Let Chaos idols take this thread!
>>97305941>TQgive me a blood angels captain sculpt based on this blanche painting like they did with the BT castellan
>>97305941>New News>500 WorldsIs GW trying to turn the 500 worlds thing into the current year's Battle for Armageddon? It looks like that for me.Any grogs in here able to comment on the fanbase impression of Armageddon vs 500 Worlds?If Armageddon has been done better than what did it get right that 500 Worlds is allegedly getting wrong?
Where is collageanon? i-is he OK?
>>97305974He posted the december collage last thread
Don't forget to buy your Titus box.
>>97305996Where did you find that picture of me?
Imagine gorrilaman getting a train ran on him by titus and co.
Shes so thick and sexy!
Cute Eldar boy feet
>>97306015Fuck off decalfag
>>97305941>TQGive me this guy on the left here
>>97306029admit it, she would be the perfect Sister
really though, what was his fucking problem?
>>97306053Dunno ask /lgbt/
>>97306015YUCK!
>>97305941This image is why I play Eldar I would love it as a model
>>97305974Fuck off fecalslopper
>>97306015I dunno, she's kinda old and looks too masculine for my tastes
>>97305941I can't think of a better piece of eldar art from the right if any art was gonna get a model. Left was a codex cover and is also great too.I vaguely recall I think someone actually sculpted the guy on the right for a golden demon entry, I think? Anyone remember anything?
>>97306077You've had your fun, please stay on topic now.
>>97306081Nta but weren't you supposed to lurk and not post
>>97306075My man
>>97306081Teehee ignore me xD
>>97305974He's fine. You still aren't allowed on.
>>97305941>TQI'd like for them to make a chapter serf or two, like the ones to the left shown here
What are some folks' favorite sculpts? Has anyone here got a model they just bought over and over because they like it so much?
>>97306015the only reason she got a job was she was mannish woman, which is really funny considering she got blacklisted from hollywood for being a chud. I legit thought she was a tranny at first.
>>97306094You're pathetic anon
>>97306109>>97306079Some of you are insane
>>97306102And what exactly would they do? Ablative wounds or sacrificial wound recovery?To be honest, GW has really ramped up the various human models in recent years. Between KT, Necromunda, AoS, and TOW, there are plenty of similar models passable for a chapter serf.
>>97306107Dont have Orks, ironically have an army of Orruks for AoSI absolutely love this guy
>>97306143Something Space Marines tend to lack: cheap objective/action monkeys.
>>97306143Can just use them as gear or ability indicators, like the termie teleport homers.
>>97306125My brother in christ she is build like a fridge and is like 42.
>>97306143I dunno I just think they look cool
>>97306157Dude...come on..lets let Red Wife Magnus Husband chime in here.
>>97306109Damn nevermind, I like her more now. Not for the chud shit but cause she looks like she could break me in half over her strapon while calling me slurs. So maybe it's kinda about the chud shit.
>>97306167Like a walking thundercloud
>>97306175Truly baffling take anon
>>97306107It’d have to be Adrax for me. The pose is kinda basic but I just love the baroque dragon themed armour, and he’s good for kitbashes too.
>>97305941TQ my boy Konrad or his prophet Talos
>>97306167I just like feminine women who aren't middle age yet. I bet she's barren too.>>97306181You couldn't even stop posting for a few days huh. I gotta ask, why do you use the same 5 or so facebook memes from 10 years ago as reaction images?
>>97306199Ive used this meme like 3 times ever in my thousands of posts, also I have barely been posting at all just lurking. I am allowed to have a few conversations here and there.
>>97306204Using your reaction images is a dead giveaway. You clearly don't understand what lurk moar means mr thread veteran.
>>97305941>TQNew Kairos (or just some named Lord of Change) would be pretty nice.
>>97306163Valid.>>97306151Ehh, that implies that enemies can simply kill them to remove abilities or wargear. I guess that makes them an objective?>>97306150Isn’t that why arbites exist?
>>97306209I deleted tons of my reaction images already, fine I will delete this one too.
>>97306215The homer doesn't have wounds and serves purely as a visual marker. Same can be done for serfs. Like making one hold a shield and only fielding the model if you decide to give a shield to your character.
>>97306216What do I need to do to make you delete your soul from reality
>>97306232
>>97306101i've been on every collage except the last one. i'm not your boogeyman i just missed his post in the last thread
>>97305390I fell asleep and am late posting my reply, but as >>97305286 and a Dark Angles player, anyone who would actually flip over my Venerable Dread would see the honored battle brothers name written in silver sharpie. Honored Brother Herrington.>>97305405Fuck. It hurts.
>>97306216friend im keeping it 100% serious hereare you for real? not trolling?it is so fucking easy to change the way you postit is so easy to change the way you word shit and to either use new images or to not post with images at allwhy are you so recognizable?like just adjust your vernacularits so fucking easyi have never been recognized onceand ive been here foreverlike if youre just trolling bravo holy shit what commitment to the bit but otherwise jesus fucking christ man just use your head a bitif you use any image you've ever used before you will be recognizedif you use any unique wording you might have used before you will be recognizedjust fucking adopt a new behavioral pattern for a few months and congrats nobody will ever bother you again?
>>97306172She was a former MMA woman Im pretty sure and she did roids. Personally I have absolutely nothing against roids, I kinda think they are cool desu as long as you dont turn red for an amazing reason and have a small dick.
>>97306269roids are extremely gay especially for womenlike just work out fucking idiot lmfaounless youre getting paid to roid in which case yeah go for it lol
>>97305941oath of what hand
>>97306107Not properly 40K (though could still be used in 40K, now I want to kitbash one...) but I fucking love slaughterpriests. Don't know why, just something so intimidating by their stature ig, but I also like how they're all posed as striding forth slowly but surely instead of being absolute raving lunatics. If it absolutely has to be pure 40k only, then any chaplains or hooded spehs mahreens, can't get enough.
>>97306268okay idk if you're trolling yourself but I have dropped all verbiage and have been lurking for days, I use an Image Ive used maybe 3 times over years and people remember it and call me a faggot? Wth am I supposed to do?
>>97306301leave? I think we've all made it pretty clear nobody wants you around for the last two years
>>97306181She has the same body type as inquisitor draxus
>>97306306Well I am not leaving so can we compromise?
>>97306301Go away please
>>97306301 just stop?dont ever use any image youve ever used before? its genuinely extremely simplemake word posts and dont use verbage youve used beforei personally think youre fucking trolling theres no fucking way anyone is this fucked up
>>97306311>Compromise The compromise was you to stop acting like the faggot that you are and you failed within 3 days so clearly no we can't have a compromise
>>97306080>I can't think of a better piece of eldar art I can
>>97306274its like a cheat code to get big though. doing things the easy way is based.
>>97306301You have not. Your posts still glow. I know it must be tough, isolated as you are in assisted living, but try to lurk for real and observe how things work here.
>>97306318
>>97306323attempting to skip up the male respect/female attraction heirarchy out of insecurity is genuinely pathetic, especially if it comes at the cost of your fertility or long term healthlike thats fucking crazy, just exercise
I don't even know if I am supposed to ignore these comments as trolls or listen to their "advise"
>>97306332advice*
>>97306332The fact that you felt the need to even post that means you either have no clue how this place works or you really are trolling.
>>97306347Dude who cares, just discuss Warhammer ffs.
>>97306332>Gets real answers>STOP TRAWLINGGGGYou are absolutely hopeless
>>97306329This. Spend an hour of your day working out - you can of course do more, but just put in effort and you will do yourself so much better than you would using roids and pushing inevitably towards organ failure, psychological damage and potential death. A six day PPL focusing on the groups can melt weight and build muscle in a year or less - if you are willing to put in work and dedication and not be a fat fuck who has deadly levels of carb intake.
>>97306324bro if hes actually doing it dont harass him. yes, he is a fat lolcow. but the issue has always been that he derails the fucking thread like a psycho. if hes growing beyond that then that fixes the primary problem, you dont need to encourage him to regress back to a child. keep it up you disgusting mutant.
>>97306301>have been lurking for daysThat's fucking nothing.
>>97306329>>97306362you know there are safe ways to roid (not that gina carano did because she got roid swole). pic rel, she roided but she obviously also put the work in. warhammer forty thousand.
The twenty-eight-point-five millimeter base is the greatest innovation James has made in the last ten years. So many old scuplts that just didn't work on a 25mm are able to sit so handily on a 28.5 and they look so much better for it. Such a perfect size. The golden ration of bases.
>>97306374Contrary to popular belief, there is not a safe way to roid. You could go on /fit/ and listen to the cult of Tren and go "Well it's probably not that bad..." but you will be doing irreversible damage to your body even with microdoses. Hell, better to use supplements like Creatine in the long run if you absolutely need something to boost your gains.
>>97306374"safe" just means risk mitigation, and again, to reiterate, just fucking exerciseyou can get extremely impressive results with just some fucking basic discipline and consistencyim probably stronger than 90% of people who take roids and I am not even genetically giftedlike just fucking go to the gym you lazy fucks christ
I’ve lost all in interest in 40k. It’s done.
>>97306399See you tomorrow!
>>97306399kill team time!
>>97306403Fuck no. That just brings out the worst in 40k.
>>97306384Creatine doesn't have any long term negatives, right? I could never find any. Outside of taking it in obscenely high doses.>>97306399Hang in there, anon.
>>97306399Why
>>97306411no creatine has no negative long term side effectsit is the most well researched performance compound that exists and it has been shown to have something along the lines of a 30% improvement in muscle building results compared to lifting without itthere is no reason not to take it unless you have some kind of pre-existing kidney condition or something, which you probably dont
Man, I love the Grey Knights. The art and writing in the codex is still really cool, even if people shit on Matt Ward. The miniatures still hold up really well to this very day too.>>97306393Absolutely this. Although I want to say that the average fa/tg/uy could grab a set of dumbbells or barbell and get a daily work out in just fine. It is what I do because I am way too far from a gym for daily travel. Roids are a hazard and a vanity poison.>>97306411>Creatine doesn't have any long term negatives, right? I could never find any. Outside of taking it in obscenely high doses.There is one (1) study that is of dubious quality that claims it leads to hair loss, but it has never come up in other studies. There is a hair loss to working out link but often for genetic reasons.
>>97306421>The miniatures still hold up really well to this very day too.As a former gk lover, they really need an updated line.
>>97306421Grey knights ARE very cool, Anon. But the primer-ass and the nu-scale is coming for them. Slowly, but surely.
>>97306432I hate the people who constantly act like miniatures need a new revision every few years. A quality design and sculpt - no matter how it scales against new miniatures with size creep, will always surpass a revision just to resell X at bigger size, imo. >>97306433Joke is on GW if they think they can stop me from playing old editions or hell, non-GW games with my old minis. Besides, Primaris makes no sense of the GK because they are not "normal" Space Marines. It would be like giving the Primaris nonsense to Custodes. Those minis look really well done too, Anon. Great work!
>>97306421>creatine and working out cause hair loss sorta kinda maybeMakes sense to me. I have a (very)short king friend who started to dedicate his life to working out(natty tho) and he started losing his long hair after a while. Coincidence? I like to think there is a connection atleast because it's funny. He went from skinny fat with loooong greasy hair to a bald fantasy dwarf.
>>97306311Why do you want to force yourself into a community that hates you? I've never seen a single person express admiration or conviviality for you. Just leave.If you don't have the strength for that, then: delete all the images you post, forget all the phrases you use, never post or talk about your models again, and only contribute topical posts to the threads.
>>97306439>I hate the people who constantly act like miniatures need a new revision every few yearsFair enough. But until they get updated, and they will get updated, I'll stick to the very nice and newish black templar sculpts.
>>97306440>cooincidence?probablymale pattern baldness affects 25-30% of men by age 30its extraordinarily commonit probably genuinely is just coincidence
>>97306440I am just glad I kept my hair. I wish I was smart enough to quote exactly how it works but I am not. It is from what I vaguely remember less about the creatine and more that working out boosts hormone levels which causes hair loss from testosterone increases.>>97306451Amusingly enough, if GK had a Black Templar style forced update I think that would be the best possible outcome.
>>97306458yeah it has to do with DHT and sHBG and all that shitif youre natty exercising is not gonna affect your DHT enough to fuck with the life cycle of your hair follicles
>>97304608Does anyone have a better image of the top right Leman Russ. For scientific research purposes.
>>97306318I think it would be funny if there was a short story where a space marine squad nearly wipes out a group of eldar and instead of finishing off the last few xenos, they actually hesitate and let them flee back to their craftworldwhich gets nuked the second they get back and see their loved ones
>>97306439>I hate the people who constantly act like miniatures need a new revision every few years. A quality design and sculpt - no matter how it scales against new miniatures with size creep, will always surpass a revision just to resell X at bigger size, imo.Firstborn are not just shitty because they are shorter than new models, their proportions are also shitty. Dated models are dated.
>>97306421>There is a hair loss to working out link but often for genetic reasons.My best asset is my hair, my dudes. That'd be horrid.
>>97306455Probably but I choose to believe my interpretation because it makes me chortle when I think about his transformation.
>>97306479cmon bruh let the boomers have our nostalgia-glasses
>>97306482i wouldnt recommend hating on him anon lol70-80% of men experience male pattern baldness in their lifetimeyou are more likely than not to lose your hair at some point, I wouldnt fuck with karma XDenjoy that shit while it lasts
>>97306399Get yourself a imperial Fists combat patrol ASAP
>>97306480See >>97306469. I had a similar fear, but the only real worry is if your family has intense male pattern baldness and even that is not a one hundred percent possibility. Working out and getting fit is so worth it, my dude. The freedom of a healthier body and mobility is so wild.
>rebase a couple spare kasrkin I have>suddenly keep looking at ebay listings even though I have 40 to fiddle with that haven't seen a game in three years if everACQUIRE, Brock, ACQUIRE
>>97306479All true but they have something that the new models don't have. I can kind of feel the personality of the sculptor when I look at an old model. All the imperfections and weirdness, like it feels like an actual person made it. New stuff looks too clean and feels like it lacks something. Maybe it is what the kids call sovl?
>>97306490I'm not hating, he looks cool af now. Like my own little Gimli.
>>97306512hell yea
>>97306507If I want Sovl I'll kitbash.
>>97306507I think it's what the adults call nost^lgia
>>97306507That's what's called not having a real complaint and looking for buzzwords to justify your position
>>97306538no its called being unable to fully articulate a feelinghe likes the old shit and cant 100% put into words exactly whyyoure welcome to disagree but its just opinion so theres no reason to even be combative about it unless youre just a faggot in general
>>97306107The current legionnaires kit for CSM is so good. It's missing some of the more fun options from the original kit but for a modern kit it's absolutely stuffed with bitz and looks amazing.
>>97306433I have a feeling the GK refresh is going to be really good. I feel like its an aesthetic thats really good, straightforward and simple and GW literally cant fuck it up. Its perfectly in line with their current style. Worst case: just 3D proont the old GK sculpts but at a 1.3 scale so they are as tall as primerass.
>>97306399We grew tired of your pink and blue csm long ago, surprised it took you this long
>>97306507>they have something that the new models don't haveYeah he already said that. They've got bad cartoony proportions
>>97306399Good riddance decalmutant
>>97306502>20230125So did you rebase them 3 years ago or did you look on ebay 3 years ago
I remember reading that the Imperium is actually more merciless to planets that are falling/have fallen to the Tau than planets that go the usual chaos rebellion route. This is because they consider Tau ideals to be more subversive than chaos. Additionally, chaos reaffirms the Imperium's harsh actions and ideals.
>>97306609You know that's not me yet you insist on taunting me. Please go be a busy body somewhere else.
>>97306617>T-thats not me I'm just here as soon as you name-drop meLol

