>>97836798>TQ prices will continue to go unreasonably higher because of whales and scalpers and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
Fellow eldar fans I am here for you.
>>97836798>TQAll of Warhammer exists to sell toys. This is most apparent in Warhammer 40k.Somehow the Transformers fandom has accepted it.Yet it seems there is barely any acceptance from the 40k fandom.>there's an actual article on the TF wiki about it>https://tfwiki.net/wiki/To_sell_toysI hope all of you anons have a great Easter!
>>97836798>TQI bet AoS will keep on getting the better minis. I keep on saying this but 40k is comfortably secure enough that 40k can coast as 1st place. AoS needs to claw and bite to remain at 2nd, 3rd, or whichever place it's in so they need to try when 40k doesn't. They can't get complacent, 40k can.
>>97836798>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?Female Custodes have always existed.
>TQKilling the Squats offs was a good thing.
>>97836814I'll admit it
Posting it again.
>>97836834This. That way they can bring newer Squats that aren't Imperium. Being tied to the Imperium was bad.
>>97836798>TQThat 40k had more in common with train autists than today's board/card game faggotry.>>97836821>mfw plastic shadow spectres neverWhy live
>>97836814I think Eldar, Space Marines, Orks, Tau, Imperial Humans, Chaos, Necrons are all cool
>>97836844All resin minis are superior, revel in them. Look at what happened to the krieg.
>>97836840We need paint recipes for the entire dark skin eldar girl chart. And then in multiple paint brands beyond GW and ArmyPainter but more from TTC (Duncan's and the other TTC) AK, Vallejo, P3 etc.
>>97836823>Yet it seems there is barely any acceptance from the 40k fandom.Everytime a new model is released and someone peeps about it not being perfect there is a sea of faggots arguing it's just a toy and it's not that deep bro. It is very much accepted and the common sentiment.

>>97836852
he looks so fucking cool
Just got the rare RT era pointing farseer on ebay for like a third of its usual price
>>97836849The things I don't like about the new kriegs are>feet are worse (+ less detailed shoes)>merging grenadiers & engineers>loss of units/wargear (mole launcher, centaur, marshal, quartermaster, vehicle upgrades)But otherwise I think they're cool, the new death rider grew on me. Wish I could grab a couple of the KT boxes.I'll try and kitbash a field marshal. Pic related
I am sad that I cannot name a single Nurgle character who wants to accumulate disease. There's only one Nurgling turned Great Unclean One who's trying to recreate the Nurgle soup that made him. I can't name a Nurgle follower who's not trying to infect others but wants others to infect him to get as much disease as possible. If disease - Nurgle's blessings then this is trying to hoard them for himself.
Decal man is already superior to the majority of this thread as he actually owns models and they are painted
>>97836871>t. inferiority complex
>>97836871
>>97836869Does this count as Nurgle?
>>97836850I could do some more recipes, though I'll probably be using mostly AP, GW, and TTC stuff. Maybe vallejo as well, though I've never used their acrylics.
>>97836861I was never sold on the mechadendrites. The only time I like them is when they're put on something like a Tech priest who has clearly gone over the deep end. When they're just slapped on a Space Marines or a dude with robes I dislike it.
>>97836798>TQThat the quality actual game has very little to do with the popularity of 40k so much as just having rules that exist as an incentive and encouragement to model an army for a game in a cool setting. The fantasy of your army on the battlefield is more important than how it actually plays.
>>97836852>there is a sea of faggots arguing it's just a toy and it's not that deep broI don't think the use of such phrases is a sign of genuine acceptance. It is more so just a phrase to win an internet argument. I do see what you're getting at as I think there may be someone who genuinely means it but look at what site you're posting on. We'll say anything to win an internet argument even if it isn't true.But I just find it funny that 1d4chan (rip) never seemed to have a to sell toys article about Warhammer.

>>97836881I'd greatly appreciate it.>Maybe VallejoAK seems to primarily compete with Vallejo while trying to get historical and wargamer sales so maybe Vallejo will mean close enough conversions to AK paints.

>>97836852>it's just a toy and it's not that deep bro.Because it's true.Fucking Transformers fans, guys who are actual manchildren collecting action figures, ie. toys, are more selfaware than 40kfags.
Is perturabo a demon prince or not? Apparently perturabo is coming back soon. However, was it ever specifically stated if he is a demon prince or not? IF he is one, why did he do it? I thought the Iron Warriors don't like sucking up to daemons anyway?
>>97836901Helmet goes hard as fuck
>>97836917>is he Pert a daemon nowYes.>why though?It was forced upon him.
>>97836875>>97836878Nice cumback
>>97836798>TQNo matter what people say and theorize, Chaos is the main focus of the setting and it will win in the end. Also Slaanesh is the best and most evil Chaos god
Why is terrain so shit these days? Some store near me hosted a kill team tourney and the terrain was so shit I had to excuse myself. Kill team literally comes with terrain.It was unpainted styrofoam.
>>97836798>https://x.com/k_cross/status/1997151066643907017/photo/1Would Abaddon be better if he had an insect motif?
>>97836916>because it's trueThat wasn't the point, the point was that he claimed it wasn't a general sentiment when it was.
>>97836871he drags himself down by being an autistic psycho. say what you want about secondaries, but none of them reach chris chan tier spergouts like decalfag, edgecoc, and ben.
>>97836798>TQI'm agreeing with >>97836823. When Ansell was discussing the game creation with Priestley he ordered him to make sure the entire Citadel catalog could be played in it. My other gripe is the "lore" that people love so much is literal ass pull and hand wave designed to sell models.
>>97836917If they bring back Pert, does that mean they HAVE to bring back Rogal Dorn?
>>97836867>that picThis guy seems to have the "GW style" of sculpting for plastic moulds perfectly captured.What is the secret sauce to getting it right?>inb4 linksGW's legal team is watching and I'd rather not have access to it than have it get compromised.An AI must be trained on AnvilIndustry minis and these GW style mimicking models to spit out STL guard models that are all modular and compatible with each other.

