>>98170119I like orks :D
>>98170119Just hoping my armies don't get squatted.
>>98170119>TQI'll pick up some orks, once their price drops a bit lower on ebay
>>98170123@grok is this true?
>>98170140yes.
>>98170140>@Gork is this true?FTFY
>>98170119MY NTR Wife...
>>98170119>Do you have any new project in mind for the 11th edition?I just hope that 11th is nothing like 10th, and I can play with full bike armies again. That GW finaly gets rid of the "all comers/mixed force" army list enforcment and we can get cool stuff with full terminator, full bike, full tank etc armies.
>>98170119Best girl
I was lucky to snatch Shadowspear Vanguard Marines on sprues for cheap on the secondary market. Should I sprinkle them with Assault Intercessors and start an Ultima Founding army for the new edition or go more elite with shooty Intercessors, Dreadnought and Vets?
>>98170157fuck off old fags I like Phobos armour
>>98170119>Do you have any new project in mind for the 11th edition?of those I have plentythat's the easy part, having an ideamaking it real is far harder
>>98170160>I like Phobos armoursame
BIGBOUNCYBANSHEEBUTTS
>>98170119>>98170153You don't get a choice
>>98170160Phobos units would've been cooler if they were pic related.
12€ for 10 boyz is a good price i think. I'll get 3 squads.
>>98170214that's a primaris tacticus intercessor, anon
>>98170160newfag here, but I’m sorry dude, the midriff looks kind of cool, and the helmet could be swapped with a MK6 to look way better, but there’s just no saving the power armor skinny jeans.
>>98170123Good for you then. Armageddoncucks are selling them for pennies on the dollar.
>>98170230Aka a better looking phobos unit.
Can someone explain to me how this is the 'shooting' edition? The 15" bullshit and cover being -1 to hit surely means it's not?
>>98170247>first 40k starter set in literally forever to flopWhat did GW fans mean by this?
>>98170247>18 britbucks for 10 monopose boys from scalpers is being considered a great deal now>5 years ago you could get 11 multipart boys, 5 multipart Nobz, a Painboy and a Deffdread for 50 eurobucks straight from a shelf in any LGSNo, the made-up inflation does not explain the price hike - none of the numbers people are being gaslighted with are making any sense.
>>98170265Because you can park your Rogal Dorn or Stormsurge so it literally touches 0.1" of the terrain with its foot and it gets full visibility through the entire terrain piece.
>>98170248I know it's confusing at first but phobos and tacticus armour are for different units. You'll pick it up pretty quick, it's not actually that complicated.
>>98170272The price has gone up because they can charge the price without losing customers and a business exists to make money.
>>98170270It hasn't flopped. GW overproduced again and the box will certainly be selling. It will just take much longer to sell than usual. Things like Indomitus being virtually unavailable was that GW did not anticipate the demand.
>>98170280Pretending to be retarded doesn't change the fact phobos is a disgusting abomination.
I bought too much stuff in march-may. I can afford the armageddon box, and I have personal reasons I could buy the 250 bucks (prefer another 10% off) but I have so much stuff now on my pile that it would be piling more onto the pile and makes me feel a little overburdened. Still want a stompa though.
>>98170281Capitalism was a mistake.
>>98170272GW hikes prices up based on inflation. They are constantly staying ahead of the curve with their price hikes.Also yes, it's because they are greedy cunts too.
Is it really a failure for GW not to sell out of all of these boxes immediately when you know they will all get snapped up over the next couple months anyway? Every starter box remains a hot commodity for a long time. I am sure it offsets whatever storage costs they have of sitting on extra boxes.
>>98170358>I am sure it offsets whatever storage costs they have of sitting on extra boxesGW has zero storage cost whenever it sits in some 3rd party retailers warehouse or store.
what are those? Why can genestealers be build into some tentacly once? are they diffrent?
>>98170403Cause GW wants your minis to look like whatever you want. the OG genestealers had tentacle mouths so this is a nod to them, their box has a cthuluhu head for each genestealer
>>98170423>the OG genestealers had tentacle mouths so this is a nod to themOriginal genestealers had sucker faces like lambrays.They just gave them tentacles to make them look like lictors which are another type infiltrator organism.And in general the tentacle mouth is just a reference to Cthulhu. Like just look at it.
i would like to see some models
>>98170403genestealers in GSC without tentacles genestealers in Tyranids with tentacles
>>98170448Nah, I would rather not be doxxed.
>>98170448repostan my collage model
>>98170448got all the pinks and blacks done, now I just have to paint the metals and clothing, then I can clean it up the messes, and get to shading and highlighting.
>>98170448I havent done much to it for the last few days unfortunately
Anyone get the new Hastarii kit yet? Would the heads fit on Marines?
>>98170448I need a better camera setup.
>>98170526You need to keep painting because it looks like you stopped at the basecoat stage
>>98170539It's Mephiston Red with a coat of Blood Angels red over it. The camera takes away some of it but I definitely nerd to do more work to finish it.
>>98170539the other three model posts are WIP, so I don’t see why you assumed that’s meant to be complete.
>>98170448Same guy

>>98170492christ what a bad sculpt...
>>98170123nice
>>98170154Idk what edition you've been playing but 10th was the skew edition for me. It completely crippled my take all comers lists.
>>98170492is this a kitbash, neat gun karate ass orc
>>98170160Phobos armor gets a pass from me because it's the only MkX that attempted to fill an empty niche instead of replacing something better.
>>98170618Gravis only replaced devastators.
>>98170119>Hagmaxxing>Picture of a woman with brown hair and no wrinklesY'all can't even fathom the kind of hags I'm into
>>98170622But it didn't because eliminators, hellblasters, and desolators all tried to do the same. And Gravis was positioned as the Terminator replacement anyway
Why does GW no longer make any cheap options. Like there's nothing really you can get under 25 euros and that's only one character.The amount of people I know who got into the hobby by buying one of the 8 euro easy to build packs is quite large. And before that back in metal blister days you could buy a blister for cheap that had 1-3 characters. Those days are gone.
>>98170622Gravis would be cool if it was an attempt to fill the spot where centurion armor failed. "Supplementing the limited terminator suits".
>>98170638i've been saying for years that the dearth of "pocket money" models kids can afford is going to do major damage to 40k as time goes by
>>98170630
>>98170403they used to have special rules back in like 4th edition, called ymgarl stealers or some shit named after an imperial moon they were first discovered on. the new kit just included the bits for flavors sake, but i dont think they do anything special anymore
>>98170638https://www.warhammer.com/en-WW/shop/necromunda-hive-scum-2022you can find them for around 14€.
>>98170651>Little Timmy doesn't get the Space Marines for cheap anymore, just political protestersGrim. Dark, even.
>>98170645Exactly. Sure these pocket money etb packs and metal blisters never had enough to build a full squad. But it allowed a kid who had an allowance to buy a pack. Build and paint them. And when they had more money later they could buy an another pack and over time build that up to a full squad.Those days are gone which means fewer and fewer kids will take on the hobby. Sure the results of that can't be seen now since all the adults are big spenders. But 20 years from now the results of this will be noticeable.
>>98170638>This box alone used to be enough to field a 1000pts army in THE best editionIYKYK, never forget what they took away from us, oldfags unite.
>>98170645>>98170638I disagree. Compared to regular models these simplified ones just suck. And they sucked back in the day too.GW did good to get rid of them, and for kids there is a free model whenever they enter the store. Every month, they can get a unique and free model, on top of whatever free stormcast or intercessor they hand out to beginners. If our imaginary kid has some friends, thats already a couple free models every month. And if they life in an imaginary region with more than one GW store nearby, then thats even more free stuff.Why would they need overpriced (because they were, even back then) monopose models?
>>98170604I fucking hate it, its like they had three different designs for a big mek, but could only make one, so they frankensteined them all together into an overdesigned abomination. it came with an entire stompa and trukk though, so I couldn’t pass it up. >>98170612nope, working as intended, if anything, I took away the mek pole because there was too much shit on it already.
>>98170653Little Timmy spends his pocket money on Fortnight skins and maybe some booster packs for Warhammer 40k Tacticus on his phone.
>>98170638They almost had something with the Heroes gacha boxes but they refuse to sell them in the west for some reason. Might be fucking card game scalpers
children only get into 40k when their parents "encourage" them toit is a hobby you pick up in your 30s when all your HS friends have ghosted you and you have to find new ones
>>98170676In my country that's in Europe they did sell those heroes gacha boxes in 2023. I remember both the DG and BA ones being sold here. Or maybe it was the FLGS importing them here. Since that store did sell manga and shit so who knows maybe it was just that FLGS.
>>98170448
>>98170662>why should GW sell overpriced models when you can fraud them with your friends instead Ok
>>98170676Wrong. They are sold in "the west".You can find those blind boxes even in stores where no other warhammer stuff is sold>>98170654Kids start the hobby with a starter box sponsored by their parents because either dad likes warhammer, or because the kid knows it from some video games, not with a little 3 dudes box they bought thsemselves.>>98170638>below 25€https://www.warhammer.com/de-DE/shop/getting-started-with-age-of-sigmar-2024-eng15€This and the 40k equivalent is what kids are supposed to buy + whatever they get as free models in their store.
>>98170632>And Gravis was positioned as the Terminator replacementIt wasn't.>none of the same weapon options>no 2+ save>no similiar tactical uses as termiesOnly thing Terminators and Gravis have in common is being slow and fat.
>>98170681>fraudGW literally advertises to give you and every potential customer a free miniature whenever you go to their store. A kid going there, drooling over space marine boxes, will get a free intercessor model, and they will teach them how to build and paint it. If that kid comes back again, there will be another free Intercessor. If 2 kids come. 2 kids will get a free Intercessor that day. No fraud involved. Its literal pennies for GW, and way more effective than hoping a kid would buy the cheapo snapfit minis nobody else wants.
>>98170676>>98170679Idk where you guys are from, but i could literally walk to an electronics market nearby, and buy those:https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_games-workshop-25156-warhammer-heroes-dark-angels-spielset-mehrfarbig-2988741.htmlOr order them online from them too ofc.I am sure there are at least 2 or 3 other stores (including one dedicated trading card store) that stock warhammer heroes boxes.