>>97306630>>97306637>>97306641>grogs when the blurry art with muddy colours and bad proportions is NEW >:(>grogs when the blurry art with muddy colours and bad proportions is OLD:OOOOOOO
>>97306612No one wants gue'vesa. Only faggot no model coomers. No one wants Kroot or other aliens. Only chaos and Imperium. The few actual Taufags want suits and Tau, not humans, vespids, kroot, squats, corsairs, or whatever other species ally or sell themselves out to them.
>>97306649This but unironicallyIf the wear and tear on the image is a genuine sign of the times its fair gameOtherwise its just shitty
>>97306659But the Blancheslop always looked like that. It's not a product of it actually aging lmao, are you fucking retarded? They're less than 40 years old done in acrylics
>>97306666Its called taste anon
>>97306676>erm actually I can't come up with any objective reason it's better so you are le dumb XDI accept your concession. Just stay out of conversations about art in the future if you can't articulate your opinion
>>97306685Unsurprisingly the bottom dwelling coupon-user is incapable of understanding good art without a walkthroughOh well
>>97306691>he still has nothing to say and he's still typingNot like this bro lmfaoo
>>97306693I accept your concession tasteless-anon
>>97306698Sorry sweaty you need to actually make an argument first. Try again (:
>>97306704No we’re done hereI’m not the type to gloat or rub it in after winning an argument
>>97306685Just ignore him. This is the argument of every other fake grog for just about everything from art to minis to fluff. You aren't going to get anywhere. They've spent the better part of 2 decades pretending to be interested in something
does anyone know where i can buy the nu-victrix honor guard boxes that arent ebay scalped to fuck and back? ill even take recasts or proxies at this point......
>>97306649I'm not a huge fan of the guy myself, I think a lot of his art looks fucking dumb. This particular SoB art annoys me that people like it. But I like his admech stuff because they kind of get away with looking disproportionate and weird since they cut all their limbs off with an angle grinder, then duct taped 4 blenders to the stumps.
>>97306711Here's your last (you) since you've typed 3 messages in a row without providing any semblance of an argument. I expect better from you next time, maybe ask grok or gpt for some fancy art words so you can pretend to know what you're talking about
>>97306728you're so cooky anon
>>97306607Nuhh don't shatter my grog goggles, or groggles as I like to call them!!!
>>97306720Just give it a bit anon. Nu honour guard are gonna see another printing. They're just busy getting stuff ready for 500 worlds so the presses are busy. They'll be back before end of summer for sure though, just keep an eye on the store
>>97306735What does that even mean
>>97306720wait do GW expect us to paint a whole ass mural on those banners? Not Victrix they probably have presculpted ones I mean like with Ancients and stuff. How do people do it when they suck ass at drawing?
Put a pause on painting rubrics until I could try out Vallejo's true metallic metal paints. The one on the left is called Aged Metal and isn't what I want for the trim, but I really like the colour itself so will have to find something to use it with later on. The other two are imperial gold and arcane gold, going to see how they look with some of the different true metallic blues.
>>97306757The flag detail is sculpted.
>>97306757>How do people do it when they suck ass at drawing?They don't. They usually find an excuse to not do it like everything else in this hobby whether it be faces, skin, eyes, writing on purity seals, nmm, osl, or whatever else you decide you don't want to do but can't just admit you aren't interested in doing it
>>97306720tasty looking gingerbread banneryou've improved so much since you started queen
>>97306757Most contemporary banner bits have sculpted detail.
>>97306761This red cutting mat combined with the>I've decided to stop working productively on my project in order to test things for something else unrelatedIs really giving me severan dominatefag energy and I really hope I'm wrong.
>>97306757You can see the raised edges in that pic there, or you can check the sprue pics on the Warhams store. All modern banners have sculpted detail.
>>97306728I already accepted your concession anon theres no reason to keep humiliating and emasculating yourself
>>97306781This is all I had done previously. Just test models trying to get the colours I want (dark metallic blue similar to the codex cover art), so nothing that productive and definitely related I think?>Is really giving me severan dominatefag energy I don't know what that means.
>>97306107I don't bother with monopose nonmodular minis. They are all inherently shit. Mini kits are just a collection of bits I clip out of the sprue as soon as possible and sort into bit boxes. Their value is in quantity and quality of unique looking bits. Only way I can acquire HQs/singular unique models is through discount boxes like Start Collecting/Patrols/Battleforces. I don't have any named character for any of my armies.
>>97306816Good to hear. Severan dominatefsg was some guy who posted for months about building out his own /yourdudes/ regiment but was always coming g up with one more excuse as to why he couldn't start. He got to a point where he had like 500$ in 3rd Party bits, then built 3 identically posed guys, basecoated them over a Doan of months and then claimed he wanted to use diy washes for some other project and had spent 3 months bruteforcing his own recipes with nothing to shoe of his work outside a half dozen swatches of wash on a piece of plasticard. Testing like you're doing is find, just don't let it become the hobby in of itself and you'll be good
>>97306650I don't like Mechs at all and only want more auxiliaries for Tau. Tau need second Kroot wave in addition to new auxiliaries and some expansion to Vespid. Tau themselves don't need more stuff ever again. I guess basic Fire Warriors are ok.
>>97306855>Testing like you're doing is find, just don't let it become the hobby in of itself and you'll be goodI mean, I already multiple armies worth of grey plastic so I figured it was time to move on to the next part of the hobby (collecting piles of paint so I can paint a couple of models and never commit to a scheme).
Tau refits for captured or surplus Imperium vehicles soon.>in which the railgun baneblade becomes the least balanced thing in the game
>>97306896Why would tau ever refit imperial vehicles? They have more than enough of their own.
>>97306757I always had custom decals printed on a really thing paper at any local printing place, soak it in glue than matte varnish over it to lock it in place.
>>97306907Why waste good equipment? They can have their newly conquered humans use them as fodder too.
>>97306870>never commit to a schemeOh that's me! I love kitbashing/converting the most so I put a bunch of energy in that, then grow cold feet when I start testing out paint job. Doesn't help I'm not a naturally good painter and tend to pick tricky schemes. So far in my armies of shame I have >AoS lizards - too many colours, nope>AoS khorne - picked a brass/white colour scheme with blood splatter, then realised I'd have to paint white...>AoS undead - couldn't decide how to paint them that wasn't too stereotypical>40k inquisitorial stormtrooper army with deathwatch accompaniment - my most painted/complete army, just got a little tired painting so. much. black.>honourable mentions: RT's personal murder squad (ca: mechanicus) and the fallen csm kill teams - kitbash projects that were tricky and taking a lot of time, didn't quite get to painting stageIn any case, don't mind anon there being a grump. Hopefully posting here spurs you on to not dwell at any one particular stage of your project! I'm currently pushing myself to do a TOW tzeentch army and sell off all those old projects (barring the kill teams), and planning to post progress pics in appropriate places to spur me on too.
>>97306913You can also just buy transparent waterslide decal sheets and print on those.
>>97306917Yeah, there are a bunch of different aspects to the hobby, it's not surprising if one hooks someone more than another and they decide to focus on that.
>>97306915Why would the Tau consider it "good equipment" to begin with?
>>97306945Because they then have an alternative to "oh no gue'la, we can't trust you with any of our shit"
>>97306954The Tau would have to dedicate production to producing replacement parts, otherwise as soon as some widget breaks the tank is useless. Production that would be better spent producing Tau equipment.
>>97306920I dont have a compatible printer for it at home. I dont like buying printers in my country because they are all scams and I hvaent found one that isnt like... idk I dont want to get into autistic printer conspiracies but essentially they are designed to be traceable + all use proprietary ink and it just feels like extremely evil capitalist junk. Its honestly cheaper to just have a printing place do it considering how much you get gouged on the supplies.
>>97306964>the imperial planet we're over-taking cannot produce its own sci-fi Hillux
>>97306965Sounds bizzare. Just avoid HP at any cost. Fuck them in particular. Fuck them. I find Brother to be reliable enough
>>973069653D print your own printer, can't be traced that way. I can type all the ransom letters I want and the glowies can't get me.
>>97306917>then realised I'd have to paint whiteAnd so my dreams of a white scar army died.
>>97306971Baneblades are produced at forgeworlds. Not the kind of thing that the Imperium would allow the Tau take without a fight, unlike some backwater world of subsistence farmers.
>>97306995Oh boy I wonder how blood pact managed to snag so many bane blades then
>>97306995Why are we jumping from "imperial equipment" which is basically everything from the Leman Russ tractor trailer and beyond to just some of the most top of the line shit?And the Imperium can barely shit with its pants down. A forgeworld slipping to T'au is plausible because someone fucked up their 27,275th form confirming it exists. I'm not even a Taufag, I just like pointing out how dogshit the Imperium is even with stuff they deem important.
>>97306973Brother is one of the worst actually. Probably the worst, and they have ties to the CIA. I'm 100% serious. LMAO.
>>97306965Do you not have print shops in your country?
>>97306965buy a kyocera printer those are decent, most consoomer grade printers are utter garbage, kyocera is good stuff just like canon, basically just buy a japanese printer, they know better.
>>97307005>Why are we jumpingNo one's jumping. The first post that mentioned Tau refits included a railgun baneblade.Do you think the admech that ran the forgeworld wouldn't fight to defend it? And, failing to defend it, would leave anything in good enough condition for the Tau to corrupt with their heresy?
>>97306999There's a difference between looting produced materiel and making it yourself.
>>97306855kek i'm pretty sure that guy was the sand schizo over on /wip/ tooi think he's one of those people who likes the idea of building, converting and painting but not the actual process itself
>>97307005>A forgeworld slipping to T'au is plausible because someone fucked up their 27,275th form confirming it exists.Mechanicum keeps track of their own worlds and if one of them was in danger of going off the reservation, they'd most definitely intervene. They don't like Imperium misusing their tech, so why would they allow some filthy alien commies taking it?
>>97307008Not in my experience. They just werk and don't break. HP on other hand keeps breaking and sperging out constantly. All the fucking time for some inane reasons. Once I had a case where new HP printer refused to work for someone. Turns out it had some DRM where you could only print like 10 pages and then had to register it and unlock through HP application. But app itself was buggy and couldn't even register printer properly, it only worked for like 30 seconds because reasons. Printer had to print some test first to unlock it but couldn't since 10 first prints were already printed too. I spent hours trying to fix it. Eventually did it with some arcane rituals by using both phone app and then somehow logging into desktop app and very quickly clicking required option before app broke again. Later I found that it was some weird version of printers they stopped making quickly because they were too shit for HP even. I have PTSD from HP shit. Fuck those guys. Fuck em in particular
game newfag, here they've got some adeptus mechanicus sets on this local store here along with grey knights, if I just enjoy moving parts and painting stuff which one would I like better? I like both aesthetics desu. I will admit that I am a secondary who hasn't even consumed much 40k media except for that book where Gullimwhatever spelled woke up and was tired, and that one excerpt read here by an anon who read Malcador force choking Horus, and one of the Dawn of War expansions off an internet cafe a long time ago.
>>97305968What does that even mean? Armageddon even had its own boardgame and such.Anyway 500 world will be the same old story as always>Imperial guard is getting pummeled>the space marine came>Beat the shit out the enemies small fishes>Evil faction shows off its secret big bad>Agaisnt all odds (even if it happened like 100 time in the past 10 years) the space marines beat the shit out the stronger enemy with the power of friendship and and the "indomitable human spirit">"And so once again the day is saved, thanks to the Space Marines!">Casuality: milions of imperial guards, thousand of enemies, one space marine got his helmet nicked
>>97307009anon literally says they use printing services because of anti printer autism. I think you need chat GPT to summarize for you.
>10 days until Corsairs>And it's only official announcementAaaaaaaaYou reckon Yriel and Huron will get a cinematic like Titus did at least?

