I'd need another pair of hands to count how many IW armies I've seen irl. Pretty sure we've even had one in this general
I have never in my life seen a single Alpha Legion army in 40k, the few people that like them are for lore reasons only.

Also, why would they be releasing models like Kravek or bringing Perty back and hinting at IW getting their own codex if people didnt buy IW stuff you utter retard

GW has excess tactical rocks to avoid giving plastic sprues customization optional bits.

GW ignores bad stls that are just bad or excessively detailed to comical levels to create the perspective that third party stls are bad.

There exists or existed a good fan made 40k edition that does everything warhammer fantasy’s 9th age “edition” did but better and gw thoroughly stomped it.

Plot points in 40k like the clone of fulgrim and Hansou’s marine factory, Loyalist Word Bearer Anchorite etc. are kept as a kind of “in case of emergency or lack of plot ideas break glass” thing which is why they haven’t been mentioned.

/pol/fags like to come to /tg/ and other boards to larp as those they hate to make people sympathetic to them.

Locked Tomb trilogy is definitely 40k with the serial numbers filed off. God Emperor of mankind that lived on modern day earth as a human man swollen with power of a million souls. Ten thousand years after the catastrophe. A throne he's supposed to be sitting on to seal the warp but is trying to groom his child for sitting instead. Endless war with warp creatures created by humanity's own sins. Rebel heretic humans on isolated planets slowly losing against the religious tyranny of the God Emperor and his legions. 9 immortal godlike scions of the Emperor heading 9 houses each with their own quirky focus. Endless grind mill of noble houses feeding the war effort and built around human sacrifice.
It's basically the same setting just with necromancers instead of space marines.

It doesn't help that it is Mike Brooks's favorite book series and he clearly adores it.

I’ve noticed necromancers got a big explosion of popularity in the past years.
I liked them from w101 but that was a long time ago.
Any reasons why?
And how long until psykers that are basically trademark nameable necromancers become a thing in 40k if that isn’t there yet?

To add to the other examples:
I think a story or stories about a loyal space marine chapter of traitor legion geneseed.
Not hinted.
Outright stated in the book or codex.
Is in that glass box. It hasn’t been used yet.
And ADB has something to do with it because he is most likely still bruising from being booty blasted that the Blood Ravens were there first. Minus the “subtly hinted” part about them.
Also Im not sure if it is just me but when it comes to traitor legion loyal chapters the iron warriors seem to be the popular choice.
If my hh knowledge is right they had the biggest number of loyalists because of Perty’s autism moments.
But there has to be more.

Op here I found the head from a Facebook link.
Search “inquisitor Doakes” on google and it should be one of the earlier results.
Now there are James Doakes stls but most are detailed busts probably the size of those small bionicle figures. The matoran sized ones not the main bionicles before the intentionally big ones.
This may mean that resizing the heads down to 28mm scale mini size may not work or maybe printers can pull that stuff off.
I’m not sure.

I like the colour scheme but that brown dirt basing got me feeling unwise.
I need to know what specific artist acrylics can mimic those colors as it looks like the old reliable basecoat and drybrush combo.
And all that is needed is tufts and depending on tuft colours they can be healthy grasslands or wastelands.
That is a flexible shade of brown basing dirt color right there.

Oh no, zombies fit 40k fine, several factions can have them, nurgle of course, but actually starving or mad imperials that act like zombies but arent dead , dark eldar black science.
Its necromancers specifically I have doubts about. Tome reading wizards in hats and cloaks, grave robbing, raising zombies,skeletons I think needs some work to connect to 40k properly. I wish there was focus on like Lovecraftian socerers and wizards in 40k, and there's room for them but no one writing 40k has ever bothered to bridge that gap.

>>98072462
21 isn't that many honestly. If you want to speed things up and are ok with a little tedium, you can do some batch painting. Do the basecoat for your entire unit, then the highlight for your entire unit, edge highlights, etc.

You can also try speedpainting techniques, if you want. There are lots of great tutorials on youtube. One easy way to get a model like 80% done very quickly is to airbrush on your shadow, then airbrush on your mid tone downwards at a 45 degree angle, then your highlight at a steeper angle, then maybe 1 more highlight at a 90 degree angle. If you combine this with batch painting then you can knock out an army very quickly.
There are also other techniques you can use like contrast paints.

Also, you do have an airbrush, right? If you don't, get one. It's a big time saver.