>>98170644That's basically what Gravis is. They are in reality just a better made and less retarded looking version of the centurions.It's a bigger more up-armored space marine using big guns.But GW is also mixing devastators into gravis as well.Seeing that the recent erads are just devastators with heavy bolters. While in the Deathwatch Killteam kit we got 3 gravis dudes, 2 of which are using the frag cannon and other the heavy bolter-flamer combi weapon, which are just weapons used by DW devastator marines.
>>98170638Not that I disagree in principle, but I don't know anyone who actually got started with those cheapo kits. Buying a metal blister or two, sure. In recent times you tend to be able to get a unit of whatever the generic infantry from the starter sets are pretty cheap on ebay.
>>98170595>i have no idea why she wasn't made a genestealer or why the genestealers are just xenomorphs in thisThis was before they were revamped.
>>98170515they are very similarly sized, a touch smaller all around. only issue would be the neck is designed for their hunchback pose kit comes with twice as many heads as you need so id beg your local admechfag for bits
>>98170694I would like to see if gravis become a serious thing for meta. They already seem strong against str3 spam armies.
>>98170680>Not a Thousand Sonlol
>>98170723he's throwing his chapters colors at the idearespect
Redpill me on the dark angels. Why should I like them over the black templars?
>>98170448Repasta my wip. The purple is growing on me. I can't paint until the weekend but I think I'll keep it, with appropriate shading of course
>>98170723marines malevolent need all the equipment they can get, but won’t use heretic or xenos weaponry, so they often will raid other space marines to get it, and sometimes things escalate, and the marines malevolent don’t want to leave witnesses.it was chosen because the anon asked what chapter should be ontop the furry pile, and dubs said marines malevolent.
>>98170748Same pic zoomed in a bit
>>98170760I wish I saw more little landscape painting freehands.
>>98170748thanks doc
>>98170771Be the change you want to see, anon
>>98170760How are you getting worse?

>>98170831>>98170841>bullying sallymanShould be a bannable offence
>>98170841sorry dog, none of your opinions or insults have any weight to them when you don’t own models t. not sallyfag
>>98170886>not my thread celebrities!!!making me want to bully that fag too
alrightwho's the genius that hired writers who change perspective without so much as a shift in chapter, pre-loading or acknowledging dialogue, or seamless transition?seriously, some of these books read like some hodgeposh of schizo shit
You'd think with how often cultists have obvious mutations or tattoos that giving the order to strip would be more widespread as the first precaution to take among the imperium
>>98170722My Gravis Heavy Intercessors do a lot of hard work almost every single game these days. They outperform my regular intercessors regularly. The only thing they have a hard time with are elite melee units and some of the heavier indirect fire weapons. But so does everything else. They’re damn durable and damn shooty. I love em and an imperial fists player they FEEL like fists should feel.
>>98170678My HS friends got me into 40k before ghosting me, lol.>>98170930I feel like some of them had a better transition in a physical book and it was lost in translation to ebook.>>98170944Based.
>>98170957that's probably it
>>98170944On the Shrine World of Doccora V, the Ecclesiarchy ensures the faithful are free of Chaos taint through the most direct method possible: banning clothes.
>>98170930I love Peter Fehevari’s Fire Caste, but it was so guilty of this. I literally decided to start the book over during chapter 3 because I was so lost in what was going on. I understand why anons here described it as “dream-like”, just having the reader tossed around from perspective to perspective, present to past, actions to thoughts, real to hallucinations.
>>98170403It's a twofold reference. The origin is the original Rogue Trader artwork for a beast you could include in games as an NPC threat called a "ymgarl genestealer", a creature from a moon named Ymgarl. The model pictured first here is unofficial but accurate to the artwork, it looked like a leech with four arms and two legs. Eventually that was refined into the design we're more familiar with circa Space Hulk. In 4th edition, they decided to include a throwback, rules included, to the old leech face design by including tentacled alternate heads which were in-game a wargear option called "feeder tendrils". This was also a sort of convergent design nod to Lictors, who had been tentacle faced since their introduction. In 5th edition, they introduced in the rules a sort of "special character" version of the Genestealer unit called once again Ymgarl Genestealers, which had an ability to on-the-fly metamorphose to suit their prey, changing a few key stats from turn to turn as the player desired. This ability has shown up a few times since in other Tyranid creatures via relic wargear/upgrades, but Genestealers haven't had any meaningful rules attached to the squid heads for several editions and at this point it is just a fun visual divergence you can choose for your 'stealers (it appears in several GSC model kits as well - Metamorphs and Aberrants).I do need to update this macro with the current Genestealer design.
i don't like the most adapted genestealers still having glaring obvious xeno traitsit just seems really stupid for the species renowned for its adaption to forgo something as basic, useful, and fundamental to humans as fucking body hair
>>98170247Sweet, I knew it would be better to wait for the ebay orks than to buy the box.>>98170270I doubt it's a full on flop, but I definitely think it's underperforming compared to the last two. The Marine half just has no real headliner to it. Indomitus had the Bladeguard and Justiciar and a really great Chaplain model, Leviathan had new Terminators, this is just the blandest Marine release of all time with a land speeder that somehow looks shittier than the 3rd edition one decades older.
>>98171014You have to keep in mind that the models are made extra genestealer-y looking for presentation purposes compared to the lore, and the art is based on the models. There are hybrids that are supposed to be basically indistinguishable except for slight uncanny details you can't quite put your finger on, but everything at 28mm scale has to be super exaggerated.
>>98171001holy downgrade batman
>>98170991Yeah in Fehervari's case I think it's very intentional. With other authors it's a problem because most of them suck and cannot pull it off like he can.
>>98171025I think the Owlcat game had one of those. But he still had the crest.
>>98171044Baldy's back?
>>98170687>>none of the same weapon optionsThe original gravis unit was Aggressors which have twin powerfists with "boltstorm" weapons attached, the stock Terminator outfit is a powerfist and a stormbolter. Come on now, anon.>but it didn't have a 2+ save!It gave +1 Toughness instead to be *different*, but it was still intended to replace the same niche. No one liked it so GW walked it back, but you are dense if you think the intention wasn't there.
>>98171014Besides what >>98171025 says (same reason for the shared miner theming across the range, you want identifiable, cohesive design for a good looking tabletop presentation), there are so many planets in the Imperium where environmental factors has resulted in deviation from "basic, useful, and fundamental" in what are still recognized as kosher human. I'm not even talking full on abhuman, just "We live on a planet where having body hair would be deleterious to our survival so we just gradually lost it over generations".
>>98170270All they had to do was include a classic box-style Dreadnought and a classic-style Ork Dreadnought. "Armageddon has been fought over for so long that intrepid Techmarines and Ork Meks have reclaimed ancient warmachines almost unknown in the 42nd Millenium".
>>98171041In the new Hive novel, one of their leaders wears a mask of synth-skin to hide his actual features, while others just wear rebreathers constantly. Some nobles are only found out because they react strangely to certain types of food.
>>98171064imagine having allergies and you're not a niddling
>>98171061>so long that intrepid Techmarines and Ork Meks have reclaimed ancient warmachines almost unknown in the 42nd MilleniumMany of the Techmarines alive in the 42nd millennium were alive during the 2nd war of Armageddon, it occurred just 50 years before the end of the 41st.
>>98171057Exactly. Also the models only represent hybrids but in the lore there are brood brothers - the human relatives of the hybrids that are infected with the genestealer kiss who sire and give birth to the first generations of hybrids. They're completely human externally, body hair and all, they're just hiding their mutant three-armed monster babies in tunnels they dug in their basements or what have you. The infestation spreads slowly and one by one people in positions of authority who might threaten to uncover the cult are lured in and kissed by the Patriarch at which point they are now helping the cult conceal itself.
>>98171068>allergiesyou mean, some kind of mutations inside your body?
>>98171015The xenos side matters a lot too.>holy shit they updated Necrons!vs>uh oh they resculpted the OrksThese new ork sculpts are actually ok but it's been a gamble lately, Gutsmek and the new Big Mek weren't so good. I don't think I've ever heard a single person ask for an Ork resculpt.>>98171061They were barking up the right tree with the revamped vehicles, to be fair. And the current ork dread is still pretty fresh.The land speeder is from 3rd instead of 2nd so they mixed up their member berries a little.I think making a boxnaut so soon after squatting the OG would be an admission of defeat.
>>98171075everyone's an inquisitor
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98171074>>98171057I wish they would sell a box of GSC heads, similar to how they sell sets with just space marine heads
>>98171078I think all the new Ork models are fantastic though, with the single exception of the dakka rig. They're the only reason I would even consider buying the box.
>>98171071I know, but Armageddon has scrap dating all the way back to the Ullanor Crusade.
>>98170119>TQI was originally planning on painting all my marines as my own homebrew chapter. But I decided to scale that down to a 1000 points and everything else I have in my backlog (almost entirely due to combat patrol overflow) will be painted as mixed squads from different armageddon chapters. The main attraction will be to paint the ones from the 11th box as crimson fists. I've already set aside a squad of blood angel intercessors, outriders that'll be painted as storm lords, etc.
>>98170473Has posting models ever been self doxxing?When did this meme start getting pushed?
>>98171078>Gutsmek>Not so goodIn what world
i think genestealers are really cool and, with the tyranids constantly BTFO'd despite being le galaxy ending threat, should be revealed as their actual main force for their conquest because their seemingly invincible hives are accomplishing jackshit in comparisondespite being capable of easily tearing space marines apart, they're the ones being ripped to shredsshit's ridiculousyou'd have novels where they'd goOH NO, WE'RE SURROUNDED HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE?!?!?!?!and they just shoot throughmaybe one of them loses an eye or an armor pulls off some epic last stand blows themself the fuck upevery time
>>98171094>Has posting models ever been self doxxing?Yes.>When did this meme start getting pushed?When twitter trannies started cancel-mobbing people by finding them on facebook.
>>98171078>I don't think I've ever heard a single person ask for an Ork resculpt.People were whinging about booty twerking boyz for like 10 years before the 2021 ETBs. Not me, but I do like the new ones and I recognize the 3rd edition ones needed help if only for the fact that the molds are fucking ancient and the slipping on them at this point is horrendous. Overall though so far I'm pretty happy on the range update.>>98171084They used to.