>>97836798>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?Topknots are funny to make fun of.
>>97836798>TQ:Primaris saved GW from bankcruptcy in 2017 and are the sole reason why 40k at all exists today and 40k didn't start to die off and fall into obscurity 10 years ago.
>>97836798>>thread question:>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?firstborn marines are only 7' tall on average
So can someone explain to me the new story with the new edition? Is any other primarch other than Perty coming back? I heard Rogal might be back?Is the novels with Perty combined with the new edition or whatever? Are we going to see anything new with Guilliman or The Lion? Like, what are they doing while Perty is just running around?
>>97836917I think it is kept in the dark to why Perts ascended to daemonhood.Some say it is because of some warp stuff Fulgrim did to him.Some say it is autism to spite Dorn during the Iron Cage incident where he sacrificed IF geneseed and then the gods decided to make him a daemon prince.Personally I want it to be autism. Like Perts threw geneseed away to spite Dorn because autism and then the gods decided to elevate him and Pert threw a big tantrum all through the process. Now he is bitter and seething at his daemonhood and trying to hide it like how IW players are CSM in denial.Also if I ever make a loyal chapter of space marines (after I finish my guard project) they will be descended from loyal IW geneseed stock.I don't care how cringe or overused such a homebrew thing is. I like it and it makes me happy thinking about such a chapter.
The only connection I have to warhammer anymore is my old codex art desk mat.
>>97836939>What is the secret sauce to getting it right?Practice. The guy has been doing Zbrush pretty regularly for ~2 years and been painting since the end of the past century/millenium.My guess would be having the actual material, maybe scanning it for an easier look.There are a fuckton of people selling models close to GW's nowadays, the files are out there and it doesn't take much to recreate it.Plus the new AIs make it impossible to stop.All it takes is a couple of autists to buy the minis and scan them anyway, I have a full STL of the angron miniature for fuck sake.
>>97836946They are 100 percent bringing back Rogal Dorn if Pert comes back. It would be an autistic fight the ages.
>>97836950Someone saved my dumb shit from years ago.I've really made it.
>>97836798I bet everyone here accepted it already but not all the 40k community. 40k is unlikely to make any big waves in Japan or anywhere dominated by Gunpla.
>>97836917Yes he's a daemon prince.>I thought the Iron Warriors don't like sucking up to daemons anyway?Some of them do, some of them don't, it's not exactly clear cut. Plus this is their excuse to make Vashtorr relevant again
>>97836798I bet large chunks of the Chaos community can be described by pic.
>>97836957Feeling like an agent of chaos with how deliciously this oozes with SOVL to me. They rare?
>>97836798>>thread question:>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?That Dark Eldar are inherently unpopular due to their aesthetics, lore and themes as a faction, and at the same time that is fine as is despite them.
>>97836963Well just how daemon prince is he then? Is he like Angron tier daemon prince? Also, which god would have even elevated Pert to Daemon Prince hood?
>>97836950I've lost count of the amount of models I've passed over because they had a goofy topknot. It's just lazy sculpting
>TQDark Eldar are cool as fuck but no one wants to admit it
Anyone know where I can get those faction coins? Im trying to get the ork one atm but its sold out everywhere
>>97836955nothing nothing is happeningeven if or when another primarch comes back nothing will actually happenruss may or may not get a model within 3 yearsperturabo may or may not get a model within 3 yearsdorn may or may not get a model within 6 yearslorgar may or may not get a model within 6 years there's no real ongoing story, the 4th tyrannic war, the 5th war for armageddon, the building of the infinite citadel, the warzones in the pariah nexus, they are all happening at the same time and will stay ongoing forever and just add to whatever other stuff they might cook up to showcase new modelsyou won't get a novels series about the reunion of the primarchs, you won't get a novel series about the iron cage electric boogaloo, you won't get a novel series about a new siege of terra
>>97836972I think they are perfectly available still.https://www.warhammer.com/en-WW/shop/warhammer-40k-desk-mat-retro-codex-2023
>>97836975Dark Eldar aren't as unpopular as people seem to think. And a fair portion of that is GW snubbing and mismanaging the faction for literally thirty years at this point. And yet they still have a very dedicated small fanbase.
>>97836798>TQThe memes about 40k are more interesting than 40k. Then fan content better than the official.
The eye of terror book mentions traitor guard WITH ARMOUR so HOPEFULLY this means not fucking daemon engines and actually allowing traitors to have a detachment that uses IG vehicles.
>>97836978He's a bit like Be'lakor, not exactly serving a God, but Chaos as a whole. As for power level, that's up to the future writers I suppose
Awoo with me, brothers and sisters
>>97836798>>thread question:>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?Gambit
Mini-maris.
>>97836978Mortarion beat his ass. We don't know who specifically he's dedicated too.
>>97837017NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>97836798>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?That Chaos isn't well written or well designed as a concept/faction/meta-physical mechanic.It suffers the most about the "40k is ultimately about selling toys syndrome". If 40k was a sandbox and all the factions within it were children playing at the sandbox, Chaos would be that one kid that nobody really likes and who constantly goes>"You can't beat my Cpt. Evil, his super hardened skin renders him invincible!"And if someone figures out a loophole, like pulling off a coma stunt, he'll just go.>"Nuh uh, that didn't work because... b-because his power also makes him immune to comas!"Also the whole thing with "Chaos always will win in the end no matter what." just makes the setting lame, because it basically means that everything within 40k is a pre-determined outcome, free will doesn't exist, and none of the actions of any character, be they imperial, chaos traitor, a xenos, anything, it never mattered or meant anything.
>>97836814>>97836981>Get into warhammer because of tau>Thought necrons were so cool, was going to buy a box of them without even knowing how the game was played>Didn't really register eldar existed until like 7 years ago>Only factions who's aesthetics I like across the board Only reason I don't have eldar is because I can't paint faces and they have a lot of freehanding
>>97837028What a shit take, but I guess my reaction is in line with what the TQ is asking.
>>97836927As a grog I would say part of it is modren tournament mentality. Terrain is just a abstract thing for the competition, basically a plain chess board for fancy chess pieces. Other part is terrain cost money and fat mouth breathers are purposefully destructive to store terrain. Holy hell the amount of willful vandalism and lack of care I've seen done to store terrain. I miss the days of green canvas tablecloths, and mounds of hills, trees, and rocks at stores. Now all I see are those giant mouse pads and L shaped ruins. I have like five boxes of Geohex I pull out for games from time to time.
>>97836987>there's no real ongoing story,Well there needs to beWhy should I care about a world that was just recently made (not talking about what you said after that quoted sentence, just in general) of what some characters do that'll never be mentioned again?>the 4th tyrannic war, the 5th war for armageddon, the building of the infinite citadel, the warzones in the pariah nexus, they are all happening at the same time and will stay ongoing forever and just add to whatever other stuff they might cook up to showcase new modelsThis is just terrible, I don't even wannt conclusions to the story or anything of those I just want the overall pace and the total conclusion to sorta move ahead. Its getting boring being part of a setting where the only reason why everything isn't already taken over is a dying Imperium that should have fallen thousands of years ago.We get literally barely anything with the Lion and now we just aren't even going to see him do anything else for how long? Why don't we get to see them.Its just so boringWhats the point of opening a new series of warfronts when they never end or story happens in those already current warfronts?I just don't understand how people enjoy the story of this settinng if nothing really happens on a scale thats bigger than a single planet. Its all the same shit anyway
Friend on TTsim is a Chaos Knight player He's really faggy about itWhat do I take besides other knights to be a cunt back to him
>>97837043>Well there needs to beno, it doesn't, this is a wargame you have a setting, you have plot hooks, you have premises and 'historical' examplesplay your campaigns
>>97836814The Eldar have always been, and always will be cool.They are what got me into 40k in the first place. My brain got oneshot by seeing white dwarf with eldar cover on a library back when I was a wee lad, and just the aesthetics alone pulled me in and within a week I got my first Eldar miniatures.
>>97837050lots of lascannons
>>97836992They are unpopular as people think. This place isn't a great metric as to what counts as "popular" since1. this place is extremely tiny and the population is also very small, so opinions being echoed aren't as varied. Also this place even before removal of the IP counter used to net about 60-80 people, but seeing /tg/ as a whole is dying I have a feeling that number has gone down heavily.2. 4chan inherently as a platform is going attract people who are a bit more contrarian than normal, like evil elves that torture people for fun is very niche as a faction3. tournament listings aren't that great of a metric for popularity either because lot of the time what is popular is heavily skewed by the current rules, ie. armies with shit rules are less likely to show up and armies with decent/good rules then show up because they have a chance at winning
Any oldfag eldarfags around? Does anyone know about the 2005/2006ish metal rangers? There's a set of 5 that sold together, and a separate 6th sculpt sold as "eldar ranger kneeling observing" in a blister packet. Was that separate one limited edition in some way?
>>97836798>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?Primarchs are about Admiral height.
>>97837042I want to build some terrain for my store so badly but I know it would be wrecked within a month.
Just make the Eldar hot, you idiots at GW. Just make them good looking. Whole point of elves in every fantasy is to be humans++, so that the regular humans have something surrounding them from above.
>>97837083This reminds how retarded the Character heights are in One piece
>>97837090Who ever made this has never read an eldar novel
>>97837090Jes Goodwin is the godfather of the Eldar and he has determined that they look fine as they are. Anything that deviates from the look in their concept art is not fucking canon.
>>97837099I read the dawn of fire novels and that's the case there sadly.
>>97836798>TQMarine height isn't a static 7ft and it constantly changes from story to story, from lore piece to lore piece, based on what's convenient for the story/setting at hand.
I figured he needed something around his chest to not look too much like a regular krieger. Satchel (orders/documents) and medals?Right now this kitbash requires:>krieger body & arms>death rider torso & head>satchel & medals from Krieg KT (oop)R8 my photoshop shit
Sometimes GW does depict eldar as good looking.
>>97837101>Jes Goodwin is the godfather of the EldarJes retired and no longer works at GW.And since he isn't around anymore death of the author applies and in my headcanon all eldar women are at least 9 feet tall and have MASSIVE tiddies.
>>97837099It's an elder scrolls meme with the names changed. Also UPDATED KARANDRAS MINI WHEN, THE PHOENIX RANGER SQUAD IS MISSING THEIR GREEN RANGER ASURYANDAMNIT!
>>97837127>jes is gone>now it's coomer townI cast 12 gauge shell to the cranium
>>97837127Those who insult Goodwin's vision for the Eldar ought to be beheaded.
>>97837111It's not the case in Fulgrim, Angel Exterminatus, Valedor, Howl of the banshee, or Jain Zar Doubt it's true of dawn of fire either
Is it strange I want a 40k equivalent to Vivec's Sermons? Some crazy fucknugget who will whore himself to Slaanesh to bite Slaanesh's dick off and graft it onto his own then stab people to death with it.
>Goodwin is gone>all eldar have now is, and God forgive me for uttering it... Gav Thorpe
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
Hey anons. Decalfag and myself have been too busy kissing pretty girls to keep up with the reveals. How much is the new AdMech milf and are the new Skitarii worth using?

