>>97806806what AoS army is that?
Why do so many people here have such a hateboner towards tactical squads?
>>97806806>tqI won't buy them but it would be fun playing against them
>>97806806>TQMaybe. I dunno if I'll like them when they get released but I have loads of sylvaneth bits to spice them up at least if they have a good skeleton. I just hope I can take wraith stuff with them because those are the only two eldar stuff I like.
>>97806806The cooler Eldar.
>>97806825War gear choices scare the timmy.
>>978068251. Contrarianism, the most common answer for any position on this site. 2. A lot of people just don't like heroic scale.
>>97806806170%!!!!GIVE ME EXODITES GAMES JEWORKSHOP!!!
>>97806806>TQDepends what their ally rules look like. Will they be able to run Harlequins and Corsairs with travelling players?
>>97806842>A lot of people just don't like heroic scale.Are you fucking retarded.
>>97806842Wonder if the new intercessor squad will contain any special/heavy weapons or if it is just cosmetic update
>>97806842Primaris are also heroic scaled. And we're talking about the unit here, not the models.
>>97806847what did he mean by this?
Trying to get the size on this ASL right so i threw in a primaris librarian and it just looks like the two are having an argument
>>97806825They're just trolling/jealous. It's a way for them to fight against the fact that they actually have shit taste.>>97806842>big marine and small marine fighting togetherAs it should be
>>97806806>>Thread Question>Will you swallow the Space Woof Elf pill when Exodites release?I see GW warming its alien muscles
>>97806858>Steady yourself, guadsman, your time is coming at hand soon enough>LASST MICH AN DIESEN VERDAMMTEN GRÜNEN ABSCHAUMHUNDEN LOS!
>>97806851They’re truescaled, that’s what the community has been saying forever and what we were sold on
>>97806870ship em
>>97806851nta but Blanche himself commented that primaris were influenced by truescalers.Nu40k has restrained proportions.
>>97806873>truescaledoverscaled
>>97806825why does anyone have such a boner for them?
>>97806890Nostalgia
Imperial Fists primaris intercessors
>>97806825misplaced hatred for marinefags.
>>97806890Nobody does, people only buy primaris, and if primaris tacticals were a thing then people would keep on ignoring them in favour of some other better performing unit because this game always favours min-maxing and jacks of all trades, master of none, are left to jack off in a corner.
drukhari could get an update bigger than even a Space Marine typical start of edition update>A brand new Boat chassis>A new superheavy!>A redone Epic hero character>A squad of very large ogre-sized infantry >Custom snake-men>A courtesean>An alien squidman thing>Giant xenos monster >Two different dog sculpts at a minimum>Three different bird swarm sculpts at a minimum>Flying Hellion characterand you just MATCH where the army was in 9th, manThis isn't even adding new stuff, it's not refreshing any of the 5th ed stuff, it's just replacing stuff lost between 9th and 10th and it's still way larger than a normal army releasethey can't fix this army, manYou'd need like 3 massive release waves before you even start seeing anything new
>>97806906What a gross waac-fag way of thinking
Test model WIP for my Votann. Trying contrast paints for the armor. Does this orange look good? The tutorial im watching skipped the shade.
>>97806890>>97806891>>97806906Looking at these I can see the amount of different kits used. The bits chosen to make these unique characters.You don't get it, you never will.
KINDKOLOSSALKUSTODESKNOCKERS
>>97806921That's how marinefags normally act, don't blame me for telling you the truth.
highest tier is normalfag armiesbottom tier is dead armies walking
>the manchild millennials are jerking off about their 00's toys being the best ever again
>>97806942The normalfag armies are at least having fun. Unlike the rest.
>>97806952It's actually fakegrogs having nostalgic feelings for toys the never had and will never consider getting.
Gay but true: I hope the Centaur can replace my Chimera because I think the chimera's a little bit gay looking. I also hope the Hippogriff can fill in the sniper tank role my leman russ vanquisher takes up. Not because I think the vanquisher is gay, but because then I can run it as a closer ranged tank to tag alongside a LRC
>>97806806>TQnah, I'm TS all the way

>>97806977You either don't know what those words mean or are replying to the wrong posts.
Cool
>>97806964On one hand too much shit uses the Chimera chassis, like the Rhino. But, a whole bunch of half track variants with mortars, big guns, AA, etc would be cool too.
>>97806983prove it
>>97806996I too saw the hambeast retweet this
>>97806970
>>97806989Or: you're full of shit.
>>97806996What is this image trying to convey?
>>97806942Space marines do not have normals. >>97806970I need to anally cream pie someone. This will be added to the bucket list.
>>97807004No, it's one of the other two.
>>97806996Weak
>>97806997Imagine tokyo drifting your shitwagon to point a fuckhuge canon at a daemon and getting launched from the recoil into your own battleline
>>97806923I assume you use orange contrast over white? Try yellow or pink.
>>97807008Tow hook
>>97807008Nigga you are not this retarded
>>97806890This might be a grog opinion but armies in 40k feel more like actual armies when the foundational compositions are>dudes>dudes, but with heavy support weapons>dudes, but with extra movement & close-range/assault weapons>dudes, but veterans>commander dude & retinueThe armies have a unified composition where you can easily tell every unit is built from the same foundational dudes who specialize. Modern 40k has a little too much vidyagaemification where each unit -needs- to be extremely distinct from each other in appearance to the point of being a different kind of dude entirely. The downside is that if all armies follow this kind of structure, they tend to be samey.
>>97807001?
>>97807021He's a marinefag, he is that retarded.
>>97806804>Why do even people like intercessors over tacticals? Tacticals just seem more interesting.The honest answer is that Intercessors look better.>>97806807>The new blood would have used tacticals if that's what GW showed themMaybe so, but that's not the reality we live in. In our world Intercessors have been the marine mainstay for nearly a decade, and that same time period has seen 40k's fanbase swell to unprecedented heights.>>97806821>Nta but even if the newer look of space marines was more iconic, nobody remembers or cares about the unit or word "intercessors".I don't see how you can say that. I don't think the word "tactical" was any more totemic in any case. But the point is when you say the word "space marine" to a modern warhammer fan, the first thing they will imagine is most likely to be an (probably Ultramarine) Intercessor.
>>97807034I am a marine fag too and I got it. I also am a guardfag, so maybe that's the issue.
>>97806939God, I hope that whining about female Custodes wasn't just online weirdos. I need people to buy the new kits and sell the female heads in disgust so I can buy them for cheap
>>97807030I can see the argument that the old Force Org Chart was too restrictive, but when people are putting down like 6 HQs in 2,000 points, I think clearly there is an issue
>>97806906And yet tacticals were the best selling kit in all of 40k for decades. So clearly people were taking them.
