriors see when fighting the IG?
>>96695816are the prices out? might get CSM
>>96695837
>>96695839270$, most are around 350$ value.
>>96695816If the savings are worth it probably the farsight box, but I've already got plenty of riptides from playing back in 6th so I might pass.
>>96695816Why are there 8 different warhammer ones?>MORE kriegshitHoly fuck they really want the reddit audience don't thhey?
>>96695862They should make Riptides have 2 datasheets so we can play 6 Riptides. Knights are allowed, why aren't we?
>>96695816I chose this one, but my LGS refuses to let me have it until this weekend
Am I the only one who hates how AM/IG are split into subfactions? Look at how shit the LVO meta list looks, cadians, krieg, catachan, all souped into one. Pretty shit. All three of those should be cosmetic differences only.
>>96695816Also I 'get' that they did the Fulgrim one because they did ones for the other 3 but that's a pretty sad ass looking battleforce.>6 blades and 6 noise marinesWould it have killed them to throw in a kakophonist and remove one of the blades models just to make it a little worth?
It's kinda stupid all of the original loyalist space marine chapters are still around. You'd expect one of them to be wiped out after 10k years.
>>96695872Didn't include it since it was sold out and already released. It's a good choice, anon.
>>96695816I might get the troll one. The space marine box is actually tempting for once but I dunno if I care enough to ask my LGS to hold it for me.
>1 month AgoI only owned 10 rubric marines>NowI own all the non-tzaangor non-character thousand sons models.
>>96695877If you look at it closely all of those Battleforces are complete ass. Worst ones yet.
I'm not very good at painting, so I want to try slapchop. Is there a way to paint slapchop and simultaneously make it grimdark (and not cartoony)?
>>96695884Get the parts of thousand sons that are cool.
>>96695855means about 230 on ebay. idk, i'll have to think about it.pr00nting is starting to make more sense now
>>96695829>negavoly cultists and the spider tank mechs from titanicus as both have eyes on stalkthe spider robot and the vox machinator also have the le spider ribit aesthetic.
I'm incredibly delighted the slop manifesto migrated to warhammer so fast. It also applies well
>>96695884>ownhit us up when they're actually painted
>>96695890You will not convert me to your cult, mutant.
>>96695816If i was going to get one it would've been the slaven box, but ive got most of the shit thats in it. Did fuckin tau get one 2 years in a row?
>>96695816The space marine box looks tempting
>>96695872It's funny because I already have all the kabalite stuff but not the haemonculi (CP) or wyche stuff (battlfeforce) but I don't feel like spending 200 bucks on more drukhary right now. A shame that all the cheap secondhand wyche models are getting scalped now. Goodbye, half-assembled venoms for 20 dollars on ebay.
>le screaming woman with short hair>le bald black woman>bottom left literally looks like the MC of the new Naughty Dogs gameI mean if you tell me these are women space marine, I would believe you.
>>96695896>slop manifesto migrated to warhammer so fastWhat?
>>96695884I feel like there's been more tsons here lately for some reason
>>96695899Why don't you post your paints, huh tough guy?
>>96695893What's funny is I applied for a sales job trying to get people to buy 3d printers, because they said they'd give me one for free as a benefit. But they haven't called me back. I hate sales jobs, but I found one I might actually like- and they don't hire me! What a world.Same with these DoD Wargaming jobs I keep seeing. I'm like "hey, I can do warhammer, hire me" and then I don't get hired. Ain't that some shit?>>96695876>cadiansModern military>attilianNotot a real thing>krigWaves of men>catachanStealthEasy.>>96695887It's the >muh price hikes because of inflationLogic. Fewer units than ever. Gotta hit those KPIs.
>>96695915I keep posting about how I'm building my own warpflame thrallband out of spite for ebay scalpers preventing me from getting one back in may and they just pour out of the woodwork to try and sell me on Tzaangors and Tzaangor accessories.
>>96695912It's funny how games workshop sucks so bad at female faces that people now identify these men with women, just because these are normal female faces for GW.
I bless this thread with a bunch of poxies

>>96695816Tyranids and Soulblight baby. I was already hoping to snag a vhordrai.
>>96695816Personal thoughts>ECPredictable, but zero interest since I've already got a World Eaters army>Marines/TerminatorsYawnsville. >CSMProbably the only box I'm actually gonna buy. I want to build an Iron Warriors warband and this is the perfect thing to add on top of the 9th Ed. Combat Patrol with the Legionaries/Havocs/Helbrute. Disco Lord is cool as fuck and definitely gonna be the Warlord of my list.>VotannIt looks ok if that's what you're into for Votann stuff but I'm not a fan of the Beserks. Would rather have had a Hernkyn themed box.>FarsightAnother box I like but I'm probably gonna pass on solely because I don't want to buy into yet another army when I already got like 5 on my plate.>KriegAs a Kriegfag I like this box, I really do. But I'm probably gonna pass on it for now since I already own two Artillery Teams and I don't think I'll ever need a 4th. Maybe if it gets below $200, but I know that shit's never happening.>TyranidsI prefer Zergrush nids over Kaiju nids, but if you like the models in the box more power to you>ShitmarDon't care
For the collage does it have to be a gw mini? I was going to use a 3rd party model
>>96695914A Magic The Gathering Tournament winning player wrote pic related about the popularity of the Commander format in mtg
>playing the rogue trader crpg>the rogue trader and her army of murder hobos kill a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers legion in 2 turnsYou think the emperor isn't real? How else can you explain that?
>>96695884Time to collect the fun to paint part of the army.
>>96695945Excuse the spam. My phone could only have 6 pictures per collage
>>96695976>>96695896As someone who plays both MTG and Warhammer 40k it absolutely does not. That person was talking about how the focus on Commander has destroyed the competitive balance for 60 card formats. Warhammer 40k has moved to focusing on tournament play and less on casual. It's moving in the opposite direction. In 40k the most you can say is that the fluff is moving in a direction oldhammer bros don't like, but that isn't what the pig/slop post was about. It was never even about Universes Beyond
>>96695884>I own all the non-tzaangor non-character thousand sons models.so like 3 kits?

>>96695945Last one
>>96695991I’m rather looking forward to painting my tzaangor. They seem fun.
>>96695912>FUCK! The fans are completely rejecting Femstodes. What do we do with all the work we did designing the new heads?>Let's throw them in a space marine upgrade sprue mixed in with a bunch of other heads. Surely our fans will be too autistic to notice.We noticed.
I think it's hilarious how GW is returning Space Marines to their old bling covered aesthetic instead of the taticool shit. All they had to do is give us larger models instead of the Primaris crap
>>96695991what a waste of money
What is it about csm that makes it tempting? It’s bare bones as fuck and the other csm boxes were more temping than this. >>96695999
Femstodes would be fine with me if they just made it so that they are all extremely beautiful. Space Marines are ugly because the process that is used to create them is torturous and messes up the body. Custodes are custom made and each one should be an idealized version of the human form
>>96696016>usstill waiting on your models btw
>>96696012Jokes aside these are just male heads
>>96696012>add a few mkvii and beaks in it to be sure to sell itYou missed this one.
>>96696004They really are, whenever I was getting exhausted painting my rubrics I would just paint a tzaangor or two because of how fun they are to paint with all the opportunities to use different colours.
>>96695928>It's the>>muh price hikes because of inflation>Logic. Fewer units than ever. Gotta hit those KPIs.Yeah I know it's just that all those boxes look very anemic even of they have decent savings.
>>96696021because it so happens to be the units that i planned for my starter and 2k down to character and extra dumbfuck legionaires to throw into meatgrinder
>>96695790The new battleforces are tempting me to get into either Tau or Tyranids, which is more worth it?
