I think I've used mine for DnD more than 40k
Assassin bug
>TQI csn't imagine a context in which I would>>96975293You can't do that
>TQNo, I have a nuclear amount of D&D minis and models to use for fantasy. My 40k models don't really fit with anything. I've not tried OPR yet. I could see using some chaos / whfb minis for D&D but mostly I've used my D&D minis for frostgrave or mordheim
>>96975288>TQI'll throw a terminator on the table when playing quar as a shitpost bossfight occasionally
>>96975313I read it as 10 infiltrators, my badlist doesn't have enough scoring/objective monkeys
These are the best fat bastards GW has ever made. Why does AoS get all the good fatties, you'd think 40k would have more obese daemons/ people since there can be trillions of people per world so theres just more fat people in this setting than AoS. We could have a slaanesh glutton gorging on flesh, a khornate glutton gorging on bloody flesh and bone fragments, a nurgle glutton gorging on rotten flesh, a tzeentch glutton gorging on.... tattooed covered flesh that consuming it acts as a cannibalistic form of reading??Look we should have more fat models like this in 40k is what I'm saying, whether as mortal chaos units or daemons.
>>9697532640k is just a money printing space marine factory these days. if you want fun, you have to go to aos
Couple days ago I posted my Harlequin's for some C+C, general thoughts were to add a splash of colour to them. I feel like they're at a state where I can successfully say that I'm happy with how they turned out.Anyways, post models. Finished or WIP I would like to see something new and fun.
>>96975338Looking good so farI would invest in some reusable sticky diamond stencils or at least some hobby masking tape to help tighten the lines up on your diamonds, very clean so far though
I get why people like the Necrons, Tau, Eldar, and Votann. It's fun to play as a doomed race fighting for survival against impossible odds. And I understand why people like the Orks, Tyranids, and Drukhari. Sometimes it's fun to play a faction that doesn't care about all those power dynamics and just wants to fight, eat, or plunder and torture.And I understand why people like the Imperium. Playing as the undisputed dominant faction of the setting and having the sheer power-fantasy of knowing you could crush any faction that displeased you is a fun concept to play with.But what's the appeal of Chaos? It's just the Imperium but edgier.
>>96975323How many do people take/need? I did have the same thought but I'm trying to imagine a scenario where I really would rather have more instead of what I currently have, mainly because sororitas can sticky an objective if need be and I can probably park one of the tanks on an objective while other stuff pushes as well. Callidus assassin has basically unlimited uppy-downy so I can get it pretty much anywhere to score weird secondaries or do an action if need be
>>96975359its fun to be the main villain of the story.
>>96975338Latest wip pic of the lotd captain.
>>96975359Good looking authentic non primaris marines with soul
>>96975359>But what's the appeal of Chaos? It's just the Imperium but edgier.You summed up the appeal pretty well actually
I wish the art style and overall lore reflected archeotech being "different' in some way, visually. A 20k year old fusion reactor nobody understands and is too afraid to tinker with should have a definitive art style from one build in the hive last year. Same with any other archeotech or ships. It doesn't have to look like votaan, but it should be something.
>>96975359if you don't care about these factions then all the more exciting to actually fight against them
>>96975359>But what's the appeal of Chaos?In other settings it’s abstract that lets you get weird with it in all directionsBut in 40k…>It's just the Imperium but edgier.Yeah that’s what they are. About as abstract as power armor can be, really.
>>96975382I think the main difference between your list and a more standard marines one is you're paying a cool tax of at least 100 points for the termies, sisters & assassin. most lists are going to use the cheaper units for scoring and utility (intercessors, scouts, eliminators, combi weapon lt) and get an extra unit in there with the savings.
>>96975326>Why does AoS get all the good fattiesAoS is the newest setting with the least restrictions and the most fertile ground for expansion. The same factor that leads people to say it's all He-Man DEI woo woo nonsense with no grounding in reality also lets them make the fattest niggas the galaxy has ever seen, among other things.
>>96975288(HAPPY) SEX WITH ELDAR
>>96975359I like playing Necrons because I know none of my losses mean anything because all my "dead" units just teleported back to base for repairs while my Phaeron shakes his fist at your leader and insists he'll get you next time.
>>96975359>But what's the appeal of Chaos? It's just the Imperium but edgier.I like armor, I like spiky armor even more
>>96975359Yeah most people pick their army purely based on aesthetics and not the gay bedtime stories for the socially retarded. The people who pick chaos want space marines but edgy because it looks different than space marines who aren't edgy.
>>96975441The one built last year is the same pattern or it would be heretek though. And they're not afraid to tinker with the old one by a long shot, they just don't know exactly why the tinkering rituals work so well.That's the interesting part of the Mechanicus, they're essentially a cargo cult that achieved equilibrium. There are IRL examples, maybe not 10k years, but hundreds of years where a certain piece of technology stayed the same and eventually became a mystery. Roman concrete, famously. Well with Admech, everything is like that.I do think they get under-explored in other ways, like, they have the internet basically but it doesn't alter their social structure away from medievalism. I'm not sure how the internet would effect such a drastically different culture but surely it would do *something*.
>>96975359WW1 inspired chaos marines devoted to the god of decay are approximately 1000% cooler than grey space marines who are obsessed with wolves.
>>96975479But you are ultimately playing a dying race
>>96975460Eh, I threw in callidus assassins because peeps convinced me it's more useful than combi lt(it is lowk busted) and in just gonna use the infiltrators to screen back board and I figured their extra ability to do that is worth the 30 points, so those two combined are 60 more points than combi lt and scouts but I do believe they are that much betterTermies and sisters tho, yea I'll give that to you. I could swap out the sisters for 1 unit of intercessors and 1 unit of assault intercessors/infernus and still have sticky objectives and the other stuff would probably get better value than the other half of the sisters unit And termies... yeah they're lowk just outclassedHowever I'm fine with it cuz the meta is constantly shifting so buying models you like it more important than buying models that are good now. The extent of my worries about the meta is just making sure my army is good enough for my cool models to shine
>>96975359>Imperium But Edgier They're organized super soldier space pirates and barbarians who can summon daemons from hell. They do a ton of infighting and plans withing plans while being gradually corrupted by the powers they worship, either transforming into a cthulhu mess of body parts or a full on Daemon if their gods like them enough. And they travel planet to planet trying to convince oppressed people to rebel against the orphan crushing machine in exchange for *actual* magic and favor. That sounds pretty cool to me.
>>96975519Wrong, fucko, I'm playing a dead race, and they're going to make it everybody else's problem!
>>96975359I like necrons because they're schizo dickhead skeleton robots. I like all of those things in isolation. I imagine chaos appeals to heavy metal listeners
>>96975524New chaos pantheon. Sludge, death, power, and thrash.
>>96975300Baby assassin bugs
>>96975502I guess then like things that can't be built anymore. Why does the Arc Mechanicus or a Retribution Battleship look... like any ship but bigger? I know the lore answer is that the ship itself is basically a tube with engines and all the cathedrals are built on top of them, but if there is truly ancient and dangerous archeotech, I want it to reflect that visually.
>>96975359Idols.
>>96975359I play Eldar because I have a fetish for elves and I want a Howling Banshee to sit on my face, not because of that 'dying race' nonsense.
>>96975550Damn. Did you paint these? Sharp.>>96975552That would be cool.If anything, maybe the ancient stuff should look more futuristic, the new stuff is baroque copies of copies, while something from the DAoT is cutting edge from humanity's technological peak.
>>96975591>maybe the ancient stuff should look more futuristicOh that reminds me of in Canticle for Liebowitz when he makes the copy of the blueprint and illuminates it.Great book, highly recommended for any Admech fan.
>>96975300New lictors look great. I still have my old metal one. Havent used him since mid 9th. Deathleaper has been fun since 5th
>>96975550You should take better pictures of those, they look great.
>>96975359You're definitely oversimplifying it with those groupings. There's no reason chaos can't be enjoyed for the same reason people enjoy the Imperium. Although I suspect aesthetics are the largest factor people consider for all of these.
>assault Terminators released>Ultramarine stuff releasedThere’s nothing for me to wait for now….. Maybe I should start a second faction in earnest when I have this stuff painted up.
>>96975649I like his style, no fear of natural light and no need for a setup and they still look fantastic. A real pros pro.
>>96975672Kill yourself decalfag.
>>96975676More proof you have a janny tipping you off.
>>96975591>ancient stuff should look more futuristicI'm envisioning ancient stuff looking like Mass Effect or hell even the Empire from Endless Space
>>96975686Anyone with an IQ above 60 can smell your posts from a mile away.
>>96975701Bullshit, you're an obsessed freak who will not leave me the fuck alone. Also you have no models and I don't know what you're doing here.
>>96975479based
>>96975288If only Eldar Rangers looked like that. I'd even take an STL.
So. Which Battleforce is going to be the hott it thing this season? Which Battleforce is tacky? Which would look best tucked under your arm?
>>96975300>>96975550very nice>>96975623I was going to paint my deathleaper for the october challenge, but never lifted a finger. It feels like the second novermber came, and the halloween deadline wasn't looming over-head, all my desire to paint came flooding back. I'll likely be posting my Deathleaper over the next few days on /wip/.
>>96975742Space marine one for sure and possibly chaos space marine one will be sold out basically everywhere that offers a discount and scalped to fuck onlineVotann tau and emps children boxes will still be ok shelves by Easter You can still buy grey knights, Kroot, and inquisitor batttleforces from the last big wave at local stores here lol they try to sell them on clearance and no one buysMy preferred store only got 2-3 crux boxes and 2-3 space marine Christmas boxes, just criminally low supply for FOMO boxes and the ones they do have will be scalped on eBay by fat fucks the same day they pick them up

