>>
>>97647893
WHAT
ARE YOU SERIOUS
So wash is only the halfway point, then re-paint?
>>
>>97647884
That's what it's meant to do, it's meant to add depth/shadows to the model.
it works better over models with a lot ot texture vs large flat surfaces, so if you're painting it on space marines or vehicles you may want to just recess shade so you avoid the bad pooling look.
>>
>>97647884
You're probably laying it on too thick, but that's also more or less what they're supposed to do, the wash is a middle step to painting a model. Basecoat -> wash -> layer -> highlight
>>
>>97647899
wash is generaly the second step you do after you put your base coat on, then you focus on layering and highlighting details.
got a pic of what you're working on?
>>
>>97647884
I paint a little brighter than I otherwise would, so the wash darkens it to what I had in mind.
>>
>>97647899
I mean if you want to you can apply the wash directly into the recesses to skip the relayering but it usually takes longer. Go watch a Duncan video, you should get the idea of a basic workflow
>>
>>97647899
you can try to be careful and only apply the wash to the recesses instead of dunking the whole model in it.

It doesn't have to be, no. Washes make great filters if you're using light and shadow tones that don't quite match. Slopping on a wash, rinsing your brush and then cleaning off some areas before it dries is a valid final step in the process.

There's a difference between playing competitive and your unit just hitting like a wet noodle and not having the strict upgrades you paid for. I hate no wargear costs.

This is kind of an annoying thing with CSM in general, where you have so many oodles of special weapons now thanks to the kill teams building normal guys is "wrong". Normal bolter csm have barely ANY reason to exist, despite "guy with bolter" looking cool as fuck, and even chainsword legionaires barely have space.

Fair. Probably needed. But that one strat has been propping up the whole faction hard because they are awful outside of spectacle.

That also hurts a lot because Hellions are the only real hammer unit the faction has since the incubi nerf outside of epic heroes.
>incubi -5, kabs -10
Eh, both help but Incubi are still not nearly as great anymore without access to reroll wounds and Kabalites are still overcosted at 105. Weird that they aren't even going to try touching Hand of the Archon despite it being total trash compared to Kabalites and their last update that let them use venoms still not fixing their main ability to work in transports.

Aside from the obvious Hellblasters and Havocs, I think there could be:
Kasrkin?
Crisis suits w/ plasma weapons
Gauss Immortals

I don't really know the other factions well enough to know easy analogues. I'm sure Sisters, Admech and Agents all have some sort of plasma tech as well.

>>97648103
A ton of shit isn't available anywhere, because that's GW's new buisness model. Instead of making a range of kits for the game that they keep in stock and have to sit on and not sell for who knows how long, they release a never ending churn of HOT NEW PRODUCTS that they sell out of after the initial production run, and restock eventually some day maybe if they have machine time and it's been out of stock long enough for demand to recharge. And then they go out of print after just a few years when the HOT NEW PRODUCT sales bonus has completely run out. Evertything short of the most generic core units is destined for the legends bin withing the next decade tops.

Felgor Ravagers for sure, and probably all the other cultist units they've added recently

When everyone is pretty, no one is. And therefore content and personality becomes the most important part. Sure, some of them are playing a character. But you'd have to have an iron will to perfectly play that character for 2-5 hours at a time.

Meanwhile, meat streamers just show their tits to get 10 billion horny teenagers and third worlders and have the personality of the most annoying white woman you can think of.

>>97648280
You, generally speaking, can't completely (although you'll get better over time.) Best advice is to paint the color with better coverage first, then the other, and correct mistakes carefully. For example, if you were painting black legion, paint your black, then your gold, and then it's easy to cover up any stray gold with quick fixes.

Yea, they want to be the "it's all morally grey!" setting, while also having unabiguously heroic perfect ubermench slaughtering ravenous space monsters to defend humanity. The imperium can, at worst, be wasteful and callous towards human life, and overly paranoid about the theat of moral corruption, but considering moral corruption can literally lead to the souls of an entire planet being consumed by demons, who can blame them?

I'm trying to put together a basic 500 point list to learn how to play this game with.

