its really pathetic when you think about it.
Doesnt help that the "athletes" look as bad as how you think they'd look.

Also 40k focusing more and more into this ruins the allure of the setting. Its no longer Archmagos Dominatus and his Mechanicus thralls facing off Groksmasha's Looting mobz, but Steve Neckbeard from team Dignitas and his AdMech vs John Doublechin from TSM's orks.
And in true GW fashion, this pivot to comppetitive "e"sports is hilariously outdated.

What are you talking about? You can run a pretty elite Votann army. They are very versatile. The most popular way is to run like 20 of their terminators with heroes and vehicles but also variety like pic related.

How dumb of an idea is it to run a semi-elite guard army using the datahseets that have 4+ armor saves (kasrkin, engineers, krieg weapons squads, etc)

>>
>>97104101
What do you mean by "is collecting worth it?"
What are your interests, what do you like and/or want to do?

No version of the Warhammer 40K game for the last 10 years has been worth playing. If you are looking to "play" GSC in 40K it will not be worth it.

They have a great model line. If you are looking to convert and paint it will be worth it.

They have some presence in the non-40K games that are worth playing. They are passable in Necromunda, but have old rickety rules that haven't been updated for the most contemporary version of the ruleset. They have one or maybe two teams in Kill Team (but are probably within a couple of years of their phase-out date?)
>>
>>97104131
I'm a 4th/5th editionlet being scammed into grabbing some minis by a friend who's grabbed a few kill team boxes, looking for a half interesting army to paint and plaster up with gubbins. It's that or mechanicus in terms of bein scammed by GW into buying some boxes of plastic crack.
>>
>>97104101
The nid part of genestealer cults is honestly the most boring part of the faction.

Most of the fun and joy will come from finding cool ways to proxy the hybrid/nid models as abhumans or mutants instead. It will then be sorely tested on the table when you proceed to lose your first five games figuring out movement and placement.

With all this in mind, GSC should never be your first army.

thats a new one. so hypothetically, if someone owns models but doesnt play games, thats still secondary-tier (or worse)?
>>
>>97104275
Secondary status has received a bump to its qualifications due to Warhammers rising popularity. You beed a minimum of 12 games a year to qualify and should be well on your way past the planning stages of your second army. I won’t get into the literature requirements as well as the Media/Cinematic consumption necessities.

chess pieces are most commonly made from wood

you cannot be a WAACfag in chess because by definition of a competitive game the objective is to win
warhammer is a loose rule system like your floppy anus, the objective is to have fun with your pals, you can ruin the enjoyment of others by using win at all cost methods

>How would you even achieve tournament games being "narrative" focused?
Give small bonuses (rerolls, first turn, etc) to factions depending of which factions wins the most.
For example if SM won 5 games, every imperials from that point have +1 for first turn rolls.
If you're orks or other xenos you can even decide to give your bonuses to another faction or your own, to tilt some tables.

>How would you "beatifully decorate" the tables when you might have to prepare terrain for tens of tables if it's a bigger tournament?
Skill issue. If you dont have the material to host a tournament, especially if you're GW, then dont host a tourney.
Otherwise ask for each player to provide a terrain or something. I've done a local small tourney with dozens of tables and each were extremely well decorated, with different themes and biomes.
>What is even wrong with the table you posted? That it's symmetrical? How would it be fair otherwise?
Implying a battlefield needs to be fair. Make it so you roll for table side. And maybe implement the idea above where if one factions wins x times, allied faction has +1 to that roll or something.
If you want to fight in a football field, then go do a Bloodbowl tournament. Terrain choice is an important part of battle. Also roll for how the deployment zone is set up, that will make it more dynamic where the same table can be played differently.

If all this takes too long for organisers to set up, then dont host a tourney.

>Give small bonuses (rerolls, first turn, etc) to factions depending of which factions wins the most.
Ah yes, you get fucked over because other people did well/bad, sounds great.
You aren't talking about a tournament, you're talking about some narrative event.

>For example if SM won 5 games, every imperials from that point have +1 for first turn rolls.
Do you even play the game? This is actually a nerf, going second is a big advantage in most scenarios.

