>>98069307That's a decent look for Valhallan. wish they had a different weapon pattern but otherwise they're very spiffyI love the design of the heavy snow boots and the coat is great, it makes the ice warriors more than just soviets in space. I suppose it's something like wiring or hot water pipes, either is very cool.Hoping we get a valhallan KT, would love to add a squad of these along my other regiments to each an even richer guard soup.
Your opinion/view/model/take - wrongMy opinion/view/model/take - Right
Renegade Marines
>>98069302if I made space wolves there wouldnt be a single face revealed, and not a single inch of skin visible, also I wouldn't allow any wolfy stuff like fenris wolves or riders or wulfen in my lists>I would treat them as a legion foregoing the codex beset by guilliman>or I would run the other legion; black templarsThe only thing I want is the legion lore of ignoring the codex.
>>98069307I kinda forgot he didn't already have a model. Guard players are eating well this year.

What was it like to play IG from this book?Spam infantry platoons and armoured fist units? I have this book and was always curious what it was like to play them.
>TQ SW all day ery day
KINDKOLOSSALKUSTODESKNOCKERS
>>98069339If the sword is on your left hip (as in the image), you draw it with your right hand.Similarly, the pistol (on the model) is oriented for a cross body draw, meaning he would hold it with his right hand.they are in the correct hands
>>98069339>retard
>>98069251>Which in your opinion is the most well-written BL novel? I tend to listen to audio books because they are simply not worth reading much of the time, but if you had to pick one that actually has good prose and warrants the time investment, which one would it be?Death or Glory is my favorite. A lot of the earlier Cain books really. As an extra bonus, the Cain books are written in first-person narrative with occasional interjections from Amberley. Which is a great format for audiobooks.
>>98069349Use this one, same edition
>>98069310I don't know I haven't read it
>>98069337>AYYYAAADo you mean FIYYYAAAA???
>>98069352sexo, mucho sexo señorita!
>>98069302>TQYou tell me>POST ARMY
>>98069349>how was it like playing in 3rd edition?>I mean, what was meta?You need to abandon the 10th ed compfag mindset, if you want to understand 3rd.
>>98069348Actually, where the hell do they even get nail polish and makeup? Is there some Craftworld that just makes it for them?
I like orks :Dstill gotta do the eyes and base, but the bouncer is pretty much done. also, as an update, I had a normie friend pick out the color scheme for the bouncer originally, and she said “it would look cool if he had a dark green shirt with black armor to look tough”. very orky choice. however, she also asked if she could name these three gits, and when I said yes, she ended up naming them “Alexander, Oswald, and Leonard” not a very orky choice, but those are their names now.
>>98069365Fairly sure fox says Ayaaa
>>98069337>>98069365[rapid stick noises]
What size drillbit to drill out the barrels on marine bolters?
>>98069368>mixing HH, oldmarines and primarisUtterly based
>>98069302>TQ
>>98069362Im just talking pure gameplay. I assume it was snipers to pin and just shoot the bejesus out of the enemy with endless lasguns and tsnk support?>>98069370I didn't mean like that, just what was the general gameplan?
>>98069350furfag on the right looks like dogshit
>>98069378The Path of the Beautician, Craftworld Sephora
>>98069354Its "wrong" in the sense that Cain canonically uses his right hand to shoot. He's got augmetic fingers on that hand and is always talking about how they help steady his aim. Just a placebo according to Amberley.But since he's clearly posing for the camera in that miniature, the hand he's using doesn't matter. Shit, in the artwork he's also preening for the camera, and using a bolt pistol instead of his usual laspistol (visible in its holster) because it looks cooler.
>>98069302>TQ I dunno. I am making a slaaneshi space wolf warband so...None?
>>98069322>Vash-Torr!>~Az-ra-el~...>Watcher-in-the-dark!>Lueegi...
>>98069388I use .8mm to center and then 1mm to drill
Has Slaanesh gone too far?
>>98069392>I didn't mean like that>talks about combo shitLost cause, you are.
Goa'uld?
>>98069395The pistol is oriented such that he would draw it with his right hand. The grip would be the other way around for a left handed draw.
Can an eldarfag or equivalent confirm me if that's the old avengers kit
>>98069307Mmm, mon-keigh.
>>98069401>too fara phrase that does not exist in Slaanesh's vocabulary
>>98069410Yes it is.
>>98069395Google "cross draw pistol"
>>98069350>shrike literally got demoted because he didn't have enough rizz
>>98069401is it weird that I don’t hate this? I think it would be cooler if the “lipstick round” would explode into glossy goo that covered everyone in the area and melted everything it touched.
>>98069352Hold on, this isn't canon. Female custodians don't look or dress like that.
>>98069406why aren't the headpieces reasonable size like in this pic, they'd be so much cooler
>>98069350I hate tactical rocks especially when the poses are shit.
>>98069393What a dog water opinion
>>98069307they should stat naming mini artists again so we know who to blame for all the shit ones
>>98069412Kek
>>98069428
>>98069425I mean, it fits. Slannesh is supposed to look repulsive. Any fetish taken to an extreme is horror material. Just doesn't fit the feel of current 40k.
>>98069428Manlets gonna manlet, in Cain's case it makes sense that he would always try to find a rock to stand on.
>>98069331Valhallan 597th Kill Team or Combat Patrol would have a lot of things going for it aesthetically. You got the mixed-sex regiment, the Valhallan outfits, the Spetsnaz infantry+light vehicles style, and Cain himself. A Commissar who frequently attaches himself at the squad level. It also gets used so often as an Inquisitors' personal Guard regiment that you could throw Amberley and some of her goons in as Imperial Agents.Also, Kasteen is a babe
>>98069428Standard procedure.I like that it's easy to toss the tac rock aside but I don't like paying for the extra plastic
>>98069430its a shitty ai image that took me a few seconds to generate idk man
>vostroyan MTO was such a catastrophe everyone is talking about Jurgen/Valhallans instead
>>98069448even ai knows their headpiece proportions are bad
>>98069404Brah i just want to know if infantry was used much. Did IG armies look what you'd imagine. Though from your responses i assume so.
>>98069445>mixed sex regimentsAh, that's how they're gonna ruin it, by having the regiments with the big thick coats have half of the bodies obviously boob'd.Hopefully the new season of kill team is GW trying to remove the limitation of "only squads", so we may see some fun stuff as well.
>>98069451I like them big
>>98069409>>98069421I know, I'm saying the artwork is wrong and the miniature is right.
>>98069307I'm assuming those are heating elements running through Jurgen's coat, that's a nice touch full Valhallan release when
>>98069452Yes, the army & tank faction had people use infantry.
>>98069321Fixed
>>98069467Eldar need to have their grill helmets again
>>98069446
>>98069428could have been a generic head option btw. I will say I do like how he’s just standing normally though. doesn’t feel like he’s trying to be stylish and heroic he’s able to do that just with his presence.
>>98069391very nice anon
>>98069481erm, aren’t longshanks not allowed to be commissars?
>>98069340what in the world is this even referencing?
>>98069494I can't hear you from up here
>>98069047Here's what I've got finished so far. The Wraithlord with the Rangers was my Crucible Character for last month's collage. This is the stuff I'm working on right now.>Wave Serpent (Just needs some touchups before being done)>Wraithblades (Working a bit on the weapons right now, then just need to do their bases)>Some Warlocks, a Farseer, and a Spiritseer (Bases again, plus some small details here and there)>Guardians (Weapons and bases, plus some edge highlighting on the armor)>A 3rd Wraithlord (Weapons and Bases, again)On the backburner I have 10 more Wraithguard, Eldrad Ulthran, and a Falcon all primed ready for painting, Infinity's Lament some Aspect Warriors, and a few other Characters ready for Priming, and a kitbashed Wraithseer I'm still working on. All that's gonna be put on hold though so I can work on my Big Guy for this month's collage (He's already primed and ready for painting this week, just want to get the Eldar off the painting table first).
>>98069302>Tq: I can go either way. Russ is just doing his job and magnus is just trying to defend himself. They both have flaws and reasons for me to hate them. Russ is a punk who fights dirty and magnus thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. But I get the situation
Looks like Wyches have been removed from the 40k storefront.-1 Drukhari unit?
>>98069412Hot take but more Imperials should look weird and partly inhuman like this. The Imperium is spread across a million worlds with people mutating and drifting genetically, and sometimes that's not QUITE enough to reach the status of full on abhuman like a Ratling or an Ogryn but it would still look weird to us. Imperials shouldn't all look like normal people from the 3rd millennium.
I can't choose between the following color schemes for my craftworld:>white and red, with teal accents>white and dark blue>either of the above, but with bone color instead of white>white and bone with light blue>army green and red>red with teal and yellow accentsThe problem is, I also want to set aside a color scheme for Exodites in case they get added next, and I don't want them to be too similar to my craftworlders.
>>98069350Mogged by Raven Chad
>>98069508>Iyandenbased
>>98069456rubric marines turning into standard tactical squads in combat instead of being slow and dumb but durable makes the concept not work, necrons got it right
Anyone got this months whitedrawf, or can screencap the story where Wazdakka and Doomrider fight?
>>98069508Sniper Wraithlord is kino
>>98069529they are only like that because they are led by an aspiring sorcerer if he dies they kinda just stand around like a bunch of idiots
>Cool faction>shit color scheme and aesthetics ruins themWho is it /tg/?
>>98069302>TQI don't have a dog in this fight (heh) but I really liked Prospero Burns so I go with the Wolves
>>98069538Eldar more than anyone, really.
>>98069538DEldarAll of their main Cabal schemes are boring as fuck and they look weird in brighter colours
>>98069461God bless, thank you for the honest answer.
>>98069544in what way?
>>98069350fuck you mean that some unwashed boomer mogs kayvaan? Logan looks like he's about to lecture you for not having bought a house yet
Haven't read the buks, who is the meltaguy?
>>98069302>TQ: reddit convention or furry convention Neither I hope they kill each other.
>>98069558he's a blank with a meltagun that smells like shitevery time cain is about to get mogged by a psyker juren just blasts it
>>98069350upjumped hobo circus tamer
>>98069523But GW has been doing this. They've been adding all sorts of diverse mutations of the human form into recent kits.
>>98069391Saw the Tzeentch Daemon battleforce in my LGS the other day. Cannot justify £140-150 for it though.
>>98069553Often painted too plainly, greebles and stuff on their armour look better done as gemstones, and the undersuits look better done in a darker colour than the outer plates, but at some point 'eavy metal started getting really lazy with eldar and doing them in these extremely boring schemes lacking detail where all that stuff is one solid colour.Aesthetics have also gotten weaker over time, the cone head helmets have changed shape to become more boring instead of swooping back with detail and strange, interesting geometry. Shuriken catapults got less interesting looking too generally, with the big disc section taken out and now they look more like a standard gun.Just lots of stuff like this had added up over time. Eldar have the potential to look really cool and alien but so many of the minis or the official ways they are painted don't do them justice at all.
>>98069544Biel-tan not being red is a crime. Nothing says aggression and war like white and green amirite? like the fug
>>98069568like what?
>SHIEEED DAMAGOS, THEM RAWBOT CRACKURRS BE WILDIN' UP IN THIS CRIBT
>>98069559Based sons of horus enjoyer
>>98069566>every time cain is about to get mogged by a psyker juren just blasts itKek
>>98069566Isn't being around a blank basically torment for people though?>He smells like shitWhy doesn't he shower?
>>98069520>They will actually refresh Wyches instead of Haemonoculi/MercsJesus Christ
>>98069588If we go by our current physiology, Necrontyr were far more likely to be black or tanned due to the raging of their homeworlds star.
>>98069550whoever the sickly spooky green-blue guys are, they look great
>>98069584The original idea behind Biel-tan I think was to do them as like, army green, because we associate that with military, but also that they are the aspect warrior heavy craftworld so most of the units would be done in their aspect colours and not the biel-tan green anyways.
>>98069591he smells like shit because that's what his blank-ness manifests as. Juren is clean but the 'wrongness' that people feel towards him manifests as them thinking he smells like shit
>>98069591not necessarily, it can also be just mild discomfort.
>>98069350Shrike's entire gimmick is that he's young, hot sadboi with mysterious past, he should be on the right
he monkey
>>98069481Next time, commissar Gadget, next time!
>>98069584They're also extreme environmentalists. They like their maiden worlds Hence the green. They also believe in racial purity hence the white.
>>98069520Drukhari players! Rejoice! James shall bless you with a new kit!The Wych Slicey-Dicey Maim squad (5 models in a kill team box. £45).
>>98069607munke
>>98069591He used to shower, but because being a blank is so repulsive to everyone, people treated him like a dirty rat in his regiment, so he just stopped showering because people assumed he didn't. He also just casually reads porn during important meetings, stuffs whole sandwiches in his jacket to eat days later, and that Meltagun might be stolen.
>>98069607Mfw thinking of the hot steamy sex I'll have again soon
>>98069568I know you're making a femoid/negro joke but I'm being serious I want actual mutability of 40k humans shown more. With things like ratlings, ogryns, longshanks, etc evolving on different planets there would be "missing links" that are halfway between, colonists that are more recent to extreme worlds whose physiology is still another 10k years away from going full abhuman.
>>98069611they would have to be exceptionally sexualized for me to even consider buying another dark eldar product after what James has done to lelith
