>thicc scorpion ladythis is off to a good start
>>96851915no, my spooky army should get more options.(This is my submission if collageman didn't see it last thread)
I'm kinda hoping that they use the 6th Sphere expansion as a way to sorta solidify the Tau lore. Right now they exist sorta in in-between their old lore, their new lore, and whatever nonsense Phil Kelly was writing. Not that I'm all that hopeful because I'm fairly certain the 6th Sphere will be against Ultramar and they'll fuck it all up.
the spooky part of my army is how poorly I've painted it
What are you working on /40kg/? I'm gonna finish the rest of my banner set, any suggestions for the designs?Post models.
>>96851915There's already plenty of spooky armies.
>>96851939You need to attach your submission to his anchor posts. He's not combing every single post
>>96851915>TQI wish thousand sons were spooky, they arent even grimdark. Just some out of place "chaos" marine army
>>96851983just paint them grimdark if you want them that way lol
>>96851939You need to start washing your minis before primer, and start wearing gloves while painting and using a painting handle. Anyone who's base rims are rubbing off that soon is a greasy fuck
>>96851983They're fine for chaos but a weird way to represent the type of chaos Tzeentch is. The marine half of the army anyways.
>>96851991maybe, it wasn't that bad before I started using white primer
>>96851968Kheradruakh would have been a better character release than Malys.
>>96852003White primer tends to have more gloss in it, which is more slippery. Generally it's not an issue but particularly oily people will find that their finger oils are all it takes for things to flake off, hence the suggestion of painting like an adult with a handle and gloves
>>96852024thank you, I will switch primers
>>96852007So would Sliscus, considering the Corsair wave coming out. Malys has been a fan favorite for a long time though.
>>96852058>Malys has been a fan favoriteone fan's favourite, you mean
>>96852053I won't make a difference if you're filthy enough to have that happen to something as new as malstrains. Consider washing your hands or bathing instead and see if that makes a difference
>>96852081JBR is obsessed with Aestra Khromys of the Obsidian Rose, not Malys. She just does occasional art of other named characters too.
>>96852058she'd be a fine addition in concept but the sculpt is just so bland and basic. Like, dark eldar are twisted kinky people, put her in a gymnast's pose that exposes her butthole or something.
>>96852058>Malys has been a fan favorite
>>96852058Nobody knows about or cares about any of these gay elf characters. They're all interchangeable and it does not change anything to have one participate in the narrative over another one
So what new marines models will they be announcing on Saturday?
>>96851957I left my models on the ship like a dumbass
>>96852145Navy? Or alien?
>>96852130custodes
>>96851991Shut up, tard. You don't know what you're talking about
>>96852130Standalone assault terminator box.
>>96852153Fisherman
>>96852130New edition obviously, enjoy your marine slop piggie
>>96851957Still working on my leviathan and assault marines. Not gonna post cus there hasn’t been much progress.
>>96852177Enjoy waiting in breadlines for models, piggy :^)
>>96852161That's been a well known problem for decades. Who are you trying to kid rn
>>96852130Vostroyans will be for christmas, so maybe the Tau/kroot thing?
>>96852199Nobody washes PLASTIC models before priming retard
>>96852170Contract or private? Is the boat coming back or are your minis lost at sea for the next few months
>>96851957I’ve been chipping away at my Sisters lately
>>96852207Actually they do, it gets rid of finger oils, mould release and dust before priming. Every high end painter at least rinses their shit before prime, but they've likely already scrubbed it on the sprue, and are an adult so they painted using a handle and gloves, so they don't see the same oil buildup that your average gamer outputs
>>96852234Nope, keep larping though this is entertaining
>>96852232Whatever you used to apply your blue tone to the flat panels on your tank I would suggest finding an alternative way
>>96852232what a sad color, I hope you're gonna apply a judicious amount of gold and silver
>>96852234I don't know anyone, irl or online, who paints with fucking gloves on.Handles sure, they get used.
>>96851957Stuck at work wishing I was at home painting Orks.
>>96852234Nigga, at that point get a fucking cleanroom for building models if you are so paranoid about skin oils and dust.
>>96852130Primaris already aspect warriors but muhreenz, who is getting their mechanics cribbed next? Primaris+looted vehicles?
>>96852234>mould release>GW plasticyou've never touched a GW kit in your life much less watched any "high end painter" do so either
>>96851983i always found it odd how the lord of change has a bunch of dudes kept in a kind of immortal stasis as the rubrics
I want a book where Tau and Eldar meet and end up having to cooperate against the ImperiumMaybe I'll write one
>>96852326Buy an ad faggot, your comic sucks dick and not in a fun way
>>96851957doing pre-weathering work on my baneblade. also gonna be adding loose wire and scrap armor panels. >as a reminder>my IG guys are from a junkyard world where stuff gets thrown out>they scavenge all their equipment and get none directly from forgeworlds
>>96852334Suggesting you check out nightshift on YouTube, he does a lot of preweathering amd could give you some fun ideas
>>96852330You seem upset.
>>96852348already do! the grey is all tamiya putty metal texture like he does.
>>96852315The fact that the Eldar constantly struggle to work together with the Imperium but have never made so much as an attempt to cooperate with the Tau is super funny and bizarre.
How many people are real here?
>>96852361You keep spamming this dog ass mspaint slop and it looks like shit
>>96852363It's cause the Eldar are even more naive than the Tau. The only Craftworld that knows how to deal with the Imperium is fucking Biel-tan
i still remember the day skatros was revealed.
>>96852378god she so bad
>>96852373Excellent question! while it's easy to assume most posters here are either made by a small number of users — or sometimes even simple bots — the truth is that most posts are made by real people, with not just full lives, but also complex ideas!
>>96852377>youNot everyone is your boogeyman.
>>96852363there's a dozen craftworlds and 100 tau worlds. when would they ever run into each other?
What the actual fuck is this bullshit? All those chaos cultist models with stubguns, autorifles and 50 cals and they couldn't just add them as an 'Up to three' option?
>>96852411I want to know how many posts the average and median poster makes per thread. Sometimes it does feel like it's just 5 guys flinging shit around.
>>96852378could be much improved if she was just 50ft taller.
>>96852363The reason GW doesn't write Eldar/Tau interactions is because logically 95% of their meetings would be diplomatic meetings over minor border disputes and trade deals.Eldar avoid conflicts where they can and Tau are open to talk things over rather than shooting on sight. The two don't have much reason to fight beyond whatever localized plot shenanigans someone makes up for a narrative.
I asked that yesterday but i just want to be sure so anons if U can please help me?So I started collecting dwarfs as my first tabletop army and atm im sitting at:10x Hearthkyn Warriors10x Einhyr Hearthguard3x Hernkyn Pioneers1x Kâhlwould you considder getting VOtann army box (the one with codex) and christmass box a good boxes to get for my first army?
>>96852413Aren't there roughly 300 Tau worlds now? They had 100 worlds after the 2nd Sphere Expansion, then they had about 250 worlds after the 3rd sphere expansion.4thh Sphere doesn't have a specific number but still mentions several worlds taken so...I dunno, let's say 10? It was overall a failure so only 10 seems fair.5th Sphere is still ongoing but has been much more successful and established several warzones where they're expanding so given how successful the 3rd sphere was saying 40 or so planets captured seems fair here.
>>96852424why is upgrading to a bolt pistol even an option? it's just better. what's the point?
>>96851983Chaos used to be spooky and grimdark before 8e flanderized them into goofy funny cartoon villains
>>96852448so you dont have to roll seperately for it
>>96852413Alaitoc is on the East, isn't it?
>>96852446but half of those planets have less than 100,000 people on them. There might still be less Tau than Eldar(depending on how big you think the craftworlds actually are)
>>96851957The lads get brought out of retirement for one last job.
>>96852373Not me. I'm a schizophrenic construct of your imagination.
>>96852378Flatseer lmao
Why can some people survive daemons crawling into their bodies but others can't?It's like the setting has everything from merely uttering a daemon's name damns you to Eisenhorn's possession destroys or ruins you to "Oh yeah we get possessed on Fridays for kicks".
>>96852238NTA but I do, to make sure there's no dust and other shit on them.
>>96852413There are a dozen named Craftworlds but a few hundred unnamed ones, they're like marine chapters with space for /your dudes/
>>96852386I've liked it since day one. Not a mech fag but I want a pair of them for a diorama of them trudging through a swamp with a few skitari buried up to their chests carrying their rifle like pic related walking alongside them. Maybe one of the dreadnought sized robots wrecked in the mud along with them as well
>>96852482>but half of those planets have less than 100,000 people on themDo they? There are Tau ecumenopoli with trillions of people on them. And they've conquered multiple hive worlds and forge worlds. Not sure where people get the idea that Tau worlds are little yokel farm villages.
>>96852498Differences in soul strength and trained disposition and discipline. Exorcists have an incredible attrition rate for their recruiting process and many do not survive the possession and exorcism attempt.
>>96852413There are as many Craftworlds as there are space marine chapters
>>96852515>Not sure where people get the idea that Tau worlds are little yokel farm villages.Because they are retarded and don't actually read any of the fluff.They only learn from the memes and think they are 100% real at face value.
>>96852512your taste in models is dogshit
>>96852538What's the single most destructive meme in the 40k community?
>>96852546Yvraine and Guilliman
>>96852498Skill issue really.
>>96852546Guilliman/Yvraine shipping outright killed the Ynnari and ended Yvraine as a character.
>>96852546Yeah Yvraine and Guillifag and it's not even close.
>>96852546Leman Russ and Isha shipping if they ever unironically have Leman save her from nurgle
>>96852546That BL is canon.
>>96852498It all entirely depends on the person themselves. Not every person is the same or equally good at everything.This happens even in real life, some people are better at math, some are better arts, some better physically building/making something.Even within a specific field there are differences between people, some are better at trigonometry and while another is better at calculating chance
>>96852557>outright killed the Ynnari and ended Yvraine as a character.To add to this, the Ynnari were also the central plotline that every Eldar plot was packaged into. An overwhelming majority of Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Harlequin plots were put under the Ynnari umbrella, and when it collapsed they all got shafted as well.
>>96852546Blood MagpiesShovelkriegWater CasteIt's a satire/The Imperium is Fascist/The Imperium is CommunistBlack MarinesFemstodesthe Curse of Unbelief
>>96852593Necoho is canon.
>>96852581>This happens even in real life, some people are better at math, some are better arts, some better physically building/making something.In this case I'd say it's more like some people can get shot 12 times and crawl to safety, others take a BB to the chin and die of sepsis two days later.

