>>97471490giant robots are cool but chaos knights is the one army that's literally a copypaste of imperial knights that just kinda isn't cool. Khytan and Lord of Skulls should be Knights datasheets. Throw in that Slaanesh Rapebot from Epic too.
>>97471506It is kind of stupid that an entire extra codex is wasted on chaos knights. Surely there's a more elegant solution to be found.
>>97471506Chaos Knights have always been goofy too me, I figured they were just too lazy to come up with equally massive units to counter the Imperial Knights lore wise but who knows.
Imperial Fist primaris intercessors
>>97471490blowing them up. Ive played against knights for three editions now, and depending on the points, the rules, and my army build, they’re actively bad pushovers that give me an easy win or a unbeatable completely unfair fight. they don’t interact well with the game.ive been taking my wraithknight to games against newer players as a handicap to my list I think they’re so bad
>>97471506Chaos Knights shouldn't be a codex — Dark Mechanicum should.
How do we retvrn to tradition?
>>97471458The 9th edition stuff they had and the 1d4chan article saying "they're the 1960s CIA but a chaos legion" sold me a lot, but they really do have nearly nothing going for them.
>>97471490>TQI love how easily they are to customize because of their size and how imposing they are on the table. Nothing quite meets the standards and grandness of the Imperium quite like Knights do.
>>97471548Even in 30K they're just the guys with the cool color scheme and sick scale armorSometimes that's all you need.
I think I would enjoy finding a gf who also plays 40k.
>>97471551
>>97471570Grow the fuck up already
>>97471570>>97471551This has to be samefagging ritual posting.
>>97471567Same I'm trying to figure out which army has the bigger chance of getting me pussy, thinking tsons
>>97471490Nothing, they fit into a poorly conceived design niche that essentially means they have to be bad for the game to be fun
>>97471600No its just my favorite detractor latching onto me because he has no models or friends and this is his life.
>>97471490I like the codex houses. They're cool.
>>97471490>TQBecause "Daemon Possessed Giant Robots With Chainswords" is a sentence I love every single bit of.
>>97471570What's wrong, anon?
>>97471490Relatively easier to paint, you don't have to paint that many, and have a lot more kitbashy opportunities.How they play in the game and their large size aside, the models have all the fun parts of vehicles and some of the fun parts of infantry.I need to see my shelf space after I finish my 30k box and Kratos but if I can I'd like to make get a Tyrant.
>>97471616>House Herpes>primarily uses flamer weapons
>>97471630Very cool model anon, love the Cherry Blossom bits and the pose. King shit.
>>97471630Which 30k box?
The dark eldar should get a giant Talos but it has legs.Actually you know what would be a cool 'knight' kitbash? get some knight bits and some Giant bits from age of the old worldmar and make a giga-sized gro
>>97471567Find yourself a gf whose father plays 40k. You will enjoy this much more.
>>97471705>Actually you know what would be a cool 'knight' kitbash? get some knight bits and some Giant bits from age of the old worldmar and make a giga-sized grohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK0x_Gc_0C8
anybody else pick up cpt titus yet ? how does he feel on tabletop and what units are you setting him to lead ?
>>97471490>TQI own a Chaos Knight army. I like the giant models. Magnetizing them was fun. Anyone who bitches about how they play in the game is a WAACfag that doesn’t see the sovl in Knights
>>97471716How many people actually play Ultramarines? Or is this just a matter of every Space Marine player plays as whatever chapter they feel like from game to game or chasing the meta?
>>97471716So much mold lines on those models it's unreal.
>>97471730You seem to have little idea of what your asking or how to ask it or even how the game works in general.
>>97471721WAAC fags are the least likely to actually have trouble playing into Knights. They're a skew army that's a notorious noob stomper. Would you ever play knights against someone in their first game ever where they were learning to play?
>>97471490Are Chaos knightesses in general blessed with magnificent melons or is that just a stereotype?
>>97471736No one cares about mold lines and no one can see them from play distance so who cares.
>>97471716>
>>97471737Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
>>97471730If you are asking if shit like Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Salamanders etc have healthy playerbases: Yes.Ultramarines are still a minority in the grand variety of infinite marine shit.
>>97471745I agree but in this case she didn't even do that so what gives?
>>97471752But people who don't paint their armies as ultramarine still buy ultramarine units though, right?
>>97471730not that many since they are the most boring vanilla choice....personally speaking im the only person i know irl that runs ultras and every other SM player ik is a divergent chapter. thankfully theres enough difference between the chapters that you cant really switch between them at a whim unless ur absurdly wealthy to keep buying all the chapter specific models (Calgar can only be run with ultramarines for example)
>playing Dota instead of painting models>getting stompedI immediately regret my decision
>>97471490I often wonder what the neighbors in /m/ and /toy/ think about the giant robot kits produced by Games Workshop for 40k, HH and AT.
>>97471681picrel. Unfortunately rocket launchers and HBolters are apparently shit on Havocs right now, So I'll just proxy them as Lascannon teams for actual play.
>>97471763no why the fuck would they? chapter specific models are locked to their faction
>>97471763I've never personally seen it. There's a decent chunk of players who run Ultramarines rules in tournaments because they have been getting a ridiculous amount of new models / rules this year but you don't buy Roboute Guilliman for your Blood Angels army.One thing that's kind of an issue is that running vanilla marines without any chapter unique rules from any source is kind of bad, but the dev team did recognize that and buff them, but that's hardly an Ultramarines unique issue. Ultramarines having some over powered releases doesn't affect the internal game army balance of all the other types of marines whatsoever because they can't use their units.
>>97471570kek
>>97471771/m/aggot hereIf you're a gunpla guy, GW bots are a pretty shit deal. With gunpla you're getting a fun thing to assemble with no glue or paint required, which you can then pose however you want and swap things out with ease.Let's not talk even about the price.I still love knights, but they don't scratch the mecha itch at all, they're their own appeal.
>>97471745>>97471758>sheNo woman stands in such an exagerrated closed way. That's a man desperately trying to be feminine.
>>97471745>female
>>97471774Have rocket launchers ever not sucked? I guess you get them for the flexibility but they never seem to have been worth it in the time I've played.
>>97471817Come on, we're feet watchin now?