>>97807041I'm more disgusted by the new weirdly lanky proportions of them. At least the contemptor dreadnaought looks cool so i'll be picking up one once it is available on its own
>>97806915GW allocates resources to "Eldar" as a superfaction separately from other Xenos. Now that the Eldar range is mostly updated they are going to start giving Craftworlds the pity hero treatment for a while and Dark Eldar will get the 4-7 kits updated each edition for the next three editions. Just like it took aspects 30 years to get a modern update, it will take some of DE range 30 years to get a modern update.
>>97807030This. Feels like an army. Nuff said>>97807036>I like it better>It's what's normal now>Let me tell you about what I don't know aboutYes tactical was iconic (what the fuck do you mean by "totemic", nigga? What kind of r*ddit take is this?).Who the fuck says "totemic"? Especially for this? I don't like judging the form but when the content isn't better I start making connections.
>>97807051>I'm more disgusted by the new weirdly lanky proportions of them.That's what you get when they try to make them unisex.
>>97806942Agents are a soup team so dont count. DW... should have stayed part of agents IMO. Knights will never go away as theyre neat soup choices as well.Cults and mechanicus need some big discount boxes and support, theyre hard to play AND expensive, so who bothers. Weird to see GK with thm though, I'd think they were higher.
>>97807060Yeah. I need to pick up some of the old Custodes kits before they go OOP
>>97807058>Who the fuck says "totemic"? Especially for this?Me, because you're treating the term like some kind of totem.
>>97806996>inb4 there's no rules for a centaur to tow ordnance batteries
>>97807058>enraged by totemic Bait or retarded
>>97807049>wereand suddenly weren't the moment slightly taller marines came out, which speaks plenty about the quality of the kit and what drives marinefags' purchases
>>97807030They still are for pretty much every army. Except for space marines because a subsection of retards now pretends that having a squad of dudes and 1 or 2 in the squad getting a different weapon is a crime punishible by death despite most troops in the game working like that.
>>97807067noo, buy the new ones, sell me the female heads.
>>97806942GW can't fix AdMech or Genestealer Cults without totally changing their identity or giving them massive discounts. They're just too expensive, too many models to paint, and too complicated to play. Surprising that Leagues of Votann is already so high up there.
Arm swapped a fusion gun on this corsair voidreaver to proxy as a 2nd blaster
>>97807068>>97807071That is not what totem means. At all. A totem is a representation, an object/concept linked to an identity.This is such a retarded use of a word that I'm genuinely pissed.
>>97807074Can you retard please understand when we're talking about units and not about the models?
>>97807081I might get some of the plastic Venatari but at least the preview pics don't show any obviously female heads
>>97807082>GW can't fix AdMechThey can. By porting over all the 30k units.
>>97807086You're asking too much of them, I think they're stunted or so far up their own asses the fumes got to them.
As a guardfag, here's my 11e wishlist>Catachan refresh>Generic Death Rider leader>Drier on foot or similar on foot epic kriegsman>Steel Legion I guess>Commissar allowed to lead ogryns always>Guard blob detachment>Leman Russ kit update>Krieg Dorn upgrade sprue
First time building a vehicle, god damn how do people build those titans? I was struggling with this sentinel and I'm not even finished.How's it look so far? I was a little scared when I couldn't get the legs to stay flat even together without gluing them down
>>97807086Tell the anon I was replying to >>97807049
>>97807084No, a totem is just something that holds special significance.
>>97807098I don't mean to be rude but a 4th grader could complete larger Knights in a few hours.
>>97807095Bro you just got your big wave, you're getting a Catachan refresh at best
>>97807095>Krieg Dorn upgrade sprueKrieg vehicle upgrade sprue would be cool to have
>>97807091i don't like what they've done with the helmets, the old ones were betterthat said i think everything else is better on the new ones
>>97807098If it helps I'd say get some blue tack, it's a good way to stick pieces without gluing so you can figure out how you wanna do things and how do they fit.
>>97807082I think people would welcome AdMech's identity on the table being completely changed. They shouldn't be weird guard. They should be much more elite than they are
>>97807095I thought the point of krieg was that they don't use tanks
>>97807095>>Guard blob detachmentThat's recon. Also you don't want to actually want to buy, assemble, paint, transport, and play that army.
>>97807105No it's not "just" that, in fact it has nothing to do with "special" significance. For instance: Totem animal: an animal that represents you, that you are linked with. A tribal totem: a physical object that represents gods/spirits/etc.Waste of fucking time you are, no more replies.
>>97807113Steel Legion was also confirmed
>>97807091the new Sentinel Guard and Custodian Guard kits have 12 unlhelmeted heads each. I don't suspect them to be 50/50 split (although that would be ideal) but I'd bet each kit will have like four female heads. So If the venatari kit has no female heads, that would be weird.
>>97807132>the one sentinel so the opponent can't redraw bring it downthat's so fucking cheeky lmao
>>97807125? They even had Panzer Divisions back in the day.
>>97807132>3x 20 cadians>4x 10 DKoKPlease have mercy, that's like three platoons
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>97807139The basic custodians have 3 female bodies, 3 male bodies and 6 heads of each.
>>97807125Did they use tanks in WW1?Also krieg is associated with quite a few tanks. Macharius, Siegfried, Ragnarok, etc.
>>97806806>Go to a maiden world>See thisWhat do
>>97807125Who the hell told you that? They use tanks, arty, cavalry, tranches, the works. They're just more suicidal.>>97807132I'm talking lasgun spam, 400 fucking dice rolled, magdump angron to death with 138 cadians type shit.
>>97807111I guess I'm still at a 1st grade level lmao>>97807117I'll pick some up
>>97807146more like fart smelldar
Wasn't happy with the energy blades on my crons, I liked the tessarect glow paint but the end result was too flat. Tried something new with it by updating the blades on some old models and I'm happier with how it's worked out, even if the highlights are a little chunky.
>>97807153>Did they use tanks in WW1?...that's when tanks were first invented.
>>97807144YIKES.... that's a little problematic...
>>97807161That's your answer.
>>97807095Catachan got pushed back to make space for Steel Legion.
>>97807155Building and painting more than 2 groups of cadian shock troopers, in addition to a command squad, kasrkin, or other infantry units seems like it'd be extremely painful
>>97807153>Did they use tanks in WW1?Anon???
>>97807144Something about why they use cavalry in the first place, because they don't use tanks, for reasons

How do you cope that you'll never be good at painting
>>97807134>No it's not "just"Yeah, it is. Sorry if it gets your teepee in a tizzy, but that's the way it is used.
The lion
>>97807177It's like 3-4 colors per model, it's not hard just time consuming and if you have a lot of time and a good podcast or ebook to listen to it isn't too exhausting
>>97807194On one hand it's sexualized 40k which blows, on the other it's hand drawn and thus I kneel before my better autists.
>>97807200drop the loser mentality for a start
>>97807148The bodies are unisex.
