>>97126130post more blueberries
>>97126130Stupid pic promising a stupid thread. Let the stupid arguments begin!
>>97126130>TQI soaked an expensive model in acetone overnight once to try to strip a fucked up primer job off
>>97126130You couldn't even have used a Nightlords pic for the new Nightlords detachment?https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/kdtvqqh5/grotmas-calendar-day-6-terrify-and-terminate-with-a-new-chaos-space-marines-detachment/
>>97126151Was it a plastic model?
>TQDropped a wraithlord on a hard floor, smashed into bits
>>97126139
>>97126130Split it into multiple smaller bottles?
>>97126161WAS being the operative word
KINO just dropped https://youtu.be/MxeQjav4fUg
>TQ My first Ragnar Blackmane I built, I tried to prime with army painters wolf grey spray and it shot out of the can in massive clumps covering Ragnar. I ended up tossing him and buying a new one.
>>97126130>TQI was varnishing a mini but sprayed way too much of it. I wanted to clean some of it up so I put it under running water. But for some reason the paints reactivated pretty much ruining the paintjob I've spent like a week on. To this day I don't know why exactly it happened.
should I watch that new arch video about content creators?
>>97126130>TQ>Basing model right over my pot of snow texture pasteThink "gee I should move this pot">Instantly drop the finished model into the snow paste
>>97126187If you want lol
>>97126181>I ended up tossing him and buying a new onea-are you retarded?>>97126187you should buy an ad
>>97126187>>97126191Buy an ad arch
>>97126177It was cute with the first video but I kinda stopped caring when they kept it going.
>>97126192I could not for the life of me get the clumps out of his eye sockets and all the little ridges. I tried the 90% alcohol and it would not get it all out.
>>97126201really glad you decided to post it in the new thread as well, you fucking retard
>>97126201doesnt this belong in HH
>>97126201Mental illness
I have heard multiple times now that people dont like the thousand sons range because they have "not enough marines".We have standard marines, terminators and elite mages.honestly what else do you need? The only thing i could think of would be flesh change marines but those are just normal chaos spawns at the end of the day and we already have the mutalith vortex beast for a thematic giant spawn version.I guess a unique hellbrute would be cool.
>>97126130>TQI cut off the tip of my thumb with a hobby knife when I was a kid. Just a fleshy bit and it did mostly grow back but it has no sensation anymore. Also I once spilled a whole bottle of super glue on my shorts and the exothermic reaction burned my dick a little.
>>97126228People are going to say you're wrong but i share your views.
What army is the most casual? I like some of the models and I think I would like painting, but would like to try playing too, but I am not the most strategical person - in magic the gathering I like simple decks where the tactic is build big monster and stomp over anything in your path, or build many smaller monsters and overwhelm your opponent. Transparent, no secret tricks. Is there any army that would suit this casual straightforward style?
How come peaking thongs, thong bodysuits and thongs in general became so associated with Tau in fanart? No other faction has this amount of thongs. There isn't a single canon example of Tau women wearing thongs either.
>>97126231>I cut off the tip of my thumb with a hobby knife when I was a kid. This reminds me of the guy who cut the top of his pinky finger and put it into epoxy.He then proceeded to use it in a kitbash for his orks, sont have the picture anymore unfortunately.
>>97126130>What is the biggest hobby fuck up you have managed to do?Destroyed two different 60-70 bucks 3d printed proxy for a daemon prince out of frustration because each time the print was terrible to work with (pieces didn't fit together without hours of work) before I gave up and got the official one (still a chink recast though, thankfully).
>>97126241Orks necrons and custodes all can fit into those criteria
>>97126149You snooze, you lose.
>>97126228Tzaangors and Horrors look too goofy.
>>97126175Kek
>>97126231I managed to slather the base of my dick with superglue when I was 12. I felt like jerking off all of a sudden, took off my pants and managed to spill it all out. Not really sure how it happened, as I was probably using loctite. Anyway, super glue and water don't get along, I had to peel that shit off. It was a wax of sorts, as I had started growing pubic hair
>tqI left my paints in my car on a really hot day and my pots and superglue opened up and spilled everywhere, resulting in rainbow-colored superglue permanently affixing all my paints to my paintbox.