>>97471745>>97471758"She" yes indeed
>>974718204th/5th ed Havocs with missiles were amazing fun. Templates FOR days.
>>97471736Aint no way homeboi talkin bout mold lines on an unopened box, aint no way
>>97471836I think he just means on the molds in general for those models McNiggra
>>97471774I wish rockets were good outside of tau. There really is no point running launcher devs and the like. And the primaris t-shirt guns have been nerfed into near unusability after their hey day.I love my melta but really feel cucked by the short range in a lot of games and I dislike lascannons.
>>97471813Any thoughts on other overlaps between /tg/ and /m/ like BattleTech and Infinity?
>>97471858Dreadnought on the left has some crusty ass nips. Get some lotion on them bois, scaletits ass bitch.
>>97471858Absolutely Kingly models anon, well done.
>>97471774Dual grav lev is nuts in game
>>97471826If the feet are smack dab in the center of the image yes.If he's a real woman he would know how to crop his pics to not include unnecessary personal details.That's a guy trying to nonchalantly show off he's a girl.
>>97471883>guy*pervert
>>97471883>>97471890Do you mind posting a model of yours? I'd like to see if your opinions are even relevant here.
>>97471883Seek medication
>>97471898Gladly.
>>97471904kek, fuck off
>>97471898Have an army>>97471900Seek medication for pointing out mental illness now?
>>97471925>>97471904Stop pretending to be people with models please.
>>97471716I’ve got a ton of shit to paint still at the moment. I’ll probably pick them up as conversion fodder some time in 2027
>>97471904Really?
>>97471933we all knew lol, weak as hell false flagging
>>97471933>>97471904Lametfag is now samefagging to cause drama, sad.
>>97471930I'm not gonna bother getting off my warm bed to timestamp for you. Have a collage instead.
>>97471947>>97471925Still love that Dreadnought. He's a sexy beast.
>>97471947Well if your really him your models are the bees knees, very nice as always.
>>97471942>>97471947This is embarrassing, take a nap.
>>97471925>redditoropinion descarted
>>97471744>No one cares about mold linesFalse. Maybe not to one's face but people notice and care.>no one can see them from play distance so who caresWait you don't actually leave mold lines on "finished" fully painted dudes on purpose out of sheer laziness do you?
>>97471967kys
>>97471967why bite?
>>97471950>>97471956Thank you. The dread really was a pleasure to paint. I am never doing a big model ever again.>>97471958Takes one to know one, I guess.
>>97471979Was it that obvious as bait? Sorry it came off as a legit comment, and we have so many newbies to hobbying itt I thought it could be one of them
>>97471967>>97471979>samefagging
>>97471835>TemplatesOh yeah that explains it
>>97471744From what I've seen that kit is pretty rough. GW probably has fixed their setup for this one by now though.
>>97471616For me it's House Khymere.
>>97472005How can mouldlines be an issue with recent sculpts? I thought the tradeoff of having annoying and hard to kitbash builds was to strategically hide mould lines.
Overlord with Translocation Shroud looks fun, but is it as much of a moldline/building nightmare as it seems?
>>97472026He's got a similar diagnosis to some people here
Having a Canis Rex is so great. Whenever I start a new Imperial Army I can just throw it in to reach 1000 or 2000 points easy
>>97471537Yes, but loyalist knights also need to be relegated to loyalist mechanicus.
>>97472033>How can mouldlines be an issue with recent sculpts?It's GW.
Let Chaos idols take this thread!
>>97471546Start playing 1000-1500 pt games and have both players agree to at least two battleline units.
Any tips for painting Mandrakes kill team?
>>97472076This may sound counterproductive, but prime them white. That way you know the spots that you need to paint after you did the skin. So you wont miss out on parts of the mini because it got hidden.Also dont do pure black. Do a 2/3 black 1/3 dark blue mix.Or dark green if you want a green hue.
>>97471490TQ:My knight abominant killing enemies just by proximity. And also getting killed by neurogants because of their anti psyker tag.
>>97472108Thanks, nigga.
Are any interesting pre-orders out tomorrow?
>>97471786Disagree. Ultramarines double dip. They have all their special characters, and now unique unit (victrix), have unique detachments, but still get access to Tier 2 Oath of Moment. The divergent chapters either lose the +1 to wound (BA, DA, SW) or lose oath entirely (BT).Standard units in divergent chapters are costed as if they have access to +1 to wound, and often don't work that well without it. Everyone else is paying the ultramarines tax. UM should lose Tier 2 oath if they take any UM specific units, the same way everyone else does.
>>97472133No
if my goal is to be defense maxxing with space marines, is triple deathwing knights in wrath of the rock my starting point?
Do we have many entries for the collage?
Total Annihilation.
>>97472057Based and rratpilled
>>97472197What does Jair Bolsonaro have to do with Nuln Oil?
>>97472159I havent played the new BT yet, but how good is their sticky objective on every infantry unit when you run an infantry spam?
>>97472217Drinking it is why he keeps going to the hospital
>>97472159>DisagreeWell you can be wrong. Blood Angels, Deathwatch, Salamanders, Raven Guard, Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Space Wolves have all had top 4 finishes in 50+ person tournaments in the last 2 months and that includes the ridiculously OP Vitrix Guard meta. You don't leave your house, so you look at all the Ultramarines ads and sloptuber videos whining about poor balance as whats actually happening on the table. Ultramarines are strong, but they are Ultramarines. Vitrix Guard doesn't go in non Ultramarines armies, and people are playing far more non Ultramarines marine armies than otherwise in 40k.
>>97469683As an avid Totalwarhammer player who ranks it on his top 5 game, defended the DLC price increase and actually like Totalwarhammer 3s start. It took the series until a year into Totalwarhammer 2 to become good. The first had so many basic things lacking it was unreal. So going by those standards it will take Totalwarhammer 40k a year and a half from launch to be decent
I just paid $120 for 2 boxes of 3 Deldar Reavers from a 3rd party seller. I want to die myself. My only source of comfort is knowing that I would’ve payed $60 more from any other seller. Unless I had been patient for another release of them which is God knows when.
>>97472241How do you stop from becoming bored as fuck when the battles all become the same partway through the midgame of a campaign?