5x Intercessors - 80 pts
5x Hellblasters - 110 pts
3x Bladeguard Veterans - 80 pts
3x Eradicators - 90 pts

The Imperium has never been the good guys, but GW realized that a lot of 40k fans are too uncultured or stupid to realize that so every now and then they have to say so directly.

No, anon. The Imperium is evil. Chaos is also evil. Xenos? Also evil. That's the whole point of the setting. They're all bad. There are no good guys. In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only war. That's the whole concept of the setting.

Good or bad doesn't really matter, I like them because they're interesting. It's a bizarre kind of strangereal society, bits of Roman, bits of Renaissance, bits of futurism, bits of reconquista, bits of the crusades and others. It's fairly unique and it's an interesting aesthetic.

Thats another thing I like about the Imperium, how diverse it is and how its basically a giant sandbox for you to make stuff up in. Which makes sense, the ultimate purpose for it is to be background fluff for /yourdudes/ after all, even if a lot of people forget that these days.

>+10 despoiler
>When the despoiler is the only questoris chassis worth taking in Chaos Knights

That's so retarded I'd believe it. 36 6/2/2 attacks is good, dont get me wrong, but the issue in spiky knights isn't that despoilers are too good, its that everything else is kind of mediocre. I fucking love Rampagers but they're so easily screened from touching what they want to crash into you're almost better off parking it behind a building so the threat of them coming out is more dangerous than actually doing so. Lancers somehow aren't even the best melee Cerastus if you do the math. The Atropos laser cutter is somehow better at melee than the GIGANTIC FUCKING ROCKET LANCE THE LENGTH OF A LAND RAIDER.

So whats the best plan? Parking 3 despoilers at various points across the map and hoping you get carried by Lethal Hit spam while nurglings and beasts of nurgle create a detroit parking lot in the middle. And the worst part is it isn't even an effective plan since the faction is sitting at like a 40% winrate.

For minis being used on the tabletop, the top always. Looks weird when basing overhangs. If you're making it with the express intent of it going into a diorama and living 99% of it's life there (but you've got it on a base and not glued directly into the diorama just in case you want to play with it, or want to take it out for closer viewing), then you might consider lining the basing up with the bottom edge to make it look as seamless as possible with the rest of the diorama.

>>
>>97648549
Could you perhaps use modelling clay to make a ring around the base that aligns the top with the bottom?
>>
>>97648606
I think your best bet would actually be a genestealer cults counts as army for an inq28 army. Lots of human sized specialist characters or all different kinds. Your cool psyker kitbash can be a Benefictus instead of some chump in an inquistion acolytes unit. Your cool gunslinger can be a kelermoprh, and so on. You'd just need to replace anything genestealy with mechanical. You even get to soup in guard vehicles if you want to. Only thing that option is missing that you might want is knights or a good unit to proxy sisters or space marines for.

That makes sense. As a "playable diorama" goes I'm more interested in the "playable" part looking right. Besides, all the other bases will have trenches around them, and if I'm particularly bothered by the gap with the steps I could just make the steps on the diorama a multi-part thing.
>>97648642
I honestly wouldn't think so. Even assuming I sculpted the clay ring to be extra-smooth, I think it'd still make the base look clunky beside other minis on the tabletop.

It's just a shield for people who are too pussy to admit that it's cool and fun.
Enjoying fiction is not an endorsement of the real world things that fiction represents. But retards do not understand this because they are retards and western culture is gayer than a gas station glory hole.
A Catholic/Orthodox-themed authoritarian regime that glorifies the destruction of the Other is really cool when you don't actually have to deal with the messy consequences. That's what fiction is for.
Unintelligent people have a very tough time separating themselves from the things they consume. They can't understand why they enjoy it, but they do, so they make up convenient excuses instead of facing themselves or facing reticule from other, equally unintelligent individuals.

Just stop caring what retards think and disregard their opinions. Nothing bad will happen if you do. It's all hot air at the end of the day. So with if some Twitter tranny thinks you're a fascist for painting plastic soldier men? Them them to kill themselves and continue your day.

Craftworld suffer from being effectively a bunch of self-interested assholes. You make a deal with them and the others will go "that was only with them" and they'll start lobbing shuirkens like weebs at you. Eldrad does try, but it seems like he suffers from being a retarded elf at times.

