>>98395806TQ: helped me since venetari became cheaper
>>98395806>2 dozen detachments for guard>not a single one gives you kasrkin battlelineJAMES WORKSHOP, I'M READY TO BUY 4 MORE BOXES OF KASRKIN!
>>98395815I wish we got lucifer blacks already
>>98395811Have truer words ever been spoken?
>>98395806>TQ+15 points for a neurotyrant, so -115 overall because I'm dropping itBattleshock still sucks, btw
>>98395824any idea how they're meant to look like other than just kaserkin/scions painted black?
>>98395824stay on youtube
>>98395806>tqmy list got 5 points cheaper. technically -40pts and +35pts so its a wash. could upgrade something but don't wanna. feels pretty good.
what's the difference between reconnaissance missions and priority asset missions?
>>98395824Are any of the old hundred still around fighting for the imperium?What are the Lucifer blacks even doing now?
What characters should have models that don’t?
>>98395824>I wish we got [an Imperial Army regiment conceived solely to be jobbers to make Astartes and Primarchs look good in the HH series, which doesn't even exist in 40k anymore] as models alreadyAre there really people who think like this?
STOP MAKING NEW THREADSTHERE IS ALREADY A THREAD
>>98395868Yea because every army has to exist to make space marines look tough and badass.
>>98395845The Lucifer Blacks were Imperial Army elites (who had already been disbanded before the start of the HH series, and only continued as an honor guard for VIPs). They would look closer to the Solar Auxilia than any 40k regiment or Scions.
>>98395872Im will not use the autism edition troll thread.
>>98395872The board etiquette is bump limit and page 8 or bump and image limit and has been this way for nearly a decade, newfag
>friend decides to get into 40k since I said 11th was coming out soon a while back>he knows I play Guard and Sororitas>he picks el generico Space Marines, paints them up as Salamanders>play a few "learner" matches on TTS before fully investing in his army, agree to "be casual and not sweat">agree that my rosters are only going to be models I actually have to teach him>he magically only has teams that are hard counters to my rosters and knows exactly what abilities and strategems to use at the exact right timesDo I just give up on playing with him?
>>98395806They didn't hit my memelist at all, but I'm still a little upset about them. >8 detachment combinations remain. >Tiger shark got the ability to shoot things instead of being a 325 point terrain piece, so it surely needed a 50pt nerf. >Farsight is now cheaper than ten cadians.
>>98395140Gimme more Vostroyans, the MTO isn't enough
>>98395885I've been on /tg/ since 2008 suck my fat hog, redditor.
>>98395885>image limitI started seeing a lot of that happen back in 2023 I think.Makes me wonder what would happen if some cheeky anons decided to force image limit before bump limit on this warhammer 40k thread.
>>98395856in the first you gather cunny hentai, in the second oppai
>>98395886It’s not about winning it’s about having fun
>>98395886>gets into 40k >immediately becomes a waacfagUmmBased?
>>98395886You can still have fun but you’re going to have to go into the games with a different mindset, approach the game as an insane mode match knowing that your countered that way you don’t feel bad if you lose. Could still make it fun that way.
>>98395856recon usually wants the corners, priority assets centre.
>>98395898One of the early throoder already tried that, usually with sisters shit or transgender primarchs.
>>98395886Sometimes people just start out in the WAACfag phase of their player careers. These types feel desperate to succeed at the hobby because they don't want to feel like they wasted their time and money building an army only to get their teeth kicked in on the table. Many grow out of this early WAACfag phase as they realize the game part of 40k is the least interesting and fun part of the hobby. Of course, if you're unlucky, it's not a phase.
>>98395886Sounds like you need to step up your game and/or don't save the thematic casual games for other friends and come to this guy when you want to practice actually playing well.
There’s nothing wrong with lore YouTubers. Many of us got into the hobby that way.
>>98395914I sometimes fall asleep to a nice comfy loretube video
>>98395815I converted my engineers to be kasrkin with shotguns and my aqualons to be kasrkin with grav chutes to get my fix
>>98395918>>98395914
>>98395914I cannot fathom reading lore about a game/show/setting I don't have some participation in already. But you do you.
>>98395914There's plenty wrong with them and you.
>>98395865The true Lucifer Blacks were disbanded even before the start of the HH novels. They were reduced to an honor guard force that manned the walls of the Imperial Palace and escorted VIPs. After the Heresy, only a handful were left, and the name Lucifer Blacks was recycled as a new Imperial Guard regiment that garrisoned the Palace. So there's three distinct Lucifer Blacks:>Great Crusade-era Lucifer Blacks, the real deal, the hardest of the hard and the baddest of the bad in the Imperial Army. >Heresy-era Lucifer Blacks, demobilized and given an honorary post on Terra as Palace guard. Was supposed to be an easy, relaxed assignment for living legends of the Great Crusade to enjoy a well-deserved pseudo-retirement, scaling down recruitment. Didn't turn out as expected.>Post-Heresy Lucifer Blacks, after being effectively wiped out to a man in the Siege, the name is handed to a new regiment formed after Guilliman reformed the Imperial Army into the Imperial Guard. Almost no relation to the previous Lucifer Blacks other than the name and their post, being Terra. Most likely wiped out multiple times since then and rebuilt from scratch. Theoretically elite by IG standards, but in practice they're probably sub-Scion level.
>>98395889>>Farsight is now cheaper than ten cadians.Farsight will give you 20 points by the end of the edition
Is 11th edition supposed to get any new armies? I don’t follow the rumour engine.
>>98395886>knows what abilities and strategems to use at the exact right timesWhat does this even mean???There are only a small handful of strategems that are actually worth using. Almost all of them are hyper niche and... basically spoonfeed you on when to use themIf your friend has played any other game where he has needed to rub 2 brain cells together 40k is easy as piss
>TQDeldar keep getting cheaper and cheaper to field, which is a blessing and a curse. We’ve needed better balance because it seemed like our decent, non-battleline units were expensive and didn’t pack enough power for the points they took up. However, now we’re getting point gaps to fill and there’s really nothing great to fill them with. Add a haemonculus to fill that 50 point void or a lone cronos? Either way you have a single guy doing nothing. Hopefully GW gives us some love and gives us a refresh with new units. Or, ffs, bring my grotesques back!!!My question:Do you have names for the captcha shapes? I name them things like “hammer”, “duck”, “double-duck”, “baby rattle”
>>98395914>There’s nothing wrong with lore YouTubersYes there is>Many of us got into the hobby that waythat's the problem
>>98395955Iron Warriors are rumoured to be getting their own codex alongside the release of their daemon primarch Big Pert
We finally got a lawful good faction in 40k
>>98395971That’s the tau theyre the good guys
>>98395906thanks. exactly the take i was looking for.
>tqI can squeeze in heavy flamers for my third heavy weapons team now, which is nice.
>>98395971isolationism is lawful neutral
why couldn'tthey justhave an orkkill teamkill teamsnagga boyzand 10 snagga boyz nposwhy did they make it such shit value
>>98395971>murders you in you are path for stepping on the grass
>>98395995Because no one wants lame ass snagga boyz. Worst Ork models in the game. If I wanted savage Orks I’d play fantasy.
>>98395995>why did they make it such shit valuebecause exodites are that attractive or a concept
Catachans are going to get a nice new Kill team like the Cadian one, right?
>>98396001Everyone is going to blame the eldar fans if the box bombs even if it is full of ork snaggas
>>98396019>Everyonejust the resident schizo
>>98396005KILL TEAM CATACHAN5 catachan operativesSlick MixlyFatty BluntBlack WomanCarlos JimenezMax Powervs.20 shit models that didn't sell so they're being packaged together170 dollars
>>98395997So don't step on the grass