>>9730716646mm tall, is that too big for warhammer?
>>97307179I am coming. I can feel it.
Is one page rules really better as a warhammer ruleset?
>>97307216Flavorless garbage. I blame it for shrimplification of 10th edition.
>>97307179Hopefully soOtherwise I wasted tons of money buying all their minis so I can paint them even after they ruin the faction with the refresh.
>>97307216Just try it for yourself? I personally don't like it because it removes all flavor from the units.
>>97307216OPR is a wargame, 40k is a collectible boardgame.Different strokes for different folkes.I found OPR really boring meanwhile 40k have the big problem that you could play aos instead which the fixed version of 40k.Personally I suggest playing bolt action with 40k minis
>>97307216OPR is going to shit atm.
>>97305941why the hell would GW tie their gaming mats to some stupid store celebration?the game requires a mat but they dont even sell any
>>97307246>Wow this faction battleline unit have the unique ability of "shitting on ground"! (aka sticky objectives)>Wow this other faction battleline unit meanwhile have the unique ability of "territorial pissing"! (aka sticky objectives)Truly flavourful anon
This can Only end well.
Damn, December was tiny.
Ravener enthusiast here, a week after finding a box of raveners ive finally found a trygon! Well its a mawloc but close enough. Thought id let everyone know
>>97307286Its a shit time of year for it + there isnt too many terrain enthusiasts in these generals
>>97307289Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Really exciting stuff.
>>97307289Did you found a box of raveners?? Shit I'm searching for them since months! Good job.
>>97305941i know 3 people that play guard/astra militarum and they are all autisticare all guard players autistic? should playing guard in 40k replace the ADOS?
>>97307291Yeah, i understand why it's just funny seeing it go from 30 to 9.At least I got mine in before the deadline woo
>>97307307Yeah found the one shop in the entire country that had 2 boxes in stock. I refreshed the page and suddenly there was only one in stock, shit is so sought after and you won't find anyone selling them second hand>>97307296No worries, any time
So the GW store finder also points to independent retailers, will those also carry anniversary models or does it really have to be an official Warhammer store?
>>97307355Pretty sure it has to be one of the official GW stores because I have already heard independent LGS owners complaining that they can't stock these models even if customers want to order them.
>>97307339They are the last tyranids I need, but I only found an ebay listing from the USA will would cost a ton, hopefully in the next years someone having them in their backlog will start to sell some boxes
>>97307363Shit, no way am I traveling all the way to one of those for a model. But since they are soon making the last round of models available online I guess these might pop up again next year or so.
>>97307365I also hate to buy them used as they were full of bits
>>97307307>Did you foundFound and redeemed
>>97306574>I feel like its an aesthetic thats really good, straightforward and simple and GW literally cant fuck it upThat's exactly what everybody would have said about normal Space Marines before GW somehow found a way to totally fuck it all up.

>>97306479>Firstborn are not just shitty because they are shorter than new models, their proportions are also shitty. Dated models are dated.40k is a silly setting inherently. Insisting on "realistic" proportions is fucking retarded, the chunkyness is the point and fits the tone.Primaris proportions are like the fucking picatinny rails; only retards who immigrated from halo like that trash.

I've been playing these fandom wordle puzzle game things online and I was wondering is there a warhammer equivalent?googling it and all i can really find is the tww one which is not what I want at all. here's the pokemon one as an example https://pokedle.com/
>>97307512once you go past 3 damage then the -1 effect doesnt really help, its probably worse than the old half damage ability. all of the ctan are getting buffed btw, im guessing it will be the same shit (all deep strike, more wounds, better save, better move, half damage scrapped for -1 damage)
>>97307610>>97307634You need something with damage really high to actually do more than before.
>>97307641Time to bring the big guns.
>>97307641>close range meltafire dragon chads we win again
>>9730764160 multi-meltas will do it
>>97307557>Thoughts?Put more effort into your bait.
>>97307653Has ever existed an edition in which Fire Dragons weren't able to devastate their target?
>>97307641melta damage is applied after any damage reducing effects, right? why wouldn't i just get up in his face with big meltas?
>>97307557this is too lenient for loretubers. GW needs to hire ex-SAS PMCs to raid their homes and execute them
>>97307678>why wouldn't i just get up in his face with big meltas?Good question, why wouldn't you? It's a pretty good solution
>>97307641Nice monster keyword.*laughs in graviton blast cannon*
>>97307695starcraft posting was last thread ago.
>>97306630Just buy the FW Myrmidons and change some things
Votann are tough mofosShould have prioritized the vehicles over the Infantry. Got tabled and he still had 2 Land Fortresses while I had one Demon Prince left
>>97307641>you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about
>>97307708I CANT STOP FUCKING LAUGHING OH MAN THE FUCKING OH MAN FUCKING HELL MAN build a block lookin aah.
>>97307708I take it he wasn't a fan of wheels
>>97307708Which affliction did you end up choosing? The -1 to hit fucks Votann up hard, especially if you stay off of your objectives for the first turn or two.
>>97307721-saveI think I would have won if I had my brick of Plague marines focus on one of the land fortress and my drones focus on the Thunderkyn that I just wiped with my marines- hit works well but has 0 effect on the Land Fortress since that thing ignores Hit reductionBuri was surprisingly easy to deal with
>>97307713Whats wrong?>>97307716Yeh
>>97307737>- hit works well but has 0 effect on the Land Fortress since that thing ignores Hit reductionThat's true but it still works on the entire rest of the army. Forcing them to hit on 5s is nasty. That being said though I obviously didn't play the game so you've probably got a better idea on how it went down than I did.>Buri was surprisingly easy to deal withYeah, he's a cool looking model but he is a bit of a meme. I still need to try him out in my games but everything I've seen of him from other sources shows he's not the greatest pick most of the time.
>>97307708hah get friggin owned chaos fucking shiton a serious note, how did the steeljack with disintegrators work out for the other guy? also what was his detachment?
>>97306080Yeah the right was inspiration for a GD entry
Building up my Ynnari models for the Ynnari vs Tyranids game on Sunday. Curious to see how Ynneads gals and bois handle the 'nids.
>>97307817Good luck Be sure to take pictures and give us a short battle report here afterwards
Blue for broadside team and red for riptides?
>>97307557I wish it was true, both because it would fail horribly and loretuber parasites would eat shit
>>97307819Nah, my models only turned up today so they won't be painted and if I bother trying to talk about the game I'll just get nothing but "unpainted -10vps lol" and "paint your models lmao"
>>97307828that's pretty neat, what colour are you going to paint them?
>>97307817It surprises me that I've never seen art of Yvraine getting railed by a Nid, considering her only value seems to be in porn.
>>97307842Be the change you want to see buddy. Be the change I want to see.
>>97307832And? If you plan to paint them and you already have your own justification for it that is reasonable to yourself, then it shouldn't bother you. You have no need to defend yourself against lazy insults and that only encourages hecklers further. Engage with things you care to engage with. Distance yourself from things that you do not. If it does bother you, just talk about the game and your list and don't post pictures. Or do a top down color-coded shapes layout of the battle and talk about it in broad strokes that way if you're up for some effort posting.
>>97307842She only gets taken by dead gods.
>>97307780He was using the detachment where infantry gets sustained hits if near a transport. He thought it was kinda midI agree since what really wrecked my ass was the Land Fortresses. Also the really pricey and powerful strat that caught me offguard was the "If you shoot at infantry near my vehicle I can spend 2 CP and 2 Votann points to make my Fortress shoot whatever shot at my infantry". Merked my marine brick
>>97307842The Ynnari books even have them visit a Craftworld overtaken by Genestealers, feels like a missed opportunity.
>>97307833like this. I started another thing (broadside) cuz im faiting for some paint and kork i arderd for base so i can finish riptide
>>97307850>your listWell I can at least talk about that right now while I wait on the magnets to stick to my Venom (I HATE gluing magnets to flight stands btw).Devoted of Ynnead Detachment.Yvraine5 Incubi1 Venom10 Kabalite Warriors1 Raider10 Dire Avengers5 Wraithguard5 Warp Spiders1 Harlequin Solitaire985 PointsFighting Nids, not sure what but I know my mate is bringing Swarmlord and a Screamer-Killer.Plan for my units is:Yvraine and Incubi in Venom racing around killing important heroes/elite unitsRaider/Kabalites sticky-ing objectivesDire Avengers dealing with hordesWraithguard being anti-monsterWarp Spiders being my anti-horde/shit-didn't-see-that-coming response unit hopping about dealing with any unexpected threatsSolitaire as a suicide melee sniper racing about and contributing his insane damage output wherever it's need and then presumably dying.
>>97307875>1 Harlequin SolitaireYou can't take him. He's an Epic Hero.
>>97307780Also I think SteelJacks are just better than the Votann TerminatorsBetter guns, tough to get rid off, 3 wounds and way cheaper.Also it didnt do much to my drone but overwatch being hits on 4+ on them would have ripped apart my marines
>>97307881Ah fuck I missed that. I was originally going to bring a Voidweaver instead so I'll just toss that into the list in his place. Serves a similar purpose, fast, high damage but fragile. Thanks for pointing that out, anon.
>>97307874what are the white bits going to be when it's done?
>>97307892Yeah it's a really dumb rule considering there's Ynnari fluff with Solitaires actively helping them. Was most likely a side effect of the big implosion GW put them through in the Codex.
>>97307899They should be able to get a shitton more than they can but I'll take what I can get at this point ffs. Ynnari are so close to be squatted I'm happy to have anything related to them on the table. 10th is Sad Days for men who like SOUP.
>>97307892>VoidweaverSuch a fucking sexy unit, be happy you've an excuse to take it.
>>97306761the application looks grainyIDK if you're using a brush or can/airbrush for all or some of them, but you probably need to mix the paints up more before applying. For can and airbrush many more things can result in a bad finish, but applying too thickly is the next most likely problem to result in a grainy metal finish.
>Practically on the verge of being killed off by GW>Still the most popular and recognized Eldar characterHow odd
>>97307925No one said GW was smart, anon.

>>97307893i want to make them look like heated metal but im totally out of red paint so im waiting. Not sure on color on weapons tho
>>97307937He's got this.
Fuck.Ynnari Voidweavers look really fucking annoying to paint. Trying to get that white pattern over so much read and black will be a bloody chore.
>>97307610Only memeguns like flat 12 damage and shit are good into him. D6 is worse than before, and D6+1 is only so slightly better. You need to go all the way to flat damage 4 to even see an improvement, and flat damage 4 is not common whatsoever.
>>97307958LOOOOOK :(I might just do a white stripe or white details or something instead.
>>97307937You like the DG aura? Well lets give it to a subfaction
>>97307925Says more about Eldar popularity and recognition in general.
>>97307961Painting Harlequins seem like a kind of masochism.
>>97307981Sadly because of how much of a Ynnari fan I am I need to have a mix of Dark Eldar, Craftworlders, Harlequins, Corsairs and Exodites on table. Purely due to autism. My pain is entirely self-inflicted.
>>97307925>>Practically on the verge of being killed off by GWThis might sound weird but Ynnari are actually more of an army in 10e than in any edition prior. And that's simply because this time around they have a bunch of bespoke datasheets for deldar units.
Isn't there reason to believe Ynnari are gonna get squatted soon? Its the only thing putting me off getting them.
>>97307979It amazes me that with a single joke picture GW killed an entire faction's narrative for 10+ years.
>>97307583after the Victrix debacle i have zero trust on them pointing stuff correctly this late into the edition
>>97307981Too true.Also tried FDM Eldrad, but he's too much of a twink and his arms won't print.
>>97307998 True, but at the cost of having access to few Dark Eldar units than ever.>>97307999Lack of support, presences in the story being reduced to the point of near-irrelevance, a growing hatred of SOUP factions within GW, and so on.No one has directly said they'll be squatted directly, but I feel it in my core.Rarely do the factions and things I like stick around :(
>>97307999The 10E codex for Eldar made a point of showing that the Ynnari are being abandoned wholesale by the rest of the Eldar.The upcoming Maelstrom plotline for Yriel is all about him going to find ancient Eldar weapons in order to convince Iyanden's leading council to break away and stop supporting the Ynnari as well.It's nothing concrete but it's really not looking good for Yvraine.
In the old times, the before times, there were only two camps: Primaries and Secondaries.The Primaries painted models. They owned rulebooks and codices. Some even played the game, and discussed models and painting and rules on places like /tg/, dakkadakka, and B&C. Then came 2004, and the Secondaries emerged from the shadow of Dawn of War. They knew their place however, and bowed to the neckbearded primaries, not claiming to know more than they, not obsessing over things they did not understand, for they were honest. They enjoyed only vidya and memes. Some ascended to the rank of primary after wandering into their local LGS. Many others remained secondaries.And so, with the hierarchy in place, order reigned. But behind closed doors in Nottingham, a scheme was being hatched. "Ah, Black Library is kind of shit" said a publishing suit. "But what if we serialized the shit out of it and paid people to put Black Library books on the NYT Bestsellers list?"And so, in 2006, the Horus Heresy novels were published.Many secondaries picked up these books. Their retardation-addled minds, having never read any text beyond Dr. Seuss picture books, proclaimed them to be Shakespeare. And lo, some primaries with good intentions but slow minds created wikis for the secondaries, including 1d4chan, compiling their knowledge of pedantic fluff on these sites, and the secondaries rejoiced and began to shit up the pages with stuff they made up in their heads. And so a new breed of secondary was formed: a new definition. "THE LORE" was placed above all other things, and now a simpleton who only played vidya could now read second-rate pulp novels and start claiming to "UNDERSTAND BETTER" than the primaries despite having never opened a rulebook of codex. And so a second wave of "literary" secondaries who didn't even play Dawn of War were birthed, who worshipped "THE LORE."And so the post was too long, and split into two.