>>96696037Unironically I wouldn't be so sure. Some of them are incredibly suspicious.
>>96696057Its just the heavy metal painting style, seeing the spures and painting them yourself and no one would think they're suspicious
>>96696053The Tau one starts a suit armyThe Nid one I guess starts a weird monster mash army? You will get a shit ton of gribbly bits though
>>96696021It's a few generic units that are actually useful to expand or start an army. Same with krieg, everything in the box is already probably in the army so it's just more.Tau, votann, and tyranids are crap because it's a bunch of specialist junk that doesn't necessarily fit together so you might want one or two of those units but probably not even half the box is interesting enough, so you might as well just get the guys separetely.EC is crap if you don't want Fulgrim and great if you do.
Eldar r CUTE
>>96696019Why?
>>96696073built for instant loss
>>96696073Nah uh xenos are ugly and evil for the righteous and morally correct Imperium to genocide
>>96696002Cool zombie dudes
>>96696057You're such a fucking retard lmao
>>96696078More like instant love>>96696079Guilliman is going to ally with the Eldar specifically because they're the only pretty xenos.

>>96696103goddamn itmeant to quote >>96696094
>>96696053Tau one is complete ass. No idea about Tyranids.
>>96696085Wrong thread Mike
>>96696084>t. anon in fun denial and cope
>>96696119Mike Brooks is a nice guy. Gave me a handjob in the bathroom during a signing event.
>>96696116It's not bad if you're starting fresh. Nids are worse because even of you're starting fresh you probably won't want all of those.But both reek of stock clearence.
>>96696125Yea, he really is a good chap. Was nice enough to fuck my wife for me while I was painting my new terminators box.
I think the main issue with the CSM Battle Force box is that Rhinos and Legionnaries are cheap on ebay, and sometimes the Venom+Obliterators pop up for $65 as well.
>>96696129Last year Tau had a similar Battleforce. People said it was shit and asked for Crisis Suits to be added. So they added them but put Farsight to fuck everyone over. Yeah if you're new it's probably fine but it's not very good. That single Broadside is also a fuck you.
Its my birthday today 40kg, I shall now use my powerful birthday blessing powers to give you all a boost to your building, painting, kitbashing and general hobbying activities for the next week.Enjoy, and show me your models when you're done with them.
>>96696138Also it's just basic bitch Legionaries without the Night Lord sprue or the KT Legionaries sprue.The monopose Venomcrawler and ugly ass Oblits and an ancient rhino suck ass even more.
>>96696139I'm unironically more interested in all the drones than the suits.Next battleforce: 30 tactical drones and a crisis commander (but displayed as a coldstar commander)
>>96696144I have guests over and had to clear my hobby space for them :(
>>96695816>tfw i already have 12 noise marines and just want fulgrim and the flawless blades
>only 4 kits >people will say this is acceptable for a christmas box Whats that script people are saying in mtg threads? I am a pig and I eat the slop?
>>96696166It should've been Fulgrim, Lucius and all in on Flawless Blades.
god i hate elves
>>96696119>MikeThe Imperial/Eldar Alliance is from a Guy Haley book.
>>96695878Some have been, they get reconstituted.
>>96696144Happy birthday anon have some mega armor dudes
495 points at most out of the tau battleforce
>>96696144Thanks. Not done, but I put in some time on my librariaplain.
>>96696185>cant even get a legal loadout from the crisis suits
>>96696121>>>/v/
>>96696193You need 5 boxes total to get loadouts for everyone.
>>96696144Happy birthday anon. Gonna finish this fella on the right this week
>>96696196>t. seething lamentranny
>>96695816how quickly do these sell out?are they actual christmas boxes or should i be looking to shell out money to pre-order them soon?
>>96696144Happy birthmas.
>>96696144Happy birthday anon, currently just sorting out what battle suits I still own and need to clean up so I can plan for what I need to build for full squads.
>>96696210genuinely rent free
>>96695816the chaos space marines is really tempting but i'm likely to pass on it honestly. i'm not a huge fan of the obliterators, the daemon engines are cool though but aren't a must for me right nowprobably just gonna get the combat forces for marines for my chaos dudes and kitbash them with legionary bits
>>96696190>>96696144Happy birthday as well. Forgot to say it.
>>96696207I love left guy's stubby little PFistIt's cute
>>96696221Looks like it was a bull's eye.
>>96696219This model just evokes despair. Its so submissive.
>>96696231Nope, I'm yet another modelchad you /v/ermin seethe about ;)
I haven't played since 8th, is 10th worth playing at all, and more specifically at 1k points? That's probably about what I have in Death Guard models and I have little motivation to add more to the army. What I currently have painted up is:>daemon prince>lord of contagion>lord in terminator armor>tallyman>foul blightspawn>x2 foetid bloat drone (1 spewer, 1 lawnmower)>x5 blightlords>x15 plague marines>x20 poxwalkers>x10 cultistsAlso I heard loadouts basically don't matter even more because datasheets got even more simplified, is that true?
>>96696216Depends. Many stores still have some boxes of last year's Battleforce release. This year they all look fucking ass. I assume the Space Marine one will sell out though.
Mike Brooks is great, he convinced me to finaly sell out my Eldar Combat Patrol box, along with 2 additional walkers.
>>96696233Yeah, I think chibi me back in 4th was trying to make it look like he was about to lift off and fly.
>>96696249>though
>>96696237post models
>>96696179>>96696190>>96696207>>96696218>>96696219Thanks everyone. Models are looking sweet, hope you have fun with them.
ghost painboy or ghost snikrot (old model) for the october collage?
>>96696260Even though you're stupid I will still accept you though.
>>96696263I've posted my black legion plenty for youhow about you post models for once ;)
>>96696276>ghost snikrotthat would be very cool, but you could also make a serial killer painboy too.
>>96696278You never posted any models because you don't have any.
>>96696260By far my least favorite ritualposter
>>96695972>Predictable, but zero interest since I've already got a World Eaters army770- EC845- TS535- DG895- WEI need more death guard.
>>96696021only online stuff finally at a discount mostly
Do I start an EC army a CSM army or SM army?
>>96695994Yes
>>96696144Thanks anon. My photography situation is fucking awful, but I have set up a nice new work desk and I'm looking to get the lads finished.The sword effect for my counts-as-Farsight needs a ton of work, but I'm betaing it out.
>>96696138>and sometimes the Venom+Obliterators pop up for $65 as well.GW is planning on Dark Mech for 11th edition, this box will be a good starter when Venom+blits+VOX are moved over to that army.
>>96696303I think the csm stuff is gross, I generally hate the execution and direction demon engines have gone so far, so I say pass on that. EC is just fucking boring, and space marines sure if you like dreadnoughts.
>>96696303The Flawless blade kit comes with like 10 extra power swords and are fun to makeThe SM one is just kind of blandChaos one is actually a good foundation
>>96696166I got 6 noiseboyz because I'm dumb and thought buying them alone would be good, so that I could get the Kak and the Combat Patrol and have a suitable force. But the kak has been overpriced for months.
>>96696286he's a sharty tourist ignore it
>>96696306nice lil kitbashes, are you planing on painting the rest of you're army black and teal or is that just going to be for your stealth suits?
>>96696062>>96696116>>96696129So the Tau one is better for somebody with no Tau or Tyranid models?
>>96696144Happy birthday anon. Have some skelly marines.Gonna make good use of your powers making a character for them. Currently deciding between a captain and an ancient.
>>96696312I've seen people use this same argument to buy CSM stuff for Emperors children and then they threw a fucking fit when they realized they couldn't use basic shit like predators or defilers and what not. That is not the mind set one should have with how gw handles its shit now, but whales will eat the slop anyways.