>>98072469
Not necromancy, but mechs powered by the souls of the dead themselves. Not souls bound to a suit controlled by magic by an external wizard. They still have their personailities they had in life, not necromancer slaves

I'm still trying to paint my Iyanden Eldar when I'm not tired from work or doing another thing that's distracting me. It's only a few colors which us:
>Iyanden Yellow over armor
>Macragge Blue over helmet
>Black Legion over Shuriken guns and pipes
>Yriel Yellow over the Iyanden
>Retributor Armor on the gun oval thingies
>Blood Angels Red over the plumes and eyes
If I paint more, does the time to paint become less as well as brush control and thinning paints more consistently?
>>
>>98072468
The thing that helped me the most is to look at it on your wet palette. If you thin out your paint, you will notice that it springs back when you spread it out. You want the paint to be as thick as possible while still springing back.

You can also check consistency by painting on your hand. You want it to cover your skin in a slightly translucent layer, without pooling, and without covering the details

Also make sure you wick away excess moisture on a paper towel after you load your brush.

>>98072482
Forgot to mention Kantor Blue after Maccragge Blue
>>
>>98072482
Yes, as you get better you will be able to paint faster as well. But you have to try to get better. Try getting edge highlights as nice and neat as you can, for example. Or watch a tutorial and follow it.
>>
>>98072485
I've seen my palette do that in the middle before, only issue was when I put it on the model, it was a glaze instead of thinned. Though that was probably because I didn't put it on a paper towel. When trying to make my brush have a point, do I do it on the wet palette or a paper towel?
>>
>>98072474
>it's only necromancy if it involved controlling slaves
You're thinking of negromancy. Eldar putting the souls of the dead in new bodies is referred to as necromancy in the fluff itself. For example, in The Cripple And The Dragon, involving Vaul fighting the Void-Dragon.
>>
>>98072460

I need to sit down and watch that one day as I plan to get back into painting.
Brush strokes made a tutorial on making a wet palette which is good too.
I just prefer if a sponge was used or my case Swedish dish cloths.
The dish cloth should work the same as a sponge or layers of paper towel.

Containers are all over the place but I think the “holy grail” of a airtight diy wet palette would be whatever container the Vallejo wet palette tutorial used:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QMPn5po5-m0
Im still not sure if even the best AI chatbot can figure out what storage box was used in that video.
It is comically thin. Like who would need a box like that to store what?
I remember photograph containers but the ones I saw don’t look airtight though they may be a similar size.

How difficult nowadays is it to proxy primaris predecessor models and Horus heresy stuff with current 40k models?
I recommend not using the word that comes after vostroyan as it really angers some anons oddly enough.
>>
>>98072696
The torso can be elevated 1-2mm at the midscetion between legs and torso. The neck can do another 1-2mm from the chest piece with something and a filler.

That brings it to being just a bit under the eye ro eye height of an intercessor with the MKII marines. Some guys go too far with cork and shit but I'd be content just using a bit of thin card.
>>
>>98072704
I wouldn’t worry too much about height related stuff.
Just make sure you’re happy with your models and that they’re varnished and they make you feel good when you see them.

>>98072673
Sure, but why do they have to be taller? Nu-MkVI and friends are definitely shorter than Primaris, but it's not a huge difference in reality for true LOS to be relevant. Plus some people already use the SA Russ that lacks the sponsons that make the tank wider, which for them would be more relevant.

Easy enough for SM/CSM. Unless you want to run Legends for some of these:

>Tacticus is easy enough to cover, the main conniption you'll probably run into is aping Phobos or Gravis, or at least being consistent about them; could make some kind of 32 to 4mm base converters for the latter
>Legionaries can easily mix and match guns and weapons from the assorted upgrade kits
>Contemptor Dreadnoughts use a 60mm base, the same as a Helbrute or Castraferrum Dreadnought
>Deredeo and Leviathan Dreadnoughts use the same base size as the Redemptor chassis, just not the same weapons to a T
>Saturnine Terminators use a 50mm base that can be used to reliably ape Centurions or Obliterators
>Vehicles will be tricky when it comes to matching a vehicle footprint unless you make 1:1 bases or decide if a Kratos is close enough to a Repex (moar liek raped-ex amirite?)
>People often use the 30k Land Raider in 40k and Mars/Deimos pattern Rhinos and their derivatives are usable in both games anyway (just no Storm Bolters in 30k)
>Few fast attack options have been converted to plastic so far
>Mechanicum has a handful, but models like Thallax have no direct counterparts
>Solar Auxilia best represents Stormtrooper-heavy armies, most of is usable but their only land transport (Dracosan) in production has no equivalence here at all and lasrifle sections don't come with special weapons
>Rapier teams could sit on a magnetized base as a FOB
>Only the Aethon really matches the IG Sentinel