>>97308003Don;t fool yourself anon. Eldar were a joke decades before it. Gathering Storm was just a final nail in the coffin.
>>97307925GW is retarded and doesn't know what to do with the only popular character the Eldar have, water is wet.
>>97308051Those secondaries who did not undergo this transformation remained in their place, and so became the first tertiaries.And behind closed doors, some secondaries began to scheme."What if I buy sourcebooks, read their contents into a microphone, insert some headcanon, and then upload the recording to Youtube? I could make shitloads of money!"And so loretubers, the wretched things, were birthed. And so unending waves of secondaries were spawned from this, and as more vidya games were released, more tertiaries would begin to appear, who would become secondaries due to the loretubers, and so their voices became ever louder, until the voices of the primaries were drowned out, and Warhammer 40,000 as a franchise became a massive game of telephone. Many primaries were appalled by this development, for now secondaries were invading their spaces, saying the most retarded shit imaginable and killing everyone's brain cells. Something had to be done. But what?"Gatekeep!" they said. And so there was an attempt.But the secondaries, despite their retardation, had an animal cunning. "Yes!" some secondaries said. "We should gatekeep! And keep watching loretubers, and never buy models, preserve THE LORE!" And so the effort to gatekeep out the secondaries failed, because the secondaries hijacked the movement and used it to get into arguments with other secondaries and tertiaries.The overlords at GW, gazing from the peak of Barad-dûr (also known as Warhammer World), looked down upon their customers and non-customers like a scientist looks at a culture in a petri dish."Add female custodes."And so the secondaries began to fight themselves. A prophecy emerged. One that predicted the end of all secondaries. It says that GW will copyright strike the loretubers, and so the secondaries will shrivel and die.And there would be peace.
>>97308022Yvraine is going to go psycho and become the Nagash of 40k seeking death for all the living
>>97308063It just occure to me that I can model the Exarch with dual pistols because of the Triskele loadout, and I'm now very tempted to do so.
>>97308093I think GW is just going sweep her and Ynnari under the rug and never talk about them again.
>>97308093If that happens then Yvraine would be even more based. I'd prefer more stories of her then the gay pirates
>>97308093She could never become Nagash. Her hat game is too weak.
>>97308104As they should, Ynnari are cringe. Yvraine should have stayed a "will kill Slaanesh when the eldar go extinct during a hypothetical end times scenario" thing.
>>97308051>>97308090Never post again.
>>97308116Fuck, not Yvraine, I meant Ynnead. FUCK I need to kill myself for mistyping
>>97308093Better narrative than anything Mike Brooks could cook up
>>97308022>The upcoming Maelstrom plotline for Yriel is all about him going to find ancient Eldar weapons in order to convince Iyanden's leading council to break away and stop supporting the Ynnari as well.Well good thing Yrel is going to job dramatically.
>>97308116Remember Iyanna Arienal and the Tears of Morai-Heg?GW sure doesn't.
>>97308127It was mentioned in the recent 10th Aeldari codex.
>>97308051>>97308090look, man, everything you said is true except for that schizo shit at the end about copyright strikes, but you presented it in the most retarded way possible.
>>97308129Which one, the tears or Iyanna?
>>97308124Shit up and sit down Yriel. A crippled bisexual dark eldar woman is talking (about how much she loves Ultramarines).
>>97308127She was in a short story with Yriel just two weeks ago.
>>97308093And we won't get any more retarded memes about her fucking Guilliman that secondaries treat as canon, right? Right?
>>97308144Both.
>Ultrachads being the true narrative focus once again >Titus is the official mascot of 40k for normalfags with GW making him broken for metafags How do they keep getting away with it?
Fun fact. GW has never again mentioned that the Spear of Twilight that Yriel wields is a Cronesword outside of that one book.In fact, GW has never printed the word Cronesword once in any of their promotional material on their website.
I fucked a nidtranny AMA
>>97308093That'd too fucking AWESOME a plot line for GW to ever do
>>97308159Neat.>mentions Ynnead tooHonestly surprising. Maybe Yvraine, Ynnead and the Ynnari aren't so dead as a plot point.
>>97308165What if I told you the head of the GW balance team plays both Ultramarines and Necrons?
>>97308093Meh, boring and predictable.Keeping her as a Guilliman's cocksleeve ally is better and more interesting.
>>97308093>We have Sylvanas at home
>>97308185>dae eldar and humans should be allies in this story about the imperium rotting away into a pest-ridden corpse and the eldar fading away into nothing in a galaxy of unending carnage and warfareYou should go back to marvel movies if you want noblebright capeshit.
>>97308178The Ynnari plotline is really interesting because Eldar haven't been relevant for anything other then jobbing or sabotaging themselves. At least with the Ynnead story stuff was actually happening but GW fumbles everything xeno related
>>97308198I didn't say that. Also ironic you talk about marvel movies when you're the one using reddit spacing. Pipe down.

>>97308206Prawn of War
Opinions on War Walker squardons, specifically in the Devoutees of Ynnead detachment? Currently debating getting a squardon of these because they seem really good but fairly fragile?
>>97308206>What all Necrons learn, through dread reputation or traumatic experience, is that a pall of psychosis follows Ammentar and twists the minds of those it passes near, turning everyone from the lowest tomb world orderly to the highest Overlord* into raging beasts hungry for death on a galactic scale.Did they confuse it with the flayer virus?
>>97307557>the year is 2021. GW is copyright striking fan content so they can draw eyes to their exclusive platform. >the year is 2026. GW is copyright striking fan content so they can draw eyes to their exclusive platformcan't wait for the repeat of "AHHHH EVERYONE BOYCOTT GW," nothing actually happening as a result, and GW having even more money as a result of the decision in 5 years
>>97308215They're going to meld them into one thing because they're tired of pointing out that flayed ones are technically not destroyer cult in every single entry about them.
>>97308198Hate to break it for you, but IoM simply cannot hold for it's "le-grimdark" appearance (if it ever could).And Eldar were Imperium's sidekicks ever since Gothic War.
>>97308173how tight was the hole
>>97308215>Did they confuse it with the flayer virus?no, that's what the destroyers have always been
>>97308222Did they really got any huge money from WH+?
>>97307937>Using even one at a time is a dangerous endeavour, so Crypteks have to use special bindings – in the form of this Detachment’s Enhancements – to leash their captive weapons. Letting a single shard run amok is completely out of the question, so unlike most other Detachments, these Enhancements are mandatory upgrades. Oh cool so it's like you have to choose a drawback in exchange for such a powerful detachment abili->That’s really not a drawback, though, because they’re all pretty great.Oh. Fucking okay. Why have it be interesting, after all?
>>97308198>Reddit spacingYou need to go back
>>97308211I used to despise the models but honestly they grew on me. Unit wise they're platforms for heavy weapons to make up for what your army might be lacking, but usually best for Brightlances to snipe with.
>>97308249he didn't reddit-space, this is reddit-spacing.
>has not read the fluff in any rulebook this edition>has very strong opinions on the fluff in all the rulebooks this editionIt's a very strange combination that is seemingly very common.
>>97308215No, it's always been depicted as a possibly infectious thought process of intense nihilism. What's more of a retcon is that it can infect regular mindless Necrons now, whereas before it kind of required a mind to infect.
>>97308230extremely. and she was very clean. unfortunately I was forced to stare at her weird ass lesbian she-rah posters on her wall while fucking her. not sure why she has lesbian posters, she has a dick and I'm a fat guy.
>>97308236No? Destroyers wre feared for possibly being infectious, but it was never confirmed that they were before.Destrpyers were often exiled, but not out of the dynasties but to the fringe tomb worlds. Some Dynasties retain the service of Destroyer Cults and Phaerons like Imotekh has a high executioners who are Destroyers
>>97308172That is a fun fact.
>>97308239I mean the service has been going for almost 5 years now and I have friends from my LGS who tell me they regularly watch the series they put on there. Pretty sure it wouldn't be around if it wasn't making some kind of profit to justify its existence
>>97308287>Pretty sure it wouldn't be around if it wasn't making some kind of profit to justify its existenceYou mean like LLMs?
>>97308276All Necrons should be destroyers, necrons should seek to exterminate all life because that's cooler. They should also worship C'tan. Literally just bring back the 3e-4e necron lore but keep the talking necron lords with personalities, it's that simple.
>>97308292this is the gayest post in the thread so far
>>97308287No no no. I am sure it's at least returns the money spend on it. But judging by lack of any progress with their animation it doesn't seems like it makes huge impact on GW profits.
>>97308292That's really stupid. I like Destroyers because they're a fringe psycho cult. If they were the norm it would be boring.
>>97308206The Destroyer Curse isn't a virus. What the fuck? Its origins are a mystery, and it's often tied to existing mental damage in the afflicted Necrons.TEEGEE GW is retconning things needlessly again.
>>97308239It seems like a pretty lightweight streaming service compared to Netflix etc, they don't have to pay for licensing rights or anything since most if not all content on WH+ is made in-house, and many people get it just for stuff like the legacy pdfs and exclusive yearly minis. In 2022 the WH+ subscriber base was 1/5 of the official Warhammer YT channel's subscriber base, so their cheap ass service is probably adding a little extra money to those quarterly reports, probably makes as much as or more than black library per month
>>97307875>I HATE gluing magnets to flight stands btwRaiders and Venoms have bottom spikes that let them side on the table without needing stands. Just thought you'd like to know, spare you some pain
>>97308236>>97308269Flayers and destroyers are different things though?Flayed ones are caused by the "flayer virus", which is speculated to exist because the Necrons shattered the c'tan known as Llandu'gor the Flayer, and the flayer virus is basically his final curse/punishment upon the necron for betraying and killing him.I'm pretty sure that destroyers are not made by the same thing.
>>97307264>opr is going to shit.Can I get a rundown?Wanted to use it as a backup 40k.
Why do they keep calling the new Necron character "It". Don't they have a gender?
>>97308304The guy who made astartes made it all for free in his spare time, judging by the wildly varying animation quality on WH+ i'm pretty sure the animation costs for something like Astartes are just "lol, here's a paycheck, work on it somehow." I mean, they clearly have some kind of animation studio for some of their stuff, but it all seems pretty cheap by today's standards judging by the low quality (by professional standards) of stuff like their edition trailers, Tithes, etc
>want to get back into hobby, building up my first 1k point army>look at my unbuilt tsons>I don't want to build them>look at other tsons models>I don't want to buy themI was expecting to get filtered by the painting phase.
>>97308342They are all just Information Technology now. They are beyond binary genders and are on to binary coded.
>>97308342they probably did once, now they're just metalnecrons have neither souls nor genitals, because of their delusions they might believe they have things like gender and behave as such, but necrons are things, not people.
>>97308172That's a rather odd and incorrect thing to assert. Like, why?
>>97307557>Thoughts?Fictitious and homosexual until it happens.Also them trying to copyright claim/strike videos that talk/discuss about 40k lore is not something they can copyright.It'd be the same as Nintendo striking a video that is just discussing about metroid. It's not against copyright law or fair use or in anyway illegal for someone to make a video discussing a certain topic.
>>97308309They always retcon things needlessly. It's a shitty toy soldier franchise writing-wise, always has been. Militaries really do need to go door-to-door and shoot anyone who treats Warhammer like it's some essential piece of high art
>>97308331literally rent free
>>97308287Even if it wasn’t making a profit, if it’s getting good or okay reception it’s basically a loss leader.
>>97308367>Like, why?Because he wants to be angry about something. It's how Lefties and Browns operate, they must always be annoyed about something even if that thing does not exist.
>>97308342The point is that this one is so detached from personality that it's just a killing machine
>>97308339OPR saw 40k's rules designers one-up them in terms of streamlining the rules design with 10th ed and collectively went fucking insane, anon.
>>97308368>Also them trying to copyright claim/strike videos that talk/discuss about 40k lore is not something they can copyright.It doesn't matter, youtube would take them down automatically and it would be difficult to contest outside of court.
>>97308370People like you are the reason why female marines will be added.You just roll over and turn the other cheek when GW rapes the lore and then just mewl something about "it's le shitty toy soldier franchise..." while GW then just does it again and you promptly roll over again.
>>97308325No one is saying they're the same thingThey're just both infectious but one is a supernatural curse and the other is an infectious thought process
>>97308366You don't lose your gender if you upload your mind into a machine. You lose your sex.Learn how language works!
>>97308387Care to provide an example or are we just borderline vague posting now?
>>97308389No, it really wouldn't be difficult to contest for anyone.
>>97307557Copyright strike? That won't work, some loretuber will claim fair use and win because technically lore videos are fair use.The better solution is to simply hire the loretubers as writers, have them sign an NDA that prevents them from discussing any aspect of 40k lore publicly for like, 10 years, then immediately fire them before they do ANYTHING using some sort of jew clause in their hiring contract's fine print. But they gotta do it all at the same time, otherwise the first one fired will blab
>>97308380>It's how Lefties and Browns operate, they must always be annoyed about something even if that thing does not exist.>says a guy who still angry about femstodes
>>97308222>the year is 2013. GW is cease and desisting authors for using the term "Space Marine".>the year is still 2014. GW is being laughed at so hard that they quietly drop the cease and desists.>the year is still 2013. GW is copyright striking 3rd party parts makers so they can draw sales to their exclusive platform.>the year is 2014.