Has a model line ever failed as much as the beast snaggas?
>>98396027>Slick Mixly>Fatty Blunt>Black Woman>Carlos Jimenez>Max PowerEnough, I am already sold.
>>98396031All eldar
>>98396019if there were at least 8 Exodite models in that box, it might almost be worth eating the cost of the Snaggers they forced in there like a barbed-wire baseball bat right up every Eldar player's rectum. Instead there's 3 actual Exodites and 2 widdle babby raptors. Woohoo.
>>98395959Shuriken, Star, BANGSemi-circe, Ice-cream cone, Demon Core, Moon
>>98396031Ynnari were received so poorly they axed the faction
>>98396031
>>98396031emperor's childrenspace wolvesthe new blood angels
>>98396031>whole point of Orks in 40k is that they're a fantasy race but by embracing ramshackle technology so much it becomes a core of their identity, they establish themselves in the setting>take away the ramshackle technologyidk bro that's crazy how it be like that
>>98396041I guess that miserable faggot Thorpe is good for something after all.
>>98396042Wretched
>>98396047snakebites have existed as a popular subfaction longer than you've been alive
>>98396031votaan
>>98396050Snakebites aren't Snaggers
>>98396044>space wolvesHow so??
>>98396053yes they are
>>98396050Ah yes, the Snakebites that everyone famously played their Orks as and not literally every other clan because they're slightly less lame than beast snaggas.
>>98396042Wow. That is upsetting and I haven't collected Fantasy in a very long time.
>>98396037if they had replaced the squig riders with board and scenery at the very least it would be reasonable
>>98396050Snakebites suck ive never seen a snakebite army ever
>>98396056Nuh uh, Snakebites are no different from regular boyz. They use the same ramshackle tech as everyone else. Snaggers are just a sub-subgroup that Snakebites have more of than other Ork factions
>>98396050>snakebites>popular>longer than you've been aliveway to self-report, newfag
>>98396068oh look the larper's doubling down
>>98396053snaggers are basically a snakebites army release with the serials filed off so that autistic fags wouldn't go>uh, my army is painted BLUE>I can't possibly buy something that isn't part of BLUE
>>98395868Lucifer Blacks exist in 40k.
Where is the proof that snaggas failed? Most Ork players run them in their armies.
>>98395872Let Chaos Idols take this thread!
>>98396077He will now seethe even harder and claim it's because they're meta when they aren't
>>98396073Not the Lucifer Blacks you're thinking of. The real Lucifer Blacks died in the Siege. The ones in 40k are skinwalking Imperial Guardsmen wearing the name of a legendary Imperial Army maniple.
>>98396077Do you ask for proof when the idiot brain trust here on 40kg declares Votann or Emperor's Children or Krieg failures?
>>98396084>deflectionlol!
>>98396079>faggot is now changing the image every other thread to bypass filtersunironically kill yourself
>>98396077the proof is that they're still trying desperately to offload the sprues via the exodite box after the combat patrol failed to clear out their stock
>>98396080they literally are meta
i straight don't get snakebitez/sniggas lore/model range>hate tech and ride pigs, closer to feral orks>literal exact same tech level of amount guns and power claws and shit as regular orks anyway
>>98396086you don't filter him anyways, you just cry about him and then throw a fit and call us all samefags when we tell you to filter him
>>9839608340k "humans" are nothing but mutants skinwalking their pre age of strife ancestors
>>98396092>everyone I don't like is the same personschizo
>>98396077just some people here parroting outdated and out of place opinions that don't stand up to scrutiny
Thousand sons model line is the most spectacular failure in modern history.
>>98396096Nta but I personally never been bothered by the rat posts, I am just confused by them. Why is she yelling “bruh”? What’s the joke? Why does anyone even like that meme at all?
>>98396042what the hell were they thinking? Seriously
>>98396089also half their bodies are cybernetics
>>98396099I mean, I'm not in the camp of snaggas are a failed model line but the ork player at my store takes them isn't much in the way of scrutiny either.
>>98395903That's my point though, he is ONLY playing to win, and is doing it behind a veneer of "I'm still learning the game," yet he suspiciously only picks optimal setups to counter what I have.I tried to have the "fun doesn't just mean winning" conversation, I didn't really get a constructive response.>>98395905>>98395913Good point, I've largely been a thematic game player in the past so I've never really had to build or play optimally.>>98395956>What does this even mean???Mostly down to him knowing exactly where and when to do certain things despite prior experience.>If your friend has played any other gameHe is totally new to tabletop wargaming in the past 3 months or so. The closest before this is PC strategy games (he's big into Total War).It just feels odd that with that little window and lack of prior experience he ONLY brings extremely potent almost specifically-built counters to what I have. No fluff units, no "I just like it," only "good" units.
>>98396086How about filter the phrase he uses literally every single time if you're that bothered?The only ritualposting that gets me is the Ork :D poster, since I see it multiple times a thread. Create a trip if you want to samefag, don't add that to every comment you make.
Would you the Skitarri anon?
I think it's funny that the beastboss is wider than he is tall.
>>98396127Targeting squigs are based tho
>>98396103permanent = permanent
>>98396087Their packaging probably has comparable costs to their plastic, there's no way they're manually repackaging sprues.They might try to skew sales for certain sculpts for bean counting reasons though.

