>tfw your faction is so strong that you are to the Imperium what the Imperium is to the Tau>tfw the naive little apes still think they have a chance and try to invade your territory>tfw they get BTFO'd with barely any effort on your part
>>96893120idk how to freehand at all
Let Chaos idols take this thread!
>>96893150How's your Imhotek Heresy going? Your Emperor winning that one or still getting folded like a bitch?
>>96893153Well, what are you doing about it? Have you been practicing?
>>96893150that's fanfiction, actual canon says the necrons acknowledge the fact they have no hope of possibly prevailing against the imperium because they're too fractured and the long sleep has taken a toll too heavy on their infrastructure and coordinationtheir only hope is for all of them to awaken and doing so united under a single leadership, but they can't do that
>>96893120>TQI give myself a C-
>>96893120I fucking despise this artist's art.Both his art style and his anatomy fucking suck, like ignoring the obvious pin head, even Abaddon's face in this looks fucking god awful. Even the perspectives look all sorts of whack and sometimes make no sense.
>>96893209Solid b in my eyes anon
>>96893206There are millions of Necrons and Necrons are as numerous as the Imperium in manpower, and unlike the Imperium, there's no such thing as a Necron 'civilian', they're all soldiers. The Imperium doesn't stand a chance despite your headcanon.
>>96893233>There are millions of Necron*Necron tombworlds
>>96893209You've been getting better at those, I particularly like the one with the tree. When I painted picrel I used some of your older models as reference and I couldn't make out that the coal in the middle was supposed to be a heart.
>>96893209Looks good, you did well on the green.The free hand is pretty rough but it is what it is. You'll get better at it, you just need to do it more often to hone the skill.You could always try painting on regular paper or something to get better at the fine control.
>>96893182>>96893202Which ever of you is alpha legionnaire can you make like your primarch and fucking die.
>>96893233>and Necrons are as numerous as the Imperium in manpowerno, they aren't, that's more fanfiction, at most they have a similar number of worlds, but nowhere close to the imperium's numbersremember, all necrons that exist are the population of their ONE single homeworld the old ones pushed them back onto after the first war in heaven
>>96893233>Necrons are as numerous as the Imperium in manpowerProofs?
>>96893248I usually practice on a plastic spoon. It’s been primed over and painted like a million times at this point. My hope is to one day do a tasteful tiny Bob Ross style landscape on a pauldron or something.
>>96893120I like freehand I wish I had more opportunities to do it.
>>96893120Guys where can I find BT datasheets
>>96893247High praise coming from you saying they’re improved. Thanks.
Warhammer Horror was a thing.
Who /kin/ here?
>>96893256>>96893253>"So far, but the barest fraction of Necron tomb worlds have roused to terrible life, but with every passing year the number grows. Each time a Necron planet is restored a cascade is triggered, and the dormant tomb worlds of nearby systems will soon follow. Vast solar empires are carved anew from the burning civilisations and fallen armies of the Necrons’ enemies. Piece by piece, the fragments of the dynastic domains are being drawn together, seditious Overlords and vengeful phaerons searing the stars clean for the return of their kingdoms.">"What the Imperium cannot know is that, should the Necrons ever fully wake and unite, they would face a foe as numerous as themselves. For now, the galaxy has had but a taste of the dynasties’ destructive potential, and it is fortunate for their foes that the Necrons remain divided by madness and conflicting agendas. However, these are but the first stumbling steps of a giant as it gathers pace, and even now powerful leaders like Anrakyr the Traveller, Imotekh the Stormlord and the Silent King are uniting their people under a common cause."
>>96893206>no hope of prevailing against the imperiumLiterally every faction, except elves lmao, will prevail against the imperium.
>>96893301>What the Imperium cannot know is that, should the Necrons ever fully wake and unite, they would face a foe as numerous as themselves.They say this about Orks as well, so all the imperium needs to do is wait around until the Orks get their gene coded "fight crons" switch flipped and everything will be all good and dandy.The status quo will stay, your gay power levelling will be meaningless.
>>96893301I choose to interpret that as number of worlds, or number of warriors compared to imperial soldiers, not that there are as many sleeping necrons as there are the total amount of humans in the galaxy after counting hive worlds populations as well.
>>96893309Based Eldar, Dark Eldar, and clowns
>>96893309only if the imperium is divided or preoccupied on too many fronts
>>96893309If the Eldar species as a whole coordinated together they would still be a match for the Imperium. But they are even more disjointed and at a odds with themselves than even the Necrons.
>>96893004new bread?
Neophytes ready to serve.Also a Canoness
>>96893120>TQI'm not much of an artist so the only freehanding I ever do is cog patterns on the hoods of my admech guys
The Berzerker Surgeon leak tentatively seems to line up with the Rumor Engine of what’s obviously a Chaos Apothecary, but the image is too shit to judge for certain (I’m leaning towards fake though)
>>96893368You're in it.
Tau concubines
>>96893286Wasn’t it mostly for Aos
>>96893389Berzerker surgeon is what GW is gonna show off on the 8th/9th of november.
Cross-posting>Agri-WorldThe custom IG regiment I'm working on is from an Agri-world. They're inspired by WW2 France and other small countries. Being an Agri-world they're big on food, fielding a lot of abhuman auxilia (mainly Ratlings, Ogryns and Squats).They're a small regiment, so much so that they only have one super-heavy/baneblade which is quite the celebrity.I want them to be sort of "clueless" to the wider galaxy, they're clean and almost elegant, "hopeful" even.>Xenos? Oh we've seen plenty of Xenos, my good Monsieur.>We've seen Orks, quite strong they are, fiesty lot.>We've seen bigger Orks, "Nobz" they call them, yes Monsieur>And bigger ones yet, huge ones, quite the beasts!>How come? "Other Xenos?" Well yes Monsieur, you are correct!>Around the Orks crawl and tinker small ones, "Grots" they're named, cowardly but do not be fooled my good Monsieur, clever these ones are.>They even have their own, smaller "Grots", it's quite the handful.>May I ask again, Monsieur? "Tyranics"? "Nocronnes"? Can't say we've seen those ones here, but nothing our brave men can't handle, am I not correct, camarades? *Cheering and laughing from the lads*>Bring' em to us, my good Monsieur, we'll give them a tussle to remember!No name yet, currently "Proud Clairons" a placeholder.Thank you for reading my blog.
>>96893395I think it was pretty close to 50/50
>>96893353Don't see why there wouldn't be. There are millions of tomb worlds, which means there's, likely mililions more tombworlds than there are Imperial worlds.>"These tomb worlds represent no more than a handful of the many millions spread throughout the galaxy."The Imperium was ultimately just a big fish in a little pond. They only look big and powerful compared to the Tau and Eldar, the major players see them as the minor sideshow they are.
>>96893395>>96893416>>96893286I sincerely think those stories must have sold a lot worse because of the specific 'Warhammer Horror' branding that was used instead of any 40k/AoS branding so you couldn't tell which fucking setting any given book was. Sometimes you could tell if the cover had some clear sci fi or 40k elements, but most were abstract horror stuff or vague gothic stuff that could go either way.
>>96893389>>96893407It's fake
I hope you liked my autistic little puppet show last thread. Sorry again for hogging all the images. I'll have some kino new acquisitions to show tomorrow as penance.
>>96893478We really don’t mind. It was fun. Thank you purple man.
>>96893478better content than 90% of the usual posting, I wouldn't worry about it
>>96893478I picked up some things you would love but I left them at a friends houseIm always happy to see your stuff
>>96893478>I hope you liked my autistic little puppet show last thread.'twas fucking great>Sorry again for hogging all the imagesDo it again, you devil> I'll have some kino new acquisitions to show tomorrow as penance.YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
>>96893368ask him again, I doubt he's checking dead thread replies for his name
>>96893120>FreehandI'm literal F Tier.It looks like an elementary student tried to sketch something whenever I try it.
>>96893478For some reason I picture a guy being over apologetic about his sex performance, feeling it is inappropriate, while the woman is plain confused since she got the fucking of a life-time>Oh darling I am so sorry, I shouldn't have treated you so roughly...>Wtf demolish me again anytime please???