>>96852593Orks are all that kid from the Twilight Zone movie
>>96852546The entire general idea that the Imperium was 'forced' to be the way it is by outside forces/that everything retarded it does is actually justified. The Imperium was always meant to be a parody on the most self-destructive impulses of tyranny and totalitarianism. People trying to rationalize its actions not only misses the point, it takes away half the fun.

>>96852424They are not in the nu-sprue ergo they have been unpersoned. The last cultists with rifles were from a BSF expansion.
>>96852728Decalfag, you mean? Unfortunately he does, yes.
>>96852685I'm fine with the Death Korp being suicidal retards, I just wish people understood that it is, in fact, supposed to be as dumb as it sounds. I mean, FFS, Vraks was a complete fucking failure. Their insistence on a long, grueling, WW1 style siege instead of just a tactical quick insert meant that by the time they actually took the city, all of the munitions they had fought to re-acquire were gone, and the landscape had turned into such a death-ridden bog that the person responsible got turned into a fucking Nurgle daemon prince instead of being executed.The Death Korp's legacy is one of repeated failure. They basically never win in any of their conflicts. They're chronic losers.
>>96852769>picthat retort sounded way better in the artists head
>>96852546As a Tau fan, probably the Damocles Crusade. Not the Crusade itself, that was fine. But rather, the fact that they retreated when the Tyranids invaded. Even though the Crusade was a complete failure on every front, and they failed to take the first major world they encountered, with every indication being that they were going to be trapped and their forces destroyed entirely as new Tau reinforcements poured in, there are STILL people who think the Tau only survived because they got 'saved' by the Tyranids arriving.Case in point:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R66Rqe_hrII'm fine with the Tau losing sometimes, but I've never seen anyone celebrate their losses as if they were victories the way you see some of the more delusional Imperiumfags celebrate theirs.
>>96852769>Eldar Farseer>Firstborn MarineOne of these is extinct now, and it's not the Eldar
>>96851957Slowly moving forward with my custodes.I dont know if I should wait for the Sagittarius helmet for the 5th guy or give him an unhelmeted head.
What's the benefit of assault terminators over regular ones? +1 wound w/ shields. It used to be that assault had a 4++ while regular had a 5++ but that's no longer the case. You can give regular ones chainfists for dealing with vehicles.I can see how dev wounds from thunder hammers are good but they're slow, you might drop in or unload from an LRC, get a good charge off but after that they're kinda stuck. At least regular terminators can shoot things, somewhat. I'm not disputing that they're cool but I don't know if they're really worth their cost.I play BT if that helps clarify things. Most of them time, our one melee vow isn't going to do anything for them unless you only go after T8+ targets, and unless you're playing against knights or oops all tanks guard armies I don't see many good targets for them, at least to justify their cost.
>>96852789>that retort sounded way better in the artists headHonestly "Being retarded is actually based and redpilled" pretty much sounds like the average Imperium conversation in a nutshell.
>>96852643Looking at K47 Ngl. kinda growing bitter with 10th.All i wanted to do was run Krieg artillery.
>>96852824The Imperium didn't lose in Damocles, they were sidetracked by the Tyranids.
>>96852847They accomplished zero of their objectives while the Tau accomplished 100% of theirs. That's called losing.
>>96852834gun sword is dumb, even for 40k.
>>96852854Their objective was to kill Tau. They succeeded.
>>96852847>imperiumfag copealways funny to see
ultramarines and gulliman especially are cool and im tired of pretending theyre not !!
>>96852864>The Imperium not even having a long-term strategic goal to survive, just 'kill people uh....yeah just kill people'Sounds accurate.Yeah
>>96852871Yvraine is a terrible character but damn if she isn't hot.
>>96852847So they lost to the Tyranids then
>>96852876That's literally all they need to do. If it wasn't for the Tyranids they would have crushed the entire Tau empire into dust. All it took was a single Assassin to kill the greatest Tau Ethereal and cripple their entire race.>>96852887Still ongoing, Imperium's winning that one too though.
>>96852546It's undoubtedly Gulliman x Yvraine. That mindvirus is fucking everywhere and based on absolutely nothing and people spout it like it's actually real. The problem with writing a nothing-burger character and making it a hot woman is that the fan base will write a character for her, and it's not ever going to be anything but a horny slut.
>>96852910its okay bc 40k has such few hot female characters we can have one low hanging fruit coombait to throw the gooners a bone
>>96852898>That's literally all they need to doThe Tau have mass cloningTrying to attrition them to death is literally the opposite of what they need to do>If it wasn't for the Tyranids they would have crushed the entire Tau empire into dustWhich is why they were being pushed back and the entire crusade was threatened with complete annihilation as their last LZ was being threatened>All it took was a single Assassin to kill the greatest Tau Ethereal and cripple their entire race.Killing ethereals doesn't particularly harm the Tau. In fact it's hilarious because the Imperium keeps trying to do just that and it never works. They did it on Taros too and it just resulted in the Tau fighting even harder. The ethereals aren't the thing that keep the Tau encouraged to fight. They're just the thing that keeps the Tau fighting in a civilized manner. Killing the ethereals doesn't stop them from fighting, it just makes them bring out the warcrimes.
>>96852935>The Tau have mass cloningSo does the Imperium. Hardly a relevant point, I bet Krieg clones regiments have a higher population than the half of the Tau Empire during the Democles meme crusade.>Killing ethereals doesn't particularly harm the TauThey even had rules for this. Not my fucking fault modern GW can't keep up with their piece of shit lore.
>>96852935>Which is why they were being pushed back and the entire crusade was threatened with complete annihilation as their last LZ was being threatenedThe LZ they cleared of the Tau, pushing them back, and giving the Imperials the relief they needed to evacuate?>Killing ethereals doesn't particularly harm the Tau.Except for all the times it did.
>>96852789I thought it was fineIt's just a bit MCU tier
>>96853013>So does the Imperium.Yes, but the Imperium doesn't have the quality to make up for it. The Tau fucking farm Imperial Guard regiments for XP for fucks sakes, in one conflict on a single Tau planet you have an ongoing war where millions of Imperial Guard have died. Not Guardsmen, but entire regiments, the number of fallen is in the hundreds of billions.If the Imperium wants to overcome the Tau, it's going to need to pull out a lot of Space Marines, and it sure as fuck can't afford to do that when they only have 1 per planet.>They even had rules for this.Yes but because of the length of a game the rules don't take into account the other part of the lore. If you kill an Ethereal, you get a momentary shock that might win you that particular engagement, but for the rest of the campaign you've just made the Tau fight so much more ferociously than they were before.
>>96853028>The LZ they cleared of the Tau, pushing them back, and giving the Imperials the relief they needed to evacuate?You mean the LZ the Tau evacuated after striking up a deal with the Imperials to let them retreat where they casually escorted them off of their territory while taking back the rest of the planets and then some with no resistance?
>>96852834Those molten swords make me ‘ard.
>>96852769>I have read your past, knife-ears>You have spent millions of year...>*checks notes*>Orgie torture raping each other?!The Eldar really shouldnt talk after that Slaanesh deal
>>96853047>millions of Imperial Guard have died*Imperial Guard regiments
>>96852129>They're all interchangeableLmao, you're in 40kg 50%+ percent of people play the exact same faction but pretend it's different because of their coat of paint. And if we counted those who pretend adding wolves, robes or spikes makes them different it'd probably get to 70-80%+
I’m trying to build a list where the marines feel more like powerful leaders rather than foot soldiers. I’m trying to find some good unit combinations to fit.So what are some non-marine units that can be led by marines? Obviously Accursed Cultists and Cultist Mob can be led by Dark Apostle. Anything else? Or any other ideas how to build a list like this?