>>96696303EC is good if you want a lord of war like gulrim. CSM one will go good with Vash'torrs inevitable army in 11th edution.
>>96696320They're going to have more of the yellow khaki since they have more cloth and the crisis suits will have more colorful livery; though their base armor color will be the same.
has anyone tried to make any wh40k videos using the new SORA ai? i'd be curious to see how well it would do
>>96696329>abomidble intelligenceno
>>96696260The reason I know this image is from 2019 is that it mentions avengers films like anyone still watches or cares about those.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96696328Neat, i'll look forward to seeing the finished models.
>>96696285don't project
>>96696323Ancient just sounds fitting for a bunch of skellies no?
>>96696339It's from 2023, shitposters just haven't updated their scripts since the pandemic so random references to '10's culture still pop up though.
>>96696340That'll happen after the word bearers kill team.
>>96696347I want to freehand the banner, so an ancient is gonna be a much more difficult project compared to a captain. That's why I'm hesitating.
>>96695816>40KOnly the Votann Box.My don't really play any of my other armies and I could use everything in it. >AoSI don't play, but on the off chance of winning a box, I guess either the trolls or the skaven? These fantasy boxes don't seem very good to be honest.
>>96696322Only if you want to go all in on suits. Tau right now are split into 3 archetypes: All Mecha Suits, Kroot Horde, Shadowsun and Tanks. I personally think the Tau Battleforce is ass for everyone. The Tyranid one looks like a beter choice also since Tyranids got a huge refresh recently. Also like it was stated Crisis Suits don't have a legal loadout anymore so you need to buy around 5 boxes no matter what if you want a suit army. The kit is also over 10 years old. Same with the Riptide and Broadsides. I'd go for the newer Tyranids.
>>96696345imagine how much time you would have saved sperging out if you just posted a model when you called yourself a modelchad.
>>96696345nta but I would be embarrassed to post this shitthat's not even battle ready, not even decalslopper tier, lmao
>>96696354To be fair as well, I feel like 'jaks kind of fell out of style after 2019 as well.
>>96696369It's one of my oldest models, I don't post my current shit when shitting on /v/ermin so they can't latch onto me like they do with the lamenterfag/O&Tfag/sallyfaglet's see your models btw :)
>>96696367The only one sperging out is the seething /v/ermin thoughbeit
>>96696377>It's one of my oldest modelsuh huh, sure, lol
>>96696384Yeah I just bought a set of models that have been OOP for years and painted them up to a mid-2000s standard and let them get caked in dust you caught meStill waiting on those models btw
>>96696380>The only one sperging out is the seething /v/ermin thoughbeitBe kinder to yourself.
>>96695816>>96696359>votann box gets second wave stuff like the mortar>EC box does not have a kakophonist>tau are gay>tryranids are.... monsters I guess>space marines are painfully generic, would it kill them to shove some Victrix Guard in their Ultramarines box?>chaos isn't really anything special, does show how few 'robot chaos' units there are>KRIEG really? Fuckin nothing else, like maybe idk anything at all really?
>>96696395Which one of us has posted models and which is lashing out at everybody telling him to go back where he belongs his schizo scapegoat?
>>96696380>The only one sperging out is the seething /v/ermin thoughbeitlol, lmao even
>>96696360>The Tyranid one looks like a beter choice also since Tyranids got a huge refresh recentlyI guess that's fair, do you think it would pair well with the leviathan box if any of those are still floating around at a reasonable price or are there other kits I should look into?>Crisis Suits don't have a legal loadout anymore so you need to buy around 5 boxes no matter what if you want a suit armyWhat??? How does that even happen?
>>96696403>everybodybro, you're one personare you unironically schizophrenic?
>>96696404Still waiting on those models btw>>96696409>you're one person>calls ME the schizodo you have zero self-awareness
>>96695816>want nids>but already have a neurotyrant and screamer killer>tempted by tau>but have no need for farsightI suppose I could sell the models I don't need. Then again my backlog is big enough as it is so I'll probably get neither.
My Commander farsight is lookin fucked up
>>96696407Yeah it's gonna pair great as you can get various sprues from Leviathan for cheap. As for Tau it's an old kit and it was always a problem. Hell it was even worse before they grouped suits in 3 categories. The Commander suffers from the same problem as the suits. Also Tau Suits kinda require magnetization unless you buy shitloads of them as they all have different weapon options so you're gonna be slapping 4-6 magnets on a single model.
>>96696421Just fyi no one will want Farsight, the Neurotyrant or a Screamer Killer unless you wait 2-3 years.
>>96695816Nah, gonna get Warhammer Quest. Had it not been announced though, krieg or termies
>>96696422That's because you painted him white and gold instead of red sillyI'm actually planning on converting farsight to look kinda like that
>>96696435Well that makes the decision to buy nothing and plod along clearing my backlog even easier then.
>>96696340Why does every thread have some retard trying to make people discuss eldar now?
>>96696469>now>>>/v/
>>96696467With GW you only buy a Combat Patrol or Battleforce if you want EVERYTHING in it.Also they will probably be announcing End of Edition Narrative Boxed Sets (100% they will do those) and after that 11th Edition Starter so you should keep that in mind as well.There will also probably be some surprise Primarch or some shit revealed and released in a box set.
the tau box is pretty fucking lame because any tau player who'd be interested in it already has farsight which takes a good chunk of the value out of the box
So should I get the tyranid box or just buy the models individually? Ive always wanted a maleceptor/haruspex/tervigon and was waiting for a few to come back around in stock. This box is a pretty slam dunk opportunity but I already have the neurotyrant and screamer from leviathan.Should I just go for it and eat the duplicate or just buy the 3 monsters separately?
>>96696509go on ebay and see if you can find it really cheap after a week or two.
>>96696509You can get the box and keep the duplicates. Only named characters like Farsight or Lucius cuck the value of the box because you can only field 1 of those.
>Leagues of Votann added into the setting as out of no where as can be >While people may not like how they look as NASApunk and nordic runes people are fine with the justification they're in the galatic core and were just refound by the imperium at large>Lots of people like this new angle, and the concept of the Votann looking for more RAM and being insane god-like AIsHow would (you) have changed them anons?
>>96696526at the end of the day they were just going to be dwarves in space marine armor. So theres no fixing them really. Maybe incorporate more digitech or something idk.
RETVRN

>>96696085>>96696078>built for instant loss>More like instant loveWhy not both? Instant loss 2koma are the best anyway.
>>96696485That's good advice but nowadays I mostly buy older, oop kits so I'll likely ignore any future releases. Still I'll keep it in mind just in case.
>>96696545>are fine with the justification they're in the galatic core and were just refound by the imperium at largeThe fuck are you talking about retard, the Squats were always in the galactic core, that's why no one cares- that's literally how the lore was before GW just lold and killed them off for no reason.
Man I thought aos had more of them but 40k really has so many side games.
>>96696559yeah but then they all got eaten by nids, and then they're all back in the some place, that sthe justification "we were wrong that they all died"
>>96696559
>>96696559>and killed them off for no reason.they never actually did this though, GW just stopped mentioning them.
>>96696564Because if the nids could penetrate to the core and eat an entire race they'd already be unstoppable. It is the one lore blip in 40k which makes actual negative sense, even in a setting where they play fast and loose with the numbers, the nids arne't supposed to be in the galaxy yet in the numbers needed to wipe out entire empires. It would imply the tau are one bad day from being totally eradicated.
NYAAH. Gonna try and join the collage this month. Is grim reaper spooky enough? How are everyone's entries coming along?