>>97807200>Handsome SquidwardiusBy either painting less minis but spending more time on them, or through slaving away and paying someone better to do it for me
>>97807212boobplates + two different body types
where can I get elysian drop troops?
>>97807082you could fix 90% of admechs problems by executing their current rules writer and hiring someone with a functioning frontal lobe the other 10% is a cult mech release wave so there's more options to get some big point intensive models in lists
>>97807144They've had tanks and cavalry since day 1. A White Dwarf from last year said Krieg Siege regiments have tanks and cavalry in different companies of a battalion.
>>97807200If it's better than you were doing last year, it's good. Don't compare yourself to the internet.
>>97807204She's got huge legion.

I'd like a Guard novel where dudes from wildly different regiments are forced to work together and they learn to appreciate each other's eccentricities. The Cadian is the only casualty because he acts like a dick the entire time.
>>97807231whats the pic from? and any recommended chang/ivan? found pic related earlier as my usual supplier doesnt do elysians beyond the basic squad and sentinel
Give Bear Marines. Specifically Pandas.
>>97807200Faces are hard, you just have to keep practising.There will be someone better than you and that's okay. You just have to keep improving even if it's slow
>>97807206Am I going overboard then? I use>Green for armor and gun>zandri dust for fatigues (but I'm just gonna prime them that color from now on to make it fast)>light tan for stuff like sleeping bags/tarps>black for boots>Leadbelcher for skull/grenades/girder stubs>leather for belt and backpack>brown for highlights on leather, girders, and gun stock>metallic color for lasgun barrel/magazine, or canteens>cadian fleshtone>nuln oil for armor/gun shade>seraphim sepia for fatigues shade>flesh shade for flesh
Post your minis faces, good or bad.
>>97806970Had me in the first half
>>97807240How would you make a chapter bear themed beyond chapter symbolism? Do they hibernate, are they nomadic scavengers, do they have caves to hide their cubs (their scouts)
>>97807239>pic?Red Pilgrim Miniatures>chang/ivanI don't use recasters, can't help
>>97807255Make the word "bear" show up 112 times on their wahapedia page.
>>97807255>White Scars Successor>Heavy mech. infantry so vehicles/Termies/Gravis focused
>>97807250not him but there's no "overboard", but using all that one guardsman will of course make it take longer. Doesn't mean it's wrong to do, though. If that's how you do it that's how you do it.
>>97807250No you're good, I was just ballparking minimum number of paints for a quickly painted blob of guardsmen. You're putting actual effort
>>97807255Only use bearded heads?
>>97807095Fellow Guardfag here, I will weigh in on your choices>Catachan refreshYeah this much is obvious, I can see us getting it either next year or 2028. >Generic Death Rider leaderNah fuck that. Death Riders are okay as is without a character>Drier on foot or similar on foot epic kriegsmanThis however yes please. Bring back my Death Korps Marshal datasheet James>Steel Legion I guessWe're getting it, when we do is the real question>Commissar allowed to lead ogryns alwaysNah it's flavorful that Ogryn don't take orders. >Guard blob detachmentLike the other anon said that's Recon Element>Leman Russ kit updateJust get the Horus Heresy Leman Russ>Krieg Dorn upgrade sprueJust make a general Krieg upgrade sprue like the Cadian one, I'm surprised we still haven't gotten one yet considering the Cadian one released a few months after their refresh.
>>97807255They steal picnic baskets from hapless Eldar rangers.
>>97807255SW successor, lean into barbarian/eskimo/alaskan tribes. Tell everybody you're on your way, new friends and new places to see.
>>97807063>DW... should have stayed part of agents IMOThe only reason DW is unpopular is because they are the most expensive army BY far to make an actual army for. And they have a very high hobby bar.A single unit like the Talonstrike kill team takes 3 boxes of other units to assemble PLUS 2 Deathwatch upgrade sprues making a unit of 10 dudes like 100+ dollars.t. working on my Talonstrike kill team lead by a jump chaplain right now (with chinese recast parts)
>>97807238Gaunt's Ghosts does this a few times.
>>97807276I know I can get the HH russ, I already have one, but I'd like if the newer (in lore) design had the newer (irl) build quality

>>97807155>I'm talking lasgun spam, 400 fucking dice rolled, magdump angron to death with 138 cadians type shit.Add up the number of bodies in that army.
What's the point of frost weapons? Rule wise.

>>97807276>>Catachan refresh>Yeah this much is obvious, I can see us getting it either next year or 2028.We know Steel Legion are coming in a couple years. You think we're getting Catachan in 2027 and Steel Legion in 2028?

>>97807299That fucking 30-second advertisement lives rent free in my head to this day and I can't even remember which stupid movie it played in the previews of.
>>97807330Disgusting how we use animals in warfare
>>97807334Because>We've got a consumer base that'll eat up anything we make
>>97807330Already canon
>>97807350I have to wonder what the last Marine release was that didn't just make them a million dollars immediately. Because it seems like a lot of people will just buy the new thing regardless of quality. Maybe that's less true for the less popular factions.
>>97807310No no, I mean this list >>97807132 it's 200+ bodies and a sentinel
>>97807351>mfw all of these characters look more interesting than the random whos we've been getting in the last decade>>97807359I think the only times marines failed to sell AS WELL AS USUAL might have been specific boxes, but armored super soldiers will always sell.
>>97807197I'm going for that sort of look
>>97807368Yeah, I think even the super ugly Desolation Marines still sold out instantly. But I wonder if that is because they were bundled with a brutalis dreadnought that actually looked pretty cool.I think the bikes and jump packs Christmas Battle Force did eventually sell out even if it took a while and was an awful box.Like how bad does a marine model have to be before it doesn't sell out on launch? And you know they make extra quantities of all the basic Space Marine releases.
>>97807334Because it's twice as sexy
Is digging through LinkedIn and any of the designer's personal blogs/websites the only way to find out who worked on what these days?
>>97807389yeah GW is very backwards towards giving credit for some reason
>>97806806>tqIf they made exodites I would jump on the GW Cuck train harder than Idubbbz on the real cuck train. I 3dp but I would love wood elves in space.Gw would never however because much like custodes they dont make sense from a lore perspective and arent space marines so gw wouldnt even try
>>97807372Clean, looking forward to the twins>>97807376I think the "problem" with primaris (and thus modern space marines) is that the average/standard customer is just that fucking basic.I may be a marinefag but I'm a very "autistic" one, everytime I talk to a "normal" marinefag the conversation is this:>Have you seen new thing?>They're a bit weird/stupid/bland but I could make it work>Idk I think they look goodAnd that's it. It's never bad. I never hear a >Oh damn this time they really and did it, what the fuckIt's always good. I know it's reductive but I think most of them just don't have standards, except that "old stuff looks old". I genuinely believe that in 20 years they'll think the very models they bought and praised will have "always looked kinda ass and is showing its age".