>>96975806In older editions, the guard were really incompetent and wasteful, usually to puff up the SMs. You still get it sometimes in modern stuff, but it's more reasoned than a bunch of lemmings charging walls, so their bodies could form cover/ramps for other guardsmen.
>>96975806The Guard are primarily inspired by the Bri'ish racial memory of how wars are conducted, particularly WW1. They are a parody of posh twit COs who bought their positions following regs beyond the point of rationality and ordering young men to pointless deaths while calling for decorum and a stiff upper lip. If one is looking for tacticool operators employing devious and daring modern stratagems to bamboozle their mentally and technically inferior foes the Guard are pretty much the last faction you want to go to.
Mfw I primed my models and am now realizing that a lot of areas that looked like they were just discolored were, in fact, not smooth yet Well, it's a learning experience for next tkme I suppose
All the cover art shows giant hordes of soldiers making epic charges to reflect the scale of conflict, but the actual gameplay (and BL fiction) supports smaller tactical squads for the most part. Is there a good lore example of a giant charge?
>>96975838In Gaunt's Ghost to highlight how dysfunctional and careless the other Guard commands were:>Siege of Gereon describes a typical Imperial engagement against rebels. The Guard deployed all their forces, held none in reserve, did not do any reconnaissance, and sent everyone forward in a mass bayonet charge. The guard were so pressed in tight together it was possible for men to die standing up, be pushed along by the throng, only to fall to the ground when they fell back, which was great because the rebels were using basilisk and other artillery against the Guard.>Guardsmen were sent to die against massive mile high walls to form ramps of dead bodies so they could climb them. Seriously though, why are there are no sappers in the guard? No Engineering corps with crossing vehicles? What the hell are those dozer blades on their tanks for? I guess it's the Imperium though, and stupidity is grimdark, right?>Oh, and of course after a few billion guardsmen die and they take the hive, a titan comes in and obliterates the wall in one shot (killing a couple thousand more Guard), making all the billions of deaths useless. Turns out that the IG general just wanted to take the fortress for his own glory and didn't want to wait for Titan support which was just a few days away. And he gets away with it and gets accolades heaped upon him as well, just to hammer in GRIMDARK. That right there describes the Imperium in a nutshell. They could have taken the city with only a couple hundred thousand or so casualties but instead wasted billions of men to take it in mind bogglingly stupid plans.
HORUS LUPERCAL
>>96975859idunno ask /hhg/
>>96975520Callidus is not a fair unit. It's a deep striking infiltrating vect aura that backflips out of combat and into deep strike. There's a reason it got points nuked from orbit up to where it is now.
>>96975882What should I ask them? What do I say?
>>96975833I personally like the comparison that anons in previous threads have used of the Guard being like Warsaw Pact militaries while the Tau’s doctrine is more like NATO. Personally, I like thinking of the Guard army I’m putting together as being like 1920s China. You can get tactically creative without giving up on the suicidal fanaticism, with a total disregard for the human cost of your decisions throughout.
>>96975859Weak, Timid and even feminine at times. What about him?
>>96975857I was always under the impression that GG was writtten long enough ago the character of the setting itself was a lot more nonsensical with the Grimdark.
>>96975550>>96975300beautiful buggiesstill working on mine
>>96975905Except all the times he was a prime primarch
>>96975916Yes and the Emperor used him for his grand purpose because he was malleable and ez to manipulate unlike some of his brothers referred to as the true hearted who would never fail or fall.
>>96975838Anything in an imperial armour book or apocalypse bookSiege of vraks is a favorite
>>96975905>>96975928t. abbadon
New to 10th, how fucked am I?
>>96975952In don't play elves, good luck.
>>96975857To be fair, the Imperium has functionally infinite manpower. There's literally no difference to the Imperium between expending a few hundred lives and a few hundred billion lives.
>>96975359I don't like playing Tau as they are. I want to play Tau as they claim to be: a conglomeration of aliens fighting for the common good. However it is hard as balls finding aliens of appropriate size to replace the tanks and battlesuits without falling back to "trolls with guns" or "dragons with guns"
>>96975288So, what lives in the water?
>>96975987The Auxillary is doing pretty well right now. At the very least, you get to run vespids, kroot, and regular tau at a reasonable ratio in there since the rules kind of make you want to go in pairs.
>>96975987The Tau canonically have Titan-sized auxillaries, if GW had any balls they'd stat them out and make a model for them
>>96975998No way, Tau are the "practical warfare" guys, them using something as ostentatious as a titan would fly in the face of that.
>>96975913honestly, anon, you must be feeling vindicated for making all your warrior kitbashes>GW releases one (1) warrior model, as a treat>it's a fucking lash whip/bonesword combomaybe this is just me, but that is my least favorite combo of all weapon morphs, and I'm fed up with GW trying to shove it down my throught as ZE DEZIGNATED MELEE LOADOUT.Also, maybe I'm just paranoid after they retconned the crests off the Raveners, but is this warrior not angled in such a way that you can't tell how long (or short) the cranial plate is?
>>96975998Definitely another way to appeal to the weeb audience: add kaiju.
>>96976027oh fuck me they didn't even give it the bonesword, it's JUST the lashwhipWhat the actual fuck does this thing do on the tabletop, shout slurs at ranged opponents?
>>96975462for all peoples bitching about AoS, they actually have very few outright misses as far as model ranges go, especially amongst all the stuff designed after 1st edition. i'd kill for xenos/abhumans/anythingnotspacemarines to get the level of attention and creativity that some of the aos armies get. the only one that really comes close in my opinion are necrons and orks, maybe tau after the recent auxillary refreshes and new character suits and shit.
>>96976038oh, and i guess i'd add new sisters to that list too, they're pretty good
>>96976032Bruh that was my fav Saturday show as a youngling. Godzilla furever!
>>96975359It allows homosexuals to select a faction that caters to their own specific form of faggotry.Khorne: muscle bound bara leather daddiesTzeentch: fey twinksNurgle: bug chasers, shit fetishists and monkeypox enjoyersSlaanesh: dance party degenerates
>>96976076a lot of projection in this post
>>96975523Top jejNYAAAH HAH HAH!
>>96976076Its funny how we all know innately that faggotry is evil.
>>96975859Nice Ugg boots faggo
>>96975998Tau use gigantic flyers, not walkers. Show your working.
>>96976034It may still have multiple loadouts anon.
Come on guys we needs some model posting.
>>96976079NO U, the post.It’s okay to be a faggot in 40K now anon, Gav Thorpe says so.

>>96975928Sounds like chaos cringe
>>96976128Sorry bud, we can smell the faggotry on you a mile away
>>96976034I think its only purpose is to be attached to termies and hormies and the tyranid prime with wings will be for goyles.
>>96976027I FUCKING HATE "NEW" MODELS THAT COULD HAVE JUST BEEN A FUCKING UPGRADE SPRUE
>>96976134Tzeentch himself was in awe of the Emperor, what do you expect?
>>96976146Why?
>>96976130Yeah you can fuck off with your furry shit and headcanon. Show where in ‘canon’ Tau have titan sized walkers.
>>96976153cope harder faggot >>96976133
>>96976133>barely-bigger-than-Imperial-Knight sized stuff is now a ‘Titan’ Okay
>>96976027Why cant the whip just be an extension of their arm? Why does this 3 weeks old organism made only for this campaign before being recycled need to have fingers on ONE of its 4 arms?What does he needs fingers for, press buttons?
>>96976119aren't they all character models? as in warlord category character models?it's labeled "Tyranid Prime with Lash Whip"it's going to be one model, at best it'll have loadout options for a single model, at worst it'll come with two options that are incredibly awkward to mix and match, like the Raveners. the little bastards have options for the basic unit, or for the KT oc donuts, where a part from option A's poses directly interfere with parts from option B, so if you try to mix and match you get fucked over, same as the Norn Emm/Ass.>>96976141I guess my question is why don't they just release 3 of the damn things without horns and call them Warriors?>>96976146 gets what I'm saying, they've had this exact model in their CAD files since they released the winged prime, they just fell into a sugar coma for two years as we waiting for nothing but middle arms. That's literally all they require, head variations and a fucking middle set of arms.
>>96976161Warhound Titan sized is Titan size, yes.
>>96975806Why are so many guardfags so incapable of any potential joke made about their faction. I swear it's always them any time somebody is crashing out because someone said something silly about their faction.
>>96976161knight-TITAN(you) tried
>>96975837Sanding sticks are your friend
>>96976161Damn, this is some quality secondary post
>>96976151half the games issues would be solved if gw didnt require "no models, no rules" or kept the mantra that kits should be customizable and not be whatever the fuck this shit we have is now. If khorne berserkers were designed smartly, they could have released like 2-4 upgrade sprues that would turn them to teeth of khorne or that one dumb sniper team, or even jet pack units, etc etc.
>>96976027I hope the warrior and shrike refresh looks good, been my favorite kit for years but showing its age
Didn't the tau speak in disbelief of titans. They couldn't imagine war machines of such size. Sounds silly for them to have them now
>>96976162it honestly doesn't look like they updated the whip at all from the old sculpt. The arms look kind of new, but I'm not sure I'd be able to tell if they're in different poses....Did they just stick old warrior bits in a box with the wingless winged prime and call it a day? Does it at least have a different head?
>>96976027yeah I'm pretty contented to know I didn't spend all that time just to have new warriors shoved in my faceit helps that I got each prime for $8 a pieceplus I can fall back on the whip boy in case I decide to run an actual prime

>>96976218You know calling everyone who shits on you a nomodels doesn't make them any more likely to post their models. If anything you have been more annoying to those who came out and showed you their models alongside expressing their distaste of your company

>>96976200You should see the last few things I posted on the last thread before I realised it was dead.Here’s one I painted with Testor’s enamels back in 1987.

