>>98062807>TQGoffs, it will always be goffs. My wazdakka is going to be painted all black, with a few flames of course
Honor
>>98062807>Evil sunz edition>Orks are yellow and blueWut
>>98062827Nu Kantor needs to be in full mk6 armour not shit gravis.
I like orks and I like this thread :D >>98062807>TQI’d say human larping blood axes are my favorite, but freebooter pirates are a close second.
What are the recommended subassemblies for Hernkyn Pioneers?
>>98062833>he doesn’t know about the thunda crunchaz
>>98062834Gravis cooler, mk6 is dogshit and worst looking fucking armor in existance.
>>98062855You will not be missed.
Can someone explain how Ork clans work? Are they like Space Marine Chapters, that each has their own cultural gimmick? As far I understand, certain units are more likely to belong to a clan (Bikers being Red Sunz, Lootas being Deathskulls, Flash Gitz are Bad Moons, etc.but this is not a hard rule.
>>98062860I'm not leaving.
>>98062855worst taste of all time.
>>98062846Been a while since I build mine, not sure if you can really keep the riders off since they are glued around the seat. Definitely keep the grav wheels and suspension off.
>>98062855Bait used to be believable, like when
Stop me from starting and never finishing a bajillionth army
>>98062855I'm sorry your father doesn't love you
>this cool thing sucks actuallyTerrible bait
>ork thread>already ruined by marinefag armour autism
I've decided to return home and do the ritual.
>>98062879You don't have enough space to store them all properly
>>98062896mk6 isn't cool.It's fucking conefaced retardation made manisfest by fucking idiots with zero fucking taste.>but muh bascinet Those look like shit as well.
>>98062913Why did you feel the post was about you?
>>98062898We need more armor autism in more factions
>>98062913Im sorry that you were molested as a child.
can anon who got the painted terrain last thread tell us if its actually 3d printed, or if the lines are from the paint itself?
>>98062834That's not even gravis armor, you fucking retard.If you're gonna hate primaris armor at least be fucking accurate about it, dipshit.
>>98062927>terrain clearly on sprues>HURR IS THIS 3D PROONTED???
>>98062923>starts to talk about child molestation unpromptedNot a good look.
>>98062933okay, then why does it look like complete shit?
>>98062827>>98062834i'd rather have no kantor than primarishit kantor
>>98062933>go through the effort of making terrain>don't even bother to remove layer lines for your mold "masters"Honestly even worse.To imagine people pay for this "quality".
Anyone have the new dan abnett book?
>>98062942Primaris Kantor will look cool, and he will be in Gravis armor.
>>98062938It's some sort of chemical process, probably akin to printing.>>98062944>plastic injection>mastersKill youself tourist.
>>98062927if that’s real, then there ain’t no way they’re releasing proper prepainted minis.
>>98062968check last thread, its real
>>98062863It all just kind of sorts itself out. They are the most psychic of the races, so everything is emergent
>>98062807>What's your favorite Ork Kulture?death skulls , though Kult of Speed if we're talking the cross clan sub groupsblood axes are also pretty cool
>>98062863>As far I understand, certain units are more likely to belong to a clan (Bikers being Red Sunz, Lootas being Deathskulls, Flash Gitz are Bad Moons, etc.but this is not a hard rule.pretty much this, the clans tend to have certain predispositions and even some minor differences like bad moons growing teeth faster, but you can find a bit of everything in each klan (there are snakebite meks, they just focus more on reliable and simple tech rather than fancy stuff, etc etc)
>>98062863you pretty much got it, but there are also tribes/families that work as successor chapters who take inspiration from their original klan, but can also have boyz from every klan, so for example, the big moon tribe is led by a warboss from the bad moon klan, but is full of boyz from different klans like bad moons, deathskulls, and snakebites.
Does admech work if you go really hard on skitarii? I know nothing about admech but I want to field a horde of worthless slaves
>>98062927nta but if I understood correctly it's a regular sprue that is then "coated" by thin layers of paint. Think of it as "printed paint"
>>98062863Clans and their behaviors are hard coded into Ork DNA. Goffs will always spawn more Goffs, Deathskullz more Deathskullz, etc. However a Waaagh or a warband can be made up of many different clans.>As far I understand, certain units are more likely to belong to a clan (Bikers being Red Sunz, Lootas being Deathskulls, Flash Gitz are Bad Moons, etc.but this is not a hard rule.Correct. Due to the behavior associated with a clan being genetic, different clans have preferences on modes of war that will manifest in what kind of weapons, tactics, and vehicles they use, but it is not an absolute. The same is true for subkulturs like Speed Freeks and Beast Snaggas. Evil Sunz and Snakebites will tend to have more of these, respectively, but they can show up in any clan.
>um actually he's not very strong>um actually he's not humanity's last best hope, he killed everyone better than him>um actually all his powers are stolen from the warp>um actually his sons aren't even his, just look at vulkan and khan>um actually he's if hitler, stalin and thatcher had a baby>um actually he's the reason it's shit to live on any imperial world and you die at 22 from the smog produced at the wheat factory and get turned into soilent green, everywhere's an extraction economy for terra and his webway which failed btw like all IRL attempts at creating a utopia, a dystopia, just look at ultramar if you want to see a real utopia made by someone who cares>um actually the eldar, necrons, orks, tyranids and t'au are fighting defensive wars and 99% of battles are against imperials he made go traitor by being a shitty personWhy do some people think like this?He's justsome blokewho lived 12,000 years ago and did an Alexander the Great on steroids before befalling a Greek tragedy and then humanity did the rest both before and after he existed.What's the point of saying he's some final boss villain responsible for everything bad in the setting who also wasn't capable of doing anything? He's not Morgoth or Sauron and he's definitely not one of the four chaos gods.
>>98062863>Flash Gitz are Bad Moons>The pirate unit belongs to Bad Moons>not freebooterzAnon...
>>98062998It's because powercreep bullshit has really settled into the setting, now you have to have custodes moving at lightspeed slaughtering space marines in the hundreds singlehandedly even though most things in the setting are supposed to really just be cannon fodder.
>>98062863Each ork clan go harder into a specific aspect of ork personalities. They are centered around a color that is associated with it.>Yellow is Wealth>Red is speed>Blue is luck>Black is strengthetc.So greedy/wealth centered orks will gravitate towards bad moonz, speed freaks to evil sunz, though orks to goff, etc.And green? Green is best.
>>98062913I don't think primaris armour existing means you can criticise beaks.Not that beakies aren't the coolest thing ever.
>>98063007freebooterz aren’t an actual klan, its an umbrella term for any ork who is outcast from regular orks. most flash gitz freebooterz are former flash git bad moons who’ve been kicked out for being too annoying.
Primaris has beakies tho
>>98063019Imagine that one ork autist that REALLY likes plasma guns or something
>>98063026They also have women and black people if you go by the upgrade sprues.
Why it take almost 3 hours to assemble models?
>>98063037Because you'll buy it anyway bitch
>>98062955>>plastic injection>>masters>Kill youself tourist.That's even worse then.They machined the molds and they still somehow put in fucking layer lines when there are supposed to be fucking none.
>>98063027that’s the real reason kaptain badrukk was outcast from the bad moons. he was obsessed with carrying around his cancer causing plasma gun, so they gave him the charge of “too rich” instead of “reckless retard”, so he’d take it as a point of pride and leave without any fuss.
>>98063008>powercreep bullshit when did it set in? Because i've noticed that this autistic bs abaut how powerlevels of a fictious character is now way more prevalent then it used to beyond "Vegeta vs Superman" bs>custodes moving at lightspeed slaughtering space marines in the hundreds singlehandedlyDidn't a couple of Custodes got killed by a bunch of Harlequins?
>>98063078I think the custodes being killed by clowns is oldish lore, isn't it? It's really fucking annoying anyway, like people can accept a rhino being torn open like a tincan but something like a custodes in big heavy power armour can move like a blur and bisect ten marines before their hearts can finish a single beat or whatever the fuck.
>>98062834The historical records of the 40th millennium are very confusing.
>>98063087>custodes getting killed by clowns is oldish loreIt had to be Dark Imperium, they were delivering some missive from the Ynnari about healing rawbutt iirc.
>>98063103Didn't it happen in Throneworld? That's part of the War of the Beast series from 2016.
>>98063109>War of the Beast series from 2016stop making me feel old
>>98063109I must be getting shit mixed up. War of the Beast I thought was earlier than that though, damn.
>>98062998>What's the point of saying he's some final boss villain responsible for everything bad in the setting who also wasn't capable of doing anything?It's to ruin the Emperor's character and make him look retarded.It's that fucking simple.In the past the Emperor was just a man born with immense psychic super powers who had lived amongst humanity in the shadows for thousands of years, and had seen what humanity had managed to do and then saw all of it crash and burn and not for any fault of our own. And he had to get his hands dirty and do horrible things to save humanity.Now he is some cheat and a tyrant whose entire plan is just vaguely "something", because the writers have basically turned the Emperor into a schizo plot device who had contradictatory plans within plans within plans.And on top of this there's also the implications that the Emperor is in reality a fucked up evil god of humanity because of the whole Dark King dogshit that was introduced in End and the Death. Aka, humanity has created their own Slaanesh situation.And GW entirely retconned the entire Terminus Decree to be something where the Grey Knights SOMEHOW need to keep/put the Emperor back on the Throne. Even though if he ever gets up from that chair.Even that makes zero fucking sense, since whatever is rising from that Throne, is going to be full GOD and the Emperor still would have his CUSTODES who are both genetically and spiritually INCAPABLE encoded to be 100% loyal to HIM and HIM only and cannot go against the Emperor's will and would follow him no matter what he has become.And this is just the natural and logical end point of any long running IP, because the people who originally created the IP, are no longer working at the company, meaning the entire vision and basic themes are going to be lost. And last year, Jes finally retired, meaning it is only going to get worse from here.
>>98063026This looks like shit too.
>>98062998>um actually he's not very strongNo he's very strong. Nobody is refusing that. Horus needed all four cgs to have a shot at him.>um actually he's not humanity's last best hope, he killed everyone better than himYes>um actually all his powers are stolen from the warpKind of he's a warp gestalt. A combination of souls glued together. The cgs are just bigger ones >um actually his sons aren't even his, just look at vulkan and khanDepends on your definition of "his" he's their creator, but he didn't raise them and he's not their biological dad as they weren't made in that way....so actually no he's not their father.>um actually he's if hitler, stalin and thatcher had a babyIn what way?>um actually he's the reason it's shit to live on any imperial world and you die at 22 from the smog produced at the wheat factory and get turned into soilent green, everywhere's an extraction economy for terra and his webway which failed btw like all IRL attempts at creating a utopia, a dystopia, just look at ultramar if you want to see a real utopia made by someone who caresYes, but guilliman is a fag with plot armor. >um actually the eldar, necrons, orks, tyranids and t'au are fighting defensive wars and 99% of battles are against imperials he made go traitor by being a shitty personEldar and necrons yes, orks Tau and nids no. 99% of the battles are just against former imperials he refused to negotiate with because he's a rigid self righteous asshole who never compromises on anything unless there's a bigger gun right in his face. Then he has to use his words
>Time to prime a model>Open garage door and get the spray can ready>This appearsGo fuck yourself.
>>98062807I like orks :DI for one am a Blood Axe enjoyer.Here's my Nob I oainted recently.
>>98063121Most of these "nuh uhs" are just nulore dogshit that you're trying to justify nulore dogshit.Old version of the Horus Heresy and the Emperor are still the superior versions.
One day Freebooterz will get a whole range in the same way of cult legions.