>>98171098Just ignore the badly written lore bro, it's always been inconsistent depending on who the writer is.
>>98171106Yo is that the metroid prime parasite queen? Sick art
>>98171108at that point, why even bother taking the setting seriously in any regard whatsoever?
>>98171094only one dude is known to have been doxxed through posting models, and that was ben because he’d post the exact same image for both /tg/ and on his reddit with all his personal details on it. he was also an obnoxious retard which incentivized people to look for him.
>>98171086But why would those look like dreadnoughts that were actively in service a handful of centures ago?
>>98171112Because there are parts of the lore that are good. I said just ignore the bad parts. This should not be complicated to understand.
>>98171094>Has posting models ever been self doxxing?Yes, this is how we know Louise Sugden used to post in /wip/ and how Ben in /aosg/ got doxxed. >When did this meme start getting pushed?Long time ago. People started to be more vocal about this since it was confirmed that /tg/ has legit schizoid rogue mods when 4channel shat its pants. It doesn't help there are discord channels created solely for raiding 40k-related threads and bait people into post their minis to doxx them later.
>>98170119>TQMy current plans right now in order>Finish my current Collage entry, then take a break from the collage cause I'll have entered every month for the past 12 months>Finally commit to building/painting my Revenant Titan since I'm off work through July and most of August>Finish painting all the various Guard minis I haven't gotten to yet. >Build my Armageddon Orks and the 9th Ed combat patrol I have sitting alongside itGonna be a fun Summer.

>>98171083At this point I hope they get their refresh just so you will shut the fuck up forever with this tired ritual post.

If you were in charge of the codex release schedule for a new edition of 40k which order would you release the codexes in?You CANNOT squat any factions, if they have models they must be on the release schedule, although you can combine some factions into the same codex.
>>98171121
>>98171165Year one should be>Marines>Orks>Eldar>Guard>CSMGive all the original factions the spotlight at the start of the memberberries edition
>>98170448Another progress update on the warkopta. It's pretty much just all been detailing work at this point, once that's done I'll clean it up with epoxy again and then the first batch of riveting, then probably the landing assembly and finally the rotor blades (and more rivets).
Key notes from Operation Imperator lore:-Armageddon endures. Despite the size of the marine forces, they are a mere handful of warriors in the conflict. They are too few to stem the tide of the Orks pouring into the world, drawn in by the expanding Ork psychic gestalt. That's not their objective. Their objective was to buy time for the Imperials to reinforce Armageddon. They did so by acting as an elite strike force that engaged in hard and fast focused strikes against the Ork hordes. -Without the Space Marines' intervention, Armageddon would certainly have fallen. It might fall yet. -The Space Marines, however, fed the fires of war that Ghaz desires.-Armageddon industrial output is no longer being exported. It's being turned toward its own defence.It seems that GW is planning to turn Armageddon into a stalemate again, but with more steps.
>>98171165I don’t know about the others, but I’ll have dark eldar last because I want them to suffer longer.
>>98171165Gene stealers and nids should be folded into 1 codex
>>98171192don't you group my crazy sex cult with those jobbers
>>98171192As a GSC and Nid player for over 20 years I have no problem with this. Our very first codex in 2nd edition was exactly this.
>>98171188Shas Kais Carnac can you please learn not to write like such an autist. You're like a human version of ChatGPT summarizing the writing.
>>98171165SoB first beccause i only have SoB
A Big piracy app channel for warhammer stls I was in just imploded because the mods power tripped too hard.They can now be copyright targeted.
>>98171192Fuck off faggot.
>>98171192Wouldn't mind if there was an "Ascended Cultist" detachment in Codex: Tyranids that let you field some GSC units. Representing cultists who were accepted as "full members" of a Hive Fleet for whatever reason mobile field rations.
>>98171101>>98171114So basically what are the steps and protocol for making sure posting warhammer 40k models doesn’t lead to doxxing if one’s address and identity exposed?
>>98171260Standard opsec. If you're posting the same models, or even models against the same backdrop, elsewhere, know that some autistic detective might make the connection. If that other site is tied to your identity, all the worse.
>>98171257The nids let some come aboard to infect other worlds besides the last escape pod trick, IIRC.
>>98171260basically be unimportant and don't give a shitif you cannot into either of these you should go post on reddit or twitter
I don't care what people say, brass knuckles lightning claws are superior and I won't be told otherwise.
>>98171209Stop being an ableist. There is nothing wrong with autism.
>>981712601. don’t post your models onto accounts that have your personal information on them2. don’t post the exact same image which would make it easy to reverse image search, instead take it a different angle or location (or better yet, have models you post only on 4chan and models you post on regular social media)3. don’t be an obnoxious retard which makes people want to find your info (ben) or don’t be employed at GW which means there’s a lot of eyes on your models (louise).
>>98171270>opsecSlang internet definition please?>>98171274Alright.I’ve only ever posted my models elsewhere on discord in private friend groups.Not Public ones to my knowledge.>>98171300That’s pretty good post.>don’t be an obnoxious retardFar too late for that. I’ve done that many times with unpainted models and painted ones I plan to strip anyways.
>>98171300>3. don’t be an obnoxious retard which makes people want to find your info (ben) or don’t be employed at GW which means there’s a lot of eyes on your models (louise).context?
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/s7gr9dmd/sunday-preview-dawn-of-the-new-edition/11th Ed Rulebooks and cards going up next week if you didn't bother going for Armageddon, nothing else too exciting.
>>98171311>opsec>Slang internet definition please?It's an abbreviation for "Operational Security", which is a military/intelligence term. It boils down to not telling people where you are, where you are going, and what you are doing at a given time.
>>98171313Anon you dont want to know. Trust me. Us oldfags had to suffer through the ben/edgecoc era. Don't do this to yourself.
>>98171316I'm really not sure what the point of selling the companion book is when it doesn't have rules, and is basically a quick start guide to Combat Patrol
>nidtalkchoose your hive fleet!
Does it bother any of you guys that the new core book cover is not decorated with new artwork but rather uses artwork from 9th edition's Indomitus box? It bothers me.
>>98171300The only thing you need to do is not post same models/images here as in places that have your personal information linked to them. I post the exact same shit here and on other platforms, what is some obese 4chan troll gonna do, post my reddit account here? lmao
what are some good ork schemes that arent one of the default clans?
>>98171142Dark Eldar refresh wave 2 is coming.I can feel it.
>>98171335Isn't the rulebook already out of date?
>>98171335
>>98171316>Buy the book that will be obsolete in a week!>Buy cards that can be found three times cheaper on the secondary market!>Buy the Combat Patrol book without even being sure if Combat Patrol-exclusive profiles are still a thing!
>>98171188The outcome will be decided in a videogamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPTnnLJ_lsU
>>98171317Thanks anon! I appreciate your patience for an old tard like me.>>98171321>the Ben era makes one an oldfagI don’t like feeling old.I somehow went this long without knowing the opsec protocols of this place.
>>98171336By personal info so you mean social media accounts that have name in them or on display?If it is just gamer username then it should be alright?
>>98171321No, I very much do. I got nothing better to do considering I'm away from my models.God, I miss playing at the FLGS
Sorry for the stupid question, but I've just purchased my first airbrush. A cheap chinese one to try out the technique.It came with this extra nozzle in a little cup. The thread is perplexing me. What am I supposed to screw on top of it? There nothing I can add in my kit.
>>98171342>Buy the Combat Patrol book without even being sure if Combat Patrol-exclusive profiles are still a thing!The 11th edition box has exclusive datasheets for the units as configured in the box, so...probably? Like the Wartrakk not having [SUPPORT] so it can access its abilities. Or the Intercessor Sergeant not having any of its usual customization.
>>98171335what are you talking about?
>>98171358>flgsI actually ran into a poster of models here and recognized the models at the lgs.Immediately joined the discord server at the lgs and then dm’d him to let him know I know him while at the same time I am not gonna tell anyone about this place.He gave me this deliberate look:
>>98171370>he doesn't knowWelcome in 40k newfriend.
>>98171342>buy>booksWho even does that?
>>98171364It was never confirmed if Combat Patrol remains a separate game mode with exclusive profiles or if they switch back to the pre-10e system with Combat Patrol being simply a name for <1000pts games.
>>98171331Tiamet and Kronos for me
>>98171357Pretty much yeah, your online handle or whatever is fine as long as it can't be traced back to any account that has your name, address or anything else that can be used to identify you IRL.
>>98171379I buy books but only army codexes or campaign books, core rules always get errated to quickly to use and don't have interesting lore
>>98171379You would be surprised. Normies buy tons of them. Your average Warhammer player has no idea what Wahapedia is and mere thought of pirating the books gives them a heart attack. Pirating in general is a lost art, I don't think your average 20yo zoom-zoom can even imagine a concept of scanning physical books and sharing PDFs online.
>>98171335It bothers me quite a bit.But I think the Horus heresy boob covers look better as they’re photoshopped models and in a way are actually something new to the table instead of digital art of something.But I prefer 4th and 8th edition book covers because they are not marines fighting but instead “symbolic” covers.But gw and the fps video game market know that a dude on the cover with a weapon means more sales so symbolic covers won’t be that common.
>>98171361Aren't you supposed to screw a nozzle head over top of the needle?
>>98171374incredible
>>98171398>boob coverI thought I typed book cover.
>>98171394>>98171391I actually buy some too, but usually only after the end of an edition when they become very cheap on ebay.
>>98171389>my gaming accounts all are linked to my main email that has my real life name.Alright I better get on the American diet to fit the image of what the 4chan caricature looks like.I’m gonna fat-mog the waacfags at the lgs.Every time I squeeze through the door.Gonna make pearl the fat vampire from blade look skinny here.
>>98170160
>>98171420now give them female heads and they'd be goonable
>>98170160You’re entitled to enjoy something even if it is bad.But at least do so with something that is objectively trash.I’ll show you:I enjoy the previous cadians. Yes even before they got replaced by kneepad cadians.
>>98170630Gen Z considers a woman in her mid 30s to be a "hag", despite the fact that 35 year olds millennials often look less haggard than zoomers ten years younger than them for some reason.
>>98171316Great, now a fucking deck of cards for the corpse of Crusade.