GW is copyright striking content of "fans" talking about their products, so they can draw eyes to their exclusive platform.>the year is 2027. GW is being laughed out of court again for trying to strike things that are covered by fair use.
>>97308215The literal next sentence makes it clear what's going on.>Few even realise their protocols have been completely overwritten until it’s too late and they’re strapping hyperphase blades onto their arms with cold glee.The new character basically hacks other Necrons' protocols and makes them into Destroyers.It's not a retcon; it's just an addition to how Destroyers can be made.
>>97308408>That won't work, some loretuber will claim fair use and win because technically lore videos are fair use.Anon Youtube always sides with the claimant and has been like that for years what are you on.
>>97308407Fan animations died despite being technically legal too.
>>97308422>Never mentioned Femstodes>Brown Lefties trying not to seem angry about something but really is and is failing to play it coolPoint proven, thank you.Also, rentfree.
>>97308422I think it's a parody post. He's doing the things that he's complaining about.
>>97308408I can see GW trying the latter method. They already did that with the animators and any youtubers who signed that one NDA contract which lets them get free shit from GW. Also the same NDA also contained a non-compete clause and a clause where it stated that the people weren't allowed to mention they were under contract with GW.
>>97308394Female marines are lame and gay. Anyway, you do understand that every single one of you loretuber-adjacent bastards deserves to die, right? You do understand that the world would be a better place if retards stopped treating 40k like some sort of sacred cow, right? If Black Library was shut down tomorrow, the hobby would improve immensely. We could just focus on the "eternity of war" part of the fluff (the only part that matters) and then just play the fucking game like normal functioning adults instead of going all Trekkie over something that's basically just an 80's children's cartoon toy ad.
>>97308202>The Ynnari plotline is really interesting because Eldar haven't been relevant for anything other then jobbing or sabotaging themselves.Literally?
>>97308437>>Brown Lefties trying not to seem angry about something but really is and is failing to play it coolI am leftis and I don't give a shit about eldar.
>>97308454Reviving Roboute Gulliman is the greatest achievement of the Eldar species in 10,000 years.
>>97308459>Admitting to being leftist Grim
>>97308428Fan animations died because GW basically said "fuck off, we don't want you."Which predictable drove away 90% of the said animators because why bother supporting a company like that.
>>97308464I wish GW would actually do something super grim like have the Imperium turn against the Eldar fully and enslave their women as sex slaves for Marines.
>>97308110In general the headgear in 40k tends to be relatively unimpressive compared to fantasy.
>>97308423>the year is 2027. Several loretubers die in one night from mysterious bullet holes appearing in their heads while they sleep. GW burns records of hiring private parties to do their dirty work.
>>97308488You just want to jerk off.
>>97308479Wait, that's perfect, they just need to say "fuck off, we don't want you" to loretubers in general. Most of them will get their feelings hurt and never come back, a few stubborn ones will stay (see Arch, since they already told him that), but that can be a manageable number of people you can just hire hitmen to get rid of
>>97308454He's not wrong. Eldar have never been involved in significant campaigns outside of exceedingly minor roles. The only time before the Ynnari that Eldar were important was Eldrad sacrificing himself to stop the Blackstone Fortress in the original 13th Black Crusade, which was entirely retconned with the new version of events.Literally the only major contribution Eldar have made to the modern age of 40k is reviving Guilliman, and even then that probably was done by the Emperor instead of Ynnead.
>>97308449>ablooblooI don't care.I'll listen to loretubers because their stuff is better made than GW's. And I'm not wasting money on the dogshit that is WH+ either, James.

>>97308679I think it's the worst part. Unless it's a conversion/kitbash I'd rather someone else to it for me.
>>97308701I can see that, some people find the painting part soothing and fun but it's a little stressful not getting things right

>>97308721Oh yea, I remember when I first started with my Necrons and was trying to learn glowing blades, very frustrating.
>>97308347>The guy who made astartes made it all for free in his spare time,To be fair Astartes and Pariah Nexus/Tithes are the best you can juice out of 40k. Any larger projects would look goofy since creator would need to stick with tabletop designs.
>>97308726He's not wrong. Most of us just have enough sunk cost we are willing to overlook it.
I think Titus is hot, but SM2 is a terrible fucking game, all the enemies are bullet (bolt?) sponges. I honestly feel like the game would be more fun if the enemies died a lot quicker but so did the player, also get rid of that gay parry bullshit
>>97308679It is!
>>97308726He probably plays Eldar so no big loss.
>>97308733>Any larger projects would look goofy since creator would need to stick with tabletop designs.You just made me realize that the live action 40k adaptation is probably gonna look like shit because GW is gonna insist everything stick as closely as possible to tabletop designs and it's gonna end up looking like the Warcraft movie that used the goofy game designs in live action
>>97308726What weird ass indie game?
I hope that the (rumored) updated Defiler is the first instance of a remake being smaller than the old model.Shit's too big to use most of the time!
>>97308763lolLoooooooooooooL
>>97308739yeah the game sucks dick but it released at just the right time to trick people into thinking it didn't
>>97308331>/v/ermin seething over the O&Tchad out of nowhere actually, factually, unironically rent free
>>97308758Trench War, turnip, and some weird ass chit game about cold war fantasy that doesn't even have models or something. I don't want to ask him because he'll start ranting and raving about it
>>97308767Have they released anything that big and unwieldy in any game in recent memory?
>>97308745He plays marines, I play tyranids. I just want to fight him with my cool space bugs.
>>97308739The parry is just ass, enemies teleport to my character and others the function does not work. Even tried switching to a controller just in case it was a port issue.
>>97308752To be honest Warcraft movie had rather budget problem and creativity problem. Orcs were amazing, but forcing average humans wear cosplay armor of Alliance footmen was a mistake since Metzen made humans with unrealistic proportions as well and their armor was design around this heroic/capeshit-scale.I mean we've seen how lame big battle looked in Exodite and how much smoke and dark filter animators had to use to cover how porrly walking Titans would look.
>>97308798Genuine, unironic, skill issue
>>97308588At this point it'd be funny if they killed Yvraine off in a WarCom article with no actual attempt to have someone take her place. Just unceremoniously have some Nids eat her or some Orks smash her to paste, with no further comments on it.
>>97308802>capeshit-scale.This is meaningless fluff you're throwing in to try to sound more knowledgeable
>>97308679I'd like it more if I did less of it. Or rather, if I did less of the same thing. Building an HQ or centerpiece is generally fun enough for me.I'll also say dabbling with kill team boxes is less bad, there's enough character and bits for each model to break up the monotony.

>>97308812I was referencing to Liefield's infamous skills.
>>97308804I thought it was that, but it does not explain why the enemies teleport to my character when parrying. To the point I just avoid doing it and just dodge
>>97308822Very funny
Numbers decide my collage project>0-1Ork bikes>2-3EC bikes>4-52nd edition juggerlord>6-7Land speeder(it's kinda sorta a mount if you squint hard enough)>8-9Sm bike squad + attack bike>dubsprimaris character on bikeWhat are you gonna paint for the bike/mount collage?
>>97308802They genuinely need to redesign shit for that style of animation/live action if they want it the designs to work. I mean, ffs, Astartes only works because the creator actually redesigned the marine designs to look better in the "ultra realism" style of animation it has while retaining the core of the original design.
>>97308847Hell yeah land speeder
>>97308853They also slightly redesigned the proportions of the primaris marines in the secret level animation that has a similar artstyle. But honestly marines are the ones who probably need the least touch-ups when it comes to design outside of proportions since despite the huge armor they're designed to be very posable and can work in a realistic looking setting, as proven by both Astartes and Secret Level. You just HAVE to make them CGI. A lot of other designs do look goofy in motion, though. Just look at any 40k game and you'll see what I mean.
>>97308847Does Sisters even have any mounted units other than Junith
>>97308897You could make one
>>97308846You're the only subhuman here who repeatedly shows off your usage of AIslop (primarch AIslop spam, trying to make your own collage and being too lazy to even grab clipart so you decided ai backgrounds were a good idea) and you have an autistic grudge with a guy who doesn't think about you at allDon't try to lie your way out of this

>>97308903Yes I see you have studied me closely to set up this little ruse, please fuck off.
>>97308853>They genuinely need to redesign shit for that style of animation/live action if they want it the designs to work. I really doubt that person (persons) in GW who oversees animated content and it's production will ever get this idea.Besides they would need not only redesign existing stuff, but invent new designs, because while Astartes earned it's praises all of it's environment felt really bland and generic.