Would any kind of homebrew rules need to be made to balance the possibility of having units from different factions in a single mixed army?Let's say for example you wanted to fight with an army of tau and marines.Maybe it sounds cringe to traditional players but I think of it of some missions in RTS campaigns where you control units from different previously opposing factions, or using a deck in a card game like magic or pokemon where you have different types (say, fire and psychic or whatever).In RTS it is sort of self-balancing in the sense that technologies you research for one faction usually don't benefit the other, so you have to spend more on research than you normally would. Also, there might be some lack of synergy.In the pokemon card games the more types you run the less likely you are properly "fuel" each type since each uses its own energy.Would it also "self-balance" in wh40k or would some special rules be needed?What kind of mixed army would you use if given the chance?
>>97126286>fellow gluedick tardWe are brothers you and I
>>97126300Space king is the closest thing to quality 40k content we’ve gotten in years
>>97126361It would self balance in the sense that your opponent can do it too but it still would probably be a bad idea overallIdk necrons+nids?
>>97126361No detachment rulesCan only generate one command point every round
>>97126130I spray varnished almost 1000 points of my favourite minis during an 80% humidity day.>>97126292Skyray and servitors now that I’ve finished my techpriests and new infernus marine for an lgs paint thingy.
>>97126361>Would any kind of homebrew rules need to be made to balance the possibility of having units from different factions in a single mixed army?The important thing is that you make it so the auras can't combine or cross in any way, and that you either treat the allied forces as two small forces with their respective organisation or that you treat the army as not benefitting from any organisation, once that's settled there's no issue.
>>97126370It isn't and it looks awful
>>97126236>People are going to say you're wrong but i share your viewsI mean I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of more marines but i never hear ideas that fit the army, for example melee rubrics are unfitting for tzeentch in my opinion and tzaangors do a much better being melee fodder.>>97126260>Tzaangors and Horrors look too goofy.Tzaangors look completely fine for tzeentch beastman, especially the dual weapon build.Pink horrors are still fine and the blue ones are great.Pink horrors have always been goofy imp deamon thingies aside from the 4th edition ones.I wish the curent kit had the drum head as the musician unit.
>>97126177Hearing Psychicpebbles voice was a real treat.
>>97126157>guys, i swear, we can make Battleshock viable>even if every single attempt we made is basically unplayable trash, 14'th time's the charm>what do you mean "the entire detachment rule hinges on the opponent failing a re-rollable 50-50" ?>what do you mean "a single core stratagem invalidates the entire army"? (even after insane bravery was nerfed)>what do you mean "the effects all trigger during the enemy's turn and I have to wait an entire turn to see the benefit"?>what do you mean "people fucking hate the [below half strength]" abilities? they're so cool you guys>yes, we could have revamped the original detachment and release a brand new interesting one instead of reminding everyone of how disappointing this mechanic is. but that would mean more workGod, I hate GW
>>97126292i'm too depressed to finish my Deathwatch Kill Team right now maybe I'll do it tomorrow
Anons without a local store, where do you play?
>>97126552I don't :(e
>>97126552At my friend's houses.
>>97126419It is but and I agree but its an indie animated comedy so ill cut it some slack
>>97126552Tabletop Sim
>>97126557Oof>>97126575Based>>97126569Omega based
>>97126192>>97126197no genuinely should I watch it?
>>97126587Lmfao what the fuck do what you want bro
>>97126587No, he's a retarded tourist trying to grift and his new video is just him throwing a fit that his grift isn't working
>>97126587It was basically just him bitching about GW being woke and moving towards appealing to normies more than the core fanbase that made 40k what it is todaySaying that softening the edges to appeal to the masses will kill what makes the setting special and thus the 40k universe will no longer have any unique appeal and so the game/setting will die over time unless…Unless something?Unless we all come together and push back somehow? Unless GW gets some massive spontaneous chud pushback which I guess he’s performatively trying to lead the charge on? Lol
>>97126592but the video is calling out content creators, if it ws just a grift he'd be attacking GW again no?
>>97126608NoHe's throwing a fit because other sloptubers are getting more attention than his grifting
>>97126607this is not the contents of the video based on what the thumbnail says
>>97126611makes sense, but content creators do need to be called out
>>97126613Niggas lie sometimesHe did momentarily bitch about some youtubers being complicit but that wasnt the focus of the video
Who is the dude in front suppose to represent?
>>97126641That guys dudes.
>>97126130>TQ: Ordered direct from GW
>>97126619just stop clicking on their videos, who cares
>>97126632What was the deal with all that nonsense leading up to it? Just trying to siphon viewers or something?
>>97126130Both too big.
>>97126157This should have been just a dataslate update to dread talons.
>>97126684yes anon this is how sloptube grifters operate nowadays, have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years or something?