>>98063122get the kighter and Give it the most expensive death.
>>98062807>TQEvil Sunz/Speed Freaks.>>98063129Blood Axes are a close second, I think historical/treadhead Orks are sick as hell. Nice work on those checks.
>>98063142what i'm looking at? besides anime tits i mean...
>>9806311540k died when 5th dropped.The original dudes that made it started to leave and the ones left clearly needed the other guys to keep them on check.
>>98063142*LIGHTER fuck
>>98063129awesome, I’m actually painting my first green shirted blood axe now. I don’t recognize your painting style, do you have an entire army of them?
>>98063147shitte resolution here is a better one
>>98062833see >>98063145
>>98063154She needs bigger breasts. Should be at least double if not triple the size.
I was just kissing my sisters and wondered if I could use green stuff to make possessed chaos space marines. I was also thinking of kitbashing a defiler by using a Triarch Stalker.
Serious question: How do you guys get over the fear of fucking up your minis? Like I want to get through my pile of shame but I'm scared I'll fuck up building and mess it all up.Should I just stop being a pussy? What worked for you guys?>inb4 "just don't mess up"
Fallen sisters range when?
>>98063169I used cheap DnD minis to practice getting the basics down. Also you can always strip and repaint them, no big deal.
>>98063169>Should I just stop being a pussy? What worked for you guys?Yes. You're not going to get better at something until you start doing it. If you're really worried about fucking up minis, start with small projects you don't mind turning out subpar.
How do I read these data sheets for like stats?I just want to see what I should put on my scout sentinel, I'm thinking the missile, and maybe a chaingun/autocannon/plasma launcher.Also is there an easy way I can see how what units get what?
The chosen
>>98063188why is he in front of hogwarts?
>>98063193To kill witches anon.
>>98063169fucking up some troops, and then stripping it. made me realize how easy it is to start over and try again, so it didn’t feel like a permanent mistake.
>>98063172>Fallen sisters range when?Probably never.Too based for GW.
>>98063115>retconned the entire Terminus Decree to be something where the Grey Knights SOMEHOW need to keep/put the Emperor back on the ThroneIt's because of Pirates of the Carribean, aped by Wrath of the Lich King, it's a whole genX/millenial meme.
>>98063172>Thinking Sisters but evil has a chance of ever being a range when Guard but evil can't get more than two kits (Actually one Kill Team release split into two releases) and AdMech but evil is stuck in Epic scale and minor references in 40klol. lmao even.
>>98063115>and the Emperor still would have his CUSTODESI can see it now.Big E rises up with (un)holy power. This tears through the Custodes and turn them into his Literal Angels with Gabriella at the head (except for a few named characters who reject him, led by a femstode called Lucy).The Gay Knights enact the Terminus Decree and besiege the Imperial Palace the only way that's possible: by smashing Titan into it. Inquisitor Blackus leads them on their quest with Her steely gaze.They miss the throneroom, because a Gay Knight Scout had second thoughts and misaligned the rocket thruster "Maybe he really is an amazing god who has the best intentions?" BLAM goes Blackus's Twin-Linked Heavy Bolt Pistol in response. Now they have to fight through ~5 rooms of golden angels to get to it. Trazyn leans out from his pocket dimension and picks up discarded bolt casings and slithers of smashed statues, declaring "Ahh, another for the collection!"They then approach him, in all his Despicable Maleness, and Shout him back onto his throne with the one thing that hurts him, an incantation that speaks all of his Failures, which takes four whole days to complete. As he cowers before Blackus, She locks him to the throne and turns to Guilliman who personally thanks her for what she's done for the Imperium. She laments, "A shame no-one can ever know what happened here." before winking at the camera as you close the first book of the new series, the Emperor Heresy.
The QnA confirmation that ork boyz are getting an extra sprue with their special weapons in the separate release gives me a glimmer of hope that the multipart intercessor kit with include the tactical squad wargear too. And wolf scouts getting an actual plasmagun instead of the retarded incinerator gives me hope it'll be the classic ones and not the primaris long weapons.
>>98063122eletric tennis raquette thingy, very effective
>>98063222>extra sprue confirmedHell yeah>multipart intercessorsThis will either be cool or a hard pass
>>98063210Isn't Dark Mech the next faction on the pipeline?
Finally got to watch Luetin's video from last week>dismissed FemStodes as ''retcons don't matter''>spent hour sperging out over pic related existinglmao these e-celeb slop-tubers are shameless
>>98063231The fact that even if it includes all the special weapons is still called intercessor instead of tactical already makes it a disappointment.
>>98063131It's the lore now. The truth is he's a fictional character and therefore subject to change. Deep down you have always known this.
>>98063222So we keep our rokkits and big shootas? I guess ill have to use the old rokkit models for the time being
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98063122Mixing dish soap with water and then spraying them with it occludes their spiracles and causes incapacitation in seconds and death within a minute
>Check out Drukhari>Out of stock>Out of stock>Out of stockFor an army no one plays, they sure as hell are never avaliable to purchase.
>>98063121How are the eldar and necrons fighting a defensive war?The eldar live on ships and raid humanity for resources. Commorragh isn't even in the materium and doesn't need slaves.The necrons sleep underground.>if we just negotiate with chaos they'd stop killing peopleUm?
>>98063240Yep, it'll also include a power klaw for the nob and based on the minis they gave out at adepticon, a handful of extra heads and body parts.
>>98063234That is kind of how everyone is though>your faction's retcon? whatever>my faction's retcon? serious business
>>98063216Sounds cool and all.But how does King in Yellow aka Valdor and then Abaddon play into this scenario?
>>98063243GW makes almost no stock of them and then waits for them to sell out before they make more. Their entire range was sold out for almost five months around their codex release and it's still not entirely back in stock. GW themselves couldn't even find enough Hellions to put in their Maelstrom combo box and had to recall the whole box in all regions.
>>98063115the funniest thing about terminus decree is that only the audience knows about the content since the box is only to be opened in the most dire of circumstances.>empire is crumbling down to terra and they open it?>ok as long as he sits there the existence of humanity at least has a chance to continue in pockets>he gets up?>either the galaxy implodes from Dark King and there is nothing to do anymore or palace and it's surroundings are swarmed with daemons with his ascension and whatever rose up needs to be kept there>assuming that like a dozen other contingencies to neutralize the broken webway don't fire off before they get to read it>emperor reincarnated and his warp-possessed corpse is trying to rise?>if he's really the emperor and has his intel it will be a simple delivery package to the palace
>>98063232There's no confirmation or rumors about it but it would make sense as the next releaseI personally think that the Vashtorr stuff is them testing the waters to see if people are interested in chaos tech stuff
>>9806323440k doesn't have retcons though. Just new information that supercedes the previous.
>>98063234>dismissed FemStodes as ''retcons don't matter''That was pretty much every 40k youtuber they're all pussies
>>98063236I know he is a fictional character. I just don't care, shitty fucking writing is shitty fucking writing no matter how you cut it.
How does spine gaunts and hormagaunt spam fare in games?
>>98063235I'd only get new intercessors to sprinkle big marines with HH marines anyway, so I don't care what GW calls them, they'll be tacs or devs.
>>98063232His time is near.
>>98063284Tacs and Devs don't exist in 40k.It's only Ints and Erads from now on.
>>98063257Like the sleeping C'Tan of yore the size of a dyson sphere. If it wakes, reality ceases to exist. That was retconned.
>>98063253also the molds might have been done for and reissueing old ones wouldn't recoup their costs IF new ones are on the way
>>98063279
>>98063292When did the Outsider dyson sphere get retconned?
>>98063287No. I will not let it happen.
>>98063315when all the Ctan, and they emphisized *every* ctan was fractured
>>98063261Okay but why does the Custodes retcon matter? They have no characters that matter, they're not important to any plot or any conflict, and they're literally the NPCs made to be the Emperor's nurses and backup dancers and now crypt guardians.
>>98063325because it was blatant woke pandering, not some vehicle we never saw before
>>98063251>King in YellowThe Alizebeth Bequin trilogy is put on hold as Abnett is called in to write this new best selling series. Valdor doesn't show up.>AbaddonWhen Lucy is cast out of heave- the palace, she is flung into the warp.She fights and travels for days, weeks, years. It's hard to tell. But she's Really Cool.She starts to starve and her host of femstodes have to eat one another to survive, but the warp is strange, so it's not at all clear if they did or didn't or if those they consumed got back up or if they're replaced with daemons pretending to be them. We'll wait for the tabletop minis to decide.Abaddon offers her an apple and upon her first bite she realises the Truth. Big E was always a sham! A con artist! His genetic material isn't even in any of the Custodes! They were always perfect. That's why he turned them, corrupted them, into being his protectors, his slaves.She then fights with Abaddon for several days for some reason and all Five of the Chaos Gods (including the forge) watch with baited breath as to which would succeed and become their new champion.This happens over the span of two books and it looks like she was going to win at the end of the first but then twitter got really mad and on the very first page of the next book some of the moments in the fight got retconned and Abaddon wins by stabbing her in the gut or something with Drach'nyen. Some other readers you know say it was really underhanded but you thought it was written kinda hastily.The rest of the second book reads like she won as she goes on some kind of spirit journey under the guidance of all the Chaos Gods and comes out the other end with a printed advert of her new mini. When looking at her stats she's not the same as Abaddon but nearly identical. You're not sure if 13th edition rules make her stronger than him but she's certainly the front page mini on the webstore for 6 months straight. Fans argue she was never going to replace him but that they wish she did.
>>98063338Even if it's pandering it's completely inocuous. As is a new IG vehicle, mind you.
I miss the soul of the gamei'm gonna go play some 4th ed, I'll be back
>>98063234My issue with the new guard shit is just GW pulling the usual "it always existed, you just didn't see it." which is immensly lazy writing. Same goes for the female custodes retcon.I don't mind the new guard vehicles or femstodes existing, they are fine, but using the whole "they always existed, end of story" excuse as to where any of the new shit came from and never actually explaining anything or giving background is just kinda lame. And it really just reeks of:>"stop asking questions and buy our product, goy"Also it just cheapens the setting too in a way, since previously lot of Imperium's technology came from STCs.But then just pulling out random shit that has zero connection to STCs seemingly feels weird.Like why not just add in couple of sentences about the STC patterns used to make the Centaur and Hippogriff? Not like it'd make them worse.
>>98063292pretty sure the outsider is still intact and lost in madness on some hollowed out planet/gas giant on the galactic rim
>>98063319Well you failed because it happened already anyway.
have you ever bought a kit just for the bits?
>>98063121Eldar and Necrons are defensive? T'au are not? Surely you wrote that backwards, Anon.
Was thinking of trying to do a glow effect on his mini gun, but i don't know which part of it would get the hottest. Would it be the middle or the end of the barrel?
>>98063345>that lore snippetHonestly I hate that I actually like it.
>>98063325If it doesn't matter why did they have to change it? Are we really doing this again? Fuck off
>>98063348>i'm gonna go play some 4th ed, I'll be backyou won't
>>98063348>i'm gonna go play some 4th ed, I'll be back>I'll be backToo real. Kek
>>98063348Do people actually like 4th edition? Apart from the L shaped ruins spam we deal with today I dont feel nostalgic for 4th
>>98063345According to Abnett the next Bequin book has been finished for ages, but GW have it on ice for whatever reason.Probably a tie-in to future events.
>>98063286Despite looking like the oldest drawings of the mechanicum, he's a really ugly model and doesn't feel 40K.