>>98069401The bimbofication process is almost invariably fatal. Even to a space marine. The rapid cellular expansion explodes the heart.
>>98069607That's actually pretty good face by GW standards, that had to cost like 6 Xenos releases
>>98069607>Cheap Orks on ebay from marinepiggies
>>98069307This looks kinda bad.
>>98069621Nah, it's not lethal. It adds insult to injury.Nothing more embarrassing than being turned into a blowup doll.
>>98069350how it feels knowing that russ is dead?
>>98069520remind me if the global/rest of the world was the indicator or some specific location shop? Even if they get refreshed im not really shocked given how iirc they're the last unit that's using small base AND has the support line going through it just so they can keep their poses
>>98069636Show me the body
When some stinky Fenrisian craKKKa is shitting up the place so you hit him with the 100% Prosperan hotep eyes
>>98069391This is how a TS army should look, add some varietions of vehicles, magic dreads, other tanks, mutated marines but not pic related or shitty fantasy beastmen.
>>98069350kek hold on, is the image trying to imply that dogshit on the right looks better than anything on the left?
>>98069520>>98069594It's so over... they're going to prudify the wyches like they did to repentia... then they won't sell many and then the business guys will go I GUESS PEOPLE DONT LIKE DARK ELDAR and will hardly ever allow anything to be updated for them ever again. It's actually fucking over.
>>98069653you have to be over 18 to use this site
>>98069650Tzaangors were in from the beginning you newfag.
>>98069650did you not notice that he included the Sekhtar robots but did the correct thing and replace the shitty GW paintjob with the actual Thousand Sons one
>>98069520o allah, we fucking cursed
>>98069656You keep pointing to this like it proves anything
>>98069655This line doesn't even make sense in this context anon, come up with better bait. What underage person is calling them "dark eldar" when all they know is "drukhari"?
>>98069607You think the sculptor was paid for do this on purpose? Or he just tried his best to imitate the art (and ended with a ñiteral monkey)?
>>98069520Not gone on my store (britbong)
I always wrote knee flange and double-layered chest armor hate off as sperg ramblings, but primaris jump packs are one of the most vile things to come out of the primaris design language
>>98069401i would take this over coneheads.
>>98069667Primaris are cool. Accept superior design.
Everyone should logically be using jetpacks, but now that all primaris are and flying around with heavy weapons looking like retards I'm mad.
>>98069662It does, it proves you're a newfag whose opinions do not matter.Thousand Sons should not be entirely marines, they are supposed to be a mix of a small number of marine elites with things like spawn, tzaangors, tzeentch daemons, cultists, and weird warmachines.
>>98069667It's just a jumppack.
>>98069657I know, bro did a good job still i believe TA deserve better. In both quality and quantity. And not birds.
>>98069681You keep crying and pointing this hullshit, the reality is nobody likes some fantasy beastmen with bolters slapped to them. You can keep talking about lore all you want, that doesnt translate to the quality of the army.
>>98069667Add to that crime the lack of harness
>>98069653how you think wytches will end looking like?
>>98069677>Everyone should logically be using jetpacksNothing about that is logical. Jet packs are heavy, bulky, require fuel which is limited, they get in the way of trying to do indoors operations, they're useless in tunnels and mostly useless in boarding actions, all the kinds of stuff marines are primarily most useful for. They are a niche tool to use when the situation requires it.Marines typically do not take fights in big open spaces. If there's a massive field to fight over you don't send fucking marines, you send titan legions.
>>98069650that's the ugliest weeb zone of enders shit thing I've ever seen, what the hell is ti doing in 40k in a psace marine army
>>98069683>I knowNo you did not.
>>98069701lame and gay
>>98069681>>98069696I wouldn't mind tzaangors if TS got actual cool stuff. We wouldn't even be talking about tzaangors if the TS range wasn't this barren
>>98069673Awesome designfor ork looters
>>98069696>You keep cryingNo actually you're the one who is crying and begging GW to change the faction and do it based on your faggot headcanon instead of what the faction has always actually been.
>>98069508Very nice
>>98069683I think thousand sons should be squatted and keep the HH faggotry in 30k and be replaced with a generic tzeentch faction that isn’t Egyptian.
>>98069673I am once again asking if anyone kitbashed the invictor with a redemptor sarcophagus to make a light(er) dreadnought
>>98069701Like pic Burkha time.
>>98069681I've been in this hobby longer than you've been alive zoomeryou can keep coping about a faction you'll never collect but it won't change reality
>>98069705I like this explanation. It also has the sideffect of making me hate primaris more though, which isn't good for my health.
>>98069663you're so retarded that you MUST be u18anybody can google a faction and find their original name to larp like (you) are
>>98069721These aren’t bad though? At least by gw standards.
>>98069716Yet you are here to cry over justified complains about Thousand Sons army overall that no one but your austitic mind likes, keep the work i guess.
>>98069721Honestly wyches are already at that tier. We just have a better version in our heads.
>>98069712they are one good update away from being besr cult army despite anons crying and polluting threads.
>>98069712This is a fair argument. They really need psychic dreadnoughts.>>98069723Nice LARP you zoomer faggot who didn't know tzaangors were in the original Thousand Sons list. I'VE been in this hobby longer than YOU'VE been alive, and no one is buying your obvious projection.
>>98069742the only ones polluting the threads are the subhuman tourists playing apologist for tzaangors
>>98069735Huh. You’re not wrong?
>>98069746>no you haven't I havewow really good rebuttal you've definitely shown you aren't a low effort shitposter desperate for attention
>>98069749YOU are the tourist and always have been. No one gives a fuck what you think, zoomer.
>>98069673Is normal i hate EVERY single Primaris model and i prefer "normal" marine stuff?
>>98069763uh oh tourist melty
>>98069757Keep projecting all day while you bitch like a tranny for GW to change things to your newfag tourist liking.
>>98069763>But brooo they always looked like shit and awfulGood way to get people on your side.
>>98069777>I'll throw out more buzzwords that will surely prove I'm not a low effort shitposter!
>all this tzaangor hate I hope a bird steals your sandwich, your money after you need to wash your car from the shits they drop on it, and steals your wife. The horns tzaangor have are infinitely cooler than what thousand sons heads are, tzeench marines should have bunny ears like their concept art.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98069721the funniest part is that I know someone who has that kit and there's little cutouts on the shoulders and thighs to show some skin, so it's not even puritan, per se. It's just an awful picture that makes you wonder why they didn't take a second pass or go all the way and fully armor them
>>98069777Trips of truth
>>98069618Considering that it's bad form and unhealthy for the governor of a planet to off-load mutants and such to the Guard to get rid of them, we probably aren't gonna see many wildly varied forms in the Guard. Anything that doesn't pass the muster but is still useful gets rounded to Abhuman regiments. GW isn't even bothering to make Navigators as freaky as they show them to be in art and fluff, so I'm not gonna hold my breath when it comes to James coming up with something creative unless it's for a one-off Kill Team release or something.Your best bet is to start converting your own and using whatever rules you find most suiting. Or play 30k Militia and go wild with all the provenances and wargear.
>>98069785Tzaangors (and beastmen in general) are a disgrace and a failure that's why they aren't even in this game and got kicked out of AoS. Beastmen are shit, don't try to bring them here.
>>98069787Clowns>Drukkhari
>>98069801>that's why they aren't even in this gameExcept they literally are and GW added fellgors for vanilla chaos too.
>>98069777Based.
>>98069754Wyches are also 50% male and female despite people thinking of them as 100% female
>>98069807As a factions i thought was pretty clear and they can keep trying to slap them into Chaos proper stuff, they will never be popular or accepted, because no one likes goats, they are shit.
>>98069735Yeah, they suck and will be even worseIdeally they should be split in two separate units - male only and female only. Trying to fit both into one unit will be disappointing and won't let lean into correct theme.Females should be Sword and Sorcery inspired and vary from being completely naked to wearing bikini armor. Males should be based on popculture gladiatorsThis will obviously never happen. They will be even worse that they are now. This is why GW shouldn't even try. They should fully refresh Haemonculi and Mercenaries instead and expand on Mandrakes and Incubi. They could "update" Kabals too, but those guys still don't need it and kits will be a downgrade anyway.No point in touching Wyches in current political climate. They can't make them work so why bother?
>>98069787Im dreading the drukhari refresh because they're gonna take Vect's bitches away
>>98069814taht explains those faces >>98069735 lmao, my hopes for an attractive wyches refresh are negative.
>>98069822those models are kind of dreadful btw
>tfw bitten off more than I can chewHappens every time, too much shit to finish not enough time. Someone just needs to lock me in a room with all of my painting shit for a week
>>98069807maybe they could make a faction called chaos agents where you can play all your beastmen rejects
>>98069721Thinking about buying picrel just so I can cut the head off of Morgwaeth and use it for a kitbash
>>98069822if we're going by men/women schizo equality then current wyches will be downgraded in name and make actual blood brides with succubi into incubus counterpart and out of blue likely some retarded lore of how incubi now recruit from mandrakes who mastered their autism
What other marine units would you even add to Thousand Sons? They already got rubrics and terminators and several types of sorcerers. They don't use bikes or jump packs, there are no rubric raptors. Maybe a TS version of havocs? I guess that would fit them. And like another anon said, give them a unique dreadnought. But other than that they really don't need more marines, the range should be expanded with other mutant Tzeentch stuff like the tzaangors, mutalith beast, and so on, they need more types of those minions.
>>98069839See that's the thing about chaos, it isn't the imperium so it doesn't need that. "Chaos agents" codex is called "chaos space marines" and everything is supposed to be mixed in there already. And if you want to play with the mixed stuff of just one god, you have "thousand sons" "world eaters" "emperors children" and "death guard".
>>98069667What am I supposed to be hating here? It looks like a jetpack.
>>98069830>dreadfulThey better
>>98069856It's just more marinefag autism, its in every thread
>>98069856I understand you're a newfriend who started after primaris were already a thing but it looks like goofy fucking toy shit compared to the old jetpack designs.
>>98069804I wish clowns could get some sort of guarantee that we're continuing to be a faction in this game
I literally cannot even, this is kino
>>98069850>no bikes or jump pack/raptorsWhy not? There are ways to make that work & funAs you said, Dreadnoughts (rubric dread and sorcerer dread), heavy weapons, even melee (bodyguard unit with staves/spears/glaives)
>>98069868Harlies were never really supposed to be a separate codex they're just a subculture within craftworlds.
>>98069855But how will gw make money selling codexes anon
>>98069857yeah, they fucking suck.must be the reason why they stopped making that dreck
>>98069856>>98069866it doesn't look like a featureless box like the old ones so it SUCKS
>>98069870Jurgen stealing the show from cain is very funny and deserved, it's a fun model.
>>98069721if i really wanted more wyches i'd just buy aos elf witches who are indeed all bikini warriors
>>98069876>they suckThey better
>>98069873>Why not? There are ways to make that work & funNah, it goes against their theme. Rubrics are slow, plodding, near-mindless automatons, armour suits filled with dust. They don't ride bikes or fly, it's just goofy and defeats the purpose. You want to make them something that isn't Thousand Sons.
>>98069636He’s not, GW just hires unsociable retards when make inappropriate comments out of left field at attempts to be amusing. >>98069651It’s better than all of them combined nomodels
Reckon its worth getting two halves of the ork part in the 11e box? I have two friends who both want to go halves in it (they both want the marine half)
Fun fact: Back in the olden days, wyches were called hagashin in the german codex. That's not even a German word, just some made up, vaguely japanese sounding nonsense.
>>98069897If you are fine with monopose, then I'd say yes.
>>98069893can we skip the part where you have an autistic meltdown and just go straight do jannies banning you on multiple devices?
>>98069897I would shy away from it. Would need a lot of conversion work on every thing except the boyz and gretchin and wartrakk. For example imagine two of those banner nobz looking basically the same, hideous. Same with the weirdboy, the warboss, etc.
>>98069401I've always been a believer in Emperor's Children having manboobs, juicy manboobs that look like oversized soroitas breastplate most likely recycled from actual sisters that fell victim to slaaneshi armies and other sorts of horrific deviantart-type mutations.High heel boots is too ridiculous though.
>>98069874Well, yeah, but I more mean I wish we could get confirmation they're not getting sent to legends. A range expansion and rules would be nice but I know we're not getting them since redditors hated harleys in 8th and 9th. I'm sitting on a sealed solitaire I don't want to paint rn because I'm afraid it'll get axed with the 11th codex
>>98069914Doubt they'll go that far, Harlies have been around since the beginning of Eldar
>>98069908>High heel boots is too ridiculous though.That's the least offensive part about the image. Also making a bimbo, and not giving them high heels is like making a character a tomboy girl, but not giving them a tan + abs.It is against the natural order. (I know the irony in this post)
>>98069607Amberly gave this monkey Cowgirl_position and lay exterminatus all over Cain's pelvis and all he could do is make monkey sounds.