Morally good faction is techincally the Imperium because they are the only faction that is actually hurting Chaos. The Emperor pissing on Nurgle's Garden quite literally is the most morally good thing that has happened in millennia in 40k. He might've killed those Farseers that got turned into trees. Is the Imperium a giant byzantine piece of shit full of suffering? Yes! Are they morally good? You know how many xenos or retards worship Chaos gods because the Eldar murder fucked their way into destablizing the warp?

Most Evil faction is Dark Eldar followed by the Tau. The Tau are just retards, who aren't aware of how retarded they are. The Tau don't actually have the Imperium's whole "we have some justification for being monsterous because AB&C followed by the the Emperor being unresponsive and the Primarchs going missing causing cultural stagnation."

>>97648407
It's more that the Imperium is the only faction that isn't A) Immortal dickheads who fucked the warp to begin with and have no solutions B) things that exist to fight or eat C) Demons who want to assrape everybody D) Irrelevant faction that has no solution for the Warp and GW has never actually looked into them properly.

The Tau often do similar shit, but without any of the excuses of the Imperium. The real issue I have with them is that they aren't fully developed enough after 20 fucking years to actually integrate into the setting. They have potential to do shit that alludes to why the Emperor did shit a certain way without outright saying it.

Imperium does corpse starch for Necromunda regularly and bad guard regiments. The Tau do it everywhere and literally recycle the dead to the Kroot. The Imperium mostly clones servators (but reserves it as a punishment) because AI can get hacked by Chaos, Tau brainrape people because they point out the Tau are stupid. Big E was an internet athiest because he knew that Gods in 40k are bound by their believers, the Tau are unironic fedora tippers. The Imperium has crushing disparity, the Tau give out Nintendo switches for cutting your balls off and has Canadian Healthcare.

Now that basically all of the Eldar models have flat shoulder joints you can just stick everyone's arms everywhere, it's great. Stick corsair swords and pistols on swooping hawks and scourges to make the flying guys, give incubi new heads, fusions guns, and make them into fire dragons. The vagaries of corsairs is just the perfect excuse to do whatever you want with the range, and the new build-a-commander rules are even better because for eldar they're perfect. Want a flying outcast with a missile launcher? Want a teleporting guy with a brace of pistols and a shuriken cannon that's also a glaive? No problem. Opponent won't let you use a custom commander? Okay, you're autarch is now Yriel because he gets a helmet that turns him into a generic model without even cutting off anything.

Fully agreed, the crusade being 200 years makes fuck all sense for the scale and stability of the imperium that resulted. How did they solidify such an enduring identity in a bunch of completely disparate cultures that have been diverging for literally 10k years? Not to mention it's just logistically impossible. That means each legion was, very roughly, conquering a planet every other day for 200 years straight. Having the crusade being a major era of the imperium rather than just it's very brief initial start up phase also would make the way every fucking thing has to be rooted in the heresy with the sole exception of the sisters of battle a lot less trite and retarded.

You're pretty much right, you get units from one book, although a lot of books have specific exceptions that say "by the way, you can specifically use a unit from another book"

Imperial agents are a good example, you're not REALLY meant to play them as their own army, they have a rule that lets you add one or two units from their book to another imperium book, so you can add some death watch models to your imperial guard or whatever.

Humans have the framework of humans. Do not blame the alien for being inhuman – they cannot help their nature. But kill traitors before outsiders. They chose being wrong.
I would post the picture of a human helper hung from a lamppost with "Betrayed his race" around his neck discovered by a Tau fire warrior, but I just can't find it in Google, so I leave the pertinent codex quote.
>The alien and the renegade are the vagaries of the galaxy incarnate. What can we truly know or would want to of their ways or motivations? They are to us as the rabid wolf at the closed door that knows not even its own mind. Be that door. Be the simplicity of the steadfast and unchanging: the barrier between what is known and the unknowable. Let the Imperium of Man realise its manifold destiny within while without its mindless foes dash themselves against the constancy of our adamantium. In such uniformity of practice and purpose lies the perpetuity of mankind.