>>98171400There no such thing included.The default nozzle was the one on the left, with the conical part going over the tip of the needle. But in the little nozzle included in the kit was in the one on the right and I have no idea what I'm supposed to screw on top of it.
>>98170160You can like your phobos but you don't get to call me a fake grog just because I don't like them.
>>98171428Millennial didn't smoke, mostly. Zooms n Alpha are already enslaved by the vape.
>>98171428How is this possible?>t. Went to buy a drink from the bar near the lgs.>they didn’t ask me for IDI’m 27 and it hurt.Sometimes girls dare each other to walk into the lgs. It is like a humiliation ritual if they lose a bet I think.
What would you guys say were the best official campaigns ever released for 40k?I'm a noob trying to understand things better and would like to read some of them
>>98171165I'd release the core factions / popular factions at the same time, then the secondary ones, then the last/special ones (custo, imperial agents, GSC, etc.)3 big batches of codices
>>98171344this and unironicallypeople here are sleeping on how important TW40K will be. It will feature live service helldivers 2 style galactic map. 40k lore and events will be shaped by it, by people taking part in campaigns and winning them in Total War. You will be expected to play it and TWfags will be expected to play tabletop.You already saw beginning of it with 500 worlds and Titus. All other campaigns, including new ones will show up from TW from now on as well.
>>98171432it'll take some force but the trumpeted out end of the nozzle on the left can be unscrewed and stuck on the new one
>>98171447It's mostly a thing propagated online by brainrotten gachafags and other coomer anime addicts who consider anything that isn't a borderline pedobait to be a "hag"No zoomer who actually goes out and talks to women is like that
>>98171403I thought he was gonna get scared.Really what is the protocol when one runs into a another poster of this place?
>>98171431It doesn't matter because you never played Crusade. You only ever liked the idea of Crusade.
>>98171460cute delusion, did laugh
>>98171462Thanks for clearing that up.
>>98171432I suspect you put the nozzle (in the cup) over the needle, then screw the cap (left) over top. The nozzle is held in place by the cap. This type of "floating nozzle" is apparently somewhat common in Chinese airbrushes.
>>98171471you will seeyou will see...
>>98171455I'm not sure what you mean by campaigns? Are you asking about campaign events or campaign books? Campaign events I would say Third War for Armageddon and the original Eye of Terror.Campaign books I would point you towards Forge World's Imperial Armour series. IA3 Taros, Siege of Vraks series, Babab War.
>>98170448I tried my hand at a dark skin tone for this guy, one more left and my kill team is one. I like how it turned out.
>>98171488Campaign books mostly I guess, but I'd like to know about events too.To be quite honest I've only recently got into wargaming after many years of mostly just being into RPGs and mini painting and I'm still kinda trying to wrap my head around how released campaigns even work here
>>98171460This is unironically true.>campaigns determining canon eventsWe’re gonna get imperium stomping everything due to their popularity.Though that planet the tyranids are through a vote may be evidence of it not being the case.
>>98171257>"Ascended Cultist"
>>98171461>>98171476Turn out the top part on the left nozzle was surprisingly tightly screwed.Thanks and sorry for being retarded.
>>98171513>darkest dungeon mentioned Wayne June (rip) would have been a good narrator for 40k stuff.He just had the voice for it.Also I now want to buy some spare heads and try to paint eyes like the artstyle of that game. It looks so simple that it loops back into looking complicated. If that makes sense.Is there a term for that?
>>98171094>”pretends” to be retarded What a subhuman tranny take
i think we're nearing the point where they're just going to stop calling them editions. any day now they're just going to rename them seasons, and sell you a yearly battle pass, printed rules will be a thing of the past and the only access to codex rules, missions, cards, core rules will be through the app subscription
>>98171358No, you don't. I will spare you just this once.
>>98171503>We’re gonna get imperium stomping everything due to their popularity.That is not what happened in the past
>>98171560I mentioned the tyranids from that community vote for a reason.I only said imperium stomps everything because it seems most people whether they’re into 40k models or “secondary” media have an imperium bias.Has the usage of “secondary” reached the normies sphere yet?Or is that what “tourist” is?I’m pretty sure that term didn’t even come from 40k but somewhere else.
>there are now three of these slop generals on this board at the same timeNigger tier
>>98171145>I need proofs.At this point I would only believe there AREN'T raiding discords if God Himself told me.
>>98171575We don't use that word here.
>>98171577There is nothing wrong with asking for evidence of something.Only people I’ve seen who mock the concept of sources have been the tourists lefty grifters.Especially after they use the “female marine example” being the little sisters of purification from GDW in the 40k space.
>>98171578Yes we do
>>98171591Fair enough. I'm certainly not against the concept of proof.I don't think the discords have ever leaked but I could be wrong. Discords always leak eventually.
>>98171575This board was literally made to contain Warhammer, what do you expect?
>>98171460Ha! Glad I'm not going to live long enough to see 40k turn into a live subscription service!Oh, wait.
>>98171489In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is joy.
>>98171523Easiest way to get eyes done, yes
>>98171335That pissed me off with the imperial agents codex, i have the original daemonhunters onr somewhere and couodnt believe they used the same one 25 years later
>>98171623American style smiling 24/7 is not a sign of medication and insanity, it is "joy".
Now that we are close to getting our 11e boxes, post your ork skin recipes. Im sifk of just using plaguebearer flesh & a green wash
>>98171603There may be some real warhammer 40k related discords that do in fact raid this place I understand you’re paranoia and it is a justified one.Do not underestimate the autism and lengths autists will go to own the other side if it is libs or chuds.>I don't think the discords have ever leaked but I could be wrong. Discords always leak eventually.Depends on the kind of leak.Some leak chats usually by disgruntled users to my knowledge.Others use programs to leak chats of private discords.Other times the website has a security problem that gets exploited.Lord knows I’m gonna be in trouble if my discord leaks.Been using the same account since I was a teen and in a depressed spot so I’ve got some awful history.Somehow I dodged groomers. No idea how.
>>98171646>muh both sidesAlso 99% of the discord leaks I've seen were either disgruntled members or deep cover agents.
>>98171629>see this post after going to wip to ask for help this defiling the sanctity of that place by using this place.Just a black wash or a few layers over recessed eye sockets?I thought a little black paint then black wash.It looks so simple it makes one think it is complicated if that makes sense.

Hello all gw insider here, right now there are discussions on which new faction to roll out att the start of 2027 and so far the main contenders are:A new type of Aeldari with monstersChaos NecronsSlaanesh TauSpace skavenWhat do you think? Sorry no chaos sisters they're worried it would be perceived as too woke in light of current political trends
>>98171667Do the slannesh tau have big booba?
>>98171654Yes both sides.You think the “own the libs” thing is unique to one side?Trannies at the lgs have admitted they just paint their 40k models in their flag colors to piss off chuds to get them banned.They even admit they don’t like the colors on their models it is just the idea and potential of a chud spergout to get them banned.>t. Overheard it when I was at lgs to buy paints.
>>98171489Cute colors
>>98171668Yes but they would be concealed by armour plates
>>98171671>Trannies at the lgs have admitted they just paint their 40k models in their flag colors to piss off chuds to get them banned.I'm aware.>It doesn't help there are discord channels created solely for raiding 40k-related threads and bait people into post their minis to doxx them later.So far we have 2 examples of "own the chuds" and 0 examples of "own the libs", so I don't see what "own the libs" has to do with it.
>>98171632>couodnt believe they used the same one 25 years laterThat's kino tho. I love how they slap old soulful art on armybox codexes since normies often use the code and sell the books for pennies. I don't even play Black Templar or Dark Angels but I still bought both books simply to display them as collectors items.
>>98171645I basecoat with Castellan green and put some Warboss Flesh over that.
>>98171667>A new type of Aeldari with monsters>not ExoditesMy fucking sides.Slaanesh Tau would sell the best though.
>>98171662meanwhile my store ordered 48 boxes, but got 12. which instantly were reserved.
>>98171667I’ll partake in your roleplay.Is it cheaper to keep WH+ on life support if it isn’t the smash hit gw wants it to be or is it actually meeting expectations?Also does Cavil actually like 40k or is it really all a PR stunt?I think it will fail if live action. Why that guy is passing up making it all 3d animated to help shatter the concept that 3d animation is just for family films is beyond me.
Insane what turning the stupid Egypt hats can make the thousand sons terminator look somewhat cool. Still, thousand sons suck dick until they get a named tzaangor.
>>98171690I don't even know how you could "own the libs". What can you do to people, who do much worse things to themslefs, that you would do them?
>>98171662Funny, it sold out in a few minutes at all the LGS in my townMust be the best selling launch box of all time
>>98171645mine is very simple, but I still love how it turns out. basecoat vallejo MC german camo bright green, shade biel-tan green, and highlight vallejo MC light green.
>>98171690What are the 40k discord raiding examples to this place like and what are the “own the chud” examples?
>>98171705>battle bibs
>>98171705Blow your brains out tourist
>>98171705>Insane what turning the stupid Egypt hats can make the thousand sons terminator look somewhat cool
>>98171575>>98171661The generals still kinda slow. We used to be faster even discounting the space wolf drama.
Speaking about the Tau.There is a scene in a story about a human brothel having lewd Tau statues.Why are humans perving on the Tau on all races?
Should I have skipped the box? Is it flopping? Am I flopping?
>>98171726Which story is that?
>>98171671>Trannies at the lgs have admitted they just paint their 40k models in their flag colors to piss off chuds to get them banned.Reminds me of a story.>at lgs>someone new comes in>their entire collection is pride-flag marines>ask if they want to play a game>take out tournament Tau list>win 80-35, game stopped because I tabled them at the end of round 4Haven't seen them since.
>>98171662Just checked my LGS too and it's also in stock lmao, can't even sell out at $219 USD while amerifats pay over $300USD for this slop.
>>98171645I'm going to be cheap and Slapchop my orks using Ghillie Dew for the skin
>>98171704I always thought it was weird how his favorite faction is Custodes.>>98171711Whenever something like Femstodes happens and you have a bunch of people clearly just shitting up the thread and not fitting in.>>98171726Is this a trick question? Have you met humans? We perv on everything.>>98171732Did you want the box? Then who cares if it's flopping? Unless you bought it out of FOMO.