>>96853054Your historical revisionism doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
>>96853090Thank you for pointing this out.Rest assured that GW is taking corrective action.Enjoy your 11E codex updates.
>>96853105>Tens of thousands of Taulollmao evenThere are hundreds of trillions of Tau
>>96853078judging by the collages there's quite a lot of non-marinefags
>>96853047>Yes, but the Imperium doesn't have the quality to make up for itWhat the fuck does that even mean?
>>96853129At least half of the collage posters also have marines.
Why can’t Tau and imperium posters be friends?
>>96853133It means that you can throw hundreds of billions of Guardsmen at the Tau if you want to, but you're going to need a significant force of Space Marines to make serious progress. Not the mere thousands they've committed in previous engagements, and even with tens of thousands it's pretty iffy now, they'd have to commit hundreds of thousands of Space Marines to ensure victory.And would they succeed? Absolutely. But they'd lose so much territory in so many other sectors in the process that it wouldn't be worth it for them.
>>96853151Because this thread is full of autists that have some misplaced need to prove their faction is the strongest in the lore of a fucking toy soldier game.
>>96852910>It's undoubtedly Gulliman x Yvraine. That mindvirus is fucking everywhere and based on absolutely nothing and people spout it like it's actually real.Nothing you say?
>>96853151Overlapping interests.The Imperial Guard consists of average men fighting for survival in a galaxy of strange monsters and twisted eldritch creatures. The Tau military is the same way.The Imperium is HFY because humanity genociding aliens left and right is a natural human impulse. The Tau are also HFY because humanity having sex with aliens is also a natural human impulse.
>>96853157>TIDF postingAnd I thought we where going to have an honest discussion
>>96853187Look I know you're not all that much into reading but even Space Marines are saying as much.
>>96853151taufags and guardfags are too similar to be friends, while marinefags are too insecure to have interactions that aren't empty attempts at bullying or autistic revenge fanfics.admechfags and taufags are sharing programmer socks behind the scenes, so you won't hear much from them.
Aight boys should I buy another combat patrol alongside my harlequins>Drukhari patrol - Not too in a rush for this one since it should be around for a while longer.>Tyranid patrol - Same thing, not in a rush since it should be around for a while even if I wanna paint up some more nids>Tsons Old Patrol - this one might be gone soon enough because they're not printing it anymore and Im lucky to find it in stock somewhere. >Second harlequin patrol - Go clown or go home (unlikely though, I'm not that huge on buying multiple boxes)>Just save your money and paint some plastic instead.
>>96853204>while marinefags are too insecure to have interactions that aren't empty attempts at bullying or autistic revenge fanfics.>insecureThe Tau fans should be thankful that Marines sell enough for GW to continue producing their dogshit models for them, since it's clear the Tau themselves are worthless.
>>96853231They're the 10th most popular faction

>>96851915Hey guys, it's once again time for the collage anchor posts. This months theme is "something spooky" and was left up to your own interpretation.As always I'll check the archive too but submitting your models in reply to my anchor posts is the best way to not be missed. I'll try to make a post every thread until the end of the month.Here is the link to the november vote:https://strawpoll.com/ajnE1PQ0BnW
>>96853231>marinefags are insecure >nuh-uh! Our mere existence should inspire your gratitude!

>>96853151Personally I just fucking hate psykers. You have psykers in your army I look down upon you. All fucking witches must fucking burn.>>96853231Q.E.D.
>>96853151>Imperium postersModel painters, game players and setting enjoyers>Tau posters"Hey I looove anime and this faction is the anime faction and water caste titties and all girl tau armies and buster swords and the tau are both the underdogs and are superior to the imperium in creed, technology, belief, government, genetically and literally everything"Custode posters would be the same - "underdogs" whose flaw is they're OP as fuck - if anyone here liked Custodes that wasn't a bot posting femarch pictures
>>96853151Taufags have marine level delusion when their lore states that their regular firewarrior is the equivalent of a rookie guardsmen.The issue is that a rookie guardsmen can go from a peasant conscript that has never seen a lasgun in his life, passing by some Mordian Iron Guard to some Cadian that fire a lasgun before he could walk to a Catachan that consider calling someone a Cadian an insult.So the spectrum of what a rookie guardsmen is super wide.But assuming GW meant a Cadian, you still have bullshit regiments like Catachan above them or more specialist ones like the Steel Legion or Elysian. So when people post dumb stuff like >>96853157 it does not help. It also does not help that the way Tau get victories by their opponents being retarded.For example Pask the guy that said he would never touch a Baneblade, shows up in Tau stories in one. Callidus Assassin that can fool aliens that can read other peoples mind, some how smelled wrong. Instead you know fail the usual way by fucking up some mannerism or missing some information.
marinefags itt (including me) do you run any xenos armies? if so who? deldar here. thinking of making a tau army also since i love the look of crysis suits
I'd like to take this time to remind everyone that Skarbrand has appeared in more Doujins than any female 40k character.I think this makes it clear which faction weebs are really into.
>>96853290>It also does not help that the way Tau get victories by their opponents being retarded.My guy, the Imperium being retarded is just canon. Several of their famous regiments use fucking Napoleonic tactics. You don't have to pretend that the Imperium is competent, a real Imperium fan would know that they aren't.