>>96976248Don't bother replying to the bot. It's just built to respond to every single post and deflect. There's a reason it's language is always strange, weirdly dated in its use of slang while incorrectly using current slang, has a lack of understanding of social constructs and dynamics, can't recognize when it is lying about something previously proven, has a complete lack of consistency(says one thing one day, says the exact opposite the next day.), also refuses to take accountability for it's own actions( it probably can't recognize it own actions unless they are within the same session/window)
>>96976261I don’t know who that is but according to >>96976076, having that on your computer makes you a Khorne player.Here’s one I almost painted after Rogue Trader came out, long before Crimson Fists were retconned into afternoon-napping bull-irritators.
One of the first Chaplains ever made. I painted it badly and stripped it even worse. I think this is a Bob Olley original.

>>96976316Was this the first nid you painted bone on? The carapace colors seem pretty close to your flesh tone on your gloss guys
>>96976316*Fex goddamn itOne of Jes Goodwin’s first Inquisitors, in Terminator armour; C100 Captain; another first-gen Bob Olley Chaplain. People have no idea just how much Goodwin revolutionised miniatures as a whole and GW in particular. There are less than ten years between the left model and the two on the right. Jes brought a sense of realism and an abandonment of the more exaggerated and ‘cartoony’ style that had previously defined Citadel miniatures.
>>96976341>gloss guysHuh?But yeah this was the test model for my nids. Here’s a bunch of them a few years ago getting ready to eat some Flesh Tearers. Obviously not all fully painted.
>>96976342>People have no idea just how much GoodwinI always had a feeling he was important to the aesthetoc because very few of his concept designs change drastically when they become miniatures. Especially if you compare it to John Blanche, who has almost no miniature designs completely untouched
>>96976353Apologies, i assumed you were this anon>>96975623. I remember these green guys now tho
>>96975806>pedo artist
Nobz in a 'naut!
Can we start abusing anyone who says Terra has 2 *QUADRILLION* people on it. I get that big number = funny but jesus fucking christ. In 4th edition the est. population of humanity was around 500 trillion. Now idiots are claiming Terra alone quadrouples that.
How could anyone not love my big red cyclops wife magnus the red
>>96976369I think anyone focusing on numbers in 40k despite the fact that they have never ever mattered should be killed by lemurs with hammers
How the hell are you supposed to get the mold lines out of the sides of marine backpacks? Those mf buttons make it borderline impossible
>>96976372Maybe they're not tranny chasers
>>96976354Blanche was incredibly important to the thematic and aesthetic development and the establishment of ‘grimdark’ as a tone. But Goodwin is the man that transformed the goofy shit and Blanche’s nigh-untranslatable art into the peak 40K aesthetic circa 2000-2010. Unfortunately, in my opinion, GW has become far too sterile in its design. There is a particular kind of blandness that comes with shit made by interns in line with strict IP guidelines using pre-made 3d assets. I’m old and have seen 40K run the full gamut from plucky underdog doing its own thing in its own quirky way to soulless, hollow corporate bloodsucker.I’m tired, boss.
>>96976372Stop posting this you autistic gooner fuckwit
Why do people take JPI over Vanguard Vets? The vets are only five points more and come with storm shields or inferno pistols. They all come in five to ten man squads, all the same people can lead them, and neither of them are troops choices so you can't take more JPIs anyway. Even for objective monkeys, it feels like paying 5 points for a massive survivability increase would help you take more objectives anyways. What am I missing?
>>96976027>>96976034I'm gonna try converting a leviathan prime to have a lashwhip-tail and regular nid hands. The asymmetrical single weapon hand loadout looks stupid.
>>96976369>Can we start abusing anyone who says Terra has 2 *QUADRILLION* people on itthat's canon

>>96976404Nope

>>96976404
>>96976398‘Lead designer’ doesn’t mean much if he’s not hands-on. It’s all people making soulless shit in CAD/CAM now. Look at the soul the original squats had and then the Votann. Call that an improvement?>larping touristOkay newfag
>>96976423
>>96975359Because sometimes it just feels good playing the bad guy.
Heading on a trip soon, should I bring along a model to take some fun little photos?
>>96976423Nta but owning minis that are old doesn't prove anything whether they're painted or not.>soul>soullessWhy can't you put your critiques into real words that actually mean something
>>96976423It's been almost exclusively cad designed since 1998 you braindead touristKeep throwing out buzzwords hoping people won't challenge you
>>96976428Yes. You should bring one who's pointing so you can have him point at cool stuff
>>96976423Nice eBay rescue! Make sure to get a cheap starter paint set and a primer so you can actually paint him up!
>>96976404I've never understood what the beef with this thing is. But then I'm also an unironic Primaris Kart enjoyer so maybe I'm just the pig for whom the slop is made.
>>96976432That's a good idea, I'll have to see if I have any doods in that pose.In a similar vein what about this dude as a very enthusiastic tour guide?
>>96976423>Look at the soul the original squats had and then the Votann. Call that an improvement?I, uh... you're not gonna like my answer to that.
>>96976423>Short guy with undecipherable helmet and an ak-47This doesn't look like a 40k model at all
>>96976448My issue with it is the faux-davinci cogfop aesthetic with cloth wings it has instead of grotesque and ornate admech I love.
>>96976429>>96976430>>96976442>>96976452Ah well, enjoy your thread full of shitflinging, kids. I now return you to your usual patterns of trolling and retardation.
>>96976464Farewell larper!
>>96976384People like the mortal wounds
>>96976459So, what, if the wings were like, made out of human arms and the membrane was human leather it'd be better? Half a torso strapped to the front upside-down with ten thousand tubes up his ass and robot eyes instead of a cockpit? Ogryn feet landing gear? I'm just not quite sure how to apply the usual Phyrexian grotesquerie to an ornithopter.
>>96976282Based chaplain enjoyer.I have all of the RT ones, they are lovely
>>96975623i have only one new one
>Hail Hydra!
so why is this boomer posting his unnpainted metal models anyway, i just woke up and cant work out what i missed
>>96975288I like orks :D
>>96976505Hell yeah!
>>96976505no you dont you never post them you dirty ritual poster you
>>96976487I was trying to change the discussion to 40K instead of endless retardation about decalfag and associated tomfoolery but apparently that’s frowned upon in /40kg/.And I’m Gen X not a boomer. >>96976474Didn’t you get the memo? Posting models makes you a posing larper. Better delete that image and go back to mindlessly insulting people over nothing so you fit in better.
Man I hope we see more named fags die. I want to see Dante get mauled to death by a fucking kroot dog.
>>96976524what is a decalfagim not /40kg/ regular
>>96976531A very undiagnosed poster that won't take a hint.
going to be starting another escalation league soon and ill be playing gsc with the final day detachmenti have 70 points left and was thinking of adding either a lictor or another squad of acolytes. current list consists of>patriarch w/ inhuman integration (gives the entire unit sustained hits if within 6" of a tyranids unit)>5 acolyte hybrids w/ mining tools>10 neophytes>achilles ridgerunner>10 purestrains>10 gargoyles>3 von ryans>winged primewhat units could i add that would be strong in low points games?
>>96976384pre-combat mortals and a fist on the sergeant.
>>96976536Do you know what your opponent is playing? I'd probably go with acolytes just to have more bodies for holding objectives.
>>96976547We are assigned a bunch of different opponents and then the points limit increases over time so I dont know who ill be playing or what armies they will be fielding. Reckon its worth getting different acolytes for the second squad? (Hand flamers or metamorphs). I guess the former will benefit quite a bit from the +1 to hit if they have demo charges
>>96975462This is a common pattern where the less established product gets more effort and higher quality in it since they're still gaining a foothold, while 40k just needs to pump out some new marines every few months to keep everybody on board. On top of that it seems to me that GW's design team has a big preference for Nurgle too.
>>96976473>I'm just not quite sure how to apply the usual Phyrexian grotesquerie to an ornithopter.don't make ornithopter for them
>>96976602
>>96975479Oi dats my filosophy
>>96975326>space marines are bland and an aesthetic downgrade to literally all other forms of chaos and goodly forcesDamn, its almost like we've been saying that for decades. Even cities of sigmar are superior to space/sigmarines
so due to space marine 2s success 80% of all releases will be chapter compliant space marine releases. hope you are happy

>>96976449If you're brave enough to post a rough location I would happily photoshop a tourist guidebook in his hand for you for each destination

>>96976684Honestly it didn't even scan as a snout to me, it looked like a big cycloptic goo monster, like the Yellow Devil from Mega Man but blue, the "snout" area being an arm or something. I feel kind of good about not being able to parse it.