>>97308932He's trying to false flag me with "insulting" videos of other peoples models.
>>97308937It's not a falseflag considering you instantly showed up to defend yourself like you always do when you try this lie
Total War 40k will introduce yet more secondaries into the hobby space. It must not be released.
>>97308847ill photoshop a krieger on top of a bicycle
>>97308903and you have an autistic need to reply to every single fucking post you don't like even though more often than not it derails the thread further. Just like it happened right now with that aislop shitpost even though it got pretty much ignored initially. inb4>nuh-uh it's not always me!okay then it's a couple different spergs using the exact same catchphrases every time, fuck you anyway. Go ahead and strawman some bullshit like you always do, I'm not giving you another (You) anyway
>>97308911>Yes I see you have studied me closelySo you admit he is right?
>>97308937Your constant autistic need to defend yourself from any percieved slight is the problem. You're the only faggot on this board who acts like this.If you simply hadn't replied it would be the other anon would look paranoid.
>>97308951DEATH TO SECONDARIES
>>97308847I'm going to paint another one of these, I even have it primed already :)
>>97308962I have made like 4 comments in this entire thread and maybe 3 or so comments for the last 4 days. I am improving but I feel I can still call out blatant lies like this and still lurk enough.
>>97308853I really don't want 40k to lose it's weirdass style for the sake of making it look "practical" for live action. The marines armor looking ridiculous is why it's so easy to remember and it grabs a lot of attention.
>>97308887>. A lot of other designs do look goofy in motion, though. I mean can you imagine taking seriously huge battle scene with animated Rogal Dorn, or centurions, mario carts and stormtalons.
What's a good alternative to mordant earth
>>97308783>trench warTrench Crusade is about the same as 40k in terms of rules quality and anyone who says otherwise is coping.>turnipTurnip28 is a meme game for people who like kitbashing, not some seriously great wargame. Also it stopped being "le cool and indie" once it went mainstream (by indie standards)>weird chit gameChit games are kino anon, I can't really say anything against that
>>97308955You're even worse than him I hope you know
>>97308985>3 or soLying again i see. I don't understand why I keep hoping you'll change.Listen to the other anons and LURK don't post at all.
Am I considered a secondary if I don't like playing tabletop
>>97308988>weirdass styleIt's not a style, it's amateurism with piece of vulgarity
>>97309011If you build and paint models you're not a secondary
>>97308985If you don't reply he'll just look like a paranoid schizo, you really need to learn to ignore him.
>>97307286Terrain also implies you have space for a table and play games at home, which a lot of people do not do
>>97308985You are hopeless
>>97308992>Primarchs are described to be able to move so fast that normal people get blindsided by them>they are all 9-10 ft tall and their armor is as heavy as a tank I don't think you could animated any Primarch fight and not have it look weird
>>97309017Ok I will try.
40k has been mainstream since 2004. It hasn't been some weird niche unknown thing for over 20 years, anons. The normies have been here for a while. In fact, 40k is the most normie wargame on the market. Accept it. You're a normie, anon.
>>97308331>fecalslopper so desperate for attention that he's randomly lashing out at his bettersLmaooo not like this
>>97309037You're thinking of normal marines, they move so fast you would have trouble tracking themThey show this one (1) time in pariah nexus when the salamander detects the necron ambush and blips into cover faster than you can really register
pathetic bait
>>97309053He's done it several times with the orange and tealfag recently, it's really pathetic
>>97308525Lmfao ew no, never
>>97308611Certain metal lines. A lot of Eldar I’ve painted come almost completely pre assembled and just need me to attach arms or a head or something. They’d be old minis though.
>>97308726Your friend sounds basedAlot of 40k players are already just heavily investedIf youre totally new to wargaming there are a bunch of very valid reasons to play other games that arent warhammer
>>97308679I think building is ass but painting rules
>>97308981>obvious shoopI can trust nothing you post.
>>97308783>>97309005>trench crusadeAgreedIt has all the same issues games workshop does as far as shitty business practices go and the rules arent particularly high quality or unique either
>>97308726Make friends who make an adult wage
>>97308679I hate building myself, but I understand it’s actually the most important part when you need to customize the miniature to your own liking.
>>97309058Aren't Primarchs describes as being so fast normal marines get blitzed by them all the time in books? Then you have weird shit like Konrad and Corvus being able to sneak up on people.
>>97309089Based retard
>>97309098nta but just read the fight between Sanguinius and Horus. Dudes were moving like lightning and and smashing through everything like butter.
>>97309098Yes, but you were describing normal marines, primarchs are all 12+ feet tall and even faster than normal marines
>>97309098to be fair, corax can make himself imperceptible
>>97308796The defiler isn't as big as you think it is. Most of the large aos centrepieces are bigger. Angron is bigger, mortarion is bigger,
>>97309127They don't have bigger footprints though
>>97308985End your life. Give your models to a school or something but strip them first and maybe spray some lysol on them, although, they might be cautious taking donations from people on a watchlist
>>97309127My big wife magnus the red is the biggest.
>>97309106>He isn’t there. He’s slipped aside, a flash of gold, as fast as a sunbeam, evading you at the speed of light.>But you, you move at the speed of darkness. You catch him on the backswing, your Talon shearing locks of his hair, and snapping his head sideways. Worldbreaker does the rest. It hits him just above the hip, folds him double, and hurls him across the Court like a doll. He flies, one last time.Yeah let’s NOT read that again.
>>97309076Fucking retard, the reason everyone plays 40k/HH/AOS/OW is because literally NO ONE plays any other wargames aside from maybe marvel crisis protocol and star wars legion. Go to an LGS and say you want to play a non-GW wargame. They will laugh you out of the store.
>>97309102Are you really pretending that isn't obviously covered in 69 filters?
>>97309090>>97309005Trench War, not Trench Crusade.
>>97309143>you move at the speed of darknessI actually thought that line was fairly clever in a way, I mean look how fast darkness moves when the light is snuffed out.
>>97309152Based retard x2
>>97308763But anon they have just gave it an official base size and it's 130mm
>>97309156Fuck off /u/shaskaisDarkness isn't a thing, it's the absence of light, it can't move faster than anything else
>>97309152that anon literally made a guide how to get pictures this clean if you have a proper lighting setup
>>97309145>OW?
>>97309133They do actually. You're supposed to make an effort to pose them so they're on the base, I'm sure if you starfish them out like a ninja star that they look really big next to anything
>>97309156No, it's fucking retarded. And sounds fucking stupid, it sounds like something you'd hear a kid say when he's playing pretend at the sandbox with other friends.
>>97309152I know you're upset people saw through your attempt at lashing out at o&tanon but this just is not it lmao. Is that how you're going to spend your time "laying low"? Lashing out at every modelposter you can?
>>97309192>schizo ramblingNot pertinent to obvious filters.
>>97309192You're truly insane anon >>97309188Ok well in my opinion its a fine descriptor or Horus, he is the darkness we all fear to become and his darkness is spreading faster and faster throughout the Imperium to that point. Sanguinius being the ultimate form of light makes a perfect counter.
>>97309145>HH/AOS/OWLOLLMAO
>>97309209>decalfag loves shitty primarch slop that's written like it's made by a 12 year oldShould've guessed.
>>97309182overworld / old watch / old world / overwatch
>>97309209>It's not me I'm just here as soon as I get called out even indirectlyLmao
Speed of darkness is one thing, but what about the speed of nightmare?
>>97309225>shitty primarch sloplike it or not, but that's core of 40k
>>97309209Once again if you didn't reply then that post would have disappeared, but now everyone is going to think you're defending yourself because you've been caught again
>>97309155I just assumed TC cuz its being talked about rnNever heard of trench war
>>97308597>Decent game discussion video>Brown shithole lore>Brown shithole lore>Brown shithole loreThere are odd men abroad in this world.
What is it?
>>97309225Do people not like the fight between Sanguinius and Horus? I thought people loved it, I know I did.
>>97309145If you have a group of friends to play with that just doesnt matterI dont even play 40k with randomsI only play with my brosSo we can just play whatever we want lolIdk why this makes you so mad
>>97309244In your dreams
>>97309265I'm not mad lol. :)sounds to me like you're the one who is mad my friend.
>>97309260My colon
>>97309264Yeah a huge part of the 40k lore that makes it fun and interesting is all the biblical demigod bullshitBut alot of people prefer for that stuff to stay in the past lore and not invade too much into the current settingBut GW wants primarchs so everyone who dislikes them kinda just has to eat shit and deal with it it seems
>>97307937The Ctan one is very cool and will terrorize lower tables solely because it's 2 ctan, not because it's particularly strong. Probably 50/50 mid tables because it's a coin flip depending on event size. Then be 30% top tables due to dice. So overall 60% and necron get massive nerfs because most players are terrible(affectionate).The Destroyer one is awesome and good. It might be 55% good in the right hands. Simple, effective, but requires a little planning. I'm going to try this one first.
Could have given the Deceiver a new model before going there
>>97309273Glad to hear it, you started popping off at the mouth a bit so you seemed madBut yeah the popularity of a game doesnt matter as long as the bros are down
>>97309278>But alot of people prefer for that stuff to stay in the past lore and not invade too much into the current setting>alot
The whole concept of generals is Reddit.
>>97309278I hope Sanguinius returns
>>97309273Nta but in your post >>97309145you're typing in caps and cursing whereas the other anon >>97309265 isnt
>>97309287I'm gonna be havin so much fun with my Cronies
>>97309295What do you mean? I'm just here to farm karma I mean (You)s.
>>97309297Some people would argue deus ex machina style revival just cheapens the whole idea of death and sacrificeBut I also understand wanting your favorite primarch back and actively doing cool shit
>>97309295Everyone is just a technically a comment on a blogpost, regardless of website.
>>97309313I want to see the Emperor return and revive him so they can go on a father son adventure together to find Russ in the Warp and fight demons.
>>97309070>orange and tealfagThis would appear to be a piece of /tg/ lore I am unfamiliar with? Is it the same O&T dude in the AoSg thread?
>>97309295I wouldn't know I've never been
>>97309127>The defiler isn't as big as you think it is.Is he not as big as the Soul Grinder? SGs are pretty large tbhon
>>97309339O&tanon has never posted his marines in aosg, so no. He's working on stuff for aos, but nothing he owns for aos is o&t and therefore would not be the "o&tanon from aosg". I'm a regular in aosg and have no clue who you might be talking about in terms of the "aosg o&tanon"
>>97309143FUCK is it REALLY written like that?!
>>97309295Unfortunately at this point this website would not be able to function without them unless you made like a billion different boards and have an actually active moderation(this will never happen).
>>97309044It only became mainstream during covid ironically>>97307216Its like 40k but it plays faster and is extremely boring because all of the reasons why people play 40k got gutted in favor of shrimple "balanced" rules. People complain about tourney faggotry but that entire game is basically if you designed 40k solely around tournament play that can be done in under an hour.>>97308404The game has 2 fucking stats but just having accuracy and armor is not good enough for a game but oh no more stats would be too complex so instead of just having a health stat and 2 different stats for melee and shooting accuracy instead every fucking unit is bloated with a "tough" ability as a replacement for just having a health stat and "bad shot" or "good shot" abilities to give them different accuracy when shooting/melee. The whole game is filled with shit like that.
>>97309352So are the greater daemons, or any of the God miniatures from aos
>>97309367It's been mainstream since dawn of war, tourist
>>97309357Chatgpt post
The problem is that the writer of OPR listened to the Discord circlejerk that wanted the game to be "balanced" like 40k. The people who had their feelings hurts by fluffy army rules like Demon/Robot. OPR is actively committing suicide and I say that as someone who has been playing it since it started as One Page 40k on /tg/.Yes, I am mad about this.
The Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game will annihilate 40k.
>>97309400Blizzard hasn't been relevant in 12 years
>>97309396This is meant for >>97309367.
>>97309367Lmao. If you started because of dawn of war1 then you started after it became mainstream. Sorry. It is what it is.
>>97309400marines, nids, and eldar all look much better than these. Id rather use james' models and try the rules
>>97309295They'll never do this because it would kill the number of active posters even further but I honestly believe at this point the only way to make this site more tolerable would be introducing mandatory e-mail verification. Shitposters would eventually get tired of creating throwaway e-mails.
>>97309400Shit the gold on those Zealots looks gooood how'd they do it?
>>97309420Protoss are much better than eldar
>>97309386>touristIs there a bigger self report? Nobody knew shit about 40k outside of sci fi circles it literally wasn't mainstream until everyone was stuck online and 40k youtube videos started trending and especially after space marine 2 came out. I can ask my grandma about star wars and she would know what I'm talking about but not for 40k.>>97309400Blizzard will find some way to fuck it up
>>97309426That is probably the most retarded thing I have read on 4chan in years. Congratulations, Anon. You are a moron.
>>97309432>N-no uLmao go back
>>97309400Cool, new Votan sculpts!
>>97309400What's starcraft?
>>97309433How so? Literally the main issue nowadays is that you can't effectively ban anyone because people use multiple devices.
>>97309436Sorry im not retarded and delusional like you to think that 40k has ever been "mainstream" honestly I would argue its not even mainstream today.>>97309456Sci-Fi RTS basically think rednecks vs tyranids vs eldar
>>97309456boomer rts that has been irrelevant for years but people love pretending otherwise for some reason
>>97309473Wouldn't it be more accurate to call it a Millennial RTS?
>>97309465Uh oh tourist melty
>>97309400I really like that they made practical effects the same as gunpla and also completely optional.
>>97309479yeah that's fair, let's go with millenial rts
>>97309481I accept your concession
>>97309400Wasn't Trench Crusade also going to put GW out of buisness?
>>97309433
>>97309473isn't it still relevant in korealand?
>>97309400No it wont but it does look dope!Im always down for more wargames to enter the frayThe more the merrierMaybe someday there will be strong enough competition to force GW to be less retarded
>>97309547I cannot even fathom playing multiple War games, I already have so much shit in storage from Warhammer with 4 armies.
>>97309426Nah that would be wack
>>97309339So many cool anons came and went. Some crashed out, rip FF. What happened to the other anons? Like the (two?) protoss necron anons?
>>97309473Cuz its fun and cool anonI used to love starcraft
>>97309560I love playing nexus wars and other fun mini games too on it too.
>>97309559I've only been in this general for like 3 years but I honestly think we have pretty cool regulars right now. I feel like I haven't seen the anon that does those artsy Night Lords in a while though, that makes me a bit sad.
>>97309459>>97309512Anonymous/"Anonymous" imageboard is the sole reason to use this place. Turning it into Reddit-lite with e-mail verification would kill it for good.
>>97309400>3 factionsLet me know when they get another twenty added
anyone got some good priming tips when it comes to spraying small guardsmen so they don't look like gloop?
>>97309587Just use IDs I say
>>97309559I feel we have good regulars here with like one exception.
>>97309554I mean even if you only play 40k, the genre of “wargames” expanding is still a good thingCompetition forces devs to actually work and put in effort to try to outdo eachother and stay relevant
>>97309596that's true
>>97309567Yea the arcade shit was fun
>>97309465What makes something count as mainstream to you? I think 40k is mainstream now given how it has risen in popularity thanks to vidya loretubers and Star Wars sequel trilogy making nerds look for a new ip to latch onto.I’m somewhat bothered by that mainstream nature but I feel like that’s just the lingering teenage hipster I once was I am yet to free myself of.
>>97309593That is just as bad. Look at /pol/. IDs do nothing and are easily changed/spoofed.
>>97309587I understand that but as long as it was only a one-time verification while remaining anonymous when posting I feel it would filter at least some of the garbage.
>>97309559FF guy was a fucking retard
>>97309603If your parents don't know what it is, it's not mainstream.
>>97309605Fun fact, we are not even truly anonymous on 4chan now. Adding e-mail verification would only make it far, far worse for everyone.
>>97309605Nah man I still wouldnt wanna do itPlus there are services to create an e-mail that only lasts like 10 minutesIf shitposters are dedicated enough to sit around flinging shit for 12 hours a day for months theyre definitely dedicated enough to spoof emails
>>97309619Well leaving it as it is right now is slowly killing it anyway so they should try to do something, anything. How does 2ch function nowadays? Is it still exactly the same as it was 15 years ago?
>>97309612My father knows what 40k is because I was a sperg about it when I was just a wiki reader and early loretuber watcher.So does my sister know about 40k because of my sperging.My mom doesn’t know about it because she is dead.Tell your mothers you love them anons.
>>97309580Ive been on and off the board a decade or so and haven't been on really in a few months but I recall off the top of my head:>Frozen Flames Anon>Blue Camo Scion Anon>Salamander Freehand Anon>Gold and Blue Necron Anon>Charnel Consuls Anon>Night Lord Anon>Several IF anons>Berserker AnonI'm sure there's more.
>>97309633What's killing it? It seems to be getting more popular here I think.
>marines getting a drop pod detachment tomorrow That one guy who's been begging for it for the last year here is about to be a very happy man.
>>97309633Only nips can post on it but yes.
>>973096334chan is perfectly healthy anon and generates tens of thousands of dollars every month from ads
>>97309357You type like a faggot.
>>97308428>Fan animations diedBut they didn't
>>97309642And 30k doesn't? That's so stupid lmao.
>>97309591They've confirmed Tal'darim, UED and Amon/The Hybrids as factions also.
>>97309677Look, this is 40k grand campaign. No one cares about 30k.
>>97309671Quiet down decalnigger
>>97309688nta, I think the game looks pretty cool but 40k has fully satisfied my War gaming needs.
>>97309702>no one cares about 30kI want all the 30k models usable in 40k.Does that count as caring?
>>97309400Gonna get in the trenches and go on a crusade against 40k, huh? Let us know how that turns out.
>>97309044I mean it has always been mainstream for a miniature wargame*, it just got mainstream mainstream in the past five years due to COVID. Mainly in the sense that the hobby got substantially bigger and now most normies are aware of its existence and a lot might be into it from a "lore" perspective or played a video game or two. But otherwise, it's this:No one who collects and plays 40k is a normie, but those who primarily collect and play 40k are normies by wargaming standards. It's the miniature wargaming (wargaming in general, really) equivalent of a vidya gamer who only plays Call of Duty, Madden, Fifa and Skyrim.
>>97309717Iron sharpens iron anon
>>97309726Problem is Blizzard hasn’t actually been relevant as a company since Overwatch 1, so I kind of doubt they’ll accomplish much.
>>97309688What the fuck are any of these? You do realize that anyone who plays a Blizzard game is subhuman, right? That's why South Korea is going to get nuked.
>>97309717Nta but only 40k can kill 40k.We’re in the wargaming phase of “40k killers” at the moment.But remember that a lot of “halo killers” were a thing and didn’t kill the halo franchise.So in a way only gw can kill warhammer.Unless something like an Arab oil baron buys GW and runs it into the ground.Or a Chinese mega corporation buys Gw and runs it into the ground.
>>97309735>Since overwatch 1They haven't been relevant since 2012
>>97309723>by wargaming standardsThat niche is so small that it's irrelevant, 40k players are the standard.
Does anyone happen to know how much knifework is needed for this headswap or if it just fits pretty much out of the box?
>>97309735Theyve made some bangers over the years and continue to pull in close to 10Bil/year so idk they might put out some good shit
>>97309740>Doesn't play games>Thus has no clue about who factions/characters are >Factions/characters are mentioned>Gets annoyed about not now knowing or factions/characters are because has not played the gamesImpressive levels of sperging out here.
>>97309742The only time 40k dipped in popularity was when GW was actively making decisions that hurt itself during 5e-7e, which also happens to be the duration of the 2008 recession. It actually briefly slipped to the #2 spot of most played wargames with #1 being xwing for a few years, then went right back to being #1 when 8th ed launched
>>97309755The only “banger” they’re really made was Diablo Immortal, which did actually capture the Chinese market so they’ll continue to exist for a very long time. It’s just that they haven’t made anything GOOD, everything else is spiraling down at differing speeds.
>>97309742Agreed yeahThe only thing that can make 40k become #2 is GWHaving said that though I think having more wargame options on the market is still niceAnd GW has been on blast for being retards so seeing other wargames garnering some hype might wake them up a bit
>>97309759>with #1 being xwing for a few yearsdon't fucking remind me, we were so close to greatness.They had to go and ruin it by pushing... Power Level instead of points.I still think there was some connection with 40k doing it around the same time.
>>97309759You’re right anon.I’m not disagreeing.I still think 40k needs competition to be even more incentivized to keep bettering itself.I remember when privateer press’s warmahordes was a pretty big alternative to 40k as a wargame.Then privateer press did some stupid decisions that should be a case study on what not to do in this wargaming industry.
>>97309771I mean idk man theyve had diablo, wow, overwatch, starcraft, warcraft, hearthstoneTheyve put out some good shit over the years and they continue to generate alot of revenue so I mean shit they seem to be doing okay
>>97309771They didn't even make any increased revenue from the explosion in popularity with diablo immortal because wow is losing so much money it completely negated everything they earned the release yearABK was kept aloft entirely by the K, king, because of candy crush, until Microsoft bought them
>>97309790Diablo and StarCraft are dead, warcraft is only popular in China, hearthstone is dead, overwatch died in a month 10 years ago
>>97309790Anon, much of that is confined to pre-Overwatch 1. Please reread my original post. D4 and OW2 have been hot garbage. DI is also technically trash but it’s the kind of trash the chinks went for so it worked out for them.
>>97309759>X-wing being more popular than 40k at one point in wargamingHow is this data gathered? I really want to know.
>>97309754>warm greens on the base>it's borderline black
>>97309795Wym wow is still very profitable for blizzard? Especially with wow classic and the hardcore servers and shitTBC is about to drop on the anniversary servers and get a big revival boost in popularity
>>97309807It's not, he made it up
>>97309802So what if theyre dead? Very few things remain popular foreverTheyve dropped hugely successful very beloved games many times
>>97309748>That niche is so small that it's irrelevantMore accurately, the niche is so small that all you will ever find in some communities is 40k players. But someone saying "I'm into wargames" and then you ask them what they play and they say "40k" maybe mixed with age of sigmar or something, yeah that person's a wargaming normie. They're not a wargamer. They're a Warhammer player. There is a distinction
>>97309813>Wym wow is still very profitable for blizzard? Especially with wow classic and the hardcore servers and shitNope! Their last public earnings report before being absorbed by ms showed them losing so much money on wow that it negated all profits from diablo immortal, this is publicly available knowledge you can go look up right now
>>97309806I dont play diablo or shooting games so I wouldnt knowI remember hearing about the OW2 controversy though when that dropped
>>97309815Quiet down /v/ermin
>>97309828I mean, I'm pretty sure there aren't guys who only play GW products running around going "I'm a wargamer," anon. That's like some guy calling himself a "hardcore gamer" and then you ask what games they play and they say "I play call of duty, sportsball and Skyrim: Buttfuck XL anniversary edition," like you said earlier. Pretty sure guys who play that aren't calling themselves gamers in the vidya scene, it's the same with 40k in the wargaming scene, or D&D in the ttrpg scene. They're basically containment areas, normie traps, whatever you wanna call them
>>97309831Post it then, I just looked it up and it said nothing of the sortIt said blizzard is still turning billions in net profit and that there are no reports of wow losing them money
>>97309807Idk but you can look up the charts from like 2015, I remember seeing that back then and it being used by people on this board to go "GW IS DEAD"
>>97309831How would wow be losing them money?There are like 7 million active subscribers to wow, each paying between like 12-16$ a month? Running the servers dont cost that much lmfao
>>97309831>Nope! Their last public earnings report before being absorbed by msthat was like 4 or 5 years ago, and the company has done a big turnaround since then. they posted their highest subscriber count to wow since the games peak of 11m during wrath, at 9m subs recently, and they've also quadrupled down on new free in game offerings to draw in players like free monthly cosmetics and player housingyou're running off of old information they're also set to break into the wargaming market with starcraft in like a month or two and it looks really good. im not saying its going to dethrone 40k or anything, but if they dont totally botch the price point or production, i could see it being a stable shelf product for a while. the only problem is that you cant really add new armies to the game since the IP is centered around the existing 3, and 3s a pretty small number for army choices for a wargame
>Blizzard shillingGood lord
>>97309870They could do brood war era models tooBut yeah i know what you meanThere are other in-lore factions tooThey apparently already announced a few another anon mentioned earlier
>>97309871there really are no depths this general won't sink to
>>97309871>BlizzardIkr
>>97309871Theyre dropping a wargame so it seems relevant enoughWould you rather shitfling about decalfag for another 4 hours instead like usual?
>>97309754I believe they're both ball necks into the socket torso, so I don't imagine it would take much to get it to fit. Look at the sprues on the GW website.
>>97309869Subscribers have stalled so growth investors and corporate raiders are turning into a carcass and picking it clean
>>97309881I'll shit on your both as an enlightened centrist instead.
>>97309884Idk TBC boutta drop so itll get popular again for a bit
>>97309875I mean, it's /40kg/. It's populated entirely by schizos, trannies, and worse (normies).
>>97309854You didn't read it blizzdroneI'll post it after workThere's a reason why WoW 2 was cancelled and warcraft rumble was stillborn
>>97309890Regrettably.
please don't tell me there are people in this thread that still play western AAA slop
>>97309895Im not gonna be here after work anon Ill just take your word for it
>blizzard being talked aboutWasn’t there a business relationship between gw and blizzard at one time long ago? I thought it was between warhammer fantasy and the first Warcraft.But I wouldn’t mind being wrong about that and it instead was StarCraft and warhammer 40k.Either way I prefer the StarCraft Terran marine suit up animation over the ultramarine primaris marine suit up animation video put out by gw.I still found the StarCraft marine suit up animation too busy in detailing but I still liked it over the 40k suit up animation as the 40k one is too simplistic.
>>97309881That would be preferable than watching you spout off fanfiction about how successful a video game company kept afloat by candy crush would be yes
>>97309897This thread is literally dedicated to western AAA slop lmfao
>>97309904It may be preferable to somebody who’s extremely gay (you) but not to someone who’s based (me)
>>97309907>>>/v/
>>97309881Yes. Much as I dislike decalfag and his boyfriend, at least they’re two potentially distinct idiots that have the illusion of existing. Marketers aren’t people, a quality they share with journalists.
>>97309911No /v/ermin jeet will ever be based
>>97309874i dont doubt that both brood war and SC2 era units are on the table, and you do have some splinter factions here and there like the tal'darim of alarak or nerazim dark templar, you have the various zerg strains, and of course the different human planetary and rebellion armies, but as far as the game was ever concerned they all more or less used the same unit rosters as their parent army, so i think they would struggle to actually pull a whole army out of it, and you might get something closer to the star wars tabletop game where you have a small selection of armies, but a large selection of special named characters who change the way the army plays. that would be one way they could do it.but i think im still looking forward to it because in addition to its own merits, its gonna offer some probably pretty good conversion fodder for like tyranids, imperial guard, maybe votann. some of the protoss vehicles could make for cool eldar conversions.
A Starcraft game? Can't wait!
>>97309919all of that with the big caveat that the models are acutally good model kits, and not made out of that shitty cheapo terrible rubber-plastic that so many board games use for their miniatures. i remember i bought into the HATE kickstarter and the minis were made out of that shit and it was an absolute nightmare to work with. warped to hell and even heat bending the parts back wouldnt stay straightened and just reverted to the warped shape, mould lines that just turned to eraser shavings and crumbles when you try to scrape them, leaving horrible texture on the model, gummy material that doesnt cut for shit with a knife. just awful. and the promo shots being colored plastic is not a great sign
>>97309807The website ICV2 used to do surveys across a lot of LGS and publish the results. It obviously has a lot of problems in accuracy, like the fact that it doesn't count miniatures sold though the GW website, but in the past was used as an indicator of relative popularity.
>>97309890As a shizco I can tell you I definitely do not like the other groups you mentioned.
>prefer the previous cadians because of their simplicity>still think the new cadians look better because of sculpt detail qualityThe old good new bad is coming over me anons I think.
>>97308288GW isnt a "tech" company. You arent wrong about LLM's but 97% of the stock market doesnt get to act like that, its all irrational. But GW would be crucified by its investors for wasting money on a side project for 5 years.
>>97309964>But GW would be crucified by its investors for wasting money on a side project for 5 years.Not really, it's not hard to spin Warhammer+ as advertising that partially pays itself.
>>97309963Old and new both have their advantages. I actually enjoy metal miniatures because they take much less time to assemble, personally.
>>97309964They are an art company. Nobody cares about what the fuck they do mate, tangible goods, food, oil, weapons. Yeah they might pop off they might nought, fuck cares.
>anon says 40k is a normie franchise>type out a long reply frothing in rage>delete it halfway through as I slowly realize he's rightoh my god. i'm a normie.
>>97309963KNEEPADS
>>97309987I agree. While it’s probably a fact that WH+ doesn’t exactly make money by itself and might even be individually running at a loss, it’s probably being continued as a tool to lead normies in for where they’d make actual profit.
>>97309991That’s fine to me. I like the cadian metal medic over the toilet paper roll holder.But the current cadian medic is also nice too. The toilet paper roll bearer is the worst previous generation cadian model in my opinion that I hold as truth due to personal bias.>>97309995I think the kneelads are fine from an aesthetic point.Not from a painting point as I am a bad painter and just want to knockout models quickly.
>>97309994grats, now get a job and a wife and vote full ballot D next election
>>97309992Art? They make plastic model sprues
>>9730940010/10 will be playing.
>>97309987>>97309999Was wh+ a success at all or just barely breaks even? I remember seeing some anons saying it might be more expensive to pull the plug on it than to just keep the thing on life support if that is the case for wh+‘S current state. Is this true?
>>97310011anon...I hate to tell you this...but most 40k players are vaxxed and vote D down the line...i'm so sorry to be the one to tell you anon...
>>97310012They also make paint, dude.
>>97307291I paint terrain, but I did almost all of mine as a huge project LAST December. I didn't want to go against the spirit of the collage or I would have entered one just for kicks. This artillery gun is probably my favorite I've done.>>97309018Also this. >>97308847Are ironstriders too much of a vehicle for the mounted/bike collage? It's definitely a guy riding a mecha chicken, but I understand if it's not correct for the challenge.
>>97309400I hope so. GW needs a severe humbling.
New Destroyer detachment looks neat.
>>97310037half of 40k players are fucking trannies in 2026 anyway why does this matter
>>97309941okay, i think i may be able to take some of that backhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO3wSAnqIOElooks like they are using roughly the same quality and style sprue plastic assembly as GW minis. im somewhat more optimistic now
>>97310053Paint isnt art lol
>>97310074Hell yea
>>97309994The franchise is normie but paying $800 or 3D printing for small toy army men to play an autistic version of chess will forever be a faggot loser autist hobby.
>>97309874>>97309919Between Khalai, Tal'darim, Purifiers and Nerazim they have 4 Protoss factions along to work with in terms of aesthetics and units and they've already combined the first 3 as getting fully fledged factions in which you can play them together as the Daelaam or individually as their own faction with new abilities and buffs. It's no different really than having Craftworlders and Commorraghites as their own armies.
>>97306630I love blanche but this sucks. Not his best piece by country mile.>>97306637This fucks.
>>97307428I mean I probably would've done it, but didn't have any time since I was away all month (got back last night)
>>97310102In addition, they've talked about Amon's army involving Hybrids and combining Protoss, Terrans and Zerg into one army. This isn't confirmed but with Hybrids being confirmed we can assume they'll work this way.They've also already stated the UED will be a mostly Terran faction with ways to include Zerg in your force so SOUP factions are going to be a thing as well. BTW I hope we get Infested and human Stukov and Duran when the UED drop.
>>97310091>autistic version of chessHave you ever played chess anon?Chess is infinitely more autistic
>>97310091warhammer players comparing warhammer to chess still makes me fume it's so fucking retarded what the fuck is wrong with you do you have a smooth brain
>>97307417I pulled the trigger and ordered one. I looked it up on mini compare too. Thanks.
>>97309145It doesn't seem to be this bad in my experience.
>>97310091Why are you here if you don't participate in a single part of the hobby
>>97308726bro wasted money on a moneybox
>>97308179FUCK that meathead ASSHOLE
>>97307708I really like the replacing wheels with robot bug legs. Neat detail to personalize it, looks like a fun game. >>97310091holy sperg out, grab a snickers buddy
>>97310149>>97310142The only people who would be mad about this compaison are autistic chess players nobody would want to talk to anyways
>>97310154I'm talking about America, not slavic shitholes
>>97310155He prolly likes the lore and books and stuff
>780 repliesNew thread time?
Chess has no chance in it, wargames are not the same
>>97310184Eh, only page 7 and still not close to image limit. Le
>>97310166He >>97310142 wasn't mad? Just asking for clarity?
>>97310173hey retard there are massive slavic communities in america
>>97310178That's not a hobby, that's a past time
>>97310184No, tourist
>>97310202Yeah surely that's a store in Nebraska and not Krygjszzberiastan. Everyone knows American stores release their play schedules in every language including Cyrillic
>>97309400My Zeratul model was pretty fucking fantastic so I'm very hyped for this!
>>97310184Post 28 images of fat blue asses and I'll allow it
>>97310202And? They live in the asshole of America, the fucking midwest, just like how slavs live in the asshole of Europe.
>>97310202Also no fucking game store in america is going to use slavretardscript instead of latin script. That's like a game store in Texas printing its calendar in Spanish. It would be retarded.
>>97310246They live in Oregon retard
>>97310261>That's like a game store in Texas printing its calendar in Spanish.This happens frequently in border towns
>>97310173>Go to an LGSWell as you can see I did and it's not true>muh murricaGoal post moving
>>97310261Yeah we all aren't retarded and can learn a new language easily. Hence why I am typing to you now. The fuck are you even on about?
>>97310274This is retarded. I hate ESLs
>>97310202Sure and that image is from The Bolter Cafe in Wroclaw, Poland. Which I don't know much about but can't imagine it represents the majority of the world
>>97310283Oh hush
>>97310274If you could point out the state that borders Poland I'll concede that you are making valid points and not just wasting everyone's time
>>97310293It's just some butthurt slav poster desperately trying to cope with the fact he lives in a shithole
I bought a desolation squad thinking I would strip down the main gun and use the missile pods to make mortars or some shit, but now I think they look kind of cool with the big honking everything launchers.
>>97309145My LGS has more Battletech days than 40k. The local Necromunda group also keeps up near enough with mainline 40k the last few months lmao.
>>97310333>Anecdotal evidence reliable? One local man says yes
>>97310333Every LGS is very different. The most fun part of getting into the hobby is visiting all your LGS and seeing what the fuck they even do. Most of mine are just MTG stores, but still it is always fun to go in and see what the lads are up to.
>>97310333Then it's only a matter of time until your LGS is targeted for owner removal by GW. Prepare for a few calls to be made by Kevin Rountree, followed by your LGS's sales tanking across the board and your LGS getting sold to a new owner who conveniently doesn't allow non-GW or non-hasbro products to be played in-store.>source: i have lived in multiple cities where this has happened
Post your own custom warband/chapter/craftworld/dynasty/etc lore hook and an accompanying model/paintjob of said homebrewI want to what sort of autism everyone has come up with
>>97310057I'm already stretching it with a land speeder I think you're good. Collageanon isn't picky anyway.
>>97310344The irony goes right over your head I assume
>>97310333I have a mate that lives in JP and their hobby stores over there are so fucking different, it's like I really don't understand even when he explains it to me.