>>96696526I would have preferred xenos over abhuman, but I'm not bothered if others prefer abhuman. They're sufficiently dwarfy. I mostly hope they continue to get attention and grow in relevance instead of withering on the vine.
>>96696585Spooky dooky indeed. I think it'll fit great anon.>How are everyone's entries coming along?Mine will just be a painting idea. I hope the thing I have in mind fits the "Spooky" idea.
>>96696547>Eldar wife starts getting haughty and bratty>Correct her with forced ear rubs
>>96696583>It would imply the tau are one bad day from being totally eradicated.Isn't that part of their appeal, the small but growing, up and comers that by concidence and chance are sheilded from the horrors of the galaxy that would wipe them all out
army for this feel?
Can someone help me find a pic? Someone posted an image here a while back of a dark eldar venom converted to fit a whole squad of Incubi in it that looked almost exactly like this art. Did anybody save the pic or know where it's from?

>"there are some people talking really stupid shit about 40k lore">that's fine, it's just every other sci-fi put together, yourdudes can be literally whatever, look at rogue trader, look at the commissar regiment, look at the chapter in imperial guard colours that advises guard regiments, look at the original character do not steal chapters like the dragon bone one or the official legion of the damned, we've got elves, we've got rambo, we've got alien, we've got dune, we've got lovecraft, we've got 2000ad's wizard guy and judge dredd, we've got anime, we've got (modern dangerhair, not old deviant) cyberpunk, we've got clockpunk wild wild west cowboys, we've got noir crime novels...>"they're saying servitors can be given geneseed to help replenish depleted chapters"Why is the internet, in the grim darkness of the 21st century, so bad at getting the setting right?I genuinely think GW is too strict with their lore until I hear the actually retarded headcanon of people online
Whats going on this year? Dont the battleforces feel like they kinda... suck? Like they're emptier than usual for the same price?
How do you play Tyranids good? What should I avoid/go for?
>>96696636goku loves fighting but doesn't enjoy violence if that makes sense
>>96696720>"they're saying servitors can be given geneseed to help replenish depleted chapters"Who is saying this so I many point and laught at them. They might be getting confused as geneseed is grown inside servitors until its removed to be put in a space marine candiate, so servitors do get geneseed, but they are the food source and energy to grow the geneseed

>>96695979>try to place the nice guy iconoclast route that doesn't worship the emperor or fall to chaos >not exterminatusing the world in chapter 1 causes it to become a daemon world in chapter 5>the cute eldar waifu companion you get betrays you to the dark eldar for basically no reason and you get tortured then says sorry lol I see now
>>96696723they made a lot of battleforces this year ontop of a few army boxes and the wave of extra combat patrolsthey even made more christmas boxes than last yearwe had a few good ones, some almost so obviously good that if you already had these armies collected to any significance that you pretty much have everything they offer already so they end up not being great for a veteran like the 1ksons boxand then you have the othersits always been a meme that they just use these boxes to move unsold stock but some of them are just that, i'm looking at you chaos knights i think the christmas battleforce box for SM is actually pretty good, but think about this. in the last month or two they got all those combat patrols, the terminator box, and now thisthis isn't to say they're spoiled, but that they're exhausted.
>>96696609>can tell with certainty if you're english, scottish or irish (not even measuring welsh)>cannot tell slavs apart to the point where hungarians might as well be czechs and poles>belarusian, pole and ukrainian are all the same... but distinct from russian>>96696715Africans aren't black>>96696703If someone influential made a big enough deal about it, GW would have to pull the minis, especially since gene stealers replace your genetics rather than mix with them and are about destroying your civilisation, and the planet's existence, for the sake of another bestial one
>>96696768Why do they have tomb guardians?They look like action figures
>>96696771>If someone influential made a big enough deal about it, GW would have to pull the minisNo they wouldn't and no one would have a reason to care about them and then get offended by them
>>96696777the brilliant minds at GW needed to give them something for 10th edition since there was nothing left in AoS to transfer so thats the best they could think of
>>96696784Do you think something smaller might have been better?To make the marines with their big thousand son helmets look taller?
>>96696771You're taking this a little too seriously autistfriend
>>96696797No thousand sons players only want marines
>>96696799You're seriouspaints are frustrating me, I wish sculpts were a little less detailed
>>96696797if anything they should be bigger
>>96696810Speak for yourself, I'd love it if we got some more mutants or tzaangors.
>>96696743They gutted EC so much because they didn't want people to complain when they get a second wave and would have to squat the CSM part. That's the only reason.
>>96696797What if there was some kind of dust golem? Like, they got the magic dust to hold together outside the armour in some way. Don't know what role it would do, but the concept might be fun
>>96696369>decalI'm better than you at every single facet of life you worthless sack of decrepit scum.
>>96696829>What if there was some kind of dust golem?Not nice to call that Jews living in Israel.
>none of my LGS' increased pricesWhat the hell, why not?
>>96696827>second waveLOLtsons second wave any day now bro
>>96696839I'm an Australian, we have a dust card for living down here, I can say it
>>96696839By it's very definition dust golem would American troops in the middle east
>>96696848tsons and dg already have a perfect army, they can get 1 model per edition, we and ec need a second wave and that's probably what's going to happen
>>96696850>Never forget 2009
>>96696762Hehehe looks like a dickhead. Great kitbash anon I love it.
>>96696859>tsons and dg already have a perfect armybased retard
>>96696829But thats the normal TS astartes, warp dust inside a suit of armour.
>>96696868yes you're not getting anything else besides 1 model per edition
>>96696870Yeah but wot if no armour, just a magic dusty boy
>>96696872Yeah no shit none of the cult legions are getting anything beyond 1-2 pity units per edition, but tsons are far from a rounded out army, even DG is stretching it
>>96696873So warp dust just flowing through the air? Wouldn't need to be a golem, its got no mass to be a big smasher thing anything, but as like a Warp cancer causing wind to choke out and blind anyone no wearing a helmet with a filter could be cool. TS attacking with massive blinding dust storms that make air support impossible would fit them
>>96696873Just use ghosts as chaos spawn
>>96696771its the percentage of genes shared with populations from those areas. so of the % from the british isles, they are that much english, scottish, and irish.
>>96696766>Want an intelligent if aloof character who properly portrays either the Warrior or Seer cultures of the Eldar and how they might interact with a Rogue Trader, even if that involves manipulation>Instead get a literally retarded Ranger who barely knows her own culture, doesn't act intelligent at all, and is so annoyingly autistic that her own people wanted her dead before you offered to take her off their handsYrliet was a mistake.
>>96696884That concept works as a dust cloud, but I was thinking maybe Ahriman figures out since wizard shit to crystallize it into a body or something (only in rare cases so it didn't replace rubrics). I think the dust thing is interesting but you never actually see it, they just look like normal marines. There's potential to get imaginative with it, I feel.
>>96696768>Pic relatedI got that box and I was really praying that there would be a Ksons box to go with it on christmas. I was really hoping to see a magnus or a LoC or even a Mutalith but nope, nothing. Sadness.
>>96695979What else can you do with the pen & paper RPG?It's not as low down as dark heresy where you're one crit explosion away from killing a daemon prince in the GM's prologue
>>96696893>Eldar>intelligentPick one xenofag.
>>966959795 well prepared mortals can easily kill a marine
>>96696905They already did the magnus box years back, no point doing it againThe combat patrol should have had mutalith though instead of a daemon prince
>>96696766>Trying my hardest to put up with her bullshit because I like having an elf perspective on events>"Yrilet please apologise to my companions for getting them all horribly tortured">"No, fuck them :)"Reloaded a save and shot her in the head myself
>>96696920>They already did the magnus box years back, no point doing it againI know but I missed out :( 2022 had the best battleforces by far. Council of the Deathlord, that ksons one, the knights etc.