>>97807389I’m still trying to figure out who’s in charge of the recent maggotkin range and sylvaneth stuff.
>>97807400Wow, I almost don't hate the rocket launchers painted like that.
>>97807389>Read September 2008 white dwarf issue 173 (release of Assault on Black Reach)>Krieg Shadowsword>This kit was designed by Daren ParwoodBut hey, never been more profitable
>>97807406Another
>>97807400I have never understood some of the criticism people levy against models just because they are old and nothing else. Like there are legitimate reasons to criticize a lot of them, but none of them seem to be able to articulate it beyond vague allusions to scale or detail or poses. Or even explain why they like the new models better.
>>97807400I was always amazed Centurions seemingly had a dedicated defense force of some sort, but from an aesthetic standpoint the only things I hated about Primaris off the top of my head were anything with Repulsor tech and then these rocket dudes.
>>97807409>Daren Parrwood's instragram page >thousands of pictures of the same tree the fuck https://www.instagram.com/darenparrwood/
>>97807395Probably because of death threats Matt Ward received in 5th edition.
>>97807416Mmm, nah, still don't like that but I never liked Scouts period. Conceptually or aesthetically. It's an aspect of why I actually sort of like Primaris overall solely for sort of phasing scouts out, army wise if not actual lore wise (yet).But the gun does look nice.
>>97807428See but if they had just let nature run it's course things would be fine.
Any anons entered painting competitions like GD? A few of you are crazy good
>>97807395It's actually to protect people.
>>97806942Where is this from?
>>97807359It's a strange mindset that has developed mainly since 8th edition/primaris where some people have made "just buying anything GW releases" their hobby. Not to say there weren't extreme devotees before that, but it's become a much more conspicuous and "normalised" phenomenon in this time period. It's a mindset you can also see if you take a peak at /toy/. Threads for things like the marvel or star wars lines consistently have people posting things like "[new figure] looks crap, is blatantly worse than [other version of same character], has half as many accessories and costs $10 more. anyway, I ordered 2 of them". It's like for a group of people following and buying [thing] has completely eclipsed actually enjoying [thing] as a recreational activity.
>>97807417I think it's simply disgust. Something isn't perfect visually and so it gives them "the ick". And they can't go beyond that, possibly because they don't care.They'll look at a marine and see the infamous marine diaper and get the ick. Then they look at the new marine and it doesn't have this issue. If you're engaging with something on a surface level (literally since the outward appearance is what matters), then that's gonna prime over everything.It's not really new (though the proportion of such players might be), I remember watching a video of a guy presenting his sternguard vets using the ~2013 plastic kit and they were all built EXACTLY like the instructions.The lesson is that our two big crowds simply do not engage in 40k the same way, we are not looking for the same thing and we go towards different things and stop at different issues.
Funny enough my collage entry is already done because I was working on a Vulkan/Adrax proxy for my donut steel marines
>>97807427>>97807404Guess that answers the sylvaneth question
>>97807428It's supposedly because no one person works on the sculpts for the models anymore with modern design done in computers.
>>97807429>phasing scoutsYou never had to use scouts and your chapter could do anything really. But they did try with Phobos, which are clearly "Scouts-but-not-scouts".
Orkbros, what do we expect from the refresh beyond what's gonna be in the starter box?
>>97807417>I have never understood some of the criticism people levy against models just because they are old and nothing else. Like there are legitimate reasons to criticize a lot of them, but none of them seem to be able to articulate it beyond vague allusions to scale or detail or poses. Or even explain why they like the new models better.Most people, including myself, lack the proper vocabulary to describe it. Old stuff has a lot of flaws not present in newer stuff, but because it's hard to pin down what that stuff actually is, it's just bad because it's old.
>>97807438Very lovely dood, love the crotch plate>skull and laurels in different colorsLove that shit
>>97807440I think Parrwood might on the Specialist Games team. 40k and AoS are worked on by a combined Citadel sculpting team but HH, TOW, Necromunda etc are worked on by Specialist Games, and all of Parrwood's recent Warhammer related posts are advertising tanks in HH.
>>97806806Outside of some Dinosaur riders, I don't see Exodites having enough that's really interesting about them that isn't ultimately just Craftworlders/Corsairs but jungle/dinosaur themed. That'll probably be enough to sell quite a bit because Eldar armies are overall pretty sexy in general, but I'm not personally interesting in it.
>>97807428Then they would not credit the people in the warcome articles either. And the painters would not post about it on their instagram portfolios.Sounds like a way to shift the blame from GW if you ask me.
>>97807447New trukk.
>>97807395It's because GW doesn't want you to associate the art or sculpts or anything with a specific person instead of GW itself for brand purposes. If you associate all the good art or good models or whatever with an actual person instead of the GW monolith, it gives that person power at the expense of GW, which obviously GW don't want.

>>97807476I get my minis through a 3rd party store at -20%>Order box>box has damage>ask customer service>customer service asks GW>Get sent a second box for freeIt is what it is
>>97807395It because the 40K community is made of retarded apes and loves sending death threats to GW employees
>>97807444You didn't and all the battlefield stuff you had Scouts for, and a good deal of the Primaris' models are for the kind of stuff Marines arguably shouldn't be doing. They're shock troopers first and foremost. Do you really want the 8 foot tall power armored Space Knight sitting and shitting himself in the woods and the rain and mud with a sniper rifle waiting for a chance to dome the enemy commander?I personally don't but some people love that shit. But if you're going to have Marines doing that shit you might as well have it be a bunch of legitimate fully formed veteran Marines and not Marneus Jr. and the crayon eaters.
>>97807476There are discount retailers that give 15% or 20% off MSRP
>>97807477painboy, trukk and banner nob are the only things we have yet to see as a model or didn't appear in the trailer
>>97807485Search "Warhammer" on a google maps or something similar and find your local stores that sell plastic. They usually sell the models at a discount.
>>97807482Honestly the job of >8 foot tall power armored Space Knight sitting and shitting himself in the woods and the rain and mud with a sniper rifle waiting for a chance to dome the enemy commander?Could and should be done by chapter serfs, maybe failed space marine candidates. I get people wouldn't like it because you'd have non space marines in a space marine army but combined arms between astartes and non astartes like that fan art should be more common
>>97806806As a 40k army they are not good. They wouldnt leave their homesAs a kill team skirmish deal?They'd be really cool and thematic
>>97807482>Do you really want the 8 foot tall power armored Space Knight sitting and shitting himself in the woods and the rain and mud with a sniper rifle waiting for a chance to dome the enemy commander?Yes. One of my homebrew unit are Ravenwing Pathfinders.To each their own. That's why 40k is great.
>>97807497Yeah i dislike when combined imperium lists get shitty rules when it would be the most common occurrence in every lore books. I know they do it cynically to make you buy 2000 points of a single range.