>>98069904Go back to your discord you skank
James should add Word Bearers as a distinct army. One of their detachments should allow them to soup ecclesiarchy units including sisters of battle.
>>98069947Compare that with imperial rockets:>frag Ad6, S4, AP0, D1, Blast>krark A1, S9, AP-3, Dd6, HeavyRokkits are just infinitely better than both profiles at any target.
>>98069927>like making a character a tomboy girl, but not giving them a tan + abs.Tomboys =/= sports girls, you goof. A tomboy's key item is the bikeshorts, or spats as some dumbos call it
>>98069963
>>98069963go back to yoursoh wait you killed it lmao
>>98069970>Implying the word bearers would be anything but no girls allowedI will concede that it would be funny to do a Misters of Battle Word Bearers list consisting of penitent engines "piloted" by captured and disgraced sisters of battle, but that's about it. Sisters should not be corrupted by chaos, they should be concious about them getting used by chaos all the time, more fun that way.
>>98069520James... please don't do this to me...
>>98069997*Optionally* piloted by captured and disgraced sisters
>>98069997>penitent engines "piloted" by captured and disgraced sisters of battlesisters already do that with anchorites
>>98070013Yeah but there's a difference between stuffing a sister labelled as a repentia and stuffing an actual sister of battle cannoness that has the most flawless record prior to her imminent penitence. It would be like painting a speed freek Ork on snakebites colors.
>>98069870Looks pretty realistic for a space russian
>>980698501. we need a refresh for the terminator sorcerer2. also give us an exalted terminator sorcerer for the faction so terminator squads have more options3. give me a coven unit of 3 sorcerers on discs working together to cast powerful group spellsi want to be able to spam sorcerers 4. some of their own unique magi-tech machines, sekhetar robots were a start but they should have more unique tanks like deathguard has5. psychic dreadnought 6. new recruits, mutant sorcerers who just didn't have tzeentch's favor to become a real sorcerer 7. new mutant chaff of new marines who act as an in between unit of goors and rubrics8. a character, fuck it make it Imurah so SM2 resulted in something new for them9. a refresh for Pink Horrors. cut them into a sprue of 5 and re-box that with Blue Horrors. it sucks having to buy 2 boxes of Blue Horrors for every Pink
>>98069888You lack the imagination to make it work, that's it.
I’m on the hunt for this model set. It looks like it was taken down a long time ago and the creator is on an indefinite sabbatical. Anyone know where I can get them? Preferably in a way that I can pay the owner. I subscribed to his Patreon to give some support already

Alpha Legion feels and is treated like a gimmick and Word Beares are too high culture for plebs to begin to properly grasp
>>98070156>Word Bearers are too high culture for plebs to begin to properly graspWe need Black Jobbers "im not actually worshipping chaos" like Abaddon squatted and real chaos patriots like Erebus back
My Dupuytren’s contracture is brutal today, making it so hard to paint.

>>98070185outside of the industrial aesthetic that's a lot of legions
>>98070202Aesthetic counts for at least 90% of the appeal of any faction in 40k.