>>97472187uncharacteristically based

>>97472248dude got that Tohunga paintjob
>>97472159Bro, BA LAS get +1 attacks and +2 strength on a charge, which is in many cases a +1 to wound on its own and doesn’t rely on an Oath target.
>>97472057I don't dislike Bae, but this meme DOES seem a little forced.
>>97472254>nuuuu no crossboard posting!!!You'd make a great subreddit mod, how about you go janny over there
Hey anons do any of you play battles with either friends/locals or in tournaments? If yes, could you share some epic or funny moments that happened to your dudes? Be it lucky rolls like underdog winning ridiculously or entire turns going south or great or whatever shenanigans be. Be it in context of pure gameplay or lore implications of such shit happening etc.I don't play personally since there are no places I can in my area & idk people that play but have watched many battle reports
>>97472283>You’d make a great subreddit modI’ll take your word for it, homo.
>>97472272I've been on a crazy nostalgia trip about Bionicle lately and was going to put on the movies next hobby sesh, and here you post this. Wild how the universe works.
>>97472249I'm not Brazilian or him, I just like making memes. I searched up old man hawaiian shirt holding cocktail stock image and that's what came up
>>97472304>>97472272Baby carriers if GW weren't fucking around
>>97472244NTA, but I only play armies where the Legendary Lord is a fucking powerhouse and I build my army to be>Skarbrand/Imrik/Kholek solos the enemy while his 1000 cheerleaders watch from afar.That of I play fun doomstacks like >Louen Leoncoeur and his 18 paladins flying circus (and one ground based damsel to cheer for them) merry crusade.>Kroq Gar's Jurassic Park Adventure>Imrik and his dragon army solos the Chaos wastes.The game is fun if you dont get memed into playing at the bullshit hardest difficulty where a skaven slave is as tough as a dwarf warrior.
>>97472304
>>97472304You should play the flash game if you haven't. It's a lot of fun.
Based fellow bionicle boomers
>>97472339nigga, how
>>97472339I dabbled it in as a kid but flash games these days are pretty tricky to get your hands on. I'll have to check biomedia for it
>>97472340Me and my friends used to set up our army men and eventually the few space marines we had in his backyard and would fill up the bionicle containers with water and seal them, climb onto his roof and then throw them at his trampoline so they'd bounce super high and crash down on the little battle we set up

>>97472521I will. Thank you.
>>97472399ALL the loyalists primarchs coming back
>>97471546I think it's too late to get the old force org chart back but I think it's possible to do something else to help guide army creation. Something akin to what HH3.0 does but obviously far less complex. Also PPM and wargear points coming back would help.
>>97472600They are coming back, I'm sure of it, but it will take them like two decades to release them.
>>97472399The Emperor x Isha after Russ saves her from Nurgle
>>97472617Increase the points cost of everything desu. A 1500 point list used to be like twenty dudes, a tank, and a skimmer. Now 1500 points is like forty dudes with transports and a centerpiece™ model.
>>97472617Wargear coming back after an entire edition of letting people put whatever guns they want on their models would be an extremely GW move.>gave your space marine a plasma pistol? guess you gotta buy another one if you don't want to spend the points on the upgrade (^:
>>97472622There was a supposed leak from several years ago (certainly before the Lion returned and maybe before Guilliman) that said Guilliman, the Lion, Russ, and Corvus would all return in that order
What are the main wishes from 10th to 11th rules wise?I know less rerolls is one of the main ones (which I feel will either get confirmed or deconfirmed based on if marines have oath of moment stay the same or not) Personally I hope for more thematic things like commissars being able to lead ogryns in grizzled company and being able to make lords/crypteks destroyers in cursed legion. Something like space marine sorcerers being able to lead daemon battleline I guess
>>97472658>leak from 10 years ago
>>97472638>people sell extra models on ebay>4 years from now 12th edition raises points costs
>>97472658I can see that. I'm pretty sure Russ is next. SW are their own army with big following. They wouldn't need to stretch much to bring him back unlike Sanguinius. Russ will print them money.Corax, Vulcan, Khan and Dorn are whatever. Ferrus and Manus would require some work and bending the story, which will eventually happen, but not right now. Ok, maybe they can do something with Dorn, if they do some Imperial Fists / Black Templars thing that would unite them in one army with one codex or supplement.
>>97472699>Ferrus and ManusFerrus Manus and Sanguinius. I have cold, sorry for that.
>>97472370Do you have the Mars Mission we-have-Starcraft-at-home as well?
Well, post models/games/wips.I have mad respect for those that can paint eyes, these are mostly done for me. Maybe I'll highlight the brow ridges and whatnot slightly but that's about it.
>>97472399Massive interbreeding between humans and Eldar.
>>97472751Sorry anon I was more into red alert 2 at the time
>>97472678I would like unit enhancements not tied to characters. Something to make your regular dudes feel more elite without character bloat.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>97472699Yeah, from a meta perspective the order makes sense. In-lore Guilliman and the Lion were alive and their locations were known. All they needed to do was wake up. After those two low hanging fruit, Russ is the obvious next choice in that his chapter is super popular, bringing him back would make GW a lot of money, and there's no direct lore impediment to him returning, he just has to return from wherever he went. After that it gets interesting but Corvus is as good a next option as any considering a Sanguinius return would be the most difficult to navigate lore wise and would probably only ever be a "break glass in case of emergency" last ditch effort to squeeze the final possible bit of profit out of the setting
>>97471546We bring force org back. Getting rid of it was a massive mistake.
>>97472886Which is sad, the kabalite drukhari are some of the best designs that GW still produces. Their replacement will surely be a step back like the new ork boyz were.
>>97472286Me (Blood Angels) vs my buddy (Orks) in round 4 of 2000 point strike force. I’m only 2 points behind. He has home and one NML objective, I have home and one NML objective. Center objective fight, his only unit left is Ghaz without Makari. All I have there is Lemartes and one DC int. Ghaz has one wound left. If I can clear Ghaz I can take center and win, if not lose. Int fails to wound, lets go Lemartes. Hits on 2’s, 5 attacks. Roll… 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. No CP left. What are the fucking odds?
Been away for a couple of years, finally wanting to make my Grey Knight army, they in any way a good place or worth doing?