Once you start taking it too seriously it breaks of course, but you also get to enjoy other implications.
10,000 years is not that much time celestially-speaking, I've always liked the thought of a audio-archeologist that flies around the Imperium trying to capture ancient vox or radio broadcasts from old battlefields or historical events.
Eldar craftworlds aren't moving anywhere close to light speed because of relativity, so even after 10,000 years they've barely moved anywhere from their original starting point relative. At whatever regular speeds they'd be traveling at a craftworld would probably have only passed through a couple of star systems so they'd be able to calculate their original worlds pretty easily after that.

The Etherals are annoy me because either they mind control via farts or are psykers. If it's farts than the Tyranids shouldn't even need genestealers, just launch a spore full of feel good farts. If they are psykers and the Tau assimilate psykers, they should be getting chowed by chaos gods. I don't hate the Tau for not being grim dark enough. I hate how little they interact with the setting or bend the rules of the setting. They exist so redditors/ Star Trek fans who hate DS9 can have a good guy faction.

Big E at least is literallly just a psyker who likely tried the puppet master shit and it's alluded that the Imperium is him trying to keep humanity from getting Chaos'd before humans can fully develop into psychics.

Flipping through imperial agents it really felt like a mish mash of unrelated units. Makes sense that its like "add some of these guys to your REAL army".

My friend had a tyrannid army and has been in the hobby way longer. My stupid larp idea was to get some guardsmen and have a deathwatch squad as support. Its a fun little story in my head about the guard getting overrun by xenos and the deathwatch trying to contain them.

world spirits are warp powers

"He was not free, and would never be. He doubted anyone or anything truly was. He rejected power, and yet it was thrust on him. His dream bothered him. He must know more, and that meant going deeper. A mortal mind could not look upon the warp as it truly was. An order must be imposed, a cypher through which the mysteries of eternity might be safely interpreted. Primus drew in his consciousness, preventing it from dilution in the raw soul stuff of the immaterium. From his own memories he forged a sub-realm he could traverse, a place of personal truths. The methods were common to psykers. Throughout history those with a connection to the otherworld sought to impose humanity upon it, lest it strip their humanity from them. The symbolism varied. The Fenrisians had their Underverse, the Blood Angels their angelic visions, the Navigators their zodiacal allegories, the astropaths their verses and obfuscatory imagery, but the goal was the same: the protection of the soul against the inimical gods of the warp, and the ability to look upon that which could not be looked upon."-Genefather

Mechanicums seems to sneak a lot of wins, actually. The Prefectia post-Damocles crusade had everyone lose: AunVa actually died, space marines walked away empty-handed and depleted, the IG lost millions, as well as superheavies, and the ground commander was abandoned, and probably died in the fire. Because they Externinatus'd the planet they were fighting for. Knights also were forced to retreat, and Farsight had to flee.
Meanwhile, the Mechanicus stole the Air Scrubbers and xenotech they coveted. It was they who supplied the torpedo that set the entire nebula ablaze. And in doing so, they successfully ended the Third Sphere Expansion.
This in turn forced the Tau to rush their ftl drive project, which sent the fleet into the warp, where 3/4ths of them died. On live tv.
Most importantly, this taught the 4th Sphere to be racist, causing the first actual threat of disunity among the Tau in millennia.

All of this because AdMech wanted some Tau AC units.

I'm in the same boat, I got into a beginners casual tournament after collecting a bunch of models.

500 points isn't necessarily bad for starting from the bottom in learning the game, but I wouldn't play anything below 1000 points. A 500 point cap restricts you too much in what you can play around with in a single game, at that point, you might as well play kill team since it would be more engaging at that small scale, in my humble opinion.

The rules are technically just for deathwatch, but no one is gonna shit themselves if your space marine allies are painted green or whatever instead of black. People don't care as long they can tell what things are supposed to be reasonably easily.

I'd recommend picking whatever you think you'll have most fun painting. Unfortunately, while you technically can play imperial agents as their own army, it's utter dog shit. And not "oh it's weak, but you can still have fun!" kind of way, in a totally non functional, not really even playing the game kind of way, and really limited in what models you actually can use. Hopefully that will change some day, since that's my favorite kind of imperial army in theory.