>>96893326The way it goes is:Necrons > Power gap > Tyranids > Imperium > Drukhari > Power gap > Tau > Orks > Eldar
>>96893551Why is he dressing up like a slutty rubric marine?
>>96893563knowing the artist, it's slutty on purpose.
Guys should I play blood angels or black templarsI can't decide
>>96893583do you like footslogging melee swarms or jump pack melee swarms
>>96893583>red marines>black marineswow what a dilemma
>>96893583Bangles got ass cannons
>>96893583angelic templars
>>96893590Well, I do like the jump packs more than using transports, but in the current ed jump packs are majorly worse for not being able to attach a sanguinary priest or lieutenant, or even a BA captain. I guess that could change in the next ed, or it could not>>96893591Two different codexes btw each of which likely have more effort put into them than whatever xeno scum you play>>96893592Don't care for it >>96893598You know, I could put a bunch of iron crosses on a homebrew BA list and add jucidiars
>>96893461Honestly probably the case. I’m looking at this and i still can’t fathom why it has a warhammer logo on it. Looks like a shitty fiction book you’d fine for women.
>>96893592Wrong game.
>>96893620It was comfy tbqh.
>>96893626Proxy as suppressors
>>96893217lol no
>>96893592>fires gun for 0.5 seconds>falls over backwards
>>96893592>>96893634>it's fine when HH does it
>>96893641only the miniature is in resin, not the actual marine
>>96893641That's not how physics work1) Equal and opposite reaction2) Center of gravity over baseDoes the first affects the second?
>>96893657HH did it betterSuppressors never got a standalone release.Still insane fact that these are the only primaris in MkX Omnis.No it's not tacticus.
>>96893478Beats the fuck out of the regular zero effort twitter-level shitposting.
O&T anon, care to share some of your models?
>>96893681No, fuck off.
>>96893671omnis is just phobos with a few addons
>>96893684trying too hard
>>96893671it's tacticus in stirrups, just like the other hover marines are gravis in stirrups
>>96893685No, look at the legs and pauldrons: not phobos.>>96893705Pretty much only the arms and pauldrons are the same as tacticus, it's actually very different.
>>96893716>No, look at the legs and pauldronsThose are the addonsit's just phobos±, which is why it was sold in the box of phobos shit
>>96893551Are Drukhari actually more powerful than the Craftworld Eldar? They're more malevolent, sure, but they lack psykers and forward operating bases.
So Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield, or a pair of Lightning Claws. Why not a shield and a claw? Why not a claw and a Storm Bolter?
>>96893736Aren’t the new terminators just an upgrade kit? They can stick the leftover bits to the non etb variant right? Why the fuck did they even bother making a whole new mold for it? Is gw fucking retarded? I should get James pregnant with my child.
>>96893736assemble them however you want, nobody cares, those configurations weren't put in rules because 40k is a patchwork with little cohesive vision and not enough depth to make all loadouts interesting
>>96893730How can it be phobos when it has none of the phobos-specific parts?I'm not looking for a yes-no-yes-no shitshow
>>96893743>aren't they an upgrade kitNo, poses are different and the assault termies don't all have the basic aquila, 2 have eagles and the sarge has laurels on top, with added groin protection.I was gonna say "I don't understand why GW keeps removing details and elements for the remakes", but I actually know why.
>>96893735They have quadrillions of clonable soldiers all packed into a solar-system sized city in the webway and a lot of super-tech that allows them to do shit like steal people's suns.While the Craftworld Eldar do have their advantages, it's notable that they're usually portrayed as slowly dying, while the Drukhari don't seem to have that problem.
>>96893736>Why not
>DrukhariThey're Dark Eldar. Stop using their slave name.
Couldn't termies mix Bang-Bang and Slice-Bonk in the same unit?
>>96893716Apart from the lower legs being modified it's tacticus shit on the universal mk x armour, with a terrible looking jump pack..
>>96893768Dark Eldar are constrained by Skaven-esque behavior. Not saying they'd be a galactic threat but they could probably accomplish a hell of a lot more if they weren't so preoccupied with emotion harvesting and shanking each other
>>96893779No it's illegal apparently
>>96893779Back in 2nd edition. After that it became the specialty of Dark Angels and Space Wolves.
All factions can reproduce except necrons. Therefore necrons are the weakest
>>96893779That'd be over powered!Think of the meta, anon! The meta!
>>96893789The lower legs are obvious, so is the helmet.The thighs can also feature a screen (likely inspired by pilot suits incorporating maps into the pants)The chest/abdomen/body looks identical to tacticus BUT lacks the gorgetThe knees don't have "fins" (or whatever they're called)The backpack is different, ugly/weird, but different.Omnis is the "medium" flight version (tacticus being the "medium" armor).
>>96893735Basically this >>96893792If you could manage to unite all the Dark Eldar they could potentially be a threat to the Imperium itself and they would absolutely punch in the big leagues. But they will absolutely never do that.
>>96893792Isn't that pretty much everybody in the setting except for the Tau, Tyranids, Eldar? The Imperium, Chaos, Orks, Necrons, and Drukhari are all weakened by their constant infighting.
>>96893551>Orks > EldarMissing another power gap here.
>>96893803>Think of the meta, anon! The meta!I think termies should have multi-metas, even heavy bolers
>>96893751>How can it be phobos when it has none of the phobos-specific parts?Same way a dragon that looks like a dragon is still a dragon and is not a wyvern, phylogeny
>>96893822
>>96893812Yes but there are degrees of that. You can generally expect that if you have an Ork Waagh, a Chaos dark crusade, a Necron dinasty or an Imperial crusade at war it's going to act as an united front. Sure it they might be vulnerable to leadership disruption causing infighting, and some elements of it might ignore orders to do their own things, but with a Dark Eldar force you have to assume that everyone there want to fuck over everyone else on their side at least as much as they want to actually win the war, often more.
>>96893812I'd say it's a bit different for DEldar who have to plan for a battle while also making 3 other plans to account for the sabotage by your peers because one of underlings is leaking the details But that plan was actually a ruse to find out who the spies are so you can make the actual plan.And then you get to barter for the services of each component of the plan because no one works for free
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
What are your plans for the collage this time round?This month it's a unit that can fly/hover. Jetpacks included.
>>96893846God damn DEldar feel like they were written by women.Or Alexandre Dumas.
>>96893874Who the fuck is women?
>>96893870This gives me a nice excuse to paint Ahriman so I'll be doing that.
>>96893870These guys. But I've been eyeing some old 2nd edition storm boyz too. If I get them I'll do them for the collage 100%
>>96893551>dark eldar and tyranids>on the same power level as the imperium>eldar are weaker than the deldarThis is a very womanbrained take
>>96893881Ahriman doesn't fly silly. The disc flies.
>>96893899I'll paint just the disc then I guess
>>96893870I picked up a celestine for cheap because It was missing the cherub cloak thing but I already got one of those in a bulk lot of metal sisters backpacks.I want to put my soul into painting this, have it be the best thing I have done.Im not so sure on how it will turn out
>>96893903That's the spiritThen you can do Ahriman for fun and include him in the picture
>>96893870Does invocatus count
>>96893899Ahriman flies if you're dyslexic
>>96893862I thought it was impossible to make DE look gayer but your crappy ritualposts prove me wrong almost every time. The artstyle just screams nonce and/or gay.
>>96893932Damn, now that's pretty smart
>>96893896The forces of Commoragh have bailed out Craftworlds several times. No Craftworld has ever had to help the Dark Eldar.Regardless, for the purposes of this conversation, if we assume that they put aside their differences and we're working together, they would be fairly monstrous. Psychic abominations trained for a thousand lives in every path of their war god that could also be pulled back from death into new cloned bodies. They'd essentially be an army of Phoenix Lords.
>>96893938I dont think so im afraid
>>96893930God damn, do I love that model. I need to finish bish off my old metal sisters army, that celestine is one of the few figures I actually finished.