>>97472965Sounds pretty grey desu
>>97472965wait until 11th for them to get some actual good looking models.
>>97472408only if they all look like Griffith or Sephiroth
>>97471546>Ban named characters>Physically beat any meta faggots>smash their models if they dont have an army like pic relatedAs shrimple as that
>>97473006The focus on named character is one of the worst parts of 40k right now. It’s so hard to care about anything when each army in every game is lead by an avenger equivalent.
I love named characters. Every army should have 30 named character variants. For every 5 models you should have 10 heros in your list. For a center piece, it should be a hero that forces you to run 20 other heroes, 10 of whome are also named.
>>97471546seeing the defiler and chaos spawn looking the exact same does tickle me a little bit
>>97472751>Do you have the Mars Mission we-have-Starcraft-at-home as well?We are brothers in war.
>Using named charactersnigga I want to self insert as a dude leading an army, I can't do that with a named character
Is this a terrible list? >Champions of Faith>1 Palatine w/ Eyes of the Oracle>1 unit of Celestian Insidiants >3 Hospitallers>3 units of 10 Celestian Sacresants>3 units of 10 Battle Sisters>2 units of 2 Crusaders (Legends are allowed in this game)>3 Castigators>4 Rhinos
>>97473000Not that Anon, but get your eyes tested, you seem to be blind - or just have no taste.>>97473025Named characters being made overpowered just to sell centerpiece/expensive models is one of the worst things to happen to 40k as the years went on.
>>97472655That really only impacts the hyper competitive scene. So it sounds like a win to me. Fuck 'em.
>>97473041Grey knights are overdesigned trash as is.
They should remove most of named characters. Regular characters should be customizable enough to make them into named characters with some ideas from GW, like a page or two in codex with some sample builds "If you want Titus, pick this, this and that."
>>97473033>>97471546csmGODS, are we buying any of the old raptor or defiler kits before they go the way of the dodo? I have 2 defilers and kinda feeling like one more before the new one comes out. let your voice be heard
Would it be too autistic to use my families crest as my dude's heraldry?It might be too narcissistic
>Flashgitz have the same misunderstanding of 40k as secondaries and right wing grifters >Imperium is justified in all their actions>Any world blown up was because it was lost or losing to nids, or alien invasion and never over some bullshit, misunderstanding or someones ego and everyone was dead already>No mention of how the Imperiums tyranny feeds chaos and makes all their real problems much worseGrim
>>97471490Why that lady so large
>>97473070I killed an ant on my screen because of this picture of the defiler. In the past 4 editions of playing with the defiler in 40k, the most useful this piece of shit has been for me, its been in this one instance where it was an image of my screen. I just felt like sharing that.
>>97473070I have a Defiler and might grab one more for my Death Guard. Might also get a third for either my potential Thousand Sons army or for my main CSM force. Or why not both and make it four?
>>97473058Terminal bad taste. Sad to see.
>>97473083no if you play knights of some sort, yes if anything else
>>97471551You swapped out a head at best. Customize my ballsack.
>>97472678Keyword-based army construction. You start with a set number of CHARACTER slots. Different armies could have different numbers of these slots based on how that army functions. The CHARACTER keyword becomes CHARACTER (X) where X is the number of BATTLELINE units you are now allowed to take. The BATTLELINE keyword becomes BATTLELINE (X) where X is the number of SUPPORT units you may now include. SUPPORT units are everything else that is neither CHARACTER nor BATTLELINE. The numbers could all be adjusted to suit different factions' army compositions. Detachments could also adjust these numbers.
>>97473105oh so like aos third edition.
>>97473070I have a Defiler, Soul Grinder, and Plague Hulk. I'm content, and welcome the new one. Not a huge fan of the Raptors kit per se, but it had some good bits in it that aren't in the new one (biggest example being the Warp Talon claws that are mutant bone spikes coming out of power fists).
>>97471716He's weirdly annoying on the tabletop because if you kill him in melee, he says "NU UH" and fights back, and if he kills even a single model, he heals instead of dies. There's ways to counter this, but he is an annoying threat that doesn't stay dead. Touch a rhino or something with him and his friends, and that rhino will never move again.
>>97473040Looks good to me. The rhinos are very efficient for the points and its very kino to run a ton of sisters, this is exactly the type of list I like to run.Some other stuff you might be interested in:Junith Ereita + Imagifier attached to a Battle Sisters Squad to make them absurdly tanky (-1 to wound + / 2+ save / 4+ invuln save)Immolator for its special rule to split a Battle Sister Squad into 2 5 man squads and its meltas to punch vehicles.
>>97473115>Plague HulkI am jelly
I have zero interest in painting, I just does nothing for me at all, but I do like the look of the game. Is it a taboo to get an army painted for me?
>>97473222Just play on TTS
>>97473231you're so right
So let me get this straight. Space Marines can run 12 dreadnoughts (more in some cases) in one army, but a CSM army can only run 3.
>>97473158Eh, it's a recast (from Cheap n Fast). The body came out great but the legs are kind of fucked up and the claw armour needed heated into shape.
>>97473252Blame James for not letting them have the old Dreadnoughts after they got refreshed for Horus Heresy
>>97473222It’s extremely taboo. Most artists who do commission work often do so while hiding in the attics of WAACfags.
>>97473252 This is one of the things I want a potential Dark Mechanicum release to address. LET ME RUN A BUNCH OF BIG, MECHANICAL MONSTROSITIES, JAMES WORKSHOP!
>>97473316>BIG, MECHANICAL MONSTROSITIESDaemon engines brah
>>97473252this does make sense though, chaos marines dont have the logisitics to run that much shit, while the goody towo shoes do.
>>97473084>Secondaries act like secondaries
>>97473084>>97473331wtf are secondaries?
>>97473325 Don't get me wrong, I love the Forgefiend/Maulerfiend kit. I just want more. So much more. The Defiler is a joke, though we are supposedly getting a new kit. The Lord of Skulls is basically only good in World Eaters and it's not very monstrous. I want more horrifying amalgamations of flesh and steel.