It's important to distinguish between Iron Warriors Players (Tanks and Terminators) and Iron Warriors Players (Daemon Engines and Obliterators)
>>98070236Gav Thorpe "lore" is fake news.
>>98070236The Eldar have both great lore and the best aesthetics in 40k though. >inb4 retards bringing up BL shitDidn't ask, didn't read, don't fucking care. The only lore worth caring about is in the codexes and Eldar codexes have been more than fine for decades. Their lore hasn't changed substantially since I started collecting them in 2006 while their art and model range has consistently remained faihtful to their aesthetics.
>>98070185>competent and unified legionIW are splintered>cool gimmicksiege engines aren't cool>sick grimdark industrial aestheticthey don't have that, they just have hazard stripes

I have never understood why people bring up or let alone get upset over Black Library shit, it is secondary at best to the actual hobby which is the tabletop game.

>>98070313>>Eldar lore is okay if you just ignore most of it>lmao, you ignore lore that is/was written by a moron who hates elves.Yeah, there's a good fucking reason why people ignore it. 90% shit Gav wrote for eldar sucks dick. And 100% of the shit Mike "I'm a gigantic troon supporting faggot" Brooks are unfettered shit that is only worth using as toilet paper.As a whole it has gotten to the point that GW doesn't even bother involving the eldar in any of the recent narrative.And better that it stays that way because modern eldar "lore" is so fucking bad that I don't want GW to write anything for them, because more they write, shittier they make the eldar.Like the retarded and pointless Wraithbone retcon that only serves to ruin a unique aspect of the eldar.
>>98070385>Like the retarded and pointless Wraithbone retcon that only serves to ruin a unique aspect of the eldar.People overstate this. Wraithbone is still summoned warp energy that bonesingers sing into existence and shape. It isn't manufactured or mined out. GW just in their infinite retardation, felt the need to specify what that warp energy becomes materially speaking once summoned.
>>98070302He's right on all three pointsYou will now turn schizo and call me him because IWfags are all the same pathetic creature
>>98070383It's this one.
>>98070343>As long as the Codexes remain goodThe Rot has already infected those too. GW retconned Wraithbone from being molded straight out of raw warp energy, into being something that requires the eldar to go mine planets to get metal and other stupid shit so they can make Wraithbone.Which is stupid, preciselt because it entirely misses the point about the eldar being a post-scarcity society.

>>98070416He’s 100%! Coming back and they already dropped multiple hints that he is.
>>98070507or alternatively ally space marines into a sisters army would work just as well
>>98070443A chunk of it was already repackaged terrain from Speed Freaks (which had also been repackaged in the mek workshop). It's definitely possible, based on previous editions they are likely to do some lower price point starter sets that swap out faction minis from each side for some terrain and it would be well suited for that. However with their recently announced pre-painted terrain, I suspect that might be what they include in those sets instead.
>>98070443Killzone octarius isn't on sale anymore, is it?
>>98070485If you were really interested it’s Googleable man. This place isn’t /pol/, stop treating it like it is over something goofy like 40k lore.

>>98070519you can take deathwatch in sisters I think
>>98070511Nowhere in the 10th edition codex is it stated that wraithbone is mined, you lying fucking retard. Point to the passage where such a claim is made or fuck off. It is literally said in the codex that the bonesingers still shape and grow it psychically.
>>98070534>LELdar fans will talk about how peak their lore is and they'll link you tiny 1st edition era blurbs that are less than a page long instead of all the official lorebooks.I expected an actual fight, not "The Lord of Change Polly the Birdbrained cast fire on the fire man and it did nothing, so fire man shot Polly back".

Valhallans... Soon...
>>98070556>Nowhere in the 10th edition codex is it stated that wraithbone is minedI never said it that wraithbone itselg is mined, you fucking retard. Learn to read you illiterate fucking dravidian.What they changed is that now eldar need to go mine retarded RAW MATERIALS, to turn it into wraithbone because somehow warp energy is no longer enough.Which is fucking stupid and entirely runs counter to their post scarcity society.
>>98070588Something more than an off-hand blurb. At that scale it's just a powerscaling entry, and it barely even works as one.Yeah, the Eldar guy specialized in fire and hunting down big monsters is immune to fire and killed a bog monster. Big whoop, Titus did that too in Space Marine 2 and he's just a Lieutenant.
>>98070604Again, point to a passage that claims that the eldar need to mine for resources to make wraithbone. Because that is not stated either in the codex. I have it right in my hands here, point to the page where the supposed claim of eldar needing to mine resources to make wraithbone is.
>>98070609It's not an offhand blurb. Did you really just google it and not even look up where the quote comes from?
>>98070617It is in the 10th edition codex you fucking dipshit. I know it because I actually read it unlike you.
>>98069603>Juren is clean...>multiple passages about his grime encrusted hands, filthy rags of clothing, food and detritus at various stages of rot stuffed in this multiple pockets, and death stench breath, etcHow do you people keep surprising me with how retarded you are?
>>98070617Post the pages, you won't.
>>98070628A single paragraph in Fracture of Biel Tan?
>>98070631Nigger, I read the codex too. There is NOWHERE any mention of mining for resources being necessary to make wraithbone.
>>98069302>Are you team Thousand Sons or team Space Wolves?Thousand Sons. I have a lovingly painted and fluffed up warband with a custom leader kitbashed. I own a lot of Space Wolves stuff, but it is mixed with Chaos, Space Marine an 30k stuff to make my autistic, customized, non-Space Wolf chapter.
>>98070647Yes? What do you think the rest of the passage and book is about? How is it an "off-hand" blurb? What other information needs to be communicated there that is not?You said something retarded and now you're getting pissy that the lore states something clearly and directly, all because you don't want to accept that you were wrong.
>>98070654NTA but since he refuses to stop being obtuse and say what it actually says, he's referring to a bit where it talks about the makeup of wraithbone, apparently now referred to as a composite of minerals infused with psychic energy, as opposed to being raw psychic energy somehow turned into a solid form.
>>98070669I am aware, I know that passage because it is in the codex and I just read it. Page 24 btw. I am not happy with that "addition" to the lore either, but acting like it is some colossal retcon is retarded when nothing in the codex actually goes out of it's way to discredit the notion of wraithbone being still summoned from the warp let alone ever alludes to the eldar having to mine for metals and ores in order to make wraithbone.It is still described as a psychically grown material that the bonesingers forge and shape. It is genuinely a choise to treat this as a some glaring retcon as opposed to the (more likely) unnecessary specificiation/elaboration on what wraithbone is materially once it has been summoned.

>>98069997>Sisters should not be corrupted by chaosSisters have never been immune to chaos or chaos corruption, that is an unironic myth made up by people who legit don't know.As a whole the Imperial Cult/religion doesn't truely protect anyone from corruption of chaos, since you can become corrupted by chaos by being too fanatical and fervent believer. And this is a real issue because the Ordo Hereticus exists, whose entire job is to keep tabs on Imperial Cult, the Ecclesiarchy and yes, even the Sisters of Battle.Sisters are ones who actually would be in very high risk of this, especially so because they are very often portrayed being almost insane when it comes to worshipping the Emperor.
>>98070787>neuron activation
>>98070710Thinking about picking up some rt eldar
Why is the new 40k box called Armageddon but it has no Steel Legion? Also is now a good time to sell my metal Steel legion squads I've been sitting on for 10 years?
>>98070710I dunno what's more grimdark - GW to start making servitor models from an obvious female base again, making it clear that nobody is safe from the most common bad end as an Imperial citizen, or them to never do it with the inherent implication that despite the claim that the Imperium doesn't waste bodies (equal opportunity misery), human females don't make for good hard labor meat puppets.
>>98070820They’re making new steel legion minis in a year or two
>>98070689It is a retcon and directly shows and states that Wraithbone is no longer made from raw warp energy and instead requires MINERAL composites as well to be formed. And where do you think minerals come from?It is nothing more than the start of the rot that will soon infest more of the eldar codex.Which isn't surprising, considering that Jes, the guy who created the eldar and only one who actually gave a fuck abour, retired last year.Meaning, it will only get worse and stupider from here, even with the codexes.
>>98070826If nothing else I’m pretty sure a female servitor could operate a sliding door just as well as a male one
>>98070833Will there still be demand for the old metal models?
>>98069302> tq
>>98070835Do you think that the blades used by Bloodthirsters contain metal forged from minerals mined in the material universe? When warp shit manifests in real space, it can and does assume material properties. Nothing in the codex states that the eldar have to mine for the materials the wraithbone consists of. You are simply choosing to interpret the lore that way when nothing in the lore actually makes such a claim.
A link that was shared a couple of threads ago has expired, is it possible to bring it back?
>>98070792>they are very often portrayed being almost insane when it comes to worshipping the Emperor.Which again, sours up the experience. If SoB's get to be fielded by word bearers, then instead of screaming chaos this and chaos that because they're corrupted, they should be screaming, wailing and pleading in agony to the emperor to forgive their sins as they get forced to follow orders from chaos. Corrupting them into chaos makes it less fun.