Why can't GW write tzeentch and slaneesh?
>>97837186They can't do perfection justice enough for >muh perfect prince
>>97836798>What truth about Warhammer 40k would be the hardest for the entire 40k fanbase to accept?That the Emperor WAS entirely right about everything within the setting, Chaos is evil and not divine, BUT at the same time he never truely cared about humanity.He is a self-serving, god like, bordering on eldritch being whose history can only be guessed at and all of his actions only happen and exist to further his own goals.And as everything stand now, is exactly how he wanted everything to play out, his "loss" to Horus, his internment into the Golden Throne, what the Imperium has stagnated into over the course of 10 000 years of suffering, stagnation, corruption and misery are all intentional and part of the Emperor's of goals.
>>97837186Why can't GW write?
Remember when they looked like german paratroopers?
>>97837186Your hedonistic body hopper proud of his sword skills has arrived.

>>97837186>TzeentchYou have to be smart to write smart characters. >Slaanesh Sex isn't everything there is to her, but trying to remove it entirely makes her followers just look autistic.
>>97837230
>>97837089So true. Had a friend that got about a foot and half thick stack of 8.5x11x1/16 sheets of cardboard free from his job. Built a pile of Mordheim buildings like pic. They lasted about 5 months. The retards putting the terrain away apparently didn't think they should be put back on the shelf. Seemed to them the best place for them was the bottom of a tub then toss solid cast plaster terrain on top.
>>97837238I wish for a return of the Hairmetal aesthetic for the Eldar.
>>97837243Voidscarred had a little of it.
>>97837236AAAAAAA WHAT THE FUCK
>>97837186It's hard to write about scheming god of knowledge who is meant to constantly be 5 steps ahead of everyone else.It's even harder to do that when you yourself aren't that smart, like most BL writers or any writers at GW.As for Slaanesh it's hard to write anything for it because to actually do it proper justice you'd have to write up something that'd basically instantly veer into extremely fucked up shit with very taboo and uncomfortable themes, like rape, body horror, psychological torture, fucked up things happening to kids, for most people to actually fully grasp what Slaanesh is like.
>>97837186Where does Griffith belong?
>>97837243Now that jes is retired I hope he does something cool like an anime. He loves (real) anime.
>>97837261What's his favorite anime?
>>97837243A little practice and some green stuff could let you live the dream.
>>97837208Every scifi setting needs a German influence
>>97837186Reminder that >Changeis Mehrunes Dagon's thing so technically pic would be Tzeentch instead of Khorne. Do more varieties of like Tzeench Daemons that look nearly identical to other factions but have subtle details denoting they're Tzeentch. The "Change" Chaos God shouldn't be so uniform.
>everyone does demons better than gw these daysIf creature caster didn't cost hundreds per model, or I was fantastically rich I'd make an army of em. But then I'd have a literal heart attack every time someone bumped a single model.
>>97837265Patlabor gets mentioned a bunch. I like to think he liked Trigun, because he's based.Eldars are the anime faction, while T'aus are the gunpla/mech anime faction.
>>97837278Did Anaheim cheap out with the Zulus the same way they laughed on the way to the bank after selling Dogas?
>>97837266You want slaanesh lore?
>>97837291Anaheim sure do favor the federation as their cash cow. Plus the are based on the moon
>>978371861. Western writing is inherently flawed 2. The audience that gw caters to, whether that’s Aos, HH, Tow, necromunda, is so fucking low, that even if they tried to write them seriously, would go over most people’s heads.
>>97837052This is not just a wargame you fucking nigger It is a story with a settingI don't care youur dogshit plastic toys, I want stories.You fuckinng nigger