>>96893120>TqI can sorta stripes.
>>96893981If you have a pic I would love to see her
>>96893981But the new model jiggles
>>96893992I actually do. I got her out of the case recently. I must have painted it well over 10 years ago
>>96894019It helps if I attach the photo
>>96893870I'm thinking some jetpack custodes or maybe jetbikes
>>96893681Shore>>96893870Kitbashing some vanvets, almost done with them and ready to prime
>>96893995Not if you use brass rod rather than the awful parchment...This is my version of the update model.
>>96894032You did a wonderful job, it's beautiful
>>96893730>>96893809I dug up the codex fluff, Omnis is Gravis blended with lighter shit
the new dark eldar codex has more new lore than the craftworld codex, why's that
>>96894056Oh it's you, I have this saved in my cool minis folder.
>>96894070Gotta inflate the page count somehow.
>>96894070It has a hell of a lot more new art too. I think they had a big refresh planned for them this edition and ended up pushing a lot of it back to next edition.
>>96894070DEldar are an outdated faction with uncomfortable problems GW wants to rewrite and reinvent. Eldar are perfect as they are and need no retcons or updates.
>>96894075Have a dog shit photo of all the fully painted ones for your troubles.
>>96894070They actually got an important character with Malys
>>96894061>gravisWHAT THE FUCK
>>96894053you da man
>>96894106Eldar got Lhykhis too. A brand new and long-rumored missing character.
>the parched are the deldar who've had their souls sucked too much by slaanesh and are basically zombies now>new codex mentions the Gnawed Queen of the ParchedAnother deldar character to add before Vect
OOPSIE WOOPSIE
>>96894136They have like six that even had rules at one point I think but no models. Malys was one of them. Vect is waaaay down the priority list I am sure.
I got into Necromunda and it seems like there are some pretty scary forces even on random hive worlds. The imperium not just being conquered makes a bit more sense to me now
>>96894061the lighter shit is phobos it's phobos with addons
>>96894166I heard the codex mentions a C'tan being in a Commoragh subrealm, and Necrons are trying to find it, can you post that part?
>>96894179To be fair, Necromunda is pretty intense as far as hive worlds go, I imagine most hive worlds aren't that crazy
>>96893120Why head so small?
>>96894172>They have like six that even had rules at one point I think but no modelsNewfag here, how did that work? Did GW expect you to kitbash the model yourself or was there a standin?
>>96894192>the deldar accidentally stole a sun with a sleeping C'tanhave they ever done anything correct?
>>96894172>unironic leader of deldar>bottom of the totem pole in priority
>>96894203>Did GW expect you to kitbash the model yourselfyes. the old rule books were explicit about how you would need to hobby or kitbash things like Veteran units.
>>96894206"The Dark Eldar have already won" is one of the dumbest fanon lines I see a lot. Comorragh is falling apart due to multiple dysjunctions from the warp, lost a lot of people to the Ynnari, and is obviously decaying. Vect says himself that he knows he's fleeing a beast that will eventually eat him (Slaanesh) but will throw as much into its maw as possible to delay that end.
>>96894219The codex does say that if the deldar actually bothered working together they could stop the demons, but of course they can't do that
>Yoink!
>>96893870i got some zephyrim being shipped and i think i want a canoness with them too
>>96894223It would mean they weren't even Dark Eldar any more, yeah. It turns out having everyone in your society be completely amoral and self-interested doesn't actually work
>>96894228>drukhari researched votann cultural practices in order to better torture thembased
>>96894233They do that for everyone. There was a funny example of a Drukhari being captured by the imperium and they tortured him via sensory deprivation, just put him in a room. For them it's unbearable
I’m starting a Space Marine army to play 5e with some guys I know, any suggestions on a chapter? I was leaning toward Flesh Eaters but I’m open to anything but Space Wolves really.
>>96893870This smash captain.
>>96894239their chapter icon looks too orky, go with blood swords or knights of blood
>>96893870A Stormboy Nob and his copilot, a terrified grot.
>>96894223We could do a lot of incredible stuff in the real world if we all worked together, but things aren't that simple
>>96894129Lhykis is cool but is she important
>>96894275Phoenix Lords are important to the Eldar. It's like if they found out who one of their Lost Primarchs was and got a model for them and it turns out they lead a successor chapter that everybody loves.
>>96894275She is to me.
When is this coming out again? I really want it.
biel-tan and saim-hann deserve a unique character model like the other major craftworlds
>>96893896The Imperium is decently powerful but not THAT strong. They're a middling power.
>>96894281next year at least. Also I think the fucking nightlords are ugly as shit beyond shit to shit with shit. Its shit.
Khromys > Thyndrak > Malys
>>96894294Nah that is clearly wrong. The Imperium is the dominant power in the galaxy. Necrons would be stronger if they had all woken up and were united but that is very far from their current situation. Necron lords don't even share the same terminal goals. Tyranids are arguably stronger than the Imperium but it isn't really known how many Tyranids there are out there. The current hive fleets are not stronger than the imperium.
>>96894290Yvraine, the Visarch and Amallyn are all from Biel-Tan. They've got more model rep than any other craftworld.
>>96894305Kheradruakh>Sliscus>Sathonyx>Kruellagh>Vect
>>96894299nightlords bore me because their shtick is being edgy in a setting where everyone is edgy
>>96894281Jump packs inside narrow hallways with lots of corners seems less than ideal.
>>96894314>The Imperium is the dominant power in the galaxyNo. The Necrons are the dominant power in the galaxy, so much so that the Imperium is largely beneath notice, and even their regional warlords are able to throw back Imperial crusades lead by primarchs without much effort. The Imperium, of course, is fairly naive, so they end up making the same mistake the Tau do. They think that because the Necrons haven't wiped them out yet, that means they can't, when in reality the Imperium is just too weak to be worthy of their notice.

If anyone wants a rerun of purple anons picture show he reposted it on /grog/
>>96894341DO NOT OPEN THESE LINKS
>>96894166Watch the dark eldar move a subrealm the hive fleet invades into the path of the daemons flooding out of khaines gate so those two problems sort themselves out >>96894219>"The Dark Eldar have already won" is one of the dumbest fanon lines I see a lot. I get that, I agree but one the other hand I want that to be the case, that the pure evil interdimensional are just chilling being the biggest monsters in the setting. But obviously GW isnt go to wipe out Commorragh and squat them so I guess its the same as it always is
>>96894324>Ismaronsz was burning. Oltyx watched the dawn spread in an arc across the arid tomb world, consuming a night pocked with glowing impact craters, and leaving smoke-streaked desert behind. Ahead of the sun’s light moved a line of ugly warships, cruising at the very limits of the world’s exosphere, and shedding yet more bombs from their city-broad bellies. Gauss fire surface, consuming two, three, six of the barbarian vessels. >But it was not enough. The wrecks of the stricken craft tumbled silently down into the ocean of smoke, along with the bombs of the survivors, to pulverise whatever still stood beneath. Oltyx listened to the last carrier wave signals echoing across the interstitial bands, as the remnants of Ismaronsz’s orbital defence cohort faced their end. >The Unclean overwhelm us… our core is stricken… >Recall failure approaching totality… >The Sixth Legion is gone… >But, my lord, there are no scythecraft left to launch… >A curse on Unnas for this abandonment… >Oltyx had seen and heard enough. Waving a dark, ragged hand through the carnage before him, he swept the vision of the world away, and paced on to the next scene of devastation. Here was Tarramun, where the mausoleums of his people were suspended in the seething heart of a gas giant. Those diamond-braced tombs had withstood sixty million years of crushing, elemental force down there, thought Oltyx, only for it all to end like this. >The Twice Dead King, Imperium forces wipe out a necron dynasty The 300 Spartans were better soldiers than the Persians, but they were slaughtered to the last man.
>>96894316those are all traitors though
>>96894341Nice dolphin porn collection you've got there
Metamorphs are genestealers channeling tyranid mutations.Beneficti are Metamorphs specifically channeling ZoanthropesLoci are Metamorphs channeling LictorsWhat other Tyranid bioforms would make a cool GSC mutation?