>>97126641Bro has a squirrel on his pauldron what the helly
>>97126702I don't really consume news of any kind so my algorithm doesn't feed me a lot of the drama stuff. The only reason I ever know something is happening in the hobby is when people talk about it here. I pretty much just use youtube for podcasts, instructional videos, and looking up music suggested to me. So to answer your question, yes. I do sort of live under a rock.
>>97126292I bought a watch master just to paint but now it's spiraling into ideas for a display board of a full DW army to pair against my orks even though I don't even play the game anymore so another army would just be purely for display
Should I get 40K Rogue Trader for my switch 2 yes I do have one I remember this was quite a popular game of conversation for a hot minute on the video game board . I don't care about frame rates and that kind of thing . I do have the cash for such a game I don't know how complicated it would be but I play Total Wars 3 kingdoms and warhammers but I prefer playing on my game and device over my computer.Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Trailer | Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Traderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKpMoweRcUs
>>97126749You should buy a model and paint it instead
>>97126544>yes, we could have revamped the original detachment and release a brand new interesting one instead of reminding everyone of how disappointing this mechanic is. but that would mean more workFuck this
>>97126749This is the worst ad I've ever seen
>>97126130Mostly just sliced my thumb with a hobby knife when I was younger and stupider.>>97126231I sliced a tiny piece from the tip of my right ring finger when flipping open a small pocket knife I had and it slipped from my fingers.
I'm trying to figure out what base sizes to put my hvy weapons on. My search results have given me 4 different answers. 62mm? 50mm? 40mm with 25mm for the crew? Just 25 for the gunner and nothing for the weapon? What's the consensus here? Yes, my fdm sandbags are shitty, I know.
>>97126749it's a good game, but I dont' know how it will run on a switch
>>97126130>tqWas cutting a piece of plasticard laminated foam core with a thin box cutter and had the blade bind up and shatter, flinging a 3inch long length of the blade into my thigh. Probably should have got it stitched up but I just kept super gluing it closed every time it opened up and it eventually healed
>>97126797the current base size is 50mm with gun and crew on the same base
>>97126797Look up the unit you're trying to represent on the gw webstore, they always list the correct base size on the listing
Cute Eldar boy feet
>>97126822>>97126813Ah, found it! Had to open the "read more" part. Thanks boys, I think I was confusing the cadian hvy wpn teams the kriegers
Would you support a new tau battlesuit that was more melee focused to give them an option besides kroot?
>>97126894Smooching c'au fupa
>>97126910That doesn't answer the question.
>>97126130I like orks :D
>>97126894Gue'vesa auxiliary units with bayonets
>>97126894i don't know why we don't have beam saber mech yet. just go full fucking gundam.
>>97126921Anyone who wants gue'vesa is a certified retard
>>97126894Crisis bodyguards with spears would be ideal
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>97126921Just just a worse version of kroot and fire warriors
>>97126969didn't they already do that this year?
>>97126934It is my constant fucking irritation that we don't even have a shitty option for crisis suits to match their profile to Farsight.Seriously it doesn't even really have to be good, I just want a reason to charge with these fucks instead of having a melee unit stapled to an entourage that can't be made even slightly better in melee.
>>97126969Fanart doesn't get cringier than this
>>97126894Yes.Alternatively:>>97126921
I haven't played for a yearWhich army should I focus on completing?BATau CSM
>>97126949You shut your whore mouth.
Do you have styrofoam, glue, cardboard, paint and sand? I'm gonna build some simple terrain step by step tomorrow and I invite you to join me.
>>97127013CSM, specifically word bearers for that lorgar release
>>97127013What kind of csm
>>97127013Tau or CSM.
>>97127034Don't have styro but I've got lots of cork bark if it's for rocks
>>97127013If you have all of these and none of them are done you should drive off a bridge
>>97127034Don't use super glue on the styrofoam
>>97126894I'd support tau being removed from the game and tau posters being killed
>>97126728For the sake of your sanity, keep it that way.
>>97126894Big blue titties.
>>97127038Which release? Idr>>97127042It's mainly a vanilla black legion army, which is mostly complete with all units, I just thought of getting the new EC regardless of how they'd operate game mechanically. Or maybe finally build a Defiler.>>97127055They're all playable, I simply lack some units here and there
>>97127052I was thinking some simple rocky scatter terrain to start. Maybe a crater or rock pile.>>97127060I'll use some delicious pva of course
>>97127062I second that
Anyone have examples of CSM without trim painted? I'm on the fence between just skipping the trim or maybe even trimming the trim off to make the armor smooth.