>>97837285The captcha April Fool's Day joke made me realize I don't know any anime memes anymore from like the last 20 years
>>97837043M8, this fucking setting exists for a plastic miniature tabletop war game. The stories you are supposed to enjoy are the ones you make up with your friends as you play your armies against one another.For the hundreth time, 40k is not a fucking story. It is a playground for your plastic dudes to exist in. All the "story" and fluff regarding 40k exists to justify why your dudemen are fighting against your friend's dudemen.
>>97837301We're officially worse than /v/ now, holy shit
Are Sisters the least likely army to take trophies from a defeated army and carry them into their next battle as a point of pride? The way you'd give an Ork a boneblade from a Tyranid for fun.
>>97837198>And as everything stand now, is exactly how he wanted everything to play out, his "loss" to Horus, his internment into the Golden Throne, what the Imperium has stagnated into over the course of 10 000 years of suffering, stagnation, corruption and misery are all intentional and part of the Emperor's of goals.Well since all of that is black library lore, the BL lore also states in the -potential timelines- where the emperor didn't do all that shit, he ended up ascending to daemongodhood and becoming the Dark King and humanity was consumed to fuel his ascension like the efldear.
>>97837317It made me realize that last School Days collab, the girls somehow avoided having lesbian sex or a threesome. Back in their home universe, having threesomes with their boyfriend, their mothers joining, or being raped by their own mother is just a normal day. It's wonderful to see at least they put on their best behavior in other franchises.
>>97837318If that was the fuckiing case you fucking faggot nigger, then why the fuck did theey push beyond m.41? Why did the fall of cadia even happeen?DUMB NIGGER
>>97837301>It is a story with a settingNo, 40k is just a setting.
>>97837301Fuck off videogame nigger
>>97837322Yes, they're Puritans and pretty much everything they'd be fighting would be unclean, so unless it was like some piece of power armour some saint's ball hair touched being worn by a heretic, they're probably not going to keep it as a trophy
>>97837330They moved the setting onwards slightly
>>97837317Now that you mention it... Grim
>>97837326lolnope, they still have threesomes during collab events.
>>97837326This is how I Slaanesh.
>>97837352I can't with this shit
>>97837330>then why the fuck did theey push beyond m.41?Because they wanted to expand the setting. It's not complicated.
>>97837352Kek
>>97837369>expandNo, change. It was a revamp
>>97837379No, it wasn't. They just expanded upon on the setting, nothing more.It's not a reboot or a revamp.
>>97837342Not during the recently ended Kamihime Project collab. They restricted themselves to merely sharing their boyfriend and masturbating to the sounds of each other having sex.
>>978373522005 was a better time.
>>97837388What the fuck?
>>97837384>Not a revamp
>>97836798>TQHEAT AXES HAVE WON

Why is GSC such an unpopular army?
>>97837411>roman>show greek
>>97837411>mfw pic has returned in a 2d sidescroller
>>97837411That's greek
>>97837428Xenos plus horde plus detailed and hard to paint plus expensive plus hard to play well
Is there any way to justify an Admech army that isn't red robes and gray metal? Because they seem like the single army where you have the least options to change colors and stay in-canon.
>>97837456metalica scheme is pretty sick
So wait, the emperor just wants to become Nuffle?
>>97837456My forge world schismed with mars and uses blue insteadEasy
>>97837411fucking retard
>>97837456Dark Mechanicum.
>>97837411Ultramarines would be better if they leaned more on the space Roman angle harder rather than the generic marines.
So how was your last game gentlemen?
>>97837411Romans would be better if we went bowling with them
>>97837456There are other forgeworlds you could go for or come up with your own in any colors you want. But to be fair, Mars scheme is pretty damn sick
>>97837489I'm on a winning streak against my bro, 2-0, can't feel bad though because he steamrolls his own friends most of the time
>>97837428That GSC are inherently unpopular due to their aesthetics, lore and themes as a faction, and at the same time that is fine as is despite them.
>>97837456other forge worlds have all kinds of heraldries, anon
>>97837456Every forgeworld has their own colorscheme. Standard red is Mars, Ryza is yellow + orange, Metallica is black with red accents.You can easily justify a custom colorscheme.