Hippity hoppity get off of their property. >If we negotiate with chaos.Or if we negotiate with people BEFORE they fall to chaos. Half the time people fall to chaos is because they've slighted the imperium in some petty bureaucratic way and the imperium spergs out and starts a war and then the planet has to turn to chaos to not get absolutely btfo

>>98063357I bought an inceptor squad for cheap to reuse for ork shoulder pads. I also have ideas to reuse the bolters so the orks can ape the new heavy bolter eradicators, but I’m not confident in my kitbashing abilities enough yet to try it.

>>98063346>>98063349the galaxy is huge for the guard and almost everything is fair game, the femstodes are problematics because they both retcon what was written before (noble sons of Terra) and they're part of nu-40k with the marvel tier primarch slop making the galaxy feel small, with less wiggle room to cram in some weird variations
>>98063373I didn't realise you could scrape so hard you break through the barrel to what's below it.
>>98062144>And which 40k army has the most mentally unstable players?unironically chaos knights
Look who crawled out of his crater
>>98063414Such a better model
>>98063394>They owned the galaxy and the humans are invading.What happened between them owning the galaxy and humanity growing like nature reclaiming abandoned buildings, anon?>all heretics were in a deathwar with the imperium BEFORE resorting to chaos!Just because you're a bad person doesn't mean you have to side with chaos. You could lay down and die like a decent human bean.
>>98063408Eh, femstodes just exist and basically did nothing.Only thing changed is that now more women are dying 40k. I don't really give a damn tbqh.
>>98063414>you will buy the new mini and put BOTH feet on the tactical rock
>>98063414>>98063427Why does his hand have a prolapsed butthole?
>>98063172That’s like asking when we’ll get Khorne or Nurgle Elves, their souls are all claimed by Slaanesh. Sisters are all claimed by the Emperor or his disembodied warp presence, any contra-example is so far of an outlier it’s not worth anything.
>>98063433He farts stinky farts out of his hand
>>98063395shit, well guess i'm gonna phase out then
>>98063427I hate this model so much
>>98063433perfectly placed for his own pleasure
>>98063388NTA but yeah, 4th is comfy. Part of it is the compatibility between 3e, 3.5e, 4e and 5e. People like it for different reasons but the mechanics in the 4e CRB strike a balance between complexity and playability that i like. A reasonable amount of USRs and no true LOS makes a big difference, unit profiles in codexes are distinct without having multiplied endlessly like in 5th-7th, VPs is a better system than the current objective monkeying or the old drawing of secondary cards from 7th and 8th. There's some changes I do actually like from newer editions. Running is a good addition, changing BS to being a flat X+ roll is sensible (but not the WS changes). You can break it if you're a faggot, like all tabletop wargames, but 3e/4e is comfy
>>98063427damn, with that tactical rock they could have fit two head options (one for a head with a glowing eye inside the socket and one with a helmet to cover that ugly mug), and then add an extra weapon option.
>>98063435NTA but The Path of the Dark Eldar books have Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Khorne servants among the elves.
sister characters should come with more cherubs or something40 dollars for one plastic lady almost identical to my other plastic ladiesthank you james
>>98063389I imagine it won't read very well because it'll not only have been written during the darkest of times but everyone will think it's weird characters are saying "My glizzy has the littest fade" and not "Dungus bungus hit the blingo schmimbo" when it's released in 2030.No-one will be particularly upset, it'll just be slept on. Even 40kg won't care to be angry about it.
>>98063388So, Im coming back to the game after a few years break. im re-reading all the tyranid codexes front to back. Im in the middle of the 4th ed dex, and yeah, I forgot just how great it is. I can see why people liked 4th ed. Maybe its the best, maybe not, I'll keep you updated.
>>98063365It wouldn’t make sense with the structure of the gun, I wouldn’t do it. It’s a multi barrel rotary gun which don’t get particularly hot to begin with, and most of it is covered by housing, you just see the barrel tips.
I wonder if anyone's buying soul grinders right now just because they can't get their hands on a defiler
>>98062807>Evil sunz>Ork got Deathskulls blue paint>Bad Moons yellow armor>Towering over a lot of gits and fellow boys while rocking the checkermarksDis here nob is short of a propa orky hat to be a freeboota if he got booted out of 3 whole klans
>>98063476Abnett only made crap after ~2007 anyway
>>98063481OK, it might end up looking a little basic otherwise, but if its not going to make any sense (despite being le orks xD) i won't bother
>>98062863Orks leave spores, which grow into new orks, so the orks of a certain location are likely to have been spawned by spores from a common ancestor, and that one in turn will be more closely related to nearer orks than to more isolated groups of orks.Now, coupled with some measures of genetic drift, natural selection, and potentially some more esoteric things, this gives different "families" of orks slightly different characteristics, which may come out as physical and/or as behavioural, for example the klan of the bad moons is renown for having families of orks who grow particularly large sets of tusks, and do so at a faster rate compared to other orks, while the klan of the deathskulls are known for having a lot of boys with a natural knack for looting, scavenging and stealing, although when it comes to behavioural tendencies it's hard to say where exactly the border between nature and nurture is (note: I'm calling it nurture and not culture because in orks terms, kulturs are a slightly different thing, we'll get to that).Generally speaking, an ork klan arises out of one particular familiar group, or group of families, more or less a haplogroup, that are somewhat closely related; bad moon are again the example to bring, BUT klans can also grow to eventually scatter all over the place and/or start inglobating individuals from other groups or whole other groups altogether, meaning you may have many numerous different separate groups of orks across the galaxy belonging to the same klan, either genealogically or just nominally if they belong to such inglobated groups; but if the bad moons manage to be renown for such a physical peculiarity still, then it must mean at least some klans "keep it in the family", or have really good PR.
>>98063349>But then just pulling out random shit that has zero connection to STCs seemingly feels weird.Reminds me of Darktide adding a new story about their OC donought steal steel having a secret to making it correctly and the manufactory world was just doing it wrong because they forgot how and it's up to the Rejects and an OC to figure it out for them.Nothing new in 40K has felt very deserved in a while, even in the tertiary materials. Though they do share writers so maybe that's why.
>>98063420>What happened between them owning the galaxy and humanity growing like nature reclaiming abandoned buildings, anon?Nothing that would justify human squatters to their own standards let alone the standards of xenos. No anon you don't get my house just because it burned down. Causes are irrelevant>You can just dieI can just do everything I can to try to kill you. If I just die you'll move on to the next coward
>>98063427>WAAAAAAAAAAAGH
>>98063507Within each and every grouping of orks there are also individuals who have very specific instincts or predispositions, these are orks that will generally flock to one of the ork Kulturs and oddboys (note: oddboys are a different thing from weyrdboys, oddboys is stuff like meks and doks, who are born with ingrained know-how over some things, but also just very weirdly behaving orks); there are ork kulturs about all sorts of things, some of the most famous ones are the kultur of kommandos, the kult of speed, and the beast snaggas, and people may be drawn to think that all kommandos are blood axes, all kults of speed are from the evil suns, and all beast snaggas are snakebites, but that's far from the truth; you can have orks feeling the calling to a certain kultur from any group of orks, orks who like going fast popping up amongst the deathskulls, orks who like hunting big game an old fashioned way in the blood axes, and taktikool aficionados born in the bad moons banding together there without anything actual contact from other groups of similar kulturs or the klans with particular predispositions to specialise or feature one kultur or another way way moreFinally we reach the War, or more commonly called the WAAARGH!!! which is any armed force with a modicum of momentum in its warpath growing around a charismatic leader, that leader will belong to a particular klan and that klan will often be the heart of the waaagh, but the waaagh is an event that attracts or pushes orks from many different klans to band together in large armies of greenskins.Ideally a tabletop army will be representing a fraction of a waaagh, but most collectors still prefer uniformity in their orks and treat klans as these monolithic structures like space marine chapters are, but they ain't, because while they have their own peculiarities and origins, there is a constant back and forth of klans eating one another or clashing over the control of ork populations to add to their numbers
>>98063455This.Fuck tactical rocks
>>98063435Its lame how people are unwilling to have subfactions for anything that isn't a space marine.
>>98063169The shame of having grey plastic is outweighing my fear of bad paint jobs was the main motivator, as im doing them, I have accepted that if it is very bad and can't be fixed ill strip them and start againif they look very basic when ive finished to the best of my ability, then ill continue with the remainder whilst building up skills, knowing that I can go back to those and apply better techniques once I get the hang of the basics
>>98063547stop posting gore
>>98063520>I can just do everything I can to try to kill you.If you kill a murderer, the number of murderers in the galaxy stays the same.Except if I kill a heretic, there's one less chaos acolyte.
>>98063563what if I kill two murderers?
Talking about tatical rocks, is this shit fuckin necessary?
>>98063508That's not how the story went at all.
>>98063571who says those murderers did not have a child, thereby making the exchange even because even though you murdered two murderers, there's still two murderers.
>>98063547>be the superior tech faction>don't wear shoes>armour actually has less coverage than guard flakI feel like they'd give marines sandals to wear, and by that I mean the marines would make their own sandals, and all they'd get otherwise are pieces of ill-fitting battlesuits.Why didn't the artist give the marine a powerpack, or at the very least an iron-man power core with a tau symbol on it?
>>98063574no, remove the faggy fire effects too
>>98063365>it's a gatling gun, so it doesn't overheat because it alternates the barrels>it's an ork gun, so it overheats even then because orks would pump the rate of fire so high the heat distribution amongst the barrels isn't enough >that specific gun doesn't look like it shoots that many bullets, given the calibre >it probably shoots something fancy that overheats the gun just because anyway >orks are not dumb, and do know of other methods for cooling the weapon, like the faucet on pic related>hot guns look cool thohonestly you can do whatever, but if you really want the glow then it should be the barrels themselves alone, and perhaps the glow of the barrels emerging from the vents at the side of the whole thingyou could have the bike's engine, tubes and booster glow though, if you look up what parts of a bike overheats
>>98063574Which kit has this bit in the sprue?
>>98063574Iirc a quarter of wazdakka's sprue is taken by tactical rocks/special effect.Could have been options for a generic speedfreak boss, could have been weapon options.>You wanted option? Here, you can pick between shitty special effects or not :^)I hate new minis. I want my MINIATURE soldiers to look like soldiers on the field. Every time and everywhere I put the mini down the only thing that should look out of place is the base.Now so many minis are posed like action figure/book covers/limited edition statues, rather than actual MINIATURE SOLDIERS.