>>98069307They are basically mocking IG players by portraying them as monkeys
>>98070904Pewter became more expensive.
>>98070904Probably because finecast was an attempt to repurpose the pewter casting tools/dies for resin, but to do it proper you basically need a whole new production system.
>>98070904>I can’t think of any finecast modelFarsights second model and the 6th ed tau commander were made for fincast, also the masters of the _____ captains that appeared in 6th.I think there was also a Dark Eldar archon and succubus too.Most of them were fine, because their moulds were actually made for the material and GW fixed the original recipe since it was WAY too soft.
>warhammer 40k is about space faring civilizations fighting eternal war covering the entire galaxy across countless planets >all the battles are on the ground, space combat is an afterthought?
>>98070996???
>>98070982A lot of the Dark Eldar resin for 5th edition never existed in metal. They were one of the first major adopters of the technology which is why a huge portion of their range vanished when they dropped finecast resin. Their only new models since 5th edition have just been slowly replacing resin mold models with plastic, but they still have like 10 resin lots that vanished overnight several years ago.
>>98070996There's a boarding action box that's been sitting at my local GW for 2 years now, I really should pick it up and play some zone mortalis games with my mates.
>>98070996>warhammer 40k is about space faring civilizations fighting eternal war covering the entire galaxy across countless planets It's a tabletop game played with plastic toy soldiers you're supposed to paint yourself, everything else is an afterthought and doesn't matter
>>98071001If the universe was realistic, that battleship would be the 40k game. Not some stupid skirmish on an acre of land (your table).
>>98071009>If the universe was realisticYou've answered your own question, bud.
>>98071017>yeah let's send down a few squads of imperial guard to fight over some objectives in a wasteland instead of orbital bombardment or better yet just killing things before they land on the planet
>>98071004Oh cool so I wasn't misremembering, I remember they came out a little after the forecast release but couldn't remember if there was a small time the incubi, hormoculus, and beast stuff was metal.
>>98070996Star Fleet Battles and Star Wars X-Wing are that way, buddy.
>>98070996>>98071009>>98071022ship combatfags are subhuman and should be exterminated
>>98071022>Never played an edition with orbital bombardmentsTragic
>>98071029United States Navy, pal. Our planet is mostly water and so ships rule the world. The universe is mostly space, so naturally ships should rule space. Anything other than a strong navy is just poor sci fi writing. I get it, everyone wants to be like Frank Herbert and bring back medieval combat in space but c'mon. That's stupid.
>>98071040>ships can drop marines in pods with pin point accuracy anywhere they want on the planet>can't just kill the enemy from orbit
>>98071026Remember in 7th GW added an entire side game you could play if both players had flyers to see what was happening when they were off the board.Fuck I wish X-Wing was still being supported, that shit was so fun
>>98071046>Planetary shields>Enemy scrambling network>High value assets in the areaThere's many explanations, this shit isn't new, just look at how star wars explains why the empire has to land troops on both rather than bombard the base from orbit.
>>98071043Age of sails is long gone, old man. Navy is just a glorified plane transporter.>ships should rule spaceAnd they do. You don't see tanks or infantry in space combat. Meanwhile, planetary combat does not happen in space.>>98071022>killing things before they land on the planetHow does the Navy stop daemons from manifesting on a planet through a Warp portal, Eldar entering through Webway portals, Necrons from just phasing there, locals just turning traitors, etc.? Tyranids, Orks and Tau might have to purely get there by conventional means, but two of them tend to come in such numbers and with little regard to losses that you're unlikely to stop them all.
>>98070895Testing the waters to see if a kyislev release wouldn't rock the boat too much
>>98071046Dropping marines on top of the enemy IS killing them from orbit.
>>98071062At least Star Wars makes sense and has space battles (in the Lucas movies anyway).
>>98071047X-Wing is my favorite TTG. I'm sad that my local community stopped playing it, it's just me and one other friend keeping it alive here. On the bright side, we're gaining traction with starting an Aturi Cluster campaign, since between us we can provide everything anyone needs.
>>98071085So is it cheaper for the imperium to make space marines or is it cheaper for them to fire battleship rounds?
>>98071043sorry subhuman, don't care for your cope
>>98071071>they can just teleport in with magicYes I'm aware that they had to add a bunch of magic bullshit to the story and pretend it's sci fi.
>>9807099640k ships are so big that you can play a normal game with industrial terrain and it could feasibly be in a ship
>>98071099>why isn't my magical space game hard scifi?James did it just to make (You) mad.
>>98070914I feel ya brother.That pic is how I feel too.>>98070934I see.>>98070982One reason I ask is because I am collecting scans for 3d printing and if an autist suspects the model is not genuine I can say the models got the finecast resin treatment.Especially when it comes to metal model scans that hopefully got a finecast release.
>>98071115>hard scifiI don't add genre adjectives like a zoomer, sorry
>>98071007Will this mentality harm warhammer?My only source to why it won’t is the transformers fanbase’s “to sell toys” meme.
>>98071107If I had fuck you money, I'd want to make a board that was the outside of a ship. Something like those Chaos ship weapon batteries with the sloped design packing ranks of gun batteries.
>>98071121>the term "hard scifi" was invented by zoomers in the 50sEnjoy prison, stalker child.
>>98071137nobody says hard sci fi outside of reddit. Stalker? You sound disturbed.
>>98070710Same
>>98071121>decades old term>ZOOMER ZOOMER ZOOMER ZOOMERmindbroken old man
>>98071115>>98071137>hard sci-if mentioned What kind of sci-fi would 40k be classified as?I’m not even sure if space fantasy is the right one.I do love me some hard sci-fi every now and then.Loves the Avatar machines and wanted mankind to win before I knew what 40k was.I think I was ten back in 09 when avatar came out and I saw it. Not in theatres.I think I was a born hfy guard player before the concept reached my mind.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YM76ql92wS0&ra=mHow would the TND copypasta go for every faction in 40k?Let’s start with guard players because I revealed my favorite 40k army.
>>98071157It's clearly science fantasy/pulp
>>98071121>>98071150you need to go back tourist
>>98071150You should go back there.
>>98071157Space Opera or pulp space adventure.Definitely not in the speculative fiction side of sci-fi.
>>98071168>calls me a tourist>calls it "hard" scifi
>>98070996based space combat poster. 40k fags will never recover.
this is honestly pretty refreshing. its been a rough few months getting tormented by the lolcow, but now we’re back to the good old days where functionally illiterate anons argue over semantics and dumb shit.
Maybe it's just me but I find the guardians cooler than the aspect warriors
>>98071161>>98071189I think I’ll stick with space fantasy then.>space operaYou reminded me of logh and as obnoxious of a 40k fan as I can be:Whenever I saw the way space ship combat was done in logh I wondered if he imperial navy in 40k did that.Yeah I did the annoying meme of looking at different sci-fi universe stuff and thinking “what if 40k.”In my defense I didn’t bring up 40k relating to logh until now here.
>>98071222Games workshop is a shit company. Absolute garbage. Enjoy your dying game while it lasts. It deserves to die along with all the trannies who play it now. Only a cuck would play a game published by a company that hates them. They don't even put out models that the fans like. Imagine playing a game that doesn't sell you all the things you need to play the game? Imagine playing a game that forces you to buy 3rd party shit. Wouldn't catch me playing that game.
>>98071234>Wouldn't catch me playing that game.I'm pretty sure the only games I'd ever catch you playing is vidya.
>>98071234>Imagine playing a game that forces you to buy 3rd party shit.I wish GW still sold a game like that.
>>98071234Are you by chance deliberately mimicking the usual obnoxious behaviors alternative wargame/ttrpg players have because they support something that isn’t the most popular thing of its medium?Would be a bad look for those communities if you don’t say yes.
>>98071234ok
>>98071251i dont give a shit about these generals or communities
Magnus will be redeemed and take the Emperor's place on the throne.Not to imply that Magnus needs redeeming, as he did nothing wrong to begin with.
>>98071234>gets mocked>crashes out and goes I-I didn't even want what I started my tantrum over a-anywayslmao
Imagine if emperors children got dark eldar slaanesh corrupted cultists
>>98071224
>>98071277The one being told he could be redeemed by emps was mortarion. Also Magnus' good part of his soul is not in him anymore it was put into the first grand master of the grey knights.
>>98071272You could use a hobby. Doesn’t have to be warhammer related.But in think you gave a good answer.Some warhammer players get curious about alternatives and then find out the communities of the alternatives have high concentrations of superiority conplex ridden hipsters and go back to warhammer.The hipsters of the alts aren’t solely for why Games Workshop stays on top, but they really help more than they are comfortable with knowing.
>>98071290playing games with toys and models is antiquated and a dying hobby. If I'm going to play a boardgame, I would rather play something else that is more complex. This is just a dice game. It's like when you were a kid and you made up games with your army men.
>>98071222> its been a rough few months getting tormented by the lolcow You’re literally making shit up in your head you dumb animal