It's easy to see why. It's compartimentalizing what used to be all marines into a subcategory to be easily dismissed and forgotten.
>>
>>98072696
The problem isn't the models, it's the units. 30k tacticals to intercessors (which shoud still be called tacticals) are a direct proxy. The issue comes with the fact that devastators/hss don't exist in 40k anymore and that primaris don't use the classic ones, so if you want to turn your multimelta devastators into erradicators you run into the problem of how to differentiate between a melta rifle, a meltagun and a multimelta. The truth is that not a single of the primaris +1 guns have a reason to exist.

It's still retarded that they are trying to push a dread even bigger than the leviathan as the new standard. There should be two categories, like contemptors/leviathans in 40k, but with castraferrums and redemptors.

I found some near inquisitorial crusade stl proxies I like and since they aren’t in the guard codex anymore the next best spot is to proxy them as bullgryns.
But it ia better to fit more than two if possible on one 40mm base.
The question then is a matter of how awkward it will be to paint them on one 40mm round base.

That should be the new standard boltgun pattern but they still give it a different name, a different statline and don't give it to the basic space marine squad. There's also "heavy bolt pistols" for whatever fucking reason.

WYSIWIG fundamentally leads to more WAAC than just building whatever and proxying.

Yes and no.
Yes because GW went from a couple of consitent bolter patterns to a wide variation of bolt pistols & boltrifles with primaris. I might do a collage comparison of all the different variants of primaris bolt pistols, it's quite insane.

But it's mostly a way to make them look more like pistols. Psychologically you want them to be different in look/feel.
>>
>>98072983
On top of that the one showed before was only in the IF upgrade sprue iirc?
The heavy bolt pistol is pretty much a bolter, if not for the magazine.
>>
Heavy bolt pistol

>>98072985
>I might do a collage comparison of all the different variants of primaris bolt pistols
There's only two. The one from the intercessor kit (ugly) and the one from the infiltrator kit onwards (better, but still a pointless change from the original). Then they pulled heavy bolt pistols from out of their rectums for absolutely no reason and made two designs for them too, the original one from the reivers and the second one from assault intercessors onwards. That last one is the only one that looks like a downscaled boltgun.
>>
>>98072990
This is the original heavy bolt pistol. Again, a weapon that has no reason to exist. Yours should be just like the deathwatch boltguns, a more compact boltgun pattern to make it look less retarded when used one handed. But alas, GW is fucking stupid and would rather creat a completely separate weapon with different rules rather than fix the rules for the original gun.

Top right and left are the exact same design. Bottom right is an absolvor bolt pistol which actually looks and works like a different weapon and I don't mind its inclusion.

It's by design. The new scale of every non-primaris marine has been consistent since the Deathwatch veterans kit updated the scale. It's primaris who are even bigger because Stormcasts did the same and GW is full of retards.
>>
>>98073015
>top right & left are the same
You noticed that there was 5 designs in the image yet I only said there was 4 different designs, right?

I included all primaris bolt pistols I knew. If we include bolt pistols and heavy bolt pistols, then we should also include absolvor bolt pistols, since the point is "they added a lot of variation of bolt pistols".

I wouldn't be opposed, but as far as a 'lighter' Dreadnought goes, the Invictus existing as a 'stealth walker' probably dumpsters the idea.

nta but I doubt the mk8 DW vets are in the same scale. They are taller, but I doubt it's the same. Would love to be wrong on this, I love that design of mk8 and I'm sad it was confimed to like 4 kits, one of which a rare collectible, one a character, and another a WW exclusive.

This + they should expand weapon options for leviathans. Culln was cool for his twin assault cannons and claw built heavy bolter.

As a young lad I loved seeing the amount of options boxnaught got, and contemptor got close to that, but leviathans got stuck with mostly specific weapons which I think is a bad trend. The new saturnine is even worse as outside of plasma it's mostly new weapon types.
Flesh out these new weapons too, that'd be cool, I like particle shredders.

Leaving aside that this setting is definitely NOT meant to be realistic, leaving aside the existence of Battlefleet Gothic, and leaving aside that a big part of the appeal of this setting is its medieval and WW2 inspiration...
let's look at the players involved, and their goals.