>>96853151A lot of Imperiumfags don't really like the premise of their own faction. They try to headcanon the Imperium into being this rational victorious force that's winning on all fronts, so in their minds if the Imperium ever loses it's because the other side just had plot armor. These people rarely if ever actually read their own lore and usually just go based on 'vibes' (though they'll ignore any 'bad vibes' such as Guilliman saying they're fucked).
>>96853302>broken horns not on the same side as his broken facehow do people miss the fact this guy fell face first from skull heavens?
>>96853342>sampleNo Eldar pussy for you, only for me.
>>96853309Anon, even other Imperial commander critic other imperial commanders for being retarded.One thing is using human wave tactics another all together is wasting the Emperor's currency.There is a big difference between grimdark and grimderp. Tau victories happen their enemies go full grimderp. Like the hard counter of Tyranids and Iron Warrior being fucking razor wire or Tyranids forgetting they have multiple burrowing creature to deal with little shits deep underground.Those are the kind of things I'm talking about. Imperium ramming zillion guardsmen into a Tau city is part of the setting. Imperium ramming said zillion guardsmen under the command of a guy known for not doing that when facing the Tau is just retarded.

Debating whether to just continue work on this from several years ago or just strip it and start fresh. You you stopped a project mid way through and improved significantly in the intervening time, would you start fresh or pick up where you left off and fix fuckups along the way?
>>96853394it's not even just the japs, I'm sure I've seen others miss it
>>96853356That just sounds like the Imperium being the Imperium. I don't understand why people don't get that the Imperium, an empire that has a bloated, incredibly inefficient bureaucracy, with numerous incompetent commanders, corrupt officials, and painfully outdated tactics, with paranoia running rampant, that literally has to have commissars to shoot soldiers to keep them from running away, who treat their weapons like religious spirits and rely on a literal cult for their maintenance....isn't always the best at handling situations in a rational and reasonable manner.Like, that's the whole point. Yeah no shit the Imperium isn't going to approach the problems pragmatically, we're talking about an empire that does pic related to someone for insulting or nobleman or stealing a loaf of bread.
>>96853342Yeah I've loved their aesthetic since I was a kid. I probably should've picked them as my second army instead to be honest. Well not like they're going anywhere and a lot of their shit got refreshed so it kinda works out anyway.

>>96853247>>96851939Replying for anon
>>96853412>84% of people do not understand what they readI'm not talking about the usual stupidity.I'm talking about guys known for not doing X suddenly doing X when facing Tau. For example when someone survives a Vindicare shot in a story is because they had some bullshit shield or something catch the bullet for meant for the target. Outright missed are not a thing.When a Vindicare faces a Tau, I would expect the Tau to survive due to some drone intercepting the shot or some shield tech, but nop, Vindicare fucking misses.Even ork suffer from this, getting dick over in melee by the Tau. Sure a couple of orks might not be an issue but a fucking swarm of them? As cool as AunShi is, that was stupid.
>>96853483Kind of pathetic that the Imperium is crumbling to ruins after only a myriad, really.
In case anyone is wondering, it is likely that the 40k reveals on this thing are not going to be heavy. As predicted by Valrak (beloved by all), it's likely to be the last 'narrative campaign' of 10th edition. It will include things like a new Haron Blackheart and Trazyn model.
>>96853247I've finished my Herald of Slaanesh for this month. Not that proud of her plus I suck at photos but o well.
>>96853509Well they didn't have infinite hand-me-downs from their superior progenitor race to coast off of like the eldar did
>>96853514That's literally the heaviest thing they could announce for 40k.They're not going to talk 11th edition until adepticon in March.
>>96853489I'd punch up clear. Allies are probably the only thing to surpass flyers in terms of damage done to the game.
>>96853517I like it. Looks like shes riding an aborted fetus or something.
>>96853520You mean the Imperium isn't powered by a Webway gate, a CTan shard, and the stolen gifts of four Chaos Gods and guided by an immortal race of perpetuals who shaped their evolution and technologies?
>>96853520What hand me downs? Aside from the webway they were basically fighting necrons with wfb armies and a superior magic phase.
>>96853151Some of us fine, we just stay out of the arguing and point our dudes at eachother on a shelf and go “ pew pew, boom, ahhhhhh.”
>>96853489Would Necrons really be more likely to ally with Orks and Chaos over Eldar?
>>96853535Thanks I guess. At the begining I wanted to go for a squig form Chernobyl but that fits. Also making a Rider a...humanoid centaur was taken from some lego figurine. Also Seeker Tounge.
>>96853565all eldar tech was given to them by their creators or looted from their creators abandoned empire after they got wiped out
>>96853568What legion of McDonalds is the marine from?
>>96853231you say this about every faction that isnt marines
>>96853573proofs?
>>96853151It's literally a couple shitposters arguing, at this point I instantly hide all powerlevel and xenos vs imperium posts
>>96853582That's because it's correct. You really think shit like Drukhari or Tau would still be around without Marines? Hell, 40k itself probably wouldn't be around.
>>96853582Honestly, it's surprising he doesn't say it about the less popular marine factions as well.
>>96853231The Horus Heresy fans should be thankful that 40k sells enough for GW to continue producing their dogshit models for them, since it's clear the firstborn Marines themselves are worthless.
>>96852847>spend a hundred years preparing a crusade to wipe out the tau after the high lords felt personally insulted by them>get bogged down at a world that isn't even their homeworld>after months of a stalemate, the crusade retreats because of a "negligible chance of victory"Sure the Tyranids had something to do with it, but it was still pretty embarrassing for the Imperium
>>96853343Really? Ithought of Imperium and /your dudes/ based on it to just do your own evil empire stuff. Like mine who are Commie Afghanistan/Technocracy on crack. All I will tell is that they have a ton of servitors.
>>96853489Necrons and chaos marines should be "Come the Apocalypse".Necrons abhor the Warp and the ones tainted by it.
>>96851990How do I make this grimdark
>>96853607Guess I'm psychic>>96853612
>>96853500>but nop, Vindicare fucking missesWhich specific instance are you referring to? Because the last time a vindicare took aim at an Ethereal it was stopped by a bodyguard in a suit moving in the path of the bullet IIRC.
>>96853568That tau mech lookin zesty.Killmeplease
>>96852629That the Imperium is so big that the average human must live a decent life on a decent world, maybe even a democracy! Completely ignores the existence of the tithe and also that the average human lives in a hive.
>>96853628Dark blue, damage, dust pouring out. Rust. I dunno study egyptian findings.
>>96852498I like that the Exorcists have this batshit training system to produce marines on the same level as the Ultramarines.
>>96853628like everything else - drown it in enamels/oils and gaslight yourself into believing it looks better than the classic approach
>>96853489Chaos Marines, Daemons and Orks are no longer Battle Brothers with themselvesI never understood>Necrons like CMarines and Tau>Orks HATE the Imperium but can fight alongside everyone else, especially spikey boys ???I can excuse DEldar working with the forces of Chaos, because they've been pretending to not be Slaanesh Cultists their entire existenceThe more I look at it the more I think every faction should work like tyranids and tyranids shouldn't even have a "come the apocalypse" option
>>96853520The Imperium had a ton of DAOT hand-me downs tbf, and the Great Crusade was basically on easy mode for the Emperor since he was able to conquer a bunch of individual worlds that hadn't had any chance to expand or grow with no ability to travel through the warp.That's the hilarious thing, the Imperium had things so much easier than every other race, and it STILL fucked it up.
>>96853607Let's hold our breaths for "Dark Angels/Blood Angels/Crimson Fists/Etc should be thankful for Ultamarines carrying the brand so they get models too" Probably won't be that long.
>>96853648What they also forget is that civilised world would be closer to Islamic Iran, 3rd reich, Stalins USSR to North Korea. Bassicaly a represive dictature Led by Bloody tyrants.
>>96852363The Tau and Craftworld Lugganath teamed up to take out a tyranid fleet, with the Eldar even inviting the Ethereal leader onto their ship. The Ethereal council even gives the leader his own fleet to do some secret mission, presumably having something to do with what the Eldar talked to him about. Just a codex blurb though.
>>96852007Its funny how Kheradruakh is weirdly hyped up in the lore whenever the Deldar get any, despite never having a model. Just some strange murderhobo who's weirdly prominent
Thoughts on using Razorbacks as a bunker for Devastators? Trying to figure out how to keep a lascannon squad alive so they can kill some shit.
>>96852326tau really are the only good guys in the setting.really cool.
>>96853676It's the obsession with democracy that confuses me, we've literally never seen a truly democratic Imperium world; in fact the only references to them mention they got purged for heresy. There's like some democracy but its limited, like on Necromunda. People forget that every planet is subject to the tithe and will also have the Arbites making sure the law is enforced. Sure not every planet a hive world, but it still won't be pleasant
>>96853628Have you tried painting them like bad weather?
>>96853666Deldar and Chaos is probably a reference to Bile working with the Haemonculi. Necrons have never worked with Chaos and Tau to my knowledge, only the Imperium and Eldar. I only know of Orks working with the Imperium as mercenaries, I'm not aware of any other faction being stupid enough to hire them
>>96853543What are you talking about?
Y33H4W
>>96853489>imperial factions: other imperial factions and votann >agents: on top of the above can get alien mercenaries (kroots, corsairs, harlequins, freebooters, kommandos)>chaos factions: other chaos factions and (corrupted) guard and admech, and can get tainted/merc aliens (genecults, dark eldar, orks)eldar: other eldarnecrons: none except maybe traitor admech xenaritestau: guard as guevesa, votann as demiurgs>genecults: tyranids and infiltrated guard, admech and kommandos>tyranids: genecults>votann: mercs (kroots, corsairs, freebooters, rogue traders)>orks: green is best
>>96853708Very few people who know about 40k actually read its lore, and even fewer people who have an Imperium faction will do so since it's the 'default' faction that lorelets circle around, so it's not uncommon for people to think the Imperium is basically just modern America or whatever.
>>96853247Repostan just in case
>Eldar / Deldar posters>Tau postersI'm starting to think this general is nothing but a bunch of coomers.
>>96853708>like on NecromundaAdjacent question, aren't necromunda House closer to in concept to our modern day countries?As in they have their own territories, laws, populations, productions, cultures, ethnics groups, etc
>>96853814Daily reminder that wanting to fuck aliens is a natural human desire and no Imperium can claim to be "of Man" unless it encourages it
>>96852125Well don’t post official art, that stuff is only slander by accident of how shit the artists are.
Sanguinius comes back but with an edgy makeover
>>96853840He'll just look like a juiced up Sanguinor but more gold.
>>96853151because imperiumfags, especially marine player, cant cope with the fact that the imperium ist constantly losing and thousands of worlds are lost every day, while almost none reclaimed.
>>96853831I like these types of fanarts for Darktide.Like where it's the whole squad fighting.
>>96853874too bad the game is ass.
Krieg is awesome. I won't tolerate Krieg slander. They're just out here defending the imperium with gasmasks, shovels, and ceramite plated balls.
>>96853909Hasn't been ass for like 2 years