>>98396127Warcraft the Miniatures Game looking pretty alright
>>98396132Diamond in the rough I actually like the sniggaboss
>>98396127Looks like AoS TRASH
>>98396089They're savage orks but 40k, which means that they're somewhat more tribal than other orks and prefer simpler things, but also aren't completely lacking in tech level.>Riding beasts is better than riding vehicles.>Hunting big game (monsters/tanks) is better than bashing smaller stuff.>80% brutal and 20% cunning, instead of 20/80 or 50/50.The focus on prosthetics is there because their hunt and ride preferences come with a lot of encounters with stuff that bites stuff off you.Snaggas as a concept is slightly separate from snakebites so that you can have these ork types in any other klan, just how you can have lootas that aren't deffskulls, flash gits that aren't bad moons, speed freaks that aren't evil suns, or kommandos that aren't blood axes, even if those klans do have a better affinity with those units (a batter way to look at it is how all marines have flamer, bike, and stealth units even though they're respectively the salamanders', white scars and raven guard's "things")
>>98396127This guy looks more like a special character than the new yellow ork.
>>98396041They should've just made Yvraine pretty instead of making her bald with a hair squig. It can be done, I've seen attractive female miniatures.People like the Visarch.Also the Yncarne was probably a bit too chaos-pilled with its giant ibex horn.
>>98396134>wasting ghosts..
Orks are saved!
>>98396153soulless
>>98396096You are extremely identifiable, you type the same way every time you throw a fit
>>98396153not yet, we're so close to greatness
Where in the galaxy can I declare /myguys/ live where they can plausibly fight the largest number of other factions when I play against others? There are a shit ton of fucking Tau players at my store, but then also some space marines who are localized.
>>98396162Everyone fights everywhere all at once all the time.
>>98396162the only truly locked faction is tau
>>98396162Literally anywhere, warp travel is notorious for putting you off course enough to fight whoever your heart desires
>>98395997It's a little different in sci-fi vs fantasy. In fantasy, a random human peasant can plausibly wander into the elf forest and get murdered unjustly. In sci-fi, you have to shlep all the way to another planet in another solar system and land, there's no way you accidentally go onto an elf planet.
I’ll never get snagga hate because the entire ork range looks like unmitigated dogshit. Both old and new. Nothing remotely salvageable in it.
>>98396162you have to imagine your dudes near the tau, even though they have appeared as far as Baal (not sure if they ever wiped those guys out)
>>98396170Orks are based :D
>>98396170permanent means permanent
>>98396149Yvraine was a repurposed Lady Malys model. The Visarch was going to be an Incubus special character or a Corsair Prince mini, one of the two. The Yncarne was going to be an Avatar of Cegorach, hence why it's got Slaaneshi aspects (Cegorach sometimes disguises himself as Slaanesh, just like Solitaires do). That's why they're all ill-fitting for the faction they're supposed to represent, the whole thing was a rushjob by the retarded CEO who nearly ruined 40k.The Corsairs got theirs back though, as the Corsairs box was originally going to be a Battleline unit for the Ynnari and got repurposed as Corsairs after Ynnari were completely reviled by the entire fanbase.
>>98396170You say this and probably play Votann KWAB
>>98396050Orks 100% should be about ramshackle Mad Max technology, with some looted technology from other races scattered here and there. They should not be about primitive animal shit, we have Exodites for that. I admit that Ork animal shit is about gross and ugly animals like pigs, while Exodites are about dinosaurs and birds, but absolutely Orks have a clear identity as Mad Max guys.
>>98396170only terrible people don't like orks
>>98396139I figure he went to ChatGPT and asked "my friend plays -lists my rosters- in 40k, give me a Salamanders roster that directly counters it" and used that as a starting point.I don't like waiting on James Workshop, but my other option is dumping more money to them on half a new army so c'est la vie.
>>98396005I can’t believe they didn’t put caravans in the box with the exodites, what where they thinking.
>>98396180Dwarves are for cucks. I’m probably gonna get into necrons unless lost and the damned is announced this year.
>>98396019If the box bombs then they'll push out the standalone exodite kill team faster to move stock, right?
>>98396138I would probably drop the flayed ones and the Hexmark for another 6 Skorpekhs to get more outta your giant deathball threat in the centre of the board and then maybe swap Imotekh for two more Lokust Heavies to fill out the squad and give you some really powerful shooting
A lot of model ranges would make more sense if instead of>you can model this as SubfactionIt was just >Snakebite Ridahs>Freebootaz>Bad MoonsetcGW tries to get around linking specific models to specific subfactions because of reasons but it comes off as le dumb
Bad moons are coolest Orks.
Dark Eldar refresh is coming. I can feel it.
>>98396188How does a race have a low birth rate anyway? Never made sense to me, do their women just not ovulate? Are they all impotent? Species don't get large populations without having a good birth rate. Could it be their birth rate collapsed? But then it sounds like they're doing things specifically to bring it up, so it implies some sort of biological thing.
>>98396179Pretty sure we have gotten official confirmation from former GW employees that at least two of those are not correct
>>98396118Playing on tabletop simulator strips out all of the fun of your dudes in my opinion. Someone getting into it through that only would just google what units they should take and then run go from there.Maybe next time you could make it a pure narrative mission with a bunch of cool asymmetrical stuff. Or just do combat patrols to start with if you are just learning the game. Hopefully when you sit down and play IRL it clicks that 40k is multiple hobbies in a trenchcoat, and that when you combine them all that is where the big fun is. But when its just tabletop simulator the point of playing is to win because the rest of the hobby is gone in my opinion.
>>98396200making them all faction-agnostic means you can make /yourdudes/ be whatever composition of Ork units you want, or you can do zany shit like making a Snaggas-heavy Bad Moons army because the Warboss lost his mind, it's a good move for personalization. God knows 40k is running short on customization and personalization options ever since 10th dropped
>>98396213As I recall women are rarer to be born, like the primary ancestor gods had 2 men married to the same woman for instance. The other huge one is culture. The dwarfs are stubborn autistic retards. They wont let their daughters fuck just anyone. So what you have is a small number of daughters born for every man. Probably why they are so pissy. Huge amount of men competing for small amount of women. Hell you cant even be chad and get casual pussy.
>>98396213>How does a race have a low birth rate anyway?lack of resources: dwarfs live underground and a large part of the infrastructure that supported their empire at its peak has collapsedeldar in 40k are limited by the availability of spirit stones, without whom they simply choose not to bring a child to life because it means damning it
>>98396213I dunno I just take it fantasy is retarded. I know they tried to pull the whole dawn of man thing in fantasy where fantasy races are slowly being phased out by humankind but it’s really fucking retarded really outside of lotr, and it always misses the point.
>>98396160you should really take your schizophrenia medication because I'm not the anon that usually shits on ratfag
>>98396213Some species of animal just have low fertility rates, not for lack of trying to breed.
>>98395856They’re both variety bags of primary missions, but priority plays more on and around the points, and recon more with board edges. They both want to pick up a kill per turn in every matchup I think.
>>98396223Yeah but then you get endless armugents like>flash gitz have pirate hates but they're totally not freebootaz>obliterators and mutilators were made by the obliterator virus created by perturabo but they're not iron warriors>kroot are kroot, but they're actually tau
>>98396244these aren't arguments
>>98396199Good pointers, thx anomn
>>98396244>noooooo subfactions in my table top game!!!
>>98396103ehhh I think they're really cool
>>98396162seconding this question because>everyone is fighting everyone everywhereis just too convenient. I wanna know because I wanna make canon-plausible matchups.All I know is that the Tau are in their little sector and the leagues of Votann are in the galaxy core.
hellblasters?
>>98396236We're all buying it
>>98396259What is a hellblaster?
>>98396226>>98396213it's less clear in hams but hams -sometimes- uses the tolkein lore that dwarf females are kept jealously and few in number, but sometimes they forget this lore like with the imperial dwarf chick in that game about Asavar Kul and the war of 2302Or how Norse Dwarfs have social equality and every Norse Dwarf king also has a Regnant Queen reigning alongside him, while dwarf kings of the Eternal Realm usually reign alone and Chaos Dwarf Sorcerors enslave femdwarfs to breed as much as possible.
>>98396264Helldivers 2 new warhammer collab
>>98395911I disagree but only slightly, min max list building is the least interesting part of the hobby, playing games and scenarios with your favorite models is loads of fun.
>>98396216He started buying models and started building his TTS army off of them, but we live quite a distance apart (friends from HS) so it's the best option to be able to play more than 3 or 4 times a year, unfortunately.>pure narrative missionThis is a good idea, I'll have to try and set something up.>combat patrolsI've played before at 2000pts, he's new but is seemingly dead-set on 1000 point matches. He said anything bigger was "too much going on," and anything smaller was "boring with not enough going on.">Hopefully when you sit down and play IRL it clicksI hope and think so, he really enjoys painting models so I think he'll lighten up once we get onto a real table and he sees /my dudes/ shooting/getting shot at instead of /someone else's dudes' 3d render/

GW is just retarded and doesn't emphasize the marauding nature of Votann resource fleets enough.

>>98396258the votann have FTL travel and scout around to do stuff, it matters little where their headquarters are, hell it matters even less because the galaxy core is specifically awful for anyone but them so it's not a good idea to base anything there
>>98396282How the fuck can Kroot have better space tech than Tau, when they work together, and Kroot are hunter-gatherers?
>>98396274I just don’t get the desire to do TTS ever. Warhammer is not a very good game because it has all the limitations of being a real life tabletop game. What makes it fun are those real life aspects, getting to play with our minis and stand around a table and chat and laugh with your friends. If you’re gonna be on a computer why not just play an actual computer game?

Leman russ is kinda gay. Born a furry, what a cursed existence.
>>98396293It's hard to describe how I "lose" speaking as myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but I've played before with other people both winning and losing matches, and I haven't ever had a "sore loser" moment in a tabletop wargame match (outside of the rare smug cunt rubbing it in and souring the mood of everyone present).None of my fun wins have been stomps, and none of my fun losses have been stomps either. It's in how the win/loss happens for me, I don't like the matches to feel like one-sided stomps too early on, both players should feel like there's a chance of being something beyond meat targets for bullets.>>98396327I agree, TTS wasn't my idea.
>>98396318Kroot ate mek boys and learned how to make warp drives. They don't share this with the Tau because they're not idiots and don't trust the Tau. Tau can't into psychic warp navigation and didn't understand chaos, accidentally their entire 4th expansion fleet with experimental drives that were part stolen kroot tech. They can at this point make warp gates but its still a thing they're slow at, don't have many of and will likely do another retarded thing like use an entire fleet of untested hackjob warp drives.
>>98396318kroots keep their tech to themselves and consciously choose a low tech lifestyle the tau themselves don't use their allies' warp based capabilities and ftl engines because they don't understand them

>>98396449>>98396456Let's just do the simple thing and post models to clear this up, I'll start.
>>98396532are blue orks like trans or something in your headcanon?
>>98396524just fuck off already, you don't belong and nobody wants you here
>>98396532Unironically yes. I'd rather have orks of color than foids.
>>98396244>flash gitz have pirate hats but they're totally not freebootazthat could easily be explained by many orks (blood axes in particular) liking to impersonate their military opponents by wearing their style of dress. its probably the exact reason freebooterz picked up the bicorn in the first place.
>>98396558An entire collage of people kinda says the opposite, little buddy. Unless you still think they're all AI lmao