>brother just posed his armies on the dinner table and makes rocket and gun noises with his mouth while posing them and shuffling them around againSigh...
>>97127062Them being removed from the game wouldn't matter because tau posters are just porn-obsessed secondaries
>>97127100>Which release? Idr500 worlds apparently will feature lorgar
>>97127117Have you ever heard of google
>>97126894Yes but give it to auxiliary units. Kroot in battlesuits, make a new auxiliary species that needs a suit like an aquatic or slug species, or give it to good boy humans. Hell have auxiliary tech priest traitors if you stop giving a fuck.
>>97127119He's too based for you to handle, git gud
>>97127117>search for this image just to come here and ask for the thing that's on the same page as the image you're postingWhat compels people to do this
>>97127119Your brother is on some king shit nglYou sound cringe tho
>>97127123>500 worlds apparently will feature lorgar>source: my huge, gaping anus
>>97127119This is real and happened
Today I will remind them.
alright i will be the first to say it, lets take the cat out of the bagplaying with middle aged family men is 1000 times more fun than having a go at it with teenage zoomersolder people who have little to no time for their hobby are always happy, know their shit, they actually put some thought into their armylists, have the best banter and are fun to be aroundprove me wrong /40kg/
>>97127179Of the time the tau gencoided an entire planet of humans?
>>97127148>>97127129That's just the flawless host. I was trying to see it on other colors, maybe work done by anons and such
>>97127186I would argue that it's more truthful to say that playing games with people your own age is always more tolerable. You're just getting older buddy, nothing wrong with that
>>97127203Just look up all the warbands and then look up the ones without painted trim
>>97127200>>97127200>Tau are the good guysPeople actually believe this
>>97127119It sounds like he's just doing what you taught him fetalplapper
>>97127210Yeah you're probably right
I am the good guy of 40k
>>97127227I think the purge is somewhat popular. Try looking them up
>>97127186No, that's how it's supposed to beYou can only really stand being around teenagers in a casual kind of setting when you are one
>>97127280There was an anon around here who had a really lovely Purge army, I wonder if he still posts
>>97127117chaos trim is literally not that bad aside from the helldrakeare all chaos painter just massive fucking shitters?
>>97127276I didn't know orks could use a computer.
>>97127312>>97127276What are you talking about? He's obviously someone from Commander farsight enclaves.
do you guys have a chart or something to get into 40k lore? i know it's a huge rabbit hole but would be cool to check out some of the books
>>97127349Start with the core rule book. Then read the Codexes of factions you like. The. Look for a book about your favorite faction.
>>97127179Today I will remind them.
>>97126292Finished building my second consortium member.
>>97127400You should do more layers on your base rims. It's probably one more away from being totally solid
>>97127349The core book has a great breakdown of all the factions and what they're currently up to in a fairly digestible format, and then from there you can dig into codexes for the factions your interested in, and then you can start looking at books and stuff that take longer to digest so you don't waste your time reading a novel about something you don't give a fuck about
>>97127400i like your fabulous bilehopefully the dude has rules in the new edition
>>97127358>>97127421thanks bros!
>>97126201sweet blend on the sword given the scale you're working withthe pink looks great and really vibrantlinework on the flag is good and while the hearts aren't too clean it's understandable given the scalefantastic model overall, this could definitely win local competitions and i wish you well on your transition
So what are we expecting for the Serpent's Brood detachment that got leaked? Harlequins obviously but what kind of rules?
>>97127440you're really desperate to get this bait going aren't you
>>97127453take the generic template for transport detachment then change all the faction keywords to eldar
>>97127137hell go further, bioengineered artificial slug race from whatever slurry of biomass has resulted in preference for melee and a null field to deal with increasingly more present psykers and chaos raids
I finished assembling a Land Raider Redeemer today.It was a good day.
>>97127227>>97127280The other one that comes to mind is the Cleaved, they're from a planet that is literally a giant fa/tg/uy, they armor is white-ish with grime/oily stains
What's the fan-favorite sub faction for each major faction?
>>97127571Blood Angels in all fields.
>>97127571>>97127588remember when dow 1 was released in 2004 and they went with the cool blood angels but didnt want to deal with all that lore bullshit so they just invented their own chapter
>>97127571Tau: Farsight EnclavesBecause most Tau fans are fucking idiots.
If you buy models brand new from GW, you are cattle. Every time I hear that someone paid full price for a sprue from GW at their absurd prices instead of buying the sprue secondhand, I just see them as corporate slaves.