>>96853918>spamming left click on mindless hordes of enemies>press an ability on like a 1 minute cooldown that knocks them back or some shit>do this for like 30 minutes each matchwhoa...
>>96853931filtered
>>96853922>"Hey son, I don't like the way you're doing things, so I'm going to BURN YOUR WORLD TO THE GROUND"....why was the Emperor so sociopathic? A fucking spanking and a timeout would've sufficed.
>>96853909It's good. Certainly better than most games out there.
>>96853931>>spamming left click on mindless hordes of enemiesUnlike in any other computer game where you don't use left click to kill the enemies?What do you do? Rebind your m1 to fucking L or something?
>>96853814"Where do you think we are?"We also have anons who bring up /pol/itics and why new changes are a good thing
The Tau will be the final nail in the coffin for the Imperium.They won't be much of a threat today.They won't be the highest priority threat in 1,000 years even.But, IF the Imperium survives Chaos, and the Tyranids, and the Necrons, and the Ork Waaghs, by the time they've finally finish dealing with all that, they'll have spent so much time distracted, 10,000 years of it likely, that the blueberries will have grown to have half of the galaxy and tech far surpassing what they can make.That is the threat. If the Imperium by some miracle survives everything else (and that's a BIG if) they are there so that they still lose in the end.
>>96853936To be fair, was the Emperor even necessarily right about not being a god? The Ecclesiarchy ended up being founded on Lorgar’s principles and is arguably the only thing keeping the Imperium running at this point.
>>96853814>I'm starting to think this general is nothing but a bunch of coomers.Coomers run this general. Always have.
>>96853948True, but somehow the gameloop is not fun. And I fucking loved shit like left4dead.Maybe my issue is that grinding for a weapon to make a build is not fun and things like 5% cooldown to sprint are not fun mechanics in my shoot and punch heretics games.The game is missing something but I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe it is a mix of thing and not just one thing that puts me off, but I want to like the game.
>>96853489"battle brothers" should almost not even existadmech/space marines/inquisition are liable to have a lot of tension with each otherpretty much the only imperium army that should be permanently happy about bringing allies would be the guard, and even the guard probably aren't fond of having to work alongside inquisitorsmeanwhile many of the other factions have tons of infightingdifferent tyranid hivefleets see each other as competition, not alliessame with different necron dynasties, different ork tribes, different legions of csm and flavors of daemonsgenestealer cults are biomass for tyranids, and only allies of convenience until thenthe eldar, tau, and probably leagues of votann would be the most willing to try to work with other factions, but most other factions won't be willing to work with them except in dire circumstances - they should probably also be the only factions that count themselves as battle brothers, everyone else being too paranoid or power-hungry to fully trust their own institutionsvotann and admech should nearly never work together, admech seeing their tech and robot boys as mega heretek shitit'd make for a much larger and more annoying chart to read but separating out subfactions (mostly in chaos and the imperium) would make for a clearer and more accurate picture
>>96853996I agree with all of this. We need more granularity in this game dammit.
>>96853915Go back
I want to say something to the Taufag but frankly Marinefags have been insufferable for the past six threads so maybe this is just the scales evening out.
>>96853980>Maybe my issue is that grinding for a weapon to make a build is not funThey've completely overhauled the crafting system you don't really need to grind for a weapon anymore.Either just pick a weapon and do some missions with it to get the mastery experience which lets you unlock all the blessings, or just buy bunch of grey weapons of the same type from the shop, upgrade all to green and then just sacrifice them at Hadron.You use the same type of weapon because it nets like 5x the XP and you get it over faster.
>>96853969>the empire that is shit at dealing with the warp will replace the imperiumThe Imperium cannot lose unless it blows up like the Eldar did or the rift grows, both of which involve more realspace becoming warpspace... which the tau can't deal with
10th has been a success if only for the fact that we've not seen one clear army running away with all the wins. It's been pretty diverse. I wouldn't mind seeing a troops tax come back into play but overall it's been better than 6th-9th.
>>96854044>unless it blows up like the Eldar didEven then, the Emperor becoming a God now would only benefit the Imperium.
>>96854044The Tau's schtick is progress and adaptability. They encountered Chaos, and initially had a hard time dealing with them, so they developed psyker corps and warp weapons to handle them.
>>96852493>Flatseer lmaoNigga, they so flat they wear male armor.Or are all traps.
>>96853840Khorne = symbioteSanguinius = Peter ParkerAngron = Eddie Brock
>>96854033>you don't really need to grind for a weapon anymore.>just buy bunch of grey weapons of the same type from the shop, upgrade all to greenThat is grind anon. Less than it was before, but grind non the less.
>>96854068>Angron = Eddie BrockSo he's destined to become the king of all reality?
Those new Ultramarines data sheets are the epitome of pay to win. Victrix are straight up broken, wtf. Yeah, they don't have invulnerable saves but -1 to wound with 4 wounds per model? wtf. They better cost a fucking fortune to field.
What do we think of this Current Tier list for 10th, not mine I just stole it offline.
>>96854058You used the wrong image this time with your low effort posts
>>96854103The people complaining about them not having invulns are hilarious with how fucking pushed the rest of that data sheet is. They have a fucking 2+ save for Christ's sake. How often are they going to be saving on worse than a 4 in cover or with free AoC anyway?
>>96854109This is not at all consistent with what the data supports.
FLAILS!!!!!!! I DEMAND THIS OF YOU, GW, GIVE ME FLAILS!!! I dont care what army, what setting, give me more flails to kitbash with.
>>96854119Orks are never the wrong image.
>>96854123My Sword Brethren weep.
>>96854058At least in older editions the Imperium did make new things.Example that come to mind are the Razorback and Landraider Crusader. With completely new things like the Macharius tank.Usually they call it discovery, but considering that if the Imperium makes the circuits in a funky way it can get possessed by demons the progress is slow as fuck.
>>96854103They cost 80 points per 3 while Cato costs 85 points. Don't remember the rest.
>>96853969Do you have tau models?
>>96851957>Post models.Waiting on the coloured plastic sheets to arrive so I can cut them up to look like shattered glass from stained glass windows but otherwise done with theseGod the image drained the life out of them
>>96854051>troops taxfuck off
>>96854074Before the grind was you playing for like 8+ hours and dozens of missions to get at least 3 million ordo dockets so you can get that one 380 with perfect dump stat.After that you then hoped to RNG-esus that Hadron didn't brick your weapon. Oh, and if you did get the right blessings but got wrong, perks then have rerolling the fucking perk on a slot machine for like an 1 hour straight without getting it.Now the grind you do is like>spam buy 40 grey weapons>find 1 with the perfect dump stat (it's mobility with 99% of weapons)>upgrade all to green>sacrifice all greens at HadronAnd I've timed this process and it takes like 10-15 minutes at maximum. And I did this shit manually without any macros or mods or any other bullshit.If you are genuinely trying to pretend that 15 minutes of minor "grind" is anywhere fucking comparable to the dogshit slot machine garbage with locked perks and blessings that was original crafting where you easily wasted like 12 hours of gaming time just to get 1 bricked fucking weapon.Then you clearly have not at all fucking played the game, during original crafting or after the crafting overhaul.
>>96854138WowThis art is offensively badEspecially the part where it's a "she"Try posting something 40K next time, mkay?
>>96854159Fair, more accurate to say their schtick is rapid innovation and growth.
>>96854178>15 minutes of minor "grind"Well yes. Just give me the thing that I want. I rather spend the time killing heretics than looking at menus.If I wanted to look at menus I'd play some 4x game.
>>96854196You don't like 40K.