>>98396564>how many bansI believe the mods missed him yesterday, so this brings his total to 117 bans. say hooray for john halo.
>>98396581If I ever see a female custode I will literally fill up my diaper and throw a tantrum
>>98396577damn, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the wolf up close. I love the expression he’s giving, like he’s utterly indignant that a titan would dare stomp on him.
>>98396289>it really was himcan't make this shit up
>>98396344woof that hairline
>>98396496I think the important part is that since the tau have no warp presence they as a species will never “get” it. So they might be able to make a machine do it but they will never be able to fully understand how it works at an intuitive level.
>>98396570>Viruses spreadhow do you know the obliterator virus in particular spreads?
Penitent Host is a cool as fuck detachment, but I kind of need another unit of Repentia to actually run it and GW Repentia suck ass, are easily the worst models in the otherwise stellar Sisters range (though the Warsuits does kinda give them stiff competition). Raging Heroes used to have a nice alternative, but they've apparently stopped producing those? So, what is a decent Repentia alternative? I don't need them to be cheesecake, and definitely want to avoid nudity, I want to actually put them on the table.
>>98396592Same
>>98396496The was the 4th sphere expansionThe T'au survivors who came out of the warp proceeded to kill all of their non guevasa auxilliaries
>>98396627just get a recast of the old metal ones
Are there tyranid viruses? You'd think those would be more common.Just have a virus that entirely hijacks the organism that is infected which slowly turns them into a tyranid.Hell, the neurothropes or whatever the fuck can already turn your own brain into a fucking tyranid, make it evolve claws, jaws and teeths, that then proceeds to claw out of your skull and kills you.
>>98396618Because marines have been infected by it before, like a couple of marine malevolent guys that investigated a chaos ship.
>>98396496>So how does it work guela? >Psychic space magic alignment with the sea of souls, we must tred lightly to not bring the wrath of daemons upon us >hahah, no really how does it work birdman? >*pretends not to speak Tau, squaks and spits >Fine, we'll steal and backwards engineer it, you primitive unenlightened creatures don't know any better! >Looses entire fleet, partially rescued by greater good warp god That's where they're at. Doesn't matter if they can recreate the tech if they don't have navigators or a lighthouse or believe geller fields are important.
The obliterator virus allows chaos to mind control tyranids
>>98396660I don't know why they even bother controlling the nids when they're easily defeated by razor wire.
>>98396644>Are there tyranid viruses? You'd think those would be more common.They do use viruses and bacteria in their poison glands, sometimes. Depends on how they're adapting to their targets.
>>98396118Abandon all hope. Sounds like a waacfag dont waste any more energy on trying to convince the compfag that the way he is playing is 0 fun. They will never change no matter how much time you invest or explaining that the game is easily broken and its more enjoyable to habe yourdudes and pick fun fluffy shit. Your going to make yourself miserable engaging in the arms race of faggotry. Find someone else that inherintly gets it and just eants to have fun and make good stories.
>>98396644I mean they use venoms on the regular, but they probably focus more on parasites.
>>98396153I like the model but not as nazdreg, he seems just kinda boring .. ghazzy but yellow. Should have made more effort to distinguish him. I think he would be great as a generic warboss.
When the fuck do we get to see the rest of the launch waves? What events are coming up that could have reveal shows? We knew everything about at least one faction's wave by this time last edition.

>>98396666>QuadsNIDDERS BTFO
>>98396618There's a decent PoV from a corrupted tech priest in Storm of Iron that went into it a bit. Its old enough fluff the distinction between the Oblitorator Virus and scrapcode wasn't clear. Its heretek warp code viruses, there's probably an infinite amount of variation, strains and vectors. I don't remember what its from, maybe Mechanicus in the HH series where infected titans can transmit scrapcode viruses with their warhorns. Its magic and infects at the need of plot.
>>98396539not the anons you replied to, but because no one else posted models, and I appreciate you going outside to take a pic of it, here’s mine also in nature (which does have non-green skin btw).

>>98396784Did Guilliman realize when he made Dante the Lord-Regent of the Imperium Nihilus that he was both setting him up for an impossible task to save half a galaxy with no Astronomicon, and that he was additionally making Dante's miserable life that much worse with extra responsibility?

>>98396801SHUT THE FUCK UP I POSTED IT ALRIGHT?
>>98396799No, but he didn't realise that Dante was BFFs with Imotekh who'll do anything to help his bestest buddy out(except kill him)
>>98396799Nobody cares.
>>98396806I mean it's only a hive tyrant, of course he could handle it lol.
>>98396808>Dante has a working battle-buddy relationship with both Imotekh and the Silent King>this means he's ironically stuck between the two Necron Overlords who hate each other the mostTrapped in the middle of a Necron hate triangle
>>98396816The Swarmlord obliterated Calgar on their first match, and is supposed to get deadlier the more it learns of Imperial defenses and champions. Dante bodied it in the post-Calgar era
>>98396257Always love seeing your posts man. What color do you use for the purple robe accents, ie ahriman/infernal master?

>>98396449>only 14 yearsYou will NEVER be a primary
>>98396833No. He didn't. The Swarmlord attacked Calgar with its Tyrant Guard in the first fight. Calgar was overwhelmed. In the second fight, the Tyrannic veterans isolated and herded the Swarmlord toward Calgar. It was a true 1 v 1. The text says that Calgar defeated the Swarmlord with HIS BARE HANDS.The Swarmlord cheats. Look at how it fought the Overfiend. Round one, when the Overfiend cornered it, the Swarmlord got beaten up and torn in half.In the second fight, the Swarmlord refused to engage the Overfiend. It swarmed him with powerful bioforms until he was too wounded and exhuasted to put up a fight against it and then it attacked him and killed him.
>>98396930>No. He didn't. The Swarmlord attacked Calgar with its Tyrant Guard in the first fight. Calgar was overwhelmed. Incorrect. His honor guard took on the Tyrant Guard while Calgar 1v1'd the Swarmlord and got fucking obliterated low diff.>The Swarmlord cheats. Holy mother of cope>In the second fight, the Swarmlord refused to engage the Overfiend.

>>98396275Yeah that guy was for the space wolves getting destroyed collage :^)>>98396834Appreciated, anon. I use TTC burgundy triad for those - sword hilt burgundy basecoat, then I layer royal cloak for shading(adding a little bit of a very dark blue to it for the deepest recesses) and glistening gums for highlights.

Blue is just another shade of geeen
>>98396042The one that is just a mirror job is particularly egregious just lazy. It was probably a slambo pose reference but done poorly as it just looked like a half ass attempted mirror button making.
>>98396957I do.But I want you to prove your claim. I have the page right in front of me.
>>98396973>I do.then stop begging other people to prove your own claims for you, kek
>>98396996But you made the claim that Calgar's honor guard, though. It's not in the text I am seeing in front of me.Where did you get it? Are you pretending to be retarded? We need to iron that out before I post the text.

>>98396957Calling people a secondary when you get your lore from TTS is incredible projection.

>>98397006Yesss master gw I shall only purchase my models from you! And I shall no longer dare to criticize your great works! I am sorry sir I shall buy your next admech battleforce
Since anon is a bitch and won't deliver here is the text from 6th ed Marine codex:>Sensing its prey was about to escape, the Swarmlord plunged into the fray alongside a horde of elite hive-warriors, cutting a path straight towards Calgar. The Lord of Ultramar stood his ground, laying waste to xenos horrors with every swing of his fists. But the Tyranids were too many, and Calgar’s body was rent and torn. When he came face-to-face with the Swarmlord, he was on the verge of death, yet still would not yield. Locked in a mortal duel, they fought like mythic gods, and though Calgar struck with his last ounce of strength, he was laid low by the monster’s blades.The Swarmlord cheated. It only engaged Calgar after he was on the verge of death after fighting a swarm of elite Tyranids. It was not a 1 v 1.
I get my lore by watching Charlie otherwise known as moistcritikal
>>98396998>But you made the claim that Calgar's honor guard, though. It's not in the text I am seeing in front of me.Any source which argues Calgar's honor guard was not present and protecting him from the Tyrant Guard is tacitly wrong. It's quite literally pivotal to that battle. In fact, it was Commander of the Honor Guard Aloysius who held the Swarmlord and the Tyrant Guard at bay long enough for the Ultramarines to medevac Calgar. >Where did you get it? Are you pretending to be retarded? We need to iron that out before I post the text.Considering you just claimed the honor guard were not there, I think we can safely conclude you're a lying retard coping hard.
>>98397039>the decalfag situation is crazy
>>98397039Bro the swarmlord situation is CRAZY! The vect allegations are insane!
>>98397040See >>98397038The Honour Guard only managed to pull Calgar away after he was beaten.There is zero text that says they held anything back. You are making stuff up.
>>98397032>He doesn't know about TTS Newfag secondary fag. Double fat right there.
>>98397038>>98397047>6th edition4th edition says Calgar wasn't even on the ground. He was in orbit during that battle, commanding the fleet. 5th edition agrees it was a duel, with the Honor Guard holding back the Tyrant Guard, and that it was the Swarmlord who gravely wounded Calgar.Imagine choosing 6th edition as your source. Kek.