>>96894353why
>>96894136Imagine if that Gnawed Queen is a very...cruel devil.
>>96894341fucks sake anon
>>96894357And as cute as that naivety might be, the Necrons have many more worlds than the Imperium does. So the Imperium is not only facing a juggernaut with superior soldiers, but also at least twice their number of worlds.This isn't Sparta vs Persia. This is China vs Hong Kong.
>>96894341Looks okay but would really benefit from some shading, it's kinda flat right now
>>96894341>finishedanon you painted the base colors, apply some wash or drybrush at least, and paint the exposed muscles.
My kill team came on time but Amazon's tracker is shit.
>tqBad
>>96894374What does that even mean? That there might be a couple Necrons on more worlds, many of whom aren't even awake? This is pure copium. Yes the Necrons would win if they all woke up and weren't fucked over by the Great Sleep, flayer curse, infighting, etc....but that's fantasy. It's like saying the imperium would win if the emperor woke up in his god like state.
>>96894341looks fine, desperate need of a wash or some shades. its just basecoats at this point. clean work from what i can see in the images so better than i can do.
>>96893120>TQI'm gonna have to find out pretty soon. Luckily Biel-Tan vines seem like they'll be pretty simple
>>96894232You know that old mspaint comic that's like "being an amoral dick rules"?
>>96894386If the Necrons power doesn't count just because most of them are still asleep then the Imperium's power shouldn't count because they can't use it from their own corruptions and ineffficiencies as well.
>>96894374>with superior soldiersNot in my hfy game
>>96893870Deffkoptas or dakkajet
>>96894395That does weaken the Imperium. My point is that in its current state it is the strongest power in the galaxy. The imperium at its height with the emperor and full space marine legions would wipe the floor with everyone in the current setting.
Warhammer needs to be RADICAL again.
>>96894403I like the shoulder pads. I wish I could own a printer for taht.
>>96893120Brown Aeldari ladies.Corsair Codex when?
>>96894321>erm why are the daemon worshiping mutant supermen insane?Nerd.>>96894281June 2026.>>96894299>>96894319You are gay.
>>96894407The skull shoulder pad is available in the Nemesis Claw KT set. Only one of them. Might be able to buy the 3d printed version of it online. Many stores sell "bits" for cheap as 3d printed versions.
>>96894402>My point is that in its current state it is the strongest power in the galaxyAnd I disagree.
>>96894281Late 2026, it was a truly an actual leak. I want them too.>>96894294The Imperium is the largest faction but it has logistics issues. They are actually fighting every other faction in the setting except sort of CWE and sort of Votann. Everything else is open war, and has been for thousands of years. The stellaris analogies do work well for describing power level shit in the setting.>necrons fallen empire>imperium, ultra wide with 4/5 of the galaxy map but low tech / bad economy, dominant by virtue of raw population and production more than every other faction combined>votann, playing tech with a bottleneck thats too hard to conquer>tau, diplomatic tech rush that started late due to an event trigger>CWE, event managed faction that doesnt actually own anything and is just a hazard / story. vulnerable to having their stations blown up randomly and being permanently out of the game ending their side quests.>chaos, rebel factions popped up everywhere and there are too many of them to squash. a couple turned into actual empires, the biggest one the eye of terror has a bottleneck with a huge army thats too big for the imperium to actually take but also struggles to get out of its corner>drukhari, built a super system in the L gates and no one has researched the tech to travel there so they cant conquer anything or be conquered and are just chilling roleplaying basically
>>96894324who is this hottie
>Kabal of the last hatred are necromancers who torutre to death craftworlders, then reanimate their 'stich-fleshed' corpses and put them in kabalite armour to be its undead slave warriors Necromancy name dropped in 40k as a thing, and frankenstein monster eldar shock troops cool!
>>96894421>storesYou got any recs in the us?
>>96894409Should be Anhrathe.
>>96894436Just a couple of online stores I've seen because I was looking for Night Lord heads (which are resin anyway) for a 40k army. And I have no idea, I'm really sorry. I am Euro
>>96894436redshirts pls go, we are not doxing people for your league team.
>>96894426I assume the highest level authorities in the setting know the Votann are abhumans even if a lot of the imperium doesn't. I bet that influences the imperium's treatment of them Basically the votann are right to be paranoid about the imperium wanting to "show them the god emperor's light"
>>96894426>>drukhari, built a super system in the L gates and no one has researched the tech to travel there so they cant conquer anything or be conquered and are just chilling roleplaying basicallyIs this a thing that happens in Stellaris 2025? I haven't played since 2017. If you could escape to the rape dimension to chill that would be cool but wiz seemed to hate anything but cookie-cutter progression (hence the trenches in space).
>>96894353>>96894373BE NICE>>96894375>>96894376>>96894387what washes/drybrushes and where? this is like my second model properly painted
>>96894452*in the imperium not settingLike I'm sure Guilliman and the high lords are aware that the votann are just squats
>>96894448o-okay.
>>96894357The Imperium work super well as villains in xenos fluff. To most races the Imperium are like chaos and the orks combined
>>96894341You did a really good job for just base colours. Go out of your comfort zone, try a bit of shading. Do it on something smaller and cheaper first if you need to get confident
>>96894453You can kinda fuck off into the L cluster if you jump through a bunch of hoops and put a dimensional lock on the L gate. You should have won way before this point tho so it doesn't really matter.
>>96894454the lazy option is to buy nuln oil/agrax earthshade and cover the whole model in it, drybrushing uses the normal paints, you just apply them with a drybrush. Generally you drybrush with either white or a lighter and/or slightly different on the color wheel color
>>96894426To expand on that analogy a bit:>The Imperium actually does have a handful of good tech, but it's entirely reliant on archaeotech, with a very limited supply of archaeotech from relic worlds that is depleted and destroyed faster than they can pile it up>The Tau are pretty much getting all of the xenos refugees that were pushed out by the other factions and its really helping them with their tech rush>The Tyranids and Chaos are basically just straight up Endgame crisis both happening at the same time at this pointVotann feel a bit harder to slot into the setting cause technically they're in the same boat as the Imperium, just losing their tech much slower and with much more of it preserved.
Things I'd like to see from the reveal show as an IGfag>Krieg upgrade kit with Dorn Crewmen>New Leman Russ>500 worlds box with New Leman Russ>Krieg foot hero (named)>Revamped Tempestors that actually come in a 10 man box
I've always thought the only realistic endgames are chaos winning and everything in the milky way dying or the imperium defeating chaos due to the emperor's ascension. If they did a 40k endtimes there would be a massive Black Crusade and a bunch of other factions would ally against it, lost, and then at the end the emperor would do a deus ex machina where he awakens as a true god and resets the setting. Chaos would still exist but be checked by him and maybe a few eldar gods
>>96894482Sure you can. They're a subterrainian dwarf portrait megacorp that focuses on civics that extract resources at the detriment of the planet.
>>96894479Then what's the point>WIZAbsolute swedish fat soi faggot and now he's like 46 so he's not even a young dev anymore he's just a cocksmoker.
>>96894491fuck off. I hope you get shagged by a bloated bloke during the reveals. Astra shit is worse than seeing space marines get another captain.
>>96894480take these tyramites I just did for example, here's my process:>paint the whole model in flayed one skin>water down red enough that it pools in the crevices because I didn't have any good blood washes, then cover the whole model in it>take a drybrush, put flayed one skin on it again, remove paint from the brush until it's just the dry leftovers (hence drybrush) and again pass it over the whole model, this specifically misses all the crevices>paint the carapace parts with agrax earthshade
>>96894203You had to kitbash or just proxy an archon/llhamean as the male/female named characters
>>96894493>or the imperium defeating chaos due to the emperor's ascension.We already known that the Grey Knights have shoot on sight orders for this scenario
>>96894491>>New Leman RussRedpill me on this. I've been wanting a russ for a while. But if they release a new one then prices are going to double for the existing kit due to scalper faggots.>55 bucks for a plastic tankFUCK ebayAnd since the used ones are like 50 bucsk it's not even worth buying second hand. This whole market is gay. And I only want the tank for genestealers too, since GW is gay and doesn't allow traitor guard to use them.