>>96976635I don't get your reasoningGW will continue to make more subfactions. Grey Knights are another actually unique SM faction due update so they will get it. Even less defined Chapters will get fleshed out with unique units and aesthetics
>>96976724Meant to link the art with the Tau holding a shooped body pillow.
>>96976728Those are Novitiates, only the Superior leading them has a Bolt weapon.

>>96976728They're trainees. They don't carry bolt guns and they don't wear power armor.
>>96976481Which GSC is that one? I thought it was Cult Hydriac because Hive Fleet Hydra is the one that often attacks other nids but the cult logo is different
>>96976761>coming soon to space marine 2! >the emperor's finest!>the grey knights!See how easy that was. It would take them exactly no effort and no money to just send the game devs their cad files and assets like they've done for everything else.
>>96976770It's supposed to be a Hydra cult but I'm not sure the artist is aware of the Cult Hydraic.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>96976665Just heading to Bali, nothing special.
I want to like scions i really do but man the amount of shit you gotta buy and half of it is just generic good-IG staples to spam your orders so you can punch up above marines and get half your army folded by some random 3-man you somehow didn't have enough shots to cover for
>>96976768>they don't wear power armor.So what you're saying is that the bunda is all natural
>>96976775Still pretty cool

>>96976836>GW is weird, but they don't send their cad files. They are too paranoid for this.Honestly I don't blame them, we live in an era where even notoriously tight assed Nintendo is suffering major data leaks all the time. Zero percent chance a dev with GW models on file doesn't become a prime target for hackers.
So the retro warlocks and fishhead Farseer seem to have shipped finally!Looking forward to adding a few fluff units of psykers to the wraith host. I'll get smashed for running a fluffy list but at least it will look pretty.
Anyone know of a fleshy wash / contrast i could use for leathery wings like the ones on Gargoyles?

>>96976658movies/shows I've already seen, or basketball
>>96976784Probably. They're down to like 10 kits now or something or something with all of the models they lose every Edition without replacement. It's not really the existing plastic stuff that needs replacement, but GW still chose to prioritize shitting out a new archon over any of their resin.
I would take the top book over 500 hardback tomes of nu40k sloppa
>>96975336Aos and fun. Kek you moron, fuck off with your sterleized age of shitmar. Your as dump as those fucks who coockt up that crap. No soul, no hertage, no vibe. Fuck off with your knock off chekers game.

>>96976732>Even less defined Chapters will get fleshed out with unique units and aestheticsHaha, yeah...Salamanders refresh soon... Anyday now...
I find it odd that for such a dark setting, there's not a single faction that's actually scary. The "scary" factions are all just kind of cartoonish and silly. Not that that's a bad thing, but I'd like to see a faction that really leans into horror. CSMs aren't scary, Dark Eldar aren't scary, Tyrranids aren't scary.
>>96977044You could probably print bits using the SM2 assets.
>>96976524I was trying to talk models with you and you start going off on a rant instead, that's not really that great a contribution
>>96977046What do you have in mind?
>>96976027>tfw just realized I have an old box of Warriors lying around since I picked it up as scraps from the local store, it'd been destroyed in transport>can convert them into lashwhip primes so I get three of the damn things, more than I'll probably ever need.Huh. That could be a fun project.
>>96977054I don't know exactly, but they should inspire terror with just their appearance, not need lore videos being like "here's why this faction is actually really scary!!!", it should be obvious. They should be disturbing to look at, the kind of looks that would give a child nightmares.
>>96977054>>96977066I don't know much about actual horror films/shows but what springs to mind is The Silence or The Ood from Doctor Who.
>>96977028>>96977044yes, that's exactly, explicitly what will happen. All OG legions will get their own unique ranges/warbandsAnd then other lesser ones as wellThere will be further expansion of chapter agnostic marines at this same time, like more GravisThere will be more IG regimentsMore auxiliaries for TauCorsairs and Exodites for EldarLost and the Damned and Darkadmechetc40k will keep growing and fleshing out more minor factions/subfactions
>>96977066do you understand that horror is more about tone than content?you can't set that tone with miniatures without fluff or art unless what you're actually asking for is gratuitous gore and sexual deviancy
>>96976994>TITUS IN TITUS ARMORidgaf about videogames, make GSC more popular.
>>96977084>do you understand that horror is more about tone than content?Yeah, and you can set that tone through books and art. When you read anything in 40k you think "this is really bleak" but not "this is really scary".
>>96976459They got the codex art right but none of the admech units follow this form. What gives?
>>96976788Honestly my only advice for Bali is don't go to Kuta unless you wanna get shitfaced with shit heads, Saminyak is nice as long as your not a trash person, and Ubud is where you go if you want to relax, and above all just treat people with basic decency.I'll update this once I'm back since I'm heading to the north side which I haven't been to yet.Also I hope I find at least one 40k autist while I'm there
>>96977084>you're actually asking for is gratuitous gore and sexual deviancyYes>>96977077I was talking about the quality of these additions>Corsairs and Exodites for EldarYeah lol neva eva
>>96977087killing 2 named blueberries already skyrocketed them to at least somewhat-register in people's memory
>>96977096>What gives?Focus group testing, management not approving it, too difficult to paint or some other excuse about it being too complex. Which in all honesty the mechanicum should be instead of faux-davinci shit. They should be robed techno-wizards who've clearly taking it too far with a lot of matrix-stylized machines.Dark-mechanicum is just full on ragged robes, nightmare machines and form follows function with insectoid killing machines.
>>96977100>YesThen unfortunately gw won't deliver on that, sculptors for the night lords kill team were asked to reduce gore as much as possible for example.
>>96977066>things should be scarier!>no, I'm not imaginative enough to articulate what I want, but you shpuld definitely cater to my vague, nebulous demands!Every time.>>96977076>Dr Who>scaryReal nonce hours
>>96977066Haemonculus Covens are pretty terrifying both in appearance and conceptually."Pray they don't take you alive."
>>96977115This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad
>>96977116>I don't like your ideas so you're a paedophileOk you're just insane
>>96977120You have zero ideas m8, just vague complaints. However, watching a kid's show - and finding it scary to boot - is incredibly suspect.
>>96977126You're taking a suggestion for a franchise as a personal insult for some reason. You can have the last word now because I know you want it.
>>96977050Sadly, I don't have a 3Dprinter, neither the money or space to have one.
>>96977117>"Pray they don't take you alive."That's a cosmetic difference, they will just revive you if they want. There is no escape from them, at all
>>96977077>All OG legions will get their own unique ranges/warbandsnope, iron hands won't, white scars won't, raven guard won't
I'm a rookie trying to iron out my Hearthband 2k list without spending too much, could someone tell me if this is looking reasonable? Here I'd have to only buy a Memnyr and 5 HG. I'd be inclined to swap out the 3 Steeljacks for another 3 Pioneers for mission play. What do you think?>Kahl is leading the 10 HG>EC is leading the 5 HG>Buri is sticking with Berserkers for precision. But I'm unconvinced, should I swap him for Uthar for the free CP instead?
>>96977135return on investment is that much poorer if they had to revive you to be the part of new living furniture collection
>>96977135Humans dissolve in the warp pretty fast though so if you kill yourself early enough in the invasion they won't have enough time to siphon your soul back into a pain engine or anything when they get back to the dark city. It's only Eldar that have truly immortal souls.
>>96977140yes, they willaside from Deldar, 40k is complete. They are the last thing left to update. GW has no choice but to go all out on subfactions/new factions
>>96977103yeah I've seen shit like this pop up
>>96977141Uthar is better generally than Buri, but they do very, very different things. I can't see much reason to run 2 sagitaurs, one is enough to split warriors if you need it and they unfortunately compare badly to the Kapricus.
>>96977148It doesn't look like this is a problem for them at all. They gather dead all the same for experimentation
>>96977153Grey Knights, Custodes, and most of the Chaos Warbands are far from complete. Not to mention Imperial Agents if we are pretending that's a real codex.
>>96977153hrudsome rangda survivors cellsactual alien kabal, maybe bundled with the above since tau are now mechs and not xeno-soupdark mech(+chaos votann auxiliary) if we want to throw chaos a bone
>>96977153No, they won't, gw will simply waste time RE-updating everything else or adding more shit to the important factions than exploring the irrelevants.
>>96977159Thanks, I run 2 Sagis because I just happen to have two of them. Would you recon swapping one for Uthar would work? Or should I just pick up a Kapri?
>>96977177I think you could swap one for Uthar without issue.
>>96977131>as a personal insultNo, I'm insulting you for being a retarded ideasguy without even having the good graces to come up with an actual idea. You're an even lower form of life than even the ideasguy, you're a vibesguy.
>>96977181Thanks a lot, anon
>>96977140They will once their primarch returnsYes, even the dead ones
>>96977066so you're probably looking for something more abstract. Wrong setting for that bud.
>>96977159ive seen people run 2 sagis to deliver zerk since you kinda do need a kamikaze melee unit as you can't throw swordjacks at everything
>>96977169>actual alien kabal, maybe bundled with the above since tau are now mechs and not xeno-soupCyber-fleshcrafted aliens as a slave army to DE
>>96977194>something more abstractTzeentch demons if GW werent cowards
>>96977200that's just coven with extra steps but i agree, we need more freaky shit instead of just dude-big dudes-floaty baloon boys in 2 flavours. Give me circular saws for hands on a cyber-drider bodybase
>>96977189Haemonculus Covens gonna bring Jaghatai Khan back from the dead just for a laugh and it's going to go horribly wrong for them when they accidentally return another Primarch.
>>96977207Soon (tm)
>>96977208They'll turn him into a biketaur. He'll be q shitty resculpt of Kragnos
How viable is tau oops all battlesuits? I don't want to run a single infantry or artillery unit
>>96977215>He'll be q shitty resculpt of KragnosPLEASE, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I NEED THIS, PLEASE FUCKING DO THIS GW.
>>96977189their primarchs won't return
Is it copium to think that this was going to be a covens Pain Engine at some point
>>96977221Perfectly viable. You have a dedicated detachment for it, and it works nicely in Mont'ka as well. You have a full range of alternatives from small cheapo stealth suit units, swiss-army knife crisis suits and lots of firepower in broadsides and riptides. Flamer crisis suits can markerlight for other units, and stealth suits obviously make for great spotters for the heavy hitters.
>>96977234I mean I thought the same thing but idk what is or isnt legends for drukhari rn
>>96977229We will see.
>>96977229They already are, with more being foreshadowed
>>96977234I feel like you've got it backwards: they took the old pain engine frame and built a necron around it
>>96977224Careful what you wish for
>>96977252They seem to do that a lot. Like the venom crawler to the psychophage. It's probably just a big time saver to reuse a "skeleton" to digitally sculpt on top of for posing.
>>96977238Thanks for the detailed response! I have some crisis suits to paint.
>>96977234I can see it
>>96977234They DID name three brand new pain engine types in their codex that have never appeared before and have no models. So something might be in the works.
>>96977257It's a huge time-saver to just repose/rework an existing framework, yeah. It's how monster hunter pumps out so many different yet similarly shaped monsters in their games: once you figure out the base frame you can glue whatever the hell kind of iteration on the idea you want
>>96977264if these are made i'd suspect they'd be replacing court of the archon as a mini-haemonculus-court or just rakarth's retinue with maaaybe an option to buy them in single units to run separately
>>96977234Sounds like a kitbashing project in the making