>>96854207No u
>>96854211Why do you even come here?

>>96854219Because I like 40k. Simple as.
>>96854210>Play it my way or you hate your factionEvery reason to have to force people to buy generic troops died when 40K became a standing on objectives game.
>>96854249Bitch looks retarded
I don't understand the appeal of IG.Galaxy filled with warp fuckery. Fantasy races. Technology beyond comprehension. Post-human super soldiers."I wanna be the normal humans that die in droves."
>>96854247When was 40k not about objectives? If it wasn't that, it was just a race to see who can board wipe the other first.
>>96854259Sometimes a child arrives at the schola because her parents were veterans who died for the glory of Him on Terra, sometimes one arrives because her parents were well-to-do siblings and she would besmirch the family honour. Either way she can stil serve.
>>96854270Same reason people fawn over the Russian army during WW2, or the Chinese army during the Korean war. There's something to be said for human-wave tactics.
>>96854259That means she has less room for her own thoughts and makes her a more devoted servant of the emperor

>Why can't my traitorous brothers just settle for doing their duty?
>>96854058>so they developed psyker corps and warp weaponsIs that from the Nu lore? Because till 5th I do not remember the Tau having that. At best some psyker aux, but they still got turbo fucked by warp shenanigans. That was one of the big problems the Tau had during the Damocles crusade. Psykers doing psyker things. Like in Void combat, the Tau still have issue with the Imperium simply showing up in their territory. As a side note the Imperium even capture and control Tau space stations. Which implies that Tau tech just looks advance because even the crusading retards of the damocles crusade could figure out how to operate a Tau space station.
>>96854309Yes this is all fairly new stuff, post-4th Sphere IIRC.>As a side note the Imperium even capture and control Tau space stations. Which implies that Tau tech just looks advance because even the crusading retards of the damocles crusade could figure out how to operate a Tau space station.That doesn't really follow. You don't need to know how something works to capture it. That's like saying the Imperium understands how the Blackstone Fortresses work because they captured a few.
Hey peeps, what are you working on?

>>96854325
>>96853570Considering Eldar were made to literally destroy Necrons... yes.So were Orks ancestors but Orks have devolved to the point they're easily manipulated by Necron Lords.
>>96854351I'm not so sure. They don't seem to hate the Eldar and were unwilling to continue the war and wipe them out like they did the Old Ones. Well at least the Silent King was unwilling.
>>96852629why cant both be true?
>>96854321They where using the space station to launch their attacks on the planet bellow. Also I didn't say they understood, simply said they could operate them.It also shows that Imperium are not complete retards they will use xenos crap if it is useful, reason why modern 40k stories that go REEEEE XENO BURN! just feel off.The Imperium is retarded, but only till midday.
God it is hard to be a Chaos-enjoyer when you see the bullshit toys that Loyalists get. It's enough to cause a 10,000 year old grudge.
>>96853840I wouldn't hate this
>>96854364Would you be mad at the gun or at the guy that shot you?In this case the Eldar are the gun. With the Old Ones dead, there is little reason to be mad at the Eldar since they are just tools.
>>96854370It would be most accurate to say that the Imperium's fate is a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.The Imperium of today is very much beset on all sides by enemies, doomed to an inevitable slow decline, all the while throwing their people into the meat grinder because it's the only thing they can do to slow down their extinction......but this is only because they awoke the Necrons, brought the Tyranids into the galaxy, empowered the Orks, and pushed all the friendly xenos into the arms of the Tau. Regardless, they can't do anything to fix it now, so they pretty much have to be the way they are with no way to reverse course.
>>96854383That's what I'm saying.
>>96854400My bad responded to the wrong post was meant for the other guy >>96854351
>>96854400Yea but the Eldar have a built in-terror of all things Necron and still hate the Necrons too much to ever want to work with them.
>>96853840That's not REAL edge!
>>96854406Aren't they just scared of the Nightbringer? And that was the REAL Nightbringer and not a captive shard so this was before the Necrons rebelled against the C'tan.

Why isn't there a real death God in 40k? Seems like there's three or four gods adjacent to the concept but not quite fully embodying it.
>>96854394>pushed all the friendly xenos into the arms of the TauThat one is not actually true. When humanity had their star trek federation period of being friends with everyone and it shit the bed. The alien went into backstabbing as soon they so blood in the water.The xeno hating is justify because when humanity was friend and needed help the first thing they did was shank it.>brought the Tyranids into the galaxyCorrect me if I'm wrong but tyranids have been dicking around the galaxy way before the Astronomicon was even a thing. Otherwise how the fuck do you explain the Tyranids organism dicking around in random planets way before the nids even showed up.
what do you think of my list, anon?
>>96854394>...but this is only because they awoke the Necrons, brought the Tyranids into the galaxy, empowered the Orks, and pushed all the friendly xenos into the arms of the Tau.I, too, love making up shit.

