The one death guard player at my LGS doesn't smell at all. In fact none of them do, which is pleasant despite our otherwise schizophrenic/basement dweller appearance.

Does anyone else's LGS have a shame cube? Mine does, pic rel, I assume these are either donations or a lost and found. I never actually asked the store owners why it's here but there are models that appear and disappear over time. I focused on the one rubric in the middle that actually looks pretty good, take a look around for laughs like the aborted baby dreadnought.

What are you currently working on anons? Ive not long started the armageddon box, painted my chaplain and captain with relic shield.

Currently painting 1 of 3 eradicator with bolter. Times like this i wish i didnt pick Iron Hands because painting black so close to white casings for weapons is a pain.

hypothetical scenario:
what if one day, your LGS just closed forever, for whatever reason? (e.g gas explosion overnight, property owner sold it to housing development company etc)

what would your local playerbase do?
my friend posed this question to me yesterday, saying how he doesnt like warhammer communities that congregate around a store (we play at a club, not the LGS) because generally if the store dies, the community dies

I agreed with him because at the local LGS, all the players rely on the LGS's terrain, and that if the LGS just suddenly wasnt there anymore it'd be a huge problem for the playerbase as:
>nowhere else locally could host games (GW doesnt do in-store games anymore, nowhere else owns terrain)
>no players own terrain as they rely on the LGS's
>next closest store is 2 towns away, half hour drive and has limited space
>half of the LGS's playerbase don't drive
they'd be completely fucked

so I ask the question to anons, what would happen locally if that happened?
have you ever thought about the store having to close?

Unironically I think people who behave like this should be taken out back of the LGS and beaten by the entire rest of the occupants of the building. Literally bullwhipped and caned until they stumble home and shower. If we lived in a more civilized age it would be legal to do this.

>>98324487

>>98324487
You should always bathe yourself to flex on the card game community (mostly MTGfags) and keep them in their disgusting smelly corners of the LGS by showing the owner how proper nerds can present themselves. Preferably they will even become confined to their own LGS like my town has arranged.

>>98324607
Yeah, complete tourney spergery of the absolute worst sort. Fucking disgusting homo shit. Also who the fuck actually plays on these 60" x 44" table sizes GW added recently just to shrink games down so they could pack more tables into tournament venues? They're fucking tiny horseshit.

It truly is though, the game is supposed to be cinematic and narrative and have ideally beautifully modelled battlefields that look like dioramas, mirrored terrain instantly kills immersion and looks like a sports arena made for smelly /v/ermin tourist trannies and league of legends players.

>>98324621
I wasn't specifically attacking you just pointing out my disgust that GW expects us to play on boards like that. The fact that they put shit like that in OFFICIAL MATERIAL now is like "its never been so over" levels of grim.

the game is a game its supposed to be fun for whoever is playing it thats what the purpose of games are
if the dudes playing want to have mirrored terrain because they think it makes the game feel more fair or strategically interesting or whatever I dont have any issue with that
you clearly prefer the opposite which I also dont have issue with
People should just play how they want

Most of it is scratch-made of plasticard and extra bits with a good paintjob. Literally fractions of the cost to build compared to buying a 2000 point army. And a couple experienced hobbyists can put stuff like this together in a couple weeks, and then it lasts you decades of gaming. And you don't need mega boards that big right away, either.

I haven’t been the excited to build and paint a model since the big dudes collage!

>>98324698

40k isn't expensive, the wage slaves who bitch about it endlessly are just poor. No one forces you to buy an entire army all at once. I don't recall ever encountering people who own boats or go golfing whinging about the cost of their hobbies but 40k has this weird entitlement problem where some people want to get into the hobby despite knowing they might realistically choose between groceries or minis.

40k is only expensive if you are a slapchopping metawhore.
If you paint for quality over being table-ready ASAP, a $60 box of infantry will give you more hours of entertainment than your average AAAslop video game.
And with 20 dollars worth of engine degreaser you can paint them again and again, just make sure you have some small jewelry brushes for the deep nooks

One thing I found out when I really looked into it is that 40k is expensive compared to what it feels like it should cost. Yeah, it's crazy a baneblade costs $200, right? Even recasters, who absolutely despise large models like that, can get you one at a 25% discount AT LEAST.
Well, compare a 40k army (~$1000 for about 2k points) to being a pianist, where a piano that doesn't sound like shit costs $5000 or more. Also, since it's plastic, the army will last forever as long as you don't store them somewhere retarded, but the piano requires more maintenance. Same for shooting, a decent pistol costs at least $500, a decent rifle with decent sights costs at least $1000, every trip to the range costs over $100, and triple all that if you're a competition shooter. Hell, one trip to the strip club costs more than I spend on 40k in two months.
You know what 40k costs as much as? Basic karate. A reputable school will charge you a bit more per month than you would spend on a box of 40k infantry. Only low-end, though, reaching black belt will add some extra costs, and only super popular styles like karate, something more esoteric like FMA or Pencak Silat will also add some extra costs.

Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.

>>98325042
this is a weird fucking post

>>98325053
nah it makes sense, if you consider 40k an "adult" hobby like golf or something it's pretty mild

>>98325049
We had the same problem, turns out getting a new warhammer guy is pretty fucking difficult, they have to get their warhammer certification first and that process can take one half of a fiscal year. You might need to just go to another LGS that has a warhammer guy until it gets sorted.

what's this month's collage?

>>98325056
yeah its just so weirdly specific and it made me lol
also those other hobbies are cooler and better so it makes sense they cost more

>>98325058
Solid table, could use a bit more terrain but I have no other complaints. Paint job is particularly nice.

what do you guys do when your local warhammer guy is on 2 week vacation right when the big release comes out that you were waiting for?

>>98325060
My store had a "warhammer guy". Turns out he faked his credentials. I only learned about it when he wasn't behind the counter and apparently when the cops knocked on his door he just offed himself instead of answering. Shit's no joke man.

>>98325058

>>98325071
yeah the guy at my store had been selling warhammer without a license for over a decade
Swat team exercised a no-knock warrant on him in the middle of the night and he got 35 years

>>98325077
>>98325071
wtf guys?? my LGS hired me as their warhammer guy and they didn't even tell me I needed credentials or anything, I've already been doing it for 10 months, what the fuck do I do? are they coming for me?

>>98325064
My point is that, even though Warhammer 40k feels expensive, and it's definitely more expensive than it should be, it's still one of the cheaper hobbies out there. Most are a lot more demanding. Those are weirdly specific because those are all things I have experience with (well, I never did piano, I did guitar, but guitar is quite possibly the cheapest instrument to learn).

Anyways, I'm starting to suspect my town's Warhammer guy is actually just selling Kazakh recasts. Are the sprues supposed to look like shit and smell like horse? Can I call GW to check?

Ask for his license. Yeah he'll be offended but he has to show it to you if you ask.

I like orks :D

I like 40k lore, and I like tabletop gaming and wargaming, but I don't like painting. I wish I could just color all the minis with markers or crayons or something.

>>98325099
You'll learn to like it if you actually look up some good tutorials and practice. I used to be the same way.

>>98325085
I order recasts frequently from a large number of sources and no recaster under the sun is using plastic. if your kit is plastic it's GW.

>>98325098
way to save the thumbnail instead of the image

>>98325106
Honestly it's funnier this way, oldfags will still recognize what the image is immediately and newfags will be gatekept

>>98325099
Unironically, markers exist now. I mean they have for a long time for Gundam shit, but Army Painter sells them now too.

>>98325099
If you could do it with a marker you can do it with a brush, it's basically the same thing.

minis should be metal. plastic is too delicate. I crave the strength and certainty of steel.

You are a low IQ that does not derive please from personal enrichment and achievement
You see something that is difficult, but rewarding and have no motivation to overcome the temporary difficulty for the reward
You are what we in the business call "niggercattle"
You exist only to consume and have no interest in producing something unique that is yours and only yours

>>98325116
I've actually had more problems with metal since a lot of the older metal minis easily bend at thin parts, and if it breaks, it's much harder to get it back together because it's not just shattered but misshapen.

>>98324969
Zoats. Not joking. They're big and have wacky powerful tech.
If not them, something else that fills a similar niche to ogres in Fantasy/AoS where you have a bunch of big, easy-to-paint lads that offer room for customization.

>buy 80 gaunts for $1 a model new on sprue off ebay
>buy a couple of carnifexes and a tervigon for ~$150 from the LGS just to support em
>got a friend to print me a hive tyrant and 6 zoanthropes for ~$20
>buy another carnifex, 2 malanthropes and a trygon from a recaster for $75
buying an entire army for <$500 feels pretty decent

>>98325116
The pewter minis snapped off way more easily than plastic.
Elasticity is more important to durability than raw hardness of the material

It's all "hurr hurr metal is better" up until you have to clip their sharp little shitass pieces off sprues and actually have to to paint the damn thing. Not to mention metal is far more reactive to the elements than man-made plastic. Bends and tarnishes just like your nan.

>>98325116
I am tired of drilling tiny holes through my models to join them with wires

There is nothing certain about half a lb of metal held together with superglue and wire

>>98324877
What annoys me most about this image is how easy it would be to just spray all that shit black and dust it with grey. Then base it all in texture paste or gravel and you instantly have a "GRIMDARK CITY OF DEATH"

Someone I think here mentioned the Cadian recon squad was somehow the most desired infantry squad for Imperial Guard for playing. Is there something about them that makes them good or are they just cool?