>>98397062>siraya techIt isn’t a meme and you’re speaking from experience that it genuinely is a quality printing resin for minis?I know we meme about demands for models being posted in arguments but I’m genuinely asking for models printed from that resin to be posted along with what color and whether the resin was water washable and what resin printer please.For verification that you’re speaking from genuine experience.
I use transfers is there something wrong with that? I don’t what being a decal is
>>98397069>/40kg/ had enough warhammer 40k lolcows for a YouTuber to milk I think those were bad because they created schizophrenics who thought new threads were just content farming threads by YouTubers. But this time those schizophrenics had more validity in their paranoia.
>>98397067genuine skill issue if you're managing to break plastic bits just through assemblystop being a braindead caveman>>98397070it's not a meme, everybody recommends siraya because it's the bestI dropped a model from about 8 feet up on accident and it bounced off my table and onto my hardwood floor and the only thing that broke was the superglue binding the arm to the torsoalso regardless of brand never get water washable shit, THAT is the most brittle printing resin you'll ever see
>>98397069If y'all hadn't chased off neckbeardia we could all be listening to a tts narrated decalfag video.
>>98397073No, nothing wrong with using transfers when it makes sense. All things in moderation though.
>>98397038>>98397047>>98397061Here's 9th edition's rendition:>At Cold Steel Ridge, the Tyranid swarms massed so thickly that such tactics could not hold them at bay. It was during this battle that the Ultramarines faced the most dangerous Tyranid creature yetencountered. Codenamed the Swarmlord, this enhanced Hive Tyrant displayed strategic acumen equal to the Ultramarines’ and began to overrun the Adeptus Astartes’ positions. Knowing that to remain planetside would doom his warriors in the field, Calgar ordered gunships to extract the Ultramarines to the orbiting battle barge Octavius. Sensing its prey was about to escape, the Swarmlord plunged into the fray alongside a horde of elite hivewarriors, cutting a path straight towards Calgar and engaging the Chapter Master in a brutal duel. Calgar and his Honour Guard fought like gods of war, but even they were sorely mauled and survived only thanks to the timely arrival of the evacuation gunships. Marneus Calgar would live to fight on, but Cold Steel Ridge was lost.That's two codexes saying it was a duel with the Honor Guard protecting him, against your one saying the Swarmlord "cheated" and the Honor Guard were nowhere near. Lel. You're so full of shit.
>>98397070as for printers you can't go wrong with elegoo ones, whatever the modern mars is would be a perfect starting point
>>98397080>it’s not a meme>that storyI’m sorry man that just reached too good to be true. I’ll have to do more research on resins for printing.>avoid water washable Yeah I learned to just not risk it. And I need isopropyl alcohol anyways for paint stripping.

>>983970856th ED doesn't count, but 9th does? Strange.I am not seeing that text in the 9th codex. Which page?
>>98397073transfers are fine, you just need to aim to not have every spare space covered in decals or to not have massive blobs of decals like pic related.
>>98397102>degreaserI’ll have to do more research then.Thanks.By the way what’s the best website that answers 3d printing questions?Some sites feel like paid off clickbait and YouTubers can be a bit less trustworthy as they might parrot debunked myths as fact like warhammer 40k loretubers repeating false lore put into wikis by trolls or autists that want their headcanon real.

>>98397195I don't think is correct. Terran marines seem about the same tech as Votann, and a few Votann can definitely take a space marine.

The Ironkin machine-minds chart the currents of the Warp and calculate their location via the Warp beacons of the Votann Cores.The Kroot navigation is not scientific. It's instinctive. They somehow can hone in on worlds with life on them and navigate toward them. One Kroot Kindred was given a Warp navigation machine by Kin as payment.