>>97807498That can be handwaved away as Wyrmwood causing so much havoc and expanding the webway portal that random forces fall into them and are now suddenly on a maiden world or vice versa
is it just me or are modern minis grossly overdesigned?
>>97807395Because they used to list author names on Codexes and that led to a lot of hate whenever a Codex wasn't balanced the way people thought it should be.
>>97807497I'd actually love combat serfs. Give them mesh armor (5+) and auto/stub weapons or even hellguns.Could be very different depending on chapter,
>>97807495>They usually sell the models at a discount.genuinely, who actually does this? I have never seen a physical store sell under MSRP.
>>97807511My LGS thankfully.
>>97806835>The gayer EldarFtfy
>>97807502I've recently been obsessed with the white scar jetbike character because his armor seems to forgo a lot of the overdesign of primaris armor.There is a lot of detail/gribble to work in tandem with contrast paint. GW is scared of big smooth surfaces.The kits are also overdesigned in the sense that they are more complex for less results.
>>97807469>>97807487If it were a Trukk then the leakers who made photoshop mockups using existing models of what's in both boxes would have used a Trukk instead of the old Wartrakk, so it is more likely a scout vehicle similar to the wartrakk.I was bored so I've started ranking how I feel about the Ork minis so far. D tier is reserved for actual warcrimes, of which we honestly have none yet, just somewhat distasteful models.
>>97806806I don't understand the Ork range. Boyz were refreshed in 2021, but the old 3rd edition boyz are still for sale for cheaper. Then now we're getting Armageddon boyz and nobz. Do all of these just exist simultaneously and GW isn't discontinuing anything as usual? Why make new boyz when new boyz came out in 2021?
>>97807487>trukkTrakk
>>97807529Money!
>>97807529Old old boyz kit still in stockCurrent boyz stopgap/part of boxsetNew boyz for refreshIt's that simple
>>97807389GW is quietly building an AI model to fast track designing new sculpts
>>97807529>Do all of these just exist simultaneously and GW isn't discontinuing anything as usual?No.>Why make new boyz when new boyz came out in 2021?The boyz from 2021 were just a proof of concept, never intended to replace the previous boyz.
I checked if my local hobby shop does warhammer and for some reason the pictures on their site are deep fried to hell like a meme from 2017. You can only tell it's warhammer because there's a big Citadel sign.
>>978075292021 was 5 years ago.
>>97807511First store I hung out at did 10% from 1993-1999 when it went under new ownership. After that I was kind of part of the whales so I usually got 15%-20% on my $500+ orders.
please give us new bloodletters GW the current ones are literally old enough to deploy to iran right now
>>97807539Shit like the new defiler was obviously already AI generated.
>>97807529>>97807535The only confusing part is why the 2021 boyz exist. They don't replace anything, because as people have pointed out, they kept selling 3rd edition boyz. Molds are expensive to make, so the notion that they would design one that is meant to be replaced in 5 years for anything but what is intended to be a top selling faction (ie space marines and stormcast) is extremely out of character for GW. "Stopgap" model releases are not something they do deliberately. The only explanation I can think of is that the 2021 Boyz really were intended to be the out and out replacement for the 3rd edition kit, but performed so miserably for a faction core troop choice that GW felt they had to immediately plan for replacing them after 10th edition range updates were finalized.>>97807550Bro you do not sell a "proof of concept" for 5 years.
>>97807550> You can only tell it's warhammer because there's a big Citadel sign.>He doesn't know...
some guy near me is giving away a bunch of space wolves because he "wont need them anymore", should i snag them?
>>97807346To be fair in Wojtek's case, they rescued him as a cub from starvation when he was abandoned in a zoo and his mother killed due to the German advance.They just trained him to drink beer and chew cigarettes and wrestle with them. When told they can't have pets in the military the officially inducted him into the army as Private Wojtek. I can't remember the exact battle, but there was one where they had to carry artillery shells up a hill to the gunners and they found that Wojtek could carry as many shells as four men. So he repeatedly hauled ammo up that hill so well that he was promoted to Corporal afterwards. His unit went off to Scotland for rest and Wojtek was forced to retire to a zoo there. But until his death in 1964, his former army mates would visit him in the zoo, hopping the barrier to run in and share a beer and wrestle with him again.I just wonder what the Scots who didn't know what was going on when a random Pole rushes the barrier to the bear enclosure carrying a couple beers.Also, his unit's official insignia is now a bear carrying an artillery shell in honor of Wojtek's service.
>>97807572>Molds are expensive to makeI'm tired of this meme. They make free miniatures of the month. They create and support entire specialist games out of a whim. We got fomo shit and multiple version of the same units.It doesn't matter if it's expensive when they can both afford it and judge it to be worth it. GW is a company but that doesn't mean they are a machine, they make decisions with a board and shareholders over quarters and based on customer surveys.
>>97807572>"Stopgap" model releases are not something they do deliberately.It is. They did the same thing with Chaos Warriors. Or how about "Greater Possessed.">Bro you do not sell a "proof of concept" for 5 years.You do, especially when you can clearly see the concept has changed.
>>97807579I'm waiting
>>97807582If you want them
>>97807376That's because Desolation Marines were pretty overpowered when they came out, especially combined with the bullshit state that Oath of the Moment was at the time. Three squads of 10 missile marines able to reroll hits and wounds meant they'd just delete three things per turn. Then they got their points adjusted and they could only be taken in squads of 5. Which was much more balanced.
>>97807597It's all gonna be warhammer(tm).Stores are not Games Workshop stores, they're warhammer store.Paints are not citadel paints, they're warhammer paint.The design team isn't the Citadel team, they're the Warhammer team.It's over, anon. We're in the epilogue now.
>>97807607Anon it's branding. Who cares.
>>97807607genuinely why does it matter, i dont understand this memethe citadel name has basically already meant nothing but warhammer shit for decades now anyways, why does it matter THAT much
>>97807607The shop I'm talking about is an independent shop in a small town. The one in the much bigger town near me is a Warhammer(tm) shop. I don't really care though I'm a newfag.
>>97807613>anyways, why does it matter THAT muchUuhhhh old good new bad nostalgia or something
>>97807612>>97807613>Missing the forest for the trees
>>97807618
>>97807618>missing the L for the ruins
>>97807572Yeah. That's why I asked. What's wrong with the 2021 boyz anyway? Are they monopose or something?
>>97807622Stealing that one, kek>>97807626DeviousSerious talk: rebranding means a change of direction, whether we like it or not, whether or not we grasp what it entails.In plain english: it's a symptom, not the illness, part of a bigger set of changes.
>>97807637>changes... are happening...They've grasped that the name Warhammer is about 100x more well known than the name Games Workshop and therefore is a better name for marketing purposes.