>>97473025Every army but the Tyranids
>>97473155I'm glad to hear that it's fine, I was worried that I might have not enough bodies or something>Junith Ereita + Imagifier attached to a Battle Sisters Squad to make them absurdly tanky (-1 to wound + / 2+ save / 4+ invuln save)This'll be a crusade game, so I'm not planning on using any Epic Heroes>Immolator for its special rule to split a Battle Sister Squad into 2 5 man squads and its meltas to punch vehicles.I considered that, but I'd probably have to give up a castigator or two. And since I have 3 pairs of Crusaders, I've got some decent action monkeys already
>>97473222Its a bit taboo, but not THAT taboo. You can just play on TTS though. It's more just insanely expensive to do so.
>>97473091you will get an updated defiler datasheet with the new kit and your defiler will never disappoint you again>>97473092Based
>>97473369I assume you are running the Champions of Faith detachment.
>>97473347Theoretically, someone who engages with the setting in mediums that aren't related to the tabletop, I.E. books, animations, etc.Practically it's any faggot who's entirw understanding of the setting comes mostly from memes and poorly reiterated secondary sources
>>97473382Yup
>>97473384but the tabletop tells you nothing of the setting at all, like oh the great battle of the 2,000 points of ultramarines vs 2,000 points of orks was won when a squad of intercessors pushed the orks off a primary in turn 5, what a legendary tale
>>97473399Which is why lore discussion belongs on /lit/, and would be primary there, and game discussion belongs here, and is primary here.
>>97472399Progressing the storyThe whole reason 40k is the way it is stems from justifying the way people can play a match of two space marine chapters fighting each other like it's Badab all over again. Progressing the story like Guilliman somehow getting the imperium running properly without any problem would make the in-fighting of imperium factions nonsensical [No, Alpha Legion is not a good excuse even if it's funny] and the same goes for most factionsSo for as much as an Ork player would LOVE to have a waagh of all Ork clans uniting under one banner that makes The beast look like a grot, Orks infighting is their whole schtick.Shit like this is how 40k gets hit with The End Times. None of you want 40k end times.
>>97473418This seems like a pointless thing to care about
it's too fucking hot to paint
>>97473470ignore him, he's the dude who thinks people arguing about lore is more dentrimental to this thread then 10 threads ruined by decalfag and his orbiter every day
>>97473424Another thing that would ruin the setting is just trying to give it an optimistic endgoal that involves snuffing out chaos for good.By that point you might as well turn Matt ward into the CEO of games workshop so he can push Ultramarines to win the setting because idk, Gulliman turns into super saiyan and fires a spirit bomb at the eye of terror, or some shitty shit like that because it ''progresses'' the story
Does anybody have that ''This post was FACT CHECKED by true Iron warriors'' picture?I need it. Pretty please and thank you.
>>97473565I found it on google dot com for you
>>97473399>but the tabletop tells you nothing of the setting at alThe codex for the tabletop does

>>97473725Space Wolves players be like that sometimes.
>40k is a refutation of the themes of WFB. It's central thesis is that tolerance and empathy are delusions. Differences between races are inconsolable. If two people are different, they will hate each other on a genetic level and desire the destruction of the other more than their own survival. Only by purging yourself of the weakness of empathy and filling your heart with spite and fanaticism can you achieve victory.>The second thesis is that life is the greatest mistake the universe ever made. We are born to suffer (why all souls in 40k go to hell) and it would have been better had life never emerged to begin with. Life itself is inherently evil (why hell even exists is because life created it).So we're just a Warhammer Fantasy shitpost in the end?

>Chaos predates the War in Heaven>Said War in Heaven didn't actually matter because it was just the Chaos Gods setting the stage for the Heresy>The Old Ones were morons being duped and the Necrons never had a chance at all>Eldar were simply kept around to maintain the status quo, when the Chaos Gods were ready they simply made the Eldar Empire implode on itself when it was time for the Imperium to rise>No xenos have ever mattered in thw grand scheme, Humans have always been the most important species in the galaxy and the Emperor is the single most important person everSo... why bother being a xenos fan?

>>97473988>headcanon
>>97474021It won't. The white colour are areas where the plastic has stretched or been strained. Are you using Tamiya thin cement or another glue that comes with a brush? If so you can go over the top of it with a thin layer of glue and all the tool marks will disappear, but as long as it is physically smooth, it won't show up after prime even if you don't topcoat it with glue
>>97474057Official canon from The End And The Death.
>>97474046>Today I will remind him
Clearly Chaos won the Horus Heresy because they defeated the Emperor and then decided to sleep for 10 thousand years in the Eye of Terror until the Imperium imploded.
>>97474080My favorite black library addition is that the Necrons only won after the Eldar switched sides and joined them.
i hate xenosnot racist, just don't like 'em

>>97474080No it's not
>>97474099They won and they lost.The Emperor admitted defeat when the Webway War was lost.The Chaos lost when the Emperor killed Horus but they realised that they won anyway when they bore witness to the 10k years that followed. It was better than the quick death they wanted for mankind. They get to drag it out sweet and slow
Is the last campaign before 11th really the 500 Worlds of Ultramarine plot armor? Or are we getting something else?
>>97474174>aha sex pp cum aha>dude RAPE lmao>LOL DAE CUM?!?
>>97474046But Eldar won
>>97474200No.We are getting 500 Huron. And probably two more books before the end. The Iron Warriors are after Huron.Gathering Storm was 3 books.Arks of Omen was 4.
>>97474200Maelstroms
>>97474099They catastrophically miscalculated. They waited too long to bust a move and now that 40k is as popular as it's ever been named-character creep is starting to set in thereby accelerating the arrival of 40k End Times and the inevitable multi-faction team up to rko chaos once and for all
>>97474230>Arks of Omenlmao I forgot about that.Fukken Abaddon the Despoiler, Warmaster of the Black Legion, inheritor of Horus's Will and he comes up with the strategy Orks have been using for ten thousand years already.
>>97474230>>97474231Really need a break from the ultra-spam.
>>97474254The idea was Vashtorr's.And the Arks of Omen are not simple space hulks. They were the custom creations of Vashtorr. Vashtorr then taught the Black Legion how to create more.Book 1 highlights the modifications VAshtorr added to the space hulks.
>>97474277So Orks did it even better because they didn't have to do all the superfluous modifications they just picked them up and got to stompin'?Fucking chaos man. Total jokes.