>>98171732I don’t get the point in the box when the edition long starter box is just gonna make it redundant.
>>98171706I don’t really know.I do know that warhammer 40k flavored autism is something to be studied.I’ve used the phrase in an ironic way back when ironic was a meme. Always been a stupid autist and will die like one.So when discord leaks chat history the irony will be lost.>>98171709>>98171699>>98171662Lgs cultures are different in each one.There are game stores where marines aren’t the most popular.So some boxes do well and others flop it is a case by case basis.>butThe real marker of a box failing is when it gets the “selling fast” mark.
>>98171662they just made quadrillions they will be in stock for the entire year
>>98171742The launch box is a better deal, usually the starter box is essentially 2 combat patrols and the extra minis from the launch box are sold as a set.
>>98171705Homie could've bought 10 tartaros terminators for for $96 but he ruined $140 worth of models to make them look like tartaros with an underbite.
>>98171738Anyone paying over $300 USD is nutso when there's stores charging $250 for it. Wish we had it at $220 though but no way in hell am I driving in and out of Canada just to "save" $30 bucks that would get eaten up by the price of the gas used anyway.
>>98171741>clearly just shitting up the thread and not fitting inIt is /pol/ or other righties come to larp as bad lefties whenever warhammer 40k gets a boost in popularity. Usually from drama.Why they do this larp here I don’t know.You’ll be able to tell if it is genuine or a /pol/ larp if you’ve been here as long as I have. If not then I don’t know what to tell ya.
>>98171743>The real marker of a box failing is when it gets the “selling fast” mark.Did the horus heresy saturine box get that? I know that box was an absolute fucking dud.
I really dislike how pushy warhammer store employees are. I just want the mini of the month nigga
>>98171771you have to understand they are all virgins, that's what no pussy does to a motherfucker.
>>98171757my flgs only charged 250. i think with tax it was like 266 or so. cheaper than i thought it'd be, but i reckon the softcover rules only rulebook cut down the box price somewhat despite company wide price increases.
>>98171667I’ll respond to your shitpost because the idea of chaos tau has been on my mind.Tau are said to be nigh expressionless and have minute souls, so chaos corrupted ones imo should be an afterthought for chaos, and if they are corrupted, have it be much more subtle until they draw back a curtain and the evil that pervades their culture is displayed in some monolithic fashion, otherwise you would barely know if not for some minor chaos symbolism besides their usual array of gibberish moon runes.>tldr chaos cares even less about tau than they do their usual worshippers, so chaos tau are really just doing it for the love of the game, receiving no chaos blessings etcMost likely it would happen by tau integrating chaos corrupted lands unwittingly then slowly getting backsplash from there
>>98171765>trust me bro everyone loves female space marines I'm an expert bro I've been here since RT bro
>>98171757Fellow Mamdanistaner?
>>98170119>TQpainting the starter box
>>98171766Probably not.Maybe the selling fast market caught on and gw doesn’t do that so it is harder to tell if a box failed or not.Lgs pics don’t count because cultures vary between them.
>>98171771they are forced to be so by the management, official warhammer stores are run like car dealerships. they have strict quotas and are forced to use high pressure sales tactics and make sales on the spot and get you to commit. dont go to official warhammer stores, it will ruin your opinion of the hobby. find a nice FLGS, even if you have to drive a bit farther to get there, it will be worth it compared to a brick and mortar GW
>>98170492https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo5l-1r8OMo
>>98171705A sensible version of this is shaving that shit off and giving them postiches on the same spot of the collar.
>>98171757my local store is charging 275. and i got a 10% discount code.still don't think i'll buy it.
>>98171786I know you’re joking but did RT ever truly have female marines and is there confirmation that the Facebook screenshots are real?I remember the two adventurer models being pushed as female marines.
>>98171321>being here for benschizo is now considered oldfaggotryHoly hell... I remember shitposting here with you guys when the 7th edition Eldar Codex dropped. Who is even left from that era?

>>98171816I’ve been on this site since 2018 I think.I was 18-19 then just came here out of boredom.I do remember an official 4chan anniversary art piece having cultist Chan appear in the background.Was neat.Is the creator of cultist Chan still alive and happily aware of his adorable legacy?
>>98171796I usually go to my FLGS and they are great. It’s just that I want the free mini from the warhammer store.
>>98171829What’s the free mini of this month?I uhhh might buy something like marine heads.

>>98171829gotcha. yeah i mean the free mini of the month is technically """free""" but in reality its like a salesmen giving out free doughnuts to get you in the door and talk you into a sale.
>>98171667>right now there are discussions on which new faction to roll out att the start of 2027I know you're just shitposting but you are aware that it takes them like 5 years from concept design to release for a fully new faction, right?
>>98171809>>98171816I remember this site before /tg/ was a board.
>>98171834>pngtuberLink please?I hope he is happy from it.I gotta confess.I thought of doing vtubing with a good voice changer to get simp money then disappear if I have the strength.But using Linux is what kept me off it.And I don’t think my above average hardware amd build would allow for smooth gameplay live streamed anyways.And I would have spent all the earnings on 40k anyways.
>>98171818Replying to shitpost replying to a shitpost, but the point is to poison the well. Bugchasers can’t help themselves
>>98171806I don't know what you mean by facebook screenshots but yeah it's always the adventurer models, same as when they said Blanche was making a female space marine and it wasn't even a 40k model.>>98171818I was joking but that's a good question for anybody who really is passionate about it.OFC they could say they want official models for noobs to use, but all the official armies with female models just don't count for some reason.

>>98171786The only "been here since RT" anon posts I've seen in recent weeks were made by me and I'm a chudded out nazi unironically.>>98171806>but did RT ever truly have female marinesNo, not even once ever. The "female adventurer" sculpts were proto-Sisters of Battle which existed in lore/art even as far back as the Rogue Trader core rulebook. There are screenshots that go around of a magazine article not connected to GW in any way with fanfiction female marines. The lore saying marines could only be male came out in White Dwarf only 4 months after Rogue Trader first released.
>>98171816We know. I've *only* been here 7 years and there's been a big change.>>98171850This is literally me except I wouldn't pretend to be female, so DOA unless I found a really good niche.
>>98171765Aren't you the faggot who has 'been here' for 2 years and was proud of it?
>>98171876meds, unironically
>>98171870>"been here since RT" anon postsThey haven't said that because they know how ridiculous it would be to claim while being an obvious tourist, but on the other hand they have been acting like anyone who hadn't read the RT book was a tourist, so the implication was there unless every true fan is a certified /grog/ expert.
>>98171818Those are very expensive, and I would rather get them in nice plastic, instead of toxic resin.
>>98171834mrculexus didnt invent her he just drew the most of her
>>98171855I get what you mean.>>98171864>>98171870Any real evidence that they were prototype sisters of battle therefore not official marine models?Link to that white dwarf article with publication date and issue number please?An info graphic should be made every time a shitposter comes to shitpost about female marines having existed at any point in the past.
>>98171001that ymgarl is a fan model based on the art, the real original genestealer model looks like this.
Fuck it, I'm going to start buying and building an Experimental Prototype Cadre army now. Seems like the closest thing to the 8e Admech army with infantry, tanks and large mechs all being used in the same list. Best part is I can use the core units of the army for 3e-11e games.
>>98171898my bad didn't read the post before replying>Genestealers haven't had any meaningful rules attached to the squid heads for several editions and at this point it is just a fun visual divergence you can choose for your 'stealersthey meant something in KT2nd at least, they let you recover wounds when you killed an enemy.I miss that team.
>>98171885>but on the other hand they have been acting like anyone who hadn't read the RT book was a touristOh I believe you're referring to the other day when the new cinematic dropped with the "You will not be missed" line and some of the right winger noobs thought it was referencing the gay PR statement GW put out rather than realizing it's from the original intro text.Yeah the guys calling them tourists were somewhat correct, but they were also tourists themselves because they kept acting like that intro text was ONLY in Rogue Trader when it was reprinted again exactly word for word in every single edition up until 9th.
>>98171876No but I’d love to see an archive of where you got that.Must have been a funny spergout./pol/ does come here to troll in the way I explained above.It will come out when the normies catch on.>>98171886Way to put yourself as a tourist for only preferring plastic. Lots of metals had to be used tourist.I now win the internet argument and I fuck my waifu pillow in celebration.
>>98171765So leftoid fucks are responsible for zero percent of shitposting and shitflinging and instead its a coalition of /pol/ and righties coming here to both shit on female custodes/DEI/black womyn in 40k and also... defend it????This doesn't even being to pass the smell test.
>>98171893>Any real evidence that they were prototype sisters of battle therefore not official marine models?They were literally called "Female Warriors" and not "Space Marines", appearing in this advertisement called "Adventurers" in White Dwarf 99, released March of 1988.The article discussing the Space Marine gene-seed and implant process came out in the previous White Dwarf before this, issue 98. It's written personally by Rick Priestley the creator of the setting.
>>98171898>>98171908Yea, as you noticed I'm aware of it being a fan model, the point of the macro is to demonstrate changes in design over the years and I wanted it to be consistently presented through model examples. The OG metal stealers are close enough to the plastic Space Hulk models in terms of design that I just stuck with those, though as I mentioned I need to do a new version to include the 9th edition sculpts.
>>98171927Here's a snippet of the text from the article, this predates the release of the "Female Warrior" models by a month.
>>98171919Not zero percent.I’d say something like 20 percent.If you’ve been here long enough you’ll pick up on calling cards and common phrases.The biggest one is reuse of typical right wing online troll insults.But it is more than that and I don’t want to give away too much as you might update the software.Just in case.
>>98171927>>98171934Thanks!I can only phonepost so I can’t make an image graphic debunking female space marines having existed in the past.Someone else here can have that honor.
>>98171739Thats pretty much the same as plaguebearer flesh
>>98171934Rick Priestley didn't know it but he saved 40k before it even needed saving.
>>98171870I want to rape
Reminder that when you fuck a hot female inquisitor, you're really fucking a man.
>>98171945It's been done many times before, leftoids as usual ignore this and just change tactics as soon as you get them with hard proof.>well even if they didn't exist before its time for a change bigot!Or whatever. They are by nature unreasonable because their only real reason for trying to force this change is to ruin the setting. No one really wants it in good faith.