>>96894493real end scenario is nids since the only thing that really counters them is necrons and they arent very widespread, chaos struggles really hard against nids since so much of the usual fuckery doesnt work against them and using psychic shit in close proximity to the shadow in the warp either backfires really hard or barely functions in the first place, theres even some cool fluff about one of the nid hive fleets adapting to a DG plague in the nids 10th codexalso if GW pulls a end times again im starting genestealer cults tier shit at their offices
>>96894491Things I'd like to see from the reveal show as an IGfag>Anything but more fucking Krieg
>>96894501Roleplay I guess. The meta right now is to just rush becoming a crisis and destroy the universe/escape reality/ascend to a higher plane.
>>96894515That's what you get for noting playing in the 2000s and early 2010s :)
>>96894527So it's just 40k then. RUINED
>>96894515it's the midhammer kit and not very pleasant to build. The new Russ from HH is way less exhausting to build, but is coated in Solar Auxilia stuff
>>96894514The emperor’s physical body dying is probably what would cause it to happen. His presence in the warp wouldn’t go away, and right now it’s tethered to his physical body. Fabius Bile kept getting sick because of this, he was becoming a warp entity and kept cloning his body and it would immediately start decaying. Same principle really Of course “the emperor” both from quadrillions of people worshipping him for thousands of years would likely be very different from Neoth the psyker….
>>96894493You can basically write a successful endgame for every faction>Emperor is revived, Imperium wins>Necrons finish waking every world, steamroll everyone and keep a few slave worlds of every race to research a way to reverse biotransference>Tyranids happened to have a larger force coming, steamroll everyone>Chaos kills the Emperor or ascends him to Chaos Godhood, steamroll everyone>Ghazkull ascends to Krorkhood, steamrolls everyone>Dark Eldar/T'au/Kin/Eldar: everyone else killed each other while they hunkered down in their hard to reach domains>Genestealer Cults: This motherfucker finally cures Malstrain aids and becomes capable of subverting both Tyranids and Humanity
>>96894409I will now predict the future.Corsairs will become popular, more popular than Asuryani and Corsairs will become the main Aeldari faction and Craftworlders will be sidelined to be the new faction.
>>96894491>Krieg foot hero (named)Defeats the whole fuckin' point of Krieg
>>96894517Nids aren’t an endgame threat with their current numbers. If you assume they have endless hive fleets that could appear at any time then yes but they don’t
>>96894453You've been able to do it since (insert google search) the addition of Utopia in 2017. Basically there are a few L-gates scattered around the galaxy and you need to get 7 mcguffins via research/exploration and the first person to get open them, which triggers a minor galactic crisis.When you actually get it in there are a few versions it can take but all basically involve a slightly weaker than fallen empire level story faction that continuously spawns nanite battleships and the worlds all have unique buffs that make them really strong but they all have to be terraformed with a unique nanite cleansing tech. If you are the only one who gets the L gate tech you can use the bottleneck system at the front as a super fortress and its so far from the rest of the galaxy you can never back door the rest of the systems. Additionally, you basically get a bunch of indestructible gates only you can use all over the galaxy, so its really strong for raiding. If its super late game you can also build your own gates, connect them to the L gate network by building a gate next to any L gate and now you have beachheads everywhere from your home systems.
>>96894493If the Emperor does end up waking up it would create a nightmare realm so terrifying that basically any human that wasn't subsumed into it, Fall of the Eldar style, would become vehemently opposed to it, and ironically likely end up having to side with what remains of the Eldar and the growing Tau to fight it.
>>96894551>will be sidelined to be a niche faction.
So getting pretty damned pissed that this big bastard is constantly sold out everywhere I look. Should I just convert this wriggly fuck? Thinking of taking a Neurotyrant for the main upper-body, got tons of pincers from carnofexs, but what kits could be used for the worm/snake tail lower half??
does 40k have age extension gizmos?
>>96894566what does this artist have against sisters? Is he fat or something?
>>96894566It could be written that way but it doesn’t seem like the most logical outcome to me. If the new god was born from the imperial cult and Neoth combining then he would “save” the souls of all loyalist humans and torture the rest. Like the Old Testament god of the Bible. Scary maybe but the solution (at least for humans) is to get on your knees and start praying
>lord commander solar>there presumably are lord commanders obscurus, tempestus, ultimus, and pacificusIf you had to add another Lord Commander character for the IG, what would you want
>>96894560>with their current numberslast i read theres like gorillions upon gorillions of them, where did you get numbers from?please i want to read more nids stuff i beg
>>96894579Tons of them. The imperium has rejuvenation treatments that allow you to live for centuries. The admech has even better stuff that they keep for themselves (this is separate from the whole becoming robots thing they have going on)
>>96894579Yes, Rogue Traders and Inquisitors undergo Rejuvenant treatments and regularly make it to 500
>>96894493The problem with how GW/BL has rigged things is that Chaos is multiversal, and also that if the Emperor dies, Chaos just automatically wins. It makes it impossible for anything non-Chaos to win
Anons Incubi have been completely retconned from hwo they in the path of the eldar series. In the books it was a huge deal that an Incubus bodyguard killed his archon (that was possessed by a daemon) and Incubi leaders wanted to hush it up as the Incubi were the solely reliant loyal and honourable servents in all of Commorragh. Now their loyatly must be continaully paid for and they turn on their master if someone else pays them more and are 'utterly without honour'
>>96894594Random nobles also get them, you don’t even need to be a planetary governor or rogue trader or whatever. Just rich
>>96894566>Emperor wakes up and becomes the Dark King>99% of humans inside the Imperium die and get consumed to empower the new Chaos god of oblivion>Most of the humans left are now in the Tau Empire, and fanatically worship the Tau'va who is the only warp god that can save their souls now>The remaining independent humans lead by what's left of the Grey Knights form a grim union with the Eldar, learning how to put their own souls into spirit stones to prevent them from becoming absorbed by the Dark King upon death while the Necrons try to turn humans into blanks so that they have no souls to convert
>>96894572you can ask retailers to order some for you baka
>>96894599That doesn’t really matter in this context. It just means that chaos can’t truly be wiped out even if you defeated it locally. The emperor could still be a god and curbstomp chaos in this reality. The elder did this for millions of years and the old ones did it before that.
>>96893870>What are your plans for the collage this time round?I will probably miss this one, though I do have some stormboyz I could do I guess
I think I'm fine with this, just waiting for the wash to dry so I can drybrush the skulls. Any last minute feedback?
>>96894582I dunno, it feels like they're setting that up to happen since the Imperium never did have its "Fall of the Eldar" moment.
>>96894679I just mean that seems like the most logical outcome given that the nature of the god is determined by its worshippers. If the emperor did become any sort of chaos deity then I assume it’s just insta game over for everything but chaos since there are so many humans and he’s already so powerful. “And then everyone died, the end.”
>>96894582>and Neoth Abnett is a fucking hack who forgot that we already know the Emperors true warp name following the naming schemes of the chaos gods. His name is Jeneth or Jeleth, or Jedaleth/Jedaneth
>>96894708Nope, jeneth/jeleth was never confirmed as him
>>96894662
>>96894662The symbols dont feel pronounced. I dunno, to me they just seem like random scribbles, i know they're based on that chaos language or whatever, but its too last minute imo. Maybe it'd work if it wasnt on red. Only thing I can really say is try and embolden them, as to how, I cant think of any way. I dig the skulls though man.