>>97474294Arks of Omen can navigate the Warp while Ork hulks pop and disappear anywhere in the galaxy at random.The biomechnical tendrils of Vashtorr allow the Chaos warlord in charge to have better control over the space hulk and its many mesh-mashed weapon systems.Also, there is a Warp rift in the middle of them, allowing for endless Chaos reinforcements.Orks can't beat that.
>>97474320Orks don't need all that

hello friends i have painted a space marine
>>97474416Well done Anon. Now paint those shell casings.
Have eldar ever been the main character in any 40k videogames?Yrliet doesn't count because she's not the main character and is also retarded.
>>97474416
Got this buddy for 25bucks. I havent painted human flesh yet, any color recommendation?
>set up new potential chaos god>do nothing with him>move onto other plotsWhy did they do it?
>>97474431Yes.Rites of War video game.
>>97474416A fellow hazard stripe enjoyer
>>97474356The existence of aliens in and of themselves is the evil part.
>>97474437?Vashtorr crashed into the Pariah Nexus, and he was revealed to be the hidden benefactor of Cawl, who was aiding him from the shadows.
>>97474434Prime it first
>>97474442If the Machine God created the universe, then why did he create the aliens and their technologies if they are evil?
>>97474434Rhinox hide
>>97474437They are still doing things with himHe was just prominently featured in the recent Cawl book and he's currently battling the Silent King >>97474356The Imperium met hundreds of friendly and reasonable alien races and then robbed and killed them

>>97474452Refer to point 1 of the warnings. >The alien mechanism is a perversion of the true path.Aliens had the option of following the true path but have perverted it.
>>97474428they're painted silver but i guess it's hard to see in the photo. i did the last one copper which i didn't like a highlight will help i think
>>97474477This is why simply painting everything in NMM is important.
>>97474477How minimalist, well done, Anon.
>>97474416seeing all that detail painted blue makes me sad
>>97474490It's an ultramarine why wouldn't it be painted blue?
>>97474434army painted jasper skin base, ancient stone mixed in to highlight, and a soft tone wash.
>>97474494That's not a good reason to paint all the different sections of the belt, chainfist, undersuit int he joints etc. a single colour.
>>97474494it's a crimson fist
>>97474437Stupid sexy vashtorr waistline...
>>97474447Obviously I have to prime it, but will have to wait until i get a new primer or I find the way to fix the clogged spray paint cap...>>97474467Huh, interesing options. I'll go for Kislev Flesh (cheaper one at amazon lol)
>>97474512I'm sorry. I don't play warhammer.
>>97474515Just buy/steal a new cap from the hardware store, or try holding the can upside down and spraying a few times.
>>97474516Why are you here
>>97474529I'm just glad everybody else is having a good time.
>>97474533That doesnt answer my question
>>97474542I paint minis sometimes.
>>97471745Yeah that's a tranny. He's eager to portray how "feminine" he is with all the girl shit in the frame alongside the Warhammer stuff.
>>97474553Anon its a woman who happens to be a lesbian, again I dislike the Transformational people but this aint one of them.
>>97474556I'd rather a tranny than a woman. At least the former is male.
>>97474566Anon what are you saying...
He's right behind me isn't he?
>>97472286I was playing my Chaos Knights against my friend's Ctan heavy monolith necrons in an impromptu kaiju battle. My Nurglings charged his monolith turn 1 and survived. And then, on his turn, they survived. And then, on my turn, they survived. And then they died. But I salute those little fucks locking a monolith in place for almost 3 turns straight.
>>97471883Look at all the replies from these seething simps. Looks like you're over the target fren
>>97474601....shes a portly dung skin who has done nothing but post her models and be friendly to the board, post your models or fuck off already.
>>97473868Possibly.
>Roboute pulls the entire Ultramarine chapter from the Fourth Tyrannic War to play Space Rome in Ultramar>The Fourth Tyrannic War, which is touted as the largest war ever, whose outcome will decide the fate of the ImperiumTyranid bros. Any comments? Why have the Nids been sidelined like this?
>>97474356
>>97474630Because Tyranids are a jobber faction. We exist to job. We're simultaneously the biggest non-chaos threat the galaxy has but also a force that everyone just kind of ignores and never kills a planet that anyone actually gives a fuck about. Hell, Cawl terraformed a planet Kraken destroyed, so we don't even have that anymore.
>>97473105The absolute dumbest shit I've ever read.
>>97474650>Cawl terraformed a planet Kraken destroyed........ why doesn't the imperium just terraform any barren husk of rock in every inhabited system then?
>>97474697If it involves cawl, there's the chances the shit he used isA)Considered tech heresyB)Shit that only he ownsC)Both reasons listed above (can't mass produce terraforming tech coz tech heresy so only Cawl gets to do shit)
>>97474707okay but like, why bother with the planets the nids nom'd? Since stuff like having an atmosphere or hydropshere or the barest scraps of organic matter left is apparently optional, surely there are far easier terraforming candidates, and more conveniently placed ones too.
>>97474675Concession accepted
Friend is offering me sealed box of the 2009 Space Hulk for 200€Is Space Hulk fun?
>>97474697>>97474650I read the novel and he is "terraforming" the emperor scythes homeworld, Cawl said he will save the planet but it will take years(don't remember how many) to complete the task
>>97474697Time, resources, lack of eldar pussy for guilliman to be excited. Orks could terraform them but it'd be an ork shithole mushroom world.
Remember the Angels of Death warhammer tv series?What were your thoughts on it?I miss the piracy app group that was always reuploading the warhammer tv stuff.
>>97474828I thought it was really shit. Boring story wise, pretty ugly, horrifying shaky cam.Always thought hammer and bolter was way better because it had actually interesting subject matter and storylines, but 40k tards just saw the choppy animation. BAKA.
>>97474828the bits with the former DW member yelling about having to deal with their curse alone were good, and when the one guy fell to the rage and the chaplain had to execute him was good tooand the dreadnought death was well done as wellI forget most of the rest
>>97474828Awful animation, poor pacing and not much happens but it has a few extremely peak moments >>97474839 the DW vet describing struggling with the advancing rage and blood thirst alone was cool. https://youtu.be/a_0Gi1NI-40
>>97474846>>97474839https://youtu.be/a_0Gi1NI-40threads opinion on animation memes?