>>97127639
>>97127639>he doesn't steal them from the factoryyou are just a 2nd hand corporate slave
>>97127601Nope, GW told them they couldn't use their blood angels so they made the ravens instead
>>97127639What if you buy them half price direct from gw using a friend's employee discount
>>97126157>kill one Ork boy>now our toughness means jack shit and we hit for dick >and there's no recourse in an army that had all their tools for dealing with morale stolen Yeah nah this fucking detachment is going to be super unfun to play against, I can already tell. Play some Blood Bowl and tell me how many 8+ you can make
>>97127639I just don't bathe and they'll let me leave the store with practically anything I want to get me out
>>97127400Are those two next to Fabius Bile supposed to be Khorag Sinj and Oleander Koh?
If they ever get around to refreshing Ortan Cassius’s model, I hope they do the version where his skull is visible due to the nature of his injuries (presumably suffered during the first Tyranic War).
>>97127668man its been a long time i did not remember thatbut the point still stands they went with the edgy and cool chapter
>>97126894they for sure should have melee battle suits. they've had fusion blades and onager gauntlets in the past, one of their races foremost military experts on whom entire sept wide military doctrine is based wields a giant fucking anime swordat this point its just pure obstinance on GWs part. you cant even use the "but they're a shooting army" argument because everything in 40k can do everything. even world eaters still have access to predators, forgefiends and land raiders for shooting. 40k armies are all designed to do and have access to pretty much every type of unit in the game, and where they vary is in HOW they use those units.
>>97127117paint the trim first and then fill in the rest of the colors i made the mistake of doing it the other way around and its hell
>>97127702also they need to revisit the battlesuit kit and 1: give it enough weapons to actually make the legal loadouts2: give the standard battlesuits hands like the commander.
>>97127303>are all chaos painter just massive fucking shitters?judging by this general they're the best painters actually
>>9712770890% of the new csm models is trim so you might be onto something there
>want to play more my votann>would have to get extra brick of jacks or zerks for melee>and get hekatons>which like every other unit worth shit wants to use>and and i need 2 small squads of thunderkyn too>so i might as well get another hekaton>and some yaegirs with kaprikus>by which i already overshoot 2k and have to get rid of warriors or buri, who tbf is kinda disappointing but maybe that's just local metait so tiring and new epic hero (i sure do hope they give him generic statline too with different head) doesn't really make it much better
>>97127702I could understand if GW wanted to keep the regular Tau empire stuff free of melee battle suits, or make them much rarer, but I agree that Farsight Enclaves should at least have them.It'd work thematically and lorewise too, since they can play it off as the battlesuit pilots of the Enclaves emulatinghow Farsight himself fights.Also it'd work as a good visual narrative tool of sorts where it shows that despite the Enclaves being still very similiar to the main Tau empire, however they have started to diverge both culturally and militarily. And the Enclaves have started to adapt to the threats within the galaxy by changing their own battle tactics but also gear and equipment they use.
>>97127722>also they need to revisit the killa kan kit and>1: give it enough cool sneakers to actually make them swaggy>2: give the standard killa kans baggy pants like the OGs
>>97127742Sorry, that'd be giving a xenos faction as many options for their army as Imperium and we can't have that happen anymore.
>>97127758
>>97126915Anyone that doesn't is a joyless faggot.
>>97126292Paintan some HH demons for khorne chaos spawn
>>97127685The EC guy is Oleander yeah but the DG isn't khorag. He is supposed to be in caraphracti armor but I'm all out of those.Got an IW guy going too. Would like for him to be Tsimiskies Flay but he is supposed to be in some sorta huge custom heavy armor and have a cool helmet and I don't know how to pull that off. Basically all the other guys besides Oleander will be generic consortium guys.
>>97127216>Sky is blue.>"WTF?! Why do people believe sky is blue?!".
god i hate elves
>>97127702>everything in 40k can do everything.and thats a bad thing and exactly why 10th feels so assarmies becoming more homogenised should be avoided if you want melee robots go play the 6 other factions that already have them
>>97127802You're short and ugly, message received.
>>97127803no its not. we dont need shitmar microfaction nonsense where every army is a meme that can only do 1 thing. thats fucking stupid.
god I'm short and ugly
>>97127837Same
>>97127200How many times did the Imperium do the same thing?