>People give the Eldar shit for birthing Slaanesh, even though the creation of the Eye of Terror calmed the Warp enough for FTL travel to happen again and Slaanesh is both the weakest Chaos god and daemons aren't all that dangerous without mortal worshippers to summon them>Nobody gives the Imperium shit for gifting 9 Chaos Legions of space marines and cultists to Chaos, even though these are by far the most effective troops Chaos has and the only reason it's been able to create the Great Rift or capture any territory outside of the rift
>>96894739>the creation of the Eye of Terror calmed the Warp enough for FTL travel to happen againThe warp was turbulent because Slaanesh was coalescing
>>96894739The Eldar are such pussies. Their chaos god is just a whore, humanity’s chaos god is destined to destroy the entire universe if it is ever born
>>96894739CSM dont mean shit in the grand scheme, its literally just bad writing. Abaddon is far less of a threat then just... regular psykers spawning everywhere and opening demon portals constantly.
>>96894758The Warp had been turbulent since the fuckin' War in Heaven, it wasn't because of Slaanesh.
teaching a friend how to paintpainted up this sorta AL while watching over him work and giving pointers
>>96894763>regular psykers spawning everywhere and opening demon portals constantly.We almost never see that happen though, even in places like Hive Cities where purging pyskers in the underhives would be basically impossible to do to with any degree of efficiency
>>96893393Cau Toncubines.
>>96894767sweet gradients on the turquoise o&tanon
>>96894739>>96894760The narrative problems created by the human centric setting. By rights the chaos space marine legions and humanity in gneeral should be one among a number of chaos forces and the daemon primarchs just another racial/species daemon leaders >>96894769yeah again structural narrative problems with 40k, because it meant to sell plastic minis not tell a perfectly coherent setting and story
>>96894662good job man
>>96894803Eh, xenos realistically wouldn't make up much of Chaos anyways. If you've survived as a species as long as you have in 40k, you've probably figured out how to defend against Chaos. Hell, even humanity was figuring out how to defend against Chaos up until the Emperor came in and blew up all those civilizations that had figured it out.
>>96894827is there a defense against Chaos that isn't just having a really powerful psyker around?
>>96894803While I think the presence of more Chaos Xenos would be welcome, the narrative is that the Space Marines were curbstomping the galaxy in its entirety before Horus fell to Chaos. There were outliers sure, but it’s not unreasonable that Chaos went with the traitor legions for their main guys.
>>96894848>having a dim soul (T'au)>Intentionally dimming your soul (kin/deldar)>being biologically programmed to channel your psychic powers towards a specific entity(orks/nids/gsc)
>>96894848Yes. You can: >Educate your people about Chaos so they understand the threat>Provide them a comfortable lifestyle that makes forging pacts with mega-satan unappealing>Work with stable psyker species such as Eldar or Nicassar to train your psykers to control their powers>Utilize anti-psyker tech such as Necron pylons>Create a positive religion for people to pour their emotions and faith into, creating a warp entity that will protect them>Dull your souls like the Votann and Tau to reduce Chaos's ability to notice or care about you
>>96894803Humans are really the only truly psychic race we’ve seen other than the Eldar. You have other races like the Niccasar but their psychic abilities are very limited to one or two things, like telekinesis in the case of the Nicassar. Humans breed super fast and their souls/connection to the warp keep growing bigger. We are probably the most dangerous race in 40k for that reason. It’s why the cabal wanted to wipe out humanity.This has all been turbocharged due to the psychic awakening. There are countless alpha plus human psykers that can summon hordes of daemons whenever they get bored or fuck up the laws of gravity on an entire planet
>>96894827>If you've survived as a species as long as you have in 40k, you've probably figured out how to defend against Chaos. Hell, even humanity was figuring out how to defend against Chaos up until the Emperor came in and blew up all those civilizations that had figured it out.Nah I disagree with that fundementally. Chaos isnt some pervaserve mematic threat that attacks even one in the galaxy equally that you can just pray away via having a monotheistic faith with a, obviously fake godhead. The chaos gods focus on who is the most powerful in the physical realm and focus on them. The Emperor drew the chaos gods attention by trying to unite the whole human race in one galatic sized empire. Lesser xenos races and empires are smaller and weaker and thus aren't not focused on by the Warp to be corrupted. The Imperium of man doomed humanity to extinction with its excistence thats the setting, organised religion is cringe and gay and we should never live under it is how the setting was desgined, thats part of the horror of 40k humanity.
Ready to kill some chaos!
>>96894870>Humans are really the only truly psychic race we’ve seen other than the Eldar.Because the setting is an extreme human centric basis, because we can relate to them the best and thus sell the most plastic. 40k as a setting really shouldnt revolve around humanity as fucking hard as it does, theres endless alien species and empires all around the galaxy, many of which are more powerful on an individual basis than the average human.
>>96894893I thought the sword said eminem imperator at first
>>96894900Isn't pretty much every xenos in the game stronger than humans? Save for the Tau of course, who are smaller and shorter and weaker and slower and have worse eyesight than humans.
>>96894906And the Tau also have half of the lifespan of a human also, dying at the age of 40 without rejuvenation treatment (and even rejuvenation treatment only gets them up to like, 90).Literally the only thing the Tau have going for them is that they're smart.
One of my favorite takes on the "psyker problem" is from Dark Heresy 2e. The Askellon sector is remote and frequently riven by warp turbulence, and is therefore only infrequently visited by black ships, sometimes waiting centuries between tithing. So at any given time the sector is likely to have a sizeable population of psychically active individuals who are just waiting for someone to come pick them up. And the local authorities can't not round them up and they can't simply cull them, because when the black ships arrive it will look really bad if the tithe quota wasn't met.The solution the Askellan authorities came up with was to dump all their psykers in an abandoned quarry in the middle of nowhere on the sector capital world. So this hole in the ground will be filled with thousands of untrained psykers given minimal supervision and every reason to feel desperate. The sky above is discolored and crackling with psychic energy. And everyone just decides to ignore it.
>>96894798Cheers! Only grabbed a handful of paints before driving over so it was a good excuse to practice more mixing and glazing
>>96894906yeah, I mean Tau could be retconned to be human sized and strong and it wouldnt change much. But yeah youre right, really humanity since the Horus heresy should be like the Fimir from fantasy. The once favourite race long abandoned and forgetton because the gods want a new race to toy with
>>96894900After what humanity accomplished in the Great Crusade it’s actually quite reasonable that the setting resolves around Space Marines and the Imperium.
>>96894935Yeah people forget that the Imperium killed like...99% of the existing xenos in the setting. Good, evil, friendly, hostile, it didn't matter, basically every xenos they ran into was slaughtered to the last infant.
>>96894900No it’s because in this setting humans are powerful in that way. It’s simply the reality. If you think humanity should be weaker that’s too bad, it’s fan fiction
Abaddon needs cooler warbands working for him. Nobody knows or cares about the Bringers of Despair and whatever their deal is.
>>96894868I'll be real here though. The galaxy being overtaken by a backwards Bronze Age warlord made for a way more interesting setting than letting any of that be fostered proper.
>>96894870As it should be. If we go down at least we’ll take down the elves and blue tree hugging queers from Avatar down with us
>>96894868The emperor really was just a complete retard wasnt he? Instead of giving up the warp for lost and just maintaining a comfortable status quo for as long as possible he decided to massively empower the chaos gods in a gambit to "beat them" by giving them exactly what they want: endless bad times that is their food + an elite army perfect at making bridgeheads for them into realspaceI mean what plan could be more autistic then: if emotions feed demons what if everyone stopped having emotions. like thats actually a realistic goal for humans with how our brains / nanotransmitters work. And I guess soul, considering its a magic setting.
>>96894978I mean the Emperor was basically a gestalt hivemind of like 1,000 psykers who had lived for like....40,000 years before he even began to lead the Imperium.It's reasonable to assume all that time and power might've warped his perspective away from understanding actually humanity.
>>96894978The only non-psychic faction that has a chance against chaos are the Necrons. The Tau got raped by the Death Guard and were saved by the human created Tau’va goddess. The leagues are mostly doomed.Necrons are soulless which is in many ways worse than being dead so their pylons aren’t a real long term solution.
>>96894868It is funny how apparently the secret to controlling your psychic powers is getting tutored by a Xenos, didn't the Eldar do this for an Inquisitor?