>>98063574I feel like it's less egregious for SCs, and if anyone deserves to have a tactical ramp(rock) it's Wazdakka since taking a sick jump off a ramp is how he made his name, but IIRC that build is completely doable without it.>>98063626Wazdakka.
>>98063610I'll probably do that for now, by the looks of it i can just add it in later if i want. I dont mind the shit coming out of the exhaust but the smoke part is actually attached to it which I'm not interested in putting on this model at all
>>98063615>ork holding a handle to a gatling gun>but the gun only has one barrel, but at least it has a jacket>the jacket may or may not contain anything but there's a tap with a water supply slapped on top of it, just turn the handle>the rest of the gun? I dunno, I just thought it made the dakka look cooler
>>98063626wazdakka, you can see the special effects
>>98063490They're the same size and dirt cheap, would be stupid not to.
>>98063641nta but you can have a crank gun with a single barrel. It's just a different mechanism.
>>98063243They want to clear the stock completely since Deldar get refresh soon after 11th drops. Leakers confirmed this already
Ork debate, what do they call a tactical rock, a kunnin rokk or a brutal stone?
>>98063633I don't know i can appreciate the evolution of better models, more details and some nice features, but as you say things like pic related, tactical rocks/fog, dinamic poses and the whole model makes me die inside.
>>98063662It's a brutal rokk or a kunnin' stone, ya git.
>>98063574In this case I think so, the vision for the model is for it to be jumping as if it hit a ramp, probably to evoke his famous achievement of felling a titan by jumping into its cockpit with the bike.If it didn't have the rocks it wouldn't have a ramp and the jumping pose would look way less natural.Other alternatives were keeping the model solidly on the ground, but that hardly makes it look that much more special than the other bikers, it would feel overshadowed by the wartrike, assuming that's larger.Posing it doing a wheelie would have been the obvious choice, also because it parallels warlords with rampant steeds, but it could be said in the case of a bike it seems like it gives the bike more attention than the biker, while this one needs to have emphasis on his weapon.Last option would have been the akira pose, but think for a moment about the model placed on the table next to the other ork bikers: if it faces the enemy then it means he just drifted AWAY from them and towards the boys he's leading, while at any given point of a game the models are going to be moving forward.
>>98063664Very practical game piece here.>>98063662A waste of gubbins.
>>98063662brutal rock, always brutal.
>>98063664I still don't know what that pose on the chaplain is supposed to be.
>>98063670is it really brutal if it's doing nothing?Sounds more like its cunning, waiting for someone to pick it to smash a git or waiting for a git to trip and smash their face on the floor.
>>98063664what were they thinking? why the fuck make this?
>>98063664There's something childish about it>>98063678He's getting ready to stab you with a swinging weapon and/or wondering if he left the iron on
>>98063664I call this:"Primaris Design"
How do we reconcile loyalist forces fighting Custodians without:>The non-Custodes force is secretly traitor>The non-Custodes force got bamboozled by the Alpha Legion's>It was all a Blood Game training exercise I mean anyone who fights Custodians is fighting His Will. This is the problem with an infallible faction. And if they are fallible, that's bad also!
>>98063664might be one of the worst poses they ever madeHe doesn't look like he is jumping, falling down, taking a swing, trying to shoot or even attempting to run. Utterly ruins otherwise decently looking Chaplain
>>98063664>when the tactical rock addiction is so strong you just go full retard
>>98063664Not to defend it but what happened to people bitching about acrylic stands? Because the alternatives are acrylic stands, or all jump troops are just standing flatfooted on the ground at all times. I don't think that's completely awful but for the entire squad I think it's lame.>>98063702It's the purity seals that are the problem. He absolutely would look like he's just taken flight and is readying to raise his crozius over his head at the apex of the jump and bring it down... except the purity seals are flapping in the wrong direction, making it look like he's *landing*, in which case yea every part of his body language is wrong.
>>98063719>It's the purity seals that are the problemand on top of what you said, it looks like the wax seal can actually rotate
>>98063686>ready to hit youThat's not a good arm position for that, it should be further back.>>98063700Administrative error or the emperor being a cunt
>>98063700This is probably the one advantage the sisters of battle got, oh sure they will get their cunts gaped by a single custodian, but a single sister hearing a Custodian say some shit about ''the emperor is not a god, he said so'' and she'd treat it as some PRIME heresy (despite the obvious contradictions) and through a game of telephone and heavy amounts of gossip, SoB's have a crashout reason to fight the phallic banana men.Then again, the one and only time SoB's ever interacted with the custodes was a single custodian escorting the then matriarch leader of the SoB's to visit the Big E and boom, no more age of apostacy. That can and would happen again.
>>98063427Every time I see his face, I hear the OP Blackbeard laugh
>>98063700Neither the emperor or the custodians are wholly-benevolent, omniscient or omnipotent.The emperor's will may mandate unspeakably merciless acts in the name of his needs and plans trumping the innocents, the custodians may be acting on fragmentary information, assuming they can actually tell without fail what the emperor is communicating, which is not a given, or they may be wholesale jumping to harsh decisions on their own.If anything it's way harder to justify marines vs guards conflicts, and nobody ever bothers doing that because none has the authority to act against the other and none wants to write their dudes as being duped by chaos or making a silly mistake.
>>98063719Acrylic stands? Naw, we gotta convince people the box is a good price by adding a cool tactical base nobody asked for. I genuinely tend to despise the replacement of flight stands with tactical bits and smoke balls because it more often detracts from the model instead of adding to it. I wouldn't be as annoyed by it if these jumping or flying models at least added the flight stands still as an option in the kits.
>>98063719>the alternative is acrylic standUnless it's a flying unit I don't want it to fly. Put it on the fucking base.
>>98063747>If anything it's way harder to justify marines vs guards conflictsBack then it would've been handwaved with something like "a handful of daemons appeared on the other side of the planet and now some clueless regiment must be culled"
>>98063762it never was the explanation back then either
>>98063733>it should be further back.Yeah, he's getting ready to stab you with a swinging weapon
>>98063633You're right, that shit alone took up half of one of the sprues. Just from looking at the back wheel its all attached to a bunch of stone so there never was an option to just have it sitting on the base. I could always cut it off but not having a choice to begin with is a little silly
i just got unopened original metal minis for 20 a pop, picked up:chaos champion, plague marine champion, mordian guard lascannon platform, and epic knights errantswondering what one to work on firstguy also sold me some bits, got an unfinished custom rhino from him, hurts to see an oldhead leave the hobby but i do want to finish this rhino
>>98063615Appreciate the explanation anon. I could make the vents glow, I probably wouldn't use too much airbrush memery and just those enamel pigments to make it look bright as fuck. Unfortunately making the engine and all of that glow might be a bit hard for me to achieve, could certainly make the booster look hot as fuck though
>>98063737Might be. They follow the Ecclessiarchy at Ophelia, not Terra after all>>98063747>If anything it's way harder to justify marines vs guards conflictsNah. Guard genrals are just men, and SM Captains are literally hypnotized into being unrelenting.Both are fallible and stubborn: someone IS wrong in there, and might shall make right.My problem with custodes is that the fluff does paint them as having the best information and understanding possible. Even if they themselves aren't subject to the needs of normal humans they do understand them.As for might makes right, it feels weird to defeat custodians.
>>98063700The winner is the true pious follower of the emperor and the loser was obviously corrupted by chaos.
>>98063826This + midwit meme
>>98063835>>98063826>Loser was corruptedGrim. Maybe even dark
>>98063815>the fluff does paint them as having the best information and understanding possible.Doesn't every chapter also have the best information and understanding possible, especially that one with the xeno throne?
Is the air on Armageddon breathable or not, I keep hearing the answer point to no, that it's inhospitable to humans with no clean air systems, only to see helmetless figs all the time. Maybe I'm being too autistic, but it annoyed me when I realized the cadians don't get all closed helmet options in their kits.
>>98063847>picrelThis makes no sense, but I am biased
>>98063810maybe just the tube leading to the booster
>>98063854Armageddon has seasons in which no one can breath or be outside without proper gear.
>>98063815>My problem with custodes is that the fluff does paint them as having the best information and understanding possible.which is still guesswork from reading fucking cards
>>98063574think of the millions of cool ways you could pose a tech priest with giant mechanical spider legsthen throw them out and put one foot on ground and one foot on tactical rock like every other model (the rock is 4 foot tall too)
>>98063854>the cadians don't get all closed helmet options in their kitswelcome to gw school of making horde armies. Same with COS but there it's somehow worse becaus GW keeps showing closed helmet option.Really the most human factions are the most expensive and hardest to paint.
>>98062998White Male Father Figure, gotta go. Break the "patriarchy", dehumanize everyone associated with it.
>>98063872she’s not even putting her weight on it, this has to be the most fuck you tactical rock there is.
>>98063879>Really the most human factions are the most expensive and hardest to paint.They didn't used to be. They used to know what horde factions are.Now you'll finish painting them around the time a line refresh occurs.Everything is so detailed now if you copied their masterful example paintjobs you'd hit the table with a blurry mess.
I like to think the trailer for Armageddon displaying the Orks clapping the fuck out of the imperial forces shown is the Orks being pissed off at no Yarrick and no Steel Legion on armageddon so they're krumping everybody to the point the planet governor is sounding a retreat. No steel legion and no yarrick = not my armageddon
>>98063895>White MaleHe was anatolian
>>98063924No one cares about what you think, ADB.
>>98063700I don't care who you are or what color your armor is. If you're in the way of my jihad, you're in the way of my jihad.
>>98063852Marines know THEIR objectives, but they don't care about anyone else's. You cannot expect compassion and understanding from the relentless and remorseless.I remember that time chapter intel demonstrably proved a planet wasn't going to be able to be held, so it was torched to deny it to the foe. Problem is, the Iron Hands didn't tell the citizens or planetary defenses about it - it was easier and faster to crush them than to argue about it, then organize an evacuation, then destroy non-compliants who got dug in after learning the plan."Kill them all; the Emperor will know His own".
>>98063895>turks>White
>>98063927That isn't any new lore, he was brown even in old lore and art newfriend
>>98063854>breathableIt is, but it will fuck your health over time, think resin