>>98071234I don’t play the game either, but if you’re not painting models, and you have nothing for contempt for it, then why are you even here?
>>98071310Stop ban evading, niggerfaggot. And no, he's not making shit up. You've been plaguing /40kg/ for almost 2 years at this point and not a single post you ever made has been a positive contributrion to this general.
>>98071284Is there a worse fate than death and having one’s soul ripped apart than to be captured and forced to be a forever young and fertile boy toy breeding slave for eldar women in the warhammer 40k universe?Not just used to fill wombs that afterwards get gene editing so it is a fully eldar offspring but also be the masseuse for post workout and training eldar warrior women and then have to give them happy endings and then clean them in the bathing chambers afterwards!Is there anything more horrible?
>>98071116Pretty much all of the old guard and sister ranges never got ported to fine cast since GW just had massive amount of stock for them that was still around by ith Ed.Also hope that you've set your print layers extra thin because they're an easy thing to check to see if a model is printed.>yes I'm aware of the fw print lined models before you bring it up
>>98071087Yet all their tabletop games are also seperated by theatre with very little cross over.
>>98071284Elf tumm
>>98070173Agreed.I've always held the opinion of whatever you side. Side fully. These wishy washy factions are getting too many and redundant. They actually make the mystery of them..... boring because it never comes out and when it does come out it's gay as fuck. Wb are traveling chaos marines imo the renegade legions are just fags
>>98071224Are they really guardians when they deploy away from the craft world?
>>98071349I have an 8k resolution printer.Might use a 10k resolution soon if on sale.Anycubic what settings should I set for both?>print lined fw modelsDid this come after the upside down space wolf boltguns?Seems GW was just waiting for fw to mess up beyond resin casting and pricing because gw was already doing those to shut down forge world.
>>98071224love that art
>>98071371Why wouldn't they be
>>98071382I like this guy’s art.Not sure what exactly are all the things he is getting right that most 40k artists get wrong. Beyond the pieces being detailed in a good way and proportions are respected and the “viewing angles” are actually interesting and different from what is normally seen in 40k art.There’s got to be more.
>>98071062>star wars explains why the empire has to land troops on both rather than bombard the base from orbit.I actually find it more fantastical having enough energy to shield the entire planet, let alone enough energy to destroy said planet in a single blast.Shielded cities and anti-orbital artillery forcing besiegers to land on the far side of the planet and trekk it on foot (Vraks) make much more sense.Spaceballs was at least trying to be funny.
>>98069307
>>98071391He's tracing military pictures, I swear I've seen >>98071382 this one with the actual soldiers.Not saying that's wrong, it obviously works. But that's the trick.
>>98071394>vraks mentionedIs that campaign really one of the best or is it actually not?I know it is heavily overrated.I don’t have the pdfs.I would like them.The ones said to be from WH+ and ones with rules as I recall the WH+ copies had their rules removed.Why removed I don’t know.
>>98071394Planetary shields seem really freaking common and strong. Han said there's no way an entire fleet can destroy Alderaan and the Rebels on Hoth had a shield that could withstand all bombardment from the Star Destroyers there while remaining hidden. The EU even had the latter shield be in-universe a crappy shield they got because they couldn't get the best stuff too. It's really easy exterminatus proofing there.
>>98071387To guard a place implies to remain in the vicinity of said place. You can't guard a Walmart by storming the enemy Costco, regardless of what the "storm guardians" claim.
>>98071401>tracing military picsIs that really it?I am not sure if it counts as tracing given that they’re heavily modified.But then again I laughed and found a comic artist commonly tracing porn screenshots and google image results distasteful so I dribble I have to be against the tracing of military pics and redrawing them as 40k to be distasteful or else I’m a hypocrite.:(M-maybe the editing turns the trace into a “fork” of an image where it is basically its own thing?
>>98071311I'm here because I have an army of steel legion sitting in boxes since 2017 when I thought about getting into this and I check back here to get a feel for what is popular because I want to sell those and get rid of them and get my money back. I have never played 40k and I think it's stupid and my purchase was a mistake. I don't want to paint my army. I don't want to go to have to make friends with some normie dad basedjak at a gameshop and have to rely on strangers to play with. It's not convenient to play these games. Old school wargamers who play with Napoleonic's or civil war games are based though. They respect history and don't mess around with this childish 40k shit.
>>98071410You can have everything but you must be consistent:You can be proof against Viral Bomb Exterminatus, most plausible one, and you can have siege-proof hive shields (fed by geothermics) that force the enemy to commit an assault. That can explain why you need to play a tabletop match instead of solving it from orbit.But if you have a cyclonic torpedo or death star laser than can magically pump 99 quadrillion gigatonnes worth of TNT as long as you hit any part of a planet, then yeah you don't need anything else. Just keep shooting that magical gun, seeing you can afford it somehow. Literally Marvel tier.Also, if you have a shield capable of deflecting ship guns then it's completely detectable and 0% stealthy
>>98071380>Did this come after the upside down space wolf boltguns?Nah, people just had a sperg out when it came to the death guard praetors, but those were using the wax supported printing, which has become a normal thing for the industry to be able to get concept prints out quickly.As fo fucking up, nah, FW has been already been fully absorbed into gw and they're just the labeled the expert kits now, while their ruleswriters work closely with the specialist games division.
>>98071420>guardfag>thinks 40k is dumb and would rather play historical wargamestale as old as time
a parcel for me!what could it be?
>>98071440I can see your reflection, anon
>>98070385>And 100% of the shit Mike "I'm a gigantic troon supporting faggot" BrooksUnlike Thrope's, Brooks books are actually sells.So yeah, sorry no sorry, but people voted with their wallet for Eldar to remain Dramma Queer Losers of the setting, stop LARPing.
>>98071322I’ve posted 16k points of models and all you’ve done is bitch. Fuck off out of this place already.
>>98071420Next time when shilling your alternatives and communities of alternative wargames you actually be a good representation of those communities anon.An anon said it above about how GW stays on top because the alternative communities are elitist to an obnoxious degree so warhammer fans stay in warhammer to avoid the elitism.
>>98071408Anything Imperial Armour is very good, to be honest. People meme about Vraks, and mega super joke about Amarah. They claim that it had Kriegers charge monoliths with bayonets. But they simply rushed the monoliths (with melta bombs) under artillery cover to keep them pinned down. That's an entirely valid tactic, and they did have the numbers to do it.Vraks is very nice and satisfying.
>>98071444yeah probablythey've wrapped it in a jack daniels box! the mystery deepens....
>>98071452Shut the fuck up, I never shilled for an alternative. I think all wargaming is in decline and not a good hobby. I just said that GW sucks and you are assmad.
>>98071440I hope it is what you wanted and not damaged by bad shipping and handling.I am also a little excited to see what you ordered.
>>98071457>wrapped it in a jack daniels boxshame
>>98071418Google has become shit so, I have no hope of ever finding the picture of a military man grabbing his squad mate's shoulder like the pic here >>98071382. It's a cool pose and he turned it into 40k before AI could do that. I have no problem against it; if it works then it works.
its....my god....its....PEAK!
>>98071394>Shielded cities and anti-orbital artillerythat's the far more common version, in both star wars and 40k.It's also why exterminatus isn't always the go to, since yes they usually can crack heavy void shields, but because they too are so overpowered to get through such things you're essentially throwing a sledge hammer at something that would have been better either slowly chipped away or destroying the supports of to get the job done.
>>98069581they always look cool in art, maybe that has to do with them adding detail there, it's dumb that where spess mahreens look more archaic and iconic when having more plain armor like in firstborn vs primaris, eldar just looks lame when too plain
>>98071411Farseer says if they don't attack X place craftworld suffers so they attack the place to guard the craftworld
>>98071460>mad Nah disappointed is a better word.I’ve dealt with warmahorde players back before the fuck ups on privateer press’ part.They always shilled their game and acted douchey so 40k fags ignored them.And they never understood that a reason why 40k fans never wanted to give warmahordes a try was because they did not want to deal with obnoxious players like them.And like you.The cycle never stops and those who perpetuate the cycle never get the message and/or figure out why.You’ll prove me correct in your next post if you bother to reply to me.
>>98071480Aw shit 4th dimensional guarding
>>98071471Beautiful anon.I hope you have many fun games.And I hope you don’t fall for the edition elitist curse that pushes curious ones away.
>>98071487No you just a terminally online and waste your time arguing with people over bullshit so now you perceive every anon as the same person
>>98071469>google has become so shitI agree and understand.The google it retort doesn’t work anymore because of it now.What’s the better search engine now?I want to find sites to pirate and pirate 40k stuff where I only need an Adblock to not infect my pc.