Postan final pics for my Collage entry
Pretty happy with how the burn on the melta turned out. Second time ever painting up Salamanders.
>>97474828Average to mediocre story, really jank animations with the mouth movements and faces being the worst (funny to watch tho), and I'm assuming the stylistic choice to make everything monotone while only the color red stands out was to help cover up the bad animation to a degree. Good voice acting though.
>>97474885This is where the cars live! Getchu one!
>>97474889Looks great! Purple planet is cool too. although I believe that is a Heavy Flamer
>>97474630Nids are treated as jobber/generic monster hoard faction like the Orks but without any named characters. They're hyped up as one of the biggest threats even Chaos can't stop them but the moment GW doesn't need them to shill whatever faction they're selling they get sidelined.
>>97474892rest in pieces scooter
>>97474630>>97474650Genestealers are the true threat. In fact, I'd go as far to say genestealers are the true nids.who knows how many worlds they've infected throigh tainting the supplies of a single exporter
>>97474891The monochrome style was probably to hide the bad models and backgrounds.
>>97474889What did the first time look like
>>97474109Eldar who betrays their enslavers (old ones) and steal their tech to taking control over galaxy sounds cool, but we both know that>black library addition is that the Necrons only won after the Eldar switched sides and joined themis bullshit and never happened
>>97474907Just a plain ol Infernus for practicing the paint scheme
>>97474891Not gonna lie. If it was a fan made animation of one guy doing all the CGI work and then a bunch of voice actors I think there would be a lot of praise for it. I’ve worked with Blender to modify some warhammer 40k stls and I have loads of respect for those who can work in 3D stuff.The shaky cam ruined the action for me.The color choices could have worked if things were still visible.I swear I think I heard the original DOOM pistol gunshot effect in there.Story was alright.Overall I wonder why GW hasn’t sunset the Warhammer Plus service.Also this is the face of the female gene stealer magus.Would you?
>>97474437Be glad they don't treat him like kragnos

sex with female custodes
what happens to applied miniature paint over time? when you're an old man in your 80s and you check up on the models you did when you were 25 and the models have been semi neatly stored, will the surface of the paint be cracked like old paintings? or will the plastic/resin/metal below the paint deteriorate and cause the paint to chip? asking for my future grand kids who sell my minis
>>97475027I don’t think female custodes would be interested in sexual relations due to protecting Emperor in the peak of their duty.But female Eyes Of The Emperor hags on the other hand…
>>97475037imagine an eye of the emperor hag who works as the madame for a brothel in a hive city whose working girls all act as spiesimagine her having to get her hands dirty on occasion, if you know what i mean
>>97475059she would rip out your dick
>>97475071wrong, no woman, custode or otherwise, has the strength for something like that. More likely should would sprain her wrist or get a hairline fracture trying.
>>97475059How do you imagine the way eye of the emperor female custodes hags should look like?I haven’t seen any fan art and I’m not sure if custodes retain a semblance of youthful beauty despite being said to be perfection when they reach that age where they have to become an eye of emperor.
>>97475086Can't you become an eye pretty young? It is just when your biology is no longer complete peak, right? That's like anyone over 25, no?
>>97475030>when you're an old man in your 80sOptimistic
>>97471820Allegedly Cabal of Chaos giving them +1S makes them OK.
can someone explain to me lions of the emperor stratagems?
>>97474900They're still being retarded by the way.
>>97472751Dunno but someone has been remaking Rock Raiders https://youtu.be/1mQacGNeNVA?si=UBK4oro8Jod00iOY
>>97475027Women don't like sex.
>>97475099I guess if injuries make it so then. I’m not really trusting of the lexicanum or wikia as I know fake fluff slips through. Most likely by trolls or autists trying hard to make their head canon accidentally get made canon.>scarred tall muscle hagsThat’s really hot. Someone get the female primarch artist on it.
what is the best detatchment for custodes?
>>97475155The one with free tampons
>>97475030Acrylic paint is fully cured in days. If any delamination occurs it'll happen soon after painting. As long as you're not painting pvc minis the material is also stable.
What’s Sa’kan up to these days?I want Henry Cavil’s 40k show to be cgi maybe better graphics than Pariah Nexus. Maybe something with the graphical fidelity of that Secret Level Titus animation or Love Death and Robots’ The Secret War.It might shatter the public perception that animation is just for kids despite hentai being around for decades.I also prefer animation to live action. Not sure why.As long as it doesn’t have those title cards like how Pariah Nexus of Warhammer plus had so many. Imagine the drinking games that involved watching that with those title cards.
>>97471774>filenameKek
>>97475187>What’s Sa’kan up to these days?We don't know. And I doubt GW will focus on him more.
>>97474356eh not really, Kroot and Vespids are literal fucking monsters. It's supposed to be ironic that the supposed good guys have to cope and ally themselves with monsters like this
>>97475086>>97475099Eyes of the Emperor tend to be older custodes and they choose to "retire" because they feel like their reaction time has worsened by like 0,000000001 seconds. Or if they lost a limb in a battle.I think most, both male and female custodes who retire look fine, maybe some grey hairs and few more lines on their face but still convetionally attractive.
>>97474356In all fairness, when the most numerous aliens in the galaxy are Orks, Eldar and now Tyranids, the position is pretty easily justified. Like sure Tau, Kroot and Vespids are angels in comparison but they're like 1% of any of the other races.
>>97475027God I wish I was that serf.
>>97474416>>97474477>helmetless marines, terminators at that>toy like, clean stylegood for you I guess, but I hate the way you paint
>>97471876Wasn't that one anon running them melee?
>>97475284this is just painful to look at. Like looking at an army through the bottom of a dirty glass
>>97475289That's what she said !
>>97475260That’s a good explanation actually. The few “official” pics of eye of emp custodes I found all wear gas masks and robes.Not sure how they blend in with crowds of regular humans when they are so tall too. Especially when being inconspicuous becomes a necessity.>>97475268Me too anon. Me too. Especially when isekai’d into a noble-bright 40k alternative universe.
>>97475155Probably Lions of the Emperors. "Against All Odds" is busted af and super thematic.
>>97475155>>97475324Not to mention, Lions of the Emperor gets one of the coolest and most fluffy stratagems in the entire game.