>>96696920>>96696933Honestly instead of magnus they should have made one with a Kairos instead.But even so, the new drycha box being almost the exact same one as the 2022 one proves that theyre not against rereleasing the same general boxes.
>>96696941drycha got featured because she kinda had a narrative event going for her.
>>96696393>>96696414He never had models to post
>>96696951Yes that much was very clear from the start, it's just fun to put them in their place
I started magnetizing my Wraithguard, it is not as difficult and fiddly as I expected it to be, and GW plastic seems to hold up well even when it's a hair-thin. 1mm is a perfect fit and they hold on nice & strong. Yes, I glued in a magnet the wrong way around and had to prepare a different pair of arms because it would not come out. Yes, I pulled glued-down magnets out more than once while double checking the polarity of one I was prepping for because the glue was not fully cured. Yes, I now realize even slightly changing the flat-angle of the joints compromises the pose of the arms and I'll keep that in mind for the rest. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment telling me to go fuck myself.
>>96696902>was thinking maybe Ahriman figures out, since wizard shit, to crystallize it into a body or something >Tzeentch is closely tied to crystals as a materialAnon I furiously agree with you, this is a big untapped angle to TS design. Like being made from crystal like the crystalians from Elden Ring. Crystal monsters who ar powered by the warp dust 'souls' of the dead Thousand Sons marines would fit perfectly. However painting crystal for a TT for little plastic men would be really hard unless GW just sells their kit as clear plastic that you don't paint. Works in concept and in non TT situations though
>>96695790First for the 4 armed god
>>96696699Give the hell lions to me.
>rereading my rules>notice that retaliation cadre ability only affects battle suits>have been building the core of my army around breachers in fishesWell that's annoying, I'll probably still run them in that detachment, but what other detachment works well for breachers? Mont'ka seems like the obvious choice.
>>96696703
>>96696784>>96696777TS have robots in 30k but they didn't want to do 30k thing->40kized since they FEAR people will use kitbashes from 30k instead of buying new ones for 40k, because apparently they thing someone who plays 30k thousand sons (RED) are bout to get a thousand sons (blue) 40K army and they can force them to buy the same army twice, nevermind how retarded that is since rubrics and 30k TS legionaries are different and they literally have two ahrimans in both settings.
>>96696963Yeah the concept could use some iteration for ease of sculpting and painting, but there's definitely something interesting to be done with a transmuted dust marine as a starting point
>>96696905>or even a Mutalith but nopeThey don't seem to include the cross-army units except tzaangors. Like I was thinking the Goremonger Slaughterpack box should have been a Lord of Skulls, Slaughterbrute, one unit of Eightbound and one unit of Berzerkers- which would have been only 9 more dollars in total value than the actual box- and would have fit in the 'theme' with the other two armies of basic troops, elites, HQ choice and vehicle. But GW chose to fuck up the WEs.
Newfag from awhile back.Been working on this Tau broadside for the past weekend. Got a can of primer first before painting, and I’m trying to figure out how to thin my paints before applying.My method was getting my brush wet, getting some paint on it, dipping it back in water and then wiping excess off on a paper towel.Gonna clean up the white spots and try using contrasts and some panel-lining later.Got a pack of Pathfinders for later when I wrap this one up.Would I be okay priming the pieces before I pop them out and build, or would it be better if I build, prime, and then paint?Start my new job tomorrow, so progress will probably slow down a lot.
>>96696972Really enjoy the more realistic flesh colors on nids/gsc. Makes the body horror aspect stand out more.
>>96696720>Why is the internet, in the grim darkness of the 21st century, so bad at getting the setting right?Because most humans are so dumb they can't even read the wiki when it is spoonfed to them.
>>96696873>>96696870>>96696829My idea for a refreshed rubrics would include a guy being summoned back to life with all his dust pulling the armour pieces back together.
>>96696884What they really need is just to have fallen sorcerors who turn into super fucked up spawn when the 'gifts' they get go wrong, then have a big fucking big guy with one hulk arm and one extra head screaming where his other arm should be and that's it, that's the special thousand sons super spawn. And he gets magic too because the wizard sometimes has moments of clarity where he shoots magic.
>>96697017So a spawn version of Vilitch the Curseling
>>96697000I'd advise using a separate cheap brush for getting paint out of the pot onto a palette and thinning it with water. The process gets a lot of paint lodged deep in the bristles and wears out a good painting brush unnecessarily.I shake the pot, dip the preparing brush, roll it off onto the palette, give the brush a quick rinse and water dip, then mix with the watery brush. You get a thinned mix on the palette and an unclogged painting brush.Eyedroppers will make it even easier but I haven't bothered with those yet.
>>96696946funnily enough, the ksons also have a narrative thing going on no?
>>96697038The grand narrative event? I dont really think thats on par with the scourge of ghyran, but I unno. Even then Magnus isnt really as vocalized in this event when him and ahriman are budding up with another csm sorcerer. but who knows, maybe we can expect something else for thousand sons in the end of edition campaign, it was odd that they didnt get a new hero at all.
>>96695021You will never convince me this wasn't HIGHLY ORCHESTRATED.
>>96697074I dont get it.

>>96697320>5 hours later he's still thinking how he got BTFO'dGive it a rest, shitstirrer. Close the lights. Accept your loss and pack it in.
My army at a local event. The terrain isn't great but I play a mix of competitive and casual games, which I prefer.
>>96697328>y-you got BTFO'dreally? Did you happen to prove he owned no models? That that timestamp was somehow faked? Did you ever post yours?
>>96697326Because Imperium is fascist and Tau are communist.
>>96697326Why do reddit users come here to ask us questions about reddit?
Eldar players, do you source Warlocks from any third party sellers or do you kitbash?The two warlocks box being $60 for two static poses is grim.
>>96697329I'm a primary Warhammer 40,000 fan, which is to say my main way of interacting with the hobby is collecting Games Workshop products. This is why they acknowledged my Blood Ravens Malcador Grey Knights theory with this nod. I have developed severe mental issues from decades of malignant outside forces manipulating my life in ways I wasn't able to meaningfully interface with.
>>96697339We didn't need to see your selfie
>>96697329>>96697347I'm glad you're having fun playing with your army men with your pals in healthy sociable ways tho.
anyone here started on their October spooky mini for the collage yet?
>>96697353holy pounds of makeup
>>96697355my models are arriving early tomorrow so I can start then
>>96697324>>96697295Imagine posting some slop from your bits box and expecting someone to respond with their actual models so you can orbit them every time they post
>>96697360I'm not sure this medium was intended to foster the kind of parasociality you're implying would occur with that type of interaction. Thank you for acknowledging my model, I accept your concession.
>>96697001Yea, I painted the caparace on the aberrants and honestly I'm not too keen on it.I'm starting this army and I don't know what else to add to them... I hate the ridge runner and the jackals... Should it be wise to lean more on a final days army,?
>>96697324I don't play NPC factionsAnd I definitely don't paint them in unreadable chunky paintschemes
>>96697347>This is why they acknowledged my Blood Ravens Malcador Grey Knights theory with this nod.explain I don't get it. What that TS guy has red and white armour like the blood ravens
>>96697355Its a start at least. Feel like ive fucked up though, I was going to paint the weapons really rusty but that means ill have to do the green again so they have a bit of osl
>>96697360Hey that's what >>96696345 did!Would you look at that.