>>98071521I hate how correct you are.Can I have the pdfs shared to me please?
>>98071513he's where ever he's neededI still think it's hilarous Sandy Mitchal (A.S) got into hot water with GW because he wrote Cain retired after m41.999

>>98071448>Brooks books are actual sells.>GW never gives actual numbers on how many copies of this slop people bought >corsairs models sold like shit despite all the shilling Brooks cocksuckers did >still got mogged by HH marine slop Kek You know it's fucking grim when the only thing Brooksfags can brag about when he writes Eldar is a gay pirate novel that no one outside of pledditors gush about.
>>98071420>going to /40kg/ to see what’s popularif you aren’t trolling, there’s like 70 people here in a thread tops. you’re better off checking out ebay or even reddit if you want to see if you want to see the best way to sell off your old models. and even then, why do you complain about how bad the game is if all you were doing is “checking what’s popular”? just lurk and head out when out when you got all the information or prod to gauge interest in steel legion minis. hell, you could probably have just been normal and said “hey, I’m going to sell off some minis, do you think anyone cares to buy them?” and been on your way if you didn’t get a satisfactory answer.
>>98071524Stop being such a karen
>>98071545fuck off
>>98071544I wish people liked eldar. People other than me, that is.
Why can't I take interest in things that can be shared and talked about with normal humans and is actually useful instead of just wanting to get lost in juvenile fantasy worlds im so done with everything
>>98070996One thing I've wondered about for a while: why don't you see any wet-navy combat? Naval invasions/operations and warships are a wholly untapped area.
>>98071552>>98071548>KarenThat’s a new one.But The more accurate label will be something that describes someone who can see future events.>for instanceI see you further making yourself look like the archetypal alternative wargame elitist those communities are embarrassed to share their collectives with.I cannot envision a future of you coming to your senses and realizing your conduct makes warhammer players stay in warhammer and not try out the alternatives.And you will prove my prediction correct.
>>98071566Cbuunigger
>>98071557I like Eldar
>>98071544>>GW never gives actual numbers on how many copies of this slop people boughtYet they cancel series if books doesn't sell.Besides, I would assume that book which sales are bad wouldn't take second place by popular vote.>>corsairs models sold like shit despite all the shilling Brooks cocksuckers didYeah no shit. None likes spending time and money on NPCs. More news at eleven.So yeah, Eldarfag should just stick with being a coombait.
>>98071557Despite me laughing at Brookscucks, I actually don't hate Eldar themselves and wish GW would stop fumbling them so much. Craftworlders are pretty cool and I wish the Ynnari storyline didn't end so poorly because Gav had a bad rep at this point.
>>98071544It's a good thing he's not ruining any factions besides Eldar
>>98071513Probably Sanctus, since he was in relatively frequent combat with the Tau.
>>98071579>Ynnari storyline didn't end so poorlyBut Ynnari storyline ended up as intended. Guilliman returned.
>>98071571Nobody under the age of 30 plays wargames dufus. It's dying. Kids laugh at you.
>>98071577Elf tumm supremacy
>>98071579I mean let's be honest. Ynnari was poorly conceived from the beginning and there was no ending they could have planned for the trilogy that wasn't going to be a boring status quo forever war like every other faction has to be locked into. Slaanesh is never actually getting killed even if Ynnead wakes up and the Ynnari will always be one Mary sue and her entourage.
>>98071583this was very good, but it was also so safe, for any other book I would be fine with them being off in their little c orner of the universe, in fact it's preferable, but when you bring back primarchs it's like, man, get to the action and affect the imperium as a whole, meet people and shake things up, what's the point otherwise?
>>98071583>nu-Lion getting one book then ended up irrelevant for years >redeemed fallen storyline has been a nothing burger This shit was so ass. Brooks is lucky Primarchs sell no matter what.
>>98071596>wargames are now bad despite praising historical wargame communities My predictions are never wrong at this rate.Care to be more evidence of the above statement?I predict more desperate insults to save face when the best choice is to just stop.There is however a future possibility that you partake in enjoying warhammer 40k like me and this is all an elaborate larp to make non-warhammer communities look stupid and cringe.So which future is it or is it both?
>>98071471c’mon, if all you’re going to post is an ebay find the least you can do is post feet alongside it.
>>98071603Nta, Ynnead can awaken (or at least stirr), and that doesn't mean Slaanesh necessarily has to die.Me, I just like the concept of Eldar Undivided. That they were to walk all paths.
>>98071620I mean, that still exists right? You can still soup any two kinds of Eldar together or use all four types in the one shitty Ynnari Detachment
>>98071615Are you AI?
>>98071577Firstly I wish I was that guardsmen if the eldar girl with cute abs is a deviant among dark eldar and wants a wholesome relationship where the fun stuff is vanilla.Lastly I think it is hard to say whether Brooks is a good sell.BL has a bit of a bad streak and I think tie in novels to franchises have this as well with the best examples being mediocre to books first written to be books.And then there is the paypiggy aspect that needs to be considered.I just don’t know how many variables need to be considered before conclusions can be made.
>>98071588>the most important Eldar storyline in 40k was just them bringing back Gorillaman for the Imperium Eldarfags truly are cursed. >>98071603I think Ynnari could've been interesting if Ynnead was revived as a way for Eldar to at least not end up in super hell forever but yeah, I doubt GW would ever commit to killing Slaneesh. Losing one of the big 4 would cripple the setting and faction sales.
>>98071627Nah just wondering how low iq levels can go to.The fireworks are keeping me up so I can’t go to sleep at the moment.So far I’m making Nostradamus’ predictions look like bad guessing.Hopefully the lad gets the message and learns to be a better representative of wargamer communities when he shills them.Like I said I saw the behavior abs personalities with warmahorde players and it just keeps going.
>>98071577>Eldar are only good for porn>calling Eldar NPCs despite being a main faction in the settingGrim
>>98071618Nice feet bro.The warhammer orks codex is cool too.But the feet though.
>>98071630I don't really trust GW's rankings on books since we genuinely have no real numbers to work with and none of it translated into sales for the models. The books exist to help sell the plastic and if they can't do that then it really isn't impressive.
I’m surprised the new Cain model (has he ever had one before?) doesn’t have Amberly Vail too as a part of the kit. I should get around to the books with how everyone talks them up.
>>98071674Artel W has a nice version of her, but in terms of black libary tie in model GW likes to just stick to characters on the cover.
>>98071670I don’t trust gw’s rankings either.I still think gw should just restructure BL to produce comics.Maybe get some East Asian mangaka and actually pay them well.Adapt the novels into manga styled comics.I think that happened with the Maximum Ride novels but the artist is Korean.I need to revisit those. They’re probably cancelled due to lack of sales but remember those books don’t have the Warhammer identity.
*taps sign*
>>98071626Yeah but Ynnari's final sword being unreachable kinda feels more dire and faction-ending for them than the Golden Throne failing within the century, for whatever reason. Like, nobody talks about that lol.
>>98071630>if the eldar girl with cute abs is a deviant among dark eldar and wants a wholesome relationship where the fun stuff is vanilla.Eldar x Monkeigh is technically zoophilia to them. Guess Commorite girls make do?
>>98071701 (here)I think GW could probably have an easy time with finding East Asian artists.There’s probably loads of Japanese hentai artists looking for a big break into the mainstream manga industry or at least looking for good pay that hentai comics might not be delivering.Pic related is a an example.I didn’t find the chainsaw weapon from one of his other works.If you know you know.
anyone know if this book is entertainingI have a long flight coming up in a few days
>>98069302Why is Dana scully’s dad in the OP?
>>98071720>eldar x humans is zoophilia This means the dark eldar will have the highest chance of being into humans given that they’re all deviants.>or Being sadists they subject their own dark eldar kind to the humiliation of having to fornicate with a mon’keigh slave if the act of doing so is a terrible subjection for dark eldar.I think this would fit in canon quite well.And I think gw should have an actual female author who pumps out romance novels to write a dark eldar book about her self insert female mc being used as a torture device in such a way. Then the typical romance novels for female readers stuff happens after that.Those romance novels sell well for women and gw is just ignoring the gold vault they have the keys for.
>>98071731If physical book try not to get upset if the asshole in front of you leans far back so you can’t read.Try to contain that air rage.Anyways keep your expectations of BL books low so you get surprised.
>>98071731if you like word bearers its a good read.
Why do nomodels think lore isn't the main reason people play warhammer?
>>98071742>Those romance novels sell well for womenThis just in, Space Wolves surpass Tyranids as the faction for women. Sisters of Battle remain the femboy faction
>>98071751>Anyways keep your expectations of BL books low so you get surprised.Yeah, that's why I used 'entertaining' instead of 'good'.>>98071764I do like Word Bearers, so I guess I'll grab it then
>>98071701>>98071722Pretty sure I saw a warhammer comic but it’s in Korean and it’s more of a gag thing for Aos. There are also already artists like idiot of the east that basically already do free advertisement for warhammer. Also this is a British company that likes to keep stuff in house so they aren’t prone to do things smartly.
>>98071768Look at the poster with some kind of tumblr anime shit profile. They are freaks and cannot be reasoned with.
>>98071768Isn't that the dude that has a tranny gf?
>>98071794>Ive had 2 tranny girlfriendslol, fag

