That fun is still allowed

I look at all other alternatives that are popping up and all I see is grimdark played straight, and while I also appreciate that and the artistic directions and designs behind each, I don't see them having nearly as much fun with designs and concepts that are amusing to the viewer/player

I dread the day GW forgets this part of 40k

I've always felt 50:50 on these toys. On one hand, it's very cool to have a giant fucking version of the exact sculpt that you can pose. On the other hand, they give people an opportunity to own a sculpt of a character without painting it, and still get the same satisfaction without any of the effort. I worry long term this could have a ripple effect, and the amount of BL secondaries and video game secondaries who would've painted a model will slowly decrease, leading to less interest in the hobby as a whole. This is literally doomposting, and probably won't happen, but I can't help but fear what happens to the minis if some other part of the IP becomes more profitable or easy for the company.

Orks. It may seem mundane to us, but the whole "ladz havin' propa fun" on their POV, but its "a horde of monstrous, bloodyhirsty marauders destroying everything" for everyone else's POV is cool.
The fact they can both look silly and threatening at the same time is unique. I dont know what other setting has a comedic relief faction that's also a legit scary and threatening faction at the same time, without trying too hard to be le funny and randumz.

Hell even Raptor God is more legit than those, frankly.
I mean I wan't ripping too much on the concept, think basic Hades started with 10 gods not counting Chaos and a "conservative" 40k version could reasonably have 9. Hades is kind of overpraised as far as roguelike things are concerned and that was the main reason I even spoke out

Aren't all gods in 40k formed in the warp from collective conciousness? Eldar created their pantheon just like they created Ynnead.
Eldar gods are tied to eldar but chaos gods represent primal fears/emotions of beings across all universe.

This is a perfectly fine 1000 point army. It's not the strongest thing you could do with eldar, but it's flexible and has tools to handle most things that would be thrown at you in a 1k game. It can also easily expand in multiple directions if you want to.
As for playing it, you have strong skirmishing ability with the scorpions, warp spiders and shining spears, the fire prism can put a decent dent in most vehicles, and together with the shining spears should be able to handle a big thing fairly reliably. The Scorpions are the most likely place to put the autarch in (though it can go with the DAs too if you want it to play a more careful role) and that's a damn choppy unit against infantry. It's probably tempting to put it out there very early and aggressively with the scout+infiltrate, but I do think it's a unit better played more carefully, as it's your best bet to snatch objectives away, and it's your most expensive piece (if the autarch's with them) so needs to be able to make itself useful.

Blade Champion is a bit tankier, hits slightly harder but has IMO much worse rule and is 120 pts.

>>
>>96829536
>Calgar's gimmick is that he leads lots of different stuff
Advance/charge on bladeguard or assault terminators from a character is nice, and he's still as punchy as ever, so this is a pretty neat sidegrade to his gravis datasheet.
>>96829538
>only leads Victrix
This is a nerf, his main utility has always been a cheap and cheery assault intercessor squad with an irritating reactive move. On the OTHER hand, Victrix have a surge move, so Cato and a Victrix unit kind of project a 9" bubble of "pain in the ass to deal with", and a 6-man victrix unit is no joke to take down.

Wild Rider has an eldar experience a flashback to a previous life during the War In Heaven, the Eldar were meant to battle Chaos and would sometimes even ally with the Necrons to do it.

Yes. Daemons were entering reality before the War In Heaven, and the Eldar and Krorks were explicitly made to combat them, not the Eldar. It was exposure to the Eldar that eventually drove the Necrontyr to declare war on the Old Ones out of jealousy. The second declaration is the one where they became the Necrons.