>>96697357It's cosplay what do you expect. If you spend the time making an involved costume or spending the money for a commissioned set of armour, why would you half ass your makeup
>>96697372>claims not to play NPC factions>posts SPESS MUHREEN with OBVIOUS Y-chromosome haplogroups J2, R1b, and R1a and H, U, and T prevalent mtDNA haplogroupsWell posted friend, lovely model. Now this is what I call 4channing!
>>96697365I wasnt arguing with you at any point, I just replied to make fun of you
>>96697382Thorpe is full of shit here
>>96697382delete this
>>96697355Going to prime it in a batch with another squad when the basing glue has dried. Will try for speed with this one, as I need to practice getting faster anyway, and I don't want to set my wraiths aside for a third month.
>>96697388>Thorpe is full of shitI fixed it for you.
>>96697380God you're so assblastedspend some of that energy buying and painting models instead of crying about somebody who actually participates in this hobby you pathetic little /v/ermin
>>96697386I was also only pretending to be retarded, haha, yeah...
>>96697382>seething xenosfag trying to call the protagonists NPCsLMAO
I've completely lost track of what you guys are yelling at each other about. Do you guys even remember?
>>96697403Fuck off, Mindy.
>>96697403it always comes back to destinyfags
>>96697372God I fucking hate the legs of the primaries, they either go fucking Buzz light year or the god damn cargo pants. Fucking pathetic.The new deathwatch primaries don't look half bad... Or the lieutenant with nid pieces but.... God
>>96697380Yeah that's why you don't respond when it goes back and forth with both parties refusing to post models and then pussyfooting around. If someone tells you to post models without posting their own with timestamps, then they are a faggot. If you tell someone to post models without posting your own with timestamps, then you are a faggot. If both of you are going back and forth telling each other to post models without posting your own with timestamps, then both of you are faggots and should get suck each other's dicks elseswhere
>>96697411Read who he's replying to, he's bitchmade and crying about getting beaten by an actual modelpost with timestamp
>>96697329Are you one of the two faggots throwing a fit rn. Kino if not, I like your vashtorr you have on the fridge
>>96697410>I hate primaris legs because they're not retarded twigs like my squattypotty marines
>>96697417>getting beatenThis site must be your whole life, huh?
>>96697430>This site must be your whole life, huh?>so desperate for attention he shitposts for hours in a general about a hobby he's never participated indon't project
Amazed by how actual dogshit these threads have been
>>96697434Wait a couple weeks for the reveal hype to die off and the /v/ermin numbers will die back down
>>96697434watching these retarded slapfights is somewhat entertaining but yeah it's been fucking awful lmao
>>96697434Yesterday there was a decent conversation going on that actually completely ignored bucketloads of bait being flung all over the thread for hours.
>>96697434>>96697453>>96697454WELL WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT THE FEMALE PSYCHO WARRIOR HEADS I SO GENEROUSLY POINTED OUT
>>96697433You brought it up 5 hours later, shitstirrer.You must have one sad life, huh?
>>96697454Start it up againYou can choose the topics you talk about
>>96697434It really is incredible how this general is consistently the worst thread on the board because of faggots like these
>>96697462Kill yourselfgenuinelyYou have no prospects in life if this is what you're spending your evening doing
Good morning let's all be nice to each other
so for the 8b kit, you always have to make a champ and two regular joes? I can't make 3 regular joes? also this kit is fucking ass for making it impossible to actually identify the champion
>>96697474It's ten minutes until knockoff here, I'm just about done phoneposting on company time for the day.
>>96697476N-N-NOOOOOOOO HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME
>>96697484I think you're one of only a handful of people here who've actually bought eightbound so you're probably out of luck
>>96697484>this kit is fucking assFixed it for you. Hope you're giving them alternative heads at least.
>>96697462>WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT THE FEMALE PSYCHO WARRIOR HEADSWhat? What are you on about?
>>96697496don't give the genuine schizophrenic anymore attention
>>96697484You some kind of sissy that doesn't want to spend hours cutting, repinning, and sculpting BIG VASCULAR DEMON arms on your Chaos kit?
>>96697404Who
>>96697467(you) tried
>>96697502Why are you talking about it like it's something you do
>new Eldar book>Eldar job (they are also gay and black)>new Night Lords book>Night Lords job (they also all die besides the MC)So is that a mandatory thing?
>>96697498>>96697496I may or may not be genuinely schizophrenic but the timing of the Flashgitz Space King property dropping a Female Psycho Warrior episode at the same time Games Workshop releases a targeted bear head upgrade sprue featuring a bevy of options that fall into the "female with a five o'clock shadow" styling of Heavy Metal paint job that has plagued their Sisters of Battle is wildly tongue in cheek and reeks of marketing.This and all proceeding posts have been in no way an advertisement or any association with Flashgitz Space King media property.
>>96697434All the marine combat patrols followed shortly by the ultras reveals haven't given this place a break in a while. Usually it's pretty bad for about 2-3 weeks after a marine reveal, maybe a month for big ones. When the termies got showed off for leviathan it was like a month straight of "primaris terminator" shitposting before the thread started to cool off
>>96697502I wish Daemons looked more like this or at least some of them did
>>96697344Battlemage box is roughly the same price for 4 bodies in robes if you've got some stuff for staff heads and head swaps
>>96697540Daemons are due for an update.
>>96697531It's not like female space marines have been a subject of immense shitflinging for years or anything.
>>96697542Looking at how horribly mundane the eightbound that were just mentioned in thread are I doubt they will get more freakish than they are now
>>96697531Funny thing is that not only people here see it. Maybe there really is something to it.
>>96697531The timing of what
>>96697559Eightbound just straight up look bad. If they were mutated like Accursed Cultists or Possessed no one would have a problem. They just look bad. Flawless Blades are a slight upgrade but then GW fucked the heads like always.
>>96697560The top left on looks a bit like Fatrick
>>96697560Go back
>>96697574Flawless blades look worse what are you smoking Yes, even the slightly less offensive head options look worse
>>96697574>Eightbound just straight up look bad. If they were mutated like Accursed Cultists or Possessed no one would have a problem.I'm not entirely sure why you're telling me this since I'm not disagreeing with that take
>>96697560Coeri777 and JediBen are good dudes. >>96697394>>96697388>>96697389Gentle reminder the original Eldar were LITERALLY a rip off of the Zentradi from Robotech. Let's all have fun playing Warhammer!!!!!
>>96697580Flawless Blades (besides the heads) look normal. Eightbound are a Space Marine go-kart tier abomination.
>>96697584Delusional
>>96697560A sign of autsim is face blindness. Sure you could aruge the way they are painted makes them look like roided out androgynous people but they are not female space marine heads
>>96697583Nice Nemesis terminator helmets
>>96697585Yes you are.
>>96697560Those just look like angry dudes.Also>people both on here and reddit are retardedWhat else is new?
>>96697585Flawless Blades do look normal, too normal maybe but it's still an upgrade over Eightbound.
>>96697585>>96697589Now kiss each others nubs
>>96697582Maybe it's a bot that saw the word Eightbound and spat out a standard response to the word
>>96697593No it.isnt, these manage to be even worse
>>96697593They actually look like elite, massive and old CSM. Eightbound could be cool extra roided out gladiator style World eater berserkers, but the fluff for them ruins that. Remove the fluff of being possessed by 8 daemons or a whole bloodthrister and people would accept them. 'These guys are just gladiator WE's mimicing Angron and his time as a slave gladiator'
>>96697574>flawless blades are an upgrade because they're more mutated>>96697593>flawless blades are an upgrade because they look more normalI don't understand
>>96697593>>96697574>arguing over which pile of shit is smellierdoes it seriously matter at all it's all shit at the end of the day
>>96695993since focus on tournaments causes shitty soulless rules, which can be described as slop, it applies very well.