>the prices on those chaos battleforcesgoddamn nevermind then. Might as well buy the kits separately later without the FOMO
>>97475360When is the warhammer community on Reddit and bluesky and xitter going to try to use their usual politics and talking points to try and influence gw to lower the prices of their models? Games Workshop probably won’t listen but it would be funny to see.I remember the faces of warhammer thing being talked about.All it did was validate the stereotype of women always inserting their face into something when they photograph specific unrelated things.
>>97475380Um sorry poor brown people You Will Not Be Missed
>>97475382I know you’re joking but those kinds of warhammer fans might say that’s what games workshop is saying with their prices.
>>97475431I mean, it technically it isn't wrong.Like do you think some average dude in the Congo republic can afford this shit? No.
>>97475380Those people would have to actually care about Warhammer beyond being a battlefield for their culture war to understand that it's too expensive.
>>97475439Fair enough.>butI somehow remember a news headline about an lgs being robbed for Pokémon cards and I’m wondering why this hasn’t happened to a Warhammer store yet due to how much people will pay for the models.Maybe the type of idiots that steal probably aren’t aware of Warhammer yet and will start seeing dollar signs soon.I had this thought because a certain YouTuber who presents himself as an African warlord made up an origin story of being a Congo lad and did a trade involving his rifle only to get robbed at gunpoint by his own rifle.His name also derives from 40k stuff too.
>>97475476a pokemon card is the size of a credit card and weighs nothing yet can be worth thousands of dollars. a thief could easily stuff a tonne of them into a backpack even if they're slabbed or in binderswarhammer boxes are big and heavier and cap out in value at $300~
>>97475476pokemon cards sell for a lot more than warhammer kits, are distributed via gambling, have a larger consumerbase decades old with a history of collectible speculation. not to mention cards have an ideal state of being mint and model kits are the opposite
>>97475476Stealing packets of cards is very easy, they quite literally fit into your pocket.Most warhammer model kits are pretty large, you basically need at least a backpack. And good luck trying to be sneaky about shoving model kits backpack in a cramped GW store.Also the fact is just that 40k is still VERY niche as a product and setting. Not many people know about it, or if they do, they just don't care about it.Pokemon cards on the other hand has a massive market because practically most people have had pokemon cards or liked pokemon at some point. Like even I have some pokemon cards from my childhood, I don't remember where I got most of them and I don't even play the TCG.
>>97475502>>97475511Thanks lads.I have seen Lego scalpers so I feel it is only a matter of time before they come for Warhammer. If they haven’t yet.
>>97475533lol, the scalpers have been here for a very long time now already.Theft and scalping are a little bit different.
>>97475533That shit is here, but it's not anywhere near as bad as what Pokemon TCG players and AFOLs are plagued with.
>>97475537I must have forgotten but I guess they aren’t at the level of Pokémon or MTG scalpers.>>97475544I can already see whole official warhammer stores having nerds camping outside to essentially empty the place.You think GW would actually tackle the scalping problems like when plastic Krieg happened in their kill team incarnation or embrace the scalper money?
>discount is so bad box is borderline unscalpable
When GW make a kit it's usually in production for years if not decades, so not the same as card games that change to print new sets every few months. FOMO boxes are discount bundles or early releases of things that will eventually be available on their own, used as bait to shift unpopular items. Scalping may become more of a thing because GW are deliberately trying to reduce their inventory levels (see their latest financial report) making producing more than enough for everyone undesirable. Warehousing and transport costs the company more than manufacturing, despite the fact that they do it all in the UK rather than outsourcing to sweatshops, so it makes sense that they want to avoid flooding their shelves.
>>97475582Yeah, scalping gets really bad on ranges and boxes with exclusive models they don't produce a lot of. Like Lady Malys is still selling for $90+ on the secondary market.
>>97475328>Each Terminator is a 1 man army >This lets them literally be 1 man armiesHoly kino sovl.
>>97475562>they aren’t at the level of Pokémon or MTG scalpersThey are thoughbeit, you just have to pay attention to second hand markets. They are why GW boxes have had supply issues for the last 5-10 years, there's a bunch of fuckheads trying to make a living out of buying up bundle boxes and reselling individual squads for crazy prices. Here in Aus it's been a huge point of contention in the community.
>>97471904>This bitch againI knew you were a cunt. Post your lamenters again and have another melty, faggot.
>>97475607Remember when the Lion was going fur like 300-400 dollars some places when the little box set with three basic blade guards came out?That was pretty wild. I know a guy who actually paid the scalper prices for one too. Lifelong Dark Angels Deathwing player. Said he'd been waiting twenty years for the Lion to come back and he wasn't going to wait any longer.
>>97475155Lions of the Emperor or Talons of the Emperor currently, the former being best for Wardens, bikes and Terminators and the latter acquiring a renaissance thanks to Guards and Land Raiders being so cheap now.
>>97475284Thanks for the inspo
>>97475633Somehow I have been ignorant or deliberately forgot about all of it and made myself innocent again, sorry.>Australia I’m sorry about your price hike suffering.Here this might cheer you up or lessen the pain a little:https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-sgt-bazza-barry-free-download-408525>t. Leaf
>>97475328The trap with this stratagem is thinking>wow! I'll run a full 6 man allarus termis and an allarus shield captain before splitting them up!Except if you do that, you now have 7 distinct units very close to one another (they can only move 5 inches) and thus losing their godlike detachment rules where each unit need to be more than 6 inches away from one another.So just use a 3 man (with or without a shield captain) allarus unit. Its enough to hold obj and be a nuisance.
does anyone have that gif of the psyker from the astartes video but instead of the regular face it's the uoooh emoji?
surprisingly none of the chaos battleforces sold out yetAt most I was expecting the DG box to get snatched upExpecting the World Eaters box to end up rotting on FLGS store shelves like the imperial agents battleforces
>>97475726>>97475726>>97475726
>>97475716If there's a single unit in the box you don't want the value is already shit and there's not even an exclusive model to FOMO trick you with so I'm not surprised
>>97475733truly I'd just buy some units of poxwalkers myself if I really wanted them that badlyPutting the Felthius LoC in the box alone wrecks its chances so hard