>Implying a battlefield needs to be fair.
It's not a battlefield, it's a game that's supposed to be fair. Real battlefield isn't turn-based. In real battlefield infantry can't run through walls etc.
If you want to play narrative game where your orks assault IG outpost and get gunned down a'la omaha beach because you have no cover you're free to do so but it has nothing to do with fairness.

>If you want to fight in a football field
Are you implying the picture that was posted >>97103919 is like a football field? Do you even know the terrain rules?

>Also roll for how the deployment zone is set up, that will make it more dynamic where the same table can be played differently.
Nah, terrain needs to be defined because it's part of the balance. Too much terrain and melee armies can just walk up to you and slap you down. Not enough balance and shooting armies table you from across the table. You get le wacky layout with your terrible idea of random rolls and game is over turn 1 because you don't get enough cover and half of your army gets insta rekt. That's why the tournaments stopped doing player placed terrain, people won before game even started.

>If you dont have the material to host a tournament, especially if you're GW, then dont host a tourney.
>If all this takes too long for organisers to set up, then dont host a tourney.
Yes, let's raise the minimum requirements so our niche hobby is even more niche and only the big corpo dicksuckers are allowed to organize events. Great idea.

You've got two Haemonculi but only one unit of Wracks for them to lead. There's possibly a place for a solo haemon as a home objective sitter to passively generate pain tokens, but two of them doesn't give you two triggers of that ability. Besides, you have lots of Kabalites for stickying objectives already so you'd probably be better served with something to screen your backline like Mandrakes.

Its called an example, it could be a free reroll, a free CP, who cares? Just a small advantage.

>It's not a battlefield, it's a game that's supposed to be fair...
And this is the crux of the problem with tourneyfags. You guys shit and piss on what's fair while forgetting what's fun. This is a wargame, yet you guys want to make it look like a sport match.

>Are you implying the picture that was posted is like a football field?
It kinda looks like a flat, barren, perfectly symmetrical bloodbowl pitch really. Some even have built in lines.

>Nah, terrain needs to be defined because it's part of the balance
Once again, balance and fairness over fun. Truly a tourneyfag staple

>That's why the tournaments stopped doing player placed terrain, people won before game even started.
That's more of a rules issue and tourneyfag not wanting to take chances.
"Its over, I only have a 1/3rd chance to succeed a charge, mught as well give up"

>Yes, let's raise the minimum requirements so our niche hobby ...
The tiny local regional tourney I've participated managed it. I know a gaming club with enough terrain to really fill 4 tables. You pool the ressources of two ot three gaming clubs and you have 10 tables worth of terrain.
I know a friend who can easily fill a table with terrain. Fuck, this month's collage is terrains, you can even see how they look like.
You're implying this game needs... effort to do? Like yeah no shit, have good terrains, paint your minis, take a shower. You're hosting a tournament, fuck not even a small local one, you're hosting GW sponsored Warhammer WORLDS. Cant you at least put an effort on the table presentation?

Ffs, you sound like the archetypical waac tourneyfaggot. Dont fucking tell me you run a greytide or just spray paint your minis.

FYI I never played in a tournament, most of my shit isn't wysiwyg, but when I play casually at the shop or with my friends at a kitchen table we lay out terrain in a similiar symmetrical fashion.
>Yeah, like a fucking battlefield, weird huh?
Yeah and 40k is a miniature game, not a battlefield as I already explained.
Purpose of a tournament is to play a bunch of games and decide a winner, not do your gay RP shit.
>Once again, balance and fairness over fun.
You do you but I don't have fun when I or my opponent is fucked over before the game even started because LOLSORANDUM STORIES TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS XD. There's enough randomness in the game already.
>It kinda looks like a flat, barren, perfectly symmetrical bloodbowl pitch really. Some even have built in lines.
So you never play in your home on a table? Or do you have a massive fucking diorama set up specifically for wargames in your manchild gooncave? Most of don't have space for that you know.
>That's more of a rules issue and tourneyfag not wanting to take chances.
"Its over, I only have a 1/3rd chance to succeed a charge, mught as well give up"
More like "I can't hide my army in DZ with this terrain setup so whoever goes first will shoot half of the shit off the table"

Yeah, they only started to care when female custodes were added.
Meaning in reality these people don't actually give a shit about sisters of silence.