>>97837500Neat, what are you playing, and what is your mate playing?
By the way guys, space marines are atheists and very practical actually.
>>97836814Eldar are a core part of Warhammer 40k and the only people who think elves aren't cool are the very worst breed of imperium fanboys.
>>97836821i wish deathguard still had plague toads, they are comfy. a lot like nurglings.
>>97837545First game at home 800 points I was playing my CSM (cabal of chaos with a daemon prince, a leviathan and some rubrics + a rhino) against his IG (grizzled with the crucible ogryn, two squads of ogryns and that one tank with the d6+6 casino guns), second game at LGS 1000 points still his same IG list + a second tank, but I switched to TS warforged cabal using pretty much the same minis (I like it better at the moment but the new vashtor cult detachment is tempting) prince levi rubrics rhino and added 2 helbrutesthe leviathan ended up causing some seething so for our next game i'm replacing him with a land raider (still in the mail) and i also grabbed 2 chickenbots at the store to cement my army switch.
Just got back from my LGS, they had between 30-50 of those new custodes boxes there are they really this unpoular?
>>97837574Imagine making up all that shit when you don't even own models. Pathetic.
>land raider was actually discovered by some guy called land>astartes were actually invented by some woman named astarteI'm looking forward to the epic backstory of the Lady Usainius Bolt who invented the bolter.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't buy pic related and paint my ultramarines up like 2nd edition ones.
Do people LIKE Admech da Vinci stuff?
>>97837600because you can't paint well enough
>>97836861I love him, I'm going to put him in my Felhammer list. Just by himself, deepstrike in enemy deployment zone as a distraction.
>>97837612I think the wings missed the mark
I'll paint that army one day. The wife just wants to visit her parents for easter...
>>97837600what if you don’t do the style justice and they look like shit? you’ll be a disgrace to grogs and fakegrogs everywhere.
>>97837612I think it has its place, but I'd prefer it as a subfaction rather than the default
>>97837574Always great to start with a friend and get some good grudge matching going. I am currently running my head against a wall with my Wraith host as the one thing I got is good Toughness and my friend only plays Pact bound, so Lethals on 5+ even the damn titan. Why on earth did someone have an issue with the Leviathan? Due to the model or the rules? I Worst case I seem to think its in the ball park of the size of a fiend (Forge mauler) but I might be wrong, you could probably play it as such if you place it on a bigger base if need be. Frankly if he is playing Grizzled company he should really not have any problems.
>>97837612No. I really hate it. The best Admech models imo are the sicarians, the skitarii, the servitors on treads and the dunecrawlers. The da vinci shit is gay
>>97837456Ryza is orange.
>>97837612This sucksBirdmen are fine.
>>97837652Leviathan is only 160 points which is a bit ridiculous with that sheet desu To be quite desu both games were pretty close in fights but I won on VP
Armies by Aesthetic:>Adeptus Mechanicus>Imperial Guard>Orks>Genestealer Cults>Necrons>Imperial Agents>Tyranids without guns>Sisters of Battle>Adeptus Custodes>Space Marines>Leagues of Votann>Imperial Knights>Harlequins>Chaos Knights>Drukhari>Tau>Chaos Daemons>Chaos Space Marines>Tyranids with guns>Eldar
>>97837612I think it's a pretty catastrophic failure to create a faction identity. When you say "mechanicus", most people will probably think of freaky transhuman tech-priests, but the army is 90% Skitarii with a much sillier retro-futuristic vibe...
>>97837600>nostalgia colorsIf they are going to go for real true nostalgia that bottle of flesh wash better leak all over the bottom of your paint box. I swear the bottom of my old paint box is a fucking layer of dried flesh wash. If that fucker tipped over out it leaked.
>>97837673A man with taste this horrible belongs exactly in this thread.
>>97837672It also gets Dark Pact which is easily abusable.
>>97836962>40k is unlikely to make any big waves in JapanAt this point, this has more to do with the completely raped yen than with Gundam's quality.Most of 40k isn't big stompy robots and has no competition from Bandai's stuff, though 40k's robots are mogged to death by Gundams in basically every part but external greeble.Whether Bandai will be able to break into tabletop wargames with its new model line is a different question, though.
>>97837673Either b8 or genuinely horrid taste in aesthetics.
>>97837672Yeah alright its probably a bit much for 1000 points but I have seen more absurd things being shoved into 1000 by people. >>97837695Yeah true stacking rules ontop of all that would make it very crazy to deal with.
Hear me out, what if the dark mechanicum actually praised the human form and attempted to retain it, unlike the admech.Also they should wear togas.
>>97837702I can't even imagine how horrid the money for plastic ratio for GW products is in japan given how here in EU it is already utterly preposterous. 5 man squad of dire avengers costs nearly 40 fucking euros.
>>97837727>unlike the admech>describes something the admech doesBruh
i FUCKING HATE salamanders and ravenguard. Fuck you fucking assholes, its all your fault. i will not elaborate.
>>97837741They wear very weirdly tailored robes, not togas.

You know guys, you don't have to the paint pupils for tabletop minis.
>tqnot for the community as a whole but for one of my armies.Sanguinius gets overrated and overblown by everyone but especially BA players. His death was not the most most important nor is he the Imperium’s space jesus (that would be the Emperor for both) and yes both these things should be obvious to everyone else but other BA players have a hard time accepting it. Yes I have even seen BA players claim that Sanguinius' death was more important than the Emperor’s sacrifice and that Sangy was more important to the Imperium than the person that literally fucking made him. Hell, even his elevation to Emperor Regent in Imperium Secundus gets twisted into all his brothers sucking him off when in reality both Guilliman and the Lion had rejected the title for themselves and were just trying to shift public responsibility onto someone else while both tried to keep the real power for themselves. Since saying anything less than laudatory about fabulous hawkboy is frowned upon I'm counting it.
>>97837795The Hanged
>>97837428>Eldar + Deldar is the third biggest factionwtf i thought nobody played elves
>>97837428It sucks being a Mechanicus fan, huh?
>>97837815As a wise artist once said>you don't have to draw an eye>you can draw the idea of an eye

>>97837003BRING BACK THE VRIGGERS!
>>97837428Looking at the range I'm not surprised.It's a bit like a necromunda gang with a 40k range. It's a mix of specific themes that make it very niche>human alien hybrid>cult>minersI'd actually be surprised if it ranked higher in popularity.
>>97836798>TQChaos is a force so monstrous it requires an institution like the Imperium to resist itThe Imperium is an institution so monstrous it requires an elemental force like Chaos to resist it
>>97837750It's me. I am this meme.My guys are called the Dawn Coyotes.
Having an issue bros. I'm trying to make sure that these arms match up with the controls in the sentinel; are the hands supposed to match up with his belt? I'm trying to dryfit it but sadly I kinda cucked myself by building the front panel first.Can any guardfags help me out?
>>97837428Every army that has a Codex and a Combat Patrol but is below Chaos Daemons should be deeply ashamed.
>>97836952As plausible as this is you have to also remember that a lot of video games came out like total war warhammer.I do genuinely want proof that is so indisputable that it is "beyond reasonable doubt" level.Like a CEO saying something.Charts can be fabricated. Or used to push theories.
>>97837827This was my realization a couple threads back when someone posted this. If GW could have gotten Ynnari to work they would have had another sales juggernaut on their hands. But I don't think the two kinds of space elf players actually have as much cross over as they think.
>>97837878Get some bluetack, helps you figure out how things fit without gluing. You don't have to figure this out now, better wait than fuck up right nowt. guardfag
>>97837883Peachy has done some interviews with other former GW employees and one thing they all corroborated was that GW was very close to shuttering their doors and the one-two punch of the Primaris Marines and their new contrast paint line pushing hard on "easy to paint" advertising helped make their playerbase explode and saved the company.
Should I paint Lhykhis' armor black or a very dark blue?>>97837750My chapter are called the Victorious Fists.
>>97836952As someone who don't like the standard MkX marine look, I still believe primaris marines can be good very easily, and all it takes is changing the design to something smoother/cleaner. Pic related.
>>97837428Let me guess, necrons are the cheese faction.
>>97837913black with dark blue edge highlighting. Or dark blue with a lighter blue highlight ( i did this for my genestealers)
>>97837827>adding them together to raise them upcome on dude
>>97837792>suncrushers>coal hearts>borean butchers
>>97837428> Chaos daemons higher than black templar/sisters/drukhari/knights AND Grey knightswhy the fuck did they cut their codex? I fucking knew daemons were more popular than GW suggested.
>>97837003Oh and the dark mechanicum parts here are also interesting>infernal artillery>daemonic siege engines>omni auxilia
>>97837342What anime?
>>97836798The fact that most factions have nuance and aren't 100% right OR 100% wrong (even if they often lean that way) is apparently very controversial with parts of the community
>>97836952I thought it was contrat paints
>>97837885The bigger redpill is realizing that instead of ghost elves they should have done exodites, because the 'elf' part of exodites isn't actually relevant to thhe army (except as a framing device) and the actual audience it would attract are people with dinosaur autism.
>>97837939>borean butchers>ittnot any more lmao
>>97837954isnt their a rumour that they are doing exodites for kill team? same rumor also said they are doing legion of the damned models for KT
>>97837928You would be on the right track.
>>97837428What do you mean? All the answers are staring you smack dab in the face. I'm sitting here wondering what would make you think they were suppose to be popular.
>>97837964>gets killed on primary and scores zero secondaries
>>97837943they're a soup faction and they want to divide their units to be part of the deity legions like they are in AoS
>>97837428>Imperial Guard almost top 3
When are they bringing all the cool aos demons over already?
>>97837971i wish they would hurry up and fucking do it then, i want some new daemon models.GW has just left them in this retarded limbo state atm.
>>97837977If GW had a brain they would have some new daemon models to release around the same time as boltgun 2.
There, I fixed half of what sucks with marines
>>97837988Now just remove cawl from canon, girlyman, the indomitus shit and everything else gay. Like the necrons.
>>97837956he will live on eternal hereunlike (you) /v/ermin
>>97837947Except Dark Eldar. They are 150% wrong and that's part of their appeal.