If you want to soup (mixing factions) and collect lots of imperial units, pick your favorite imperial faction as a base, and just collect lots of imperial agents on top of that. You can also add a knight or several little knights to any imperial army if you like those.

In eisenhorn, there are several FTL capable ships with crews in the single digits, and while not outright stated, the fluff in blackstone fortresses references a lot of small ships, one of which was commandeered by two guys (it just doesn't explicitly mention them performing warp jumps) so you're free to accept that headcanon.

Putting together a full army is a fun hobby itself, not necessarily something you just have to get out of the way before you can start. Lots of people barely play, just paint and collect.

But yeah 1k is still quite swingy and the game is balanced for 2k. It's normal to take over a year to get enough points painted for a game. You can use tabletop simulator to try the rules in the mean time if you want

It's really not that daunting, some form of battleforce box (or splitting a starter with someone) gets you a good core lot of dudes and then you can easily embellish with units you like from there, and will hit 1k points quickly enough and then even 1.5 and be well on your way to 2k.

That makes sense. I think a big draw for a lot of people is how creative and freeform you can get with how you decorate the minis. So as long as im not trying to disguise them as a different unit it should not be a problem.

Thanks for the heads up about how they play. What makes them so bad if you dont mind explaining? Is it kind of what i said earlier about how they seem like all the miscellaneous guys thrown under one umbrella?

It seems like the best thing for me right now is to just pick a normal army and then start adding in random guys as i get the chance.
Imperial guard or a random space marine chapter. At least they will always be flexible enough and theyre both cool.
I kind of like mechanicus as well but they go a bit too far away from regular guy/super regular guy to be my main set.

Because they want to eat their Marineslop cake and have it too. They are trying to reconcile the Imperium being the described as the "cruelest and bloodiest regime imaginable" with the fact Space Marines are almost universally portrayed as heroic protagonists beating up bad guys.

Not that anon, but rules-wise Agents are seen as bad because their army rules are just guidelines on how to soup units together rather than just enhancing their gameplay. Sisters and Space Marines being souped together is neat, but Sisters without Miracle Dice and Space Marines without Oath of Moment aren’t nearly as powerful as they are in their home factions, but you’re largely paying the same price for those units points-wise.

I think a lot of people either forget (or likely just weren't there) that older editions had player placed terrain as the standard and a good chunk of the time the game was decided by who won the roll off for deployment and got to pick the better half of the table. Today's setups aren't perfect by any stretch but they're much more fair in the sense that you won't just get shot off the board turn one by the local taufag who intentionally put nothing in the middle of the table.
>>
How would they go about adding a Vampire Xenos faction?
>>
>>97648606
Sisters of battle, relying on arco flags (servitor kitbashes), santifiers (weird little characters), rhino chassis tanks that could belong to any imperial faction, battle suits and pentient engines for funny robots, and the sword and mace sisters could be crusaders. Add on a knight and maximize your agents, and you can probably get away with a miminal amount of actual sisters.

Genuinely curious... Are GW stores even profitable? I always see them in ritzy places where I assume the rent would be astronomical. Do they actually help push people into the hobby and all that?

Some are. A lot are not. It's kind of sad that in the early 00s, the GW stores in my town all had really prominent positions in big malls, then in the late 00s they all got pushed out and shoved into out of the way tiny little hole in the walls. There was one smack bang in the middle of the CBD which was huge, had really awesome atmospheric lighting and room for multiple big tables. My friend and I would go there when I was in high school. Then at some point it got moved to this tiny little place you had to duck through like 3 different tiny little alleyways to find and it didn't even have room for 1 game table.

The closest GW store to me now is literally attached to a petrol station.

Or maybe... Just build up all those shared themes within the Dark Eldar range instead and stop leaving them as the neglected step-child faction?
You can have more Covens stuff or expand our the Mandrakes stuff. You could give them a larger roster of Xenos mercs and irregulars and arena beasts again.
Maybe they can even have a rebel sorcerer character who embraces their psychic heritage in opposition to the rest of their society like a Farsight or a Trazyn.

it literally means one side isn't REALLY evil, making it comparatively the good guys.
Or the lesser evil, if you will, to deny the idea that lesser evils are the good guys of any situation is to deny that there are any good guys in any situation, hypothetical or real, because absolute good can only be found in something that would end up being defined as god itself.