>>98071768black library lore is mostly irrelevantsecondaries hate this opinion because 90% of "deep lore" they know is from BL novelspush them about any obscure lore that,'d be found in codexes etc and it'll expose them as secondaries and touriststhey shill BL because it's all they know, and it's all they know because the lore from said novels is easily accessible on youtubemajority of people who hype this model have never touched a cain book
>>98071831can you post your cain books and your models?
>>98071768>iToddler filenameBlock cellphone carriers
>anon admits to dating trannies>couldn't take the embarrassment so he deleted his postHAHAHAHAHAH
>>98071769>space wolvesGW should have female novelists put out a romance novel between a female Mc and a dark eldar man.And the dark eldar refresh includes muscular male dark eldar models coinciding with its release.Then dark eldar become the number one selling models among women and Slavs because gachimuchi still lives on in Eastern Europe.
>>98071775I really don’t think those artists count because they aren’t official. Just fanart makers.Though I do prefer their stuff over the usual social media “art” put out.Even the worst East Asian fanart is often leagues better than the slop put out by users of countries everywhere else.I don’t understand why and I think it is beyond a matter of taste.
>>98071847How likely was he perryfag who came in here and couldn’t take the bants?Could probably not be him but the mention of historicals can be a giveaway.
>>98071847Mods took it down shithead. I don't give af if you think banging troons is gross or not.
>>98071837NTA but this was my first Ciaphas Cain book since when i was younger and only collecting tau and i was desperate for a tau novel.I got duped since they were barely around, but at least i got a cool rail rifle scene and fun ciaphas times.I really wish BL had more authors like Sandy because his stories are enjoyable and know what they are, but instead we have Dan Abnett and people trying to emulate him who are desperate to be more than just a fun offshoot of tabletop games fluff.
>>98071894Nta but stopYou’ve already messed up and your blunder is just gonna bigger the more you flail about.
>>98071898My problem with Sandy is that he just writes the same book over and over againMaybe it's my fault for binge reading the Cain books, but you really start to notice it after the 3rd one in a row
>>98071910They do get samey. But I think that's partially due to them being in-universe memoires from someone who never expected his lover to edit and publish them. Cain himself didn't make them adventure novels.
>>98071894>Mods took it downThey don't just delete thingsYou got banned and now you're evading because you want to defend trannyfucking
>>98071910>>98071912I did notice that after picking up the omnibus, but they're generally a fun read so it's easy to look past it, and in terms of BL author cliches it's definetly not the worst.
>>98071917True, I'll take a samey plot over the Abnettverse any day
>>98071915>They don't just delete thingsnta but that's just wrong
>>98071923we are on 4chan yall, you don't need to specify that you are not the anon in the reply thread
>>98071722Warhammer would make most Japanese puke, it's an ugly setting Koreans would be into it though
>>98071939nips and gooks like warhammer though
>>98071939My Twitter feed is flooded with Japanese WH painters
>Night Lords have no upgrade sprees to put on regular Chaos MarinesWhy? Fucking Red Corsairs and Iron Warriors have them.
>>98071910It's always been a problem with longer series like Ciaphas Cain, Gaunt's Ghosts or Gotrek & Felix. Reading novels on their own was fun, but reading 3-4 in a row was rough. I tended to take a break while reading an omnibus and read other stuff between novels.
>>98071898This was a good one, I quite liked it.
>>98071950What is Nemesis Claw?
>>98071950Are you blind?https://www.warhammer.com/en-AU/shop/kill-team-nemesis-claw-2024
>>98071950there is a night lord upgrade sprueyou just can't buy it on its own.
>>98071937if I didn't you would just act schizo and insist everybody replying to you was the same person
>>98071971that's part of the fun
>>98071768Funny you say that when majority of nomodels are lorefags that only watch sloptuber videos. Good lore =/= model sales. Lore is just fluff and exist to help sell the models but that doesn't mean all lorefags buy models.
>>98071960wow they turned chaos models into disney characters.
>>98071950Bro? Your Nemesis Claws?
>>98071978warhammer has been disney adjacent for like 15 years
>>98071978this means nothing.
>>9807193940k has a lot of competition in Japan. Gundam has a chokehold because of it being an iconic franchise and Japanese like supporting their own products. There is a decent sized community for 40k in Japan but it's a niche franchise there, China loves 40k though.
>>98071957oh I definely liked it, but i'd never read a ciaphas cain book before then so i was thinking Tau were going to play a much larger part in the story.it's been 13 years since i read it, all i remember is Cain figthing Tau at the start, a truce being made because nids, and then Cain adventures to give the hive mind brain damage
>>98071948How do I make sure my feeds are flooded with Japanese warhammer and good acrylic painting tutorials?And reasons to live?
>>98071993I really liked the techpriest biologis in that book, she was cool.
>>98071943>Japs like Warhammer because scalpers and Pbandai make it impossible to find what you want and nobody wants to scalp 40k because of how expensive and unpopular it is>gaijins like Gundam because it runs roughshod over 40k in terms of cost-efficiency for the modeling experience if you're not interested in the game (and why would you be when it's getting worse every edition somehow)Grass is greener on the other side, I guess.I even saw Genkan Kobo gassing up Citadel paints when people here shit on them as overpriced (and the weak yen makes them even more expensive in Japan).
>>98071939>>98071992>Koreans love 40k>China loves 40kAny particular reasons specific to these countries as to why?And how long before a Chinese webstore opens up with hard plastic recasts to buy?
>>98072001Follow Japanese painters and like post of models posted by Japanese. That tells the algorithm you want to see more of that.
>>98072012>>98072001Also not following English warhammer accounts, especially grifter culture war activists who thrive on drama.
>>98071939I've started to ony follow japanese Warhamer accounts on twitter because they actually post models and actually have fun with the hobby, while the english space of warhammer is just full or retarded secondaries arguing about what ever the new culture war problem they created.
>>98071978How so?
>>98072019you should fuck off to japan and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out
>>98072002There was also that imperial fist(?) terminator dude that was there who was the one that, with his squad, got the sample for the her.I remember Cain being pretty familiar with him, but i can't remember if he showed up in the other novels.
>>98071960>Posts Kill Team
>>98072029You can just make them up as regular legionaries with Night Lord heads/shoulders.
>>98072007I don't know much about the Korean 40k scene but China loves dark fantasy sci-fi settings. 40k is surprisingly popular in hobby spaces in China, you can even find references to it in some of their games. 40k is niche in Japan however because it's pretty expensive and there aren't enough people to play games with due to how small the playerbase is there.
>>98072029then why on main army page?
>>98071894Its objectively repulsive anon
>>98072024They look like space marines not chaos marines for one. Secondly, they have been stripped of grimdark. Hard to even see skulls on them.
>>98072041nta but i'd love to see your models
>>98072029Its both
>>98072029Nomodels behaviorWait until you find out what is sold in the Red Corsairs and Tau combat patrols
>>98072041>Secondly, they have been stripped of grimdark.what about the guy parading a space marine corpse and impersonating his voice
>>98072049>NomodelsLeeman Russ takes dog penis up the butt lol
>>98072056I didn't even notice amidst the cinderellas and snow whites in the squad
>>98072029It's in the NL Combat Patrol
>>98072057That's a widely used term so attributing it to a singular anon reveals nomodels/secondary/tourist status, nta.
>>98072025Don't threaten me with a good time.
> disney
>>98072064Anon literally only one person has used that term with any frequency Even if you aren't decalpedo, it's still not an argument. Anon was clearly talking about an UPGRADE SPRUE. A kit full of BITZ that can be applied to any of your chaos units and not a WHOLE FUCKING KILL TEAM. Fucking retard nigger.
>>98072062I think you're just a bigger disney fan than the rest of us.Can we see your grimdark models.
>>98072077>Tourist Every time
>>98072041> stripped of grim darkThe sergeant has a skin cloak, another has a skin loincloth, another a skin apron, another holds a mutilated body on his banner. Seems grimdark compared to most kits gw makes.
>>98070895Both of those are Imperial/Soviet Russia, not monke Putin Russia.Putin may be obsessed with history and believe he's the reincarnation of the Tsar, but Westerners don't tend to see it that way (assuming they make any connection at all)
>>98072041>hard to even see skulls on themTHEY ARE LITERALLY WEARING HUMAN SKIN!ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?
Anybody got that picture of an inquisitor with officer “Doakes” head photoshopped over the inquisitor’s head?
>>98072096monke putin is soviet era bro, he's one of the last relics of it, he was raised in it
>>98071398>>98069307I think the GW model captures the Cain smug look a lot better than the 3rd party one, and will stand out better from the tabletop. When you're looking at a tiny face from standing height you're not going to see a smug look or Flashman sideburns unless it's very exaggerated.We don't need to shit on everything all the time.AoS? Shit.Female custards? Shit.Genderqueer Eldar? Shit.This? Actually okay.
>>98072083I accept your concession
>>98072101Sure, right after you post a model
>>98072077Its a separate sprue though. Its just not sold separately. Also its got 16 heads so you can really stretch it to 2 ten man squads easily.Also its sold on the main csm page, just like ork kommandos are sold on the ork page.
>>98072109>ts a separate sprue though. Its just not sold separately99% of people are not willing to buy a $77 box for one sprue
>>98072103No, I don’t care if you like it, the Cain model deserves to be shat on. It’s about as entertaining as any modern commissar model, that is to say, it bears not a single merit. So anon, it’s shit. Dogshit even, because it’s unneeded.
>>98072116Are you planning on not running csm in your csm army?
>>98072107
>>98072116yeah so instead you want to pay 70 bucks for a box of legionaries and another 35 for the upgrade sprue
ya'll i just need the imperial knights codex does anyone have it?
>>98072116You can just resell the legionaries if you don't want/need them.You running loyalist Night Lords or something?
>>98072101not this one?
>>98072135>The legendary Bay Harbor Butcher
>>98072025I'll follow him because he's right about speaking english fans
>>98072135Thanks!It isn’t the photoshopped picture but I wasn’t expecting a head. I love it all the same.
>>98072007Koreans come off as cynical and jaded and they would be into something like 40k, and most of them have been in the militaryI don't know about ChinaModel kits never went out of fashion in Japan, and only got more popular with gundam, mecha in general, and even anime characters get their own models. So minis have a lot of competition, I read that when western companies tried to introduce them in the 80's but they had to appeal to garage kits and model kits. It's niche.
>>98072025It's not weebery to point out that EN Warhammer is filled with trash>leftist political ideologues>"conservative" political ideologues>professional shit stirrers that harness the first two to make money off of ragebait>lorefags who don't paint>lorefags who don't paint and don't know the lore>newfag painters that will quit in 3 weeks>"professionals" shilling their paint business

>>98072165>shit stirrers making money off twitterHow? Like YouTube view ad money but instead they are tweets kind of thing?I don’t have much dignity so I’ll probably be a big warhammer clickbait grifter if it means easy money and a house and stability.
>>98072181nah thats alpha legion
>>98072183>Like YouTube view ad money but instead they are tweets kind of thing?Yes, that's exactly itI dunno what the returns are. Probably not the best but people have allegedly made 1k or so off of 1 or 2 tweets blowing up.
>>98072187it's IWfags>b-but they don't worship chaos so I don't want to use CSM>b-but I don't want to use loyalist models either because uh...
>>98072086Yeah but you aint gonna see any of that on the table. Warhammer models are small enough they take fucking magnification just to paint.
>>98072183You can make money off tweet engagement if you have a blue check. That's why majority of ragebait and grifter accounts have them, they get rewarded for baiting retards.
New rumor from multiple sources is that point costs are now going to scale with the number of duplicate units you have in your list. So the first unit costs x, the second unit costs x + 25 the third unit costs x + 50, for example. Probably meant to discourage skew lists. No word on if battle line will be exempt from this or not,
>>98072202This will confuse so many people that hate 10th edition. I don’t care though.
>>98072190>>98072198I’m amazed and horrified. Thanks anons.
>>98072202I believe it because GW will do literally anything except the actual correct solution which is classic FOC + PPM + wargear costs.
>>98072219>>98072219>>98072219
>>98072217War gear costs are coming back for main cannons and some heavy weapon options it seems. Though they explicitly said stuff like pistols will not have costs.
>>98072181Most IWfags are from the 3.5 ed codex era. If that's a secondary for you then sure.
>>98072232>Most IWfags are from the 3.5 ed codex era.LMAO delusional
>>98071009Leaving aside that this setting is definitely NOT meant to be realistic, let's look at the players involved, and their goals.>PlanetsUsually have enough resources to be totally self-sufficient, and can breed new troops, so you can't just blockade them to death. Some planets like Terra rely on imported food of course.>Imperium, VotannWant resources, food, lebensraum. This relies on taking the planet, which relies on landing people on the ground to actually live there, which means wiping all enemies from the planet surface. You could do this with orbital bombardment but then you've got a Death World instead of an inhabitable planet.>EldarWant to get soulstones back, or reclaim Eldar worlds, or just not die.>ChaosThey're after the same things as the Imperium, but in many cases, they're also specifically after the people and their souls and emotions. Nurgle or Khorne would much more enjoy a protracted hundred years long campaign on the planet surface, than they would cutting off supply lines for a week.>OrksFighting in person is their entire raison d'etre. >NecronsOften they just woke up under the planet's surface.>TyranidsSee Imperium. Being mindless animals directed by a more intelligent hive mind, they may also lack the know-how to carry out a planetary blockade when they could just satisfy their hunger and evolve themselves in combat on each world.>TauSee Imperium. They are the most likely to blockade a world, on the flipside though they lack warp drives so should actually prefer being on the ground.It's the same reason why America can't win wars in Afghanistan or Iran or Vietnam just by carpet bombing the place from the sky; insurgencies go underground. In order to win wars, you need boots in the ground.
>>98071722>There’s probably loads of Japanese hentai artists looking for a big break into the mainstream mangaJapanEvery comic artists has made pornWestern countriesAvoid porn artist like a plagueYou know exactly why that wont happen