>>96852629And meanwhile you got Rick Priestly saying this.
>>96853915>gasmasks, shovels, andi hate you half-baked krieg faggots so much. They utilize shits tons of armor, and especially artillery. They dropped arty on a rebelling hive city for 5 years, and when the city finally surrendered, they dropped arty on it for another 2 years. But hey keep thinking its nothing but muh-shovels, happy gasmask noises, and suicide charges.
>>96854437>When humanity had their star trek federation period of being friends with everyone and it shit the bed. The alien went into backstabbing as soon they so blood in the water.There is no actual shred evidence of this however.It is quite literally fanfiction made up by the fanbase to try make Imperium seem justified when it isn't.
>>96854438Draw the dark commune girls kissing
Are Chaos Marines a credible threat? They can't seem to get their shit together. They're fucking Megatron and Starscream; too busy backstabbing to accomplish a goal.
>>96853915>>96854468Kiss him already, jeez.
>>96854473>Are Chaos Marines a credible threat?Not without Tau levels of plot armor.Ignoring the fanfiction that happen after 5th. How the fuck is Chaos Space marine be a credible threat when they are trapped in the eye of terror with their only secured exit right into a fortress world.They had less territory than the fucking Tau.The threat comes from the corruption not their armies.
>>96854437>>brought the Tyranids into the galaxy>Correct me if I'm wrong but tyranids have been dicking around the galaxy way before the Astronomicon was even a thing. Otherwise how the fuck do you explain the Tyranids organism dicking around in random planets way before the nids even showed up.It's pretty much been confirmed that the activation of the Pharos beacon during the HH is what alerted the tyranids about the milkyway.Also some of the other hivefleets that appeared before the official "first contact" on Tyran, have been speculated to just be hiveships/fleets that happened to be more closer to the galaxy and they got into milkyway ahead of the others
>>96854305>settle for doing their dutyYour duty was to die in droves and to be betrayed and tossed aside when your usefulness had reached its limit. Emperor liedTrillions died
>>96854437>When humanity had their star trek federation period of being friends with everyone and it shit the bed. The alien went into backstabbing as soon they so blood in the water.This actually isn't true.Humanity had conquered a lot of alien races during their DAoT period, and a lot of the 'backstabbing' just ended up being aliens reconquering what was lost. And even after the Men of Iron rebellion, many xenos continued to help and shelter humans, but the Imperium exterminated them all the same, and the humans who had lived peacefully with them.>Correct me if I'm wrong but tyranids have been dicking around the galaxy way before the Astronomicon was even a thingNot sure about that, but the lore does say that the Imperium attracted the Tyranids to the galaxy when they overloaded the Pharos Beacon.
>>96854438the desire to put leaders on all your units are understandable and kino, but know that you are paying a lot of points for units that will likely accomplish zero.
>>96854499>HH fanfictionIgnored
army for this feel?
>>96854505You mean the Apostles on the Cultist Mobs, right?Yeah, I agree they’re probably useless. But they’re a cornerstone of the “Preacher Word Bearer leading cultists into battle” flavor.Any other leaders you’d think are useless?
>>96854465Eh, he's wrong.
>>96854499>Pharos
>>96854529Leaders are a force multiplier. You really need a good reason to take them. One I think you can make an argument floor, and you can fluff it as hes leading all the cultists in spirit. Leaders on elite damage dealers is always better because you are force multiplying actual damage dealers.
>>96854437>Correct me if I'm wrong but tyranids have been dicking around the galaxy way before the Astronomicon was even a thing. Otherwise how the fuck do you explain the Tyranids organism dicking around in random planets way before the nids even showed up.Sure thing, Locard, now lets get you to bed.
>>96854325TELL ME NOW
>>96854497Give war a chance.
>>96854556>Inquisitor AngmarLove that guy.
>>96854556Here we can see Inquisitor Angmar. Totally a normal human.
>>96854546Very good arguments.Would you recommend dropping the Apostles entirely? Any replacement suggestions?
Is the Emperor a sort of war god himself?Because, when you think about it, the Emperor, the Imperium, and all of his Primarchs...none of them were good at anything that wasn't related to war in some way. Oh sure, Vulkan could smith a nice warhammer (40,000 of them, even), and Dorn could build a good fortification, but none of them could build an innovative, prosperous civilization. The best they could achieve was smog-ridden little rats nests, little more than a hive for war foundries. They could build a machine of war, but not a civilization, which would indicate that every aspect off the Emperor was, ultimately, aimed to that end.
>>96854600lorelet
>>96854600Emperor is the god of r/atheism
>>96854499At this point Pharos is just a supposition. It’s perfectly possible that the Silent King led the Tyranids to the galaxy as well.
>>96854522tau ofc
>>96854626That would seem unlikely given the source of that claim (and given the SK came back to warn the galaxy of the Tyranids)
I really wish I bought that combat patrol for demons now. Or even the start collecting. I feel like a fool now
So I get that the Necrons are essentially to the Imperium what the Imperium is to the Tau, but does that hold true for the Dark Eldar too? Like, does the Imperium really pose any threat to the Dark Eldar? IIRC Commorough is basically a Solar-System sized city. And even the Eldar have some pretty potent superweapons even to this day.
>>96854600>Autistic weeaboo yapping
Why don't TS, DG or EC have a Lord Invocatus of their own?
>>96854680The last time there was a significant invasion of Commoragh by the Imperium was by the Salamanders back in like 33k, and it was orchestrated by Vect to take out his rivals so he could rise to power. Chaos has been the bigger issue for Commoragh in terms of invasions.
>>96854600Listen. Just because someone refers to the Emperor as a weapon in the newest BL book doesn’t mean that shit is true, man.
>>96854699Because they suck.
>>96854670Gotta get when the getting is good.So long as it isn't going to sit in a pile of shame for years.
>>96854699Why don't they have a HAARKEN WORLDCLAIMER?
>>96854699>TSIts debatable whether big titty man himself is exactly that. >DGThey probably do but im too assed to look for it > ECWho fucking cares
>>96854497>Your duty was to die in droves and to be betrayed and tossed aside when your usefulness had reached its limit.and I accept it.
>>96854723Bruh look at what EC & WE have to (not) work with>no biker HQs>no jump pack HQs>no terminator HQs>no dark apostle HQs>no warpsmith HQs
>>96854740Well I dont, eat shit
>>96854707Maybe not...but if that's the case why is war the only thing the Imperium seems to excel at?
>>96854680Dark Eldar have an infinite labyrinth but they have to keep segmenting it and closing off portions of it to keep constant invasions out of their city. They have Necrons invading from Dolmen Gates, Tyranids invading from their captured moon they arrogantly brought on as a zoo, Orks pushing in through gates in the under city, the Imperium elites investigating Webway spars, demons pouring in from Khaine's Gate, and Abbadon and Vashtorr tunneling in via Wormwood.

>>9685483630 wracks seems like a lot. Are they that necessary? I was only really planning on getting a combat patrol, so 10.
>>96854891Nta but 30 is only worth it if you're running full covens
I want to do 2 units of eliminators because I like snipers. I also have the vindicare that I'm throwing into the listDo I double las, double bolt or a mix?
>>96854856>cadia gone >cicatrix maledictum rips galaxy in halfprimarchs aint shit, the imperium is canonically doomed
I asked what units I need to fill out my drukhari army and I remember people were saying I needed >2 x raiders>2 x venomsand 2 x of another thing but I dont remember what the third was?
>>96854911las are better but bolt rifles can make people unreasonably scared for their characters. variety is the spice of life.
>>96854897>>96854836And this is what I do. I don't care about meta, I am not gay, I play for fun.