How did you get these models, in a store? Did you tell any employee you were new and they didn't bother to give you advice? Or did you just grab some kits without talking to anyone, without doing research and just start slapping them together?

A mold is two pieces pressed together, however no matter how firmly clasped when the plastic or metal is poured in excess material will squeeze out along the join and form a line. When you clip pieces off a sprue there will also be some remaining excess material from that connection too. These are rather unsightly and paint should not be thick enough to hide them, so you need to carefully take a hobby knife and/or file to them to shave away. There are plenty of guides online to show you how to do things, I'd recommend doing some research before you move forward.

Yes, and one of the two is the lesser evil, and the relative good guy of the situation

or, again, are you also going to argue that chaos, imoerium and tau are all equally evil? or that evil is unquantifiable? making gondor as evil as evil as mordor for not having free healthcare or upward mobility for its peasants?

you would be taking all of these objectively nonsensical stances just because you think that saying the imperials fighting literal demons from hell are the good guys there, would make you some kind of real life nazi supporter here?

if the world hasn't gone mad, then sure as hell you did
>>
>>97650256
You could, but Grey Knights are blinged up to the max and carry special weapons (in the case of the dreadnought), so I don't see them not making bespoke kits. We currently have three separate dradnoughts for what are essentially just weapon loadouts.

They shouldn't touch Kabalites for now, since they are more than fine. Kabalites in particular don't need update, there is 0% chance than new kit will be better than current one and there is nothing about current kit that needs updating honestly.

They could touch Wych Cults, but they won't do them justice anyway lol. They are too prude to make Wyches into what people expect from them, so I'd rather them not try at all or at the very least leave them for last

Covens should be the first to get update, with new Wracks since those are ass as well as new Groteqsues who are gone, Pain Engines and some new goodies

Then expand their mercs, who were mostly resin and are now gone. Make this a joint release with Tau of sorts. Aside from returning Sslyth, Medusae and such, make new ayys like Tarellian squad which could also be used by Tau. Let Deldar use Kroot too.

Mandrakes should get Corsair style expansion eventually, with another troop option and generic HQs in an addition to Kheradruakh thus making them 4th Deldar subfaction essentially.

Here's what happened with krorks
>necrons 3rd ed introduces the war in heaven and the old ones as making multiple races to fight in it, including precursors to modern races, the name krork is used
>some novel involving trazyn's museum has a scene where the protagonists see one of the exhibits of the museum, a krork, described as a 12 meters tall ork in a form of armour more advanced than imperial power armour
>fanartists take the above and decide that if krorks were more advanced then they must have also been more human/eldar-like in proportions and behaviour
there's also ghazkhull having a prophetic dream or two about how the orks went from giants ruled by brainboyz to the orks they are today, and about the future where he leads orks to grow back to their literal and metaphorical past heights, and during the beast series we see orks that were definitely taller than modern orks, with a boss that was at least 10 meters tall, and also more advanced and more intelligent, to the point they had a diplomat sent to the imperial palace to offer the humans a chance to surrender, speaking in perfect low gothic

What if they were to actually do something creative and interesting, but also technically not canon and make a series that is portrayed as being an in-universe Eldar book/play/movie that is heavily stylised and kinda interpretive and obviously somewhat fictional?

>portrayed as being an in-universe story
that would be cool, in theory, but in practice the average 40k fan is completely unable to grasp unreliability: give them one story and one image, no matter how dubious or situational, and they will parade it around as the one factual depiction and be aggressive towards any other that could come later, officially or not.
Even now you can approach the krorks in god knows how many different ways, and yet almost all fanartists end up treating the first fanart of krorks as gospel and just copy or retread that with little to no thought.
ideally you'd need a minimum of 2 conflicting depictions of the war in heaven for the unreliability to be considered, and even then they must be equal depictions. make one a stylised or shorter version and people will ignore it for the longer story and more realistic-looking artwork.
and if you make the two depictions not contradictory enough, then people would immediately jump to hypotheses to conciliate the two as coexisting, treating both as unquestionable facts instead of taking any part as unreliable.


the only two real practical options are to completely ignore the war in heaven and never touch it with any sort of depth, or to actually flesh it out with as much care as you would a whole new setting, doing a competent job at designing the factions of that era in a way that makes them unique AND not undermine the 40k version.

because taking orks and saying
>actually 40k orks are shit, past orks were better at everything with no downside or nuance and what you think makes orks orky in 40k was considered gay and lame by krorks at their peak, and all 40k orks look up to their superior ancestors

No, you forget that 40k is first and foremost something that tries to sell itself to you in a way that makes you like and appreciate what it's got.