>>98396118the problem is the communities that people naturally think to ask for recommendations / list advice are consumed by WAACfaggotsI've posted a list in a CASUAL listbuilding channel and had people start grilling me over including unit X over Y because it's less "efficient"I've had people get personally offended because I said that I tone it down playing casually with my friends and that my whole friend group kind of expects that of each other unless we're agreeing to sweatA guy was straight up telling me he never "gimps himself" and that he "doesn't know a single person who would do that"these are the kinds of people who are most vocal in [faction] discords, giving advice to new players
>>98397490>shitty colorsReverse them.
>>98397525
>>98397495>know for Sure. It understands all kinds of shit it doesn't do like metal fabrication. The idea that its somehow cheating in some sort of fair fight setup is fucking retarded. Its an all consuming animal death mind. It doesn't give a fuck about any of that it wants to feed.
>>98396118>>98397531additionally there are some people (esp strategy game enjoooyers) who just naturally gravitate towards treating it like a set of interlocking systems to solve efficiently for one of my buddies (and myself to a far lesser extent), if you were to lock him in a room with XYZ codex and no outside info he would probably emerge with a "meta" list because he just sniffs that shit out
>>98397490The whole Salamanders being bantus thing is just fanfiction. 90% of the time they have Caucasian features with charcoal skin.
>>98397541Actually, the idea that it was an animal mind was refuted by the Devastation of Baal novel.It's hyper-intelligent and understands abstract concepts. It's just so evil and selfish that it doesn't bother with them
>>98397531>had people start grilling me over including unit X over Y because it's less "efficient"Yea, I've had that a few times; I wanted to add a few Hippogriffs to my guard army because I like the fantasy of armored cars proceeding a tank assault and got the "why even play it" response. Some people just can't have fun unless they win, and that was the crux of my initial ask.>had people get personally offended because I said that I tone it down playing casually with my friendsI had a similar response with my friend over this; he got mad at me trying to bring this point up, that I intentionally pick units because I like them, not because they're good, and he insisted that "he just likes the good units" and didn't understand why someone would want to play weaker units "for fun.">>98397542Also fair assessment, I've never played meta in PC strategy games either, I always build armies of units I think look cool, meta be damned, and I usually lose because of it.
What is the pragmatic reason for why GW doesn't include model photos like pic related in their main 40k codexes and rulebooks? Are "digitized dioramas" more expensive to make than commissioning a digital and/or traditional artist to draw 40k stuff?I like these pics. But I understand if people prefer digital art and the "soulful" art.
I like vehicles2k exactly with points changes.https://www.newrecruit.eu/app/list/KUKWl
>>98397556Salamders are reddit incarnate
>>98397577probably because it takes a lot more coordination and more hands on the project to >get all the models painted in the specific way they want (faction colors)>make sure they are posed in a certain way that isn't repetitive (hard to do since everything is monopose now)>get photographs at the correct angles>have someone compile the separate models together into a cohesive scene>have someone edit the photos to make the fact that it's just a collage of assorted models less obviousor they can just hire one artist who can pump out a barely-above-a-sketch tier piece of art with a couple of prompts in an afternoon
>>98397577as cool as they look, people like seeing art depicting their dudes in ways they wouldn’t necessarily see on the tabletop, and it allows poses and situations that wouldn’t work with a model in a position intended to be actively charging, shooting your gun, yelling, or just standing. pic related is a good example. notice how the tau are flinching backward from the orks, and the battlesuit is turning around to shoot an ork at its side. these poses just wouldn’t work if they were standard models.
>>98397556And the other 10% of the time before that they were drawn with African features and painted with brown instead of charcoal skin. In the Index Astartes article their gene-seed is said to be stable and uncorrupted with no mention of it causing anything to their skin. In the same article, when the Emperor arrives, his skin is remarked as being pale by the Nocturnians.
Why does everyone hate Phobos armor?
>>98397613Because it looks fucking stupid.
>>98397615does anyone have the chris chan colors
>>98397577>>98397602here’s another good example. see how the ork is pinning down the marine, while another marine grabs a boy by the jaw? it would be an absolute nightmare to make that idea in model form, but its easily done through an artist paid pennies.
>>98397556>90% of the time they have Caucasian features with charcoal skin.Maybe it is why Games Workshop doesn't show the Warhammer 40k Salamanders and their chapters that much because of social media sensitivity? And they're usually helmeted.I think this is why someone on the Warhammer Plus Pariah Nexus team made the right call to have Sa'kan deez nutz have an East Asian looking face.If he was charcoal red eyed white boy there would be blackface controversies.If he was black there still would have controversies. We probably would have had a field day if Sa'kan took off his helmet and was a red eyed charcoal black Arab or Native American or Indian.
>>98397615Chicken legs
>>98397613I think the Blood Claw design would work way better as a Phobos variant. It's lighter and more streamlined, but still very much a suit of power armour.
>>98397613I like it personally
>>98397628They already ruined Wolf Scouts with Phobos. They don't need to ruin Blood Claws, too.
>>98397598That buzzword means nothing these daysIf you're gonna disagree then articulate yourself properly, fag nigger
>>98397634What's wrong with with the Blood Claw design?
>>98397601>>98397602>>98397618I think you both are correct.It is probably a meme style of miniature photos that the fans get annoying about constantly preaching how good they are too, but I'll like them even if they get dumbed down badly like Steampunk did. Or grimdark paintstyles and Blanchtisu painting styles. I am thinking of utilizing abominable intelligence to analyze these images and hopefully the chatbot machine spirit will spew out the proper steps for me to make these pictures. Using Affinity Photo (free to download and use like GIMP but hopefully better) on LinuxThe Horus Heresy "digitized dioramas" for lack of a better term are one of the few things that stop me from trying painting styles outside the basecoat+wash or 'eavy metal but no highlights style instead of trying something like cel shaded or comic book style miniature painting. I don't think comic book style or cel shaded would work for such photo editing.Yet I want to try the other styles after seeing a thread up about it. Was oddly civilized there but it isn't a hard bar to meet compared to this place.
>>98395995My brother's been wanting exodites for years and I specifically play Snakebites Orks. We're still skipping the box because its that shit of a value.
>>98397642Nothing. Other than it's primaris.They did fine with the transition to primaris by mixing armour marks, just like the old kit.Would utterly ruin them to add dogshit like phobos.
>>98397645>Nothing.So why are you opposed to the idea of replacing the Phobos design with what the Blood Claws got? Maybe drop the extra plates from the forearms (like on Phobos) and thighs to lighten the armour a little more. There, a perfectly suitable "light" power armour for sneaking without looking like someone ran out of the armoury wearing a half-finished suit.
PRIMARIS ARE KINGS
>>98397613>Why does everyone hate Phobos armor?I dislike phobos armor in the same reason I dislike space marine scouts. I would prefer space marines to just be heavily armored killing machines stealth be damned. Their boltguns should have been the standard boltgun pattern. Or at the very least the default botlgun should have been the compact godwyn but with the cawl cylinder to differentiate it.>>98397628I remember talking about space marines being milked with "sanctus space marines" and "nihilus space marines" where the sanctus were the regular primaris marine armors and sanctus was a mishmash of different patterns cobbled together because supply logistical ships being raided/lost to the warp forcing tech heresy jury rigging.>And then the Armageddon box came out with just thatIs there really a top brass GW exec who lurks here for ideas from idiots like us including me?I do not like believing in coincidences and I am not that intern "subtly" teasing you guys.
>>98397661Pure kinorino, incredible paint job.
>>98397661I think they just overdo the red most of the time. Having gold/bronze trim like on your model looks great.
>>98397639NTA but I find the whole "wholesome chungus marines dey just the sweetest cinnamon roll" shtick of sallies really fucking boring and way overwanked. To me it's the equivalent of people who want to play anti-chaos chaos marines.The Lamenters are really the only marines I give that sort of woobie bullshit a pass for because the universe is constantly kicking them in the dick for their benevolence but they keep at it anyways. Sallies have way too much plot armor and have never really had their ideals tested the way Lamenters have, so their benevolence just comes across as performative and overblown.
>>98397657I misread what you were saying. I read that as "put blood claws in phobos" (barf).But it wouldn't work anyway since Blood Claws are just wearing mixes of old Mk VI and Mk VII with MK X. The poses are literally just the Assault Intercessors with a few extra bits stuck on in CAD.
>>98395995If gun to my head you asked me to fix this box but still include the sniggas, I'd probably do >squighog riders upgrade sprue kill team for orks for some neato mirror matches, maybe with some unique hunting squigs included>give them a more brutal ramming version of the unique movement Exodites get>sniggaboyz and some ambulls (or fantasy critters even) as NPOs, with the narrative justification being they're interrupting the Squighog KT's hunt with their shenanigans so they're just as much an enemy as the ambulls and exodites
>>98397677>Blood Claws are just wearing mixes of old Mk VI and Mk VII with MK XIt's just MkX with some MkX helmet variants (despite the face plate, they still got the extended ears, etc.) The Sternguard kit comes with an actual MkVII helmet without the MkX style elements to it. Phobos already got knee pads without the flare and single piece greaves without knee pads are not unique to the MkVI. There's MkV and even MkIII armour with them.
>>98397668>Is there really a top brass GW exec who lurks here for ideas from idiots like us including me?4chan isn't exactly a hidden little corner of the internet anymore. We know (video) game devs lurk /v/ and /vg/, so it's not a big stretch that someone that works for GW in the line of people who design and push out new model sculpts would be /here/.
>>98397668>Is there really a top brass GW exec who lurks here for ideas from idiots like us including me?It's probably the opposite as well: soft launch their ideas in various corners of the internet and see how well received they are before committing
>>98397689I'd rather the snagga boyz get an upgrade kit with harpoon guns or whatever so the Firing Deck on Kill Rigs and Hunta Rigs stops being a total waste of time.Though really the Kill Rig needs the Wurr boy to scale in power based on how many orks it's transporting.
>>98397705Yeah I'd be down with that too. Honestly you could probably upgrade sprue BOTH and make a decent kill team>harpoon boys immobilize enemies to make them easier for squighogz to ram>can bring the smasha squig nob or the footslogger nob, but not both>you also can't bring a full complement of pooners and hoggers to KT, so you have to choose whether you want more tactical options, more fast paced brutality, or a steady balance of both
>>98397726Poonerboy ork kill team and they're all just shorter and weaker than regular orks.
I bought a couple boxes of Space Marines because I want to try to make some myself. My friend and I, who both play a lot of Warhammer video game, went to the game store in town to get them and I saw a case with yellow space marines. How do people mess up that bad or did some kid buy them and say, “even though they’re clearly blue in the game and on the box, I’m going to make them yellow!”?
>>983977691/10 bait. I replied.
What is the next CSM legion that should get a unique range?
>>98397777Black Legion
>>98397777Alpha Legion, but I'm not sure how that would work.GW would say they could be anybody then just shove out an upgrade kit and the promotional pics would just show the renegade marines and CSM legionaries with Alpha Legion shoulderpads and helmets.
>>98396031why is everyone still hating on the snaggas, a beastboss + snaggas squad is almost in every army so it definitely hasnt failed (granted with the recent green tide spam that hasnt been the case). mozrog is a popular choice, wortsnagga is in many armies and squighogs come and go. the only one that isnt popular is probably the kill rig
>rollin deff>can use a strat that gives vehicles rapid fire on every weapon, with rapid fire in this case doubling all of the shots on said weapon>ohhh this could be good on a kill rig, double shots from the wurrtower attacks>tfw its only for battlewagons>tfw it excludes firing deckbig shootas already have rapid fire 2, so this only improves the lobba and kannon / zzap gun, which all hit on 5s. fuckin horrible strat
gsc bros, how'd you get through so many neophyte squads without blowing your brains out?
>>98397816Probably because the Snagga boys themselves are a very basic kit without a lot of options. Boyz get rokkits and big shootas, with kombi-weapons, power klaws and big choppas on the nob while snaggas just have one grenade launcher and a wimpier power klaw on the boss and monster killer rules that don't really fit the weapons they have. An upgrade kit that added monster hunter weapons like harpoon guns, grenade spears, hook claws etc. would do a lot to give the unit appeal.
>>98397838id be open to an upgrade sprue, maybe give those special weapons assault as all this unit is doing is charging shit. harpoon guns and grenade spears with an anti vehicle profile with at least -2 ap would be great, -1 ap is futile atm. given that they are basing around the old skarboys units i cant remember if they were given access to rokkits and big shootas back then
Anyone here got a thunderhawk? How was assembly? Have you had a chance to play it? Post pics NOW!
I hope we get Calgar on Dais of Destruction
>>98397833Because we love painting models here chief, now power through it brother!
>>98397811They're the Ultramarines of CSM, they should just use generic rules.
I like every faction in the game and could see myself playing any of them. Except GSC. And Kroot. I'd play GSC with skaven proxies though
>>98397855did you enjoy painting 60+ neophytes?
>>98397833Are vehicles from GSC like the rockgrinder gonna be usable in imperial guard in tournaments? I sometimes wonder if those vehicles are better than actual guard vehicles.
>>98397869I don't play GSC
>>98397878do you mean as like proxies?
>>98397880i know, hence why i said it. you'll never understand the pain>>98397878i mean you can use them in brood brothers pretty sure, im not a guard player so i dont know if they are better than the guard transports. the goliath truck giving the reroll to wound buff is pretty good. oh wait these trucks can only transport gsc units, nevermind
>>98397852I read this as something completely different and was wonder where it came from
>>98397909>>98397913I mean stats, but I think proxies would be nicer.I think they will work for that centaur RSV that is the truck with an open back.
>>98397921>I mean stats,No, you cant use GSC units in a guard army
>>98397880Do you play space wolves perchance?
>>98397869NTA but batchpainting the entire 60 model mass in one day was fun
>>98397931>No, you cant use GSC units in a guard armyI don't intend to try in tournaments, just converted ones for casual games. How likely am I gonna encounter spergs who will be against this kind of proxying of taking a unit from another army and putting it in my own?I plan to let my opponent(s) know ahead of time and maybe let said opponent(s) use their own custom homebrew models too.
>>98397856Ultras get special units, so should BLs
>>98397984>batchpainting the entire 60 model mass in one day was funCan you describe your batchpainting process?One basecoat colour after another across the 60 models and then a wash over them?I feel motivated. Inspired even.
>>98397978Yea its one of my armies, why??
>>98397988most people are fine with it, some will avoid you because they're in 24/7 training for the next tournament mode.GSC have a detachment where you can take up to 50% guard models if you have to be 100% within the rules but it isn't very good.
>>98397995I see. I guess my hunch was right. You're too easy to spot.
>>98397994yeah first paint one model to make sure your process works out as intended, I felt very silly painting the white base coat and washing and then realizing I have to wash again after painting the bags and stuff.My process was: white basecoat, skin contrast, gray for the armor bits, the brown pouches and shit, the red bombs, the metallic bits and bobs, and finish with nuln oil
>>98398000...come on man
>>98397995Still working on those hellblasters, little buddy?
>>98398017You used your catchphrases again. It's your own fault really.