According to 3rd edition codex eldar gods only existed in the warp after they became the dominant force in the universe and there were gorillions of them.
Which is consistent with how they created slaanesh, how they created ynnead and how the humans are turning emperor into a god.
Eldar gods and the myths are based on fictionalized stories the primitive eldar told about the war in heaven.

the 30k kits are generally pretty clean and easy to put together. They come with lots of optional parts (some of them 30k specific). More rounded in aesthetic.
The 40k kits show their age a little bit in some respects, but do have the benefit of coming with chaos-y parts, lots of spikes and gargoyle heads etc. Without some of these, the 30k ones can feel a bit too loyalist.
The vindicator in particular has very different siege shields depending on if you get the 30k/40k one.
If it were me, I'd pick which siege shield you like and pick that; its its the 40k one then you can use the chaos bits from that box to spruce up the other two if you go 30k. If you get the 30k vindicator, then get at least one 40k kit for chaos bits.

The second box would be a great value. Even if you threw the Solitaire away you'd still be saving money. And you shouldn't throw the Solitaire away because you can use the body as a base for a conversion. Using just the bits in the box you can make it into a unique Troupe Master or just a regular Troupe member, which is actually valuable because of the weird numbers you can take Troupes in.

The Imperium itself.

Planning to start a 40k CSM army with the 30k Saturnine box. Supposedly I can use the 40x Mk2 marines as some combination of Legionaries and Havocs based on weapon loadouts?

A big problem with a lot of sci-fi and fantasy these days is that writers don't know how to write characters who don't sound like them. You'll get some crazy sci-fi thing one million years in the future, or some big fantasy epic in a crazy magic world, but everybody will talk like somebody who works at Gamestop.

But with Warhammer, the fact that people believe such alien things so strongly is a key factor of the setting. So even shitty writers will at least try to write what an Imperial citizen would say, not what the writer would say.

I took that from lexicanum.
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/War_in_Heaven_(Necron)#The_Young_Races

It says the old ones created psychically potent races in response to getting whooped by c'tan. Then these races went all out with psi powers which spawned enslavers.

I admit it's my conjecture in part, I'd assume that if they had access to psi as a weapon they wouldn't need to engineer other races specifically for it.
And if they were "masters of it" they wouldn't let it get as far as it did, where the warp eventually spawned enslavers that made them extinct.
>>
>>96829290
>On the other hand, they give people an opportunity to own a sculpt of a character without painting it, and still get the same satisfaction without any of the effort.
The satisfaction of painting comes from the process itself. It's satisfying to have created something, not have something that is created.
>>
>>96829849
I think its less writers policing themselves and more the fact GW won't let them do it because having whedon quip offs or characters turning to look at the reader and say 'fuck drumpf, fuck ice' would totally ruin everything.

Yep, 40k is a fun twist on the usual premise, where (some of) the aliens end up being the relatable ones that appeal to your humanity, and the actual main human faction feels very alien and grotesque. It feels like you're watching some nightmare eldritch realm with human skin-creatures.

I dont really feel that, I think if you were to cut up the turret legs and reposition them and add couple bits it'd match the height & bulk of the defiler more than it'd match the venomcrawler.
But ultimately the model lies somewhere between both models so its just a matter of "do you want a smaller defiler or bigger venomcrawler?", IMO it doesn't quite fit eather size-wise without conversion work.

Moscow Narrative scene is so big they've resorted to playing 3k point 3vs3 matches, with multiple people attending every game night, so across multiple tables afaik. The fluff for their homebrew system is a bit doofy but I gotta appreciate at least custom scenarios they do. Haven't been there yet but this narrative giga-campaign might've also somewhat subdued narrative play in other clubs, dunno.
Otherwise it seems to be pretty damn big.

>>96830270
Hugely popular. They're probably second per-capita behind only england itself. Cosplay and fan art are very popular there as well, a lot of the best of those that get reposted the most are of russian origin.

The blessing weapons thing is already a thing in Orthodoxy, and western christians do the same thing just not as part of official parades. But many of the things from 40k fitting into Orthodoxy rituals is part of why they like it so much. They also relate to the idea of enemies all over the world (galaxy) being against them and they have to stand strong and make sacrifices to stand against the tide of the rest of the world. It's ingrained in how they see their own history, and it's basically the gist of the Imperium in 40k.