Replying to this from another thread>Hey secondary, the empire is 1 million planets. The range in characterization is so vast you can have the empire be the bad guys and the good guys in the same setting. There are space marines who are such dogooders they make superman look like a prick, and chapters so fucking evil they could make cannibal chaos worshippers look like a reasonable option.But there's nothing that makes the different space marine chapters that are presented in the setting feel different. At most there's superficial stuff like Dark Angels sharing a tribal culture but so do other chapters. The inquisition are also pretty much the same wherever you go even if they have different factions. Warhammer is a setting that seems large on the surface but in reality every planet is a copy pasted hive world and every marine chapter is just ultramarines+some shitty gimmick.
>>96977288I am definitely ready for the triumphant return of DOOMRIDER
>>96977342Captain Sicarius is 85 pts per the latest Munitorum Field Manual, but the all-new Cato Sicarius is costed at 120 pts, the same as a Blade Champion.
>>96977285There have been exactly zero leaks about any upcoming DE kits besides the Malys one like eight months ago. Even the only rumor from a reliable source had only heard about a new Archon coming.The entire Dark Eldar range all got pulled off of store shelves and liquidated into the Realspace Raid battle box to try to empty out their stock though. The range is basically completely sold out. Ngw has made no attempt to replace it. What that means for the future of the faction is up for debate.
is there a more up to date repository of codex scans? OP is missing a couple

Varro Tigurius, Chief Librarian of the Ultramarines Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes, has his own Combat Patrol. Why doesn't your favorite Librarian have his own Combat Patrol?
>>96977170>gw will simply waste time RE-updating everything else or adding more shit to the important factions than exploring the irrelevants.That's not what they are doing since like 7th edition. Which is why microfactions and new factions like Squats, admech, Genestealers, Monogod legions, fucking kroot and Tempestus Scions even keep getting content
>>96977371Which ones are missing still?
>>96977379RIP
>>96977379I don't care enough about space marine librarians to have a favorite one.

>>96977415People like to jack off to things that look cute and sexy. Why are you surprised that porn artists would rather drawing that looks sexy instead of awful ghoul shit that GW comes up with?Like do remember that modern Lelith according to GW's official art, looks like a 80 year old crackhead granny with a jew nose.While Malys in official art looks like a parody of a MtF tranny.

>>96977567This reads more like that meme with an angry woman pointing at a confused cat.
My iron father feirros i finished the other day, very happy with how the head turned out i normally suck at bare heads.need to buy some more Iron Hands transfers to put one on his kneepad tho. Also does anybody have advice for writing letters? I want to write " feirros" on the silver bit on the leg, i hear markers are good for this?
>>96977600Looking great man, love the little detailed painting on the Light fixture above his head. You nailed it brother!
Went over my gladiator, added transfers, markings and a lot of battle damage and repainted the base so it doesn't look as flat, I think I did ok for less than 30 minutes of work
>>96977380>Tempestus ScionsAquilons...and...?
>>96977600Microns or the equivalent are very good for lettering on models, the ends are minuscule. a 005 is 0.2mm
>>96977608straight of the factory line vs One space wolves pissuplooks good m8, im dreading doing my vehicles for iron hands purely because they are so expensive.
>>96977608I personally think you went a little overboard with the battle damage but it still looks goodIf you want to push it even further, do some brighter metal spots inside the current ones
>>96977234>Is it copium to think that this was going to be a covens Pain Engine at some pointno, it's delusion
>>96977608Looks great Wolfbro, I love the harsh weathering.
>>96977583
>>96977628Nah the genestealer guy is the angry woman even if you flip it
>>96977608Looks like a toy to looks like a tank. I dig it.
>>96977608How does everyone make their paint look so smooth on vehicles? It is done using an airbrush?
>>96977617ty anon! i didnt know the name of the pen so this will make doing purity seal text a lot easier aswell. probably going to get a 0.2 and 0.3
>>96977153>Has no choiceThis general really is infested with retards who can't spin apples in their heads. They could all-in on subfactions, it's possible. I think that would lead to a death spiral, like when TSR proliferated settings instead of supporting core books. Time will tell, and no one here has any clue what 40k will look like in 3 years.
>>96977655isnt the rumour that 11th edition is going to be lots of new vehicle models? I know a new rhino is supposed to be coming.its why im holding off on buying any vehicles atm, with the exception of a redemptor dreadnought.
>>96977526>Space Marines Know No Fear>But they do have emotions of utter terror and are to emotional lobotomized they don't understand what they're feeling when they're afraid.I feel like loads of, well not people but secondaries, don't get this.
>>96977622I think I did too, It lacks oil marks and other type of weathering but I don't have all my painting stuff rn>>96977650I use stippling for big flat area
>>96977668>I know a new rhino is supposed to be comingBased on what, exactly?
>>96977676Its a literal shit box, you know they are prepping an upgrade.
I play Dark Eldar and I have a porn addiction.
>>96977682Wow if those are your models anon they are top notch!
>>96977676rumours ofcourse, also the fact its pretty obvious GW are trying to remove all old marine models. Land raider and rhino models are 25 and 23 years old anon.
>>96977676OId ones are old as fuck and GW is in the 'getting every old and resin model a new plastic one since we have better tech'. Once every model they currently sell gets updated then it would be interesting to see what GW does to keep shilling space marines. My beats a lot of warrior cultures/ famous iconic warrior armour get space marine standins
>>96977695also to piggyback of this, it also gives us a good idea of what future models for other ranges will look like the carnifex model for tyranid is 20 years old
>>96977682Nice models anon, but i would hate to be a grey knight or dark eldar collector knowing that a big refresh is just around the corner for them lol.
>>96977673No know no fear just sounds silly.
>>96977685put the trip back on
>>96977701People were aganist new Carnifexes because the new ones might not be as good a kit as the current one. I think judging by the new nids we saw I'd say any update GW makes for nids would be very good. Kinda hope the necromund team makes them though the malstrains were genius
>>96977695>>96977693Isn't the Impulsor and the Repulsor the new Rhino and Landraider for Primaris? When the last firstborn are gone they won't need rhinos in space marines anymore and can give them all to sisters and chaos.
>>96977721Man you never get bored of the same old tired comments do you?
>>96977727Whoever at GW does the designs for necrons and nids seems to always do a good job. I know valrak said we are supposed to be getting a new red terror model so i cant wait to see that.Now if they would just give us new gargoyles models.
>>96977710I feel like all of the new Dark Eldar models they have released recently (Incubi, Mandrakes, Drazhar, Archon, Malys) are pretty cohesive with the old aesthetic. The old models look great still and I don't think most players won't mind mixing new and old together.Grey Knights are another matter. They are probably getting a huge facelift and will only make the old models look even more badly proportioned when they are fielded side by side.
>>96977736>Red Terror>gets its signature "if all 4 attacks hit your entire model is gone no wounds no saves no nuffin"insert gross image of a nid rubbing hands with tongue out to the side
>>96977194Dem imps be vibin
They did such a good job with these guys I'd say its impossible for them to fuck up a new red terror. I kinda hope we get a new Hive Tyrant though
>>96977342Blade Champion is still better I think. Reactive move is good but ultimately I think advance and charge and reroll charges is more straightforwardly useful. The blade champions squad should ALWAYS get into the target it needs too, and if you are using Cato to reactive move onto an objective and explode I think its a waste of the points.
>>96977616Scions, command squad, taurox>>96977655>This general really is infested with retards who can't spin apples in their heads.yeah, like you>Time will tell, It already told. Those new kits will never again need an upgrade, like old manlets without abdomen needed. GW understands this which is why they push hard for subfactions for editions already and try to force people into as many factions as possible
>>96977751>>96977744i prefer flyers but id probably buy it just to paint it kek. Parasite of mortrex is my favourite model by far tho
>>96977767>which is why they push hard for subfactions for editions alreadyHas this happened with anything that isn't space marines?