>>97807591The other thing to point out is GW has a mold engineering department and cnc machines. It's much cheaper if you can make your own molds rather than contracting it out.
>>97807637>rebranding means a change of directionNo it doesn't necessitate that at all, but it gives that impression. Which is why companies change their labels every few years, it boosts sales without actually having to spend on changing the product.
>>97807584>I can't remember the exact battleMonte Cassino
...It's quiet...
Do they 3D print minis too?
>>97807739Since early 3e, has anyone, even GW, drawn people actually using the built in scopes on lasguns, rather than having guys aim over them or slapping extra sights on top?
>>97807739Knucklehead isn't posting so him and his detractors aren't shiting up the place.
>>97807754that's not even a scope that's a big ass laser sight, they aren't seeing shit through that
>>97807760
>>97807636>What's wrong with the 2021 boyz anyway?Subjectively the sculpts are just kinda shitty, emblematic of what can go wrong with Ork sculpts:>every feature of the models is rendered in an overly blocky manner - muscles have hard edges all over, armor which definitely should be crude and somewhat boxy is squared out to the point of cartoonishness>faces generally look really bad, devoid of character and overcome with the aforementioned blockiness>posing is middling, for all the advantages of modern kits that we are meant to be trading off inherent poseability for, few of them have natural or interesting looking poses (the one in pic related is one of the decent ones)Objectively as a troop kit they're also very bad:>Orks at the time in their rules could still field up to 30 boyz in a mob, with a variety of weapons and two optional special weapons per 10 boyz, with one Nob for a mob leader - the old kit could build 10 exactly like this, with one being a Nob or a Boy as needed. Most squads wanted to be all of one type of weapon (shoota or slugga/choppa, which the old kit also accommodated.>New kit locked 1 Ork to be special weapons every time, 1 Ork to be a Nob every time, and 3 Orks to be Shootas every time with the rest as Slugga/Choppa. This meant to build the same mobs you could build with the old kit, you would need to buy like 6 of the new ones (and Mork help you if you wanted to build an entire mob of Shoota boyz)Obviously the boyz in the 11e starter set will have limitations, but presumably much like Necrons and Tyranids before them, an expanded version of those sculpts and sprues will be presented later in the year to add options for variations in builds, which never happened with the 2021 kit.
>>97807767bruh you cannot see through a scope that has a laser exactly where your sightline is
>>97807770Forgot the pic for comparison.
>>97807767what exactly does a flash suppressor do on a gun that shoots a beam or bolt of light
>>97807780Apparently whether it shoots a laser or a star wars-esque laser bolt has never truly been nailed down. Also sometimes lasguns have recoil and sometimes they don't.
>>97807780Reduces the light flash from the laser projector, obviously.
>>97807777Nice Tetris Anon
>>97807785They nailed it to the yellow blaster bolt in a post earlier this year, so it'll be that for anything official going forward.It's kind of growing on me desu.

>>97806873they're not truescaled, their helmets are too small, their hands and guns are too big, their bare heads are too bigthey're a less exaggerated heroic scale
>>97807890I guess the main thing was to stop regular squads getting essentially a free vet seargant upgrade, but yeah it is pretty much the same.
>>97807897Orks who enjoy cracking fragile eldar vehicles with their big booming dakka and then pouring over the wreckage are apparently considered perverts

>>97808090Also now you got me thinking, would be cool if the Carcharodons would every get some exclusives, giving them flyers that are boat like but work in Space as well.
>>97807845I think that would satisfy everyone. It would allow for women Marines without contradicting the lore about only males being able to become Marines.
>>97808074
>>97808068im not a bimbo i graduated college
>>97808090Holy shit another Idea, they should do some lore that models Pacific Rim like a planet drop of Titans in an Ocean battling Gigantic Tyranid Oceanic creatures, so fucking sick.
>>97807833h-hot...

>>97808205Funny how GW nailed heh khorne cultists with look and name and doing drgs made from world eater blood. But then eightbound are such a miss. Great models but they are not fitting for their fluff.
>>97808211My shit-ass opinion is that World Eaters without the bunny ears poor excuses for berserkers. Strange that the actual 2022 Khorne Berserkers kit with it's slightly stumpy proportions has more dynamism in its poses.
>>97807253Made a collage of my faces I've done recently.
>>97808247I'd say great job brother
>>97808247Really nice. I'm trying to get out of my deal where I only know how to paint one kind of face.
>>97804993Hoping to squeeze this fat fuck in. Start to finish this was one of my most satisfying character projects.
>>97807253My earlier pic is low res and also here's some others
>>97808259fucking sick
>>97808259What would you play him as, a chaos lord in terminator? I've been thinking about getting a box of saturnine termies to make some lords and sorcerers.
>>97806825Hot take, I would have liked it if the heavy intercessors were rolled into a new tactical squad. Heavier armour but with all the options to build them with whatever weaponry you want.
>>97808259That's is so fucking cool im blown away, the skulls on the chain (tau skull on the left?) the gore and grittiness. >SoB and Primaris head on baseWhich kit did you get his head from?Its all so fucking good
>>97808261nice work anon, i dunno why but i actually smiled seeing these
>>97808259that looks proper grim anon, howd you make it look so dirty?
>>97807253Some of my faces
>>97808293what paints did you use for the bottom left?
Anyone else find it embarrassing that Leman “Doglester” Russ didn’t have the decency to do right by his boys by going back to lead them? He essentially committed suicide after the Heresy was over.
>>97808295I forgot. I think extremely dilluted red contrast on the face, and dilluted evil sunz red, less and less dilluted as I go down.In the collar I used deep red slowly going to white for the light source (deepest part of the armor)
bros I have two armiggers, are Imperial Knights an actually viable army? I don't like the idea of having a million guys like a Saturday at your mums house, I'd prefer a small but elite team
>>97808309They're very viable, but they're kind of a skew army. Either the other guy has lots of anti-tank and you're fucked, or he doesn't and he's fucked. But I've only played against Knights maybe 5 times so I can't say definitively.
Expanding the Horus Heresy was a genuine mistake as it turned 40k into Marvel crap.>Every Space Marine chapter is just the original 20 now>Primarchs and other named characters are super heroes >REVIVING GUILLIMAN AND LIONELAlso, there's way too many fucking books on the Horus Heresy it's ridiculous.
>>97808283Head is from the old oop forgeworld terminator upgrade sprue>>97808291AK streaking grime
>>97808320It wasn't HH itself, it was these retarded companies getting obsessed with Marvel for some reasonHappened to magic as wellI saw it happen in other franchises and now it's happening in mine
>>97808323>Happened to magic as wellWhat? There was lore about the JACETICE League?
>>97808324There was that, but I mean the whole making an epic pantheon of characters and nothing ever happeningThe marvel-isation of IPs will be genuinely studied in the future
C'Tan has arrived.