>>97310359>dump the sales.
>>97308847inquisitor on throne of judgement kitbash.
>>97310352What the fuck? You do that? You just walk into an LGS and...talk to random people while they play games? And they don't get annoyed at you? What? You can actually do that and not come across as some kind of retarded newbie? What if you want to pretend you're not a newbie because you've been pretending to not be a newbie online for a decade and read all the rules and keep up with model releases just to keep up that facade? What the fuck?
>>97310397You can do a lot of social things like that when you're properly showered, less than 220lbs, and have half decent social skills.
>>97310409Well that rules you out pip
>>97310409>properly showeredcheck>less than 220lbscheck>have half decent social skillsoh
>>97310376I've heard the jp and korean hobby stores are fucking bizarre. I know part of it has to be the variety of hobbies that they pack in there as well as the crossover with anime and their preferred modeling hobbies definitely make for a different crowd, not to mention the differences between western and Asian social dynamics make them totally different worlds.
>>97310409>properly showeredCheck>less than 220 ibsCheck>half decent social skillsNope every time I've entered my LGS to buy paint or something (usually once a year because I pussy out of painting my shit afterwards and refuse to play any games whatsoever until I paint everything in my pile of shame), I get the shakes and get the fuck out as quickly as possible. It's terrifying.
>>97310409I don't have control over any of those things
>>97309987What you just described isnt wasting money.
>>97310397This is a truly upsetting post to read, because even if most of this is bait, some part of this feels like the reality of how autistic people think conversations work. Maybe I'm not as deep on the spectrum as I thought. I'm not even going to touch the larping as a grog, that's just too lame for me to think about especially the bit about pretending to be a grog online so you need to uphold that IRL because...(??????)
>>97310424Hard agree, and it seems like, from my 2nd hand opinion, they are so corporate and there is basically no customization. Everything about the experience feels so sanitized from what I have seen. I would love to get a first hand look, but I'm not weeb enough to spend for a trip to JP, CN, KR.
>>97310412true.>>97310421>>97310427>>97310430working on the weight myself lmao
>>97310451relax it was bait
>>97310451>some part of this feels like the reality of how autistic people think conversations workNTA but I also never stay long in a game store and have only played with family because I have this same thought process. It feels like it would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable to just barge into someone else's game like "HEY WHATCHA DOING" like that feels rude as fuck and terrifying why would anyone ever do that "to get a feel for their lgs"
>>97310467I kinda want you to barge into my life, and make it more fun and interesting. Part of me wants your fat ugly retarded ass, I think you would be goofy and silly and awkward and it would make me laugh, but I think we would both have fun.
>>97310473you sound like a bigger sperg than him honestly
>>97310473this is gay.
>>97310467Jesus christ anon. You aren't barging in to their game. They're at an lgs, doing a thing you also do. There's nothing wrong with greeting people, talking to strangers, or showing interest in what others are doing. This sounds like you projecting the way you feel when others talk to you, because I can assure you, most people at the warhammer store like talking about warhammer. Stop getting annoyed when people talk to you, and it'll stop being your first assumption of how people feel when you talk to them
>>97310467Because they are psychopaths. Do not talk to me when I'm gaming with the boys or we will give you the flouride stare with mouth agape until you flip off
>>97310467Ive walked up to peoples games beforeI usually just walk up, look at their table and say “ohhhh shit” like a stoner and they will usually laugh and be like “yeah hes kinda fucking me up right now!” or somethingMet a few cool people at our LGS that way
>>97310479>>97310480>t.people who can't look the drivethru screen in the eyes when they're ordering
>>97310490treat people with respect or you're gettin checked
>>97310480As gay as bouncing on cocks?Didnt think so anonThink before you speak
>>97310333My LGS are all shifting away from 40k. There's a few try hard players and one try hard team that dominate every single rtt within 6 hours of here. One store filtered them out with 1500 events. 40k esportificstion was such a fucking mistake.