>>98063872>>98063908Don't forget the second leg raised on a rock hidden by the first leg raised on a rock and both of them are hiding actually cool detail like spider drone and discarded smoking magazine-thing. If GW wasn't retarded i'd almost say it was parody
>Emperor was a med>Meds are mama's boys>He one day learned that his moma's soul probably got eaten by a demon after she passed awayThat's my canon as to why he hates Chaos so much
>>98063938>he was brown even in old lore and art newfriendOf course he is brown. He's a character written by britons, after all!
>>98063658>Leakers confirmedShow proof
>>98063947how the fuck is a normal person supposed to paint all those small details on top of each other?
Was a big bugs fan in 2018 but I stopped playing / being interested. Has anything interesting about the Tyranids lore changed since then?
>>98063949The warp was still calm enough that the Emperor could be conceived. He cherishes the memory, but any echoes of that past are long gone.Even Him-on-the-throne is no longer the same who sat down on it 10k years ago.
>>98063952
>>98063949It's fun to discuss the small things abaut Emps life. > As the Galaxy burns...>As Humanity faces its' darkest hour yet...>As the Hive Fleets pour in without number...>As the Eye of Terror grows with each foul blink...>And as the Emperor, his dream for humanity Ten Thousand Years dead, sits derelict on the Golden Throne...>He remembers an old man, in a little church.
>>98063949My canon is that the emperor is the 10k+ year old corpse of powerful terran warlord, he didn't know about chaos and that's how it caught him by surprise.His body and soul are so unnatural by the millenia in a virtual death state that the fluids it produces (mixed with some arcane products, like silver) are deadly to demons. It's like a fine fermented wine, except it fucking destroys demons instead of tasting divine.
I kinda like the custodes but at the same time I 100% understand why everyone dislikes them.
>>98063908>sheI know it has a big butt but that's no woman
How much is the red terror going to cost by itself?
>>98063996Why would anyone dislike them? They are right and infallible :^)
>>98063970>>98063949that reminded me how Mortarion found Nekare's (his dad from Barbarus) soul in the warp and traped it inside the clock on his ship. Aperentally he sometimes talks to it. I guess it's the closest he could find in terms of someone to talk to.
>>98063507>>98063526thank you for the effortpost, genetor. out of curiosity, did you make the graph yourself or is there somewhere you got it from, and are there any citations to your post, so I can research further?
>>98063996Custodes shouldn't have been an army for 40k and instead get their own Reverse Space Hulk game where you guard and protect the dead cells of the deepest floors of terra against whatever demons that pop out because after all, the fucking webway portal is still there, it is still active and it might still be vomitting nasty as fuck demons that need immediate custodian spear poking back to the warp.Same deal with Imperial Agents (Specifically the assasins), those should've been their own tabletop a la Gorkamorka
>>98063996I think custards look better in black & with the lighter armor paired with leather.You have the armored ones as "imperial envoys", then the actual custodes are still the robed dudes with big helmets guarding the palace.
>>98063998No no, let them cook. Me, Im ready for the wave of Pixar-mom Mechanicus
>>98064009They should have been a 0-1 choice you can include into other imperial armies
>>98063963You go completely fucking insane painting sub assemblies like I do.
>>98064018With the new Detachment system, they might be?
>>98063963contrast paint
>>98062827
>>98063815I think it's because they're trying to push the custodes as the protagonists of the setting given that they're already portrayed as being above everything.
>>98064017Robot posting in 2026, rip Robin Williams you legend
Can someone give me tips for deployment? I appear to be very shit at it. Not necessarily for screening, but getting my troops only shit quickly enough. I understand I am supposed to hide stuff, but I find footsloggers cannot get to where they need to be fast enough if I do. To give context, I am playing DG with the flyblown thing that gives all my DG infantry scout 6
>>98064046Do you use transports?
>>98064039it introduced me to Tom Waits which is nicehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH29T4CkvVo
>>98064046I have a similar problem, once my opponents realise that i play orks they deploy their shit as aggressive as possible with shit out in the open knowing its not going to get shot
>>98062807>TQPurple being sneaky for Orks has always amused me. Their genera nature of being in it for the love of the game is also something I appreciate as a non-Ork player.
>>98064046deployment should have you not visible to your opponent, even if they make a really big moveTurn 1 should be getting into position. At this point, it is fine if your opponent can reach you, provided you can always reach them
>>98064101>Purple being sneaky for Orks has always amused meI'm sorry you were tricked by fake lore invented by internet telephone games.
I like tactical rocksI like dynamic visual effectsI like overdesigned modelsI like things that have DETAIL I like COOL STUFF
>>98064035I think they are doing a very poor job at it.Also I think it is super weird that in the custodes codex they are said to be expert diplomats and have the super power of "common sense". But everytime we see custodes they act like massive dickheads to people and marines, and are basically almost provoking the people they are talking to try attack them.
>>98064017>join the admech>initiation rites to become more toaster>you get partially lobotomised, as everyone is to merge with the machine>the servitors bring out the holy artefact to add to your others under your vestment, a new part of your body yet older than the hive you stand in, very few of the mechanicus get new parts, after all why waste what has already been made?>some lingering thought in your head says>"That's a vagina">you flip through binaries at fibre optic speed>once belong to the Magus Thirstus>"That's odd" you note as the third bolt of sealing is drilled taut, "The radius of the inner port was 4cm tighter on date of manufacture, she must have struggled get data from smaller USBs later in her career"Why did the film have a crossdressing joke?
>>98064008this is very old, and some things have changed or been added with time, but it's still a golden readhttps://gofile.io/d/3B7M4X>>98064110nta, but even if it's not true I still like it because it's funny, aside from people running the joke to the ground >the only purple orks ever depicted have been the ones fighting the one faction that was invisibly there all along for decades
>>98064118a character can only be as clever, mature, and charismatic as its writer
>>98063700Maybe custodes are working on based on what the Emperor has "told" them, but they don't have the full picture or can't fully understand what the Emperor is asking them to do.So when the custodes *try* to do something they just bulldoze toward a "solution" even if that might not even be what the Emperor wants.I think making the custodes infallible is a dis-service to them as a faction. They are better when they are fallible, ie. can make mistakes, even if those mistakes might be because they are trying to do the good thing and do what the Emperor asked of them.
>>98064128>Why did the film have a crossdressing joke?Because men wearing women's clothing was almost universally recognized as a hilarious absurdity until very recently.
>>98062827HonorValorButtor
>>98064030Doubt it but would be nice. Custodes, deathwatch, grey knights, knights, etc should had never been full armies.
>>98064139>>98063871>Custodes aren't actually infallible, and the fact the Emperor can only communicate via cards and dreams is yet another tragedy of the settingAight I'm glad I asked. Thanks 40kg
>>98064131In the context the original joke took place, I don't have a problem at all, it's good for a chuckle, I don't mean to come off as a nofun lore prude. But yea, the joke was run into the ground and it kept going until it popped out on the other side of the planet where people had never seen Orks before and took it as real, and now this is what it feels like.
>>98064157Now they will be closer to formations. At least that's what the new Detachments looks like to me.Your Guard army being assisted by a Deathwatch strike team sounds alright
>>98064110Don't be, we had fun with it, just as we had fun with Angry Marines.
I find it interesting that people here will whine and seethe whenever someone is unoriginal or doesn't show lots of skill in building/painting, but the moment GW puts tactical rocks on bases/miniatures, it's untouchable radioactive waste that cannot be touched, edited or outright removed with the most basic hobbying skills
>>98064182You sound demented
Really tempted to just bite the bullet and get the MTO Vostroyan Platoon for the hell of it. I prefer Krieg minis but only their FW versions, I don't like the new GW plastic ones, they look "fat" if that makes sense.
>>98064106My biggest problem in my last game is that I entirely forgot that infantry models can move through terrain
>>98064182The point of it being plastic and sprue content that is charged for in lieu of stuff that used to be more common like alt builds isn't really debatable, though.
>>98064152It's very hard to believe that given how much change has happened in media even if everyone's as sexist as they always were.
>>98064088Everything about that movie is memorable, feels like a fever dream for how good it is.
>>98064192Get recasts. Don't reward GW for this scam. They're literally laughing at you for being retarded enough to buy into it.
>>98064182>whine>cry>bitch>moan>seetheYou're just frustrated because you love the shitty tactical rocks lol, get fucked cretin
>>98064182I always found tactical rocks weird.Like a company that endorses creativity shouldn’t make it any more difficult than it needs to be for miniatures to be in virtually as many different environments as possible.Are tactical rocks a mandate by gw execs like the Cawl cylinder on primaris weapons?
>>98064192Some anon posted the scans for (most of) the metal vostroyans yesterday. Just missing the command squad iirc>they look fatI like the fat GW style but I must say the skinny minis look great, wish there was 2 ranges/styles. Also skinny + resin is not a good combo.
Three tactical rocks
>>98064192I know what you mean I have the same problem with plastic krieg.
>>98064220ntaanybody pretending to complain about tactical rocks exposes themselves as /v/ermin who've never built models in their livesyou will try and fail to deflect from this fact
Built and primed a Hammerhead with my old man, yesterday.He used to be really into model building (cars, planes, rockets), but he's gotten older and getting Alzheimer's. He didn't want to help much, but he did sand some nubs and glued a few parts.Didn't have time to paint it before I had to go, but that'll be another time.
>>98064224>endorses creativity>but it's also company approved creativityEvery time. It's just about selling the product.>We are still as customizable as ever!>But you went from 10 options to 2>Which means it's still customizable!>But it's not a binary thing>It is when it's about what's printed in the magazine and posted on website!It's about checking technicality checkboxes so they can keep advertising their products in a particular way. Anyone who scratches the surface knows that what the company says is not what's in the product.
>>98064241>ntaNot fooling anyone, you're been doing the same bait for a few days now.
>>98064209Surely it would have been easier for Robot City to have a public transit system in the form of buses, trains or flying things instead of a fucking catapault puzzle thing with a million different things that could go wrong.Also, the 'hero' of the movie is a guy who has a monopoly on all new inventions and parts for the entire robot race (he just isn't a dick).
>>98064248>printed hammerheadbased>spending time with fatherbased, maybe he can try legos as well, heard it's great for the brain
>>98064248I’m really glad you spent time with your father on something you both love to do.Good job on the model! Maybe let your father decide on the colours?