>>96697531>but the timingWhat fucking timing? You do realize that GW makes models/kits like years in advance, right?
>>96697604Less mutated but if they went all out it would also be good. The weird in between of Eightbound is bad.
>>96697583>Gentle reminder the original Eldar were LITERALLY a rip off of the Zentradi from Robotech.Don't know don't care.>Let's all have fun playing Warhammer!!!!!No. Xenofags needs to learn their place or leave.
>>96697613There's a reason that post was made using someone else's models and is about flash cartoons. Ignore the tourists
>>96697616I don't understand why the designers didn't take the chance to make them freakish horrifying mutants with something like eight axe wielding arms or flesh chainsaw arms or wings made of blades or fucking anything. Did they ever give their reasoning for making them so lame?
>>96697600They went for pic related and succeeded but those cone heads are still stupid.
>>96696193you can by just saying they are all equipped with weapon x. doubt the average 40k player could differ between a ion blaster and fusion gun.
>>96697587The glossy lipstick on the painting doesn't help on a fair few headsSome of the sculpts should have been rejected>becoming androgynous is just how steroids work!We've never had this problem before, sculptors shouldn't struggle to portray something when they're using 3D tools
>>96697560Some of the new faces are straight up wrong. Pic rel is also one that should never have gone through in its current state.
>>96697632If you told me pic related is a female space marine I would believe you.
>>96697583>Gentle reminder the original Eldar were LITERALLY a rip off of the Zentradi from Robotech. Let's all have fun playing Warhammer!!!!!>posts warhammer fantasy elves with design elements straight out of nemesis
>>96697636I didn't even think they'd have assembled previews on the pagewtfdoes GW know what their workers are doing?
>>96697634
>last dawn of fire novel>Guilliman loses most of his indomitus crusade fighting The Silent King>horrific numbers of Astartes die>we have no choice Lord Guilliman>we need to open the Adepta Astarte Chamber>do it Cawl, Emperor have mercy on us
>>96697636Why does he (?) wear lipstick?
>>96697401there are no bigger NPCs than space marine player though. maybe custodes player are a bit worse.
>>96697660Cute cope xenostroonGo back to daydreaming about painting the box art scheme for the army you'll never own
>>96697666Your guilliman still looks like ass.
>>96697526NL get fucked too?
>>96697636>If you told me pic related is a female space marine I would believe you.I wouldn't because I'm not retarded.
>>96697666nice NPC-post lol
>>96697674I don't buy Smurf modelsKeep coping xenostroon
I think it's pretty funny that the new Terminator Calgar doesn't come with a helmet and that the helmet is sold separately in an upgrade sprue.
>>96697676Yes, due to the same reasons as always.
>>96697688Wow you get all those heads AND a special character upgrade all in one pack? Based GW.
>>96697685You're very angry.
>>96697695>U-umadTry harder
None of the new marine heads are female marine heads.If GW wanted to make female marines they would just look like how female stormcast are.
>>96697703he is right though
>>96697677It's a sign of autism to not be able to read expressionsIt's a sign of an actual brain disease to not be able to recognise headsStay safe anon
>>96697695Why do the xenos put giant coats on their children yet force them to walk around in underwear so small even the munitorum would call it rationing?
>>96697420No sir, I'm just here for the shitposting and sperging. Appreciate the compliment.
>>96697730My entire family has the 'tisms and I wasn't spared myself.And even then I can tell all of those heads are just male heads.
>>96697763It really is current year if corporate artists and anonymous are gender blind
living on a tau world as a human sounds like relative paradise.
>>96697796Careful, you'll trigger the imperiumfags with that one.
>>96697805But isn't the whole point of the imperium that it's a complete and utter shithole, it's not exactly hard to be a paradise compared to that
Working on anything?
>>96697796>>96697836In what way? Aren't they the same living conditions but with more hovercars (no you can't drive one filthy gue'vesa), and the imperium itself isn't one planetYou'd not be able to shake the human gene for xenophobia either
>>96697841Yeah, AoS
>>96696742Hungols are White Scars
>>96697842yeah, but I doubt the tau randomly kidnap and enslave thousands of humans from the lower quarters just because they need workers to work themselves to death in the barrels of their ships.
>>96697842>You'd not be able to shake the human gene for xenophobia eitherThere's a very large chunk of the population that is outright Xenophilic in this very day in age what are you even talking about
>>96697651I appreciate your contribution to the topic and would huddle near you for feeble reassurance when James finally pulls the ripchord on 40k END TIMES Lost Legions II Femstartes Boogaloo.
>>96695979You are HQ tier before even becoming a Rogue Trader. Almost all of your companions are of similar tier
>>96696915Then why are marines so important if they can be killed by that small of an amount of people while also only being 1k per chapter
>>96697841Why does she have a black eye?
>>96697917fell down the stairs
>>96697917Princeps to a titan
>>96697856>it's not slavery if it's for the gooder great>these mass sterilisations aren't random, they're planned
>>96697946>these mass sterilisations aren't random, they're plannedWasn't that a Dawn of War dubiously canon thing and a fan extrapolation at that
>>96697857Which sector?I thought old night left an impossible to overcome distrust of the xeno and the mutant
>>96697636Just looks like matsumoto San from gaki no tsukai
>>96697674Rent free lmao
>>96697841i'm getting the urge to paint another knight
>>96697992just don't submit us to the torture of looking at that garbage with another awful 3d printed head
>>96697954Dawn of WarDeathwatch (which has a lot of video game influences at least in the quotes, I think Holt is in there too, I don't remember if Dark Heresy 1e had anything like that)And apparently the 2023 book, Altar of Maws>dubiously canonLike the rest of 40K? The T'au lack so much concrete information that all we have to go on are their models (like any faction I guess?), which means they only have two auxiliary species rather than the 6 or so mentioned and don't recruit humans.I'm not a Fantasy grog so I don't know if it was always obvious the Bretonnians were Elf proxies but even the part about the T'au being an Eldar proxy seems as concrete as the Emperor's guards being mortal men, er I mean super space marine men, er I mean super space marine men and women.
>>96697996i'm not the slopper knights scratch a painting itch that other large models don't
>>96697996Seconding
>>96698007In that case please paint another knight
>>96697967Use an image editor to remove her lipstick and check if it's more this or that
>>96698005>Like the rest of 40K40k vidya has basically always been non canon aside from a couple things here and there that make their way in to the main setting, it's on a different level than most 40k media in that regard especially since they're all third party products
>>96698013Right, so, what do we have that talks about life in the T'au Empire that's not secondary material?
>>96698007oh my bad
>>96698021Their Codices for one, those are always 100% canon and campaign books since those are canon unless they get retconned (see: storm of chaos)
>>96697954It's an explicitly non canon ending to dark crusade
>>96698028Well I never bought one and it seems no-one else here has either
>>96698021Elemental council novel
>>96698038If you're too lazy to look for a pdf of them then it's your own problem
>>96698007Looks good but there's something off about the way you painted eyes. He looks like he's making an "am I kawaii uguu" face.
Are Windriders and good? I'm building a CWE Constructs army but I start to think a fast unit or two Tokyo-drifting around the table won't hurt. Should I grab 3 or 6 of them? Is Bike Farseer a valid addition as well or should I skip this one?
>>96698007Looks good, certainly better than decalmutant's.
>>96698062>I'm building a CWE Constructs armyRookie error.Pick a different army
>>96698062They're not terrible but Hawks and Spiders do their job better. Bikeseer is kinda awful right now.
>>96698012I haven't listened to this ladys music in so long. I don't care about your gay drama or whatever but thank you for reminding me of her
>rhino arrived for my next project>current project unfinishedahhhhh i need to get this done quickly so i can do fun things
Reminder that Farsight (the actual good guy) rebelled for a reason.