>>98325156
>How about Men of Iron?
No, let them stay the scattered remanents if the terrifying force they once was.
Everything from the past doesn't need to come back, just look at fucking Squats

>>98325159
Recon Guard was top tier in the previous meta before 11th arrived a month ago.

>>98325163
>No, let them stay the scattered remanents if the terrifying force they once was.
That's kind of the idea of a high-cost, very elite army.

>>98325159
They're not even cool looking, give me some Last Chancers instead, cooler mmodels and much mroe diverse

>>98325166
I'd be fine if someone converted a knight army to be like that, but pretty much every time the men of iron have shown up in the fluff they've either been terrifyingly insane(the time stasis comic, the ones the dark angels have locked up torturing), or have been trying to hide and constantly on the move(blackstone fortress character).

>>98325128
I genuinely want Zoats and think GW could do something cool with them.

>>98325042
yeah my /tg/ hobbies (40k and MtG) are cheaper than my non-/tg/ ones (cars and snowboarding)
cars really goes without explanation, huge range of costs both in what kind of car you want and how much you want to modify it, but if we just ignore the car and talk about driving on a track in the most basic way
>each track day costs about $100-200 just for 45 minutes driving
>set of 4 performance tires is $800-2000 dollars, will last a half-dozen sessions at most
>unless you live in a place without cold weather, you have to swap the sticky tires off or have a second set of wheels for them
>track driving is also hard on brakes and the car in general, so factor in a $1000-2000 for other consumables after a few track days
for skiiing/riding
>season pass $600-1000 depending on the mountain
>probably have to drive 45min-2hrs to your local mountain, so gas adds up
>need to buy gear every few years, will be a few hundred even if you budget hard, otherwise $1-1.5k for a full kit (board+boots+binding+helmet+clothes)

If Ad Mech just got access to all the robots they have from Horus Heresy (which in lore they totally do), you could run a list with lots of big robots. I've been playing Mechanicum in Heresy with a bunch of big robots and it's been pretty fun and effective. Have 24 models total on the table, and five of them are necessary characters because of HH 3.0's whacked out list building.

>>98324969
I'd like to see Harlequin rules redesigned to something more hyper elite. Pump their damage towards custodes tier, making each one the equal of characters in other armies. Obviously they shouldn't be as tanky as custodes, but tuning them to be less squishy with invulns and minuses to hit would let them stick around longer, while higher movement still gives them a different advantage.
This would have the secondary benefit of making them much more viable as an army of their own even with their limited roster, since you'd be taking far less as they'd cost way more points.
They should still be able to ally with other eldar armies, but making them much more elite would give them a much different niche to the ones already filled by DE wyches and CWE banshees.

Because you're playing an overbloated skirmish game that's at a scale which was only meant for like 2-3 dozen models per side and it shouldn't even have aircraft. Go play Epic.

The three closest stores to me all closed down or moved away within about a year and a half of each other, all of which were previously operating for around 30 years.

Depending on the quality of the printer, you’re using the models can end up with ridges on them that make it very obvious that they were printed
The issue has mitigated overtime as the quality of 3-D printing has improved
But even still low to mid quality printers still produce these ridges on the models
And the higher quality printers are quite expensive still

I don't understand how enhancements work; do I just declare "this unit has an enhancement" at the start of the game? As in, am I supposed to give them a little item on their mini to denote it, the way you give them weapons and stuff.

What are everyone's predictions for the first balance patch for general changes?
I think Guard Squads will get a point drop, Necrons are going to see a bunch if +5pt updates, Thousand Sons are also going to get a whack to that detachment, and CSM will see a few points drops

>>98325400
If you get a good resin printer, curing setup, and spend time properly calibrating everything they can look indistinguishable from injection molded stuff.
I know a few people with printers and the quality, even among two who have the same printers varies based on how diligent they are about setting everything up right.
I'd recommend buying bases, you can get no-name injection molded bases cheap in bulk. If your printing is anything less than perfect in resin, printed bases are super noticeable and look like shit since they are prominent, solid color flat surfaces.

Given that most people IRL paint their legit GW armies like shit, it's not like a decently painted printed army can look much worse even if you are less than perfectly printing.
You can also mix'n'match with legit parts from eBay and/or add scratch elements to lessen any imperfections.

Wounds represent heroism/plot armour/fate, not anything biological. Toughness represents the quality of your physical meat and flesh.

Was there something in recent lore drops that suggested Guilliman/the UM are creating space marines at a blacksite and potentially legion building? I vaguely heard that from someone but had no source.

The game has changed in a such a way where you bring so many models, a table top loss for SM means a whole demi-company of dudes is getting wiped out. I honestly wouldn't mind if legion building was the case since I can justify losses on the table top