>>98171934>>98171945>>98171950We have been over this.Fabius inserted lesser components of the geneseed successfully into preteen female bodies.He managed to get geneseed to work in Xenos bodies like the T'au.There is an implication in the "Ashes of Prospero " novel that female marines might become possible thanks to the science of Cawl.
>>98171956
>>98171914What is your oldest metal model.This one is my.
>>98171956Better be
>>98171971Literally no one cares about some modern cucked Black Library fanfic. Black Library was rarely good even decades ago before they hired woke writers, let alone now.
>>98171977Is that you again ratfag?
>>98171893>Any real evidence that they were prototype sisters of battle therefore not official marine models?Marine style armour, horned skull on the shoulder, reads "Sister" on the tab instead of "Marine".
>>98171991If by ratfag, you mean that I hate all forms of rat. Then you are correct.
>tfw got the box so my friend can get back into 40kHe had his space wolves army stolen a long time ago but so much shit has changed since then. Is there a vendor somewhere that sells all of the upgrade wolves shit for cheap? I bought an upgrade sprue for the collage and it was expensive as shit
>>98171971>Tau are compatible with human geneticsI like where this is going.
>>98172003Although im not the anon you were replying to, my oldest metal model is the 3rd ed nobz, warboss, big gunz etc.
>>98172014Geneseed is not human genetics.
>>98172012>He had his space wolves army stolen awtfwho would steal a warhammer army?
>>98171705>lets have a massive plate in form of the torso which will just deflect all of the incoming bullets and projectiles into the marine's head killing them>"Genius!" yells the TSons legion's techmarines.
If I want a second Ork half, is it better to buy a second box then sell the Marine half and books, or buy the Ork half directly?
>>98172024It was one of his friends at the time, a very low act
>>98171791chaplain done, need decals and a base
>>98172029Try the latter first as there are so many people on marketplace trying to offload the ork half
>>98172032He pressed charges, right?
>>98172034Did you get it from some sort of lgs midnight release?
>>98172027It's a case of psychics deciding their knowledge of repairing means they can develop something.
>>98170119>Thread Question:>Do you have any new project in mind for the 11th edition?1. Do the collage entry for this month.2. Do some of my Pile of shame3. Finish my CSM termies4. Actually Finish my AOS Armies and Who knows Get 2000 poins for my Lizardmen
>>98172043i'm supposed to paint the box for the lgs
>>98171757My stores are selling it at 180 Euro (206 dollars) and im not sure if i want to get one. if it was 150 it would've been an easy choice.
>>98172018very nice. Those are very cool models. I always liked the style, they came out around Gorka Morka. The prospector loner orc "ex mad boy" is my favourit orc model.
I love plastic, it's a great material and it's great for multipart kits.However, the feeling of a metal mini changes everything. The weight cannot be ignored. I'm cursed with the knowledge that my plastic models will always be inferior. For they lack heft.
>>98171083Dark Eldar x Night Lords alliance soon.
>>98172019They're "keyed to male hormones and tissue types". As in work with human genetics and enhance them. So if they work on Tau, then Tau genetics are similar enough to humans for them to work just as well on them as humans. Unless you want to open a can of worms that it's any male of any species across the universe (including feMALES, apparently).
>>98172056>someone picks up one of my models during a game>"oh fuck its metal!"It still surprises people, particularly if they got into this hobby in later editions
>>98171374Now kiss him.
>>98172042Dont think so, said friend did a runner and he never saw him again
>>98171738>>98171662Classic baiting once again, here's your (You)
>>98172050Some of those 2nd ed gorka morka models sell for a fair bit, like the old wartrakk with the rockets and the pulsa rokkit model which is hard to come by now
I just want to see a comparison between the new speeder and the old one. Why buy a new one when I can just stick a missile rack on my old tornados
>>98171977I was only joking in that post with the waifu pillow part supposed to show I was joking.I think all my 40k older metals are recasts so I don’t see the point in posting.I also don’t want people to know my even more terrible taste in guard metals.
>repeat it must>repeat it shall
>>98172067I got to pick one up for the first time, with the updated plastic. It's like two different worlds.The problem with plastic is that it's so fucking light that you kinda forget it's a real object. It feels unreal, like a balloon that doesn't deform.Metal reminds you it exists, and weight is not just a sensation of downward thrust, it's VOLUME. You feel the miniature fully.Just by grabbing it, it all hit me, in a flesh I got it, dannydevitocrying.jpg
>>98172056i hate metal. lugging around an army used to feel like carrying a full toolbox. chips easily, if something drops or falls over parts bend because its so heavy, its much harder to balance heavy metal models on unstable terrain, its damn near impossible to convert.just a shit material for hobbying and gaming. im glad we left it in the past
>>98172094A terrible box. They should have replaced the dreadnought and quad battery by something more standard, like bikes and a land speeder.It's just tacticals and 3x weird/specialist things, it's a terrible box.
>>98172101>people still want lead in their minisI bet they mouth their brush while doing metallics, knowing full well there's metal chips in them. Each mouth "sharpening the brush" is equivalent to three months of cooking with a rusty pan.
>>98172101I wish all metal models got turned to finecast.So my recasts or scanned model prints can be explained as eBay purchases.Was the metal cadian command squad ever redone in finecast?Is there a website that tracks the metals that got the finecast treatment?
>>98172063Fabius would have found workarounds.
Use a 3d printed resin base. Not only do you get easy basing and magnetization, you also get add a little heft to the model right at the base which helps stabilize it.>>98172112Most hobby metallic paints use mica.
I wonder if that old daemon prince that dude in these threads painted is a metal mini, i dont know if they redid it as a finecast model
>>98172122I bought bucket loads of plastic bulk bases from aliexpress.I better hope little magnets fit under them well enough. The bases seem the same height and width of gw bases.Might give extra bases away to anybody who asks at the lgs.Gotta get that street cred in case I get jumped but the lgs version.
>>98172122It's not refined or diluted before used in paints bro.
>>98171658Black dot, then wash, yes.
>>98172092It is okey no offense take. And I must say I don't know what a waifu pillow is. I hope you get your hands on some cool models one day.
>>98172094time is a flat circle
>>98172165Thanks anon. I hope I’ll get some good metals too. Especially the metal ones that didn’t get the fine cast treatment.I have pondered making an onlyfans using an AI girl generator to get money from desperate and dignity lacking simps. Especially the kind that would still give money even knowing it is ai.All for warhammer metal models.
The Tau are legit communists, they tick all the boxes, I'm tired of people pretending otherwise.
>>98172238>communist>caste system
>>98172238Commies are GSC
>>98172238>they tick all the boxesthey have private property
>>98171928also the malstrainI think the original metal models are different enough, they're clearly meant to look more human than the space hulk ones that were made after the genestealers were connected to the nids.Also fun fact the original genestealer release had 4 models, but one of them (pictured far left) was so bad they stopped selling it.If you count the malstrain, there have been 7 releases of the genestealer kit (original metal, space hulk 1, first release as part of tyranids, space hulk 3rd, death watch overkill, malstrains and new tyranid release). 8 if you count the rerelease of the metal models with slightly different arms and no dog head genestealer.
>>98172242>>98172238spiritually indian
>>98172238Imperium is unironically more communist than tau.
>>98172242stalin communism had castes too
>>98172242welcome to real communism
>>98171977the first four in this image are my oldest original metal, they're excellent models.
>>98172242All castes are equal as per their doctrine.>>98172254Market economy does not exist in the T'au Empire
>>98172238The means of production are not in the hands of the workers, but rather the small elite upper caste (Ethereals)
>>98172108Agreed. The Dread is ok i guess. But a fucking gun turret? Even a rhino would have been better.
>>98172024Years ago a bonger friend was participating in a big apocalypse game and someone broke into the place they were playing and stole a bunch of shit
>>98172299No. it belongs to all the T'au inculding their allierd races.Picture related

>>98172328How many warhammers are in warhammer 40,000?
>>98172334ALOT OF WARHAMMERS
>>98172350It looks pretty shitty ngl.
>>98172354ok zoomzoom
>>98172350Alot isn't a real word
>>98172238Tau aren't really communist at all. They actually feed their people and don't starve to death.
>>98172365SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>98172366the imperium is far closer to practical communism than tau
>>98172374Sort of but not really. The Imperium is hard to even define at all as a political system, there's nothing in the real world very much like it and never has been because the scale of being scattered across a million worlds that are sometimes separated for centuries changes everything.
>>98172094There are several reasons why this box failed>People being divisive on the Saturnine Terminator designs>People thinking the new version of the Mk II armor looking worse than the older models>Nobody wanting the Arakhne gun platform despite it taking up a good chunk of the box>3.0's rules in generalPeople love the fuck out of the Saturnine Praetor and Dreadnought though.
>>98172402I love the design of the Saturnine I just hate that they made them too big, a Marine literally does not fit inside that armour unless he's curled up in fetal position in the center bit and the limbs are fully robotic, which is gay.
>>98172350What's this?
>>98172094how they thought they could get away with this after how good the original age of darkness box was I will never know.
>>98172434All they had to do was make the Saturnine a more reasonable size instead of XBOX HUEG and replace that gay ass turret with a cool tank, like a Predator variant.
>>98172434What made the original age of darkness box so good?Was it good value even beyond gw standards?
>>98172318Nothing in this picture disproves what I posted.
>>98172425Total War: 40k
>>98172460>40 Marines>2 Characters>10 Terminators>Basically a Land Raider>A DreadnoughtFor $300 you got basically 3/4s of a Space Marine army. It was insane value for the time.
>>98172495>>98172460Land raiders > a fuck ass turret
>>98172350>Guardsmen stay in blobs like Handgunners in Fantasynew engine, same slop
>>98171906have fun anon
>>98172460I don’t know about the value, but its just an all around good box and there’s no feeling that anything is necessarily horrible aside from maybe the dreadnought if it isn’t your taste. if you want to get started, then there’s nothing that you wouldn’t want. >40 MK6 beakies >2 captains>10 terminators>land raider>dreadnought (divisive) >$300 compared to saturnine which has both terminators and a dreadnought which are divisive, and an objectively garbage turret eating up all the potential savings>6 anatomically fucked up terminators>anatomically fucked up terminator captain>dreadnought (divisive again)>fuck ass turret>40 MK2 marines (potentially a downgrade from MK6 depending on taste)>weapon upgrades (lol) >captain>$322
>>98172350>Console>RTS
>>98172511You mean like they do in the tabletop game and even how soldiers do in real life when there's limited space to take cover?