What if I'm short and ugly but really really like elf butts?
boil emmash emstick em in a stew
>>97127865This is the best piece of Tau lore

New to the hobby, not a hundred percent sure what paints to buy. Is khorne red, abaddon black, and gal vorbak red enough to recreate this color scheme?Sans the green weapons
Why do the T'au name their vehicles after Earth fish?
>>97127978Yes, but it'll look a bit flat without highlights and shading. Don't despair at that- everyone's first few models look like shit. Enjoy the process, then look up a few handy tutorials, integrate one of the techniques into your process, and repeat.
>>97127978you would have an easier time using army painter fanatic, AK gen 3 or proacryl. citadel paints are desaturated, their color convention is completely random and nonsensical, they dry out easily due to shit pot design, and even with all their problems they're still more expensive than every other brand out there
>>97128000>citadel paints are desaturated>recommends AP fanatic instead
>>97127988technically all the names are high gothic translations>>97127973thats assuming that tau would need to raid SoS outpost and even then they sunked more into lesser conflicts. Their main base is on the moon and rebuilding recently too so each sister ironically loses out on value
>>97127978if you're new to painting i'll give you a tipthe green blades and background of that image are a large part of why the crimson, plum and mauve colors work. i would try to incorporate the green into your scheme too
>>97128005Ap fanatics are anything but desaturated
>>97127909Get irradiated you stupid bug hybrid. The machine god is the one true god.
>>97127988Why do Eldar name their aspects after Earth animals?
>>97128005fanatic has one of the highest pigment saturation of any paint on the market, dont you fucking meme face at me
>>97127817your*
>>97127988Tau vehicle names we use are imperial classification.
AP fanatics are high opacity but desaturated colours, which I personally love. Other modern brands are too thinned for airbrush losers.

>>97128082Lmao enjoy your bubbling nigger>>97128086Anybody who says this phrase has admitted to losing the argument
>>97128070i have used citadel, vallejo and AK paints and i can say in all honesty that AK paints are the best and easiest to use.citadel randomly decided to change the formula for some of their paints to make them easier to control and it resulted in them having a desaturated and grey tone. they did this with some of their best paints like rhinox hide, barak-nar burgundy and some others which i forget.vallejo paints are for people who are ok with doing 3-4 layers of everything they paint onto a model and plan to do a lot of wet blending and glazing.ak interactive 3rd gen have good control, mix well with a bit of water for glazing and wet blending, opaque when you want them to be and pastel when you don't and the range is huge.
>>97128089Trying too hard
>>97128088Because 90% of our shitposters are tourists from /v/ trying to ruin other boards
>>97128089That was not even an argument since you didn't refute anything and it's an objective fact that APF paints have white mixed into them which hurts their saturation. I don't even understand why you got so triggered lmao

>>97128110>UmadPLEASE try to improve your subtlety next time shitstirrer-kun
Have been working out how to model/paint my Christmas marines and have been majorly conflicted.However, I’m growing on the idea of 5th Company Ultras. I think the idea of them being isolated, battle worn versions of the poster boys is quite interesting. I’m also tempted by painting battle worn, faded blue (almost grey blue) armour with black heraldry.I know Ultras are a bit boring but for some reason these guys, with their minimal lore, jumped out at me. There’s enough there provide some creative restraints but plenty of room for my own /dudes/. Did a quick basic edit of some art to try and capture what I have in my head. What do you reckon, anons?
>>97128088/v/ ran out of good games to talk about around 10 years ago. admittedly it's not their fault that game devs are dogshit these days but the lack of actual content on their boards turned /v/ into shitpost central and now whenever they browse other boards they think that shitposting and trolling is content
>>97128119>still no argumentyou're literally the shitposter here lmao
>>97128128>Debate meeeeeNo I'll keep laughing at your pitiful attempts to shitpost instead
>>97128127No games is no excuse. Making games has never been easier and indies had an explosion. They just got lazy, fell to the culture war shit and now just bait bots or post loli (or CP) to bait the mods.
>>97128137trying too hard at this point /v/erminposter
>>97126130What's the best way to paint fully metallic armor?(argent shroud, deathwatch, etc.) I can only imagine using metallics doesn'y yield amazing results, but at the same time using nmm for such large areas sounds like a hassle
>>97128127if i remember correctly /b/ dieded around 2010 and turned into porn bot farm and i keep hearing about how /v/ is still up and running for some reasonsame thing with /pol/ they packed their bags and left when gamergate came around here and now people use /pol/ as an insult kinda like they used to talk about stormfags back in the dayim confus and dont like to think about this stuff too much
>>97128151Black base, metallic dry brush, black or brown shader, highlight with original metallic, ultra fine and some ular highlights with lighter metallic
Im new and i think CSM are cool. I just bought -Chaos Space Marines - Battleforce: Hellforged Warband - Chaos Space Marines - Combat Patrol and Chaos Space Marines - Chaos Lord. Is this good or bad? i paid $333 in total
>>97128188You’re gonna need a lot of plastic cement and glue and primer and paint.