>>97310363>Post your own custom warband/chapter/craftworld/dynasty/etc lore hookKabal of the Storied Blade.Led by a Wych-turned Archon who had to flee her Cult after becoming too popular with the crowds and becoming a threat to her superiors the Storied Blade are a Kabal influenced by the Wych Cult roots leading to a love and mastery of close combat. They're a decently powerful Kabal who have remained on the side-lines for most of their existence, actively avoiding taking part in any major conflicts but always eager to take advantage of any opportunities created by said conflicts. Recently this has changed however, Archon Arkra returned to the Kabal after being missing for several months following a failed raid upon an Exodite world with a new, mad zealotry burning in her eyes. Those who did not embrace her new faith within the Kabal swiftly vanished, and new trophies were added to the spikes adorning the walls of her fortress-spire. These days, Ynnari operating within Commorragh who find themselves cornered or pursued by Vects warriors often find themselves rescued by Kabalites clad in the red and silver of the Storied Blade who sweep in, slaughter Vect's minions and vanish just as quickly before any can thank them, or note their presence.Several Corsair ships have recently been sighted within Storied Blade territory, and Arkra has almost bankrupted her Kabal in order to acquire an army's worth of vessels and equipment. Some within the Kabal say she is planning to depart the Dark City soon, to stride out into the galaxy and serve more directly in Ynneads glorious crusade. >and an accompanying model/paintjob of said homebrewRelated
>>97310508Woah hey cool orcs man I like your paint job woah I always wanted to get into 40k but it's just like too expensive man XD
>>97310508But it requires personality and will to interact with strangers?
>>97310508Imagine seething that you're a disabled human and can't communicate with others unless you absolutely have to
>>97310506are there even any big time stars in the competitive scene? The game seems wildly unbalanced so I would assume random people are winning all the time instead of the same few schlemiels
>>97310513It's always interesting to me. How divided the Dark Eldar player base is between adoring Vect and hating him. Or maybe they just love to hate him. I guess every custom Kabal stands against him by default.
>>97310513>see pedro>instant kinoHow does he do it?
>>97310528There's that dark eldar guy who swings their win rate by a few percent every weekend he plays
>>97310522This theoretical person sounds cool
>>97310528You would think that, but there are actually some very consistent tournament winners who are just so damn good at the game that they are always in the top 10 rankings for each tournament circuit. Hell, the London Grand Tournament was just won by Liam VSL three times in a row using almost the same list each time, not even adjusting for the meta.
>>97310529I adore him as a character but that's because he's such a bleeding cunt. Makes him the perfect villain for /yourdudes/ to oppose.>>97310533He is INFURIATINGLY lucky in our games throughout the editions. One-shotting the Swarmlord, surviving combat with and murdering an Agoniser/Blast Pistol/Shadowfield equipped Archon and his Incubi Guard, losing to but tying up Lucius in melee despite Lucius having the ability to carve him apart with ease etc. I hate him lmfao
>>97310485>They're at an lgs, doing a thing you also dowhat if I don't do it but already know the rules and if I walk up and watch and they ask if I play and I say no what if they treat me like a fucking child and try and teach me what the fuck do I do do i just let them do it
>>97310541What are they giving out as prize now-a-days?
>>97310536Ridvan "Skari" Martinez? Yeah, I think he was the second ranked player in the world for a short while last year and he's one of like a dozen faction specialists who still play Dark Eldar so he accounts for a pretty significant portion of their wins on weekends he plays.
>>97310485>There's nothing wrong with greeting people, talking to strangers, or showing interest in what others are doingthis is all terrifying. what the fuck this is like a horror movie scenario
>>97310550Do whatever you want anonYou have free will
>playing slop to kill time>suddenly find the perfect scheme for my eldar dudesInspiration can be found in the unlikeliest of places.
>>97310564this won't translate on eldar models
>>97310562Nah thats crazy
>>97310494Works every time. You don't even have to be good at socializing, just say some random reactive bullshit and people will automatically assume you're there to cut up with them
>>97310568Sure it will
This is how I imagine walking into an LGS would go if you were new.>hey>hey man, you play 40k?>no man but I want to>lol okay get the fuck out and come back with some painted minis lmfao
Literally if you walk up and say you are retarded they will be nice to you and involve you. What the fuck could be easier than walking up to strangers and saying 'im a retard, this looks cool'.
>>97310596Maybe if the LGS was populated exclusively by /40kg/ but in the real world people will just be like “oh thats cool man yeah feel free to watch if you want and see if you like how the game plays. Im playing X he’s playing Y so im a shooty army and he’s more melee blah blah”
>>97310596I have seen some LGS where they behaved vaguely similarly. Not a single one fo them survived two years.
i have the champions of slaanesh box im thinking ec wont get more models, csm has larger roster + bileany opinions if i go children of torment ? paint them up with black legion decal or stay full ec
>>97310596>>97310605In my case neither (I live in one of the biggest cities in the world). I walked in and they literally said hey, we can see you like the hobby, play whatever army you want and we have a dozen tables downstares go ahead and enjoy yourself. Then I went downstairs and there were fucking titans and knights and regiments and I was awestruck. I didn't even play because I was too spazzed, but I was like holy fuck these people are just on a different level than me.
one time I was in my college LGS for an 8th edition teaching gameday offering tutorial games with the new starter set back in 2017. these guys entered and I was like "you ready??" and one went "yeah" and I went "oh okay you playing death guard or ultramarines?" and explain how each plays and the guy looked at me for a second then said "oh I thought you were talking about D&D." he then pointed at the empty d&d table over yonder. I wanted to kill myself immediately
I'm glad this shithole I live in doesn't even have an LGS so I can paint my minis in peace without ever feeling guilty for not playing with them
>>97310628What you dont have friends who play?
>>97310635fuck no lmao
>>97310628you should feel guilty for not having friends to play with
>>97310635all my friends are normies and even then I don't really see them much nowadays

We page 8Migr8>>97310736>>97310736
>>97310649Have they ever seen your models? If any have shown any interest, paint a combat patrol worth of some other army and bully them into trying a game some time.
>>97310363>The Coal Hearts are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter operating primarily within the Lucium Sector of Segmentum Obscurus, a volatile region bordering the Ghoul Stars and riven by xenos incursions, heretical uprisings, and warp instability in the wake of the Great Rift. Founded in the closing years of M35 amid the turbulence of the Age of Apostasy and Nova Terra Interregnum, the Chapter was shaped as much by ideological fracture as by external threat. From their earliest days, the Coal Hearts developed an austere, inwardly focused culture defined by discipline, endurance, and doctrinal certainty.>The Chapter is closely bound to Forge World Tejana, whose patronage and ideological influence were instrumental in the Coal Hearts’ founding and survival. This alliance fostered the development of the Lucis Technica, a syncretic faith blending the Imperial Creed with Mechanicus metaphysics. Within this doctrine, the Emperor is venerated as the Starbinder, the divine author of ordered reality. Chaos is rejected not as a rival faith but as a fundamental lie, its daemons viewed as parasitic manifestations sustained by fear, excess, and surrender rather than true divinity.>Militarily, the Coal Hearts specialize in void warfare and boarding actions, a necessity born of centuries fighting in the confined, lightless theaters of derelict fleets, space hulks, and orbital infrastructure. Their doctrine favors heavily armored assault, overwhelming close range firepower, and methodical annihilation of enemy strongpoints. Boarding squads operate in compact formations supported by auspex sweeps and swarms of bonded servo skulls, known as Stargiven Vigilants, Breaching charges, sudden assaults, disciplined flamer and melta use, and relentless faith are their hallmarks. Their wargear is often reinforced and pragmatically modified, prioritizing resilience and function over ornamentation.I’ve got like 40K words on them, this is the most summarized I can manage. 1/2