It's the same phenomena when GW out of the blue stopped selling the Blood Angels tactical kit. (maybe because the mold broke or some shit, who knows)
And then following it you got numerous people just crawling out of the wood work about how they so "loved" that BA tactical kit. And when asked if they even owned any blood angels, common reply was "Well I don't own any blood angels or marines but..."
It's all purely performative, these types of people are just latch onto a thing because popular currently just so they can get pats on the back.

Just add new daemoneetes to Emperor Children, Nurglings to Death Guard etc. It just seems like a very short-sighted decision that invetitable will be course-corrected and techno-demons added to every other Chaos faction in the future, making Vashtorr whole aesthetic and theme redundant...Dude just seems destined to get malaled.

All God-marked Tech-daemons are still technically (heh) also beholden to Forge of Souls. Its a bit of like a pyramid skeem, Forge of Souls enhances daemons and they can still continue to work under their main God, but in case said God attempts to take over the Forge, the daemons wold have to change allegiances. That's the Soulgrinder fluff and would extent to similarly augumented Daemons
And no, I don't think other Gods get to have techy bits without Malevolent Artifice, which is canon to both 30k and 40k as Vashtorr was teased with picrelated, too

I dont think so either, I dont even think there is even remotely an intention for that. I think we might see more undivided daemons to pad out the army slightly as well as additional options for Marks (which already exist in HH Burning of Omlet or whatever its called). Mono-god daemon armies were never an intended playstyle and at best some weird opt-in sidegrade, so I can see them expanding into the rainbow daemons more if anything.

>>97106209
My big issue with 9th was the stratagem gotcha.
Like during 3rd to 5th you could just look at a unit "datasheet" and know what they could do, but during 9th? You had no clue what a unit could do by just looking at it, since a number of its rules where not there.
>>
They have to have the balls to actually simplify 11th down to the bare bones of a good game rather than holding on to bloat caused by legacy features of a game that has been bad for 40 years. Even if it's poorly received by the old men who miss their memories of 3rd edition the models will still sell because of addiction, video games and tv shows. 10th was a product of cowards, and a failure.

>>97104979
Because they've put 10th on hold for a year or something. It would have been fine if the editon wasn't a dumpster fire. I wish 9th would have went on for one more year, they released my codex and then announced 10th.
>>
>>97106226
Yeah, but with 10th every single unit's got a built in stratagem.
>>
>>97106226
Oh for sure, at any moment your opponent could pop out some stratagem you'd never heard of.
It was basically a pre-game check of "Do you have a strat that does x, y, or z?"
Granted, you still have that to an extent in 10th where it just got shuffled into the rules for various units.

THAT is honestly my biggest sticking point, not every unit and every troop choice in the game needs its own rule or variation of a rule.

>>97106235
The point is they can take the risk of destroying the current game to make something that can eventually actually be good without worry that people will stop buying space marines if it releases to negative responses. Burn down the house and build a better one. Short term pain for long term gain.

If you can't finish a standard game of 40k in 90 minutes then they continue to fail.

>10th was a product of cowards, and a failure.
10th edition is a product of retardation, shrimplification and enshittification.
It's a failure because it took all the flavor out of the game. 10th edition is genuinely just bland, grey mush. It is actual slop of what a wargame is supposed to be.
There is no better word to describe it, it is slop.
>>
>>97106241
I mean older edition still had universal special rules.
But usually in things like 3rd/4th you had like 1 or 2 tops.
You had to go out of your way to start adding crap to your units like for example Imperial Guard doctrines, but even then you paid points for each special bullshit so you look at the unit an immediately could tell what it was doing.
Hell some of the special abilities a unit could have like deep strike or infiltrate could simply not work if you are playing a mission where those things are not permitted

>>
>>97106266
I do remember the USRs and while it was nice that a unit would have two at most, you had the later issue of USR bloat in 6th on where you began to see things like Crusader popping in which were slight variants of other rules.

I did enjoy the 4e Marine Codex and slapping True Grit on my squads and miss when a character was basically "No you can't use them below x points"
But I was never a huge fan of the Special characters to begin with.

I don't really miss blast templates for the sheer reason of it slowed the game down as EVERYONE tried to maximize that 2" coherency where I played.