What is the strongest possible way to run a warhound/chaos warhound titan in a 2000pt game?
>>98397998Thanks! What are some general guidelines to follow when homebrewing the stats and point values of one's custom models? I so far just cannibalize rules and point values from other models of different existing armies. I know communication is very important and I think allowing opponents to use his homebrew helps a lot.>>98398009Thanks anon!
>>98398070You use it as terrain.
>>98398076no
>>98397984>>98398009holy fuck anon thats impressive, my process isnt much different to yours but involves an oil wash on the skin and thats about it. are you currently running host?
>>98398022>>98398095wew lad decal man going in for the kill
>>98398095so you haven't painted those hellblasters you said you'd finish 9 months ago?
>>98398100I meant 15K+ models painted, stupid typos let that queer boi think he was close.
>>98398095You know that paying somebody to shit a rattlecan basecoat on a model doesn't mean you've painted it just because you slap 500 decals on each tank, right?
>>98398095Read your own post and ask yourself why people here don't like you
>>98398111trips of truth
>>98398071well what you want isn't exactly homebrewing, just say you want to use these models from a different army in your army, they wont benefit from any synergies because most abilities, detachment rules and stratagems are keyword locked so it will be almost always a slight downgrade, which will make people more inclined to let you do it.>>98398085Nah I'm a bit tired of rolling neophyte shooting attacks so often, I'm playing the 3 one pointers together, I like the flexibility.
>>98398085forgot to mention, with the decent discount 20 mans of neos got host is still 100% viable, the only detachment combo that sucks is brood bros+anything.
>>98398095Decal guy can i ask you a question? Why do you keep ban evading? You keep telling everyone to follow the rules and stay on topic while you yourself keep breaking them by evading your bans. Seems a little hypocritical.
I've always wanted to know, how does japan dub the whole "battle brother" or "brother" schtick when Space Marines talk to each other?Because i am currently having a seizure thinking that in japan, marines just call each other oni-san or god forbid, oni-chan.

>>98398115>>98398117oh nice what does your 3x1dp list look like? im starting with small games atm so ill just be running the purestrain and the neophyte detachment now. i think we lucked out with our 1dp detachments because imo they are all pretty good. i dont have a guard army so wont be running brood brothers anytime soon, i do plan on running final day eventually its just trying to figure out which 1dp detachment to take with it, whatever one has reconnaissance could be great for final day
>>98398196I'm aware it exists, i am just afraid of it existing in actual official media

If a transport remained stationary, you can disembark, then move or advance, shoot, and charge (following normal rules for charge/run/shoot limitations).If a transport made a normal move, you can disembark, you can shoot and perform an action, but you cannot charge.If a transport advanced, you can not disembark.If a transport is destroyed, you emergency disembark, which is being placed as close as possible and becoming automatically battleshocked without a test.
「 WAAAGH! 」
>>98398248If that unit becomes battle shocked after disembarking, do they have to roll to pass it in that players turn as well as per the new rules? That would make transports even worse if thats the case
>>98398102he pays people to paint his models for him, chief. his guy stopped doing it for him which is why he hasnt added a new model in months.
>>98398269Such an evil lie spread by malicious niggers
>>98398269Thought a commision painter would be a little better than that given how many of his models have pooling from washes, etc
>>98398150why not nakama? its a better translation, even though it loses its masculine connotation. kyodai otherwise. As cheesy as it is nakama literally means what battle brother means, its like your found family / compatriot. kyodai has a more yakuzo sounding vibe.

>>98397379Grey knights don't really do subfactions with different colours, but I'd say the mascot is Crowe (the only up to date model in the range) and by extension the purifiers (white helmets). It also helped that he had great rules for the last half of 10th, with warpbane task force being the only competetive option a period.
>>98398289I love storm bolters so much
>>98398150Granted this is from the vidya but in the Space Marine 2 Japanese dub they apparently just say the English word brother.https://youtu.be/P_ekru8wRt4
>>98398299I'd like to see your ork collection anon. I have snaggas and I played in 3rd & 4th. I agree that the push fit boyz were shithouse