>>97808324>>97808323Magic at least had the excuse that the story for each plane revolved around the actions few planes walkers, which are essentially superheroes, either saving a plane or releasing another problem and causing bigger issues. 40k is a galaxy wide empire that no one knows the true size of, with armies made up of unknown trillions or even quadrillions against so many alien threats no one knows them all, on top of chaos which is a galactic state secret until you meet it in person. Having all that revolve around a few characters is far more damaging to the setting than magic having a revolving cast of 'good' planeswalkers aganist a super duper evil dragon one
>>97808327Why does the human mind envision him as a goofball with a silly hat?
Are infernus marines better than the Intercessor units?
>>97808334Silly design that is copyrightable was the main concern. You'd think an all powerful being would be seen as a divine patriarch type look (old man, long white beard) or a dragon of some sort
What faction jobs the most to show how strong someone else is, and why is it Orks?
>>97808299appreciated anon, im trying to achieve a similar effect with flesh to red. did you just dilute the contrast with contrast / speedpaint medium?
>>97808411Can you prove empyrically that it's orks?
>>97808322did you coat it and just remove the excess? ive only used streaking grime on flat surfaces of vehicles, never on an infantry model (yet)
>>97807253Scout faces!The sculpts are pretty wonky, but they're very expressive.
>>97807428This is a myth deboonked by Matt Ward himself.
>Give bullgryn tiny arm shield>4+ invuln save>Give bullgryn FUCKHUGE WALL OF STEEL>+1 hpsomeone explain this
>got inspired by the gsc anon and his collage entry, which were aberrants>trying to paint them in behemoth styleShould I go harder with the red on the tyranid arms? Atm it more looks like blood than an actual skin tone
>>97808490
>>97808423yup, just used contrast medium. I found that using water would just separate the colors, creating patches. But now that I said it, on such a tiny, detailed area like a face that shouldnt matter.Another thing, take a photo if you can of the head with lights under it, to see where the shadows will drop. And for these shaded spots, use dilluted shades of the light source (so in your case it would be dilluted red wash)
>>97808520i rike.
For Sisters, when should you use Sephirim instead of Zephirim?
>>97808545Sephs are for kiting zephs are for diving. You probably want to use sephs vs slow enemies you can scoot close to, magdump, then dip out of charge range.
I hate my disgusting shitbashed chud termie sorc, what color scheme should I paint him as punishment for existing?
>>97808597Brown and violet. He should be an eyesore if you hate him so much.
>>97808597make him robes with masking tape folded and painted then shaped while still wetI promise it'll look great, you can cut up shapes before you make it wet and make it very wavey if you want
>>97808597orange and teal
I feel like I'm building my models too slowly. I'm spending maybe 2 hours or so on each of my Deathwing Knights, meanwhile my brother flies through a kit of 10 Khorne Berserkers in an afternoon.Am I being too slow, or is he just not spending time filing down every mold line and sprue connection?
>>97808620don't worry about comparing yourself to others when it comes to hobby, just focus on whether you're happy by the time you're finished the model.Getting quicker with your process will just come with time, just focus on doing things the right way and it'll come to you.
>>97806825There are people who dislike tactical squads?
>>97808647They're cotratians ragebaiting
>>97808691Too bad they're being pushed to legends finally.The top box that out sold all of WH:Fantasy is getting squatted.>because people use 30k marines for tacticals
Has gw said when they're releasing venetari and grav carrier?
Are dark angels still the gayest chapter?
>>97808730sallies are grimbright so they're the gay
>>97808730nah it's space wolves followed closely by blood angels
I don't play Warhammer so forgive my ignorance but what is the connection between Warhammer and Warhammer 40k? Is 40k the sequel to Warhammer or are they totally different games?
>>97808691These damn croatians
>>97808763Totally different games, 40k is an AU of Fantasy, but it's like.... Ok you know House M.D.? Ok now imagine instead of House and Co being doctors they're a D&D adventuring party. That's how alternate of an AU 40k is.
>>97808763Different games and settings. Its like Warcraft and Starcraft (who were rumored to be Warhammer and Warhammer 40k games back in the day)
>>97808763https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=warhammer+vs+warhammer+40%2C000
>>97808763You have to play the intervening 39,999 games
>>97808763the short answer is that 40k is set in our milky way galaxy in the year 40000, while normal warhammer is set on a fantasy world that is not earth, despite the similarities, and is practically a separate universe; its events are not to be considered as happening before or after 40kthe points of contacts between the two settings are the old ones, the precursor race that uplifted all the races, the same in both, and the chaos demons that come from outside space and time, attacking both
>>97808791Is the Slaanesh in 40 the same as the Slaanesh in WHF/AoS?Does Skarbrand fight Necrons in one day and a bunch of Ogres the next?I always wonder, if that is the case, how easy they must find WHF/AoS compared to the shit that's in 40k, and how Daemon Primarchs like Angron dont just show up in Fantasy with modern weaponry.
>>97808763Warhammer is singeplayer, Warhammer 40,000 is multiplayer
>>97808802Treat them as seperate universes that occasionally has an easter egg reference.The Daemon characters are technically different between the two games.
>>97808842God I fucking hate how the Tyranids have stupid fucking gunsWhy can't Anglos be creative
>>97808802>Is the Slaanesh in 40 the same as the Slaanesh in WHF/AoS?>Does Skarbrand fight Necrons in one day and a bunch of Ogres the next?yes3 things you need to understand about demons:demons are "relative" beings, like shadows, or the reflection in a mirror, they're only as big as the other thing makes themalso they're conceptual things and are more harmed by things we have greater symbolism over, a sword can harm them more or more consistently than a gunthe fantasy world is saturated with magic, not the demons, the world, its people and their tools are better at handling demons than the same people and the same tools in a normal world the crossing over of people and tech from one to the other is not something that can be done consistently, demons are fickle; modern weapons do appear in fantasy from time to time, but never in numbers where they can change things, they stay curiosities and anomalies
>>97808846>anon's idea of creativity is for bugs to shoot acid from their mouths
So we all agree Disintegration is better than Unknown Pleasures right
>>97808851Instead of acid it should be milk and instead of guns it should be breasts
>>97808861Wank before posting next time
>>97808865never40k hasn't cured my loneliness
Detachment: Creations of Bile.30 Possessed, Icons (+1 Attack)30 Raptors, 6 Meltaguns, 9 Heavy Melee Weapons, 6 Flamers, 3 Mutations (+1WS)20 Berzerkers, 4 Eviscerators (+2" Movement)1 Prince on Foot for +Cover Save5 Havocs, 4 Lascannons (+1 BS)Feels like a superior blood angels jetpack list. Talk me out of it.