This is a meme. How do I know? I still play 4th playing horde and marines and the autistic spreading is a forum myth.
Even the image example that is artistically spreading it only happen in a vacuum, since a game there is terrain. That you need to move into or around so you can't autistically spread
Also as you mention the game basically died when 5th showed up, the written was on the wall when crap like true line of sight.

It's functional but nothing else. There's nothing in 10th that I think it's done better than in older editions.

Not in a similiar way, no.
It is well painted, but it is much more subtle and toned down.
Like find an old Ultramarines model painted by the FW team and then compare them to the regular intercessor box and you see how stark the difference is with them.

FW was going for subtle, high effort paintjob which looks like a good art piece. GW is doing the opposite.

That's not even flavor and I think giving every god damn unit their own special rule is genuinely fucking stupid.

Like look at pic related.

>>97106340
That's not even flavour when there's like 5 effects they give to every ability. It's just pointless crap to keep track of instead of working with the core rules to simulate intuintive interactions but GW thinks it's "streamlined" because those abilities are printed in the datasheet but no, that's not streamlined it just means you have to constantly reference those stupid little cards.

There's a way you can do it right and not take forever and a day but where I played back in the day, the guys were VERY competitive so they'd try and make sure everything was 'perfect'
It would slow things down a bit but I saw it happen more than once.

Honestly, I've come to find that TLOS is just causing more issues than it solves at this point.
Ironically they may just need to go back to terrain types where its "Ok, its a ruin/Jungle. You can see INTO it but not through it unless you are in it."
"Ok, thats a crater/rubble/etc, you can see through it and guys in it get cover."

Measure to the base, ignore TLOS and just go on some terrain types

>>97106443
NTA but while weapons aren't the only form of flavour, the game was in a much better place when most of the difference between units was the way they interacted with their stats (including weapons) instead of stats being half irrelevant and only an abstracted gimmicky, often nonsensical "ability" mattering.

>>97106469
I get you, from my own experience the problem wasn't the templates but shitty players.
Still from my experience the people who complained about rule abuse are either those who were surrounded by shitty people/players, or people who abused the rules themselves and are trying to pass off their behavior as normal (and thus not their fault).

There's a reason why there used to be an emphasis on "the spirit of the rules" vs "the word of the rules".
No system is perfect, but you can have perfect fun if you only play with decent folks.

t. My early wargaming experience entirely consisted of playing against my older brother who played me to win, and nowadays he complains of rule abuses when old rules are brought up.
>>
>>97106499
Said "unique" ability is the same for all units of that type, thoughever. There is simply no way of adding your own flavor to the model by combining weapons and wargear (while modeling these on the model)
>>
>>97106508
The old days truly were taking what you could get.
The guys were mostly pretty good, its just that template weapons were a pain in the dick to work with as there would ALWAYS be one model that straddled the line so it became a question of 'hey he's not fully under if you look from this specific angle."
>>
>>97106499
Unique rules which cause more and more book keeping that nobody actually likes. Half of the rules aren't even that flavorful to begin with and they only exist because GW is obsessed with putting a special rule ON EVERYTHING, even though that makes zero sense to do.
And yes, I will call it flavor, when it reality it has none.

Typically I'd check that angle and defer.
It was usually one guy in a squad so it wasn't worth spinning in circles with.
Its mostly the fact that you'd have to pause the game and debate a sliver of a base that got to me.
Not that the modern blast rules are much better, flamers can go from hitting one guy 6 times to hitting a squad of 20 only 3 times but thats part of the issue from swapping out of Templates and I'm not sure if the fix is being more aggressive with adding additional hits per model or not.

But its just something inherent to the use of templates and you just have to ask if the quibbling over them will be worth it.

I got tired of it, though weirdly enough I never had much of an issue with the AV value and angles arguing.

>>97106552
I personally didn't mind the AV system, you'd run into angle issues on some of the weirder craft out there (looking at you eldar/Tau) but facing arguments were far rarer than templates.