>>97837997>cawlWho?
>>97837988You forgot to get rid of the knee flanges, ankley balls, and the the weird earflaps. Otherwise alright.
>>97837881Sisters being basically the same as daemons is wild but I get why>basically can't use your faction ability if you roll shit, it just serves to fuel stratagems and abilities>no lascannons or snipers or anything with more range than a heavy bolter>one detachment is litterally just 1:1 of Marines but you could just do better if you used Marines anyway>raped by bolters>expensive money-wise>the sheer amount of details make slapchoppers cry
Does /yourdudes/' fluff acknowledge the existence of primaris as being separate from fistborn?
Theoretically, who wins this?
>>97838011except daemon models are soulful af, and sisters are lame.
>>97838020Phoenix Lords are theoretically just a little bit below Primarchs in power level, but mechanically on tabletop it's not even close and Lion would annihilate her.
>>97838017>whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, 'Where's Poochie?

>>97838005
>>97838020As always: "Who is writing this?"
>>97837963There's been Exodites Kill-Team rumors for like a year and half now that sound an awful like wishful thinking. Watch then show up in a box set as one big model on a dinosaur for another Nemesis box like the Terror on Devlan.
>>97838017>MarinesYes, they look down on the Chapters that are still Firstborn and enjoy 'repossessing' wargear from them.>Chaos MarinesYes, they view Primaris as a cruel joke played upon the Legions of old by Guilliman, a mockery of what Marines can truly be, and a sign of how weak the Imperium has become>EldarA Space Marine with a new helmet is still a Space Marine. They will die the same.
>>97838048>want to grab the new guard kit>realize it's only gonna be a KT box for a while making you pay 2-3 buck extra for cardboardfuck this shit
>>97838045Gav Thorpe
>>97838004Damn, look at that shitter. DAYUM.
Now hang on a sec, gw did something cool while I wasn't lookin->KTOh..
>>97838020I can't think of Zar without remembering my 1st ever 40k game in 2nd ed.>my Guard vs Eldar>Jain Zar comes up to the back of my russ and hits it in the muffler>roll damage, hull lascannon destroyed>lol how can you take out something in the front hitting the rear?>Yolo let's do this>throw russ in reverse >Zar basically dodges anything on like a 2+>opponent rolls a 1So Jain Zar died getting ran over by a Russ in reverse.
>>97838064Gav Thorpe?She and 400 other banshees die to get one shot to "avert fate" and wound the lion... but fail because that one shot is blocked by a Fallen sacrificing his life to protect him.This causes an entire craftworld to explode and get raped by 666666 demons. Imperials recover a mcguffin from the wreckage of the Eldar that fixes the cicatrix maledictum, which completes the prophecy of the farseers just not in the way they expected.
>>97838052>'repossessing' wargear from them.That reminds me, anyone else think it's stupid that surplus for primaris (who are significantly taller than firstborn) is just firstborn armor marks with some of MK. X's key features?
>>97838088crazy story unc fr fr
>>97838089Too good for Gav Thorpe, letting the Farseer actually be right about anything.
>>97838020She died to some shitty Night Lords. Lion would smear the floor with her guts.
>>97838045the only writer letting her win is some fucking elfdarifag here on 40kg
Hellblaster status?
THEY SHITCANNED SHADOW SPECTRES?!
>>97838091>who are significantly taller than firstbornthis is fake news
>>97838020Lion because he has plot armor and because there's not a single GW writer that seems willing to give eldar a win of any kind
>>97838088>>97838121Funny enough Jain Zar has never actually won any major duels or fights on her own, and despite being the most utilized Phoenix Lord she's almost always lost and/or died.
>>97838129you had 3 decades to buy a squad
>>97838129Someone better make a 3rd party STL
>>97838142I was gonna buy one eventually...
>TQThat Space Wolves are the greatest faction in the setting.
>>97838121>Lion would smear the floor with her guts.Nuh uh, she doesn't HAVE any guts!
>>97838017Yes. Most of the chapter that was alive when torchbearers reached them have crossed the rubicon primaris, but for cultural reasons they only let you do it if badly injured. New marines start primaris now and they’re just now having the first crop of neophytes made entirely that way become full marines.
>>97838121She solo'd a whole night lord group and the last night lord had to allahu akbar himself to kill her say things as they actually were
>>97838137She beat Drazhar, but only after she got some shitty video game power-up from Ynnead.
>>97838155Stoakes
>>97836798>TQTaste is subjective, so just because you personally don't like a faction it doesn't mean they're objectively bad.
do you think you could choke a daemon to death? do they need air to survive in the material plane?
>>97838155So what are you submitting for the collage?
>>97838176me fat 'airy arse
Is there a reason given why humans and Tau, who weren't made by the Old Ones, also have the same body shape as Eldar, Orks, and Necrons?
>>97838180Not even a crucible character? Do you even paint?