>>97128151I use reaper MSP metallics. Really just their sparkly blue. Im gonna try out their adamantium black for death company (eventually)
>>97128188bad because you bought so much fucking stuff before painting a single model
>>97127988What colors do you recommend for highlights? I've been watching GW's painting tutorials so far, but not sure who/what to watch for that specific scheme>>97128009Will definitely paint melee weapons in my army green, but for now I only have range units with ones with only two melee options, so I'm just focusing on the overall main scheme for the army
>>97128151why can't you imagine metallics looking good? base coat, wash (or inks) then progressive highlights looks fine.
>>97128215whats plastic cement
>>97128242its like glue but melt plastic a little so the elements (ideally) fuse
>>97128188>buys a bunch of shit for hobby before actually doing any hobbying to see if they actually enjoy itMany such cases.Let me know when you put your stuff on ebay
>>9712822 i will take paint lessons
>>97128221>I use reaper MSP metallics.Are those the Dragon colors? Looking for gift ideas for Christmas and that one has a bunch of colors and metallics with it.
>>97128151Paint simple nmm-ish volumetrics using metallic paints and washes/contrasts, it looks really nice.
>>97126544You need to hate for the right reasons. You can't Command Reroll a battleshock test, and Insane Bravery can only be used once per game and has to be used before you roll the Battleshock test. I play Tyranids and Chaos Knights. Our courage test related rules vary from "Completely makes my opponent lose the game on the spot" to "I have no rules" on a game to game basis. Battleshock fucking sucks and at this point I don't know if GW has the ability to make it not suck. I don't play marines, but on the surface, this entire detachment seems like it doesn't do anything. The game is pretty lethal right now, so I don't know how often you're going to be excited about the fact that your warp talons didn't shred a unit so now someone else gets a buff against the last 2 dickheads that survived.My first thought was, "Who is this for?" Mechanically, it's too inconsistent for the tryhards, and the people who wanted a fluffy Nightlord list already had a detachment.
reaper still exists? holy shit blast from the past.
>>97128246i want to ask whether or not the shit i bought is good to start off. I know how this game works others teached me
>>97128178Hm... okay>>97128221That actually does look all right...>>97128229Idk they just don't seem terribly well suited to larger areas.
>>97128264maybe if like half of the units didn't have LD of 6 it could be considered semiviable strat
>>97128289As a Nid player, half is being optimistic. Almost every army I fight is all 6's.
I don’t think they’re getting rid of battleshock In 11th, but how would you fix it.
>>97126421I think there's some design space for the big cults within the faction. Kind of like how Skaven have the Great Clans. Skryre are the smart ones, Moulder makes the mutants, and so on. The cults have different magic specialisations that even 1 pity hq could represent and attach to the more generic SoTs and Rubrics. Pyrae makes flamers better, Raptora could have some weird grenade thing they could do or movement shenanigans, Pavoni could be the sneaky ones or they could pick from a list at the start of the game to "mutate" or even work as the equivalent of an Apothecary. It would be pretty simple to add characters like this while still being different enough to make Tsons players want to go into a particular cult if they wanted to.
Iron warrior apothecary is coming along. Just gotta do a world eater and a night lord and Biles entourage will be complete.
>>97128188what a fucking deal, i'm actually jealoushope you actually like painting you whalewhy not get the HH Combat Force while you're at itWhat CSM faction do you even plan on painting
>>97128269It's a good assortment of stuff.You get 20x Legionnaires, your bread and butter stuff. I remember them being better in melee by equipping them with chainsword + bolt pistols instead of bolters but you can always have 10 of each for some variety.Chaos Lord is a solid option, the model is just great.Possessed are great melee options, really durable with T6 and they can just cut through marines with their dmg2 attacks. Master of Possession leads them for extra stuff, yet another cool looking model.Cultists I think don't fit, they're not space marines but for gameplay it's great to have something with sticky objectives. Can't go wrong with having a unit.Rhino is great to move shit around, do objectives. Can't go wrong.Havocs will be your anti-tank infantry. To my knowledge only two of each weapon comes from the sprue even though you can equip them with 4 of each weapon, but lascannons/autocannons/heavy bolters are all good. Just don't spread them into different weapon profiles that much, they need to have a specific purpose.Daemon Engines are fun.tl;dr you're at a solid start, have you decided on a color scheme or just gonna use black legion?