>>97106559
I agree in that I prefer the new AP system versus Save/No Save and could see cover being rolled back in as a "your minimum is now this"

>>97106584
And at the time it was the only game in town and burned me bad enough that I just don't want to deal with it going forward.
People are slow enough with movement as is, not to mention the rando that thinks we're trying to play ITC rules at the FLG, I don't want to add the potential arguments or debates over templates with it.

Without templates, one of these players is tolerable
With? Its pain.

>>97106599
There was some fun stuff in 5th but Jaws starting that brief trend of "Remove the Model" sniping turned things cancerous
And while i could get that in a bigger community, in the modern one where I'm now the crotchety old man it would be fine, back then it was legit the only game in town so if you were playing that guy in the barn for your one game a week, its what you would take.

For perspective, I was a high schooler about to graduate back then, we had only one store in town and it didn't even have a gaming space.
I've got good memories of that old barn but MAN were some weeks a kick in the dick.

Launching the Holy Hand Grenade was always fun though.
>>
>>97106571
Sorry i read that wrong, legends are not legal in tournaments by design. They are older models that no longer are sold and don't get updated rules so they are not balanced.
Casual play is anything goes and is where legends units are intended to be used, were people who bought things years ago can still get use out of them which i guess is closer to vintage.
The legends stuff is usually worse than tournament legal things.
>>
>>97106559
Unironically saves mattered way more with the old AP system. Sure units with shit saves would get them negated by most weapons but so they do now. But good armour was always there against the vast majority of weapons.

Playing GSC in 10th just suck, everything ignores my 5+
At least during 3rd when everything was AP5 my Sv5+ could work in melee, now not even that because even fucking chainswords are AP-1 and some times AP-2
>>
>>97106605
???? I can go read the 4th edition rules right now and see it has way more flavour than 10th this isn't nostalgia talking.
>>
>>97106630
I'd need to check the math but the AP change helped low save models more as they went from 'no save' to 'shitty 6+ save' while Marines went from 3+ to 4+ or worse
Now, you DO get some sort of save against plasma as a marine, even if its a 6, but by and large your armor does less against more targets.
Its taught me to cover camp with my marines, especially since one of my buddies played a cancerous Admech list in 9th when they had that enriched rounds strat.
>>
>>97106642
Not him but I'd argue thats more a result of AP creep than anything as Chainswords used to just be a close combat weapon, THEN they got the extra bonus attack, THEN the marine variants got the pip of AP on them.

That isn’t true at all. I have a local playgroup that exclusively plays 3/4th edition and half of us were not even alive when that edition was current.

If someone cheats and you put out a sign outside the store "you are banned for cheating", it's not public shaming, it's a public thing that brings shame, but the point isn't to shame.
If I steal a TV and the news call me a thief people would laugh at me for calling that "public shaming".

I'm not sure if this even fits the definition of bullying mate.
>>
>>97106754
He is not banned anon. Just a public notice to annyone playing with him that he is a cheater. It resulted in less games with the guy and anyone playing with him being aware of the stupid crap.
Eventually the cheaters stop cheating or stop playing.

I remember back in 5th when I was a 12 yo Timmy. My friend played Gray Knights. We thought he was making up his own bullshit Mary Sue-fluff, so we bullied him and called him Kaldor Draigo's boyfriend.

>>
>>97106779
Two things that come to mind is true line of sight, something that is still fucking with current 40k and the wound allocation.
Which resulted in units needing to be killed multiple times before loosing models.
For example if you had 5 models with 2 wounds each and everyone had slightly different gear. You could assign each one a wound before removing a model.
So only after the 6th wound a model would die instead of the 2nd wound, meaning multi wound units had way more staying power than intended
>>
>>97106793
I'm pretty sure they will remove bs/ws and S vs T and roll those into one stat like in AoS

That sounds kind of like a thing that would be look down upon in any environment bar the sweatiest tournament
Also how does wound allocation work in conjunction with TLoS when, say, only 1 model is visible?
>>
>>97106805
I play the alternate game modes like boarding actions, narrative games, and SM Operations

>>97106806
>For example if you had 5 models with 2 wounds each and everyone had slightly different gear. You could assign each one a wound before removing a model.
That isn't legal in (at least that I remember) 3rd-5th and 8th-10th.

>Considering everything bad about the past few editions comes directly from AoS
Blame the devs for 40k being lazy and not understanding why the stuff that works, works there and not in 40k.