>>97838185>weakest LegionThey held up the dark angels. They're not the word bearer or raven guard
>>97838190hi typhus
>>97838207>Word BearersWord Bearers are one of the strongest Chaos Legions to exist, to the point Abaddon has to beg them for help with his Crusades.Raven Guard admittedly are jobbers and losers though.
>>97838170They don't need air, but they're able to be harmed with symbology so you probably could strangle one to death if you had high will power.
>>97838190>space wolves fan has constant diarrhea from all the fast food slop he eatsvery unsurprising.
>>97838181Humans arose from Old One stock. Tau maybe did as well, and the Eldar interfered with their evolution.
>>97837090
>>97838215That's more to do with them fracturing the least of all traitor legions and them seeding tones if chaos cults more so than their actual strength as legionaries
>>97838216Do you think if you surgically amputate a daemonette's limbs and submerge her in a vat of hot sauce she would start crying and begging for death at some point or would she just enjoy it
>>97838230>would she just enjoy itThat one.
Finished my crucible character. This and a space wolf getting eviscerated will be my collage entries
>all these collage posts recently>i-i kneel>forgive my weakness, All Daddy

>>97837878If you’re going to paint before gluing, will be tricky. But for tight spots like that, I usually test fit dry to learn where my fingers need to press and hold, then glue on all places and yolo it. Plastic cement, you have some time before it truly bonds