Why are humans the only race that produces blanks?

ik a lot of ppl hate them but i think primarchs are the coolest thing in the setting besides the warp, even if they're basically marvel superheroes. something about a 12 ft tall warrior demigod cleaving thru waves of xenos is awesome but ultimately pointless in the grimdark setting of non stop war. the fact that they're almost unstoppable one man armies but can only be one place at a time really hammer home the scale of warfare the Imperium is waging. its dumb anime bullshit but i like dumb anime bullshit

Tau have lost to Chaos every time they have fought it for real. Shadowsun and her fleet got destroyed by the Death Guard when they weren't even really trying.

I think this list would be MUCH better in either pactbound or veterans, especially pactbound.

And that’s precisely what Guilliman fell for. He was tricked into invading the Silent King’s territory because the Eldar warned him not to, and Guilliman knows that the Eldar never tell the truth, so he thought that that meant if he invaded the Silent King’s territory it would be a success, but the Eldar were once again deceiving humanity through reverse psychology. Luckily, Guilliman invaded the Eldar craftworld afterwords to punish them for this and their people were put to death for their treachery.

Chaos and the Imperium are also hopelessly fucked. Chaos are just a collective of aetheric emissions constantly lying to themselves about how they’ll definitely perpetuate themselves forever and not inevitably Peter out once everything in the galaxy is a barren husk. The Imperium is a bureaucracy from hell and was always destined for failure.

Well, he didn’t personally invade the Eldar craftworlds, but his Ultramarines did, I would assume on his orders or at the very least with his knowledge. And if the Eldar are saving Guilliman, it’s so that they can try to trick him again later to harm humanity.

The inherent (and frankly dogshit) multiversal nature of Warhammer begs to differ. I mean I wouldn't mind if your headcanon was legit but it isn't and at worst ends with 40k galaxy being temporarily cut off from the Warp until new life emerges and thats it. And that's not counting the (again, frankly not well-executed) atemporal nature of Daemons/Gods.
So no, your "bad ending for everyone" mentality doesn't work here and as a result feels dissatisfying as a whole, merely being the BL editor version of setting ending with extra steps.

They sure as fuck are not abstract as it stands, they're literally Fantasy hands-me-down designs.
Its not both settings even sharing daemons, its historically just Fantasy daemons being shoved into 40k with zero changes.
There is nothing about current daemons that convey their abstract, demi-real nature like you have with Nighthaunt or C'tan Shards having wispy/digitalized texures.
They're frankly impossible to defend IMO.

Yeah we have a problem when we have a generic balrog from fantasy with fluff that goes "DUUUDE ITS SUCH A WEIRD ENTITY YOU WOTN BELIEVE IT LIKE TIMETRAVELS AND WAS BORN AFTER IT EXISTED AND AND AND AND ITS TOTALLY LOVECRAFTIAN DUUUD". Nein. No. Nyet. Bad, dogshit, burn it away or fix it and revamp it entirely.

Dude, if this this enough to solve your stated problem with demons then there's something wrong in your head.

It's just going to be another generic balrog from fantasy with fluff that goes "DUUUDE ITS SUCH A WEIRD ENTITY YOU WOTN BELIEVE IT LIKE TIMETRAVELS AND WAS BORN AFTER IT EXISTED AND AND AND AND ITS TOTALLY LOVECRAFTIAN DUUUD"

The reason why daemons look generic for us is because it is not possible to make an eldritch monster that is imcomprehensible in a miniature form.

Technically the pain started earlier cause I pierced my skin on some of the model's spikes while building my archon.
>>
>>96831913
I mean obviously they deserve more 40k elements and generally weirder appearance. Fantasy looks belong in fantasy, they deserve to be entirely different ranges with arguably also different fluff.
But yes between the upper variant and bottom I'd choose bottom, unsure if you meant for those smoke effects to read like they have teeth but thats a decent spin.

Nobody recasts in plastic. The plastic models that are recanted are recasted in resin. Molten plastic isn't fluid enough to be cast without big presses and steel moulds and physically injected into the mould. Whereas most recasters are using silicone moulds

Also plastic molding that GW uses to achieve the high quality models is specifically high pressure plastic injection molding, so it can capture all those small intricate details on models.