There are cases where it makes sense for a fall from glory to have taken place, it gives what remains a tragic identity and allows them to prove themselves better in different ways, such as in spirit, sacrifice, ingenuity or sheer madness and grit.

Nobody laments that humanity has fallen from his golden technological and cultural age, because if it was in its golden age then we wouldn't have the cool religious aesthetics of the tech priests for example.
There must a tradeoff of some kind, you cannot tell me that krorks were orks but better at everything, why would I care about orks then? they would feel small and not in a good way.


What if instead the krorks were physically and mentally superior but there was an emphasis about them being kept controlled, caged, enslaved and generally unhappy?
that would explain their rebellion to the brainboys, would give modern orks a dignifying element as they are, because the physical and mental deterioration would be something they chose to endure for the sake of being finally free to be the bosses of their own fates and to be as orky as they actually wanted to be.
It would make looking back at the glories of old not in terms of rejecting everything that they currently are, but in terms of trying to have the best of both worlds: the power of old and the freedom they have now

now you have a reason to like and be invested also in the current "inferior" version and its own unfinished story

I'll be finishing my Hellblasters for the Hellblaster collage, don't you worry little mcpeep.
>>
>he still can't falseflag properly
it's getting really sad

>>97650633
I prefer my imaginary waifus to have picked me over males of their own species, basically as if they were xenos asians. It adds to the fantasy.
>>
>>97650645
anons already said they won't participate if you're allowed lmao

Those were just a couple nomodels bullies trying to sway the community organizer.

>Who have done nothing
And they are mentioned in every notable event. In comparsion, entire eldar and deldar factions did completely nothing since 2017, except Laevenir, mossading necrons and jobbing to Huron
>Who die by the hundreds and have done nothing to over all lengthen Imperium's lifespan
Space marines created and supposed to die in wars, and anyway they die only in hundreds, while the others dies in thousands or billions against them
>warhammer crime series
Its closed and dead, like warhammer horrors. And even in these novels most imperial worlds were shown not as entirely terrible, like in Oubliette for example.
And i dont even talk about the fact than humans are written as heroes in most blslop. This is what gives rise to "achually imperium are good guys"
>servitor sex slaves
Oh, sex slaves. Grim. Dark even. Are you puritard american?
>>
I wish I his general talked about Necrons half as much as they do about Eldar. Love them or hate them, at least the get lots of discussion here
>>
>>97650600
There's a worrying trend of people making their hobbies some part of their identity, or lacking an identity to the point of having their hobbies dictate one for them.

In warhammer's case it translates to older people who once had harmless banter between factions being replaced by newer people who genuinely take things personally and in turn feel some self-validating visceral need to present themselves as superior by being viciously demeaning to the other sides.

This happens way more in warhammer because imperial factions are more popular than other factions and because their identity is a xenophobic power fantasy, and it happens in particular towards elves because in fiction at large it's easy to project negative characteristics onto something that's presented as superior, like an elf compared to a human, and bringing said superior beings down satisfies the need of justice for the underdog.

I don't think there's quite the same discordant mix of superhuman power fantasy and underdog revenge fantasy in any fanbase other than marine fans.