>>98064249>But you went from 10 options to 2This is what pisses me off the most. I managed to snag one of these original BT upgrade kits before GW took them down. Not going to use them directly, will just blue stuff everything for myself when needed.

>>98064235>that pic I’m about ready to try and most likely fail to recreate model photos like those. When I get my pc back and grow some proper courage to pirate photoshop.Can’t find any means of doing so but I’ll ask an ai chatbot for assistance to see how it works.Does gw still make images like that these days?I’m not sure if the Horus Heresy images count. I think they do but there isn’t much diorama work last I checked.
>>98064296AI quality
>>98064253oh schizo-kun
>>98064182The problem with tactical rocks is that they should not be there in the first place because it means extra effort to plan and modify and make a replacement for the tactical rock for the models to be in an environment that doesn’t commonly have outdoor rocks everywhere.It’s more time setting things up to get to the fun part of painting.Models that just stand on the flat base are better for this reason.
>>98064297Elaborate
>>98062846Either paint it as Bike/Rider/Handlebar and be very careful squeezing the rider into the seat, or paint it as bike body+rider/handlebar/side "wheels". Also, you'll definitely want to leave the hoverpads off because you need to glue one to its tactical rock and then glue that to the bike afterwards. If you try to glue the bike to the tactical rock as one whole piece the model will droop.
>>98063508In Darktide the real Moebian Steel recipe was actually fully lost for a while. For like thousands of years.The story unfolds in that Swagger (it's the guy's name just go with it), found a way/directions to one of the very very old and ancient manufactorums that USED TO manufacture true Moebian Steel. Swagger then contacted the Inquisition warband to show and tell them about the foundryplex.The 4 player characters then get sent to Clandestium Gloriana to both scout it out but also to start up the facility, so they can figure out the recipe to make true Moebian Steel again. And they have figured it out, they can make the original Moebian Steel again.Both Hadron and Kay-Ex are currently working in the Smelter Complex 17-36 trying to retrofit and figure out how to modify the foundry so they can start making true Moebian Steel there, instead of having to just relay on the Clandestium Gloriana foundryplex.And that is where the Moebian Steel plotline is currently standing at.Many people have speculated that we might get more about the Moebian Steel stuff once Fatshark adds Red Tier weapons to the game. Basically have speculated that Moebian Steel might become something that us the players can use a material to upgrade our equipment in the game.
I sometimes kiss my model, to show it's more than an army my enemy fights. It's my true heart.
>>98063574I don't mind them so much when they're interesting to paint like thisThe shit that pisses me off is when it's both really intrusive and really boring, like a gigantic hunk of concrete with rebar sticking out
>>98064354I’ve shoved a terminator captain up my foreskin once.
>>98064283If you can scan them and/or take photos of them up close. Most details are simple enough that you could reproduce in blender/zbrush even as a beginner.The old upgrades are so good, especially because they are made so you can buy multiple of them and not be left with bits you don't really want again. GW nows like to cram everything into a single upgrade rather than 2 or three.As a DA player, no, I do not need multiple identical watchers in the dark with a book.
>>98064296AI quality (complimentary)
>>98064182>I find it interesting that people here will whine and seethe whenever someone … doesn't show lots of skill in building/paintinganon, just because you got bullied here because you refused to thin your paints, insisted upon painting your models in 8 different colors, or covered your minis in nazi decals, that doesn’t mean people here mind when your average poster is just a bit mediocre when it comes to painting. there’s a guy here who just posted his thickly painted Iyanden aeldari, and he didn’t get a bad word said about him.
>>98064241Tactical rocks are bad because they are an example of lazy sprue filling to have models not have as many included customization options as they should.So many possible optional assemblies like weapons or heads etc. have been lost in favor of the tactical rock that it is unreal.>never assembled a modelCan we see a model from you with a time stamp to know this isn’t projection?Preferably a model modified to stand without a tactical rock or rock replacement without looking awkward but that’s optional.Or will you concede through silence and/or excuses?
>>98064364I really wish we'd get a Salamanders upgrade sprue like this. It'd be super cool.
Squat your path
>>98064364>reproduce in blenderNta but I’ve tried with blender and failed many times.At most I’ve spent too long replacing a blade with a chainsword’s “blade.”It took me a long time to get it right and angle the blade to fit on the posed model’s handle.There was probably an easier way to do this and I missed it.And even YouTube tutorials are stretched out nowadays for previous ad money so much that I’m ready to try chatgpt or any ai assistant for instructions to see if they can be actually useful for modifying 40k models and 40k looking models.
>>98064342In 11th psychic weapons ignore modifiers, and now that cover got buffed, ignoring modifiers is even more valuable. Same reason Havocs are more valuable too.

>>98064393Would be cool. I remember a time where FW sold so many extra things, like shoulder pads, weapons, vehicle upgrades, etc.I thought at the time that if GW had more money they'd make this and more in plastic. But unfortunately when your objective is just money you realize real quick that you make more money by cutting corners than through higher quality.>>98064401I'd say it's1) understand the exact shapes of what you're making2) know how to make the exact shapeOr you could always pay someone 200 bucks to make bits you know you're gonna need a lot of

Dont wish to sound like a pedant, but why don't 'traitor guard' players just use the normal guard codex? It's not as if your average traitor guard detachment will differ too much from a standard one. Most of the time, they turn traitor for localised reasons as opposed to chaos spikes, after all.

1k sons playersis this the final solution to the trim problem?
Hear me out: Imagine a standalone video game set right in the middle of M35 (around the mid-35th Millennium). Because of the time period, the game could feature an official, canon First Founding Legion or an established canon successor chapter, but with a completely original cast of Space Marines. No tripping over modern 40k lore or Heresy-era named characters—just a totally blank slate for the squad and the campaign, while still using a famous, existing chapter.Which official chapter would make the best foundation for a game like that?Personally, I’m leaning heavily toward the White Scars. Think high-speed, fast-attack tactical gameplay—blitzing across massive maps, mounted combat, hit-and-run strikes, and just absolute high-speed violence.What canon chapter would you pick for a mid-millennium campaign, and what would the gameplay loop look like?
>>98064817Once again Mossa shows what GW refuses to
>>98064772guard doesn't matter, marines do :)
>>98064749>>98064782Bullshit. Sangheili are closer to being kroot via them looking like Turians, the Sangheili-equivalent of Mass Effect - militarized society that works with other xenos and all, but avian.Eldar are literally humans+ with long ears and silly egos. I am glad humans are an unfinished race by the Old Ones or whatever, because otherwise how do you explain two unrelated species look almost identical, even if only on the outside? We are related to bananas and octopi and look nothing alike.Say it was deliberate and dismiss it.
>>98064824That's quite literally how the surface of the model looks under the paint. It's not paint.
>>98064832What are these markers really derived from?I’m pretty sure most mini painting hobby products are derived from pre existing tools and just rebranded.I need idiot proof yellow and white and fair skin acrylic paints that cover as well as black paints usually should.

>>98064862Accusing an artist of being a moral degenerate is paramount to having a go at grass being green or the sun for rising in the morning.True artists are cursed by the universe to sacrifice 'normality' for talent. The more talent/well known one is, chances are the more schizo they were. The same way normies MUST be obsessed with the NFL/NBA/Soccer etc or every other UK shop must be a charity shop, kebab store, or nail place that totally isn't just a front for money laundering.

>>98064902I tried both ways and honestly the difference is not that substantial
>>98064877ah fair enough, but kroot thing is also pretty surface level since they don't have much in common beyond looking similar
>>98064898Primaris are fine. Cawl's stuff is barely an asspull, all of it is just him taking a pre-existing thing and modifying it.
>>98064868I dislike elves and dwarves that look like humans. You can do elves differently. Or any non-human race to begin with.Getting tired of elves, na'avi, orks, and a bunch of other groups being looking like humans in blue makeup or whatever.Always two legs, always two hands, always one head with two eyes and a mouth.There's molluscs lined with dozens of separate eyes, legs with no bones. Elephants got a tentacle in their face, effectively being 5-limbed. Starfishes got no ass, and puke their stomachs onto their meal.Meanwhile, eldar are simply "long-eared Swiss" or whatever.