>>97106823
With true true line of sight only the visible model would be able to take wounds. What we have today is a strange mix of TLoS and abstractions

It was a 5th thing, you could allocate wounds to any unique model. It was only a 5th thing
The good thing it was not very abusable since usually you didn't have units with multiple models that have more than two wounds, usually just a squad leader or a heavy weapon squad. So outside of a couple of units it was not a big deal.
The only big example was the ork nobz on bike.

I think it's just more modern 40K. Same as Space Marine 2.
Imagine related, leopard clothes? Oh I hope it's a print and no animals were harmed- I I er I mean wouldn't it be scary if it was from a monster in the hive we're fighting in, haha?
Similarly there's other descriptions like a pair of goggles claiming it's not real metal, it's plastic, made to look metal for consumers, because y'know 40K is about consumerism and planned obsolesence. Why we even have characters so paradoxically familiar with the setting they cry out against the working conditions in the manufactorum but fully know what a daemonhost is.

And the skins, be they elysians, athonians, arbites, all made back when 40K was fun, but in this it's like a 3rd edition repaint, all colour taken away except for two dull designs of fire wastes red and blue camo on your weapons painted in ways you'd never see on the tabletop.

And that's to say nothing of the political choices in character design. If I wanted to see that I'd browse the webstore and avoid the old world range at all costs for fear of being exposed to what was.

The unit you cant draw LoS to can't be targeted period and you can only draw LoS towards the core body/head
I concur that I don't have an on-hand experience playing 5th but I feel like it'd only come up as poignant if you're trying to hide like 20 boys/cadians behind some walls
It also sounds like the rule was made to arbitrate situations where people would argue about shooting at ruins with windows and measuring which "models seen should be targeted and have wounds allocated to them" sounds kind of fucking ass in that case

They are all explicitly Be'lakor's boys though. I'm so confused by this argument. Even the store pages say it:
>Chaos Legionnaires are elite, well-armed, and highly disciplined – yet though they march alongside the armies of the Dark Gods, these warbands have a shadowy agenda of their own. Sworn to the First Prince, the Legionnaires uphold a secret religion known as the Dark Creed, and strive with each victory to sow confusion, reap dissent, and bring their Dark Master closer to his insidious ascension.
>This multipart plastic kit build[sic] one Centaurion Marshal, a massive eight-limbed warrior armed with an array of weapons. Rearing up on his hind legs, tail and top-knot swaying behind him, this model makes an eye-catching addition to any Chaos collection – and the gladiatorial style of his armour fits perfectly with the other denizens of Archaon's fighting pits, such as the Chaos Legionnaires who share his worship of Be'lakor.
>This multipart plastic kit builds Eternus, Blade of the First Prince – the immortal enforcer of Be'lakor's will. This imposing champion of the Dark Master is mounted atop his rearing daemonic mount, the mighty Drakocephalus, and wields both a rune-marked deathglaive and a gruesome skull flail. His ornate armour is adorned with leering daemonic faces befitting the First Prince's chosen agent, while four pennants hang at his back in a mockery of knightly glory, fluttering in the foul wind of the Cursed Skies.

It essentially means "a connection between things", a 'line' that goes from one thing to the next and the next. So in that context he's saying there is no connection between someone saying "goggles are plastic" and 40k being about obsolescence

>goggle item
>desc: it's not actually metal, it's just plated, it's fake
That's something I'd expect in a game about modern day satire, where everything is made from everyone's favourite material - plastic.
In 40K however everything is the genuine article, from saints bones, to artefact weapons to augments. So when you see a lasgun, you're looking at a weapon that's probably seen a century of service, and your grandson is going to die before it does.

I don't like that.