>>96854913>the imperium is canonically doomedUntil it's not.
>>96853124It's good for me to read replies this. Replies so far beyond the point of reason, so obvious in their nature that the poster read one and a half sentences and stopped, that only someone who will need assistance dressing themselves for their entire life could have written them. It's good for me to see these abd be reminded that there's essentially no reason to read anything and just scroll through to see if anyone posted models.You know this used to be a hobby? Now you google or search YouTube for "Warhammer 40k" and get endless streams of steaming "lore" shit, with some half shaven sasquatch talking over artdone by toddlers who have never touched a paintbrush. Now this franchise is a fucking book club for a bunch of idiots who can't read. For clarity, the tens of thousands of Tau referred to in the passage were Tau present at the engagement, and was not intended to number the Tau as a race. I hope that makes sense to you.

>>96855033ribbed for her pleasure.
Man I kinda wanna buy a voidraven just cause its a sick model, even though it apparently sucks ingame now.
>>96855041That's all flyers unfortunately. I would get one before they are gone, GW hates flyers and all will be squatted eventually and its a fun kit to build.
>>96855041Will you assemble it and paint it within a month of getting it? If so, just do it. It's musical chairs balance, it'll all be different in 3 months.
>>968549342x Scourges with Heavy weapons, 1x Mandrakes, and 1 venom go in every list. Probably Malys right now too.
Is there any difference between the old and the new "hand of the archon" kill team?For some reason this one website has both in stock, but the old is cheaper by like 10 euro.
>>96854975Its gone. And I want to mess around with blood letters.
>>96855059It's just as likely 11e is Flyer Central to sell back stock, followed by massive nerfs.
>>96855069There has only ever been one Hand of the Archon, I think. Although they might be selling a box without all the Kill-Team data cards or something.
>>96855085No, not at all. This is not balance rodeo, this is soft-squatting before actual squatting. GW does not want aircraft in the game, they are bad for long term game health and unless 50% of the dev team is swapped out in the next 6 months (highly unlikely) aircraft will never make a come back.

Help a borderline colorblind guy out. What color is this?
>>96855169Dark purple
>>96855169looks like burgundy to me
>>96855121You could be right, but you've got a lot more confidence in them than I do. I don't really think they care about the long term health of the game, especially when yo-yo the state of the game lets them save the players from their own bad rules and pretend to be the good guys. Ever since the 80's the goal has always been to sell models.
>>96855132What scale and do you have a base for it?
>>96855173>>96855181Thank you!
>>96855169It's a slightly more desaturated red version of reikland.

Every time I come to this thread I am thankful the spergers was bullied out of me so I didn't become like decalfag.
What is your headcanon on the origins of the Tyranids? Were Tyranids the result of a xenos bioweapon developed from another galaxy? Or perhaps a species that originated naturally in another galaxy, which just happened to evolve into the apex organism over many eons and spread out from its home galaxy?
>>96855280Something The Outsider cooked up.

>>96855305All this Ultrachad seethe makes me want to paint my space marines as Ultramarines. I was kinda set on Templars or Angels but maybe...
>>96855305I chuckled
>>96855305Rent free.
>>96855318Most of our paint anons are redditors btw
>>96855329Nope!
>put a vehicle, a character, and a pair of dice in the cart>Same price as a full on combat patrolMan this shit is fucking expensive god damn.
>>96855318We know decalcunt is a redditor already, he proudly boasted of it
>>96855339Yeah that's why you should collect using battleforces, combat patrols and other discount boxes.
>>96855318People can be on both sites
>>96855329as long as they dont act like redditors here I don't give a fuck, this site is dying anyway
>>96852484Nice anon I like it!
>>96855358No combat patrol has drazhar in it unfortunately. Actually I found the blood of the phoenix on a website but idk if I should. Just the drukhari stuff adds up to 180 (price of the box) so all the eldar and book stuff would be free.But I have no desires to play eldar so the other stuff would need to be kitbashed or proxied.
>>96855340Right but we haven't seen any of those models before, it's just someone skinwalking as fecalfag
>>96855372compared to forums, the 40kg is poppingDakkadakka is so slow
>>96855390Imagine if decalfag never actually existed, he's just some random guy on reddit posting his wolves and sharing his art with people and some leech has just been using his posts this whole time to shitpost these threads and the real guy who owns the models never even crossed his mind.
>>96855396delete this
>>96855394forums are pretty much all dead at this point so that's not saying much honestly
>>96855396he posted timestampsso unfortunately we're plagued with a genuine retard
>>96855396nah, he posted a timestamp once or twice
>>96855404reddit is making billions of dolars each year, this site is probably making less but still a lot
>>96855396He posted timestamps so we know that's not true but it would be nice
>>96855409>>96855412did he? when? Should be easy to find then no?
>>96855396Some here save photos and use them in responses. I know that Steel legion guy has called out people for using his photos. Sallyfag and decalfag have trolls that repost their photos in responses. At least sallyfag plays the game and paints frequently.
>>96855419>when?sometime last month>Should be easy to find then no?You can go fuck yourself if you think I'm gonna go trawl the archive of the last 40 threads to find it lmao
>>96855419You should stop digging.
>>96855419Why would you assume it's easy to find. He posts like 20 times a day with new filenames. If it's easy to find, you go find it
>>96855415they were still using moots servers before the sharty hack, I really dont think this site is very profitable
>>96855420someone used my model for an anchor post once, it felt pretty nice actually
>>96855421>>96855423>>96855424Youd think at least one other person would have saved the images as proof of existence but i guess not.
>>96855445>save these dogshit models just in case some retard weeks later asksfuck off faggot
>>96855419Herehttps://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96763564/#q96766267
>>96855280Naturally evolving biologic spaceships seems like a bit of a leap? Depends on how animalistic the hive mind really is. Would the intelligence and drive to make itself into space ships evolve under natural evolutionary pressures alone? How would it know to go off world to find more life that isn't itself?
>>96855472god that furry mask is ugly. its like something you'd see on a made in china piece of garbage decoration for wine moms at winners.
>>96855515was about to say something similar. the castigator has the best helmet of all of the knights and he replaces it with 3d printed garbage. never mind how lazily painted the rest of the model is
>>96855472damn I was really hoping, thanks for smacking my ass anon.
>>96855533Looks like me when I was a teenager and had allergies so bad I couldn't sleep.
Reading the lore I get the sense that Admech is more powerful than I had thought. Apparently they just keep a lot of the best stuff for themselves and are also insane. It makes it easier to see how Cawl captured his necron gf
>>96855169Targor Rageshade is unironically one of my favourite paints and one of the only GW paints I use. It's such a unique colour because it's like this weird combo of red, purple and brown. It's "cleaner" and "cooler" than a brown wash while also being "warmer" than a black wash. Looks great over metals.
>>96855611Its also great for rocks and works well like a nulnoil adjacent for reds and whites.
>>96855561>>96855533>>96855515I personally think they look awesome
>>96855638put the trip back on
>>96855648fuck off bitch
Mathematically whats the general threshold for Sustained being preferable over Lethal? When I'll be wounding at 3+?
>>96855565Cawl is using DAoT tech but actual more advanced Necron tech is still beyond him.Many Necrons are also insane/broken so capturing one might not be such a big feat and not every Cryptek is equal.
>>96855472This is clearly AI generated.
I hope next thread is more chaotic.
>>96855731>I hope next thread is more chaotic.*idiotic
>>96855677its weapon dependent, not as simple as 3+
>>96855677instead of thinking "whats the best in general" think of it in terms of specific weapons and targets. Its better to just number crunch it yourself in a number cruncher against the most common targets of that squad. (you dont need to know how good dark pacts is at buffing cultists versus a ctan for example)
>>96855764>>96855835It just stands to reason that generally auto-passing wounds is obviously better when you're going to be struggling to pass the wound roll and more hits is better when you already have a strong chance of it, I don't know how factors beside that would affect the choice more, besides of course a weapon already having one of those
Any recent games brothers?