>>98172530I thought the termies are fine. Same for the mk2 and even The dread but I remembered the updated cata terminator.Something not right with that cata termy.I can excuse the mkiii because allegedly there is lore that states that version is a production variant instead of just mk2 with extra plating.And I like the pickelhaube. I like pickelhaubes.Guess another go at tortuga bay then?Seriously I hope there is a buy group to buy all the stls off tortuga and then scan or use ai to remake them as stls because of the special military operation.I don’t even look at the act as piracy just preservation in case a rocket hits tortuga.
>>98171977it was either these guys
>>98172620or a few blisters of these. although i repainted them, i did this paint job in like '04, but the original paintjob was black an yellow like a bee. i remember not having any brushes so i painted it with toothpicks because i thought small paint tool+small model=goodit was a dark time, a time before internet tutorials where the only brands available were citadel or testors enamels. the only hobby shop in town a local model train and RC car store
Whats the chances of getting the ork half of armageddon for 60quid or less in the coming weeks? Got the preorder for £148 with the intention of selling the marines and everything else but i might just cancel it if i can forego the hassle of that.
>>98172385>The Imperium is hard to even define at all as a political system, there's nothing in the real world very much like itThere has been something like it.It's basically just feudalism but in space, with some theocracy and authoritarianism mixed in. But at its basis it is just feudalism.And feudalism is arguably realistic and be something what would come about if humanity ever expands to such degree as in 40k.
I know it is Warhammer, but has there ever been Hammer War in 40k?
>>98172686True, that's the closest. But then in some weird ways the Imperium is also very centralized in ways that feudalism never was.
>>98172686Matt Ward called fash
>>98172695Was this supposed to be coherent?
What is the point of Night Lords, do they have anything going for them besides being murderschizos and even more 1 dimensional than Drukeks?
>>98172710Unironically no. They are complete jokers in a setting with shit like Tyranids, Necrons, and Daemons.
>>98172701called it fash*I am drunk
>>98172716Matt Ward is a nobody who joined the company during middlehammer era after most of the OG writers were already gone, and left again at the end of middlehammer era so he doesn't even work there anymore. I don't know why people even reference him.
>>98172720Modern 40K owes a lot to him. He wrote A LOT of 5th edition lore. The Necron codex, the Space Marine codex, and others.He wrote the Iyanden supplement. GW still contracts him to write lore from time to time. For example, he wrote the Gathering Storm.
>>98172725>he wrote the Gathering StormNo wonder it was so shit.
>>98172725Explains why gathering storm sucked so much ass. This is not an endorsement of quality
>>98172695>writers are retarded and use words without understanding what it actually meansThe Imperium isn't fascist because it instantly fails at it.To be a fascist state you need to have>everything within the state>nothing outside of the state>nothing against the stateThe Imperium automatically fails on all 3 of these just by the Mechanicus existing. Which is basically an autonomous sister empire within it, and they also own and operate all of the forge worlds too.Then nevermind that Inquisition exists, which specifically exists OUTSIDE of the Imperial goverment and chain of command, while having no oversight and regularly going against the Imperium's interests regularly.Then there's the space marines who are all individual, independent chapters that basically act and operate on their own. Marine chapters also are known to even abandon entire warzones just because they felt like it or when someone tried to boss them around.
>>98172670ask the lads at your FLGS.
>>98171977These elves up front.
Hey anons, there's a schizo on /crpgg/ wondering why some of you like Jae, but he's too autistic to come here himself, so I'm doing it for him
>>98172733He has a master's in lit.You are some guy on the web. I trust him.
>>98172733This. And that's besides the point that Priestley was pretty much explicit about calling the Imperium feudalistic, it was consciously intended to be the medieval age IIIIN SPAAACE. Everything about it is made to echo medieval attitudes, not 20th century ones.
>>98172741Mainly yellow with blue accent looks so bad, like chickens. The warlock is ok
>>98172730>>98172732Gathering Storm is beloved, especially Trazyn's shennigans in the first book.
>>98172746>master's in litCredentialism stopped meaning anything when all the universities were overtaken by neo-marxist faggots generations ago. A degree is worth literally nothing these days. Also since when does a master's in literature mean shit to do with political science anyways? Lmao.
>>98172743Literally no one knows what the fuck you are talking about you tourist faggot.
Like salamanders but with lazers instead of flamers and meltasDoes this chapter already exist?
>>98171977my oldest metal gw model is probably a fantasy model, but my oldest 40k model is either one of the stealth suits or metal pathfinders.
>>98172748No u
>>98172725>he wrote a lot of the lore during the edition when everything went to shitis this some kind of joke?
>>98172749If you aren't Matt Ward himself, which you very well might be since Matt is a fucking loser, you're beyond gay. He will not fuck you for dick riding him bro I'm so sorry.
>>98172773I'm pretty sure it's just Carnac
>>98172766Cluck cluck
>>98172262It's not easy being the prototype.Getting a new head sculpted on for the later releases because you are so ugly, that has to sting a little.
>>98172773Look me in the eye and tell me that Trazyn isn't popular.
>>98172262There were metal genestealers that predated Space Hulk? When were they released?
>>98172753To write novels, you need to do a lot of research. ADB and Dan Abnett said that they talked to soldiers and read war accounts.
>>98172786Yeah no shit you manchild, you are stating obvious things like this would be a surprise to anyone. Matt Ward is still a retard.
>>98171977I have a bunch, I think I have a 2nd edition lt
>>98172760Nope, because lasguns are weak and for normal humans, not space marines, and every chapter has access to lascannons.
>>98172792So if he is going to write about a fictional government system, he would have done his research.
>>98172782Any fucking retard can write about Trayzn and the morons that like his zany hijinks will eat it up regardless.
>>98172798>he would have done his research.Yeah and obviously failed at it like >>98172733 already pointed out. Also the very screenshot you are posting he is referencing the "Ghazghkull's name might have been a reference to Thatcher" bullshit lie that Andy Chambers debunked.>40k is really about Imperium vs Chaos!Oh, this retard is where that autism started too. Kek. God he fucked 40k up so much.
>>98172798wow, he really is the archetypal marinefag.
>>98172805>>98172809>>98172814Why are you guys so hateful?
>>98172827Because I love 40k and writers like that guy fucked it up, not hard to understand.
>>98172827Being critical of stupid people is normal behavior on the interne. The only reason you think it isn't is because you're a Redditor that is too accustomed to your walled garden social media where any dissenting opinion is severely punished.

>>98172695It tries being so but the Imperium usually can't pull it off. It doesn't have anywhere near an iron grip on its population.
>>98172354>this sucks actually>coolest shit ever
>>98172902It's pretty cool
>>98172001I know it's a reference to the Greenpeace incident but the evidence against female space marines being a SoB shooting a Rainbow Warrior is some time traveller shit.
>>98172050This is why I say the new ork sculpts are just "fine". Orks used to be soul in ugly green form.
so i have a question about wraithknightsthey always look like they're about to fall over forward. is this actually forced by the way the joints are modeled or are people just shit at posing them?because the sprues make it look like the legs are fully posable with independent knee joints and hip joints
>>98172902>>98172927Yeah don't let anybody talk shit about bright color schemes, it's just a different vibe but Eldar do it a lot.
>>98172050I feel so bad for this boy, he looks so sad and lonely. I want to give him a hug :(
>>98172942maybe it's necessitated by the way the feet are on their tippy toes? I haven't seen the sprue, is that locked or can you plant both feet firmly?
>>98172967from what i've seen on the sprue it looks like everything is super posable independent piecesbut every picture i've seen of a wraithknight has them tipping over
>>98171550That's the end goal of gaming enshitification
>>98172919Is it really feudal if the central power can say "no you" and take over your planet for itself?
>>98172848Actually, Reddit is very toxic because of the downvote system. 4chan is way more chill in my exp.
so you know how there is that big sheet of color schemes for every space marine chapter that ever got even a single sentence in passing?is there a similar compilation of all the various minor ork klans, tau septs, eldar craftworlds, necron dynasties, etc that have ever had color schemes over the decades?
>>98172695Its vaguely fascist coded but the writers have a liberals view of fascism which boils down to "Fascism is when the government does mean things" hence why the Imperium doesn't actually resemble a fascist state when you examine it.
>>98171550>>98172982D&D is basically already there. They should have declared 6e and just didn't. I feel like the other companies are going to be watching for how it goes over.With 40k though it's only really the odd numbered editions that feel obligatory, and they need rules churn and to rid themselves of mechanics. It's a different model because it's competitive and minis are their income.>>98172992...yes? Why wouldn't it be? What do you think happens to a noble that flips off the king?>>98173005The best way I've seen it described is that it takes so much Roman influence that it resembles the fascists who also had a lot of Roman influence but it's almost 100% medieval in structure.
>>98173012>...yes? Why wouldn't it be? What do you think happens to a noble that flips off the king?There was no flipping here. The Imperium takes over the worlds whenever the needs suit it.Nobles in feudal states have protections against this type of overreach
>>98172112>mouth their brushnobody actually does this right?this is just an excuse for crackheads eating paint
>>98173030a lot of people actually do it. a lot
>>98173016just because it's a really shitty feudal system, doesn't mean it isn't a feudal system
What edition had the best vehicle rules? Obviously something prior to 8th's braindead "lol no more armour facings or fire arcs", but all of them before that did things a little differently.
>>98173012>The best way I've seen it described is that it takes so much Roman influence that it resembles the fascists who also had a lot of Roman influence but it's almost 100% medieval in structure.Its hard to decipher economically speaking since GW likes to focus on the military side of things but it seems like the worst possible version of ancien regime Europe, with most industry being ostensibly state owned but run by nobles and with the capitalist class still relatively powerless/in its infancy. Small scale business exists and some worlds even have megacorp equivalents but for the most part organised production seems to be controlled by the state. I ran with the ancien regime comparison since most early modern monarchies also had substantial state monopolies alongside political power being invested in the hands of the nobility. That and Imperial nobles have always had a vague early modern theme to them if you've seen the way they dress.