Coming close to just making my own grot army datasheets at this point since GW won't be doing anything soon.
>>98064891Is irrelevant for species that evolved in completely different, alien environments. Convergent evolution is a crutch for lazy writers and also misunderstood. Obviously it's not that common or there would be more species on earth that are similar to humans, but there aren't.>but crabs evolved like 5 separate times!Yeah and 100 gorillion other things evolved on this same planet that are nothing like crabs, convergent evolution is a meme. It happens but it's not really frequent at all. The idea that it would apply to alien races growing on different planets is fucking retarded.The Old Ones engineering most of the human-like races is a much better explanation, and luckily it's canon.
>>98064930I do not respect your opinion on the matter
>>98064918no
>>98064937>Is irrelevant for species that evolved in completely different, alien environmentsIt's not.Convergent evolution doesn't care what environment the organisms live in, just care about the same evolutionary pressures.
>>98064742This is gonna be my warlord for my Spectacle of Spite game this weekend
>>98064917It's funnier if the 80s action heroes hypermasculinity is something that develops convergently in both humans and tau.And doing minis of fanarts and memes is commendable.
>>98064937there were numerous human like species but we killed them all or forced them underground
>>98064668>I do not respect naked xenosIt's going to be very difficult to create armour for a species that is effectively a shape-shifter. You can get tribal clothes at most!I wouldn't mind kroot getting Yautja-levels of gear and clothing. They have FTL and actual Tau don't, for starters.
>>98064934The UK is plagued with nail salons on every street corner.
>>98064948Yeah and you don't even get the same evolutionary pressures on two islands separated by a matter of miles, we're talking planets separated by hundreds or thousands of light years. Convergent evolution is a meme for midwits.
>>98064937and of those 100 gorrilion only like two types of them have any chance of going into space and thus becoming relevant in a sci fi setting
>>98064961Those weren't convergent though, they were divergent, branching from the same root primates.
>>98064961>or forced them undergroundThe what!
>>98064962>They have FTL and actual Tau don't, for starters.You are outdated. The Tau have Warp FTL.It only works for small fleets atm, but they are working on making it available for large fleets
>>98064978don't ask questions you don't want answers to
>>98064975On earth.The other xenos races aren't from earth dumbass.
>>98064915>having a go at grass being green or the sun for rising in the morningDragon ball has blue grass, and many stars are actually binaries
>>98064961nta but that's a bad argument because they were all related to us and it was only the common ancestor that developed the common elementsexcept for ones that went underground before we popped up
>>98064927>they don't have much in common beyond looking similarTrue. Bipeds *without* flat toenails :^)
Apologies for possibly bringing up meta thread eceleb bullshit but do you guys happen to have a schizo who (claims to) play(s) guard and is kind of slow? Thanks.
>>98065002There are like 5 of them
>>98065002>schizo who (claims to) play(s) guard and is kind of slow
>>98065002Why? Is yours missing?
>>98064979Barely; they're still no match for Kroot FTL. Unironically I think Tau FTL has the particularity of, besides being short ranged and only barely dipping into the warp, that it fails when broadcasted on planetary TV.The warp is a dimension of emotion, so massed witnessing might actually affect the result and cause it to fail.
>>98064943I didn't expect you to, nor do I particularly care.
>>98065002That's every guardfag in the thread other than the real SLfagEvery time they pop up and get uppity people post models and ask to see the guardfag's models and they just melt down and deflect
>>98064957I agree, but this cannot happen here, so I will commit sudoku to restore honor and balance
>>98065030holy revisionism, batman
>>98064969You don't always need the same exact pressures.You basically need ones which would force similiar adaptations from the organisms to the pressures. You clearly don't know how evolutionary biology works, I can tell.
>>98065031curious coincidence here
>>98065038>revisionismremember 5 days ago when a chaosfag asked a guard larper to post models and he just started screaming he was indian and that he totally owned 3e modelslol
>>98065044Subarashi, subarashi...
>>98065021???The T'au Slipstream Drives' current models are comparable in speed to Imperial Warp Drives. They are said to be faster than the Votann Warp Drives.The Tau crossed their entire empire in a few days with the Slipstream drive. The Tau Empire is an empire whose size, depending on the sources, ranges from 20 to 100 settled systems.
>>98065044>exactly the mini I was looking for!
>>98065066>They are said to be faster than the Votann Warp Drives.Pfft this is how you know that's propaganda. Nobody beats Votann in the warp>The Tau crossed their entire empire in a few days with the Slipstream driveWoah the entire hexagon!
If anyone has old Caucasian midget issues that would be great, I am looking for anything from 200 to 300 if possible. Feel free to tell me to go fuck myself but GW doesn't hold back ups for WD that are that old,
>>98065079
>>98065079>Woah the entire hexagon!Space is 3d, not 2d.Calculate the distance of a cluster of 20 and 100 systems to know the speed of crossing them in a few days.>Pfft this is how you know that's propaganda. Nobody beats Votann in the warpThe 10th Votann codex is the source of the lore.
>>98065079>Nobody beats Votann in the warpnobody beats the votann drives on safety, not speedbut I'm not sure about anon's claim that they're slower than tau drives
>>98065092See >>98065090
>>98065051>remember 5 days agoI don't live here.I doubt that happen how you claim it happened, if it happened at all.
>>98065090>Calculate the distance of a cluster of 20 and 100 systemsUh, 22 light years? It really isn't that much.Maybe both things can be true: Tau FTL can be faster than Votann's, but have shorter range. A short Tau sprint to Votann's slow but steady ultramarathon
>>98065002I got a printer to mitigate the costs of a guard army through stls and to make my homebrew guard more unique but I fell into the “planning and preparation” trap so I haven’t used it yet.So if by slow you mean slow to paint and retarded then yeah I fit them.Send help, positive energy and thoughts and prayers for me.>>98065051Nta but I need to see this.>IndianHow do I conduct myself as a positive representation of the imperial guard fan collective to restore lost izzat?Or at the very least slow down the constantly disappearing izzat because of spergs?
>>98065119According to AI, it's 300 light years.>The T'au Empire is a relatively small, dense region of space on the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy, estimated to be roughly 300 light-years in diameter
>>98065079What are the votann’s relations with the Tau?Quite frankly I wonder how chaos legions view tau.If I was a writer I’d have big names like Abby ignore the tau as anything that forces the imperium to divert manpower as machines away from the legion is a good thing.But I’m not sure if the names chaos space marines are pragmatic or comically evil or both.
>>98065018Some tard is shitting up aosg, I assume that's why
>>98065160Some tard is shitting up wfg too
>>98065145It varies depending on the Kin faction.Generally, they have semi-cordial relationships-Trade partners who exchange technologies and material goods.-Allies through merc contracts or mutual benefit. Though relationships soured in the Chalnath Expanse as the Leagues attacked the T'au-held worlds.The T'au believe that the Kin they encountered are the last of their kind after being nommed by Tyranids. The Kin, for some reason, don't clear this up to them.>Quite frankly I wonder how chaos legions view tau.Word Bearers hate them for being secular.The Death Guard regularly clash with the T'au since they are now neighbours. The Death Guard seek to corrupt the ordered and clen worlds of the T'au Empire as an offering to Nurgle.ADB wrote his desire to write a meeting between Abaddon and the T'au. He said that Abaddon would have recognised in the T'au something ironic, how they are a mirror copy of the Great Crusade.
>>98065181probably the same cretin playing both sides lmao, some people really have too much time on their hands
>>98065139If that's Tau that's Tau, but there's 74 systems within 22 light years of us alone. And the sun isn't even in a "cluster". Didn't save as a gif before, srry.There are no 3d hexagons, but a 3d pentagon is an icosahedron
Redid an apothecary while I wait for some kits to arrive for my Guard Army, going to do a command squad then its back to infantry
>>98065196*dodecahedron, sorry!
>>98065145For most factions, Votann think profits above everything else. They hate Orks a lot though.
>>98065160>>98065181I checked those threads.Was pretty good but is the usual stuff in those threads.Not like the one time a sperg got so booty blasted he started “shitposting” pictures of lads defecating in a thread.>too much time on their handsI felt that. I have too much time as evidenced by being here I should pick up a hobby.Like maybe trying to be funny and making a pic related edit for every 40k army.
>>98065160>check aosg >meltdowns and anons arguing over retarded shitdamn, nice to see we aren’t alone in having retard meltdowns. out of curiosity, are there any regular lolcows there that are similar to the ones /40kg/ has?
>>98065187>The T'au believe that the Kin they encountered are the last of their kind after being nommed by Tyranids.Yeah and the Eldar are also "the last of their dying race", but here we are, 10 thousand years later...>The Kin, for some reason, don't clear this up to them.lmao
>>98065230only the gotenigger but he seems to have calmed down lately
>>98065187>>98065219Thanks lads!>adb writing Abby to see tau as another great crusadeI mean it is kind of there but really how is Abby like when adb is doing the writing?
>>98065160Just checked. It's apparently some fakegrog who was bullied off /v/ then bullied off wfg then came to aosg then got bullied off again. People are weird.
>>98065241>goteIs this an acronym of different words I’m not familiar with?I basically live on this website and I think I missed out on that.
>>98065247Is it genuine trolling or something that I can only describe as “not deliberately trying to troll but getting the results actual dedicated trolls could only dream of?”
>>98065252I'm not sure of the reason myself but I think it's a purposeful misspelling of goat since that faggot would always post half-finished, poorly assembled beastmen when called out
>>98065030That one Krieg /m/fag is cool too.
>>98065230well there was a avatarfag who posted with some Homestuck character. Later as kragnos got revealed there were bets and he proclaimed to eat his own Underpants Kragnos was no Chaos unit. Well he lost and suprisingly he fullfilled his promise.Then he just kind of left.
>>98064932I am fine with Eldar looking human-like but I always prefer them to be depicted just a little too uncanny valley for comfort, as the lore intends them to be. Artists routinely either make them attractive humans with pointed ears or just ugly and bizarre. They are ultimately Warhammer fantasy elves transplanted into a sci-fi setting, and Warhammer fantasy elves are basically just follow the Tolkien template. It is what it is.
>>98065291EC
>>98065291You already posted this one a while ago.Tyranids.
>>98065266Perrymanlet might be the worst one. Someone who belives what he says. Unironic retard for whom the culture war bs utterly rotted the brain matter.
>>98065291>it was perrynigger all alongnot even surprising at this point honestly
>>98065252no he's a beastman fag who had like 6 painted modelshe pops up here occasionally with one single badly painted death guard and krieger to shitpost too
>>98065291Space Wolves.

>>98064932I almost never see non humanoid aliens that show up more often than a monster of the week acting meaningfully different from humans
>>98065230Not really, usually it's pretty calm down there. Sometimes you get some guy wandering over from /v/ flinging shit, like is happening now, but they don't have any resident tards shitting things up. It's actually been very chill lately, well up until now.>>98065252The goatslopper or goteslopper is a guy known for starting shit in several of the warhammer generals. Nothing special honestly just kind of a prick.His name derives from an instance where he was shitting on some new anon here for not cleaning his mouldlines well, he then gets asked to post his own models, and predictably they're covered head to toe in the worst mouldlines you've ever seen. Tried to play it off by pretending they were "imperfections of the camera", funny stuff. I'm sure someone has the screencaps. Anyway they were beastmen models, hence the gote.
>>98065311I don't see why the niggers here actually care about stuff like that/respond to it when being here long enough should desensitize you to the point of that stuff just being boring and unoriginal
>>98065252>>98065324Always good for a chuckle
Confession: i buy warhammer minis prepainted to use for dnd minis but i’ve never played an actual game of 40k. I have a shoebox with a squad of alpha leigon marines under my coffee table alongside an unpainted box of boyz. I’m a fraud.
>>98065360>those post coloursDidn't know Slaanesh was browsing /tg/?
>>98065118>I doubt that happen how you claim it happened, if it happened at all.cope, larping guardfag>>98065123
>>98065382Your original post talked of a guardfag going into a meltdown, and now it's a chaosfag who hates guard.That guy is a faggot, but you're not making sense.
>>98065360>>98065382These posts are certainly the most interesting
>>98065400that post was in response to guardfags having meltdowns, learn to read bud!
>>98065270Alright.>beastmen I remember an anon who posted a “remote mine” proxy which was Victoria miniature bits made beastmen suicide bomber.I am copying it but with stls.I have been looking at the reptilian overlords for strong arms to hopefully hold a device we presume to be the bomb detonator. But maybe I’ll just stick to head and legs replacements when editing the Vic minis penal guard human bomb.It was a grim conversion. Dark even.If you’re there anon that made it I love your conversion and I hope your games are fun and other people love your conversion.>>98065303Think he’ll ever get help?I’ll admit I’ve been a cheeky spice but and I feel regret every time afterwards.>>98065324Thanks anon.>>98065360I need a better phone to look at this stuff but I’ll try. Thank you!
>>98065410>learn to readnigga learn to write
>>98065412sorry that your illiteracy is affecting your comprehension this badly!
>>98064836spic shit?
This might be the rarest sprue I own
>>98065426something about this pisses me off.
>>98065382him owning models is respectable, but damn that’s some shit taste thinking imperial guard isn’t cool.
>>98065378Made on Valentine's day
>>98065426Why is it spray painted chrome?
>>98065442guard isn't cool thoughbeitand guard players are the lamest faggots in the hobby
Is "Soulbrewers" a good name for CSM warband?I got these wolf termies and i plan to convert them into a Slaanesh alinged Dark Wolfes offshoot.
>>98065459bast
>>98065459They sound like alcoholics. And if they are traitor SW, that would make sense.
>>98065462yea bascally I got an idea for an Black and purple coloured chaos warband and Skyrar's Dark Wolves was a neat jumping point. and the leader's name Aemond the Blood Brewer kind of speaks of why would they split of.