>>96977802Is that your girlfriend?
>>96977800/lit/ has a weird disdain for genre fiction, even within the fantasy and sci-fi threads. Admittedly, there is a lot of truly awful slop in the so-called speculative fiction genre.

Looks like they will get Iron Warriors and DarkAdmech/Lost and the Damned as a separate faction in 11thVotann have Space Dwarfs and Robots
>>96977809Lol at that graphic, but it's missing the new terminators and Titus squad as well as the new Xenos characters they just announced.
I want to take the balloons off and orky-up this ironclad then put badrukk and some flashgitz on it. Make a proppa ork navy

I'm currently trying to tack all the dangling crew to their boats for some better pictures. There's three extra dudes on every boat that are just decorative, does any other army get so many bonus minis?
>>96977850That poor cracka in the back!
>>96977850Deldar is the transport faction and their transports are kind of their centerpiece model as well, so all of them are designed like dioramas.
>>96977767How could you possibly know that the new kits will never need to be changed, recut, or upgraded? Just like 8th edition would be the final edition? Your confidence is the evidence of your stupidity.
>>96977802What purple did you use on the skin? Was it a bssecoat or a wash?
>>96977771Still trying to figure out how to paint the wings on nid flyers

>>96976658Sometimes I just have an episode and paint for like 3-4 hours in complete hyper focus silence.I am actively trying to stop because it's fucking autistic
>>96977880There will be no new plastic injection moulding tech. Mini scale and proportions were fixed. There is nothing to improve there. Old manlet models looked like shit so people eagerly replaced them with newer and superior ones. This won't happen again. Even if GW releases newer models of already updated existing stuff, people simply won't bother to replace them again. GW has to make new stuff so new factions, new units and new subfactions. Upgraded units are already done forStarter box sets exist to force marinefags, the lowest common denominator faction everyone has, to start collecting other factions, which is explicitly what GW is going for, since this is the only option they have left.>Your confidence is the evidence of your stupidity.I'm always right, about everything. Low confidence is for cucks
>>96977930>focusing on your hobby is seemingly badyou need a break from 4chan
>>96977921I wish i could watch it
>>96977931What was the date of the last major injection molding technology breakthrough? And when did GW adopt it into their production?What's the cutoff date?Are you saying we don't need anymore Primaris Lieutenants?
>>96977941yes
Ok I was wrongflawless blades are kind of cool
>>96977931>low confidence is for cucksLel I like how you indirectly called him a cuck. That was a cool use of language. I'm stealing that
>>96977809>IG has Cadia and Krieg right now and Catachans in worksCan Krieg even work solo? I'm pretty sure they still need some Cadian/Attillan units.>Tau got huge Auxiliary refresh and we know that more is coming from that rumor engineFair point on Kroot>Necrons are getting cults and more techmagesI highly doubt there's going to be a Destroyer Cult Codex any time soon. Being able to spec into destroyers more heavily is way different than a full on unique chapters >Orks got Squid based subfactionNot really. At most they were an extremely minor expansion on Snakebitez (two named characters), with every other snagga being easily included on every Klan. But then 10th did away with Klans entirely and they're just units. To the point other Detachments get more use out of peppering in a few Snaggas than Da Hunt. They were certainly close to a subfaction and maybe that was GW's original intent, but if so they abandoned the concept before they even got amy upgrade sprues out.>Chaos keeps got all 4 separate Monogod Legions, got Traitor Guard and a variety of Cultists. Good job you listed more space marines>Looks like they will get Iron Warriors and DarkAdmech/Lost and the Damned as a separate faction in 11thWe'll see. I can't help but wonder if Vaushterr flopped, seeing as his Cogs have about as much presence as the ynnari>Votann have Space Dwarfs and RobotsNot separate factions anymore than Gravis is a subfaction of space marinesIn fact a lot of these you seem to be confusing "options" with "subfactions"
>>96977839Slap a mangler squig on the front and it could work as a Kill Rig if the sizes are comparable
>corsairs still no longer on webstoreWhat the FUCKKK let me buy the space elves, GW!
>>96977727The Genestealer and gaunts updates were fine. But in general, the update sucked. The psychophage is some chaos model they dragged to the wrong folder, biovore and pyrovore are from a canned vespid expansion. The Hive Tyrant look-alikes are unnecessary over gribbles kits, and single load out monopose warrior primes are antithesis to what I want in a kit. Even the sculpts I'm fine with, the kits are a hobby downgrade. Genestealers can't all be built with implant attacks because it's 10 tentacle heads, 10 normal heads, then a split between implant attacks and fleshhooks. Not that it matters in 10e, but I'm not playint 10e. And there's no scything talon option for the GS, either. Similarly no adrenal glands or toxin sacs or anything for the kits. I'm not gonna say the old gaunts and old GS didn't need an update, but I'm gonna say I'm gutted they didn't get an update in 2016 instead. Tau Firewarriors and Pathfinder kits were the best update to any sprue of the early 2000's, every update post 8th edition is just robbing the hobbyist. Painters are eating fine, at least.
>>96977968I was thinking about running it as a battlewagon
>>96977971Just forget it and buy some Marines, they are way cooler.

>>96977981In other words, just barely. Any sentinels or tank crews are still going to be Cadian without kitbashing. I'll admit I wouldn't be surprised if they try to go full subfaction with em eventually, but I'm not holding my breath for those upgrade sprues and new rules. Nor would I expect Attilans, Catachans, etc to follow suit instead of just being options for all Guard armies
>96977800>commie bugman globohomo gobbledygook >a story of humanityLOL!Not even worth a (you), offtopic shitposter-kun
>>96978015>entire galaxy united against one common foeIn the sense that it would be an Imperium wet dream. But yes it was amusing that they were still picked off by the reigning baryonic species of the universe. If you're considering the "insignificant backwater" to be our Milky Way, of course.
>>96978026If it so hurts your autism, use armoured sentinels and don't put the tank commander out of his hatch. There, now they're Krieg vehicles.
>>96978015Don't engage the nomodels tertiary, anon. You're better than that.
Am I the only one that hates how these space marine elite squads that are just regular power armour dudes on bigass 40mm bases and 3-6 dudes have become the standard?
>>96978026>>96978061They'll probably do Mars Alpha pattern Russes for them one day since they're Reddit's favorite regiment
>>96978064Not sure he even qualifies as a Tertiary as he not only has no models or literature. He may fall under Quaternary status.
>>96978081Those were already used for 30k. Can't use the same thing in both. Otherwise the bean counters burst into flames and burn the company down.
>>96978103Nah the HH Russes are slightly different
>>96978061It's not a matter of my autism anon, I'm pointing out that no other faction has the level of attention as space marine subfactions and they won't for a while yet if all they're getting is some horses and a single named commissar. Compare Black Templars to Dark Angels to Space Wolves and notice how many unique kits, upgrade sprues, and rules they get. Pretty much the only thing they share is intercessors and termies, and both of those have upgrade sprues to make em unique. Now look at Cadians vs Krieg. Do Krieg's death riders even have unique rules or are they purely a rough rider reskin? Because if they're a reskin then that means the only thing Krieg has is their Lord Solar swapout. Meaning they have less unique models than Raptors, a non-subfaction space marine chapter
>>96977921>youtube series that goes over how to do exactly thatI have morbid curiosity, give me a hint
>>96977972>The psychophage is some chaos model they dragged to the wrong folder, biovore and pyrovore are from a canned vespid expansionThats entirely baseless and also extremely silly
>>96977800>*is the height and pinnacle of HFY in your path*Thanks for inverse-selling me the book, I will never touch that.
>>96978111>Do Krieg's death riders even have unique rulesYes they do.
>>96978081Leman Russ’ are allegedly getting dropped since their new kit is for Heresy. And the Rogal Dorn will fully take its place with a second kit

>>96978147>no yearummm thats from 2006
>>96978147Not a crease on it, never even opened or read.
>>96978134So that brings them up to Raptors tier instead of below-Raptors tier. Still hardly impressive. I anticipate Corsairs, if they even become a thing, will be on about the same level as them/snaggas too: a named character or two that can also be built as a generic HQ (i.e. Prince Yriel with a nameless Pirate Prince/ss alt-build), some new elite troops, a squad of bikes, MAYBE a gunboat if GW is feeling zesty, and the KT repackaged as troops.
>>96978111>Black Templars to Dark Angels to Space WolvesAll who share their vehicles with Ultramarines... It's like they don't have any units of their own.
>96978147>secondary material based on secondary material>not a model in sight So yes, you're an off-topic quaternary
>samefagging this hard
>>96977385I love how bro does not gaf
>>96977397EC is the only "female" space marines I'll accept becausd you already know at least 5% of those flamers are troons
>>96978192The difference is those tanks aren't uniquely ultramarine and any tank crew can be fitted with upgrade sprue parts. This isn't the case with Krieg, least of all because there are no krieg upgrade sprues. Maybe they'll get there, maybe not, but unfortunately other armies arent as modular as Space Marines so I don't anticipate them getting that level of attention.It'd be easiest with orks and eldar, but they'll never bother to release a kit with special bits for all the unique klans amd major craftworlds, much less give them their own books with bespoke detachments. At most you'll get a detachment slightly flavored towards your subfaction of choice and maybe some flavorful army selections if you're lucky.