>>98398304Custodes, which pains me to say
>>98398304Night Lords. They literally just exist to make distinctive corpses in the art of other factions.
>>98398583I don't think there are many artworks with night lords in that role, aside from the one where genecultists fuck them up
>>98397343>Terran marines seem about the same tech as VotannI don't think the Terran Confederacy or Dominion had the same kind of fucking crazy materials 40k has like ceramite. Votann have crazy Dark Age tech shit too. Meanwhile Terrans are still using titanium and shit like that.
>>98397195>>98397343>>98398708The average terran marine uses a Gauss RifleOnly necrons understand Gauss tech in 40KThat battle bruvva is getting his asshole squadbroken
>>98398733You realize Necron Gauss Flayers aren't actually Gauss rifles and actually have nothing to do with Gauss rifle technology, right? And that there are multiple Gauss weapons in the admech and tau rosters?
>>98398733Necron weapons tear things apart at the atomic level.
>>98398733this is an imperial understanding of necron technology
>>98398750poor guy's been reading the uplifting primer again
>>98398733>We use gaussian curves for graphs>It means we're necron tech now!
>>98398761Can you kill someone with a gaussian curve? Or a gaussian blur?
>>98398766yes
>>98398769Then you might just be a terran marine
i'm going to PAINT some MODELS this weekend HELL YEAH
>>98398781I won't paint at all this weekend because my gf is coming over :(
>>98398775terran marine is a silly name
>>98398786Not if you know how qualifiers work. Space marine is the one that's fundamentally silly, especially in 40K's context since Navy Breachers are the ACTUAL closest thing to "space marines" of the setting
Why are custodes so hated here?
>>98398798they are at the center of a number of retcons that highlight negative changes in how 40k as a game and setting is written >what do you mean 40k isn't 30k and we shouldn't have everything from 30k pop up in 40k as well? well we gotta sell primarchs and demigods now though!>what do you mean they never leave the palace because they're the guards of the emperor? well now blue daddy says they do!>what do you mean they don't have enough numbers to do anything in the galaxy? well now they have always had 10000 dudes!>what do you mean you don't want the setting to be altered for political reasons? well now there have always been female (not)marines(gold)!>what do you mean this is a wargame where people deploy and want to play against armies? well now you play against these 10 dudes because we gotta sell them to timmy!also general powerscaling faggotry and the relative simplicity of collecting and painting them attracts a particularly bad type of newcomers that have more to do with hardcore dbz fans than warhammer fans.
>>98398798>lame army>just Marines++>shouldn't be off of Terra anyways>were the metafag pick some editions ago>are now the trans-inclusive army
>>98398785have her paint models with you>but she doesn’t want to paint with meshe’s not worth it, dump her.
>>98397674>"wholesome chungus marines dey just the sweetest cinnamon roll" shtickYou mean the qualities that are contiguously exaggerated by the playerbase? Don't let the retardation of others color how you perceive something.>Sallies have way too much plot armor and have never really had their ideals tested the way LamentersIn one of the arguably most popular books in all of Warhammer, ADB completely shit on them for their methods.
>>98398834>You mean the qualities that are contiguously exaggerated by the playerbase?Yeah. That shit can get annoying. I also get pissed at people who flanderize orks into DEY CLAPPY DERE HANDS AND STICKS TURN INTO NUKES ECKS DEE. But at least a lot of orkfags push back against that representation.>Don't let the retardation of others color how you perceive something.It's kinda hard when that's the ONLY defining trait they have. No one talks about any of their other features other than them being black. Just that they're wholesome chungus nice guys who dindu nuffin wrong.>ADB completely shit on them for their methods.ADB shits on anything that isn't chaos, this is hardly a strike against their plot armor.
>>98398845>DEY CLAPPY DERE HANDS AND STICKS TURN INTO NUKES ECKS DEEI wonder, if GW made one (1) orkish special character and made that whole thing his thing, making it clear that only he can do that shit like that, would that make people deflanderise orks as a whole because they have a specific containment for the gimmick?
>>98398852Nope, it'd do the opposite since now they have an example to retardedly extrapolate against. >Well since Gorkly Clappymorkly can do it, that means any ork with a sufficient WAAAAAGH level can!>this means even the smallest grot can affect all of reality with sufficient WAAAAAGH preptime!You need to understand how these powerscaler retards work and realize that giving them an inch allows them to flanderize a mile.
>>98398289>no bolt rifles or carbine nonsensePerfection.
>>98397195>fixed for accuracy>my toy is better than yours!40k marinefags are cringe.
Tell me your hobby thoughts, /40kg/.
RHINO RUSH IS BACK ON THE MENU
>>98398861There's a bolt carbine in that very image.
>>98397613Unnecessary and detroys the space marine silhouette with smaller shoulders and without flared legs.
>>98398857You're probably right, they wouldn't respect any set boundaries or exclusivity, but now I'm stuck with the mental image of testuork
>>98398870Show me where in the text does it say carbine.
>>98398864>chastity belt still attachedI can see why he’s in agony.
>>98398865
>>98398864this model makes my pp hard
So what's the Dark Mech's relationship with the Omnisiah? Do they just trade the Emperor with the chaos gods in regard to who they see as an aspect of the Onmisiah?
>>98398874Greenstuff a cape onto your weirdboy and have fun!
>>98398878The text is wrong, it's an old publication which is no longer canon.They are just bolt carbines now.
>>98398884They just worship vashtorr, the concept of the omnissiah is discarded.
>>98398887The scout datasheet and every other datasheet outside of the space marine codex begs to differ.
Why can’t knights actually have swords?
>>98398884>>98398890Dark Mech originate as a schism where some of the AdMech still believed the Emperor and Omnissiah are two different things. Lots of them got infected with scrapcode and lost their shit, or completely fell to Chaos and said fuck the Omnissiah like the other Anon said. Even still, Hereteks run the gamut from just renegade Tech-Priests that got pushed out to anyone that questions doctrine too much or just being affiliated with the wrong asshole at the wrong time.
>>98398902They do????
>>98398908That’s not a sword, and I meant actually wielding it. Not having it be integrated as part of their frame.
>>98398884>>98398906You could probably have darkmech who claim Vashtorr is the omnissiah, who think he's just a fragment of the omnissiah the same way the Emperor was supposed to be, or who think the omnissiah has yet to reveal himself to them. The galaxy is your oyster, fuck it how you please!
>>98398902fuck off back to /aosg/, cuck
>>98398912>That’s not a sword,It's literally a chainsword>Not having it be integrated as part of their frame.Integrated weapons are still weapons any TRVE mecha fan will rape you if you suggest otherwise.
>going to be 55% humidity and 92 degrees F outsidedo I risk it? does hear matter that much when it comes to priming?
>>98398814
>>98397814>alpha legion faction traitup to half of their points (500, 1000, 1500) can come from any other faction, and units added this way gain the alpha legion keyword in addition to their already existing keywords>those screamers that just blew up your rhino? it was alpharius flapping his arms really hard
>>98398928cerastus are so sexy
What will Dark Mech's stupid trademarkable "in-universe" name be?
>>98398902>>98398912the original knight designs went out with colony ships during the Dark Age of Technology, they were intended to be maintained relatively easily with parts they could manufacture with STCs so really complex mechanical digits weren't something they wanted to invest in
>>98398894>scout datasheetIrrelevant.
>>98398936
>>98398945it's a powerfist dude
>>98398935Mechanicum Chaotica
>>98398941>everything that proves me wrong is irrelevant
>>98398948it's complex mechanical digits they invested into
>>98398955It's a specific loadout, not something that is in every single knight model.
>>98398955close it around a sword and the sword explodes
>>98398958>It's a specific loadouta very common one, something that can be on each and every knight model with melee weapons
>>98398962That's not how power fields work or how a mechanical hand has to work.
knights are also repurposed colony ships so i wanna see you integrate a giant powersword into a ship's chassis and no, a giant bayonet is not the answer
>>98398968anon a powerfist either crushes or smashes, that's it's two purposes
>>98398968Citation needed
>>98398766>Or a gaussian blur?what about necromatic aberration
>>98398973>>98398974
just bought 400 more krootoxes
>>98398985
>>98398902You're looking at the wrong Knights.
>>98398985Okay this does look retarded now
>>98398988
>>98398932i'm not a knightfag but the cerastus and acastus knights are fucking dopewhy aren't these the default instead of the lame ass questoris knights
>>98398815>trans inclusive>models are explicitly male and female onlyplease explain
>>98398998because the acastus is the size of a titan while the point of knights is to be a size category in-between titans and dreadnoughts
>>98399013>>98399013>>98399013
>>98398985>>98398988Not powerfists
>>98398221King of the Hill having a following in Japan feels like satire. It is interesting tho.
>>98398890>>98398906I wonder if and when we get a Dark Mech army they'll follow a scrapcode infected Men of Iron that's turned into a demon prince on par with Vashtorr.
>>98398928Knights also ruin 40k as a game, yes
>>98398954I'm not wrong. They are just bolt carbines now.
>>98399024The grey knight codex that introduced the dreadknight literally called its doomfists "dreadnought-sized power fists", and the same doomfists were equipped by their normal dreadnought as well.They're power fists, as much if not more than the knight titan's.
>female space marines already exist but they look identical to men lolololololWhy does every newfag propose this exact idea?