>Planets
Usually 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, Votann
Want 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.
>Eldar
Want to get soulstones back, or reclaim Eldar worlds, or just not die.
>Chaos
They'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.
>Orks
Fighting in person is their entire raison d'etre.
>Necrons
Often they just woke up under the planet's surface.
>Tyranids
See 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.
>Tau
See 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.

Ground battles are a matter of territory, mostly, making them long and making stalemates a possibility. Space battles are very quick and binary.

It's the same deal as stacraft marines. The limbs are extended. Basically every description of marines in terminator armour says it makes them noticeably bigger.

>it makes them noticeably bigger
BECAUSE OF THE NECKLESS SILHOUETTE

>>98073175
I think they are much better take on the walking heavy weapon platform marines than both gravis and centurions and I wish they replaced both of them in 40k.
>>
>>98073198
The neckless silhouette doesn't make your eye level higher which is something that terminator armour has always done in both models, art and text.

Easy enough but i hate csm chosen and i want that unit forgotten about and replaced by an official kit.

Besides they havent made breachers for loyalists ( in 40k), so they could make it a chaos thing.

Chosen are 3wounds and fit inside a rhino with a lord. Gets stuff like bile's +2" movement so if you disembark, move+advance and assault(CP cost:1) you can go (disembark)3"+8"+D6"+charge in one turn with chosen. Or you move and advance with rhino and do that the next turn.

>>98073261
Bullshit. Nobody is accusing the smurfs or salamanders of being mentally ill. Their mentality is as capeshit as it gets. I don't want that, because I remember what space marines are supposed to be: cold unfeeling mutants who are loyal to psychopathy
>>
>>98073288
>smurfs.
Smurfs were aloof elitist assholes before Gman arrived, and followed the codex religiously. Gman returned and called them mentally ill, then they got depressed.
>Salamanders
not sure what their mental illness is desu you got me

So then pick any of the other dozens of marine chapters then? Like Minotaurs, Marines Malevolent, Iron Hands and Mortifactors are right there.
It's incredibly funny to me that people constantly whinge "marines arr rook and act the same"
>GW makes chapters who do act differently (salamanders, white scars, raptors)
"No, not like that." say the people
>>
>>98073223
Because it's a Scotsman joke and once upon a time marines in 40k had a bit more humour to them. I would like to see a bit of that come back.
>>98073225
GW are britbongs so it makes perfect sense they'd shoehorn the Scots in somewhere, they just never finished the job.

i load up my wet palette with
>pure black
>pure white
>skin tone
i then mix a little skin tone into my black and white so they're tinted with the skin tone. i then take the black and paint it over the eye sockets, cleaning up overspill with the skin tone. using my smallest brush with the finest tip i take the white and do two dots on the left and right side of each eye while still staying within the black area. this takes practice and brush control
i then wash the eye sockets with a thin red wash

tinting the black and white is important because it helps the eyes look more natural and not look like they're bulging out of the head
these are the brushes i use for this

yes, especially starting out. but when you become frustrated by how shit they are, get some better ones in the 10 dollar range. and when those frustrate you because of how shit they are get some actual good ones (because after painting a few dozens of minis you will acquire some skill to be actually able to use better brushes).

Also practice good brush maintenance on the cheap ones so you have the skills when you get the better ones.

>Initial conflict of 11th is, naturally, Space Marines and Imperial Guard vs Orks on Armageddon. Armageddon is being designated as a 'New Cadia' with Orks instead of Chaos. Other Imperial forces are there, just not very notablr. Early edition narrative ends with the Orks pushing the Imperium off the planet, will be revisited late in the edition with the Steel Legion wave as they retake Armageddon.
>Second major narrative is the Iron Conquest: Perturabo and the Iron Warriors take several worlds from other Chaos Legions and Warbands to set up a staging area for his march against Terra. Marines, AdMech, and Eldar try to stop him. Eldar are almost immediately taken out of the fight while AdMech barely hold on long enough for the Imperial Fists and White Scars to arrive and bring a stalemate. The Fists' presence in particular makes Perturabo paranoid of Dorn being alive and present to coordinate the defense, throwing his tactics off balance and leading to his plans bejng thwarted by White Scars tactics
>Sisters of Battle and Salamanders will launch a campaign to retake Oghram from the Tyranids, GSC are also involved.
>Ultramarines and Dark Angels meet in Ultramar, all four dedicated Daemon Primarchs arrive to siege the 500 Worlds for Warzone: Ultramar as the end of edition narrative. Russ will return and lead the Space Wolves to aid his brothers.