>>97650670
I don't bother with that shit, I don't like space wolves as a faction, but that's neither reason to be inflammatory or reason to be inflamed.
>>
>>97650700
It doesn't but I will defend my men from unfounded and derisive accusations any chance I can.
>>
>>97650704
Wait...does lamenter anon do with the collage and the fridge? I fucking new our queen was still here. She is a back stabbing cuntess tho, but I forgive her.
>>
>>97650709
does that mean you don't speak unfounded and derisive accusations to other factions? or does that mean you are a hypocrite?
>>
>>97650711
im not lamenter anon.....
>>
>>97647948
fake and gay
>>
>>97650717
I'm a hypocrite but mine is retaliatory in nature, for some reason Eldar have it out for Marines in a big way which come to think of it is probably due to the over sexualization of their faction by marines as a whole but you should come to expect that if you play sexy female elves.
>>
>>97650724
>in a big way
for bigly?
>>
>>97650699
Just so you know, the faggot who let you on that "hellblaster collage" isn't collage anon. You're gonna be on a collage with one(1) submission. You.
>>
>>97650724
>I'm a hypocrite but mine is retaliatory in nature
so you are a hypocrite and a liar, at least you admi half of that
>>
>>97650724
>I'm persecuted by elves I swear!
Not helping your mental case.
>>
>>97650733
just a liar, he's pissed off that SM players have defended eldar in the past.
very feminine attempts at false flagging. T levels must be dropping.
>>
>>97650719
Sorry for the misidentification m'lady, ty for showing me a kindness.
>>
>>97650730
Why do you have to belittle and deride anything I do or am involved with, worst part is we would probably be great friends irl.
>>
>>97650753
Holy cringe
>>
>>97650759
LOL judging by your behavior here you must be an incredibly obnoxious fuck irl
>>
>>97650753
*dies of cringe*

>>97650645
He said you’re only going to be allowed if you post progress pics with timestamps, which you won’t.

I was being cheeky relax you stupid retards.
>>
>>97650759
Disgusting
>>
>>97650663
Necrons are fairly beloved here but we do have some squabbles about who won the War in heaven.
>>
>>97650773
You were being a cringe faggot like always. You won’t get your hellblasters done by posting here all day, you grimy pig.
>>
>>97650724
>shits on eldar every chance he gets
>admits they're sexy females
this guy is 100% a virgin incel that thinks women should have sex with him for being nice
>>
>>97650792
Ok I'm feeling really good this morning so lets lay off the vicious insults and move on to a different topic of conversation.
>>
>>97650670
Space Wolves are gay furries, there's nothing to deny.
>>
>>97650797
>shits on eldar every chance he gets
This is a reactionary event on my part tho, they can't stand being sexually objectified by Marinoids so they lash out sporadically.
>>
>>97650765
if you happen to not know who this lolcow is, behavior is summed up with
>>97647203

also he's into human waste and larping as a nazi
ask him WHY he is nogames. hint: no LGS allows it
>>
>>97650799
You’re a lazy bum who pays someone to (sloppily) paint your models.
>>
>>97650724
>probably due to the over sexualization of their faction by marines as a whole
You mean marine players right? Surely you don't self-identity as a marine?
>>
>>97650834
You already know I paint my models so why repeat this lie ad-nauseam?
>>97650836
No obviously but lets stop singling me out and discuss something else, no one likes this drama.
>>
>>97650836
He literally does. It’s why he melts down about black space wolves lmao
>>
>>97650836
it's decalfag, the projection doesn't seem to stop
>>
>>97650858
You have literally never posted progress pictures or a handwritten timestamp. You pay to have your models painted by someone as retarded and incompetent as you.
>>
>>97650871
I was going to pose some more progress pics I have but the image limit has been reached, can we get a new thread going? Also when I did post my grey models I was mocked for posting grey matter so fuck u.
>>
So uh was the February collage posted already?

Did you see the cool new medium Knight we're getting, pretty badass.
>>
>>97650553
it was pretty good for the very slim margin in between the fecalmutant arrived and we started community building

Also this captcha is bullshit, the other one was so good and now I have to do 5 puzzles every post just because I don't do crypto shit
>>
>>97650955
you have shit captchas because you suck at crypto? the fuck are you talking about
>>
>>97650954
its just a lesser cerastus or whatever the 30k knight is called with the actual big dick spear.

and you're here trying to ruin my reputation again while I am in another thread unable to defend myself.
>>
>>97650966
you can skip captchas if you get a 4chan pass, which can only be purchased with crypto
>>
>>97648789
true but not during a war like Tsarist Russia did 25~ years earlier, which is the point the passage is making.
>>
>>97648799
Thematically its best if you only include a single unit from either. This is in fact how they used to be played.