>>97808842based behemoth enjoyer. what paints did you use for your gargoyle wings? im dreading having to paint another 10 soon
>foldable stockcan someone remind me which legi- regiment has such las guns by default? :^) must be elysians with their tacticool stuff, and they would have made a great "IG vs nids", but GW just keeps on hating FW even after absorbing it.
>>97808874I can tell you, but only if you can tell me how to self-actualize and not rely on external validationAlso Militarum fucking sucks lmao
>>97808330>40k is a galaxy wide empire that no one knows the true size of, with armies made up of unknown trillions or even quadrillions against so many alien threats no one knows them all, on top of chaos which is a galactic state secret until you meet it in person. Having all that revolve around a few characters is far more damaging to the setting than magic having a revolving cast of 'good' planeswalkers aganist a super duper evil dragon oneReminder that you can destroy infinite Imperial worlds and the writers will keep creating new ones. Destroy as many as you want, the Imperium will always have more. So long as it's not an actual plot important place like Terra or Ultramar, the Imperium can suffer any number of losses because the worlds you destroyed literally didn't exist before the story that destroyed them.The Imperium is unstoppable. The Emperor has already won.
>>97808876>self-actualizethrough proonting and designing one's own stuff
>>97808874That design looks just like the FN FNC's.
Always some new never before seen town or village in the Empire to be destroyed as part of a new character's backstory, always a new Chaos Lord with>The destruction of X >Razing of Y or another achievement beating up a planet nobody's heard of until then.
>>97808874are foldable stocks tacticool
>>97808889Depends on how you view WWII
>>97808846I hate boneswords. Weird how the master of evolutions still made swords held by hands.I love everything about tyranids, but I'm thinking of kitbashing boneswords to come out of their wrists. Like scything claws, but straight.I dont know if anyone has done this.
Got some models for a diorama and realising i have no idea how to do a diorama
>>97808878By that logic every other faction has won as well because they're not going to be beaten
>>97808919Well the way to start is by doing
>>97808914it looks bad and the extra point of articulation boosts strikes
>>97808919What idea did you have for the diorama?
>>97808923No, Orks have won. Infinite enemies to fight, not caring about empires or advancing any cause but having a brawl, they're the winners of 40k.
>>97808914>boneswords to come out of their wrists
I am the bone of my sword
>>97808940
>>97808925But then I have to do things instead of just complaining on the internet>>97808934The defence of helsreachI have the sisters, templars, steel legion and some orks
>>97808763Sequel.There was also a Warhammer 2000 that was released in the 90s as "midquel" that was set in the year 2000, but it didn't manage to garner the same popularity as the other games, so it was dropped shortly before the end of it's first year.
>>97808914Hands are useful
>>97808945Alright so you want to get something to set everything up on, i suggest some insulation or XPS foam and maybe some wood if it's large, beyond that stuff like cork and and sand will be good for making rubble.It's good to plan when models will be so everythings fits well together on the board, so do a moc up once you've got you models built and draw up where you plan on having everything.
>>97807060There's actually differences between the male and female custodes sculpts.Male have broader torsos and have bigger boots/feet. While the female custodes are thinner, smaller boots/feet and have slight bust to their chest armor.
>>97808874What a weird passive aggressive snark post.
>love painting minis>hate bases, the more detailed the more I hate themWhat do? Thin matte transparent discs?
Link to download episodes of the series The Tithes and Adepta Sororitas: Penitence.
>>97808867Sounds fun to use BUT by the time you've painted all this it will 2029
>>97808857id have to agree, i like joy division but that cure album is top notch
>>97808991Paint a white band on the black plastic and pretend it's asphalt like another anon was doing
>>97808992seconding
>>97808953Not if you're just made for a battle before being recycled. Also the hands are fused to the swords.
>>97808867Playing CoB without Fabius is kind of a waste desu
>>97809010they can let go of the weapons if they need it
>>97809010I choose to believe the swarmlords hands aren't fused so he can pull this pose or the 'are you not entertained' type pose
>>97808955Thank you anon, I appreciate it
>>97809017>>97809019Me too, but looking at the mini it looks like some fingers are fused.Even then. Swords? Really? You can create any creatures and your most optimised biological melee weapons are swords? Everyone else has scythes, talons, claws. The odd sword (and whips) among the rest of the more animal like weapons sticks out.Talk about whips, it shouldve just been an elongated, tentacle arm. A hand "holding" a whip looks weird, knowing the whip is part of the organism.
>>97809019He's going to sodomize the guardsmen isn't he?
>>97809038hands = intelligence handheld = intelligently designed it's that shrimple
twin lance progress not sure what i'm going to do with the shields 2bh
>>97809041He doesn't need to, as they stand there the planet is already in advanced stages of digestion and assimilation Millions of spores per cubic centimetre have already invaded the guardsmen lungs, intestines and bloodstreamsoon enough the tyranid spores will reach the germ cells of the human and rewrite them to act as suitable vessels, spreading like cancerous growths pregnant with tyranid lifethen the guardsman's organs will explode due to the pressure, releasing ripper swarms and more spores in the environmentsee the dead space wolf? his progenoids, testicles and anus have already exploded probably prematurely because they were already compromised ahead of battle for some reason
>>97809038something something mimicing human tools to fuck with human psychology
>>97809038swords are just an efficient way to apply strength but they should have maces, flails and axes and shields too
>>97809053Always a pleasure to see your cheddar tau, anon
>>97809084They're clearly chocolate tau, dummy.
>>97809053>New tau twin models>Not biological twins but are man and women>There was a third, a tau woman pilot who they both loved and she died and now they fight in her memoryI dunno what GW designers are smoking or watching but its kino that both of them have a lost woman love, making one of them a woman stopped it from being cuck cringe of 2 guys in love with the same woman
>>97809057>probably prematurely because they were already compromised ahead of battle for some reasonkek
>>97808320Nothing about the heresy will ever match the amount of damage primaris have done.
We need a new thread like the tyranids need a new planet
>>97809118not for a little while yet
>>97809138>>97809138>>97809138
>>97809140why are you so impatiant, you could at least waited till image limit/posted some models first.
>>97809132>>97809143Dead thread with no discussion who cares a few more pics could have been posted. But it is pg7 not 8 so yeah could have waited a little
>>97809158It's not too bad since there's there's now only 3 /40kg/ in the catalog, but gotta it's usually a good idea to hold off so the board isn't filled with too many at a time.
>>97809170idc lmao
>>97809201yeah that's not surprising from a femstodes poster.
>>97807887I hope apothecaries go back to fiving a fnp. They did in 9th and they were super useful and I've never used them in 10th because the revive rule fucking sucks for most units they can actually attach to. With the new detachment system I wonder if I can make a core of 3 max sized tacticals/intercessors with apothecaries inside rhinos parking on all objectives.
>>97808152done the same with my custards. i have all models assembled and primed
>>97808152nice grippers
>>97812841weird looking calgar