>>98065378Didn't you see the femboy porn posted earlier?
do you use all your matching decorations on every base or should some in a squad be more plain so it doesn't look cluttered
>>98065484NGL, kinda lame, they would look better (and work better as a trophy you can display) assembled. Still better than the necron one tho
>>98065426Glorious Black Reach era marines
>>98065502I don't do decorations on every base. That's way too cluttered. Small rocks and grass tufts are fine, but having 3 skulls and a dead guy on every base is too much.
>>98065454I like the guard.:(Is the guard’s negative reputation mostly because of the bad examples from the community and not the concept of the imperial guard itself?
>>98065426Lad you might be able to sell that to a scalper for a marked up percentage Pokémon scalpers strive to achieve.
>>98065530I would say so, yes. Although the way that they keep pushing cadians is really annoying. It's also the most "vanilla" army in the game, even more so than space marines.
Hiding from Ol’ Bale-eye
>>9806555410/10 propah sneaky
>>98065502One in three guys gets a bush unless they are a character. Otherwise I keep it plain
>>98065535>than space marinesTo be fair I quite loved seeing the hypocrisy of marine boys displayed in having the stupidity to criticize guard players for being rivet counters or caring about a “glup shitto” regiment that was just another gas mask faction when steel legion was neglected and then when the concept sketches came out.
>>98065530player reputation and le normal human in le crazy galaxy is not an interesting faction, only self-important fags selfsuck over that shit
>>98065540can i get my hopes up for 11th introducing a Flayed Ones expansion or should I just get back in the cuck shed
when the FUCK are we getting exodites?
Found this in a Tau discussion thread. Does this imply that Tau IQs are higher than humans since humans cannot understand the Tau meta-strategies Kauyon and Mont'ka?
>>98065569>Something cool and not fake and gay>An army with a lot of opportunities for converting dollar store dinosaurs instead of buying GW plasticsLMAO! You're getting Eldar in bikinis (male) at most
>>98065554Now that's one tactical orck
>>98065569kill team this yearnext year corsair style wave as allies for Craftworlders
>>98065565What is your favorite army?It better not be marines of any flavor because there’s a lot of autism there that crossovers with guard autism.But you won’t ready any of it if you ask me to point a good number of them out.
>>98065570No, that's not what people mean when they're talking about something being beyond comprehension in such terms.
>>98065579well now you unlocked the memory of when there was a Rolling thread abaut an eldar Craftworld which had Exodite culture because their shrine world was in part an in active craftworld that then got activated and just kind of flew araund.
>>98065592>guardfag so mindbroken he's preemptively seething about marineslmao fuck offt. necronchad
>>98065579Exodites are not JUST dinos + elves. They are also the Eldar equivalent of knight worlds. So big robots and big dinos.
>>98065454>saying this when space marine players exist
>>98065598>necronchadVery good choice actually.If it was marine autism then they basically open themselves up for being booty blasted when hypocrisies and projections are pointed out.
>>98065604marine players are tolerableguard subhumans are not
>>98065613>tolerable>years of primaris are king>years of scale autism >years armor autismDon’t try it anon.Anyways keep buying those marine releases so every non-marine enjoyer can enjoy their actually interesting factions.Thanks in advance.
>>98065613four out of five of the biggest lolcows here are/were marinefags.
>>98065621>>98065622here come the uppity guard secondaries
>>98065603>dSo they also have wraith constructs with embedded souls? Or is it more like wifi with the world circuit or whatever that thing is called.
>>98065603Average Exodite world.jpg
>>98065625They are no where near as insufferable as marinefags have been.The anon who greentexted you responded to is right.>t. Ork model owner
>>98065603Sure but the mere possibility of conversions that don't involve just warhammer kits keeps GW awake at night so no big robot and dino space elf army (Literary the coolest thing ever)I can't believe GW hasn't tried to castrate Ork scratch build potential yet And the true sage is to play homebrew and make a codex for them yourself
>>98065637you can keep coping all you want
>Think Imperial Agents look cool>They're the worst faction in the game that even in casual play, they're still dogshitHow do we buff them?
>>98065643giving them an army rule would help.
>>98065642name one guardfag as obnoxious as the mutant or PAKanon.
>>98065653every steel legion whiner
>>98065642I like how you can’t refute the call outs of marine autism yet you marinefags act superior.Remember the biggest thorn in this general’s side right now is a marinefag of the space wolf variety.Now I suggest you sit down so you don’t lose anymore izzat.
When applying yellow, should I do more than 2 thin coats of paint?
>>98065653all the faggots screaming that the krieg refresh ruined their designs>>98065657I'm not a marinefag, notice you can't argue without creating scapegoatsvery curious>>98065658do coats until you have full coverage, with transparent paints like yellows and oranges it can take 3-5 thin coats
>>98065656That was legitimately justified though.I’ll put it in a language you have to be retarded to not understand:Armageddon without steel legion is like the Horus Heresy without space marines.But go on and keep going I’m loving the desperation on display.
>>98065658When it comes to yellow, you may be better off starting with a khaki basecoat before working up to yellow, it's a tough colour. That other anon has the right idea as well.
>>98065664no guard regiment matters
>>98065662>I’m not a marinefagI doubt that since you’re very upset.Still no refutations.Better choose your next words with exceptional care before I’ll accept your capitulation.
>>98065656>this bait againYou're mad guardfags asked for SL and are getting it.
>>98065643They don't really function as their own and should really be combined with another Imperial faction. This isn't gonna be a popular opinion but lore-wise it would make the most sense to combine them with Guard.
>>98065669They do.Now keep buying those marine releases so everyone else can enjoy their actually interesting armies.

>>98065662>all the faggots screaming that the krieg refresh ruined their designssorry anon, they didn’t end up spending the next few years throoding in order to make “PLASTIC KRIEG ARE KING” as the OP and begin hating any non-krieg IG model by proxy in order to defend plastic krieg. no where near as obnoxious as PAKanon, try again.
>>98065688>>98065689watch as the guard secondaries lash out in panic
>>98065662>do coats until you have full coverageWhere I don't see the contrast paint popping through the layer paint, yes? I loved painting the armor panels and seeing the darker yellow under the lighter yellow.
>>98065684Let’s see one model of yours with a hand written time stamp.It can be here or in the next thread.I’ll post some of mine after you.
>>98065695>making demand without posting timestamped modelslmao fuck off tourist
>Reveal that 10e was gonna add a whole new army to the game>Reveal Imperial Agents>They're so dogshit that whatever hype they had was destroyedDid they flop on release? They must have sold well in the beginning at least since it was a new army, right?
>>98065698Will you post a time stamped model after I post one?Doesn’t have to be painted.I don’t need booty blasted marinefags schizo stalking my ork enjoyer ass.If you refuse or be silent It will be an extra concession and more lost izzat.
>>98065702I always post models when people actually know how this general worksCurious that you're this desperate for an excuse not to post yours
>>98065691>complaining about people using scapegoats calling him a marinefag>repeatedly accuses others of being guardfags in order to defend his pointat least be consistent.
>>98065709Will you post a model after I post mine with a timestamp.Yes or concession?
>>98065710yeah I'm sure the very real orknigger really cares about guard players this muchyour larp is tiresome, where are those models
>>98065695betting $10 its the csm pajeet again
>>98065716Probably not. Izzat is kind of a meme phrase.I think it is like social credit score on steroids.Not like any faction really has a good reputation because of autists.
>>98065716>It's poopdickschizo!!!definition of rent free
>>98065714Already said yes, let's see your very real models
>>98065656Clearly SL fans were justified in their outcry since GW agreed. At least they're not as delusional as DE fags.
>>98065684>It's not bait I swear>Make the most explicit bait reply possible

>>98065734>fag who doesn't post models and demands others post their models lacks enough object permanence recognition to correlate a consistent model and choice of improvised lightbox material to photos from another poster who is very active in the threadsI guess the fear of being doxxed and stalked if you are called out to post models is unfounded, this dude could walk by you every day and never pick you out of a lineup.
>>98065931this is a fresh cope, almost as embarrassing as the retard posting a box thinking that countsand the necronfag didn't demand models, the orkfag started it and crashed out when reminded that he needed to post a timestamped model when manking demands
>>98065944I have absolutely no skin in this game as it was my first reply in the chain but if you are going to make model posting demands, then move goalposts when an anon not only delivers but does so as an identifiable and a consistent poster in the general, you deserve to get clowned on (and were). Good night, idiot.
>>98065965the orkfag made the first demand, then tried to get an out as soon as he found out it's thread etiquette to post models with timestamp if you're gonna pull that card so people know you're not just a shitstirrer who'd obsess over you after you obliged the requestthe necronfag obliged it after he posted his halfpainted ork, the other orkfag thought posting a box of unpainted unassembled pewter counted as modelposting and crashed out when he immediately got mocked(you) are a retard
>>98064749The sanghelli and the covenant in general got more in common with the imperium than T'au or Eldar
>>98064440Those are both still in the game, technically.If we go by models rather than rules, than Blood Angels Tactical Squad was a blip.