>>97838244
>>97838142>I have to buy every model I like because they may go OoPNo
I imagine 11th’s Chaos Marine releases will tie into Perturabo’s return with how hard they’re telegraphing it. The Defiler kit telegraphing the Word Bearer’s getting shit too is crazy though, I imagine Erebus getting a model would be used in so many battlefield trophy conversions.
>>97838271Painting is art. It's not a videogame stat where it only levels in one direction. Sometimes you nail it, sometimes it just isn't working. Sometimes it seems like your painting is getting worse, but that's also because you are keenly aware of every little thing that isn't going right on your current model, and a lot of those smaller things are mostly forgotten on your previous ones.
>>97838365If Iron Warriors become a separate army what units will they get?Breachers and some kind of siege daemon?
>>97837428Everything below space wolves on this list (besides Black Templars, which is weird that they're that low,) is either a Skew Faction, or hard to paint. Mechanicus and Genestealers are that low because you need to paint a LOT of difficult models to get to 2000 points.
Who's the best scientist?>Random Admech Tech-Priest>Random Votann engineer>Random Earth Caste scientist>Random Mekboy>Random I-don't-know-what-the-Eldar-equivalent-is
>>97838375Is Sisters really that much of a skew faction?
>>97838374That’d make the most sense. I’d give them a demonic Siege Leviathan Dread if I was in charge of giving them bespoke models.
>>97837878Finished! Just need to choose weapons and then add the top for an armored sentinel if I want to switch between the two; I saw how you don't need to glue it down.How'd I do?
>>97838348>Has anyone read the new apostle book? Is it worth picking up?No, the prose is bland.and we don't really learn anything of note, other than the Word Bearers can apparently make new Marines in a matter of weeks.
>>97838378Probably the earth caste.
>>97838251>fighting at the cadian gateisn't it a little late for that? like several hundred years too late?
>>97838380From my understanding running regular Sisters is so points inefficient that you don’t make an army out of them, you runs lots of war suits and tanks. It’s not that you don’t run any, but they aren’t a major focus.
>>97838382Not impressive.
>>97838381I've also been thinking about some kind of daemon-engine/slave chaff battleline unit since they look down on Chaos itself.Like they somehow forcibly stitch together some blue horrors with nurglings or whatever and use them as cannon fodder.
>>97838387The Cadian Gate is the Systems around Cadia (or now what remains of it). Apparently it’s still a major highway in and out of the Warp, but don’t quote me on that.
>>97837977Same time as when the Chamonite Mecrophiles of Vashtorr hit AoS
>>97838378The closest CWE equivalent is probably a bone singer, insomuch as they are the ones that build ships and vehicles. There maybe entire paths dedicated to more traditional sciences, but we don't really ever see that sort of thing.
>>97838239>Space Wolf getting obliterated Would never be canon you weakling
I sort of like Imperial Guard but I also sort of like Iron Warriors CSM but I also really like Necrons. Hard to pick a faction to invest into. I don't even play the tabletop but I just like buying and painting some models here and there.
>>97838349and I love orks :D
>>97838410Their greatest character is literally a space wolf that didn't get fully obliterated, bjorn the fell-handed, because it was such a feat that he didn't get oblitated like how the rest of his chapter does.
>>97838399i thought the whole thing fell into the big galaxy wide warp storm when cadia itself was blown up?
>>97838410how did your totally real game go
>>97838382Looks good Anon.
>>97838429Apparently not, if there is some fluff that says that anywhere it’s been retconned by the Eye of Terror campaign books
>>97838432We didn’t play, I brought all the required terrain, mats ,dice and models so we could play but we instead set everything up which took some time and then my brother came over so we player that Sonic Racing game and then watched English JJK and an episode of that new show from the creator of FMA. We gonna play the game tomorrow instead.
>>97838405>>97838378Random Ancient Haemonculus would probably be a better example since they are masters of both practical and esoteric sciences and have been practicing and experimenting for 10000 years on every species and stolen technology in the galaxy with no heresy or limits to their endeavors.
>>97838443>I played that sonic racing gameI’m starting to notice patterns here.
>>97838443kek
>>97838383I knew gw's writing was from anything respectable but dang.. however i'd like to know more if you're willing to spill more beans i like the space shlomos.
>>97838375Are drukhari a skew army or just hard to paint in your estimation?
>>97837428they should just squat all the inquisition factions into one already
>>97838456It was actually surprisingly fun
>>97838048>that sound an awful like wishful thinkingFatrak said they're happening
>>97838443Can you post one of the "many things" that you've kitbashed now?
>>97838488Can you post anything at all you tertiary twit?
>>97838489I can post my kitbashed wolf guard, but first I'm gonna need you to post one of your many kitbashes.
>>97838443>>97838489I second you posting your kitbashes (if they exist)
>New Defiler nearly costs the same as a knight>160mm base to ensure it's as awkward and clumsy as possible when used on actual boards.>Rules otherwise aren't even that amazing>Sold out in minutesHow does he do it? How does he persuade people to pay out plus tip and beg for the privilege?
>>97838489>>97838495I could also post my kitbashed overlord instead, if you'd like, but still... Many things, zero photos?
>>97838459There's not really much to tell. All the Word Bearers save the main character and his apothecary friend die in the first chapter, so you don't get much information about the Word Bearers generally.
>>97837896>2 hours ago Sorry I had a bit of a family reunion dinner and the guests have now left. Can I have a link to that ex-GW big shot interview, please?I really want proofs of it. I really want this evidence badly now.>very close to shuttering their doorsBetter fate than being bought out and mistreated worse than what the worst mistreated IP is being handled. But I do wonder what country's culture is best for owning the Warhammer IP.
>>97838507Most people buying minis are buying it because it looks good.Competitive tourneyfags obsessed with waacfaggotry are irrelevant.
>>97838507It's a cool model.
>>97838507>coolest part of Chaos Marines is Demon Engines>release a fuck off huge Demon Engine that could cap off any flavor of Chaos Marine army you want >people like itIt’s not that hard to understand.
>painting a face on my guard>Fumble painting the eyes (I always fucking do) and it looks ridiculous.Yea I get I am trying to paint guardsman and ratlings eyes, but fuck me is it a morale breaker when I fuck it up. Its especially bad if fucking caps and hats get in the way.
>>97838252ah, a Jacketfreak fan
>>97838495nta but here's one of mine, so by all means do go ahead and post one of yours.
>>97838532If you aren’t already, I’d spend the money to get real hair detail brushes. Synthetic brushes genuinely do suck bad for those small details. If you already have those, then unfortunately it is simply a skill issue and you can only learn by experience.
>>97838463Hard to paint, it's difficult to get your brush anywhere near the models.
Rejoice, People of Scalp have come to save the day for those who missed out on the Defiler, only selling it at a slight markup.Pay up.
which army/faction is the most catholic
>>97838549who the fuck you think nigger
>>97838549Word Bearers
>>97838537Impeccable and inconceivably based taste. Honestly surprised he hasn't done one with the Mortifiers given that he is the permanent bondage king.
>>97838538No can do, decalmutant needs to post one of the "many things" he claimed (read: lied) to have kitbashed.
>>97838020Phoenix Lords, like Avatar of Khaine are narrativeky handicapped by the fact they can "Come back". Ad such they will almost never win, they just serve as an opponent for the character to be scared of until their skills catch them a lucky break abd they kill the Phoenix Lord by the skin of their teeth for the 6th time.
i'm using this month's collage as an opportunity to experiment, just in case no one laughs at my jokes
>>97838554Catholic Answer>>97838557Protestant Answer
>>97838565We both know he isn't going to, but it's good for the thread to set an example.
>>97838542I would get the much better brushes, but I do not wish to support the farming of sable and other things like that.
>>97838549None of them because GW writers don't know theology and just grab surface level aesthetics and terminology for their setting. People will say SoB, but this is like claiming Eldar are the "most Taoist" faction because they are tangentially related to paths, reincarnation, and come with yin and yang decals.
>>97838410what are you doing for the collage, anon?
>>97838579This month as a whole will have plenty of kitbashing examples, now that I think of it. Almost every collage submission will have some kitbashing involved.>tfw not only will the collage be full of people painting space wolves to a higher standard than him, it'll also be full of people doing more kitbashing than the mutant's ever done
I hate other eldar players for not being actual lore autists, I have been pushing on a project for a Corsair army of just outcasts. Sadly, the HQs need to be played as Autarchs or Yriel with no proper rules for generic prince/princess but and corsairs aren’t that hard they have the full Eldar vehicle armory just in using only rangers/corsairs but the armies I’m seeing made are so awkward They don’t even make up lore for corsairs supporting craft worlds it’s just a horrible mix of aspects and outcasts
>>97838603/yourdudes/ are an imperial thing first with everyone else kinda following but not much
>>97838603I find corsairs being fast raiders who happen to have the full brunt of eldar fire power be their niche so funny these niggas are pirates with laser destroyer gun tanks
>>97838603Corsairs should have remained a Kill Team. >but they've been in the lore since early editions!So have Harlequins, yet we only got a half-baked range for them too.
>>97838592i bet he wont be doing hellblasters
>>97838603Holy shit are you a forge world guy? I rarely see a full outcast fanboy >>97838612Suck cocks
>>97838387It has only been 12 years since Cadia fell. The nearby systems in the Cadian Gates are still holding.
>>97838612Lmao corsairs are better off even the older stuff we are only missing barons/princes We have the basic Corsair unit, corsair elite unit and Corsair jump packs now and they had the full eldar armory of tanks/flyers too also rangers
>>97838613A space wolf hellblaster that's failed it's gets hot check would be pretty funny and fitting
>>97838612Corsairs are actually fine now and have good detachments too GW were smart and even had ranger units benefit from it plus corsairs have full access to a lot of vehicles unlike harlequins
>>97838627What I wanna see from this collage is someone slapping "SPACE WOLVES TRANSFER" on a vehicle that's running over a SWigger.
>>97838616>>97838625Harlequins have infinitely more flavor than Corsairs, they should have gotten the love instead of adding yet another half-baked Eldar subfaction.
>>97838616Yes, I’m probably even gonna do sky raiders everyone seems to be doing sun blitz brotherhood
>>97838638I agree but as a corsair fan I think their inclusion is one of the best modern updates we have seen
>>97838638What else do you want? Corsairs got 3 units, a new light attack vehicle + rangers and other units fall under them easily
>>97838636as funny as it that would be, ain’t no way anyone is buying and painting a tank just for a gag.
>>97838638Harlequins look more half baked in comparison corsairs got new units and vehicles
>>97838648Yeah, that's my same consensus. I have a space wolves transfer sheet, but I'm not buying a vehicle just for shits and giggles. And I'd also just freehand the text on instead of using a decal, so that point about the transfer sheet is moot.
>>97838636idk, maybe an ork player. devoting a vehicle for a decalmutant joke is a bit much with official plastic
>>97838603Eldar players truly don’t care while most marine fans would rape you for daring to not make a flavorful army
>>97838658>most marine fansMost marine fans just play first-founding chapters, though.
>though
>>97838613LOL! Brother you need to consider a career in comedy!…/s
How many people here would be interested in filling out a "how to paint" guide for the 40k brown elf chart? Paint guides for other varieties of chocolate eldar were floated out as an idea at the start of this thread.
>>97838665Not really
>>97838670why do you care though
>>97838675
>>97838673post hellblasters
>>97838686Hellblasters though?
>>97838616I need a repository of all good PDF scans of all the ForgeWorld books please.>>97838675I am very interested, anon.I'm surprised a color hex to wargaming/scale model acrylic paint converter hasn't been made yet.I am not sure how accurate website presentation is to the actual colour in real life and then there is screen settings to worry about as not all monitor computer settings are the same as real eye vision.
>>97838670back to the sharty you go
>>97838692it's from /int/ though
>>97838651Which is why they should have been fleshed out instead of/before Ynnari and Corsairs. I won't speak of the poor deldar players getting an entire chunk of their army axed the same edition yet another niche addition to CWE was introduced. I just want GW to fucking finish what they start, then move on to shiny new things.
>>97838692Sharty doesn’t allow warhammer they treat it like anime
>>97838698>Jes Goodwin I mean, they're not wrong though.
image limit though >>97838709>>97838709>>97838709
>>97838673>/sI don't think you could even get more cringe if you tried
>>97838690I did >>97836840 by using the color-copy tool in paint.net, but the biggest problem is that online swatches are not always true to life.I'll whip up a version of the brown elf chart that has space for people to add in their recipes for each skin tone.
>>97838698>Sharty doesn’t allow warhammerI mean I don't blame them. The Warhammer 40k fanbase's insufferable numbers have eclipsed the reasonable fans a long time ago. Probably when the first Dawn of War came out. So I don't blame them.I would love to see their 40k jaks if they make any.
>>97838391They actually do a lot for the points, its just that they are low damage. Against some enemies the invuln save is absurd and against others its nothing because their 80 point units hit you with 60 attacks per phase. Sisters horde is BAD but definitely playable if you want. I think the worst thing about it is BSS are a monopose kit AND painting 150 sisters infantry sounds brutal.