>>97106571
So legends is fully legal for normal games, it's only if you're playing the tournament pack that you've got issues. If I were to make an mtg comparison. This would be like if your ranked mtg tournaments ran their own banlist. You can still play friendlies at your lgs and most people aren't running the tournament packs in their games unless they're practicing for a tournament
>>
>>97107318
>>97107356
Unlike other guard regiments who embrace the post WW1 drab/camo military uniforms vostroyans embrace the last period where colourful and ornate uniforms were a thing.
>>
>>97107365
>most people aren't running the tournament packs in their games unless they're practicing for a tournament
My experience is that most people do because they are convenient, they tell you how to set up terrain and they are supposedly "balanced". It takes a while for people to understand that you don't NEED to play like that.
>>
>>97107339
I think they're identifiable as part of the StD range. The ornamental horns, the leering daemon faces, and the ubiquitous use of trim on the armor with arrow shapes and eight-pointed stars are common motifs recurring across most of the whole army.
>>
>>97107366
Mordians, Pretoreans, Attilans all beg to differ. Vostroyans were simply made during the middlehammer golden age, and thus have the perfect amount of soul (and details). See the Inqusitorial Stormtroopers for another example.

>>97107328
Yeah. That's pretty much how you pick every non-cadian guard model, you look at their hats or in the case of catachans their lack of.
>>97107329
>there's plastic metal and uhhhh yeah
You do realise my point is the cosmetic item being described as false due to a conniving manufacturer is at odds with the setting where meticulous work is done on every last material such that it has acquilas, skulls and doesn't waste anything?
Why would a scam artist coat their clothes in metal leaf in a setting where there is only war?
Do you disagree with what I'm saying?

Just how useless are allied knights in imperial lists?

Almost no tournament lists use them, but why? Is them not benefiting from army rules that bad? Are they just overcosted?
>>
>>97107373
Maybe I've just been lucky. The 5-6 lgs I've played at in about a decade have all been pretty outwardly against being "sweaty" to the point of a few of them having things becoming a problem when long time players have something they previously owned become meta. Legends are seen as pretty cool here now, but when they were a lot stronger it wasn't nearly as accepted
>>
>>97107396
Overcosted because GW doesn’t know how to balance their points. Case in point, you used to see them everywhere prior to current balance slates because they were undercoated.

>>97107396
It's an awful lot of points to not have interact with any of your list

I'm simply pointing out that plastics and synthetic materials are a thing in 40k. Making a point out of the glasses being made out of our modern day flimsy shit is stupid, yes, and it's a prime example of millenial writing, which doesn't surprise me as Fatshark is composed of a bunch of millenial Swedes. There's an established piece of lore where most people on necromunda believe that gold should have a green tint, so these kind of scam artists absolutely exist.

Given valrak was completely wrong about the recent reveal thing, I take it Total War 40k is not happening tomorrow?
>>
>>97107448
Because it is the truth.
It's why they weren't allowed to move towards a resurgence of epic40k and had to scrap the various other factions' flyers and make legions imperialis instead.

The main studio holds 40k and aos, the specialist studio has HH, tow, blood bowl and necromunda, which are both treated as separate IPs as well.
>>
>>97107421
Right, so, we're arguing over semantics but agree.
I guess that's okay then.
have a nice evening anon. I hope we won't argue again.

>which are both treated as separate IPs as well.

>>
>>97106905
Darktide is one of those games where the character models are too lanky and samey, where the outfits are too loose, belts too low or boots too high.
It reminds me of that insurgency game and its sequel where everyone looks like a cosplayer/airsofter.
Except ogryns, ogryns look alright.

TL;DR I hate games with shitty art direction, "realistic" texture doesn't make your visuals good nor interesting, especially if you neglect silouhettes and shapes.
>>
>>97107481
And 40k still has rules for some forge world stuff, but the divide is getting stricter by the year and will soon be absolute.

It is a rules thing. In simple terms, after 8th the design paradigm went from having a robust set of core rules that handled most interactions mainly through statlines with a few exceptions (most of them covered by USRs) to a design paradigm based around having anemic core rules that handle the bare minimim and most interactions being handled by exceptions found in datasheets, forcing you to constantly reference those datasheets.
>>97107583
I think firing snapshots was the ideal solution to that. I do like having a tradeoff for heavy weapons.
>>
>>97107556
Even the abulte mess that was 7th (remember the edition that try to fix the mess that 5th and 6th brought to the game) you could fit the entire rules, including meme things like "death from the skies", the entire pre game sequence, (objetives, missions, deployment), unit types and universal special rules in 8 pages.