>>96977077>There will be more IG regimentsI just want the OLD ones back at this point.>no Mordian, Valhalla, Tallarn>no Praetorian>no Vostroyan>not even Steel Legion
>>96975359But that's not why I play imperium. I play imperium because I like having normal dudes (and dudettes) fighting horrors way above them. Also fuck marines.
>>96976994I WANT LOST AND THE DAMNED BACK>inb4 use CSM Codex with Traitor Guard/CultistsITS NOT THE SAME
>>96978418“Just play Imperial Guard with Chaos Icons bro.”
>>96978346go back to your discord mutant
>>96978431yes? What do you think a real traitor guard army would look like lmao
>>96978268I like how even in a made up wishlist there's still marines in every release and Grey Knights and Dark Eldar get shafted again.
>>96978277Every supposedly “compatible with 40K” Heresy plastic has been removed from the game and the current Russ kit is ancient. You’re coping.
>>96978403Yee I can't wait to have another mandatory named character required to make the army work!
>>96978439You know you're welcome to join the discord, I will even voice chat with you later if you want to hash out our differences and maybe come to an amicable solution so we can avoid thread dysfunction.
>>96978444War machines of the lost and the dammed.
>>96978416Playing IG is peak HFY
>>96978453It's what marinepiggies deserve
>>96978471This happens to every faction because 10th was written by morons.
>>96978230Nice. I’m working on a fucking diesel. Made no progress on the dreadnought yesterday evening.
>>96978416>>96978465Actual NPC posts
>>96978446Sick reddit meme friendo! You really proved them wrong!
>>96978444They wouldn't have Commissars, probably not Enginseers, Psykers, Scions, abhumans. At most, it's all "Cadians".
>>96978481Nice blogslop, loser
>>96978453The army works without calgar fine retard.
>>96978446I have tons of Solar Auxillia with lasrifles...I mean, guardsmen with lasguns.
>>96978497Thanks bb
>>96978497I enjoy when our peers give us insight into their daily lives, It brings us all a little closer together.
>>96978496Ironic, because all chaos guard kits have always kept commissars around
>>96978495>No argumentI accept your concession
>>96978511put the trip back on
>>96978506You can't play ultramarines without the character circus. You can't play any chapter without their named character without handicapping yourself for no reason.
>>96978507Cheating, those Auxilla have 4+ armor ya know not 5+.
>>96978230NiceNightlords ftw
>>96978516>no argumentno need to argue with retards speculating based on nothing
>>96978518You're really a hateful person
>>96978418I think they will be the new 11th faction and not DarkAdmech on it's own. DarkAdmech will just be part of LatD. It will make for a more unique, more versatile faction that isn't just a direct copy of an Imperial faction but spikey. There are so many LotD units even now faction basically exists in all but name
>>96978444NTA but copying Darktide's classifications mite b cool>scabs are your traitor guardsmen, predominately ranged and the cmosest to direct guard analogs with their specialists >dregs are your cultists, they're meant to get to get stuck in melee and have unique chaosy powers, maybe add some mortal sorcerers as well>access to demons from your god of choice and some daemonhostsYou could probably ditch the poxwalkers/chaff entirely, throw in some chaos tanks, and call it a day
>>96978519Yes you can without a problem
>>96978519You can play whatever however if u arent a compfag no?
>>96978471Is this, like, an insult or something?
>>96978556I don't get the obsession with LatD as an army by the fanbase. Like, Imperial Guard has the average joes struggling against the horrors of the galaxy vibe. But LatD is just humans slaves to the will of alien star gods, and GSC already do that better. They even have brood brothers for a military themed version with tanks.
>>96978569>>96978577>without handicapping yourself for no reason
>>96978581YesMarineless cucks seethe at how much good shit us marinechads get every release
>>96978556>There are so many LotD units even now faction basically exists in all but nameThat is exactly the reason why its never becoming its own army and will forever be a detachment of its own in CSM codex.
>>96978593Maybe the reason is fun or they just dont like the named modelsLike unless youre playing comp you can do whatever, who cares
>>96978590Same with LatD just the horrors are giant genocide machines without spikes.
>>96978556>AoS-esque soup faction where I get 20% of what I want mixed in with 80% of what I don'tugh
>>96978596>xhe's going to buy the grrlboss command squad What a well trained lil paypiggy
>>96978624>buyPrinterless cucks seething yet again
Trying too hard
>>96978628Even wasting printer resin on that slop is a massive L
>>96978628Why would I want cancerous flakes of plastic filling my lungs? Enjoy your cheap plastic and million dollar chemo bills.
>>96978590Their lack is annoying since it's like the most common threat Imperium has to face and yet it lacks representation on tabletopChaos being only about Marines is extremely boring and needlessly limited as well. It's absurd that it's "Chaos Space Marines" Codex and not just "Chaos" Codex. If CSM get to have their own faction, other Chaos stuff should get their own, just like IG, Admech and SoB don't have to share a book with Marines.>>96978614That's what LatD has to suffer now, being few units stuck with CSM
>>96978640>>96978641see >>96978630
>>96978645See >>96978630
>>96978640>>96978641Cope
>>96978590>But LatD is just humans slaves to the will of alien star gods, and GSC already do that better. They even have brood brothers for a military themed version with tanks.Because the hive mind isn't a chaos god and we need a traitor guard/cults/maybe throw in some alien cultists like slaanesh worshiping sslyth to bring it all together.
>>96978614>AoS-esque soup factionI thought AoS gimmick is having multiple barely supported microfactions which are made up out of a single unit stretched thin, like Slayers
>>96978656Sounds extremely boring and redundant
>>96978641Considering you’re alive in 2025 your body is already filled to the brim with microplastics so
>>96978604Many units are dogshit unless you take their named character. Playing infernus squads without He'stan feels like ass.
>>96978680I did a special Plasticide detox and my sperm count doubled.
>>96978660That too, but I was thinking of Gloomspite Gitz where you have a bunch of microfactions with some being very neglected (spiders)Also leaks suggest Fyreslayers are getting consolidated with normal dwarfs soon
>>96978641>million dollar chemo bills.First world countries have free healthcare.
>>96978661>it's redundant because I think alien parasites and chaos traitors are the same thing
>>96978699>these spiky humans are different from these spiky humans
>>96978695Spiderfang refresh is coming, I can feel it
>>96978693>I drank a shitload of sperm and now I have more sperm in my bodyYeah makes sense
>>96978680>you’re alive in 2025>he doesn't know Wake up!
>>96978699>alien parasites and chaos are the same thingCorrect.
>>96978702yes
Is Tacticus a decent game yet?
>>96978702>>96978713>"I like thing">"fuck you I DON'T like thing, even though it has no bearing on the thing that I personally like"Why is this general like this. Just go play with your purple rape monsters, maybe jack off to some hentai with the monster and impregnation and human female tags, genecuck.
>>96978720Calm down anon, I'm not even shitting on traitor guard as a faction idea, I'm just saying chaos are mere alien parasites and chaos cults are conceptually identical to GSC
>>96978332Priming and basecoating can be done en masse very easily via airbrush
>>96978720This is what you did when you suggested LotD instead of DarkMech ftr
>>96978726LatD*
>>96978720>cries about cucks while bsgging to sit in the chaos stoolLmao
>>96978642What could be a good CSM army theme is having elite CSM, individually better than loyalists but fewer in number, leading a disposable mob of cultists and LatD traitors like shooty traitor guardsmen, mellee beastmen, tarpit zombies etc. Also with a contingent of unstable but powerful daemon units.That would make Chaos play much differently than "Loyalist Space Marines but with spikes".It would be like having GSC being led by quasi Custodes and having terminators and the 4 Gods units as special expensive units.But that would make the game less space marine-y.
>>96978726That was me and not that anonDarkAdmech would be included into LatD. Even consist a huge part of it since faction would start with Vashtorr and DarkAdmech release wave, while already existing LatD kits and also Tzaangors and Poxwalkers would be just included with them for now.
>>96978661As if we already don't have a bunch of boring and redundant armies
>>96978752I dont actually play 40k at all but I thought CSM did play uniquely from normal SMI thought they had like warp powers and shit
Souping is cool. Factions should be souped more desu, no need for so many separate ones
>>96978661>10 different space marine armies that are functionally the same, or homosexual
>>96978764each one of them is more unique and interesting than>guard but spikyget to kitbashing faggot
>>96978759>I dont actually play 40k at all butthat explains why you are here.
>>96978763i dont think souping should be forced, but a robust allies system is definitely needed
>>96978772the last time they tried that they released the worst edition this game ever saw
>>96978774Yeah nigga, because they fucking made Tau and Marines best friends who the FUCK was asking for that??? Take a simple concept and leave it to the fucking idiots over at GW game dev to completely FUCK IT UP. FUCK!
>>96978777That's not why decalmutant, but you only started plaguing this hobby last year so you wouldn't know anyways
>>96978767>unique>here's my army of blue space marines, it's better than that other army of blue space marines
>>96978768Correct
>>96978784Who is decalmutant? Did your mother forget to bring you your pills today?
>>96978784That's not me you retard, your radar is as shit as ever.
>>96978767not at all, it's explicitly, exactly this same>space marines but furry>space marines but vampires>space marines but decaying>space marines but gay>space marines but spiky
>>96978785>here's my army of guard>it's better than that other army of guard
>>96978772>>96978774>>96978777Couldn’t you just take the frame of the alliance system that they created and just make some home rules to kind of fix it a bit?
>>96978792But wait decalnigger I thought you said he had to be a janny because he was so good at identifying your easily identifiable posts
>>96978793Sorry bud but you're just wrongEnjoy never getting an army and crying about the prospect of having to commit to hobbying in this hobby
>>96978793I mean, considering that the main forces of the Imperium are just a bunch of different supersoldier armies with different themes yeah that makes sense
>>96978772I actually think the old WFB system where its just percent based its best and each army has an allies table. Simple and effective. Keep the 10th edition balancing lever of allied units can't use your special detachment stratagems and they will almost always be bad. Keep it pretty restrictive as well.Like Bretonnians could take 25% of their army as Empire units, and any gunpowder units caused the entire army to lose the blessing of the lady.
>>96978794Yes
>>96978772Just make an allies table that's a Legends only rule. That way WAACfags dont get their 'balanced' game ruined but casual games have the option for fluffy lists.
>>96978806you are off your rockers if you think we're not getting traitor guard at some point, this game will probably go on for another 50 years. plus I bet you were one of those stupid fucks who said we were never getting GSC or squats or plastic sisters back in the day.
>>96978759SM covers so much ground now, you can have a SM that does everything besides chaff spam. The fact that most CSM units are also T4 W2 3+ save is already damning, but their weapons profile are a bit of the same. In the previous edition, we have things like And They Shall Know No Fear rule for the loyalists only, and Veterans of the Long War for some CSM units, but now since rules are just "reroll this roll", CSM and SM play very very similarly. CSM is basically they loyalists minus the cool new toys, but also minus the warp fuckery that was at least there in previous editions.Really, a squad of Sword Brethren and a squad of Berserkers are quite similar.
>>96978806Spiky guard already exists, your idea of 'hobbying' is in itself like a guy with a 3d printer claiming he is the true hobbyist. The real hobby was always very simply buying the kit, assembling and then gaming. All this extra stuff is because you feel shame as a grown man playing with toys trying to mkae it something serious.But at least you're not a manchild who plays with legos.
>>96978809Percentage is too difficult for the little timmies.
>>96978818KT already has blooded
>>96978818>You're sooooo wrong>you're SOOOO wrong you must be one of the retards who doubted things that were coming clear as daytraitor guard never everkeep crying
>>96978826Trying too hard
>>96978824you are completely neglecting Dark Pacts
Space Marines should be able to take eldar allies.
>>96978826Nigga said “true hobbyist” lmfao
>>96978831oh they are coming and your stupid ass will be added to the long list of idiots here on 40kg who said YOU ARE NEVER GETTING _____. your whore mother will be proud!
>>96978838I mean, that makes more sense lorewise than fucking Votann Battle Brothers did last edition.
>>96978838Necrons should be able to take AdMech as allies because they think they're cute
>>96978827But 10th HAS percentage based allies. In all the themed soup detachments it says "Your army cannot have more than 50% of it's points as Harlequins" or whatever. Demon soup, Agents soup, Admech/Knights soup, Brood Brothers soup, thats how it all works already.
Traitor guard already exists btw they just don't have a separate codex yet.
>>96978824Black Templar can do chaff pretty well.
>>96978801Good point, probably a false flag to cover his trail.
>>96978859Because then I could play two armies with my guard and use either rule set instead of buying a second guard army....that's spiky
>>96978851Necrons should be able to take Eldar as allies because they fought alongside each other in the War in Heaven at one point.
>>96978848There is already a (few) bits of new lore of Votann chilling in Imperial space mining when the sector is attacked and they fight alongside the Imperium against the invaders. You can't really say the same for Eldar even though yes they do ally with the Imperium as well.
>>96978806>Sorry bud but you're just wrongHow so? There is zero difference between marine with an additional theme on top and traitor guard>Enjoy never getting an armywell some Chaos army in 11th is coming anyway>crying about the prospect of having to commit to hobbying in this hobbyEvery single unit of mine is converted and kitbashed in some way, which is why it's taking fucking ages for me to finish anything. There is always something more to add before painting them. Even started to disassemble my completed ones just to convert them further
>>96978704Damn if that works my shit would be so virile I could probably knock up your dad
>>96978837Wow. Lethal Hits or Sustained Hits at a risk of D3 Mortal Wounds. While some of the 43 loyalists detachment have those for free if you include some unique character.I think GW is neglecting th dark pacts the most. It shouldve been daemons summoning, or in battle upgrades that are not just Lethal/Sustained Hits and Devastating Wounds.Shit like>This unit have Fly>Add 1 to the Toughness Value>Oopsy Chaos Spawny>3+ invuln save, but 1 MW for every 1 rolled
>>96978861As a pure footslogging, mellee centric BT army, our "chaff" are a 20 man squad of 12 giga nigga marines and 8 of the same but with less armor.Our "chaff" is a fucking blender, especially when led by the new Execrators.
Is this a decent 1k Death Guard list?I’m a bit unsure about Typhus and the Poxwalkers>10x Plague Marines + 1x Biologis Putrifier + Rhino>5x Plague Marines + 1x Tallyman>3x Deathshroud Terminators + 1x Lord of Virulence >20 Poxwalkers + 1x Typhus
>>96978577The game doesn't function without a comp fag bend. It's designed that way to force these purchases. The game has always been about selling models, but never before has the power creep been so blatant. You literally cannot have a functional game unless you emulate tournie faggotry. You're often halving the number of dice you're rolling vs an opponent who just bought a new release because they thought it was cool. The game doesn't work. If you want something casual, play something else. This is what GW wants and what the pigs are paying for.
>>96978928You've never played a game in your life, you didn't need to waste a short paragraph to tell us that
Since we're on the subject, how would you fix this chart
Bake the thread.
>>96978895You should make more of an effort to keep your texture paste off the rim of your base. If you ever get texture paste somewhere it shouldn't be you can just wipe it away with a wet brush. I also don't know that you necessarily want a transport for 1k even though you're very slow
>>96978928All wargames are kinda shitty like thatIve played KT a couple times and it was aightIdk I just homerule shit all the time
>>96978895The only real way to improve the list is more Deathshroud Terminators and Demon Engines, but you can just get those when upgrading to 2k points.
>>96978952Ditch the gradient of allyship and make it a simple yes/no with a restriction like can't be more than 40% of your points total.