>>96894904Well yeah, Eminem is one of the Emperor's disguises. Why do you think his name starts with em?
Would be nice if we got some art of those Nicassar fucking up those Plague Marines though. They straight up blocked bolter shots with their mind-powers, then absolutely bodied them with their claws, and then turned more of them into bloody mulch with more psyker powers.
>>96894978>>96894988The Emperor was never human and just some DAOT weapon that escaped/ was released hence why he makes some bizzare choices that seem to defy logic
>>96894999This is fanfiction the tau can’t actually control powerful psykers, they probably don’t even have a single psyker at beta and above.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHY3n-JQCuUThe guy who made the Astartes animation made another animation here. On the one hand, it has the high quality we all know him for. On the other hand it follows the exact same formula as all the previous animations of having a handful of troops just wade through enemy fire without getting harmed.
Do you guys think we'll start getting previews for the end-of-the-edition narrative soon?
>>96895011>the tau can’t actually control powerful psykersThe Nicassar are literally their oldest allies and they're used to tutor human psykers, they've even created a Psyker Corp to help combat Chaos.Now, granted, Nicassar probably aren't the most powerful psykers around, but they're at least stable from Chaos corruption which makes them invaluable for navigation and teaching.
>>96894995Yeah I remember that the Tau were shooting the Death Guard ships and it wasn’t doing anything. All the damage would repair itself almost instantly. Nurgle’s plagues also proved impossible to stop using their medical technology, the only places that weren’t corrupted on the worlds being attacked were human erected shrines to the Greater Good. Shadowsun reversed her order to have them demolished because of this
>>96895014Pretty sure they all died
>>96895024Yes that’s true but the issue is we are talking about controlling powerful psykers so they don’t open portals to hell or destroy planets after they go crazy. Truly powerful psykers basically imagine things into reality and most of them go insane or get possessed by daemons.
>>96895034is it possible to stop nurgle plagues with technology? or do you need actual magic/warp shit to stop them?
>>96894610Nta. You can in fact ask, but they cannot order it for you. Retailers are over the barrel, brother, they can't get shit in a lot of cases. More than one smaller LGS near me stopped carrying GW out of frustration with supply and the other one is very big, but besides new releases their stock is all space marines. >>96894572That said bro is fucktarded:https://ebay.us/m/B1OZKB
>>96895050No. A lot of them are magic and you can’t cure them using conventional means. Ordinary diseases don’t turn people into zombies and daemons.Some of them are just regular plagues though, Nurgle loves all of that shit
>>96895045That's perfectly possible. Places like the Interex and Diasporex had figured out how to do that before the Imperium ever arrived. Then the Imperium lost the knowledge of how they did that because they blew them up.
>>96895061Doubtful. Part of the reason for the age of strife is that psykers began appearing in larger numbers after the Eye of Terror was opened by the birth of Slaanesh. I think Magnus’ homeworld of Prospero is the only place shown where there were a lot of relatively stable psykers and it seems like that was part of Tzeentch’s scheme to corrupt him
>>96895098Well consider for a moment that this was after the Men of Iron rebellion so a lot of these planets that had psykers appearing on them were miserable shitholes
>>96895008This is just recent lore, though. We've only had one book asserting this possibility and it just came out.
>>96895105You have the causality wrong. The men of iron rebellion was defeated but psykers appearing in such large numbers made it impossible to recover because they were an outside context problem for humans. Humans probably had bigger souls than the Tau all along, but this is the first time they started generating actual space wizards and it fucked up human civilization.
I finally understand the appeal of the Imperium....it was made for subs all along.....
>>96895129This is one of the few crossover arts I've seen that actually makes 100% sense.
>>96895129Bro... Not during NNN
>>96895126I mean the Votann were still able to come up with their own solution to the psyker problem.
>>96895129why is every art posted here ESL as fuck? Why can NONE of them proofread? Literally just run it through AI and then get a native speaker to thumbs up it. If you have like 10k twitter followers or whatever just ask "hey is this english good?" I would do the same for any other language I work in. I have done it many times, its very easy and takes ZERO effort. It just makes them look retarded.
>>96895153For now. They are like the Tau, they don't actually have the ability to resist chaos. The question is if the emperor was right that the only true solution is to flee to an alternate dimension like the webway. He was thinking about the true longterm with the webway project, in terms of millions of years. I think he was probably wrong but it's not an easy problem to solve.
I fomo'd into this box 6 months ago because I thought it would be my only chance and then it's not popular at all/cheaper than the thousand son and emperor's children and death guard equivalents. This was a misstep.
Why did humanity start to evolve into a psychic race though? It seems like that doesn't happen to other races. Was it just random mutations and evolution or were humans some sort of fucked up weapon created by the Old Ones?
>>96895165Every solution becomes a temporary solution if you just say it's 'for now'. You can have resisted Chaos for 50 million years and it'll still be 'for now'.
>>96895161Because Warhammer 40k is very popular in Russia and Japan
>>96895192And? The Tau and the Votann wouldn't even last for a million years in all likelihood, but given the alternative is lots of souls being tortured for literally all eternity plus extinction that seems like a rather myopic view of the matter.
>>96895188Probably another genetic experiment by the Old Ones but an abandoned one which run it's course naturally. Seems like all psychic races come from the Old Ones.
>>96895170World eaters are ugly as fuck. From eightbound to berserkers. At least they aren’t thousand sons though, tzaangors mog their terminators. Which is sad.
>>96895224trying way too hard
>>96895206The point is 'for now' solutions are the best solutions to go with. The Emperor's plan might've worked but it was a longshot and instead he just made everything worse.
>>96895224>tzaangors mog their terminators.
>>96895224But I like berzerkers.
>>96895248it's the same stale bait being spammed by the same stale retardjust ignore him
>>96895170>be Chaos Space Marine army>have an equal number of cultists units and space marine troopsHonestly what was James thinking? When every discount box has the same shit, there’s no reason to keep buying more.
>>96895202>>96895161"What say you" is perfectly cromulent though.
>>96895108That idea was in the HH book Master of Mankind that came out 9 years ago so its not recent
>>96895251GW didn't give most of the chaos armies vehicles (and ec ddidn't even get cultists) so this is what tsons and wes get.
>>96895250Bait? It’s the truth. Beastmen have so much more personality than marines.
>>96895284(you)
>>96895257'What says you' is not
I actually started tsons back in 8th because I liked tzaangors
>>96894172Speaking of, how would y'all homebrew the Decapitator for 10th edition?
>>96895300Are they still your go to army in 10th?
>>96895289
>>96895298WHAT SAYS THOU, TRAVELLER?
>>96895306Not really, although I haven't gotten a chance to use the new detachment.
>>96895300you own no models
>>96895304Lone Op Stealth Assassin and if he leads Mandrakes they all get Sustained Hits in melee. Pain ability is 6" deepstrike with charge.
>>96895314Do you own any models yourself, twerp?
>>96895325Put your trip back on third wheel
>>96895328Just stickin up for my fellow modelers against your hate and harassment.
>>96895298Aragorn says that in return of the king, Tolkien thought it was perfectly grammatically correct
>>96895310no, you do not speak english. It doesnt even worth in old english larping, you would say "sayeth" or "what say you". At no time in the entire history of english has it ever been a fluent use of those words.
>>96895314Posted them a while ago, but here they are againat work
>>96895334you're not my fellownever speak up for me again freak
>>96895339awesome stuff here brother, great job.
>>96895336He says "what say you" not "what says you" you ELS retards.
Exodite models leaked early from the preview. They’re shit.
>>96895339>it's the gunpla slopperwhat a shock you would have such dogshit tastes as to waste money on tzaanslop

>>96895386Thanks>>96895415Sure
how do people do that nameplate stuff on their bases?
>>96895425wow these are sick dude, very nice my peep.
>>968954273d printing or buying them from a 3d printing service
>>96893357Nice Pinterest AI pic
>>96895429I recall people doing stuff like that before 3d printing was a common thing
>>96893412Do they surrender on the second turn?