I wonder the same thing with Necromunda.
Things like the Ambot would work great for Genestealer Cult.
Genestealer cult already have a gang in necromunda and malstrain genestealer are their own thing too. While everyone can use GSC vehicles for their gang.
But GW simply refuses to give rules for the Ambot, is not like the Ambull that has legend rules at least, you know a model that only sold onces for a boardgame and now no one can get.

I like them with a chaplain on bike.
Devastating wounds on everyone's bolters an pistols are neat. I run 6 outriders and a bike chaplain, so those devastating wounds hurts a lot.
And the +1 to wound in melee with chainswords are nice.
Obviously without the chaplain they kinda suck, imo

What is the collage for this month?
>>
>>97108206
Terrains or something chrismasy or snowy
>>
>>97108206
Holiday and/or terrain. It's a dual theme. Can do either or both. It's an easy one if you look at doing small scatter
>>
>>97108172
All the ones I can find are of eldar boys getting their prostate kissed by wieners amd aren't /tg/ friendly

Those models are great
Three contrasts and a metal of your choice and you've got the horde done

Utterly unplayable. Completely unfair for one side. Wouldnt waste my time playing on this garbage table.

What's the verdict? The space hulk stuff last edition looked really cool, but I never met anyone who's played it. Honestly, I have no idea what it's gonna be. It just feels lackluster. A book. Some new units nobody asked about. Have we been waiting half a year for this?

Grey Knight Paladins were the other infamous example, on top of all the other absolute nonsense their codex could do.

Looking back, GKs really were the beginning of the end

I'm trying to get the lads into playing it but I suppose the real reason as to why it's not popular is it requires a very specific terrain layout. GW's own offering is the Boarding Action terrain that is Gallowdark Kill Team x2 for a whopping 200 europoors, people aren't into painting terrain as well from what I can over my brief experience with 40k.

It was 5th in general, because if you look at the Daemon hunter codex, grey knights still only had 1 wound.
You can tell 5th was not made by the guys in charge of 3rd/4th. Since the restrain is not there.
>>
>>97108341
He's not wrong.
Contrast looks bad even on newer models as well.
>>
>>97108356
Well okay, how do you prefer to paint models?
Dark base followed by layers? Primer is your base? No nuln oil?
>>
>>97108341
It's true, they're too flat and plain to benefit from contrasts

IIRC only the Paladins had multiple wounds, everyone else including the normal terminators still only had one like every other regular Space Marine. Also I find it bizarre that Matt Ward produced so many absolutely broken bullshit books while also being responsible for the 5e Space Marine codex that's generally regarded as one of the better balanced books in the entire history of the game. Can only assume that as it was the flagship army he had stricter oversight from above or something.

from someone who used to run an intro league, a bit of advice.

let him win a bit in the beginning. try not to make it super obvious, but if you can, try not to just stomp his face in. nothing turns a potential new player off of the game more than constant consecutive losses
>>
>>97108413
Lmao fuck that.

This. It's a doggy dog world. Bitch better learn how things work. Loser bottoms

You talk like you haven't shared a hobby with a close friend or brother.
>>
>>97108413
Unironically this. There are a lot of people out there who just give up on something if they fail multiple times at it from the start. It’s a pathetic thing to see but that’s a part of human nature since this personality trait is sort of common
>>
>>97108418
Even rats know to lose on purpose so others don't lose interest.

Me? Straight 10 losing streak vs my friends brother (who's also my friend). How I cope? It's called Drukhammer and you do it in your friend's basement. He feels the joy of victory, I feel the joy of alcohol

I want to try and brainstorm a fan codex for Warhammer 40K based on the Splicers from Palladium Games. Does /tg/ still do that kind of cool shit, or no?
>>
>>97108561
unfortunately /tg/ (and most of 40gay now...) hates homebrew with a burning passion
>>
>>97108579
Think of it, I haven't seen anyone play a homebrew chapter in years (irl). How come that part of the hobby died out?
>>
>>97108079
God the old guardsmen looked so much better

>>97108579
Nice try /v/ermin
>>
>>97108590
It didn't, you don't play this game
>>
>>97108603
It's completely dead, though. People play chapters from the HH books nowadays. Founding Legions didn't use to mean shit. Nobody cared about Salamanders or Fisters.