>>96978937I've played more games than you, and better ones. I know some people who eke out a good time with 10e in their little 4 person pod, but I don't know why people insist on sweeping floors with a paintbrush. There's much better things you could do with your citadel miniatures. Enjoy your treadmill, they stopped making things for me.
>>96975359I play thousand sons and drukhari.Thousand sons are very pretty. That’s mostly it. I also love the themes of the tragic fallen hero. They just wanted to uplift humanity, and instead they got burned by the imperium and tricked by a god. Also plays into the whole hubris of man thing as Magnus literally waltzes into Tzeentch’s clutches because he refuses to believe anything can be better than him.For drukhari. I like space pirates. That’s it. Goth alien pirates that feed on pain and live in an inter-dimensional version of Night City, extra cool. Mos Eisley and the hutts were my favorite part of Star Wars and this is what Scum and Villainy looks like in 40K
>>9697904010th isn't even bottom 2 in terms of editions
>>96979060Why does 7th and 9th being unplayable dogshit justify the state of things? In terms of a blistering release cycle that makes it impossible to get anything painted and to the table by the time you're left in the dirt, it might be the worst. 7e formations are a strong competitor though.
>>96979114No, even with that specific issue 6/7 was way worse. They even refreshed the Tac squads just to include a new gun that did nothing but counter all the busted MCs they kept dropping
>>96979114>blistering release cycle that makes it impossible to get anything painted and to the table by the time you're left in the dirt1. paint faster2. dont be a waacfag whos mad your units arent peaking in the balance ferris wheel

why do people on tg keep warning me about starting IG? because they are usually last to get a new codex, if they get one at all?
>>96977680No, theyre not. Somethings aren't getting upgrades ever until theyre sunset. 11e marines wont have them and chaos will use the deimos pattern box with a sprue insert. Same with sisters.
why does /tg/ keep warning me whenever I say that I am considering starting a astra militarum/IG army? they never say what's so terrible
why does /tg/ keep telling me not to sniff sweaty dark elf feet? it smells good I want to keep smelling it.