Which box should I go for? The Space Marine one looks a bit better, no?
Is GW going to release a bunch of new combat patrols soon? one third the sets on their website are sold out.
>>96895472Combat Patrols are now limited boxes.
>>96895470This is the one time where space marine sactually have a decent fucking christmas box and you're comparing it to the trash that is the csm box?
>>96893870Doing some Windriders, primed them last night in a bone white but I'm waiting on some other paint to come in before I start painting up the yellow basecoat.
>>96895477i know, i was just wondering if there's a method to the madness
Is there any reason to not just magnetize a model to its base rather than gluing it?
>>96895494We'll get new Combat Patrol like boxes soon.
>>96895504is that what the leaked '500 worlds' boxes are going to be? makes some sense I guess.

>>96894491>Krieg upgrade kit with tank crewmenThis is the one thing Kriegheads actually need. You can reintroduce some of the bits from the old KT sprue like the mechanical arm here too and maybe some alternative backpacks/arm poses too, but a gunner/tank commander is a must.>New Leman RussFuck no, both the 30k and 40k Russes are fine, even if the 40k one is showing a bit of age. If Guard really need a new tank give them one of the weird obscure ones like the Macharius or Ragnarok >500 Worlds box with new Leman RussIt's just gonna be some repackaged Cadian stuff as usual with these sorts of boxes, my bet is on a Cadian Command Squad + 10 Cadians, a HWT, and a Sentinel. >Krieg foot hero (named)Nah fuck that, one named Krieg hero is enough. Just reintroduce the Death Korps Marshal as a Krieg version of the Cadian Castellan, shrimple as that.>Revamped TempestorsLol no Scions are a meme and always will be, Bridgehead be damned.
Picked up the 2k we left off after round 2 with my Blood Angels. Ended up conceding after round 4 but it was a great game. Mephiston charges a primaris dread and left it with one wound which was when I conceded.
>>96895565why would space marines fight each other
>>96894102You painted your sisters the same colors as your tomb kings? Wild
>>96895565All my guys lost their minds and contracted the black rage, the Ultra Marines directed some forces to deal with the problem until Astorath can arrive and cleanse the fallen.
should marine lenses glow and have OSL when painted
Is humanity the Chosen Ones of the setting? We're the only race that's doing well, we have by far the biggest impact on the warp, and we have legendary superheroes that nobody else has.
So Wasps parasitise other insects, mostly grubs/caterpillars so their eggs can hatch inside them and eat their way out. This idea inspired the alien lifecycle.I was thinking of a chaos tainted abhuman strain that also breed this way. Victims get injected with a parasite egg that grows inside a person and its their way out as a monsterous, but clearly humanised monster thats like an unintelligent shock troops for chaos warbands. Is this idea lame?
>>96895643We gotta find a way to deal with the parasitic mind of the chaos legions, listen to what this heretic is proposing....I recommend full exterminatus to any and all planets exposed to anons ideas.
>>96895638The Emperor is the chosen one because he is the Anathema. Everything else special about humanity is because of its relation to the Emperor.
I can’t believe I fell for the Old World sovl meme. I played one game and knew I’d never play again, it’s worse than 40knok every way
>>96895648He copied that from Trench Crusade. It’s the Cult of the Black Grail run by Beelzebub
>>96895676Only humanity was able to bring forth the Emperor though.
>>96895706I didn't I don't read trench crusade fluff. I was watching an insect documentry about wasps on youtube and had the thought. Cool stuff though
>>96895706I take one look at pic related and the only word that comes to mind is Exterminatus.
‘She Who Thirsts was born out of the death of an entire sentient culture,’ says John.‘Such is the inevitable fate of all advanced, psychic species,’ says Actae. ‘And the Dark King is our fate. This war, my lord, is not one of loyalists against traitors. It is not about the conquest of Terra and mankind by Chaos. It is certainly not about a son at war with his father. This is the Triumph of Ruin. Horus and the Emperor have taken their conflict to such a pitch, that we are about to suffer the same fate as the cursed aeldari. The human race will die in birth-fire, consumed by blood-rage, pestilence, violent transmutation and blind desire. And from the grave-pyre of our civilisation, the broken galaxy will see Horus rising, absolute and complete, as a new, true and terrible god.’She bows her head, shivering. At her side, Katt looks across at Oll with an expression of hopeless shock.‘She’s telling the truth,’ she says.
>>96895379No of those people are me though.
>>96895714>>96895725Trench Crusade is based T B H. Beelzebub is responsible for most genuinely fucked up shit in the heretic warbands
>>96895753Yea that pic there is enuff for me to demand not only exterminatus but the deletion of all souls associated with said bugmen.
Where my peeps at?
>>96895992Fuck off
>>96896026Fuck you I just came here to chill out and discuss models!

How do I get a model for a default, non-named inquisitor? All I can find are models for the named inquisitors. Do I need to just kitbash one together?
>>96896090find a body to kitbash it into one
>>96896048>Space Bears
Which would be nicer to live in?>Tau Empire>Ultramar>A craftworld
>>96896106Depends who you are but probably Craftworld (if it's one of those non fucked up ones).
>>96896089Nice job samefaggin bitch tits.
>>96896098Huh okay. What kinds of models are good for that? Guard? Other agents?
What if the 40k universe is just a simulation and we are still asleep?
>>96896125There’s an extra body with a flamethrower in the combat patrol. Use that.
>>96896125nta but I would look at the stormcast range from AoS or Kill Teams.
>>96896090theres a few ways you could go, especially if you're willing to have a more radical inquisitorcheck out the necromunda lines and other specialist games for parts maybe
>>96896048KEK

>>96896163>>96896164Is this what this place has become?
>>96896163>>96896164Great minds
Does anyone want to review my latest list for any flaws
>>96895008That entire idea has been abandoned.The Shaman thing is his true origin.
>>96896173Dead minds
>>96896164Kek
>>96895008>>96896185the DAOT thing was never canon, only in-universe speculation WAY after we got the meta knowledge backstory of him being an amalgam of reincarnated shaman souls
>>96896192samefsagger
>>96896169>Is this what this place has becomeNo, but that's what you've always been
>>96896195Yeah, I agree with that.We also did get the DAoT deconfimed fully with the Saturnine book.Emperor was born roughly around 8000 BC in Anatolia, which modern southern Turkey. Erda herself was born later around Morocco.And Erda then talks about that she met the Emperor when he was a king for one of the first civilizations.

quick wip update ! sub-assembly on guilliman is going along nicely, im almost done painting him completely before i move on to gluing his model together.....im planning a custom base for him instead of his usual mound of junk that is hell to paint also related i picked up some fairly cheap terrain today that fits the basing theme i have with my army and plan on quick dry brush painting tonite as well. how are yalls hobby projects coming along ?
>>96896260>paints on the sprue Ay ya yai.
>>96895319I like it. Would you make him cost approximately the same as the other dark eldar characters or make him a higher-costed, more monstrous character?

>>96895638no, humanity is just the focusthe biggest impact on the warp was the war in heaven and the old worldthe role of mankind is to be sacrificial lambs in the plans of cosmic frogs
rumors from aos' current reliable rumormonger
That'll be 75$
>>96896604Makes sense, Mandrakes were 80. Kill team are premium kits. I'm not forgiving it, fuck GW. But yea, makes sense.
>>96896232Whats this even prove? That you're a buttblasted tranny that is still holding being called a tranny to heart all these months later? Literal nothing burger, you tranny wannabe thread police
>>96896617It wasn't him that did that because it was me. And it wasn't because I was triggered that he used the word tranny, it just showed that the massive increase in the words frequency on the board was directly attributed to him. That's how much he did it, it has nothing to do with being thread police and everything to do with calling a spade a spade, and a faggot a faggot. 80% of the thread being him doing /pol/ baits and spamming his favorite no no word should have and eventually was treated as underageb&
>>96896604don't worry, they'll be repackaged into 10 models when they end up making the deathwatch terminators
>>96896654>when they end up making the deathwatch terminatorsPlease, I can only get so erect.