I have questions.1. can I take "Chaos Rhino" and then assign them to a squad of khorne berzerkers taken as allies without using the limited points assigned to the allies?2. Chaos rhino says I can take a havoc launcher or replace a combi bolter. Since it starts with one I assume I can have two combi bolters and a havoc launcher?Thanks for clarifications.
>>98170272The Start Collecting boxes were awesome. Comparing them to modern Combat Patrol boxes truly lets you see how fucking insane the prices have gotten over the past few years.You're paying almost double the price, but barely getting any more models (and in some cases actually getting less).>>98170336Fuck off. GW whines to customers about how hard they're getting hit by inflation while simultaneously bragging to shareholders about how they keep having record sales year after year.
>>98173074>1. can I take "Chaos Rhino" and then assign them to a squad of khorne berzerkers taken as allies without using the limited points assigned to the allies?yes, the allies berzerkers gain the heretic astartes keyword and can therefore go in the csm rhino>2. Chaos rhino says I can take a havoc launcher or replace a combi bolter. Since it starts with one I assume I can have two combi bolters and a havoc launcher?indeed, you start with one combi bolter, first wargear gives you a second combi bolter, third one gives you the havoc, it's probably written like that to match with how you build the kit
>>98173096CSM rhino gets so much more firepower for the same cost. Is this part of the primarisification ritual?
>>98170678jokes on you my friends are dead
>>98173103No it's something done on a whim so al armies are larger and people need to buy more minis
Man, some of these books have no idea what they're trying to tell. They go into detail and give you the names of irrelevant characters who die in literally the next two paragraphs after they're introduced. So much time is spent fucking about failing to establish characters before killing them off. When all is said and done, very little has actually happened by the end, and it didn't need over 200 pages to tell the story.
>>98171977I have "World Burner" from the Citadel Mercenaries/Rogue Trader line, released in '88 I believe.
>>98170930Yeah, had this with Endless Eternity.>POV starts with Star Dragons aide/navigator woman>Moves to Star Dragons captain>Shifts between Blood Swords and Star Dragons for rest of book>>98171014By the time they reach tabletop, the time for blending in with normal humans is over. They are now full mask-off Tyranid cultists and they're confident enough to attempt a revolution. (Or their cover has been blown anyway. Or they pass it off as being "regular" mutants.)

>>98171667>Space skavenKeep that shit OUT of 40k. The furfags are fucking obnoxious in Fantasy/AoS and if we get space skaven we will be seeing them here.Or, do them as Space Hrud at least. That way no furfaggotry>Slaanesh TauI'll do you one better.Make a new codex "The Lost and the Damned"It contains rules for Traitor Guard, Darkmech, Chaos Tau, Chaos Votann, Chaos Eldar, Chaos Deldar, Chaos Orks. All the theoretically corruptible races.You don't get access to the full troops from each range but you get a broad range of troop types represented from each faction to make one soup army.Release a spiky upgrade sprue box for converting specific Tau, Votann, Eldar, Orks and Deldar troops. By buying different boxes from different factions, you have a whole new army, and all it costs GW is making the codex and an upgrade sprue box.
>>98173225No, you fucking dumbass zoomer, people interacting across age groups was never weird until your generation started being weird about it. When I was growing up I had friends 5 years younger and 10 years older and everyone was cool with that shit, age gap relationships were completely normal, it's only recently that this fucking weird turbo autism about age has started with memes like calling people "unc" if they're three years older than you or girls screaming some 25 year old dude is a pedo if he dates a 21 year old girl. You people are so fucking weird.

>>98173248It's more of a terminally online thing too. The "she's only 21 you sick fuck!" thing is aging wholesome chunguses who are mad they chased all their moids away.As far as just associating, I'm in a group that goes 20-35 with no problems, associating with kids as a random adult is still a bit weird IMO.
>>98173313>thing is aging wholesome chunguses who are mad they chased all their moids away.lulI know a chick with big tits (but she's also getting fat now) who browsed 4chan in 2006 for 2hus and was a holds up spork attention whore who went to every concert, con and rave she could in her early 20s and now she talks about being 30 and wanting to settle down. As you can imagine she was hot and skinny (but big tits) when younger and every dude wanted to hit that. But nowwwwwwwww hahaha.
>>98172798>Is (and always will be) the battle for mankind's soulChaos Marines weren't even in the setting originally
>>98173333Digits of ironic tragedy.Yeah I knew a girl who had 3 orbiters and 2 real BFs (not at the same time thankfully). Now alone. Millennials got fucked over so hard.
>>98173313>associating with kids as a random adult is still a bit weird IMOIt is if you're going out of your way to do it, but if its just some kids that show up to the hobby store looking to play and you're one of the players that's available there's nothing wrong, just be chill and polite and cut back on the cursing or inappropriate jokes and don't be a weirdo around kids. I understand this is a lot to ask of some of the sperglords into this hobby but it's also a game that well-adjusted adults and parents play too.
>>98173073>>98173016The simplest answer is that 40k isn't meant to be any specific government system, it is and always has been a soup.It's a feudalist authoritarian fascist monarchist theocratic communist oligarchic technocratic confederacy. It has elements of all of them.That's because this is a setting which kitchen soups every major sci fi setting as well as a few major fantasy settings.40k's biggest real life influences are the mediaeval period and the WW2 period so that's where it gets most of its government inspiration from.And 1984's Ingsoc Party for good measure.
>>98171095Those of us who've been waiting 30+ years for "Ork who looted a Leman Russ battlecannon and strapped it to his bike." and got "Ork with a larger than usual gatling gun and a model that's 90% tactical rock."
>>98173347>cursingThis is funny to me since I remember being in high school and playing super edgy video games and being all over the internet and then people IRL say "heck" and "darn".It's better to have too many boundaries than too few though.
>>98173363I will die on the hill that the two most stereotyped governments (Imperium as fascist and Tau as communist) have paper thin justification and it's mostly the aesthetic (as filtered through American historylets) that put them there.Red Scorpions aren't nazis while I'm at it. Anyone who thinks that's feldgrau needs glasses.
>>98173313>associating with kids as a random adult is still a bit weirdkids are human too, and its good for their development to have good interactions with adults both to have positive opinions of people older than them, and to have someone expand their ordinary conversations skills. obviously you can’t be friends friends with them, and you should back off immediately when you see the kid doesn’t like it, but a chance encounter or an acquaintance they see regularly at an event doesn’t do any harm
Are there any minis that are only available at a brick and mortar gw store?
What the game really needs is an evergreen warzone for Imperium v Imperium conflicts with lots of belligerents on either side for a variety of reasons and even swapped sides at some point or another. Some kind of ideological schism or wrap storm region that randomly possesses people.
>>98170662I've came in with my 4 year old to the factory store like 4 times and the store's only employee didn't say shit, and just looked like he wanted to kill himself the entire time I was in there. Are you telling me that isn't normal? Even a token goes a long way with kids that age.
>>98173406imperium nihilus>beyond da emprah's light>technically dante is the lord-protector or something and baal is the military capital but baal kind of sucks and no one really lives there>travel is hard>random isolated worlds with agents of the imperium (arbeetays) and pdfs (nonces) trying to defend their shit from sudden incursions by space marines claiing to repesent the imperium and are there to collect tithes, or marines malevolent there to steal stuff. Sisters of battle suspect everyone of heresy and shoot them, deathwatch respond to unknown calls that worlds have been infiltrated by genestealers etc.
Why did the necrontyr give a fuck about sun cancer when they were already a spacefaring empire by the time of the biotransference? Logically, biotransference could only be their trump card to win the war, no relation to the sun cancer, which renders the whole think kind of pointless.
>>98173446Just ignore any lore written after 4th edition anon. GW didn't send their best after the original guys left.
>>98172686I'm not sure you can outright name the Imperium's government, but you can easily describe it as a feudal necrocracy. It's a feudal regime ruled by a dead monarch that, at its core, only really cares that its controlled worlds pay their taxes and don't engage in blatant heresy. Most worlds are largely free to do as they please otherwise in terms of rulership.Otherwise the Imperium has aspects of centralized authoritarianism (the power and demands flowing from the High Lords), theocracy (role of the Ecclesiarchy), oligarchy (again the High Lords), and yes Fascism. The Imperium exhibits at least 11 of Lawrence Britt's 14 characteristics of fascism. The only ones I don't see it meeting are "sham elections", cronyism, and sexism, because there's no attempt to look like a democracy, a lot of Imperial institutions are meritocratic by nature, and nobody cares about whether you're a man or woman when you can serve the Emperor. There's nationalism everywhere, no concern for human rights, unifying scapegoats (even if they are legitimate threats), military is supreme, state media and censorship, security of the empire is central, fusion church and state, no labor power can rise up, and limitless law enforcement authority.>TL;DRThe Imperium is a fascist feudal necrocracy
>>98173082There's actually a good spearhead for Daemons coming out but it's still nowhere near Start Collecting box value and you also have to like Slaanesh on top of it. That's honestly a lot to ask.
>>98172942That one photo they use is a little misleading, it's on an Oval base, and it's center of gravity is still pretty close to the middle. The right arm and weapon aren't very heavy. Also you can repose them without much effort if it still worries you.

>>98173459>necrocracy that’s probably my favorite word ever, and a system of government that is simultaneously the coolest and funniest to exist. shame the only real world application of it is north korea.
>>98173459>unifying scapegoats (even if they are legitimate threats)Yeah they don't qualify as scapegoats if they're real, I'll grant you the rest though
>>98173459>>98173533Emps ain't dead though.
>>98173446They had an interstellar empire, but they apparently mastered every science but biology. Eventually they might have actually solved their evolutionary shortcomings and their supercancer. But their meeting with the Old Ones pissed them off collectively as a species so much that they sided with gassy star vampires who then ate their souls.
>>98173724To be fair I'd be pissed too if I had turbo cancer that caused me have a life span of like 20-30 years. And then met with some guy who could end my suffering and actually heal my turbo cancer and increase my lifespan from 20 years to like 80-100 years. Only for them to refuse because they say I'm "evil"