>>96698087Do not the bird
>>96698092You really can't since there's no vagina
>>96698077Why is that so? Minis are soulful kek, theme is clear and neat. The core of the army is the rule of cool but I'm simply looking for a way to support it a little. >>96698078I'm lucky to live in a country where the secondary market is literally flooded with Combat Patrol magazine sprues so I can buy 2 Windriders for $10 - that's why I'm considering them in the first place over other gotta-go-fast units. Easy to paint as well.
>>96698013Space Marine 2 and Dawn of War games are definitely canon. Space Marine 1 was iffy, but with sequel they made sure to resolve all inconsistencies. DoW was always canon, but since it's about some literally who chapter doing irrelevant stuff who the fuck knows where it just doesn't matter. Darktide is like DoW too
Why is there a Krieg Battleforce but not an Eldar Battleforce? Krieg got an Arny Set, Combat Patrol and now a Battleforce. What the fuck. Eldar got nothing.
>>96698093Not with that attitude
>>96698094>Why is that so?Because you've picked an eldar. Either dumb/new or LGBTBBQ+-=
>>96698093She has a mouth, a cloaka, hands and thighs as well.
>>96698097Not shitposting but krieg is probably more popular than all of eldar. And also battleforces are usually made up of the previous years releases, and eldar was this year
>>96698097Because Krieg is more popular and recognisable than some elves.
>>96698104>thighsA man of taste but you forgot prehensile bord feet
>>96698109Not I did not.
>>96698097Is this a rhetorical question? 'Cause i'm sure you know damn well why.
>>96698105 >krieg more popular than all of eldar>not shitpostingAt this point I'm convinced all you anti eldar schizos are nomodel secondaries
>>96698113I retract my previous praise
>>96698100Ah, so you are a tourist LARPing for an oldfag. Let me guess, next you will shit and piss in your pants claiming that Riptide Wing gave you PTSD?
>>96698087the reason is that gw wanted a tau suit with a kickass sword but didn't want to give tau melee units of suits with kickass swords, so he was made an exception because he's a rebel, you seeit's all down to the sword
>>96698097Because they couldn't come up with a composition that would result in 30%ish discount as well as not spam epic since "everyone" is expecting aspect warriors with PLs and their vehicles and walkers are still kinda fucking old, rhino gets a pass because its a rectangular box, and they try (emphasis on try) to bait you into buying multiple boxes and epic kinda make that hard to achieve
>>96698117>eldarfag jumps behind tau within an instantLMAO>Let me guess, next you will shit and piss in your pants claiming that Riptide Wing gave you PTSD?Nope
>>96698129>Nopeof course not, you dont own any models lmao
>>96698115I don't even dislike eldsr stuff. I like their planes and jetbikes a lot and wraithdudes seem really neat. Krieg is the reddit faction, and also is a brand new army, so the sales tracking will look fucking huge, whereas eldar have just gotten a few sprinkling of releases, so they don't get those big jumps in sales. They just aren't popular, and they don't really get the chance to get the big sales some of the other factions have.
>>96698133Keeo crying NPC
Hypothetically: would anyone here care if I ran "Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor" as a leader for a 5 man unit of my World Eaters Terminators for 95 pts? I'd just bump him up to 7" movement and nothing else. I'd plan to use the "Berzerker Glaive" enhancement on him for another 25 pts.
>>96698136>doesn't even deny itlmao fuck off back to /v/ already
>>96698133>>96698136Skip to the part where you both refuse to post models and call each other retarded and then look deeply into each others eyes before locking into a deep passionate kiss and rubbing your bodies against each other
When the rhino was retooled but they update it in any way?
>>96698122>the reason is that gw wanted a tau suit with a kickass sword>kickass sword
>>966981407" move goddamn bro be shmoovin. Also>not 8
>>96698152all the regular termies move at 7" because they're fat. he'd be the same speed as the rest of em.>not 8shame, but a glory reserved only for berzerkers.
>>96698143How about no, xenofag?>>96698144Projecting much?
>>96698146?
>>96698151It was pretty kickass for the time, you wouldn't understand
>>96698163i have a hunch hes talking about the deimos
>>96698146It wasn't retooled. There's a new mould for sisters, but apparently it has all the same issues. They still sell the mould from the early 00s though, I just don't know why anyone would buy a NIB rhino
>>96698151He's so cool
>>96698151Why is bro so ears
wish theyd give me back my 15" 3 damage disintegration beams
>>96698115Cope, eldarfag.CWE and DEldar are overrepresented online because of the rule 34, but in the real world there's way more Guardfag players and collectors.CWE have always been a minority faction.
>>96698186Black people don't play 40k though?
>>96698107Is votann more popular than eldar? They got an army set and 2 battleforces since they came out already.Are they putting out boxes that they know will sell well or are they using these promo boxes to push models that aren't that popular? Tyranid one is just GW getting rid of excess stock, it's impossible to argue otherwise. Combat patrol is the same, with iron hands one they're trying to push out turrets, with eldar one they're trying to clear the old dire avenger stock.I think new eldar models are selling well enough that they cynically didn't want to put them in a promo box yet.
>>96698193>Are they putting out boxes that they know will sell well or are they using these promo boxes to push models that aren't that popular?both
>>96698193Tyranids are pretty mid in popularity. Only women play them and they are a minority within the playerbase.
>>96698184I wish killa kans had baggy pants and cool sneakers
>>96698169The sisters orhino is a new top for the 3rd ed/2002 rhino. The chassis of it is still the same, it just includes a SoB upgrade sprue.Only the immolator and exorcist actually have new a new chassis Maybe I'm wrong then, I just remember it being retooled at some point about a decade ago to make it go together better and have seen some other people mention it over the years.
>>96698186>source: it made it the fuck up
>>96698193Eldar are the most popular xenos. GW makes Battleforces for new people to start an army so unpopular armies get those with the exception of Space Marines and Tau (Tau got a Battleforce every year besides 2023) because there needs to be something to boost Battleforce sales.
>>96698113based
>>96698203Cope, unpopular factions do not get battleboxes>>96698206Delusional. Orks, Tau, and Necrons since 9th are a lot more popular than eldar have been
>>96698206orks alone are like ten times more popular than eldar.
>>96698186I feel like Guard players have dropped waaaay way off in the last few years. Like they don't get very many new fans. There are a lot of them still but it's all like veterans that have been on the hobby for years and years. Pretty sure they've been overtaken by lots of other factions since the explosive growth of the hobby in 8th edition.It probably doesn't help that guard has not been treated very well as an army by rules since 7th either, despite two big refresh waves. Krieg was also massively over hyped and did not convert nearly as many of their meme fans into players as they might have hoped.
>>96698206>necronsreally?
>>96698202I've seen people complaining about the same stuff they have since I started in late 7th so unless they retooled it before then and didn't fix anything I think it's the same 2002 rhino
They should add proper dragons to 40k.
I like when this shithole has heated arguments about something neither side can actually prove, I hope all you faggots die in a fire
>>96698193>Is votann more popular than eldar?Probably, because Votann are partially humans and aren't walking failures.
deep rock galactic is not THAT popular to carry a faction in niche plastic miniature game
>>96698239>>96698239>>96698239image limit has been reached so new thread has been baked>>96698229I dont! I want people to get along
>>96698238They do not even have proper mining gear. They wasted that opportunity by making the GSC the default miner faction.

>>96698218I'm interested in infantry guard on a conceptual level but the cost in both money and time gave me pause.
>>96695816>>96695816I already have 2 screamers, but I could use more of all the rest