>>97128327when a unit fails a battleshock test it's cohesion range is reduced to 1".when a single model fails a battleshock test it is bracketed.
>>97128363Iron Warrior what?
>>97128188its an ok starter that sets you up for few detachments so now depends which way you want to keep pulling. CSM are fairly toolboxy once you get your bearings.>>97128221cool cathapracti shoulderpads on aggressors, printed or ripped off from heresy models?

Just had a game break down and opponent quit after turn 1 because they didn't understand how secondary missions (they own the deck) worked. and they've played longer than me. They knocked one my squads back off an objective and then picked this up and said "ok i've cleansed you off it, so i'm scoring this vp". He was on the objective, but had shot this turn, and hadn't knocked me off it until the fight phase.Tried to explain the entire concept of "actions" to him, he said "nah it's either the top part or the bottom part, i cleansed your unit off the objective so i did the bottom part."I asked him to figure out what the top part even achieved if it wasn't leading to the bottom part, compared it to two other secondaries cards, he said "ok lets just not do secondaries" played to the end of his turn (he was def in better place by start of turn 2 than me) but then just starts packing up his units and left. what the fuc

>>97129083Wow this is just how I paint orks badly
>>97129144what is "cleansed" as defined in the rules, if not the result of doing the action?he decided that "cleansed" just meant killing everyone on it, without needing the action, then couldn't explain what the action was for in that case.
>>97129144"Actions" need to be performed by a unit, they don't just happen automatically. Originally it was all based on fiddly 'its eligible to shoot' but then 'it doesn't get to shoot' but people were rightly fucking confused, so they specify that units have to take an 'action' instead.Basically, his friend needed to be on the objective in their shooting phase to cleanse it instead of shooting, pushing them off in the fight phase misses the timing. He would need to wait until his next shooting phase to take the cleanse action and stay on it until the end of their turn.
>>9712919740k has always had these shitty "gotcha" rules. Nothing you can do about it except not take it that seriously and try to remember it next time. That's also why I prefer narrative games.
>>97129160That anon with the big titty mommy avatar of khaine might be the only eldar player here I've ever seen post games where everything was painted
>>97129212Reading the rules explains the rules anon. It's not actually that hard.Just read the fucking card:The card says that you can have a unit cleanse an objective instead of shooting (because its an action) if they stay in range until the end of the turn and you control the objective. If you do it to one objective you can score 2 VP, if you do it to more than one you can score 4 or 5.
>>97129056Imagine being a Guardsman stuck in some losing battle about to be killed (or worse, captured) by cultists when suddenly the Eldar show up and a 7' woman in a skin-tight bodysuit and a perfectly sculpted ass jumps in and saves you.
>>97129019Im so confused how this happened. The mission deck literally comes with a fold out paper that explains what an action is and how score. Bro is just making up rules.
>>97129254There's a lot of rules anon and its easy to get things confused because GW aren't perfect rules writers. This kind of stuff gets missed sometimes, all your opponent had to do was not be upset and just remember for next time.I remember a time in 8th I couldn't shoot some dude's character unit that was out in the open because there was another 10 inches to the left that was technically closer. That one threw me for a loop and I had to go look at it in the book to make sure my opponent wasn't cheesing me
>>97129019in his defense, as an oldhead who hasnt played since 8th, how you resolve that card you just posted in not at all obvious
>>97129316This is my first time using them, he says he's played 4 games with them so far.
>>97129341Why are you playing with retards? This is your own fault
>>97129316But as >>97129278 explains, they literally come with a pamphlet telling you how they work.There are rules that are fucky in 10th, even with secondaries (reminder that units with Assault weapons can do actions after they Advance), but they've mostly fixed the mission decks from the original really fucky ones.
>>97129361the assault bit got dropped pretty early in the edition, because it led to people including shit like one shotgun in a scout squad, or one neophyte with a bolter in a melee crusader squad to have one guy with assault technically passing the "eligible to shoot". Replaced with a more distinct list of who can't do an action.
>>97129259I'm imagining it. Now what? Depending on the Craftworld the Eldar are just a bigger threat. That or they planned this since they wanted to use the guard as cannon fodder.
>>97129392they really need to just drop actions from the game. this shit is so fucking convoluted on top of 40ks already complicated scoring system.
